What does Private mean at the bottom of my iPhone screen when viewing my windows in Safari?

Private appears at the bottom of my iPhone screen while viewing open windows in Safari. What does it mean?

Touching Private will switch ON/Off private browsing mode.
Private Browsing
Private Browsing in iOS protects private information and blocks some websites from tracking your behavior. Safari doesn't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information.
Note: While Private Browsing is enabled, the Safari bars appear black or dark.

  • What does "other" mean at the bottom of the sync page? It is taking up a large amount of space on my phone.

    What does "other" mean at the bottom of the sync page? It is taking up a large amount of space on my phone.

    The other section contains temporary files, such as text messages, iMessages, voicemail, and other storage that is meant for small short term use.  If the other section of your phone has grown quite large and you can't account for what it could be then you may have experienced a syncing error to iTunes.
    I have experienced this problem frequently during my years with the iPhone.  The other portion of my phone grows with every sync of my phone to iTunes.  There comes a point where it takes up the majority of the space on my iPhone, making the device near unusable.
    When it grows to this extent is usually cased by an error during the syncing process.  Any information iTunes can't reconcile during the syncing process is saved out of sight, out of mind, in the 'other' section.
    You will never be able to see or recover this section unless you are very savvy and know how to poke around the archived iPhone back-up on your computer.  (if you are thinking of trying, stop.  It will not be worth your time and effort, or if using third party software, the money or spyware associated with it *cough* iTools *cough*).
    The only fix I have found that works is to back up your phone to iTunes, and preform a 'restore'.  This erases the content of your phone, and restores it to factory settings.
    That is you phone will be as if you took it fresh out of the box.  You can preform a restore from back-up through iTune, or iCloud to get your content back.
    Lo and behold your have trimmed the mystery meat.

  • What does radio mean in the contact selection instead of mobile or home, and why is it the default?

    What does radio mean in the contact selection instead of mobile or home, and why is it the default?
    When adding a new contact, the number shows up as "radio" instead of "mobile" or "home" and I have to change it every time. What does "radio" mean and why is it the default? can that be changed?

    Radio is a type of phone service offered by certain carriers.  Sprint for instance offers their Sprint Direct Connect Phones (a.k.a Nextel) which have built in Radios.  Short Wave or CB radio type features. Also referred to as Push to Talk services.

    Think a walkie talkie in your Phone.
    I get the Radio option when using Hotmail contacts as the default Contact creator. If I change it to iCloud or Gmail I no longer get the Radio option in the labels.
    If you are using a service such as Hotmail/Outlook.com for your contacts the radio option may be present.
    You can change which service is the default service to create new contacts with by going to Settings->Mail Contacts & Calendars->Contacts->Default Account
    The Radio label is just an identifier for those types of Phones so you know its a number for a radio phone.

  • What does instantiation mean? (The concept of instantiation)

    Please help me here,
    I have a hard time understanding the
    concept of instantiation. If an object
    is instantiated, what does it mean?
    Thanks.

    By the way,
    what is the difference between initializing an
    object and instantiating an object? public class A
         private int a;
         A(int x) //constructor with one argument
              a = x;
         public int getV()
              return a;
    Each class will have a constructor
    that will be invoked while instantiating an object.
    (If a constructor is not provided explictly
    the compiler will provide a default constructor
    that takes no arguments and initialize the data
    members with their default values.)
    The constructor is a special function that initialize
    the data members of an object.
    In the above example
    A obj1 = new A(10);
    will create memory for the object obj1 and then
    the constructor invoked will initialize the data member
    a to the value 10.
    >
    Does the instance variables and objest mean the
    same? Are they the same thing? No.
    Instance variable is different from an object.
    The variable 'a' is said to be an instance variable of the
    class A.
    The object obj1 is an instance of the class A.

  • HT1710 What does it mean if the blue screen appears and stays on with no further activity?

    My disk failed. Apple store replaced it with a disk with OS X. I tried to load from valid time machine backup. eventually I got a blue screen.
    What does this mean and what should I do?
    Here is more of this story:
    When I picked up my computer after the disk was replaced, I was told I could do a time machine recovery. After about 6 hours the recovery said it had less than a minute to go and was transferring "your" network settings. at 9 hours it said the same thing.
    I rebooted DVD to try to reload MAC OS X but it crashed with "INSTALL FAILED  MAC OS X could not be installed on your computer Click restart and try again"
    I did but it would not boot.
    I reloaded the disk utility and and it showed no problems but the next OS X install failed (hung).
    I then wrote zeros to all the disk (could not find a reformat command). This went tith out error.
    I restarted the OSX install and it appeared to work.
    I started the install from time machine again and it hung in the same place. (less than a minute remaining. The completion bar had a sliver of white at the end but was mostly blue)

    It just means it's hungup just before completing, we can get more info with Verbose boot...
    CMD+v keys on bootup...

  • What does it mean if the system "cannot find driver for console framebuffer"?

    I've just installed Solaris 7 on a SparcStation 20 with 256 MB RAM, 1 + 2 GB hard drives, 1xSuperSparcII. When I boot up it says "NOTICE:Cannot find driver for console framebuffer". I can't run the CDE, and I assume this is because there is no graphics driver. The graphics card (it's an add-on but by Sun) presumably needs a driver and I would have thought that this would have been included with the Solaris 7 CD. The whole thing worked fine when it was running Solaris 2.5.1 and now I've installed a new OS (initial as opposed to upgrade) it just don't work. Any ideas?

    The "output-device" parameter may not be set properly in Open Boot Prom(OBP) and hence during installation, the driver may not be installed. To fix this, try the following steps.
    1. Note down the current value for output-device. This value is to be restored later.
    printenv output-device
    2. Set the "output-device" parameter to "screen" in OBP
    setenv output-device screen
    3. Perform a reconfiguration boot using the command "boot -r"
    4. The error will not appear. Verify that /dev/fb refers to a device link.
    5. Go to ok prompt again and restore the output-device to its original value (as noted in step 1). The reason for doing this is that some resolution parameters would have been set earlier for your output-device.
    6. Reboot the system again. The error may appear again but since the device link is already created, the CDE will work.
    Please contact us if there are any issues.
    Thanks
