Storage capacity used with "other" stuff

I have a wifi 64 Gig iPad. The only thing I use it for is netflix, video, and books. My current storage capacity is being used like this...
Audio (.01 GB)
Video (1.84 GB)
Photos (.01 GB)
Apps (.46 GB)
Books (1.13 GB)
Other (36.2 GB)
Free (19.7 GB)
My questions are this...
What the heck is this "other" stuff and how do I delete what's taking up all this space?
The other day I got a low storage capacity with 15 GB left of "Free". Why am I getting a please delete stuff because of low storage when I have 15 GB free? Shouldn't I get this when I am around 5 GB?
Is there a way to look at the file structure or an app for this? If I could see what files are taking up so much space then I could fix it myself.

I read the article and it's just a little over my head, but that's not surprising as I am very short in stature and brain supply
Where then is the iOS accounted for in capacity or am I missing something again? But if I do read the article correctly, my iPad was showing only 29GB available when new? Doesn't the article state the operating system will use some of the capacity?

A MacBook will use Time Machine to make local backups so that when connected to an external drive it will backup a lot faster.
to disable this, you must use a command under terminal.
to locate terminal, do a search for it under spotlight (the magnifying glass on the top right corner), should be the first hit.
once under terminal, type the following text exactly:
sudo tmutil disablelocal
hit enter.
you will be asked to input your password, if you do not have a password, you will have to create one before performing this command. after entering your password, hit enter again and close terminal.
in a few minutes the space taken up by time machine should be cleared.

I would only mention that your definition is incomplete for this -

and that it's most often referred to now as a Descendent selector, not a contextual selector. It's basically the same as the Compound selector that you have already defined....

Try to reset Network setting thru (Setting/General/Reset/Reset Network Setting - after clicking on it the phone will ask to reboot)
According to my R&D I have experienced that one must reset the network each time when we r at home or in office or other places, the phone after resetting the network setting acquires the area specific network setting n works well, try it & if any other solution do let me known
Calling up customer care did not help me, they do keep us in a loop with the same old answeres that “Our technical team is working on it & WILL GET BACK TO u” leaving us with no solution at the end

Can cross join be used with other joins

hi,
Q1) is this syntactically correct , cross join with other joins like inner outer. like following.
select * from t1 cross join t2
inner join t3 on cast(t3.c1 as varchar) = (cast(t1.id as varchar) + cast(t2.t2 as varchar))
I have seen it works but wanted to know is it syntactically correct.
yours sincerely

Hi
First, Sorry, I wanted to VOTE (as I wrote) and not to Propose as answer :-)
Join are not necessarily executing in the order we write them. I can show simple example with tables that include the amount of rows is very different.
/**************************************************** DDL - Create tables */
CREATE TABLE T1 (
ID INT IDENTITY CONSTRAINT PK_T1 PRIMARY KEY,
MyValue UNIQUEIDENTIFIER DEFAULT NEWID()
CREATE TABLE T2 (
ID INT IDENTITY CONSTRAINT PK_T2 PRIMARY KEY,
MyValue UNIQUEIDENTIFIER DEFAULT NEWID()
CREATE TABLE T3 (
ID INT IDENTITY CONSTRAINT PK_T3 PRIMARY KEY,
MyValue UNIQUEIDENTIFIER DEFAULT NEWID()
GO
/**************************************************** DML - Populate Tables*/
SET NOCOUNT ON;
insert T1 (MyValue)
select top 100 null
from _ArielyAccessoriesDB.dbo.ArielyNumbers
GO
insert T2 (MyValue)
select top 500 null
from _ArielyAccessoriesDB.dbo.ArielyNumbers
GO
insert T3 (MyValue)
select top 10000 null
from _ArielyAccessoriesDB.dbo.ArielyNumbers
GO
/**************************************************** Play Time */
select T1.MyValue, T2.MyValue, T3.MyValue
from T3
join T2 on T2.ID = T3.ID
join T1 on T1.ID = T2.ID
GO
-- Check Execution Plan [EP]
-- Notice that SQL Server has changed the join order from T3-T2-T1 to T1-T2-T3 because it’s better that way.
-- You can notice that the order was by the number of rowns in tables from the smallest to the bigest SET
hope this is helpful :-)

Online/cloud storage for use with Aperture?

Can anyone tell me if there is an option for online/cloud storage for Aperture photo libraries? I take a lot of photographs which progressively fill ip my hard drive. I'm interested in getting a Air (especially if the rumors of updated Sandy Bridge processors coming this June pan out), but can't really do that and keep all the photographs on my notebook. I realize I could use an external drive, but I would sort of like to have access to all the photographs without always to carry along the external drive. I suspect such a thing exists, but I'm a novice when it comes to cloud storage... Thanks

Check out Mosaic. Mosaic provides online storage that is integrated with your Aperture Library. This way if you have your Aperture photos referenced to an external hard drive, you can still access all of your files from the road.
This enables Argelius prefered workflow where you use an external hard drive for your local storage but you don't have to carry the external around with you everywhere you go.

My iPhone has a large amount of capacity used by other as shown in iTunes when sync. I can't determine where 4.3 GB of other is from. Even eliminating all of the categories of music, movies and the like it still uses 4.3 GB for other?

My iPhone has developed a large amount of "other" as shown on how the capacity is used when sync in iTunes. Even eliminating songs, ovies and all other sync items it still uses 4.3 GB of other. This is a relativily new development. How can I determine the cause and free up this capacity?

Other includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, app data, Safari cache, cookies and bookmarks, stored passwords, search index, home screen organization, wi-fi network data, etc. But is should be around 1 GB; 4.3 GB is an indication that something is corrupt and you will have to restore your phone to correct it.
Before restoring, be sure to import all your photos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or Google, or to a supported program such as Outlook or mac Address Book, or using an app like My Contacts Backup) as contacts are not fully backed up in the iPhone backup. Once this is done, follow this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414, being careful to back up your phone at step 6. At the end of the process your phone will restart and you will go through the setup screens; during this setup, when given the option choose to Restore from iTunes Backup and restore from the backup you made earlier. Then connect to iTunes and see how large "Other" is. If it's still that large, then the corrupt data was contained in the backup you restored from and you will have no choice except to repeat the process, but this time restore your phone as a new iPhone.

External hard drive /storage for use with mini and XP (bootcamp)

Never purchased an external hard drive (storage) before so not sure if this is possible.
Basically I have an intel mini with 60gb hard drive, which I have now allocated 20 to xp via boot camp. I'm quickly using up the 20gb with a few games so I want to purchase an external storage device that will work with both osx and windows - is this possible?
My mini hasnt 'seen' a few USB devices, can anyone recommend one which is compatible with the intel mini?
would any external drive have to be partinioned as well?

I still do not know which format would be the best. That is so that I can use it easily between mac OSX and windows. Is FAT32 the only true option? How limited is it? I heard it is limited to 4GB file size for windows and 32 GB for Mac. Are there other sources I have not found with more concrete information on the limitations of this format?
I really do still need this information and I need to back up my drive before I can take the computer in for service.

MiniDVI to VGA for use with other (normal) monitors and televisions?

Just that...
Is it the miniDVI to VGA (as opposed to the miniDVI to DVI) adaptor that I should buy to connect the MacBook to other monitors (to get the extension of the MacBook screen) and televisions (so the MacBook can act as a DVD player)?
Oh - also, could I plug a USB mouse and keyboard into the MacBook and plug the MacBook into a monitor and use it with the lid closed (ie like a desktop)?
Thanks very much!

I changed from Vodavone to Orange, and I can't use the telephone anymore. Is there anyone who knows how to solve this problem?

Only the carrier an iPhone was sold as carrier locked with can officially unlock the iPhone. Contact Vodafone.

How can I convert .mov files for use with other apps?

When loading movies taken on a friend's digital camera to my PC, the video files were saved as Quicktime .mov files. I am now unable to pull those files into any other software program (I want to put them onto a CD or DVD and play on external players.) How can I convert .mov files to a .wmv or .avi or mpeg?
Thanks - J

Kodak Digital Camera QuickTime MOV Problems
After battling a number of serious problems with the videos taken by my new Kodak Digital Camera, I decided to write up this page so that anyone searching the web would find out the true answers without as much grief!
I’ve also made some other comments about my experience with the camera, in case anyone was considering buying a Kodak camera in the near future.
I bought the camera just before Christmas 2004 in the US. At the time of writing, it is a pretty good model for domestic use—about 5.2 megapixels, costing about US$400 (or AU$600 back here in Australia). From a company as reputable as Kodak, I expected no problems.
The first disappointing thing was that the spring inside the spring-loaded battery clip, inside the camera, came loose within days. It proved impossible to reattach it without completely dismantling the camera, which (despite my engineering qualifications) I was not willing to do. This would usually have been a warranty item, but Kodak’s warranty does not extend to other countries. I’ve since had to jam cardboard in to keep the battery clip engaged, and have taped the battery bay shut to avoid it opening accidentally when taking the camera out of the case. This works fine with the docking station (an extra AU$100!), but it means I can no longer charge the battery without the docking station (since you need to take it out to charge it). I was not impressed!
The camera takes good photos, and I have no complaint with that. The controls and camera menus are well-designed. The large display is excellent.
The EasyShare software is not as easy to use as it looks, has a habit of crashing, has a web update program that is always running in the background of Windows, and transferring images is nowhere as easy or quick as it should be. I’ve now uninstalled it completely, and simply copy the photos directly from the device. (If the camera memory is nearly full, and you just want to transfer the last few photos, then it’s impossible to use the EasyShare software to browse the camera’s photos without it actually downloading the whole lot through the USB cable—and it takes forever! Copying from the device directly doesn’t hit this bug.)
The capability to take video using the camera was a great attraction when I selected it, and, if it worked properly, it would make it quite a handy little camcorder in its own right. With a 512 MB memory card in it, over an hour of video can be recorded at Video-CD quality (320 x 240 24fps video, 8 kHz audio). It’s not full digital video, but it would still be a pretty good feature for a US$400 camera. If it worked.
The first disappointing thing about taking videos is that the optical zoom cannot be adjusted while the camera is recording. It can only be adjusted between video sequences. I don’t know why this restriction was made in the design.
The real problems, however, start when you try to do anything with the video clips captured by the camera. Kodak has chosen to capture the videos in QuickTime format. This is fine—QuickTime is, technically, excellent—except that there is no simple way to convert QuickTime MOV files to AVI or MPEG or VCD. The Kodak software comes with a QuickTime player, so you can see the video clips on the computer you installed the software on—and they look good. Problem is that you can’t just dump those MOV files onto your Video-CD creator (it will usually want AVI or MPEG files).
It takes some time to realise that Kodak have not even bothered to include any software with the camera that can convert these MOV files to a more useful format. This is a serious PR blunder, and anyone bitten by this is unlikely to go near the Kodak brand ever again.
After some web searching, owners of these cameras generally find that the best (only?) freeware solution to convert MOV to AVI is Bink and Smacker’s RADtools program.
RADtools is amazingly powerful for the price (i.e. free), but it hits two fundamental problems with Kodak Digital Camera MOV video files, that are the fault of the Kodak camera, not RADtools. (I know this because every other MOV converter hits the same problems—except one, as you will see below.)
The first problem is that the sound cannot be converted properly. When you convert any Kodak MOV files, there is an “aliasing” of the sound at the upper frequencies. This is a technical description—you get a whispery, tinny, C3PO type of echo to everything. It really destroys the quality of the video clips (especially bad when I am trying to capture priceless memories of my 4- and 7-year-old sons—I don’t want their voices destroyed for all time).
Every conversion program I tried ended up with the same audio problem. I concluded that it is something strange in the way the Kodak cameras store the MOV files.
Strangely enough, I noticed that the QuickTime player didn’t distort the audio like this. The audio sounds just fine through QuickTime. More on this shortly.
The second, more serious problem is that RADtools could not properly convert some of the video clips at all. (This problem only affected less than 10% of the clips I originally filmed, but most of those clips were very short—less than 20 seconds. It seems that the probability of this problem gets worse, the longer the clip.) RADtools would misreport the number of frames in the clip, and would stretch out a small number of frames of video (in slow motion) to match the length of the audio.
Again, I confirmed that this is a property of some of the MOV files stored by the camera. Other conversion tools also had problems with the same MOV clips.
After more angst, I found a number of websites in which frustrated owners of these Kodak cameras have reported the exact same problems.
It was only then that I discovered that QuickTime itself can convert MOV files to AVI. Believe it or not, it’s built into the QuickTime Player that Kodak supplies, or that you can download free from apple.com. The problem is that you can’t use it unless you pay Apple to upgrade to QuickTime Pro.
After realising that this would probably be the only way to get decent audio for these clips, I paid the AU$59 to Apple Australia to get the licence key that enables the extra “Pro” menu options in QuickTime.
Sure enough, you can “Export” any MOV file to a number of formats, including AVI. And guess what? The audio comes out fine!
So, the first piece of advice I can give is: pay Apple the US$29 (or whatever amount it is in your country) to upgrade QuickTime to QuickTime Pro.
From here, however, there are still a few snags to untangle.
The first is that the default settings for Exporting to AVI don’t give a great result. It defaults to the Cinepak codec, medium quality. This looks terrible compared to the original QuickTime movie. Even on maximum quality, that codec just doesn’t give good results.
I finally found that the best option is to use the Intel Indeo Video 4.4 codec, set on maximum quality. This creates AVI files that are 10 to 20 times larger than the original MOV files, but the quality is there. If (like me) you only want the AVI files so you can dump them into your Video-CD program, then you want to keep the quality as high as possible in this first step. The extra hard disk space is not really a concern. When your VCD program converts the AVI files to MPEG, it will compress them to the usual VCD size.
Now for the biggest snag: those problem MOV files are still a problem, even for QuickTime Pro. Unbelievably, these Kodak cameras are spitting out MOV files which have some sort of technical flaw in their data specifications. QuickTime is able to play them back fine—and that seems to be all that the Kodak engineers really checked. However, if QuickTime Pro tries to export them, then when the progress bar gets to the end, it never finishes. It just keeps going. If you check the output folder with Explorer, and keep hitting F5 to update the file listing, you can see the file getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger. It never stops.
That this happens even for QuickTime itself (the native format for these files) confirms that the problem is with the software built into these Kodak cameras. It would be nice it they issued a patch or a fix. I couldn’t find one.
Fortunately, there is a “workaround” for this problem. I found it when trolling the net trying to find solutions to all these problems. The workaround is to use QuickTime Pro’s cut and paste facility. Open the problem MOV file, then press Ctrl-A (the standard key combination for “select all”—in this case it selects the entire film clip, as you can see by the grey selection of frames at the bottom of the player). Then hit Ctrl-C (i.e. copy, which in this case copies all the frames, but not the incorrect data structure in the original MOV file). Now hit Ctrl-N (i.e. new, in this case a new MOV file or player). In this new player, press Ctrl-V (i.e. paste). Now you have a new version of the MOV file with the bad data structure exorcised. You can save this under a new name, but make sure you specify “Make movie self-contained”—otherwise, it will simply be a link to the original (bad) MOV file, which you are probably going to delete once you save the exorcised version. (You also cannot overwrite the original file, because it needs to access that to make the “self-contained” movie. You need to give it a slightly different name, save it “self-contained”, then delete the original and rename the new copy back to what you wanted it to be. A pain, I agree, but at least the **** thing works—finally!)
The exorcised MOV file can now be used to Export to AVI format. (I also keep all the MOV files on a separate CD, in case I want to reconvert them to a different format in the future. I figure it’s better keeping the exorcised ones than the haunted ones.)
So I hope that all this answers a few of your questions. No, you weren’t being incredibly stupid.

My contract with Telcel has expired can I unlock my iphone 3gs to use with other carriers?

I would like to use my old i-phone 3GS while travelling abroad, is it posible to unlock it from the carrier telcel, the 18 month contract is already expired.

Yes, that is the official page on Telcel's website with links to PDFs describing the unlocking procedure, and forms required to complete.
The unlocking procedure includes this reminder: "the 'Official Mexican Standard NOM-184-SCFI-2012' states that cell phones purchased after October 23, 2012—when the rule became effective—must be unlocked for free if you ask." It implies that phones purchased before October 23, 2012 cannot be unlocked.
