Trying to lessen the amount of programs on computer

I have noticed that I have a huge amount of space taken up by JAVA programs. I have J2SE 5.0 Update 4, JAVA2 SE V1.4.2._03, and JAVA SE V1.4.2._04. Could I possilby get rid of JAVA SE V1.4.2._03 now that I have the Update 4, they both take up a lot of storage?

If you compile programs with the latest JDK 1.5 ( 5.0 ), then they will not run on a machine which has an older JDK. So be sure you know what your minimum JDK / JRE requirements are for a user of your software.
Money can solve this problem too.... buy a new hard disk.

Owen

Trying to decrease the amount of music on my phone. It says space not available although I'm decreasing the amount of music. I don't want to reset it if possible.

Hi charlatan19,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand the need to free up space on your iPhone sometimes. Please use the attached article that explains how to delete content from your device directly or using your computer.

I receive an error message when trying to install the latest Itunes program on my computer using windows 7, 64. I receive the message, "service apple mobile device fails to start"

What must I do to install the latest Itunes program using windows 7, 64. The program stops when the service portion is installing and states, "Service Apple mobile division fails to start"

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

How to find out the amount of ram a computer can hold

I want to know how to find out what is the max amount of ram my computer can actually take advantage of, rather than tell you my model and you tell me what is the max because I know it varies according to the model of the Computer
But if you'd like to help the other way, here is my model: Macbook(13-inch, Mid 2010 [unibody]) basically the latest version of the white macbook.

simple version: what algorithms do they use to figure out the max is 8GB
That is not a simple question. I don't think anyone here knows the exact testing process that Apple uses to determine what the max ram will be at the time of release. This is done during the development process.

Tell us about your OS? Do you have administrative privledges?

How do I exclude directories from Finder search results? I'm trying to find the biggest FILES on my computer and it keeps showing me "Macintosh HD" as the biggest, how can I search for files of type "NOT folder/directory"?

Basically I've lost 10GB of free space over the last few weeks so my plan was to search for files modified in the last 2 weeks in order to figure out which ones are big and where that space went.
So I open finder, go to "File > Find", and enter a search:
Modified > In the last 2 weeks
All fine so far.
Problem is, it's showing whole directories as results. Which essentially means that when I order the list by size, Macintosh HD is at the top, followed by "Users", then "Applications", then one of my bigger movie files, then "Library", etc.
How can I do a search which will ignore folders? I want individual files. Knowing that Macintosh HD is the biggest item on my computer and was modified in the last 2 weeks is utterly useless to me.
Older versions of Finder in OS 9 had a feature where you could search for "files, whose type "IS NOT" folder", but OS X doesn't seem to have such a feature.
Can anyone help?

How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

I'm trying to decide the amount of memory I need in an iPad. I'm a graduate student and am purchasing the iPad to load my books onto, keep a planner, and stream TV

I'd rather have too much memory as opposed to too little.. but I don't want to spend an extra 100 bucks if I don't need to! I don't really understand the whole memory thing - so I guess I'm looking for an explanation of that - as well as what people in similar situations use.
Thanks in advance!

My computer crashed so i am trying to download the app on a new computer

Why won't my computer recognize the start up app?

what os and what files (name and extensions) did you download and what program/suite are you trying to install?

My Pages document will no longer show up on my iPad. It shows up on iCloud and i tried to download the document on to my computer. It only gives me an error and tells me to try again. Is there some way I could recover my document?

The other day I tried to open a document on my Pages app on my iPad. I soon notice I could no longer see it anywhere is my documents. I opened my laptop and went to iCloud.com to search for it there. On iCloud.com I am able to see the document but I can not do anything with it. I tried downloading it to my computer as a pdf. file but it just says error and to try again. I was able to copy the document but it does not allow me to download the copied document either. Is there some way I can recover the document or a pervious version of the document?

How are you seeing your document on iCloud from your laptop? Web browser, or OS X Pages open dialog?
If you have MS Word or .pages formatted files parked on iCloud, the web interface will not permit their download as PDF, and in fact, PDF is an inactive option in that download menu for these word processing files. There is no copy facility available, but duplicate functionality exists from the iWork category within the iCloud web presence.
If you have Pages v4.2 or later installed on your (assumption: Mac) laptop, launch Pages and in the open file dialog, select iCloud on the dialog toolbar. Now, press and hold the option key as you drag and drop a copy of our document from iCloud to your desktop. The reverse works also.
See if you can open that document on your laptop now.

The free update program does not accept my serial number

I purchased my new macbook pro at June 21st, 2011. But when I tried to participate the free upgrade program, it said my serial number is ineligible.

You are allowed two activations at any one time. Have you installed on two computers without deactivating?

An error occurred while trying to contact the radio tuning service

I get this error message when trying to connect to the radio stations on itunes? "an error occurred while trying to contact the radio tuning service" My computer is definitely connected to the internet as I can stream from pandora and safari and mail work? Any suggestions?

I suggest you browse this forum. This issue has been going on for at least 3 days now. It happens to some part of the time, some for all the time, not at all to others.
It's not clear what the issue is, or where it lies. If it's something to do with Apple's servers they are not likely to discuss it. There was an issue like this a few months ago with the weather widgets and people kept on posting with no news until one day it suddenly started working, again with no news. If you wish to, you can report to Apple.

There are other applications that let you listed to online radio if you are desperate. Check www.pure-mac.com

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the stabilization all of a sudden. I did an analyze. The amount of shake isn't terrible but it's there. There are no squiggly lines in the clip I'm trying to stabilize. As you can see in the screenshot that it allows me to click the "Smooth clip motion" but the slider is not there for zoom. Any ideas why this is happening all of a sudden? It happens on all clips in this event. The entire event was analyzed after importing.

What program are you using for this editing?
We can ask a Host should move your query over to that forum.

TS1567 I have tried manually removing itunes and reinstalling. i have gone through the sevices anf tried turning on the AMDS. i have tried turning off the firewall. i have tried restoring my device. i have tried "fixing" the AMDS in the add/remove program

I have tried manually removing itunes and reinstalling. i have gone through the sevices anf tried turning on the AMDS. i have tried turning off the firewall. i have tried restoring my device. i have tried "fixing" the AMDS in the add/remove programs. I have tried using a different device. i have tried using a different cable. I have tried all of the steps given in the link supplied by Apple. None of these things have fixed my problem. I still have the Error Message "The Apple Mobile Device Service started then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs or Alerts service. I am using Windows XP. I am leaning towards a last resort which would be to wipe my hard drive and start from scratch. Does anyone have a solution?

Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.
