How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
Cheers, Tom

Is it possible to save keynotes on a central place so that multople users on mac/ipad.iphon can always have the latest version and edit this ?
If you mean saving the project files; iCloud, Dropbox, Skydrive will do this.
If you mean the application, then definitely not possible. -
Calendar disappeared. not on mac,iPad,iPhone or iCloud!
Hi All,
First time poster!
Calendar disappeared. not on mac,iPad,iPhone or iCloud! All events past and present. Any ideas? Have time machine but can't work out how to get it back and with all the server farms and even the icloud 5gb accounts I am guessing no calendar back up anywhere?
Seriously Grrrr
Thanks
CarlThank you for the heads up!
I used the link as a guide but there is more detail required to make this work correctly...
Turn off internet.
Press alt, click go in finder and select library
Open time machine and choose date you want to restore.
restore calendar folder
restore com.apple.CalendarAgent
restore com.apple.iCal
open calendar
quit calendar
log out as user then log back in
open calendar
all calendars should be present
export the calendar you lost to ics file on desktop
switch on internet
import ics calendar file
check any duplicates
Job done. -
Oh my what a mess! I would really like to have one id and one password for all the products - MacBook Pro, iPad, iPod and iPhone. I am forever getting invalid id or invalid passwod message when I try to do something. The security questions are questions I never would have answered and I think the emails are going to my huspand's gmail account!
Can anyone help me sort this mess out?
This has been posted in the mac community as well!If you want to merge Apple ID's - you can't do that. For reasons unknown, Apple just doesn't allow it. Passwords are are different story. You should be able to reset your password for any other the ID's that you have.
Do you have multiple Apple ID's? And if this situation is that much of a mess, you might be better off contacting Apple in order to get it straightened out.
Here is a user tip that might be of some help.

Artwork Shows up on Mac, iPad, iPhone, but not Windows
My main iTunes library resides on my home Mac. I access the library via an iPad Air, iPhone 5S, and a Dell PC running on Windows 7 Enterprise.
All of the songs have album artwork. All of the artwork shows up on the Mac, the iPad, and the iPhone. Much of the artwork does not show up on the Windows machine. The Mac & Windows box are running the most up-to-date version of iTunes.
I have tried enabling and disabling iTunes Match on the Windows machine. I've also completely uninstalled iTunes and removed all associated files from APPDATA, then reinstalle iTunes. No joy.
Our organization has a policy that doesn't permit the Bonjour service to run automatically. I have to restart it every morning when I come in. It used to be that restarting the Bonjour service and restarting iTunes would cause most, but not all, of the artwork to appear. Now that trick no longer works.
Any suggestions? Thanks!Hi there Kenneth Kirksey,
I see that you are seeing some issues with the song and album artwork in iTunes Match. I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue, and it can be found below:
Songs or albums are missing artwork
If some songs or albums downloaded to an iOS device from your iCloud library are missing album artwork:
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download the latest version for free.
Launch iTunes on your computer.
From the iTunes menu, choose Advanced > Get Album Artwork.
Once iTunes has completed processing the album artwork, you'll need to update iTunes Match.
From the iTunes menu, choose Store > Update iTunes Match.
Once iTunes Match has finished updating, launch the Music app on your iOS device.
Locate the songs that are missing artwork, and delete them from your device by swiping left over a song.
After you've deleted the song, download the item again from your iCloud library by tapping on the download icon.

Is AirDrop between devices available ?Hello Jeremy,
How old is your iMac? It should be as long as your iMac is a 2012 model or later, then you should be able to share files by using AirDrop. Check out the article below for more information.

2 itunes accounts, 1 mac & 1 iphone- How to access all music from both accounts on each device?
We've been an apple family for years now; we have many songs & a lot of $$ spent between two accounts. I know I can't merge the accounts but would like to use the music, apps, etc. from both on my mac, ipad & iphone. Is this possible, if so, HOW??
If you've bought the apps but now cannot access the store due to relocating and having to set up a new account, you should be able to keep each account open and switch between them on your iPhone.
You will need a new e-mail address though.
On your iPhone go to Settings...Store...Logout and then log in with your other account.
Because you have already given a valid address and credit card from Aus, this will be fine and you will still be able to receive updates for thos apps, for free (on the iPhone you'll need to be logged in under your Aus account to see if there are any updates).
Once updated, just transfer purchases in iTunes to copy the updates to your PC/Mac
Your new address will work as normal and you will also receive updates for this account. -

My PC crashed. Before crash I had it an office Mac, an iPhone, an iPod and an iPad. That's 2 computers and 3 deivces. Or is it 5 authorized devices? Anyway, since the PC crash I bought an iMac and my office Mac was replaced by a MacBook pro. I moved my iTunes files from my office Mac to my MacBook. I moved my PC iTunes files to my iMac from my unaffected external hard drive.
I am now totally confused regarding what is authorized and what is not! Only three devices appear in my iTunes account. I "removed" the PC. Still I am told that I can't download MY apps to my new iMac because I have 5 authorized computers. Really? Actually I have NO authorized computers. Only one that has my apps still (my office Mac).
If I deauthorize all I know I can start fresh. That makes sense. What has be balking at the idea is the "one time per year" deauthorization! What is the point? Give me an accurate list allow me to deauthorization and authorize the devices I wish. It is MY account with MY purchases,
Advice please?Authorization ONLY applies to computers. NOT ipads/iphones.ipod/Apple tvs. ONLY computers.
Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers. -
