Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion's Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

Why is my contact list now full of duplicates (and quadruplicates) and what can I do about it?
Why is my contact list now full of duplicates (and quadruplicates) and what can I do about it?
Most (but not all) of the entries are duplicated, and some are re-doubled. I suspect this is related to using my iPhone (5S) and my iPad (2nd gen), both using IOS7 and icloud.
I really don't want to have to delete hundreds of contacts manually, and I'm concedrned they'd just reapear if I did.http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4147

What can I do about my battery life?
Ok so I know that my iphone is really old. I bought it in 2009 and it has been a really good phone until about 6 months ago when the battery life went downhill. My phone will not hold a charge for more than 5 min. I will let it charge for a few hours and the battery will be full but when I take it off the charger, it takes 5 min for the phone to die. What can I do about this? I've tried restoring it to factory settings and that hasn't worked.
The battery is shot.Lithium batterys have a limited number of recharge cycles. Yours is shot.You would have to have it replaced.I personally don't think it would be worth the cost to replace it on a 3g,especially since you can get the 3gs for free with a new contract.

TS3297 What can I do about error 42408?
What can I do about error 42408? I can't download my purchased and matched music from the store.
Ruleo,
It is common to have a reading on a disconnected channel. Generally speaking for measurement devices, un-connected voltage inputs tend to float around to either the positive or negative supply rail of the measuring device and current inputs will float around the 0 mA range. This is due both to device design and the real world behavior of components as opposed to the ideal behavior model. Some devices such as the FP-TC-120, will have circuitry to cause un-connected outputs to go to a specific level (in the case of the FP-TC-120, unconnected outputs will always read full scale of the range).
When you say you are getting a reading on that channel, is it a reading that is close to mininum scale, or is it a reading in the middle of the
scale, i.e. 10.2 mA? If the channel is not reading close to minimum scale, it is possible that the channel has been damaged. On the FP-AI-111, you can use a DMM to measure between the Iin pin and any of the C or Com pins. First disconnect any external wiring to the channel, then hook in the DMM. The resistance (within the accuracy of the DMM) should be exactly 100 Ohms. If the resistance is greater than 100 Ohms, then the channel was damaged by an over-current condition that exceeded the published specifications of the module (30 mA). In that case, the module will have to be sent to National Instruments for repair.

Everytime I try to start FaceTime it says: "There has occured a problem with FaceTime. You have to stop FaceTime and start it again" What can I do about this?
Same problem as well as the network failure. Apple Care was suggesting a full reinstall and I declined. I thought it worked once but I can't be sure ... it might have been Skype which works perfectly.

I have upgraded my itunes to 1.4 on my windows xp service pk 3 system and now it won't recognize my ipod and let me sync it half of the time. What can I do about this?
It's not a "Reset" (except for the Reset of the iPod and possibly powering off the computer). It's meant to be a test to see if there might be interference between connected USB devices, or if the total power draw of all connected USB devices is too high for your computer's USB bus. If it always works when the iPod is the only connected device, but only sometimes works when you connect it with other devices, it may be one of those issues. When it works, the set of connected (or active) devices is OK.
If this is the case, you can go through a process of elimination to determine which device or combination of (active) devices causes the problem. NOTE: If one of your devices is an external hard drive that gets power from the USB port, power draw may be higher if it is currently active (spinning). Also, the power draw of the iPod may be higher when it is charging its battery and/or syncing.
Or are saying that the connected USB devices does not seem to matter, but doing a computer shut down always makes the iPod connect immediately after startup, but then the problem returns later? -

I have forgotten my passcode on my iPad. It was synced to a different computer that I no longer have. What can I do about this and if it at all possible without losing everything that was on it. Thanks for the help.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I have an ipod touch and now it doesnt sync properly. It gets to stage 1 of 3 of syncing( Which is 'backing up') Then it stops and itunes closes. Why wont this sync and what can I do about it?
Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod Touch, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Restart the Computer. This sometimes happens to me when I keep my Windows 7 on Sleep, and I try to sync my Ipod
Make sure you have the latest version of Itunes
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.
Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.

so I've been using my ipod touch for three months already. Then I noticed that the more I use my camera, which is not very often, I only use it to snapshot wonderful events in my life, the more "crashing" becomes often in my ipod. There are several times that I will repeatedly click my camera button just to open it as it keeps on crashing. my software is up to date, iOS 6.1.3 and I thought that updating it and restarting it will do the trick. Also, the panorama feature of my camera is kind of defective, It's very dark and the images keep in getting ragged on edges. Like it's been cut with sheers or any sharp material. What can I do about this? Is there any way for me to get this fixed?
