What are "other files" on iphone?

Hello
I am trying to delete the other files from my iPhone so I can download the new update, but I havent got a clue how to delete them...what are they? And how can I get rid of them?
Thanks
Claire

Could be favorites, history, voicemail, etc.
It is normal to have a gb or less of other. More than this indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

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.

In my storage summary it says other files. It shows 30GB what are these files and how do I remove them

I am trying to remove files to get my computer to run better. In the storage summery it shows a category OTHER. What are these file and how can I remove them. I went through my downloads and documents and copied them and then removed them. What else could they be??

They are files that cannot be put in the other categories. They are documents, email, cache, temp, OS files, etc.

What are LRPREV files, and how do I open them?

I uploaded some pictures onto my laptop from my phone. They seem to have disappeared completely, as they are no longer on my phone, in any of my laptop folders (i've checked several times) or my laptop recycling bin. Having said that, many LRPREV files have appeared in a couple of my folders, which I had not seen before. Putting 2 and 2 together, it seems like the photos from the phone may have unintentionally been converted into this file type.
My main problem is that I can't open them, so I can't see them to find out. What are LRPREV files and how can I open them? Otherwise, would I be able to convert them into a file type which I should be able to view?
I would also be grateful if anyone had any suggestions of where my photos may have gone to.
Thanks.

I am no expert but have had LR since LR3. Did you import the photos into your LR catalog? It sounds like you have at least viewed the photos using LR or they would not show up in your LRPREV files. LRPREV files are those that have been at least looked at in LR because LR automatically makes previews (thumbnails) of photos you have actually added to a catalog or at least attempted to import. When you upload photos from your phone what folder do you send them to? Why are the original files no longer on your phone, do you automatically delete photos after you import them? You shouldn't do that until you at least confirm you can see them on your computer and have backed them up to at least a second, preferably offline, location. I would open your LR catalog and look for for a line in your navigation module indicating recent imports? I probably haven't helped you much.

What are these files for ACCFinderBundleLoader_64 and ACCFinderBundleLoader_32? They appear in my Launchpad!

I am thinking to delete them because they disturb me when they have a place in the Launchpad among my applications.

If the files are already there, they'll never be overwritten when you visit a
new site, would they ? That's how the cache works :-)

0.41GB of my iPod Touh 4G' is taken up by something called 'Others'. What are 'Others' and can they be deleted or are they an essential part of the iPod and embedded in it? If not essential how do I go about deleting it to enable me to add other pictures

0.41GB of my iPod Touch 4G's capacity is taken up by something callked 'Others'. What are 'Others' and will it be o.k to delete them? If so how do I go about doing it as there is no trace of a file on either iTunes or my iPod?

Other content is typically miscellaneous data used by applications you have installed - could be save data (e.g. for games), or documents you've created. There's no easy way to determine precisely what it is, but the only way to clear it is to either delete it from within the respective application, or remove the associated application altogether - neither of which are typically practical.

What are Logical FIle?

Hi All,
What are Logical Files ? and how to Create Logicla Files? What is the purpose of Logical Files? What is TCode to Create Logical Files?
Thank you,
Madhu

Check this link also:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/db95e635c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
you can creat logical file path & name & assign a physical file path &
name using FILE transaction.
then in abap using function modules like
FILE_GET_NAME Assign the Physical File Name Using a
Logical File Name
FILE_GET_NAME_AND_LOGICAL_PATH Assign physical file names and get logical
path
FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH Generate a complete file name with file
name and logical path
get physical path & file name, so in case of change in dir structure don't
need to change ABAP.
Regards

What are .ds_store files and can they be removed?

What are .ds_store files and can they be removed?

Probably the easiest way is to use Onyx.
If you show invisibles you can see ds_store in each folder.
Open Terminal.app (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and copy & paste this command at the prompt...
sudo chflags nohidden
Press return.
The reverse is
sudo chflags hidden

What are shortest file names for outlook express and PSE11 to import photos pls

what are shortest file names for outlook express and PSE11 to import photos pls

Hi, Troubled. The size of the file name is pretty much irrelevant here to PSE, but to answer your question directly, you will be able to import a file that has only a single character as its file name (plus the file name needs to have the required extension, such as .jpg)

What are .dbf Files in $ORACLE_HOME.dbs?

It has been brought to my attention that my disk usage on my new system jumped from 22% to 68% last night. The culprit appears to be the .dbf files in $ORACLE_HOME.dbs. What are these files? Where can I go to learn more about them and what to expect of them?
Thanks,
Gregory

Wow, I should have known better than to start a thread and then go to lunch. Sorry I’m taking so long getting back to all of you.
This is Oracle 11g. Our current production system is 10g.
Here’s a little background info. We have a flat file base ERP. Each night we copy .txt files from the ERP to the Oracle server. We have external tables, table_name_load, mapped over the .txt files. At midnight, we run a massive collection of inserts into regular tables from the load tables. We then use this day-old set of data as the basis for reports and several ApEx applications.
You’re right, I can’t claim to have a good understanding of Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA). I’m a developer first and I’m working on DBA skills.
The files are all named something like:
arch1_191_653243844.dbf
arch1_192_653243844.dbf
arch1_193_653243844.dbf
etc.
There are over 300 of them and they are about 45M to 50M each. (The whole directory is about 14G.)
SID is oraprod
I specified locations for each of the three datafiles for our main tablespace (on three different drives), a secondary “hot” tablespace with the most frequently accessed datafile, three index datafiles for our main index tablespace, the “hot” index tablespace, temp, undo, and the control files.
The only things that I did not specify a location for are: sysaux; system; and users.
SQL> select name from v$datafile;
NAME
/oradb/app/oradata/oraprod/system01.dbf
/oradb/app/oradata/oraprod/sysaux01.dbf
/d02/oraprod/undo_tbs_1.dbf
/d02/oraprod/apex_main_tbs_1.dbf
/d03/oraprod/lib_hot_index_tbs_1.dbf
/d01/oraprod/lib_hot_tbs_1.dbf
/d01/oraprod/lib_main_index_tbs_1.dbf
/d02/oraprod/lib_main_index_tbs_2.dbf
/d03/oraprod/lib_main_index_tbs_3.dbf
/d02/oraprod/lib_main_tbs_1.dbf
/d03/oraprod/lib_main_tbs_2.dbf
/d01/oraprod/lib_main_tbs_3.dbf
/oradb/app/oradata/oraprod/users01.dbf
13 rows selected.
Based on what I’ve read in the 2 Day DBA, I put my flash recovery area all alone on /d04 and I have USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST set.
The files were created at two times: one during my initial data load yesterday; the other during the scheduled job this morning starting at midnight.
After checking our production system, I realize that we have a whole bunch of these same kinds of files in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs there also. However, I only have them from last night, not two separate times.
I’m concerned that the older files on the new system aren’t clearing out like the files on the production system are.

What are AL11 files and logical files

what are AL11 files and logical files

YES. these are the files that you use to load data.
Reg your question of how to see the data sources or view data, I replied yo your other question in other thread.
"is there any way by which we can check out that particular file in application server after the data has been loaded"
You can see this in data load monitor.
I dont know what do you mean by logical files.

What are .MXF Files?

What are .MXF Files? I got these files along with a bunch of .XML files. do they work together or something?
I'm trying to import these files to final cut pro but have had no luck and here are the error messages that I get:
ERROR: No translation templates matching the selected XML file were found. Unable to import this file.
"folder" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
Any suggestions??

Yeah, what Tallguy said. If you just have a bunch of MXF files all loosey-goosey in a folder then you will be HARD pressed to get those into FCP. If they have long names like 093HFYG0398DHS.MXF, they might be Avid capture files...and you will need the Avid codecs to import them. If they have names like 004GHV.mov, then they are P2 files shot with the HVX-200 or HPX-line of cameras. And unless they are a VERY specific file structure, inside a CONTENTS folder that contains 6 more folders, two of them being VIDEO and AUDIO...then you cannot import into FCP without third party applications.
So...what have you got there?
