Storage running low

My daughter ipod touch 4 th gen keeps telling her it is almost out of storage.  When i plug into the computer it shows that the yellow bar is taking p a ton of space.  What IS this "other" and what is it made up of?  it is not pics, or apps...Annoying the heck out of me!!!  Thank you!!

My recent experience is that when you "delete a backup" you are actually authorizing iCLOUD to detete the actual and ONLY copy of your data - - NOT a backup.  Once deleted, I think, there is no way to recover this data.  I have my own thread open, but only posted it today (Feb 2, 2013), but I'm not hopeful.  Seem Apple is very misleading by suggesting you delete a backup but it actually deletes the ONLY copies of your data.  I would strongly discourage storing anything important on iCLOUD, based on this.

  • Bootcamp: How to transfer more memory to the windows side? i'm running low

    Wondering if you anyone knows how to transfer more memory to the windows side (partition) without having to uninstall bootcamp and start over...... I am running low on memory on the windows side but don't have either of the software disks to start over.

    Too many people don't allocate enough storage space (memory = RAM) and make the partition too small.
    Only things you can do is backup both OS X and Windows, remove the BootCamp Partition, reformat the full drive, and restore.

  • Bridge Freezing after Caching Photo Shoots - Says Running Low on Disk Space & To Purge Cache

    Hello,
    I'm working in  Bridge CS5 on a Mac 0S X version 10.9.2. I have 12 GB of RAM and the server has 240 TB capacity, 76.69 available.
    Recently I've received the following error message while processing large photo shoots with both DNG and JPEG files: Bridge is running low on memory. It is recommended that Bridge is restarted.
    I have also been manually caching large photo shoots and my cache preferences were set to Keep 100% Preview In Cache and Automatically Export Cache To Folder When Possible. My cache size was set to 500,000.  Yesterday, Bridge started to freeze while attempting to open folders. The wheel would spin at the bottom with the message Compiling Criteria. The only way to close Bridge was a Force Quit. This happened several times.
    Today, image thumbnails will no longer display, only the DNG/JPEG icons. I received the following error message:
    I have tried restarting Bridge while holding the alt/Option key to reset the preferences and checking all three boxes - no luck. I have done the same thing with the boxes unchecked - no luck.  I have tried manually purging the cache from its location in the library - no luck. I have tried resetting the cache preferences from the toolbar - no luck. I have tried deleting the cache files from the folders - nothing. happens, I have tried purging the cache for each folder from the tool bar - nothing happens.
    I need to restore the thumbnails and rebuild the cache for each folder. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong or how to help?
    Many Thanks!

  • My iPhone says storage is low. What do I do? I have a lot of pictures on my iPhone and don't' know how to download to MacBook Pro. Don't want all of them to go to one file .

    I have the iPhone4s and it says my storage is low. Is it because I have too many pictures stored on it? How do move them to my Macbook Pro? If I move them to my new MacBook Pro can they go to one file and then move them into other files?
    How do I do that?

  • Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)?

    Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)?  I often miss the visual power percentage in the top bar, so would like an audio alert as well.

    For global alerts, yes:
    There is no need to do anything before the alert appears, and the MBA will not lose data should it go to sleep. If it goes to sleep at 0% you still have several hours to plug it in before it shuts down.
    I wouldn't even bother displaying the percentage value.

  • The merge process could not allocate memory for an operation; your system may be running low on virtual memory. Restart the Merge Agent.

    I encountered this problem on our SQL2012 and I have tried different scenarios (see below) to no avail. I have decided to give up and check if someone here has encountered this and resolved it. 
    One thing I know, it's not a memory issue. Both servers we're using has lots of memory to spare and we monitor the memory as the replication goes through it's steps. 
    I hope someone can help me on this. Thanks!
    The Error:
    The merge process could not allocate memory for an operation; your system may be running low on virtual memory. Restart the Merge Agent.
    Our Scenario
    We're using SQL Server 2012 SP1. All subscriptions are pull based.
    We're using direct Merge Replication (not FTP or web sync)
    We already have 10 active replications with larger databases. Only 1 has this issue.
    Database size is less than 5 GB
    Rebuilding the publisher is not an option.
    What have I tried?
    There is no memory problem --- we have lots to spare
    I have tried re-initialization of the database. Same problem.
    I tried deleting the database and reinitializing it. Same problem
    New snapshot. Same problem.
    I tried changing the subscriber server but still same issue. 
    MCP, MCSD, MCDBA (ANXA)

    Here is the result for the sp_configure on our subscriber. We're doing a pull on the server with the issue.
    name
    minimum
    maximum
    config_value
    run_value
    max server memory (MB)
    128
    2147483647
    2147483647
    2147483647
    In addition, I made a comparison between the working servers and the one with the issue -- there seems to be a difference in the service pack. Publisher has none but the subscriber is operating on SP1. But still strange as only 1 database is affected.

  • Battery running low much faster after upgrade

    Ever since I upgraded the software, my battery life has seriously degraded. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? And is there a solution? I've already turned off location services - which is upsetting because prior to the upgrade, I had it turned on and my battery did not run low this quickly.

    Perhaps these suggestions will help:

  • "Bridge is running low on memory and should be restarted" error

    I am running Bridge CS4 on a DELL T-1650 with plenty of hard drive space.  I am having trouble with indexing / caching files.  My computer is connected to a large office server with a large amount of files that I need to be able to search.  I recieve a "Bridge is running low on memory and should be restarted" error each time I attempt to index the files on the server drive.  I have tried Purge and Cache, set the cache memory slider to max.  This is a very large amount of files (TB ) to index /cache.  I leave the computer running overnight to allow ample time, I nothing on my TB hard drive , and have 16GB of available RAM.  Any ideas?

    …My computer is connected to a large office server…
    Aha!  Working over a network is not supported by Adobe.
    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
         Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.   It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
    When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

  • Bridge runs low on memory CS5

    Now I have a problem while working in photoshop and I open bridge if I open adjust and close a few raw images I get a message that says Bridge is running low on memory you should restart bridge.  I looked for a memory adjustment and can't find it.  Anyone know where it is?

    OK, what changed a week ago?  Did you add new hardware, add new software, updated any software, add any external devices? 
    If it worked before and not now, and the answer to the above is no, then reset the preferences by holdling down the Ctrl key and starting Bridge.  You will get a reset window with 3 options.

  • Running low on system memory (PE8)

    Hi all
    I recently started getting the "Premiere Elements is running low on system memory, please save your work and proceed with caution" message in PE8. I have read tons of topics and websites about the problem and tried every solution that was described in them. I'm not really expecting a solution, only some sympathy
    What I'm doing:
    I'm from Belgium in Europe and I did a month long trip on Route 66 last year, together with a friend. Now I'm in the middle of making a road movie out of our footage. The clips were shot with a Samsung camcorder using the MP4 container. GSpot tells me it's using an avc1 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec.
    I started using these files without thinking, even though 1 minute of footage is approximately 100 MB large. That worked quite okay, but now I'm about 25 minutes into my montage and I'm getting an increased number of the "running low on system memory" message, at the point where they pop up after about a minute's work.
    What I tried:
    Then I converted all the used video files using WinFF, into MP4 files with more compression, making the files about six times smaller in size. Now, when I open up PE8 and the interface is loaded, I immediately get the "running low on system memory" message, probably because PE8 is conforming the clips again. Because that didn't work, I put the original files back in place, but as expected that gave the same result. Now PE8 crashed when I try to do anything.
    Before I start working, I make sure all other programs and their corresponding processes are shut down, so the computer has little else to do than keep me from being frustrated
    My system:
    I'm running PE8 under Windows 7 Ultimate. I have an AMD Phenom 8600B triple core processor with 3 GB of RAM and one hard drive, divided into two partitions with 135 GB free on the disk where my movie clips and project file are. I moved the scratch disks in PE8 to an external hard drive that's connected through USB 3.0. I upped my virtual memory, the paging file is now 7070 MB large, with the custom size set initially to 4000 MB and a max size of 6000 MB.
    Last words:
    I'm guessing PE8 is now crashing because it has too much to do reconforming all video and that I probably will be fine if I convert the clips first, and then start using them in PE. I will do that for the rest of my movie but I don't want to redo those first 25 minutes, because they almost literally cost me blood, sweat and tears.
    What I want:
    A listening ear, a pat on the back and maybe the one solution that hasn't been uttered anywhere on the internet yet and somehow manages to rid me of all frustration

    Neale,
    There is a green-screen video (video2) with a still picture background (as video1) that runs through the entire video.  The still is 720 px high by 800 px wide.
    Again, creating the mpeg in for DVD widescreen, no problem.  FLV web medium, no problem.  FLV web large - memory problems.  When creating FLV web large, RAM usage never goes above 6½ to 7 GB.  No other apps running, anti-virus shut down. 
    Maybe PE9 can't use all 24 GB?  As a 32-bit app, I guess it can't. 
    Photoshop works well, at least.

  • Running low on system memory?

    Help! I'm trying to edit a new project in Premiere Pro CS3, and it keeps crashing on me. The footage was shot using a Sony HDR-XR500V camcorder. The footage was given to me on a thumb drive saved as .mpg files. I'm converting the files to .avi format using the Emicsoft MTS Converter, and then importing them into the Premiere project. I've imported probably a couple hundred files or so -- which I've then saved in various bins -- and now I keep getting error messages saying Premiere is running low on system memory, that I should save my project, etc. Basically it won't let me import any more files. I've tried ending system processes using the Task Manager, but that doesn't help? Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks ...

    Hi...  I know this is a pain to have to deal with, but basically you have a motherboard with a Front Side Bus ( FSB) speed that dictates one aspect of your memory chip specs.  For example, mine is 600 I think...(I'm half brain dead from heat in NYC at moment )....and usually it is BEST to match memory chips so that they are all EXACTLY the same....
    There are also other specs re: mem chips that determine their ultimate " speed "....like how fast they can dump old stuff and get new stuff..and so what you should do is go to the dell site and find out exactly what you have in your machine and then get exactly the same specs ...
    depending on how many mem slots you have you might have to throw away a couple 512K chips and buy 2 1gig chips to fill in those slots ( they should be exactly same in pairs in the slots )....   like in my case to add 1 gig I threw away 2 512 chips and got 2 gig chips...which ultimately gained me 1 gig.
    ( CAS of chips matter, etc )
    sorry its not so simple re: just picking brand .....  but its not the terrible either considering the benefit to you...
    You might still have to deal with adjusting your "pagefile" and scratch disk settings after upgrading mem...but that's easy and a lot of people here can help you with that.
    Just to let you know...I also got a graphic card for my dell desktop with an new power supply to handle the card requirements....so my little dell inspiron became a " mighty mouse "....for a little machine it is pretty much maxed out now..... and I can just do SD stuff....comfortably

    Good luck

  • Can't publish message: Server running low on memory

    Hi All,
    After looking through the documentation and using Ask BEA I have come up
    with no answers to this message I have seen:
    weblogic.log:Can't publish message: Server running low on memory.
    I am setting the memory min and max to -ms256m -mx256m.
    What does the error "Can't publish message: Server running low on memory."
    mean? Is it a serious lack of memory resources, or is it just a warning
    message that the server has hit its upper limit of the heap and it is about
    to do garbage collection or is in the midst of garbage collection?

  • Always running low on memory

    Hi,
    I have 13" Macbook pro - mid 2010.
    4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Nvidia GeForce 320M 256 MB
    running 10.8.2 (12C60)
    Apps which I typically have open  at the same time are:
    iPhoto 11  - version 9.4.1  (701.67)     (apx. 50 GB library)
    iTunes 10 - version 10.7 (21)               (apx. 30 GB library)
    Chrome    - 22.0.1229.94
    My computer is constatnly running low on RAM.   After 1 day after reboot, it is very typcal that activity monitor will show only 10-100 MB "Free".  "Inactive" memory is typically around 1.5 - 2 GB.
    Activity monitor always shows as iPhoto as biggest culprit. taking up over 1 GB of RAM.
    The thing is that I NEVER had _any_ issues before upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard.   My MBP was always snappy and very fast.
    But now, my MBP is starting to become un-useable.   I basically can't run iPhoto without bogging down my system.  I livie in beach-ball city.   I didn't know what beach ball was before Lion.
    I tried running disk-check and verify disk to see if something else was causing my MBP to be slow, but there were no problems.
    Recently, I moved my iPhoto to external hard drive connected via firewire.    same problems.
    I don't know even if it is worth it to upgrade RAM....maybe I'll end up with same problem.
    I've read enough forum threads on "MAC memory problems" "MAC inactive memory" "iPhoto memory leaks" etc, that I really am not expecting a miracle answer.
    Just some advice/guidance suggestions would be appreciated.
    Lastly. My brother bought a new iMAC in 2011.  don't know all the specs but it was lower range one with 4 GB RAM.    He has ZERO problems with memory on his machine.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Etresoft,
    Thanks for your suggestions.  Really appreciate your time on this.
    I have to say, that I could not resist. I did upgrade to 8 GB today.  Paid only $36 CAD.  I couldn't resist.
    However, I am conviced more than ever, that "something else" is going on with my system. 
    After installing 8 GB (2x4GB)  I started up Aperature 3.  5 minutes later, my sytem was showing < 1 GB RAM available.
    Regarding your comments from above - I used this laptop for work for a whiile, hence VBox and Wireshark and some extra plugins.
