Questions on getting "other" data off ipad

I have been reading the threads, but before I do a full restore I have a few questions.
I have about 2GB of "other" space on my 8GB ipad 2 (OS 7 withou the latest patch). I need to get rid of it because I can't load the new OS and I have the ipad down to bare bones.
Anyway, I was reading that "other" could be corrupted data or stuff that apps are using. I got rid of my photos. All I have is apps, and music plus the files I store in pages.
1. How can I tell which apps are sucking up space?
2. If I do a restore, will the corrupted data just come back from my MBP onto my ipad? I am backing up to the MBP and also syncing everything in icloud. This is where my brain gets lost because I don't understand where the bad data is being stored.
Any thoughts or hints would be appreciated before I start doing neurosurgery.
Thanks in advance!

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
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 5/6/7, 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.

  • I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive.  Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth)  around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

  • Trying to get old data off a g4 tower

    Hi- I am trying to get old data off a g4 tower using macbook and firewire but I am not succeeding. My old monitor doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I also have a Gdrive if that might work.

    Here's another method.
    Buy one of these hard drive adapters.

    Remove the hard drive from the G4. Using the above adapter, connect the drive to your MacBook. Copy the files you want.

  • TC 500GB died today - how do I get my data off of it?

    My TC has been working great until today when the power died.  Tried unplugging/plugging it back in, but still dead.  Currently I have it unplugged and will wait a few hours before I plug it back in hoping life will flow back into it.
    If not, how do I get my data off of it?
    SN: 6F914B92UJ

    Either remove the hard disk.. there are plenty of sites about replacing the hard disk in the TC.. if you do it carefully,, heating the rubber foot really hot with hair dryer or hot air gun,, then you can simply peel it back and undo the 10 small Philips head screws.. get a USB to sata converter at local computer store.. a bare one is less than $20.. a decent box might be $40..
    Or repair the TC.. in the end that is cheap.. you can get it repaired or do it yourself if you have a few clues.. and then sell it on ebay once you recover your data and wipe the drive. The repair is cheaper than sale price.
    Just type in google Time Capsule repair.

  • XLR Get Other Data Function

    Hi all,
    Im wondering if I can use cell valeu data in the Where clause of the GetOtherData function.
    EG Get Invoice Key where Payment No = whatever is in cell D9.
    I keep getting syntax errors.
    I'm trying to report accross 2 modules - AR and Banking.
    I need to display Invoice data as well as related payment data.
    In report composer after making my AR selections, I try to drag and drop data from the Banking module to show payment data related to the Invoices.
    The data is not retrieved.
    I was wondering if this might be possible using the GetOtherData function in Advanced Report Builder.
    Can I show data related to whats in a certain cell in my report?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    John O'Brien

    Hello,
    In composer, you cannot use two modules together to get the information in each module.
    Get other Data function can get the value in a specific field in tables. Please check online help file, there is detailed example about it.
    the syntax in using Get Other Data is exactly same in SQL.

  • Get Other Data

    Hi All,
    I have a query and need to be used in XLReporter as Get Other Data:
    Select T0.DocNum, case (Select Top 1 T1.basetype from PCH1 T1 Where T0.DocEntry=T1.DocEntry) when 20 then (Select Top 1 T3.BaseRef from PCH1 T1 LEFT JOIN OPDN T2 ON T1.BaseRef=T2.DocNum INNER JOIN PDN1 T3 ON T2.DocEntry=T3.DocEntry Where T0.DocEntry=T1.DocEntry) else (Select Top 1 T1.BaseRef from PCH1 T1 Where T1.BaseType=22 and T0.DocEntry=T1.DocEntry) end As 'PO No.'
    FROM OPCH T0 where t0.docentry in (Select Top 1 T4.DocEntry From PCH1 T4 LEFT JOIN OPDN T5 ON T4.BaseRef=T5.DocNum INNER JOIN PDN1 T6 ON T5.DocEntry=T6.DocEntry Where T0.DocEntry=T4.DocEntry and T4.BASETYPE=20 AND T6.BaseType=22 AND T6.BaseRef IS NOT NULL) OR t0.docentry in (Select Top 1 T7.DocEntry From PCH1 T7 Where T0.DocEntry=T7.DocEntry AND T7.BaseType=22 AND T7.BaseRef IS NOT NULL)
    The query running ok in SQL and query generator, but i have problem to translate it into the fields in Get Other Data function (field Table, Fields, Condition).
    Is there anyone who knows how i should separate the query in those 3 fields.
    Any ideas or suggestion will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    The Get Other Data function in XLR is rather limited and for one you can't have multiple tables with joins.
    Your query seems way too complicated for the Get Other Data function. What I would do to get past this problem is to create a view in SQL and then query the view with the Get Other Data function.
    Regards

  • Condition field in XL Reporter Get Other Data function

    I want to use the XL Reporter "Get Other Data" function to get data from a file not in the current Business Partner dimension  BPA.  Using the SalesPerson code SlpCode, I want to get the SalesPerson Name, SlpName. What is the value for the condition field to restrict the retrieval to just the one record that matches the SlpCode in the BPA dimension?  I've tried ocrd.SlpCode=oslp.SlpCode.  I've tried SlpCode=oslp.SlpCode. But I either get all the names in the Salesperson file or I get some type of syntax error.

    Jim,
    When you say I should be able to pass a parameter, do you mean while using the XLR "Get other data" function?  I thought that's what I was doing when I filled out the Get other data screen with the userid, password, then I specified the OSLP table, requesting SlpName in the Fields section, and then in Condition, I specified OCRD.SlpCode = OSLP.SlpCode.   When the report ran, I got a "#ixGetData error: The multi-part identifier "OCRD.SlpCode" could not be bound".   I tried substituting the BPA dimension qualifier, ie: BPA.SlpCode, but got the same error.
    If I removed the initial qualifier in the Condition field, ie: SlpCode = OCRD.SlpCode, when I ran the report I got ALL Salespersons names, not just the one that matched the SlpCode field on the current Business Partner line.

  • Help getting data off ipad

    Ok, I'm hoping someone can help me here. I"ve read tons on the forums but can't seem to find a solution.
    Here's what I'm working with:
    iPhone 4s v 5.0.1
    iPad 2 v 5.0.1
    MacBook Air v 10.6.8
    I use various email accounts - gmail is where I get most emails, exchange server which is where my contacts & calendar reside as well as a .me account that I don't use at all. I don't sync through itunes (never saw a need to since my email, contacts & calendar sync through exchange and gmail). I do try to run a backup every so often.
    All this has been working great, til the exchange server blew up and we all lost everything. Most people are also working off a desktop outlook so IT was able to recreate most of their stuff that way. I don't, as I either work off ipad, iphone or web mail access.
    Luckily, my ipad was in airplane mode at the time and is now the only place with a clean copy of my calendar and contacts. I did a backup of this, and the IT guy tried to extrapolate the data from that backup. Unfortunately, what got synced back to the exchange server was not a complete copy - many appointments are missing, contacts are incomplete - and I can't find any rhyme or reason to the missing data. I'm thinking that it has to do with what itunes does and does not backup, but not sure.
    So, is there any hope that I can get this data somehow? I am open to multiple solutions. I can move it to gmail, to the cloud, to entourage, to the server. The thing is, as soon as I turn it off airplane mode, it will sync to the server and wipe everything out so keep that in mind.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Try this. Connect your iPad to your MacBook. Launch Image Capture (in the Applications folder). It should recognize you iPad and hopefully you'll be able to transfer your photos too.

  • Can you get your data off of a broken iPhone 3gs?

    I dropped my iPhone 3gs and it broke apart. Took it to someone to fix it and it broke even worse. I was going to sell it to a company that would repair it and sell it. Before I do that I want to get all of my data off it...is there a way I can do this or am I just screwed?

    No, but unless the company you're selling it to has forensic methods of extracting the data, it's unlikely they can get at it either.  When they're done fixing it, there will be new parts and the phone will be wiped of data.
    If there is really sensitive data on the phone, and you're worried - best to take a sledge hammer to it, and call it a loss...

  • How do i get the date off the photo?

    On my iPad the photos look great (no date appears), but when I email them or upload them to Facebook they get a date stamped on them.  Is this a setting I can change?  I don't want the date printed on the image- it ruins the whole picture:

    What app are you using? I don't see the option to add a date in my photos app, so it's likely that it's a setting in whatever photo app you're using.

  • How can I get my data in Ipad that was been restored in Apple?

    I just downloaded the Itune in y laptop so that I can connect my data to my Ipad. Unfortunately after downloaded the Itune, I pressed "restore" which my ipad had been connected in my laptop. Then after that, all the data from my ipad been gone like just been formatted. why? please help me if i can still access my data been restored.

    The only way you can get that content back is if you have it backed up somewhere.  Have you not backed up before, either in iTunes, or in iCloud?
    If you have you can restore from the backup, but otherwise, your content is gone now, sorry.
