What can I delete from the phone memory?

I have virtually nothing installed on c: (the phone) except for the nokia diagnostic thing.
But I have less then 800k free memory left.
When I didi the last system update I had 25mb free and since then I have applied a Ovi Maps, Contact and Music update all done through the phones SW update thing.
I have a couple of file explore apps installed so I can go anywhere on the phone memory and I was just wondering if there is anything I can safely delete.
I have a 5230 and I have done the usual of getting rid of the data inside the browser.

The only thing I have not done is delete some of the preinstalled apps and reinstall them using Ovi store to get them onto my memory card.
Looking at the list of apps this might get me a couple of MB back but what then?
The next SW update will just use it up again.
What I am looking for is the directory where the phone puts stuff so it can be reinstalled without downloading it again, that sort of thing, I can delete stuff and if I do need to reinstall well OK I need to redownload first but not a problem.

What can I delete from Extensions and System folder?

I just installed System 10.4 bundled with Classic Mode on my eMac. There seemed to be a lot of things that got installed that I won't need, such as: printer drivers, iChat, Quicken and World Book Encyclopedia. What can I safely delete from the Extensions folder that will not affect the operating system, keeping in that want to run on programs in Classic Mode? Is there anything else I can delete along these lines that will free up hard drive space? Is there anything I can safely delete from the System Folder?
I chose the Archive and install for installation. It says it created a "Previous System Folder". Can I delete this Previous System Folder to make it run faster?

A standard install loads you up with a pile of unneeded printer drivers, foreign fonts and foreign language support. Did you do the optional install that allows you to omit these space-eaters? If not, as this is a new install, you might consider reinstalling and exercising the optional or custom install options.
Back in the OS9 and earlier days when hard drives were tiny and RAM was expensive, it was a real help to rid one's self of the extra unused extensions. They had "open" and easily understood file names making it a no-brainer to drag those extensions to an "unused extension" folder outside the System folder.
Of all the eMacs made there were only two basic logic board architectures. The first would accommodate up to 1 GB RAM and the second could handle a total of 2GB RAM. Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button to launch System Profiler.
In Profiler's first screen you can tell which architecture you have. The second line in OS 104 is "Machine Model" followed by a code:
code "PowerMac4,4" --the first architecture, with USB 1.1 and a max RAm of 1GB
code "PowerMac6,4 --that later and desirable USB 2.0 logic board that can do 2GB RAM.
If you have a 4,4 the RAM for that model is listed here:
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=146&type=Memory
"PC-133" RAM is preferred in 4,4 eMacs for best function.
The same vendor has RAM for the 6,4 here:
http://eshop.macsales.com/MyOWC/Upgrades.cfm?sort=pop&model=223&type=Memory
I've bought 90 percent of my RAM from this vendor for the last decade and can vouch for their product quality and customer service.
The point is that maxxing out your RAM is not expensive and saves you a lot of grief from deleting some file with a cryptic OSX name that the computer really needs.

If you start deleting things in hidden system folders, or in an /Library folder you may very well mess up something.
That is why I say limit what you delete to your User folder only and only those files you've put or created there. Start messing with anything system or application related without know exactly what you are doing and you risk fubar'ing something.
There are in fact many places in the system areas that will appear to be redundant, but they are not so just because they have similar path or file names.
Also, how much free space do you have with just a freshly rebooted system? If your system does not have much RAM (given the apps your normally run on it), it may be creating quite a bit of swap space. That will be flushed out with a reboot, but if your system is RAM limited, then it will just grow back. In such a case, more RAM would help.
Use Activity Monitor to look at your RAM and swap use over a few days of normal use - look particularly at the page outs, as that will tell you how much virtual memory is actually being used on the drive. If page outs are high (thousands to 10's of thousands or more) your system is RAM limited, and your drive will be filling up with swap files.

How to keep your email on the server after deleting from the phone?

how to keep your email on the server after deleting from the phone?

If this is a POP mail account:
Settings > Mail.... > Your account > Advanced > Delete from server > Never.
However, this will risk re-downloading as new mail
IMAC accounts mirror what's on the phone in the server, so deleting from the inbox on the phone will either send it to the trans folder on the server or leave it in the inbox but marked as deleted (depending on the server)
Settings > Mail.... > your account > Advanced > Deleted Mailbox > On My iPhone Trash

N97 What can I delete from C: in order to make spa...

I am using Nokia Messaging with my Gmail account but, due to low memory problems on C, I am obliged to delete my incoming mails almost every hour in order to make space. Problem is that I cannot delete on the phone without sync which means that the mails are also deleted on the server which is not ok if I want to keep some mails for further reference.
So, I have to find more space on C but what can I delete without affecting the normal operation of the phone ?
For instance, can I delete OVI store or APIBridge ?
It is time that Nokia issues a new firmware allowing a better use of the memory !!!!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, first you could change messagememory - copy messages from C to E and delete them from C afterwards. Open the onboard browser and delete privacy data. About messages - you will have to set up your mailaccount again on E - delet whats on C.
All apps as facebook, fring, nimbuzz etc can be installed at E. Install everything possible on E. - You could delete ovistore and use it through the webbrowser instead. - I think Carman does that.

How do I get my macbook pro to recognize my android phone so I can transfer photos from the phone

how do I get my macbook pro to recognize my android phone to I can transfer photos from the phone

you could try this:
http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
there's something called "Airdroid" on the Play store (whatever that is)
or if your files are on an sd card, you may wish to use an sd card reader. Just plugging it in via USB might possibly work. There's also something called DoubleTwist (basically iTunes for Android, which will allow you to
sync your music , photos, videos, etc
hope one of these works for you

How to I delete an email address from the phones memory?

I have a friend who changed their email address and I want to delete their old address that keeps popping up from memory....how!?

Short of restoring the phone, you can't delete that from the autocomplete. Sorry.

What files can I delete from the hidden "Library" folder which is in my account folder?

I'm running out of space on Macintosh HD so I started moving things to my other computer (desktop so more storage). There should only be about 165 GB used out of 750 GB capacity however there is 459 GB used. So, I thought, where's all the space gone? Through using Finder's "Get Info" feature I tracked the 459 GB to Macintosh HD/Users/jacobhouse but in jacobhouse (my account's folder) I've stripped everything to a bare minimum. Amounts of storage used is as follows:
jacobhouse: 409.6 GB (other 50ish thats being used is applications)
Desktop: 142 KB
Documents: 500.1 MB
Downloads: 1.55 GB
Movies: 14.96 GB
Music: 19.02 GB
Pictures: 75.67 GB
Public: 44.4 MB
This adds up to approximately 111 GB if I'm correct in converting KB/MB to GB. Still I haven't managed to find the culprit until I tried showing hidden folders. When I told Finder to show all hidden folders and I sorted them by size, I found one named Library which was 409.6 GB.
As you can see by the Where in the screenshot above, this Library folder is not the one directly in Macintosh HD but rather it is in a User folder. My question now is which of the files in this Library folder am I able to delete to free up space? (contents of Library are below)
Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

HT201210 Ive updated to ios 6 using wireless. once completed it has asked me to plug my phone into itunes. i'm away from home without itunes what can i do ? the phone cant get past this screen

Ive just tried to install iOS 6 using wirless. Once completed it asks me to plug it into itunes.
I'm away from home at the moment so i dont have access to itunes. is there anything i can do ? the phone will not do anything !!
is there a way to get passed this or revert back ?

I have the same problem and we can't simply just restore from the backup. It says that I have to set up my iPad through restoring. So I tried restoring it in iTunes but it won't restore until I have to turn off this **** "Find My iPad" crap but I couldn't because the set up's not complete and it won't let me go to my settings unless I set it up. So basically it's asking me to go to my settings but before I could go to it I have to restore, and in order to restore I have to go to settings. Get where I'm at?
Please, Apple Tech people! Help this 14 year old girl on her period, PMS-ing, thinking about how I want to strangle however made this mistake of a set up, updating her iPad in 3 am in the morning cursing the day she even thought of updating. I seriously need to get out of this loophole. I don't want to use my other iPad that only has 16GB. I just wanted the pretty graphics I saw in my parent's iPad airs, I don't ask for anything more :''''(

If messages are deleted from an itouch that is synced the same Apple ID and phone number, how can you get them to delete from the phone as well?

how do I delete messages from both my itouch and my iphone

You have to delete the messages from the individual device. If you delete messages on one device, messages on the other are not automatically deleted.

HT201441 I just purchased this iphone from a person and they did not take it off of their icloud and did not give me their password and i can not get hold of them to get it what can i do? The phone is ready to be activated but i cant because of this.

I do not have the password or get it from the previous owner.

Then you are out whatever you paid for it.

IPhone 6 Music Sync puts music on phone but I can't play from the phone

I synced my new iPhone sync using my mac (latest software). It took forever for iTunes to sync putting only one playlist on the phone (900 songs). I got in the car, connected the phone and can access only 4 songs. It shows all the songs but they are greyed out and the phone wants to connect to the internet to play any of them. What setting do I have wrong.
PS, the iTunes is very sluggish on the sync. Very bad experience. MAC is a 24 inch early 2009 3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8 GB of 1067 memory running OS X Yiosemite version 10.10.
Help!!

Hi kojo627,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would try closing all your apps and restarting and resetting as good initial troubleshooting:
iOS: Force an app to close

iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
Then, using the steps in this article, try your download again:

My iPad is double downloading iTunes TV series shows and when I delete, the extra show does not delete from the available memory. I have lost almost 30GB of my 64 to this phantom shows.

I am losing available memory on my iPad (64 GB 3rd gen) and it appears to lose memory because some TV shows that I have downloaded from iTunes are appearing twice in my downloads. Both download, but when Only appear as 1 show on my "videos". After viewing the show, I delete, but the duplicate show appears to be still there somewhere (not visible anywhere) taking up the same amount of memory that showed before downloading. It reduces my available memory to download other shows. The general settings do not show any of these phantom shows taking any memory, but the total available is much, much less than what is showing for all usage such as music, videos, photos, apps, etc
Is it possible to delete a show from the download portion of iTunes if you have already seen a show and do not want to waste time or memory downloading again? The only way that I know is to let it download completely and the delete from "Videos".

John0618. Did you ever get a response or solution to problem? I have the same problem (starting about three months ago).

TA20637 I have a print job that I can not delete from the queue.

When I try it says "job is completed and can not be deleted from queue" but it seems to be stuck (and keeps reprinting rather than letting me print other documents). What do I do? I tried clearling the printer queue by turning the printer on and off but that is not dumping the cache.

So, you can't select it in the queue and Delete it the usual way...
If nothing else works, you may need to remove printer from the list in System Preferences Print & [Scan/Fax] pane. Then add it back.
And if NOTHING else works, you can also Reset printing system. This removes ALL printers from the list and resets the overall printing system. The command is in the same System Preferences pane. Right (Control) click on the list of printers and select Reset printing system. This time, you'll need to add all of your printers back.

After downloading from the camera can I delete from the camera?

I'm using Bridge CS3 to download images from my Canon XTi Digital Rebel. After download I would like to delete the image from the camera's storage disk.
I would like NOT to have to run the Canon's EOS utility to do this and would prefer doing it from within Bridge. But I can't find information regarding how to do this.
Using IMAC Leopard with SP.
Thanks,

This excerpt is from a long-gone post by the late, lamented author Bruce Fraser:
Bruce Fraser - 4:17pm Jun 14, 04 PST (#5 of 21)
Opening files directly from the camera is a bad idea for a variety of reasons*, and it most certainly isn't faster than using a FireWire or USB2 card reader.
         Drains the camera battery
         Runs the risk of the software you're using to open the images writing to the card and destroying the format
         Runs a small but significant risk of USB power frying the camera
         Slowest method known to mankind of getting images off a CF or SD card
