What is considered Data in a Data Plan and how can I reduce data usage?

All the above, if u want to reduce try having your phone on wifi when you can like at home.  Also setting your major downloads only when you connec to wifi like updates etc

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • I just plugged my iphone in to download some pix to my computer and my phone is now showing a plug with the itunes icon and its telling me I have to restore my phone and will lose all my data. *** is going on and how can I go back?

    i just plugged my iphone in to download some pix to my computer and my phone is now showing a plug with the itunes icon and its telling me I have to restore my phone and will lose all my data. *** is going on and how can I go back?

    "I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
    Correct.  it does not magially appear in other places.  It will only be where you put it.
    "I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where  I sync everything. "
    Correct as well.  Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

  • I just updated to ios5 but now can't sync because it's telling me my "other" section in the overview has grown to 10.2gig?!  What does that "other" section in the overview include and how can I reduce it to get my phone to sync??

    Thanks for the help.  The restore seems to have solved the problem.  I had a bit of a panic attack when things started going haywire and the Apple 'Support' told me to call back during business hours!

    It doesn't matter when you installed antivirus software; if you have it on your computer it will frequently block access from applications to sites it does not know about. A sync does not require access to a site not on your computer; an upgrade clearly does. So if you have never jailbroken any device you do not need to be concerned about your hosts file, but you DO need to temporarily disable your antivirus during the update process.
    The hosts file is an operating system file on all computers that overrides DNS lookup. In order to jailbreak or hack an iDevice the programs that do it need to redirect iTunes so it does not go to the Apple activation server, but instead goes to the hacking program for activation instructions. It does this by adding a record to the hosts file that bypasses the DNS lookup for gs.apple.com. But you don't have to be concerned about this.

  • WHAT DOES THIS HOT SYNC ERROR MESSAGE MEAN AND HOW CAN I FIX THE PROBLEM??

    "THE HOT SYNC OPERATION WAS INTERRUPTED.  SOME OF YOUR DATA WAS NOT BACKED UP."
    "(ERROR:  EASNotify.dll failed a confirmation query and cancelled the sync operation).
    HotSync Error:  An application cancelled synchronization or failed to respond to a HotSync notification.  Please ensure that you are not currently editing data using applications such as Palm OS Desktop of Install Tool.  (8009)"
    I have spent hours upon hours trying to figure out what is wrong and why I cannot complete a hot sync with my computer.  I have done a hard reset and reinstalled the palm desktop software numerous times with no luck.  I bought a book on the palm.  No mention in the book about this particular problem.
    Can anyone out there help me with this problem???  I would be forever grateful!!

    To check which applications are installed on your palm, you can click on the home button on your palm and make sure it says "all" on the top right of your screen. This will show you all the apps installed on your palm. Look through all the applications listed there and see if there is anything extra. You can list them here and I will tell you if there is anything that didnt come with your device when you purchased it.
    You will not need the palm cd to reinstall everything again after you do a hard reset because all the info will be backed up on your computer from your sync. You stated that all the information is on your computer after you sync'd so you dont have to worry about losing it. Once you sync again after performing the hard reset, you will be able to get all the info back again on your palm.

  • What is the default swapiness of Arch? And how can I change it?

    Actually, i'm only assuming my swap is even working, because it never seems to use it, except when I hibernate/suspend.
    Does Arch use a "swapiness" value like Ubuntu does? What is it by default? I think Ubuntu's was either 60 or 80.

    I'm not sure what the default swappiness is, since I've modified mine. If you've got a system installed and haven't touched anything you can find the default swappiness by doing
    cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
    as root. To adjust the swappiness, put
    vm.swappiness = N
    in the file /etc/sysctl.conf where N is between 1 and 100 (I believe.) Lower swappiness means that Linux will require higher memory pressure before it starts swapping things out.

  • When I click on almost any picture, in any album, to enlarge it, the pic starts to enlarge and then all I get is a black screen with a large exclamation point in the center.  What have I done to my iPhoto program, and how do I fix it?

    Recently, whenever I click on almost any of my pictures, in any album, in order to enlarge that photo, it starts to enlarge but then,
    very quickly I get a black screen with a large white exclamation mark in the middle.  And no full sized photo. Boo!
    What did I do to my iPhoto program, and how can I fix it?
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    Mike H.

    I'm sorry.  Too old to understand this stuff.  I'm sure this seems real stupid to you.  But I have no idea how one
    would "right click on the Original iPhoto Library" (I know, I know, 'as stated").
    Do I right click on the symbol in the dock??  Or open it first and then, . .  I can't find a way to right click on the word iPhoto in the top bar.
    Or should I open the program you had me download.  There I can find something called "original iPhoto library".
    When I "right click" on that I get some options.  None of them are "original folders".  There's "reveal library in finder", and "dupilicate library and "sort libraries".  I have no idea if any of these are what you want, or if any of these might change something.
    When I clicked on "reveal library in finder" earlier on it showed me the copy of the photo library that I made a while ago, sitting right where I know it is on my desktop.  And if I click on that symbol it shows me all the pictures again.  Just like in my regular iPhoto files - all the thumbs are there, but most can't be opened to full sized.
    Are we making progress here?  I'm sure this is frustrating to you.  This is just pictures of family.  Even the thumbs are nice to look at.  But this is nothing critical - like work related or anything.
    Thanks.

  • What information is listed in the App Store and hot can I change it?

    Hi,
    Finally I have submitted my app for review.  However, the intent was to transfer it under company name which did not happen. For a number of reasons I do not want my personal information to be displayed/associated with the app.
    What information would be displayed with the app and how can I change it? During submission I have not seen anything that would allow me to change/set any of that information.

    If want a company name to display, you need a company developer account.
    Contact Apple for details.

  • How can I keep data costs low? And what is Data Roaming?

    Having trouble staying within data limits and having to pay a fee any suggestions for how to avoid this??? Also, does Data Roaming affect anything?

    Well data roaming can seriously affect your bank balance!  It is what you use when wanting to use data services abroad and can be very, VERY expensive, depending on where you're from and where you are.  Best to keep it switched off when abroad apart from when you definitely want to use it, and use wi-fi as much as possible.
    If you are generally struggling to say within your data limit, then maybe it is not enough - how much is it?  Avoid downloading music, podcasts, apps and app updates on cellular data - stick to wi-fi for that.  But it may be that you need to up the data amount in your plan, and altering the plan may be cheaper than paying every month to top up.
