What is stored in other area on iphone5

What all is located in "other area on iphone5" besides the operating system?

Hey drk249,
Great question. The following article provides more information about the "Other" storage category:
Understanding capacity on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1867
iTunes divides used content into categories indicated on the bottom of the screen when you have selected your device.
- Audio: Includes songs, audio podcasts, audiobooks, voice memos, and ringtones
- Video: Includes movies, music videos, and TV shows
- Photos: Includes Camera Roll contents, Photo Stream, and Photo Library
- Apps: Includes installed apps and their content
- Books
- Other: Everything else, such as contacts, calendars, messages, emails and their attachments, Safari Offline Reading List, settings, and other system resources.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT1451 I have the 128gb iPad 4 but for some reason the category other (yellow) says I have 64.26 gb being used. What is stored under other category on the iPad?

What is stored under "other" category on the iPad?

The long and short of it is that you will probably have to restore your iPad. That giant "other" space is a sign of a corrupt file from a sync, I am pretty sure, but I am quite sure that the way to resolve it is to restore the iPad.
You can search the discussion site for similar threads but I think you will find that a restore is the way to correct it. Read this one.

How can I determine what is stored under "other" on my iphone

When I synch my iPhone 4S, there is a fair amount of memory tied up in "other", but I don't know what is in there. How can I see and manage what is being stored in "other"?

Its going to continue to happen,
You can do a restore using iTunes which will remove a big chunk of the Other stuff. It also includes things like email, and apps that didn't download properly.
I did a restore as new and then loaded my apps, music, etc and got back a couple gigs of room.
the easies thing you can do is not to keep too much email saved on your phone. I only keep a couple of weeks back and that saves me a lot of room. I can always get on a computer and log into my email accounts if I need something older than that.

What is stored in 'other' on iPad

In looking through the capacity bar for my iPad while connected to iTunes, there is a category called other. What is typically stored under that category?
Regards,
RPH

"Other" includes data such as contact information and photos assigned to contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cookies/history, notes created with the Notes application, SMS messages, email stored locally or cached, and 3rd party application data created and stored by the application, Calendar entries, and that type of content.
Data that is associated with apps but not the apps, books, media or photos themselves.

HT1535 What exactly is stored under "OTHER" on your iPhone that you only see when it's connected to iTunes?

What exactly is stored under "OTHER" on your iPhone that you only see when it's connected to iTunes?

Ok, here is how the story have ended for my iPhone 4S.
I took the phone to the genius bar 500-km far from my town. And they told me to wait 20 mins and then they asked what's wrong with the phone. They first thought the battery is dead. But then they changed the battery with a sure-it's-working-battery. But no luck. And told me that "logic board" has gone (why? -no explanation. it just happens).
And then they checked the warranty and noticed that it was expired 29 days ago (the phone was bought from Chicago and I'm in Europe now). Since it's expired, I'm told that it can't be replaced with no cost. I should pay 200 Euros to get a "new" iPhone 4S (you know what is "new" means, refurbished). Or I could buy a brand-new-iPhone5 for 600 Euros.
I'm not rich person and I decided to go with the refurbished one. So, as summary,
- 13 months iPhone is dead. (~500$)
- a refusrbished phone with 3 months of warranty (200 Euro)
- Lost data (I admit that this is my fault not to care about the backup but after phone is dead, I didn't have any way to save data).
I can say that, if you have too much money, yes, Apple products are worth to buy.

Where are my photos located if I use LR CC. What is stored in the Cloud?

Where are my photos located if I use LR CC. What is stored in the Cloud?

With the desktop version of Lightroom CC, nothing is stored in the cloud, nothing can be accessed directly by Lightroom in the cloud, and the Lightroom CC program is installed locally on your computer. The creative cloud is used as a delivery system to provide you with updates and to validate that you are keeping your creative cloud account current. If you decide to do so, you can create collections of your images and share them in the cloud. And if you have a supported mobile device you can install Lightroom Mobile on that device and work on those images that have been shared in the cloud. But basic operation of Lightroom CC is no different than it has ever been.

Why can't I open emails in my inbox that arrived before today - I can open today's messages and I can open earlier emails tha are stored in other folders

Yesterday I had a message that I could not "get mail" because my inbox was full and that I should delete some files or compact. It only had about 20 messages in it but I had ignored suggestions that I compact for a while so I went to the menu and hit compact. Then I could get mail and I could open it while it was in my inbox.
This morning I got mail and I was able to look at it and I deleted quite a lot. A little later (I had restarted my computer in the meantime) I wanted to look at an email in my inbox. It appeared to open but had no content at all. Similarly when I looked at the message at the bottom of the screen it did not show there at all. The only messages in my inbox that I can look at are the two that arrived today.
I am able to open messages that are stored in other folders. But moving a message from the inbox to a folder does not make it able to be opened.
Another odd thing; in the inbox, one message that I can open shows the wrong sender - the sender of a message I had been moving to see if it could be opened if it were stored elsewhere; but the sender is correct when I open the message.
It is all very weird.

This sounds like you do have a corrupted Inbox file.
First of all create a backup of your profile folder.

Then try to repair Inbox.

Running a Mac G3, having been using a Laserwriter Select 360, but it and two others are now dead. What is the next best or better printer to use?

I am running a desktop beige Mac G3 and have been using a Laserwriter Select 360, but it an two others are now dead.
What is an equal or better printer to use with the Mac?

Hey, BD, I looked at Brothers last night in connection to this questiona and it looks like their newest/current laser print-only units go back to 10.4 but no further.
Brother is the best hope but the OP may need to look for an older model still in stock. For example, for our older Brother HL5250DN, they still show OS9 drivers:
http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/download_top.html?r eg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=hl5250dn_all
Gary, web-check for stores that still have older models on teh shelf. You can also look at "newer-but-not-new" and then use the Brother site to check for OS9 drivers.
Founds some of my model on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=Brother+HL-5250DN
We paid US$199 for ours new about seven years ago. It's been a real workhorse and trouble-free. Well, except for the time my wife tried to feed it a odd paper stock that was not on the printer's official diet!
A Beige G3 consideration: The Big Beige doesn't come with USB ports. You must add a PCI USB adaptor card, and the ones that worked in the Beige are harder to find today.
However, the Beige has built-in ethernet so if you get a printer with an ethernet connector, you will be in bisiness with neither the expense of an extra adaptor card nor the occasional buttheadedness of USB printing. The "N" in our Brother model designates it as a network printer so it has an ethernet port. Many others do also.

My MacBook Air's storage is full. When I look at the storage, most of what is taking up the space is "other". I am not sure what these application or documents are but would like to reduce this so that I can store more pictures to edit. Any advice?

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.

Hi, MPiaM.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on if you are experiencing an issue with syncing photos via iTunes or iCloud to provide a better answer. However, here are a couple troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

Photo's stored as "other" since iOS 8.3 upgrade.

Since upgrading to iOS 8.3, my photos are being stored as "other". I show 5993 photos in the photos category, but only show 185.9 MB being used. My "Other" shows 4.45 GB being used. I have reinstalled (restored) my iPhone several times (clean install - not restore from backup). I have also deleted my iPod Photo Cache that is stored in "MY PICTURES." Nothing is fixing this. I am using Windows 7 and have the latest iTunes.
Before I re-add my photos, my "other" is less than 1 GB.
My Music is synced fine.
Also, My phone's battery life is horrible, consuming as much as 10% per hour without any use. Phone is VERY WARM to the touch.
As with the photo's issue, even doing a complete restore of iOS (setting phone up as new) does NOT fix either problem.
Apple did a diagnostic, but nothing was found... NOTHING!
Any ideas on what is going on or how to fix this?
Also, note that even going back and doing a restore from back up from a much older back up from before this problem existed does not help.
Of course, my phone (a 5S) is just a month or so past its warranty, so, Apple will do nothing. I am starting to think this is their way of getting me to upgrade early with AT&T and forcing me off my unlimited data plan... Don't tell me that Apple and AT&T wouldn't team up on this, one, Apple gets to add to their sales numbers, and AT&T gets to "upgrade" me to a newer plan... which they have been trying to get me off my "grandfathered" plan for quite some time.

I take that back, music is messed up too! Some of the "default" playlists, such as "recently added" , "Recently played" and "Top 25 Most Played" are listed on iTunes and were always on my phone... but since iOS 8.3... they are gone... Still in iTunes, but not on device.

What is stored in a transaction log file?

What does the transaction log file store? Is it the blocks of transactions to be executed, is it the snapshot of records before beginning the
execution of a transaction or is it just the statements found in a transaction block? Please advice.
mayooran99

yes, it will store all the values before and after that were modified. you,first, have to understand the need for transaction log, then, it will start to become apparent, what is stored in the transaction log
before the transaction can be committed, sql server will make sure that all the information is hardened on the transaction log,so if a crash happens, it can still recover\restore the data.
when you update some data - the data is feteched into memory and updated- transaction log makes note of it(before and after values etc).see, at this point, the changes were done but not physically present in the data page, they present only in the memory.
so, if crash happens(before a check piont\lazy writer could be issued), you will that data...this where transaction log comes handy, because all this information is stored in physical file of transaction log. so, when your server comes back on, if the transaction
is committed, the transaction log will roll forward this iinformation
when a checkpoint\lazy writer happens, in simple recovery, the transaction log for that txn is cleared out, if there are no other older active txns.
in full recovery you will take log backups, to clear that txn from the transaction log.
in transaction log data generally is faster because 1. it is written sequentialyl...it will track the data pageno, lsn and other details that were modified and makes a note of it.
similar to data cache, there is also transaction log cache, that makes this process faster.. all transactions before being committed, it will wait to make sure everything related to the txn is written to the transaction log on disk.
i advice you to pick up - kalen delaney, sql internals book and read - recovery an logging chapter..for more and better understanding...
Hope it Helps!!

What is stored in 7410 printer memory?

I am trying to understand two things. 1.) What is stored in the memory of the 7410 all in one; and 2.) does unplugging it clear the memory?.

The Officejet 7410 memory includes the number of pages printed, scanned and copied (but not any of the actual content). There is also a fax log that contains information on what numbers have been called (or received from), the duration, the number of pages and the date.
You can clear the fax memory by resetting the printer - turn off the printer and unplug the power, then plug it back in while holding the # and 6 buttons in. This will eventually indicate "Semi-full reset" on the screen, release the # and 6 buttins and press OK. After the reset you can press setup, 2, 3 to print a FAX report to verify there is no FAX information left.
If you are disposing of the printer make sure you also remove any memory cards inserted into the camera card slots in the front.

HT3819 What's the difference, other than the 24.99, between Home Sharing (free) and iTunes Match (24.99)?

What's the difference, other than the 24.99, between Home Sharing (free) and iTunes Match (24.99)?

Home sharing allows you to share content between computers and devices on your wifi network - so if you have your library on your computer's iTunes and you want to access it on your iPad then both your computer and iPad have to be turned on, iTunes open on your computer, and both need to be connected to the same wifi network.
iTunes Match will upload your music library to the cloud (including music copied from CDs and from other sources) allowing you to accces it from your computer or iPad without requiring your main computer to be on - and if you have access to a network when not at home you can download or stream music from it. It's also acts as a second backup of your content (you should still maintain your own backup of your library).
iTunes Match, from http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ :
Once your music is in iCloud, you can play it from any of your devices. Just browse the complete list of all your music stored in the cloud and tap to play to it. You can store up to 25,000 songs in iCloud (more if songs are purchased from the iTunes Store), but only what you play or download is stored on your device. Tap the iCloud download button to download music from an artist, album, or playlist. So you have immediate access to a huge music library without having to worry about the storage space on your device.
But whether it's worth it only you will know. Personally I don't use it, I keep and maintain my own backup of my content and sync it to my devices so that I don't have to rely on being online to access what I might want to listen to,
