My 4GB USB drive is only showing 217.2MB available, any ideas how to fix this?
My 4GB USB drive is showing only 217.2MB available but there isn't anything displayed in the Finder window that I can delete. Any ideas?
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

For the past week I have been getting emails as per below:
You are currently using 14.5 GB of your total 15 GB of iCloud storage, which means that your iCloud storage is almost full. When your storage is full, device backups to iCloud will stop and apps will no longer be able to save documents to iCloud.

To free up storage in your account:
Step 1:
On your iOS device, go to Settings and tap iCloud.
Step 2:
Tap Storage & Backup.
Step 3:
Tap Manage Storage and choose items that you’d like to delete or stop backing up.

My Mac, my iPhone and iPad are all telling me that I am only using 7.2GB of my 15GB storage limit. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks
PeteI received this email today and have no idea why.
Dear Daniel Freeman,
You have now exceeded your iCloud storage, including an additional amount provided to allow you to continue receiving email. As a result, you will not be able to send or receive new email messages with your iCloud email address until you free up storage space or buy more.
To free up storage in your account:
Step 1:
On your iOS device, go to Settings and tap iCloud.
Step 2:
Tap Storage & Backup.
Step 3:
Tap Manage Storage and choose items you’d like to delete or stop backing up.

I have not changed anything with any of my iOS devices (iPhone 4s, iPad2) or my Macbook Pro. I have 3.21GB out of 5GB of storage space free so I dont understand why this has happened.

since i updated my Apple ID with correct email address I can now only send imessages to email addresses and not iphone numbers - any idea how to fix this problem ?
You might want to try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click See All Products and Services>iTunes>iTunes Store>Passwords & Security Questions>Lost or Forgotten Apple ID password. They should be able to explain what's going on and help you reset the password for the old ID if necessary. The call should be free.

That happened to my brother earlier. He went into Facebooand then into another app and the same thing happened. he ended up having to restore it. Mine stayed with the Apple logo for a bit but its back to normal after pressing the buttons a million times. I hope you get your problem sorted. Goodluck!

When i am downloading a movie, it stops at 4gb. Any ideas how to fix this?
I am trying to download a HD movie and it keeps stopping at 4gb. Any ideas why or how to fix?
FAT32 file size is limited to 4GB.
You will need to reformat your external drive.
If you use it only with your Mac (no Windows), you should use HFS+.
Make a backup of the entire external (you'll need another external).
Reformat it using Disk Utility.
Then copy the files back to the new formatted drive. -
My iMac will start beeping like a stuck key. It started this after updating to mountain lion. and after I updated memory to 20 gigs (2x 8gigs, 2x 2gigs)
I have a seagate thunderbolt back up drive attached.
The beeping starts at random times even when the computer ( and me too) are sleeping.
Help!!!

I can't figure out what is talking up space on the memory.
Make sure all of the files actually are deleted from the hard disk and that the trash is emptied.

I installed iOS 6.1 to my iPhone 4s and the next day, the battery drained in about 6 hours, where it used to last all day or longer. I also noticed today that it is running very hot. I disabled location services to see if that would help but it doesn't seem to be making a huge difference. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!!
I have the same problem since updating to 6.1.1. The battery has never been great but since the update it is ridiculous. It drains by 40% in an hour with no use at all and all background programmes closed.
Please fix this! -

help ... after dowloading OS5 my new iPad 2 will not sync with my PC. the message is "USB not recognised" ... any ideas how to fix this?
I had same problem. By chance, I found a "work-around".
On a whim, I tried plugging the USB cable direct into the PC (its an old 'tower' model that sits under the desk) instead of into the port on the monitor. The PC suddenly recognised the iPad.
Why this makes any difference is a total mystery. But worth trying to see if it helps in your case.
