IPhone 6 seems to use huge volume of other memory

For eg. on my iPhone 6 with 16GB memory I see 958 MB for photos, 286 MB for apps, 54 MB for documents and data & 10.5 GB of Other data.I keep deleting apps and the memory freed up gets gobbled up by other data in no time. The iPhone has become unuseable - even to look at contacts / make phone calls. I called Apple support but they were of no help. all I was told was to restore the iPhone. By the way I started having this issue only when my OS was updated to 8.2. Any one has similar issues ?

Since few days iPhone 4 suddenly uses huge amount of data and battery, how to find out which App is guilty?

Hi Community,
since Friday my iPhone 4 startet using huge amounts of mobile data and rapidly wastes battery lifetime (50% in 3 hous!) It also gets quite warm even when I don't use it at all.
I suspect an app does this, because in flight mode battery is ok.
How do I find out which app is to blame without having to uninstall all apps?
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards

You need to look into using the SQL*Loader utility:

My 3G iphone seems to use slow GPRS rather than wifi, how come?

I know my wifi works fine as my pc is running of it, and my iphone was using the wifi up until a few days ago. Now my iphone seems to be using a slow GPRS connection which sometimes jumps to 3G.
It's really annoying as it's slower than wifi. It says it's connected to wifi in the settings with a full signal...but doesn't show the wifi symbol in the top left.
Please help!

How do you have settings set? If you are connected to a wifi signal and do not move, your iPad should not summarily change over to 3G, unless the wifi signal is lost or very weak. It could be when you are connected via wifi, the signal is weak, thus the turnover to 3G. If I were you, I would absolutely turn off celular data when you have a strong wifi signal and I suspect your iPad is acting as it should......

Hi, I turned my macbook pro off before I went to sleep, and this morning when I awaken. I can't seem to use the volume at all! I went to system preferences sound output BUT everything is light grey and it some-how looks like I don't have permission.

Hi, I turned my MacBook Pro off before I went to sleep, and this morning when I awaken. I can't seem to turn up or down my volume. It comes up with all the volume bars and a little circle sign with a diagonal line in the middle, like a stop sign. I have gone to system preferences > Volume > Output BUT all my volume preferences have gone all light grey and wont let me access them.
Anyone help?

Hi EmalooneyToons,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

My program on Solaris 9 uses huge amounts of swap space

hi,
i have written a program that uses very little memory but seems to use huge amounts of swap space in increments of 1.4GB. The initial install of the Solaris 9 only allocated 500MB of swap for 4GB of Memory. The swap space has now been increased to 16GB but the program seems to use more swap space.
The program uses an api to attach to up to 100 agents and (the peice i wrote) registers a callback to handle events from the agents, a small amount of memory is allacated to hold details of each agent but no more.
Can anyone shed any light on this as this program does run on other platforms with any issues.

are you sure you are release memory, what language are you using?
you can reboot the system and follow the memory process using vmstat and swap -l, after that run your program only one time, and run the command again so the memory after should be the same that the initial before you run your process, if not , you program is collecting memory and is not releasing it.
Good luck,
JoshD

My iPhone 5S is using 2.5GBs of storage for the camera roll. I deleted all but 190 photos and this did not change. My other devices cannot backup to iCloud due to the volume on my iPhone. Any ideas?

Try turning off the Camera Roll option in Settings>iCloud>Backup & Storage>Manage Storage>Your device. Then turn it back on again.

Having upgraded iOS7 on both my iPad and iPhone yesterday, I am now not able to use my FaceTime on either device. I seem to get through and the other party can hear me but I can see nor hear nothing.

I have iPhone 4s, and using latest iOS. When I try to open any link from Twitter or Facebook, it goes to open some wrong webpage. My iphone seems to be infected or suffering from some spyware or malware. How can I remove this wrong link opening ? Please help me to resolve...

I think the McAfee suite will do the trick when I pay them a one-time fee of $69 or $179 for a year for unlimited support.
Your call of course but IMO a waste of money. Please read this first:
There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac has NOT been infected by a virus, it may have another security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.

Is there any way of sharing my Macbook Pro's Wifi connection to iPhone 4 (Not Using iPhone as hotspot for laptop the other way around)

So a nasty smash destroyed both Front & Back of my iPhone 4, and since having them replaced the Wifi signal has been really weak.
I have seen other posts about screen replacement having to be done by going through the antenna, so something could be missing, or done incorrectly during the screen repair. Will definately be taking it back to the shop and finding out if It was put back together properly.
In the meantime I was wondering if it is possible to share my Macbook Pro's Wifi (always full signal in my house) directly to my iPhone either using USB cable or through bluetooth. It's not been too much of a problem but it would be nice to use my iPhone in bedroom using the Macbooks good signal.
Note: The replacement front screen on iPhone has a small gap >1mm between the screen and centre metal casing on the left side just above the Silent/Loud Switch, which can be noticed by light leaking through the gap. The metal casing also still has a small dent between the volume down buttons and silent/loud switch, again nothing drastic 1mm maximum

Here is the start of the setup:
Click on the Wi-Fi Options button and provide the needed info:
Click on the OK button. Now check the Internet Sharing box to turn it all on. If the port box you checked is no longer checked, then uncheck Internet Sharing, check the port box again, then check the Internet Sharing box again.

Actual accounts & contacts need to be route around 2000 & 3000 but we have observed lakhs of records routing into local DB.
We have verified all the Assignment Rules, Views.
We ran docking object visibility rules and we have observed that some other accounts are routing due to Organization rule passing. (these records are not supposed to route).

let me know what would be the reason that 1st million takes only 15 minuts and the time goes on increasing gradually with the increase of dataYes that's a little strange. I only can guess:
1. You are in archivelog mode and the Archiver is not able to archive the redo logs fast enough
2. You don't use Direct Load and DBWR ist not able to write the direty block to disk fast enough. You could create more DBWR processes in that case.
3. Make a snapshot of v$system_event:
create table begin as select * from v$system_event;After the import run
create table end as select * from v$system_event;Now compare the values:
select * from begin order by TIME_WAITED_MICRO descwith the values given you by
select * from end order by TIME_WAITED_MICRO descSo you can look where your DB spent so much time waiting for something.
Alternativly, you could start a 10046 trace on the loading session and use tkprof.

I have an old iphone 2g/3g. However I dont use it as a phone but as an ipod. Since its the oldest version, I tried updating it to the newest version that all the iphones seem to have. I tried to restore it but now it's stuck on the connect to itunes menu. An error appeared with the error #: 1015. What should I do. Getting a new one is not the answer Im looking for. What should I do?

The 3G stops at iOS 4.2.1 does not support abve that level .
Nothing you can do

Since being in Mexico both my iPad and iPhone seem to be using up their batteries more quickly. Any thoughts on why that might be?

Did they drink the water?
Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad or another 10W/12W Apple charger and, one at a time, charge both units overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone (5W) charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

Is Apple working on a fix for ios6 that will stop it from using huge data in the iphone 4s?

When I upgraded my iPhone 4s to ios6, it started using huge amounts of data. My provider refuses to reimburse me. Today they told me that Apple has acknowledged the problem and has fixed it in ois6.3. However, ois6.3 is unavailable for the 4s, and my provider tells me that Apple has not acknowledged that the problem exists in the 4s. They referred me to Apple. However, because the phone is off warranty, I will have to pay $35 + tax to talk to an Apple rep--and surely Apple knows the problem extends to the 4s, because it is widely discussed on-line. I have not seen any reference to whether Apple is working on a fix for the 4s. Does anyone know? I can't afford this much longer and am going to have pay a lot of money to switch phones. And when I switch phones, it won't be an Apple, which will also make me sad--but it is ridiculous for them to produce a problem that is costing so much money and then not to acknowledge it exists. I am hoping that having addressed it in the 5, they will now turn to the 4s. Does anyone know?

Yeah, the 6.0.2 update was rolled out to deal with that issue amongs others. But getting it out for the older models was either not high priority or more complex than they anticipated. So the wait continues till it shows up on the update channel.
Pestering Apple Support might not get it done quicker, but at least will offer some sort of vicarious revenge and relief.

I cant get ECWID to work on my mobile devices, it only seems to use the desktop site rather that the Tablet or iPhone

I cant get ECWID to work on my mobile devices, it only seems to use the desktop site rather that the Tablet or iPhone? Can anyone help me?

Hi Jim,
We’ll be glad to help you.
Ecwid supports responsive layout, which means that the store pages can adapt to the visitor's screen width on the fly and keep the layout clean and nice. Your products and categories lists will be fit for any window's size, as Ecwid will calculate the most suitable number of products or categories in row automatically. In other words, Ecwid looks great on any mobile devices. You can check how your Ecwid store may look on smartphones and tablets, if you see your Starter Site (what it is).
However, if you want Ecwid reveals itself in all its glory, you should embed your Ecwid store into website, which also support responsive layout, because if the site doesn’t adapt to size screen, Ecwid is not able to determine how it should be changed since it’s just a part of the site.
We’ve checked your site and found that you used Adobe Muse for building your site. Using Adobe Muse, you can create alternate site layouts for web content to be displayed on desktop, smartphones, and tablets. Nonetheless, your site has a layout for desktops only, that’s why it looks the same on all devices. You can learn how to create those alternate layouts in Adobe Muse, by reading “Creating a Website for Mobile Devices” article.
I hope this helps! But if there are any questions, don’t hesitate to reach us out on Ecwid forums.
