Restore did not fix "other" storage problem
The "Other" category is taking up 5.96GB of my 16GB and I can't figure out how to free some of that space.
I deleted/disabled the album artwork and restored my iTouch but nothing happened - actually the "Other" got larger when I restored instead of getting smaller. I only have a handful of apps so I'm not sure what is occurring.
Here is the break down:
Audio 7.14GB
Photos 815.6MB
Apps 77.9MB
Other 5.96GB
Is there anything else I can do? It is taking up almost half of my space!
I am using a Macbook and the iPod software is 3.1.2
Thanks.
Thank you!
When I restored it again from new it worked. I added the files back and focused on apps first, then music, etc. It seems to have worked. I'm not sure what happened as I don't think the files are any different.
I don't use my calendar on my computer - I would love too but if I sync it now it will erase all of my iTouch calendar events, right. I am going to look into how to move my calendar from my iTouch to my mac and then I should be able to sync. I didn't realize I could do this!
Thanks again!

I have upgrade my phone to iOS7 and my company recently upgraded to Exchange 2010. My emails are not synching to my inbox. I can only see my Sent items. I have already deleted the account 3 times but this did not fix the inbox problem.
You need to have a different Apple ID for each of the other devices.

IPod Restore did not fix issue...can't update iPod
Apologies for posting this as a "reply" earlier in the night...I'm new to this online help forum thingy. It truly belongs here as a "question," so here goes:
I have used my iPod without issue for over a year. Suddenly, I have encountered some freakish problems. The iPod connects to iTunes, but nothing happens after that (no transfer of songs...just freezes in "Do Not Disconnect" mode). I have taken the following steps today:
1) Tried resetting iPod. No dice.
2) Downloaded new 2006-03-23 updater.
3) Downloaded new v6.04 iTunes.
4) Uninstalled iTunes v6.03 and restarted PC, as prompted.
5) Installed new 2006-03-23 updater and restarted PC, as prompted.
6) Installed iTunes v6.04 and restarted PC, as prompted.
7) Shut down iTunes.
8) Ran Updater...performed "Restore." (The "Update" button was greyed out and has been ever since I installed the new Updater 2006-03-23).
9) Connected to iTunes...began updating songs, left PC to let it download the 3000+ songs while I ate dinner, etc. Left during the transfer of song #13 of 3000+.
10) Came back to an error message that I don't recall.
11) Closed iTunes, re-ran Updater.
12) Tried iTunes again...iPod showed up, but was given the error message "The iPod could not be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to."
13) Disconnected and reconnected; tried all other firewire ports. No dice. Firewire card in PC is functional.
14) Received this error message: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Use the iPod Software Updater application to restore the iPod to factory settings."
15) Closed iTunes and re-ran Updater. Again.
16) Opened iTunes. No dice. Again. This time, it didn't even prompt me to customize the name of my iPod...it just connected to iTunes and sat there with the default name "IPOD." Nothing happened for several minutes, so I ejected the iPod via iTunes.
17) Tried Disk Mode. Nothing.
On the bright side, the iPod is now fully charged...it seems the power aspect is working and there is some data transfer capability. Nothing else is wrong with the PC...I have encountered no other usability issues...I run AdAware, Spybot, and have the full McAfee Suite (all updated with the latest detection/definition files). Running Win XP Pro and using U2 Spec. Ed. iPod.
I quit for the night, but tomorrow is a new day. Help!!!Thanks...forgot about the anti-virus/firewall angle. That was helpful because it allowed me to rule out the possibility of those security programs interfering with any Apple program components.
Uninstalled iTunes and the iPod Updater...reinstalled with firewall and antivirus disabled. Restored iPod with firewall and antivirus disabled. Then tried syncing the iPod with iTunes...still had issues.
Restored again in disk mode with antivirus and firewall disabled (modem off the whole time, of course). The update quit on song #1777 out of 3600+. Still not working properly. Aaaargggh!!! I'm thinking a trip to the Genius Bar is in order if I can't get a resolution here...problem is, the Apple store is a half hour away. Any other thoughts? -
Recently my 5th generation iPod Touch stopped keeping time. As long as the screen stays on, it will stay accurate, but once it "sleeps" the time reverts to the last accurate time it had. If I go to Settings>General>Date&Time> and turn Set Automatically off and on, it will catch up, but just for as long as the screen stays on. Not too friendly for battery life that way. Also, maybe unrelated, the Bluetooth function will not turn on. When I try to turn it on, I just get a constant spinning wheel.
I have tried everything from a simple restart to a full device wipe back to factory default. No change. I took it in to the Genius bar this afternoon. They tried a diagnostic and another wipe. Then they said they didn't know and I could pay $150 to replace it. Not a bad deal, but not what I wanted to hear.
Any ideas?All I can suggest is
Try DFU mode and then restore again to factory settings/new iPod

Recent Pandora update did NOT fix a glaring problem
The problem being when you lock your Touch (screen blanked) while playing Pandora, you'll hear about 5-10 audio dropouts per minute. The only solution for the time being is to keep the screen active (I dim mine way down to minimum). Pandora IS aware of the problem--I trust they will get us another update with that issue fixed.
You are mixing EFI and SMC and just... ranting!
Keep the temperature down, and fan speed up, to keep things running cool.

Will give you some idea of what goes on under the hood.
People often recommend or practice "repair permissions" when what they need is to weed the clutter in their cache folder, or 'take out the trash' or something else. Changing the oil isn't going to help if you need brake fluid (even though its usually a good part of regular maintenance).
Applying EFI update on some systems did 'break' or alter USB behavior though, so there was a lot of changes - had I known more, I might have waited even longer before applying.
luckily both systems seem to be working... knock on wood...

ITunes 7.0.1. did not fix play back problem through AirTunes
The sound quality in Airtunes is every bit as bad under the update (7.01) as it had been before (7.0). I cannot listen to my music, the static is so annoying. I hope they get it right soon.
IBookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)Did you check you have IPV6 on in the network interface settings ?
You have to have it on or else AirTunes won't work.
I think it has to do with the iTunes Airtunes internal streaming server which uses IPV6 now, which is a good thing , network wise. But Apple didn't document it correctly , IMO.
I sure can vouch for the same airtunes quality using 7.01.
I have a pretty expensive audiophile setting connected to my airport express optical out , and the quality has suffered nothing.
This sure is strange. -
2.2 did not fix Develop sliders problem. Idiots.
You still have to click the mouse wheel down before rolling it in order to move the sliders in Develop, which is very slow and aggravating. I just don't understand why they couldn't put that back to the way it was in 1.x. We know that they were aware of our disappointment.
Of course not, but it's more reflective of said poster than anything.

Billed for Premium Tech Support That Did Not Fix the Problem
i too was scammed last night by a premiun tech support rep...he assured me that the problem i was having with my pc
could be repaired and pursuaded me to purchase the 10 month plan for $14.00 month also said if i canceled prior to the 10 mos i would be charged a $59.99 fee.......I told him I would sign up if he could assure me the pc problem would be resolved.
He also assusred me that if it could not be resolved to ask to be transfered to the billing department to cancel the the plan I confirmed this with him at least 3 times and he assured me I would not have to pay and I could cancel with no monetary obligation if the problem on my pc could not be resolved....well it was not and my computer was left in worse condition than when the premium support tech began working on it...the support tech worked on my computer for 3 and 1/2 hoursI was on the phone with him until 3:30 am....he apologized and said he did not expect the outcome of what happened to my computer. well needless to say when i called billing i was told I was liable for the $59.00 early cancelation fee it did not matter that the tech did not repair the problem or that he left my computer in worse condition than when he began working on it.........so technically what they are saying is that I have to pay for them creating problems on my pc that did not exist before I called them I The sales rep I spoke to was "scott : he said he was in massachusetts..I spoke with Eric in BIlling and he said he would note on my account what I had told him and asked me to call after the charge appears on my phone bill to see if i could have it removed...i also called billing again today and spoke with another billing rep and she said she also would note my problem on my account and that hopefully the $59.00 fee would be removed..it is very disppointing to know that Verizon Hires people that lie to consumers.....all of their employee conversations to customers need to be recorded and monitored. I received a recorded message from verizon this am asking if i was satisfied with the service i received from tech suppoort with #1 being the least satisfed which of course described my experience with them. If My tele phone bill does not reflect the cancellation of the $59.00charge I will definitly pursue this matter further....I was also billed on July 15, 2014 for tech support that did not fix my computer problem.
I was billed $99.99 to my credit card to a tech in the country of India.
I tried to get my money back but the number I was referred to would not answer.
I immediately went to my bank which took all of the info and changed my credit card number.
The bank also did their own investigation and said it seemed to be a scam. My money was redeposited into my account within 36 hours - not because of anything Verizon did, but my BANK!! I was so grateful.
Such service from Verizon's tech department is unethical and inexcusable.
Verizon customers deserve better tech service than this. "Ma Bell" would turn over in her grave if she knew how far down the service of the original phone company has gone. It's a disgrace!! A SCAM perpetuated and sanctioned by Verizon.
I complained to the Verizon Customer Correspondance Claim Dept. Do you think they will straighten this mess out? I doubt it - I am a retiree with an excellent payment record.
They don't care. This hurts the American economy. -
Charged for 2 FREE service calls/costing $70 each and they DID NOT fix the problem.
My service was interupted DAILY between 2:45pm - 6pm and sometimes 7pm. I contacted someone in the chat room and explained, they said they would send someone out and there would be NO CHARGE...I made sure and they said, Rest assured that there will be no charge" They did send someone out, around 11am, and said, hey, it's a gold signal splitter, I'll replace it with this new one. Well, they did. A few minute job. Well, 2:45pm rolled around and guess what? SIGNAL LOSS on tv and cable...till about 6pm. Well, next day i contacted them, and same scenario. They sent someone out-around 12pm, and said, oh the coaxial connecters are a "little loose". Well, he tightened them...a few minute "fix". Well, 2:45pm rolls around and AGAIN SIGNAL LOSS, no internet and NO TV till 6:30pm. Well, I've had enough so I cancelled service..Now I check my bill and 2 service calls for $70 each plus $15 tax totalling $155. I talked to someone in the chat room and told them this scenario. Well, they said they can waive 1 of the service call, but since my equipment is owned by me and not rented, I have to pay and that in their notes, it never said that I would get a free service call. The problem is that it NEVER was fixed and the problem had nothing to do with the signal splitter or connections, but something in the neighborhood, in which I saw 2 Xfinity service trucks on my street when I came home. So I am out $85 for something they did not fix-apparently something going on connectionwise in the neighborhood. ALSO WATCH OUT FOR CHAT ROOM REPS THAT SAY IT WILL BE A FREE SERVICE CALL. THEY LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody know how I can contact the CEO of Xfinity?I was also billed on July 15, 2014 for tech support that did not fix my computer problem.

Verizon ellipsys update did not fix the app memory problem!
The Verizon update for the ellipsys did not fix the original issue with the storage of apps on the device. The update gave you the capability to move apps to your tablet space; but, the device's pre installed apps cannot be moved. Those apps take up roughly 500mb of the allotted 1gb of space.
This tablet was meant for my parents to use and they can't be sitting here umistalling and disabling preinstalled apps just to use there tablet.
Please include in the next update a reallocation of memory for more app storage space. I have already moved all available apps over to the tablet space: I have 4 gigs open on their tablet and only 200mb for apps? Crazy sauce...I called Verizon 2nd level tech support and they assured me there is NO ED06 update's said they haven't even finished rolling out ED05 yet. I think they just told you that to get you off the phone. I also have a Fascinate and have had problems and can't get them to replace my phone with a different device. I want the Droid Charge since it is the only other one that has the AMOLED screen that I originally chose the Fascinate for . They had a program that ended on July 28th the day that ED05 rolled out. They offered the Droidx, the Incredible 2, and the Droid Charge to replace the Fascinates that were having trouble. I had called to report my issues during this replacement program but was not told that it was going on and now they won't give me the Droid Charge because it has expired. I think since there are STILL issues-they need to bring this program back and allow us to get a different phone. I have been a customer of Verizon for 10 years and have 7 lines so I am REALLY disappointed that they can't work with me (or other customers ) especially since it is not something we did to the phone. It is a problem with either Verizon or Samsung. I don't know where to go from here but maybe if they hear enough from others that didn't have any success with ED05 they will start to replace them. I will probably go to a higher level to voice my concern. Let me know if anyone has any success getting a new device especially the Droid Charge.

My IPhone 4s is freezing up and the wifi will not work. This happened after the update. I have tried to restore it and that did not fix it. Any suggestions?
Most of your purchases content can be downloaded again via the Purchased tabs in each of the store. I realize that this will be a problem for the iTunes Store on the iPad, but that has nothing to do with apps, since apps are in the App Store.
If you backed up synced with iTunes before you restored the iPad, your content should be in iTunes on your Mac and you should be able to sync it back again. -
After the last update iTunes no longer works... "This application failed to start because MSVCF80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" I tried and it did not fix the problem?

I have recently installed VLC media player (64bit), played a movie file on a DVD+RW for 30 seconds, then decided to stop the movie. I poped the DVD out, and a minute later I reinserted the same DVD, it was ejected after 10 second. Now when ever I insert the DVD in my MBP it gets ejected. It reads my CDs but does not read my DVD. Uninstalling VLC did not fix it. I am not even sure at this if VLC caused the problem. What do I do?
Have you rebooted since uninstalling VLC?

Regards.iPhone warranty is not international. You will have to return your

will not accept international shipments for repair nor will Apple
