What is taking up all my memory on ipad?
I have 2nd generation iPad. I have deleted down to 5 apps and 6oo pictures. It's say I have only 800 megabytes left of memory. But each of apps only use 5-50 megabytes. It says I have used 13gb used. How can this be. What is using so much. What can I do?
How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
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.
Cheers, Tom

What is taking up all my memory?
My computer keeps maxing out of memory. Is there an easy way to find out what is taking up all the memory without hitting the command + i keys for each program or purchasing such a program?

Thanks.
Cmd-I does not show memory. I think you are confusing memory with HD usage.
Memory is RAM. HD space is a completely different animal, having nothing to do with memory.
When you say your computer is maxing out of memory, exactly what to you mean? RAM or HD space -
How can I tell what is taking up all my memory?
My macbook has around 75 GB of memory and I have around 5 GB free. I don't keep large amounts of music or pictures/videos on here. I don't have a ton of apps either. I have a dropbox folder that is around 6GB. How can I figure out where all the space is being taken up?
Well, start by highlighting everything in Macintosh HD.
Then on the keyboard hit Command + i, or just right click on a folder / sidebar, and click Get Info, 1 by 1, or all at once. Your choice.
This will bring up the Get Info, telling you the size of the individual folders.
You can then move into the biggest one & narrow it down even more. -

What is taking up all the space on the hard drive?
My 500GB iMac is only 18 months old, and only has 115GB available. The two big users of space for me are iTunes, and iMovie, which between them account for 175 to 200GB. But what is taking up all the rest? I have a lot of photos in iPhoto, but am not sure how to find the usage of those, and doubt they account for a huge chunk. I use lots of apps, but do not have a significant number of additional programs, nor any presentations, spreadsheets, or other big users of space.
I would appreciate any suggestions for places to look for bug users of space. Also, are there any programs as there are in Windows for disk optimization?I didn't mention iTunes, because it shouldn't have it's own trash. iMovie has it's own trash for what you trim from the original content when creating a video. This allows for undoing changes. Once the project is complete, you probably don't need those deleted clips - and they can take up a lot of space. I am not aware of this behavior changing in the new iMovie, but it may not have the same interface for clearing the trash as the previous versions.

In itunes my iphone shows up as having nearly 8GB of "Other"...what is taking up all this space?
On the iphone itself under settings, general, usage it indicates 12.7GB used and only 840MB available. I have one app (Audible) that is taking up 1.6GB, photos&camera take up 636MB, Spotify takes up 495MB, everything else takes up less less than 100MB each and totalling less than 2.5GB.
So if Audible is taking up 1.6GB and Spotify is taking up 636MB and all other apps take up 2.5GB this combined totals around 5GB. I have a 16GB iphone 4s.
16GB minus 5GB (my calculated usage) equals 11GB remaining. Allow for some required space utilization (let's say 3GB) and that leaves 8GB remaining. Why does my phone indicate 840MB available? That seems to equate to the amount shown in itunes that indicates 8GB of "other".
What is this 8GB of "other" that is taking up so much storage space on my iphone?
Thanks in advance.

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup...
But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

What is taking up all my space?
I have an 16 GB iPad mini that says its using 6 GB of space, but my apps don't even come close to that amount of space. How can I find out what is taking up all my space? I know people will say to back up my iPad and restore, but I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7, so that is not an option for me. Thanks so much in advance!
If you are still on iOS 6 on your mini, you may have gotten the auto-pushed iOS 7 update download on your device. Check your device under Settings>General>Software Update. If you have a button there labeled "Install" for the iOS 7 update, the update has been pushed to your device by Apple without your knowledge or permission, then extracted from an approx 1GB download file to a ~3.1GB installation package which is now using ~3.1GB of your storage space. It happened to my iPad mini along with an 8GB iPhone 4 (~2.5GB - 3GB of space robbed from an 8GB device) as well. The actual size of the update after extracted can vary between ~2.5GB to over 3.1GB depending on the device.

What's taking up all my iCloud storage
I don't know what's taking up all my iCloud storage even though I only have two items in there that total to 14.1 mb only.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
I note you have been using back up. Data that has been written to iCloud storage and has since been deleted can still show up on your usage even though the space is still available. I'd monitor the situation and if adding new content still results in your available space being removed, I'd contact support. -

ITunes is taking up all my memory when I sync my iPhone
I backed up my iPhone because I am having issues with iOS 5.1. It seems like many have the same issues regarding the upgrade.
Anyways, unfortunately, my pc is short on memory, and it seems like iTunes is taking up all the little memory as I try to restore from my back up. I tried freeing up my hard drive, but whatever I free up is gets all taken by iTunes as I repeatedly try backing up. Is there a way to free up all that has been taken away by iTunes? I know I can remove the backup I did, but I don't think that is the issue here.
I hope somebody understands what I am going through and help me restore my phone from backup.
I have already tried to look for my backup in my computer to copy/transfer to my external hard drive, but couldn't find it.
Please let me know.. Thx!Well, start by highlighting everything in Macintosh HD.

Click on the Apple in the upper left-hand corner, then on About This Mac>More Info, then on the top of that window, click on Storage. It will show you a graphic indicating what is taking up your storage:

How do I stop Safari taking up ALL active memory?
When Safari is closed, I have about 530 MB free system memory. I open Safari, and over the next 5 minutes it takes over all free memory, until I have about 40 MB free and 490 active. This means that all other programs crawl and freeze, and Safari constantly hangs. Force-quitting and emptying the cache at least once a day makes better, but only a little bit.
But how do I stop Safari doing this??

How do I find what is taking up all the space in my iMovie library?
If I find the my iMovie library in Finder, it's total size is a reported 15.59GB and, as far as I can tell, I cannot open it in Finder to see what files are taking up that space.
If I look at my iMovie library in iMovie, it apparently contains one event, which contains one movie.
If I select the move as then go to File -> Reveal in Finder, I can see all the folders and files associated with the event and they come to a grand total of 5.95 GB.
So, how do I find out what movies, clips or projects are taking up the other ~ 10GB in the iMovie library folder?
I'm using iMovie 10.0.5When I did that, I could still only see the same contents as shown in the third screenshot above. However, minutes after doing the "Show package contents", iMovie seems to have figured out that it didn't have 15GB of data in its library after all and updated its size accordingly. So, problem solved for now but I still find iMovie to be painful to use and I will probably avoid doing so as much as I can.
