Iphone auto clear cache of apps?

Does iphone auto clear the cache of the apps?
i notice my FB apps' memory usage is increasing.
Thank you

At this point, for months I have been contacting app developers and Apple requesting the ability to clear an app's cache. I have only 1 app that I use that supports this feature - WallpapersHD.
All apps should support cache clearing. Especially apps that bloat like: Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Instant Video, TUAW, iMore, Twitter, TWC Max, Weather [Yahoo], Trailers [Apple], Bible [YouVersion]... Practically any and every app I have ever used that communicates with a remote server out there in the world somewhere.
iOS needs a cache clearing option to assist in managing space because deleting and re-installing apps is a terrible way to get that space back.

How to clear cache from apps

Is there a way to clear cache from apps to free up space on my iphone4 without having to delete the app then install it back?

Well read this http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/contnetw/ps792/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a008077186c.html#wp1056262
About the cache ability of CSS it's not that it stores the data locally it can help cache serves to be more efficent and make decisions on weather to send the reques to the cache server or send the request to the server itself with content.

Can't find "Tools" option when I click the FireFox button; trying to set FireFox to auto clear cache.

Your help info says to click on the FireFox button and "Tools" will appear as an option - then I am to go to Advanced, Privacy, Network, etc. - but "Tools" is nowhere to be found and I can't get anything that seems to let me set FireFox to clear cache automatically when I close the browser.

There is no "Tools" on the Firefox button menu. If you will reply with a link to the help page that says there is a "Tools" item on the Firefox button menu, we will get it corrected.
Either of these will work:
*Firefox button > Options > Options >Advanced > Network, Offline Storage section > Clear Now
*Press the ALT key or the F10 key, the Menu Bar '''''temporarily''''' appears, on the Menu Bar click Tools > Options >Advanced > Network, Offline Storage section > Clear Now

How to clear cache memory used by APP in iphone

How to clear memory consumed by apps in iphone? For example,google app size is 85mb!but now it takes 427mb! Now i want to clear them.Most of the APP are unneccessary consuming more memory.There should be someway to clear the cache memory of app.Please help!

Well, the app programmer does not consider the saved data "unnecessary" - it's there to perform some function of the app. The Google app, for example, saves your searches so it doesn't have to use data every time.
However, in the Google App itself tap the Settings icon, Privacy, Browsing. You can enable or disable "on-device history" and also clear the on-device history. That's what I meant when I said that some apps have settings to manage their cache.

Clearing Caches on iPhone 6

Just got it a week ago and really am impressed. Had an Android phone before & also own an Android tablet. I know on those devices I had to either clear caches manually or use an app or else the device would start slowing down after time. Is this required on an iPhone, or does the IOS handle this issue better than the Android system?
Thanks

I've never worried too much about clearing mine, but you can do it manually, at least for Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data.

Some music files do not show up in google play music app library. I did clear cache/data and restarted phone. The music is stored on the SD card. Most of the music in the library is in the same folder on the sd card. I can play the song from file mana

Most of the music in the library is in the same folder on the sd card. I can play the song from file manager, but it still is not in the music library in play music.

Cyndi6858, help is here! We'd be happy to help figure this out. Just to be sure though, the Droid Maxx should not have an SD card. Is this the Droid Razr Maxx? How did you add the music to the device? Are you able to see the files and folders located on the SD card or device when plugged in?

Clear Outlook 2010 Auto Complete Cache on many desktops

How do I clear the Outlook 2010 Auto Complete on the 1000 desktops in my organization using a script or group policy or any other method? The only method I can find is a manual one that does one desktop at a time and is not feasible for our 1000 desktops.

Hi,
Auto Complete Cache is the feature in Outlook, I recommend post this problem on
Outlook Forum.
By the way, I searched around and found the following thread.

YouTube Movies Problems? Clear Cache & Cookies

When you hit a link to a YouTube movie on the iPhone, it will open the movie in mobile Safari. Movies wouldn't play and I got a black blank movie on the page with an error message saying that I needed to download Flash. This error message seems to be inaccurate. I fixed the problem by clearing cache and cookies in Settings/Safari. I don't know why that fixed it but not having Flash had nothing to do with why the movie wouldn't play - at least that's the way it appears to me. The error response from mobile Safari is just wrong. Note that the same movie played OK on the mobile YouTube app, but email links to YouTube don't call the YouTube mobile app
Also, Apple's mobile YouTube app "Sharing" function is limited and doesn't tap into the real power of YouTube sharing (Facebook, Twitter etc.). It only allows you to share by sending the link in an email. This makes for a lot of extra work to share a video to friends. Perhaps they'll expand the sharing function in a future update to the app.
It would also be nice in the future if you could set preferences for hyperlinks to call an app other than Safari - i.e. a link containing "YouTube" would call the mobile YouTube app, rather than Safari
Like I said, I don't know why clearing cache or clearing cookies fixed the problem, but it seems like a problem that could be fixed. The desktop Safari doesn't do this

I just noticed that YouTube links in email do open up the YouTube app. Prior to clearing cache and cookie the links were opening up Safari.

Yes, under the Settings for the store, you can turn off the auto download for purchases, that way if you purchase an app on another device it will not automatically download on that device. You would need to do this on both your iPad and iPhone.

How to clear caches using lion

how to clear caches using lion

There are a number of 3rd-party apps that will delete caches, among other things. The free OnyX is a good one.
But, as a brody says, it's usually not a good idea to do that unless you're sure it's needed.

Run page with cleared cache after edit in application builder

When I am building a form and run into an error while submitting the page I get the following situation. After making some changes to the page I try to run it again but the values from the previous try are still in the cache. So I immediately run into the same error I had earlier. The only way around this, that I currently know of, is to select another page in the application builder and start this. Then I can navigate to the page I'm working on using the menu. I usually start pages from the menu with a cleared cache.
Is there an easier way to do this?
There are currently two "run" buttons in the application builder. There is the button that says "run" and there is the "traffic light". Maybe one of those can be used the run the page with a cleared cahche and the other one with the cache still intact.

Hi,
One of the parameters in the URL is for clearing cache:
f?p=App:Page:Session:Request:Debug:ClearCache:itemNames:itemValues:PrinterFriendly
so, you could just enter the page number into the 6th parameter to clear the cache for that page

Problems: iPhone, iTunes and the Music App

As the title suggests, iPhone, iTunes and the music app on the iPhone have all been causing me a great deal of frustration. I am experienceing a number of seamingly related problems:
1. After adding new music and syncing my phone with iTunes, iTunes seems to "choose" what songs it wants to sync even though I clearly have "Sync Entire Music Library" checked.
2. When all my music does sync on my phone, certain songs will be missing in the app or will only show up when searching for them using the search bar in the stock music app. Other times they will show up in the "Music" tab and not any of my playlists or under the "Albums" tab.
3. I have experienced a couple instances in which WHOLE ENTIRE ALBUMS are missing from my music app on the iPhone, but will still show up when searching for them.
4. One album will display split up into two inside the music app even though they are organized into one unit on iTunes.
I have erased and re-synced all music from my iPhone multiple times, which will fix the issue for a short period then reappear.
I have an AT&T iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1 and the latest version of iTunes 11.1.5 (5)
If someone can tell me whats going on or at least let me know if this is a common problem. If it is I really hope Apple knows about it and is fixing it.

Hello gman4354,
It sounds like your phone is not syncing correctly to your computer, and the Music app is not functioning correctly even after deleting and re syncing your music from the app. I recommend starting by turning off your Music syncing in iTunes by unchecking that box in the Music tab when you have the phone connected, and clicking apply.
Then close the Music app on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and sync the Music to your phone again to re test the issue:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Clear cache problem

Hi,
I'm using Apex 3.1 and I've created a branch on a page using the following url I found in the documentation:
f?p=6000:6003:&APP_SESSION.::NO:6003:MY_ITEM:1234
This should clear cache on page 6003 from app 6000, set MY_ITEM to 1234 and return to the same page.
Apex interpreted the link and put page 6003 in the clear cache box of the branch's properties. For now all sounds great, the only problem is, that it doesn't actually clear the cache. The url appears in the browser except for the page before the item setting, so it doesn't clear any page caches.
Is this a bug or is there an option I'm missing?
Thank you,
Marc

Marc,
Could you be a little more clear on what you are trying to do?
if you use the following url for example:
f?p=6000:6003:&APP_SESSION.::NO:6004,6014
this will take you to page 6003 in application 6000 and clear the cache for pages 6004 and 6014. if you are finding items with values populated, most likely that they are being set by some process after the cache has been cleared.
Also, how are you checking if the cache for the other pages have been cleared? Have you confirmed that you are not populating the items on these other pages as you are are navigating to that page?
Use the session link on the developer toolbar immediately after you make you original navigation to clear the cache to check the relevant pages - you should expect to see that they have been cleared in most cases (unless there is a process that is resetting the values)
Also, just to check/confirm - the syntax is page numbers as in 1,2,3 not P1,P2,P3
