Schedule or reduce the amount of backups

is there a way to tell it not to backup every hour?

is there a way to tell it not to backup every hour?
Yes, and here are a few ways to do so ...
Method 1 - Manually
o Open Finder, and navigate to System/Library/LaunchDaemons
o Find com.apple.backup-auto.plist, and copy it to the Desktop (in case you want to return back to the default hourly backups)
o Open the plist file in TextEdit and find the StartInterval key. It has a default value of 3600. This value is in seconds.
o Change the value to your desired interval.
o Save the plist file.
Method 2 - Using Terminal
o Open a Terminal session
o Enter sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.backup-auto StartInterval -int 3600, and then, press <Enter> (Note: Change the value 3600 to the desired backup interval.)
Method 3 - Using third-party software
o There are several available, here's one example: TimeMachineScheduler

How can I reduce the amount of storage my iPhone uses for messages?

Is there any way to reduce the amount of storage space my iPhone uses for Messages? Can I limit the storage to the last year or some other limit (specific date, specific amount of storage etc.)?
Thank you

I'm not sure there is a solution to your question, other than to not keep so many photos on your devices. If you delete a photo from photo stream, it will delete it from all your devices. To keep them, first save them to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. However, given the number of photos you have, a much more practical solution would be to transfer them to your computer using an app like PhotoSync, which will select them all at once and transfer them over wifi.
I'm not sure why you're seeing such a discrepancy in the amount of space taken up by your photos. It's possible that something is corrupt given the large number of photos on your device.

Reducing the amount of code in htm pages :-)

Hi, I recently had to reduce the amount of abap business logic in a view.
The view was in a large multifunctional bsp that someone else had written, and to which I needed to add some code.
That view consisted of many htm includes, each include having an enormous amount of business logic determining the choice and parameters of htmlb expressions that were to be rendered by that view.
Thus I had view1 with many such includes: <%@include file="page_or_fragment.htm" %> and the includes would include further includes.
All this meant that the bsp was at its limit: adding 10 lines of htmlb code caused a dump : too much abap, branch offset limit reached.
End of project?
The solution was simple, once found with the help of discussions in this forum and the online documentation:
1) Set the main controller lifetime to session.
2) In the view called by that controller, replace the biggest include statement:
<%@include file="biggest.htm" %> with the statement:
<bsp:call url="controller_for_biggest.do" > </bsp:call>
3) Do not code comp_id on that call (it is prefixed to code later if you do, and the bsp has not been written that way).
4) Define a new view with the same content as the previous include, 'biggest.htm', let's call it 'biggest_view'.
5) Take out the begin and end tags for the htmlb content, page, and form extension elements from 'biggest_view'.
6) Define the new controller 'controller_for_biggest.do'
7) The new controller creates and then calls the new view in the normal way in via call_view( 'biggest_view' ).
So the project could restart.
I hope this is useful.
Kind regards David Lawn

This is sound advice.
I have an application that suffered from these "growing pains" and so I redesigned much of it with your advice.
Good stuff.

Reducing the amount of space

I'm attempting to use some code like this to make a tabbed
page.
<cfformgroup type="tabnavigator" style="indicatorGap:0;
verticalGap:3;">
<cfformgroup type="page" label="Contact Summary">
<cfformgroup type="vbox" id="editForm">
There is to much space between the tab (contact summary) and
the first form element inside that tab. I've tried going over all
the formatting style options at the following URL:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm ?context=ColdFusion_Documentation&file=00000677.htm
I just can't get that darn space out of there. I know it is
tough to see what I'm talking about without an image, but no
uploads to this forum that I can see.
Anyone got a tip?

Thanks for your reply. I was going to take a screen shot and
link to it or something. Before I did that, I thought I would check
out the site you have listed beta.killtheheart.com... Well, guess
what! You have the same 'problem' that I am trying to fix.
Looking at your form, you have a number of tabs. The default
shows as the music tab for me. From the bottom of the music tab to
the start of the search box you have a lot of space. This is
exactly what I have, and I can't figure out what style will reduce
the amount of space that is shown there. It is waisting an entire
line, and I'm trying to squeeeze as much as possible on the form.

When I look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it reports Firefox as 5.44GB. Could this be true? If so how do I reduce the amount of space it is taking up?

When I look in Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel it reports Firefox as 5.44GB. Could this be true? If so how do I reduce the amount of space it is taking up?

It is quite common for the program size listings to be wrong. To check the actual size of the Firefox installation, you can manually check the size of the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory]. It is is typically around 26-30Mb, and the default location on 32 bit Windows is C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
There are also a couple of other locations where Firefox stores data, check the size of the following folders as well.
Firefox also stores user data such as bookmarks and passwords in the [[profiles|profile folder]]. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Firefox stores temporary files in the cache. To find the location of the cache, type '''about:cache''' into the location bar. It should be inside this folder C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
The last 2 folders are normally hidden, you may need to set Vista to [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial130.html show hidden files and folders].

HT201318 Reduce the amount of iCloud storage you are using by September 30, 2013 emails

I keep getting emails telling me to reduce the amount of storage you are using or purchase a storage plan, but when I click Manage my Storage Plan the plan I want isn't available. I've been trying to get help on this topic for a week.

What is your current plan and what plan are you trying to choose? Also, are you a former MobileMe user who's free upgrade is about to expire?

Reducing the amount of classes loaded

Is it true that the amount of classes loaded can be reduced by having exclusive import statements in the code, as apposed to general package imports.
eg import <package path>.<classname> as aposed to import <package path>.*

all and only classes that are instantiated or referenced will be loaded
specifying individual classes can help prevent name conflicts (ie 2 classes with the same name in different packages)
importing whole packages will slow the compiler by a very very tiny ammount

N95- I want to reduce the amount of messages store...

I am sick of my phone taking ages to open tx messages and to reply or move or delete them, I go into my inbox and there is about 1000 or so stored there, I can alter the amount of tx msg that I send that get saved, but nowhere can I find how to reduce the inbox to 100 or 200. It is too much to store and makes my phone slow! Please help.

Keep on deleting the ones that you do not want to keep..its as simple as that.. In fact you can delete ALL by syncing the messages on your PC thru' the Nokia Suite. Refer them or drag them back to the phone whenever you want to do that...

How can I reduce the amount of storage a shared photo stream is taking on one of my devices

I have over 8000 photos on the Cloud in various shared photostreams. They all appear on all my devices which is great. The devices show the photos using about 1GB of memory unless I plug into iTunes when it reveals they are in fact using circa 15GB!! This is ok on the devices with large memory capacity but one of my 'phones is only 16GB in total and is now full.
If I try to delete a photostream on this phone it threatens to delete the photostream on all my devices.
It would appear that my cloud storage for photostream is limited by the device with the least memory.
Any ideas on solutions gratefully received. Buy a new phone with more memory or delete some of the photostreams are the sub optimal ideas I have at present.
Also why is the usage understated on the devices and only revealed when I plug in to iTunes?
Many Thanks
D

Reducing File Size by reducing the amount of embedded fonts

Currently we use coldfusion to generate a rather large PDF. We take the data and merge it with pdf forms and then combine all the forms into one large PDF. The end product of the PDF is rather large in size, when i do and audit of the space usage i notice that 89.40% is fonts which relates to almost 92.9 mbs. Is there a way i can strip some of these fonts either using coldfusion or adobe acrobat pro, and still maintain the integrity of the PDF?

It may be you can subset the fonts and not include the full fonts in the file. You might also consider replacing some of the fonts with others to reduce the total number. Removing the fonts is dangerous as the PDF may not display properly in such a case. There are some preflight macros that deal with fonts that might help -- worth looking at.

How can I reduce the amount of user prompts for Email setup in Apple Configurator?

I am working on deploying profiles via Apple's new Apple Configurator which allows me to install apps and settings exactly how I want them. My question pertains to the email setup where anything left blank in the payload gets prompted on the device for user input. Is there anyway to have the user only enter in their user name and password once and use that for the SMTP outgoing settings as well? I'd like to reduce the user interaction to a minimal.Currently they enter in their full name, email address, user name for incoming, password for incoming, and then user name AGAIN for outgoing (I checked the box for 'Outgoing password same as incoming'). Is there anyway to retain the username and avoid having the user enter it in twice?
If not, I can make do with how it is, but was rather curious if this is possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll try this again starting it as new, but when I restored it before (after deleting all the apps and music off it) it didn't help. Thanks for the suggestion!

How do I reduce the amount of Gbs that my music takes up

I have roughly 2400 songs and it's taking 16 Gbs which I cannot load onto my iPhone any way I can reduce the file size without re-importing the songs?

There is also the option to convert files as they are copied to the device to make them take up less room, which leaves you the better quality originals in your library.
