"Other" data. This has gone too far.

I have a 1g iPod Touch, and it seems that nearly every other day I have to do a restore because of the "other" data growing out of control. The device is not jailbroken and is on the latest firmware that there is for the 1g (3.1.3). I want a fix for this that does not include me restoring the device every 2 or 3 days. What say you apple? Or is this of your design to force users to buy a newer device?

You are not addressing Apple here at all.
We are all ipod touch users like you.
Have you tried restoring as new?
What do you consider "out of control"? It is normal to have 200 - 800 mb of other.

I have the iPhone 4, recently installed ios6 now my phone constantly turns itself off, keeps freezing and then 2 or 3 times in the space of 24hrs it has to be restored to factory settings. This has gone on for over a week.

I have the iPhone 4, recently installed ios6 now my phone constantly turns itself off, keeps freezing and then 2 or 3 times in the space of 24hrs it has to be restored to factory settings. This has gone on for over a week.

If all basic troubleshooting has been tried and a restore as new does not resolve, take it to Apple for evalation and possible replacement.

Where do you go when you've gone too far?

All,
I've posted question to this forum about a situation I have had with an external firewire drive and iTunes store ("Misleading error -34 on TV show downloads"). So far there have been nearly 30 hits on viewing it, but no one has been able to offer any suggestions. I have also posted several emails to iTunes technical support, and the responses have only been to point to articles that have not been able to provide anything new for me to try. It's now been over 48 hours since the last receipt from technical support on an email I sent to them. I am not trying to flame anyone, and have tried to stay respectful in my posts, but my feeling is they may not have anything left to offer me.
I fully understand that I am probably operating in a non-standard setup, but it does seem to work except for this one incorrect error iTunes store returns when I purchase something. The 800 support number I have been pointed to says its the Apple Care line, which doesn't seem appropriate to my situation, but it's the only avenue I have not tried. Is that the next step, or are there any suggestions on next steps? (And yes, I have googled this problem several times.
Thanks in advance for any help

Trying to search on Google, or to access a search result, often crashes my Firefox. This has gone on for months. When will you fix it?

The report tab says my OS is Windows NT, but it's actually XP Home. (Yes, that's how old my computer is -- and that's why I'm looking for a solution other than just trying to see how updated a version of Firefox the computer can handle.)
The problem doesn't happen every time I try to search Google (or every time I succeed in getting to a page of search results and try accessing one of them). But it happens quite a lot, and often multiple times in succession. And when I try to use Crash Reporter to tell you, I get one of two responses:
(1) the standard autobot-reply suggesting an upgrade and this path; or, more often,
(2) nothing.
I don't want to abandon you -- and it would be hard to replace the computer at the moment. So what (to coin a phrase) can Mozilla do for me?
[UPDATE: The troubleshooter program won't install -- says it's not compatible with my old version of Firefox (3.6.20, says the About option in the Help menu). And the "show details" link at the bottom of this page won't reveal your "educated guesses about [my] current browser and operating system", so I can't do more to correct them -- sorry.]

Hmm . . . I think maybe the CPU is okay, but I would appreciate any time and effort you folks could spare to confirm my work.
Wikipedia lists a "3300+" model twice in its article on Sempron processors. One is a "Socket A (Socket 462)" model named Barton and with a listed 130ns speed. The other is a "Socket 754" model named Palermo with a listed 90ns speed. The latter sounded familiar, but my left hand has worn off anything readable from the sticker next to the "mouse area" so I couldn't confirm it that way.
Checking the properties of the CPU (through my hardware configuration) revealed an interesting ID string which suggested my CPU was "family 15 model 44". And re-searching for that (via Yahoo, since I couldn't risk another Google crash) brought me to a late-2009 AMD Processors forum entry where some other expert answered a question by identifying that family and model as "AMD Sempron64 socket 754, e.g Sempron 2600+, Sempron 2800+, including all latest core stepping versions of desktop model Semprons, socket 754."
If that's correct, and I've followed along the road properly, then my CPU is also in that family, and in that socket -- which would mean it '''was''' one of the processors built to work with SSE2. And that, in turn, would mean it should be able to run the v21 of Firefox you mention -- right?
I don't know how much slower or faster v21 may be -- and I won't want to dump even the Mozilla-abandoned v3.6.20 until I see what if any side-effects there may be. But maybe there's an end in sight.
(If you have any hints for me on this score, I would appreciate them. Likewise if you have any idea why it took months of Reporting Crashes before I got any response at all, even from the autobot. But most of all, I would greatly appreciate your help in getting over what may be the final obstacle to finding out if it's possible for me and my old PC to run v21 . . . and in finding out what choices I have if that '''''doesn't''''' work.)

HT201361 How do I take a screenshot of a long window that has content too far off the page to see?

I know about standard tools for capturing screenshots of:
     • whole screen
     • a given window
     • a given selected area drawn with the mouse
But oftentimes I have a window that has content outside the visible area - where I'd have to scroll up or down to see it all, and cannot see it all at one time. I usually try to shrink the magnification to get it all in my visible area, but this often doesn't work, and degrades resolution.
I'd really like a tool that captures the whole contents of a long window. There's got to be a way. How?
Thanks. - Josh

I recently tried to purchase some music to put on my mom's new ipod that she just recieved for mother's day and 2 of the songs won't play. I tried to delete a song and buy it again figuring it was 2 dollars and my mom is worth it but now you've stolen 3 dollars because it still didn't work.... 2 i am ok with, but 3 is pushing it. please fix this.
the songs were Love of my Life by Jim Brickman and Michael W. Smith and Have you ever been in love by celine dion. And yes to answer your question in advance i promise they were for my mom and i'm not just saying that to avoid looking like i listen to celine dion
Thanks

We're just your fellow users here and cannot help with confirmed bad tracks. You need to contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain any issues with defective tracks to them.
Some things to check before you contact them, though;
- see if the tracks will play in iTunes (making sure your iTunes version is current). If it won't, then the tracks are probably defective.
- if the just wouldn't transfer to the iPod and you didn't try playing them in iTunes first, try than and then see if they'll transfer.
- if the tracks will transfer to the iPod but not play, make sure the iPod has the latest version of the software for it. You may want to try restoring the iPod (warning: restoring the iPod will erase all content currently on it), then transferring the tracks and see if they'll play.

Firefotly and starts slowly. When I switch to Safari all the windows open right away. This is a brand new Macbook so it's not the computer. What's going on? This has gone on for days and I'm ready to opt out.

Firefox opens to a blank page. Then it is very slow to open any connections and sometimes just goes dead.
This is not allowing me to edit the question....grrrrrrr

Take it back, it's defective , you have a 1 year warranty and you have 3 months of free support, up to 3 years if you bough AppleCare.

I have tried repeatedly to download the CC update and keep getting "contact customer support" message- this has gone on for over a week.

I cannot get the CC update to install- it has stopped midway for over a week and says contact customer support. I don't have problems with anything else downloading. Any ideas?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Google search checkbox for New Zealand has gone missing off later Firefoxes, we are losing sales due to this.

Earlier versions of Firefox had option boxes under the Search bar. The options were: Either a global search, or Search New Zealand (in my case).
This has gone, and businesses like mine in NZ are losing customers.
Is there some way that people can be reminded to search for products in their own countries before searching globally?
Thanks

Hi Frederic
Thanks for your response
I am not sure what is meant by regenerating the field group in this case
I added the entries for my view in the field group and generated the layout of the field group (If this is what you mean)
The field is working fine. I am able to save values to the field and able to see values saved in GUI.
I haven't linked search help of the field in PCUI
I am not sure how to go about it.
I used the data element in the structure for the field.
The data element has Domain entry in <b>Entry Help/Check</b> of the structure
If i check the Domain Value checkbox in my field group then the domain values should be available in dropdown if the field is dropdown
However i am not able to see the possible values of the field (It is present in SAP GUI)
Does something else needs to be done in this case
TIA
Asad

Oh, I forgot to add that I've also tried repairing permissions.

I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.

My phone doesn't have any cellular phone functions...but it CAN send text messages and access data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, the last two have this problem and the first stopped working all together. I've had new sim cards put in, ive done hard resets on the phone, i've rebooted the phone, done battery pulls, and tech support has reset the signal to my phone. Nothing has worked. (I just "upgraded" <- lol.... and my old phone IS turned off.)

Im in 79707. So to recap my whole case: I upgraded my device using the verizon wireless website. I received my phone and switched my old SIM card from my Droid Razr Maxx HD into the new Galaxy S5. Everything worked fine until the next morning (May 31st) when I woke up and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took the phone to the local Verizon store and they were also unable to turn it on. They issued me a new Galaxy S5 (referred to as phone 2) and switched my SIM card into that one.
With PHONE 2 i was able to make calls and receive calls, along with text and data for approximately four hours. After that, i was unable to use the phone function of the device, but text and data were still functioning. I took PHONE 2 back to the Verizon store where they attempted to hard reset the phone twice, they also installed two new SIM cards at the store. After this they would get the same error, which is the phone just reading "Dialing..." after attempting to make a call. The Verizon associate declared the phone "DOA" and issued me another Galaxy S5 (referred to as PHONE 3).
PHONE 3 worked well, with phone text and data featured intact from when I received it on the after noon of the 31st until approximately 2:30PM on June 1st. I contacted Verizon Tech Support via Gmail phone to attempt the correct the problem. They reset the connection, had me do a battery pull, had me close the "phone" application, and erase the data and catche, then restart the phone. All of which had no effect. My phone is still able to receive texts and use data (even with wifi off) it simply cannot make or take phone calls. all it says is "dialing..." when I attempt to make a call. When other phones call my device it rings once on their end and directs them to voicemail, PHONE 3 does not ring on my end.
I have made sure my old phone is completely powered down.

"Other" data. This has gone too far.
