    when synching, what is in the orange category of "other" on the bar at the bottom of the screen

    "Other" is miscellaneous stuff that is typically about 1GB.  If your "Other" is much larger than 1GB, you should restore your device to remove the excess.  Often that involves cleaning corrupted files.

    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.

  • What is "Other" in my capacity bar?

    Hi All,
    So, I'm loading UP and Star Trek (hi-def) and 4.11 GBs are showing up as "other" - can anyone tell me what that is... I only have 40 gigs (minus the obvious system OS.) Can anyone elucidate what those 4 GB's are...? I do have itunes extras clicked... can that be it... that kind of *****; I paid a hefty sum for those movies and would like the extras.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    The "other" after updating to 3.0.1. in my case was close to 30GB, which disappeared after reset. After updating to 3.0.1. I am having trouble with iTunes sync. After another restart I have now 1 movie 1,7GB + other 2,27GB...
    TV is not recognizing handbrake formats which were playing fine before reset.
    I am also wondering if the "other" is be related to iTunes "LP" and "movie extras" -features???
    I do not have any such purchases, though.
    I guess I'll wait for another update for TV to solve the problem in civilized matter instead of spending free evenings banging my head against the wall.

  • In past versions of CVI, using OpenFile with no path meant to look in the local path (in other words the install directory). Is there a way to do this in CVI 2013?

    I use an .ini file to allow the users to change the bootup preferneces for the program. In the past that file lived in the install directory and OpenFile could cheerfully find the file and apply the preferences. In CVI 2013, the program seems to need an implicit path to the file. Is there a way around this?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm not using CVI2013 yet, but in any case you can build up a full pathname for a file in the application folder using GetProjectDir and MakePathname commands at runtime.
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  • When I open bookmarks the actual sites sometime do not show just the black screen with the safari icon while others show the actual site how can I see the actual content

    I use Safari Mt Lion and when I view Bookmarks, the entire list of bookmarks show uo but on the display portion only the black screen witht the Safari icon shows while other bookmarks show the actual photo of what that bookmark is so unless I click on the bookmark on the blank ones I can not see what it is, it is inconvient because I have hundreds of bookmarks and I can not remember what I was bookmarking it for unless I can see it

    Hi
    I understand  - sorry to have missed your point before now.
    Some sites don't display those previews in safari - secure pages (https) for one, and also sites that are redirected.
    Taking the example in your screenshot, the site http://fabulouslyartsy.blogspot.com/ actually redirects to http://www.fabulouslyartsy.com/ and Safari (rather annoyingly) doesn't 'follow' the redirection & show the appropriate preview. See the image below - the blank preview is for the blogspot address, and the one visible to the right is from going directly to the site.

  • Does anyone know how I can put a password so only I see the emails on my iPad but leave the rest of the unit open for others in the family to use?

    Does anyone know how I can put a password on my ipad2 so only I can see the emails on the unit but others can use the rest of it?

    Hi
    Unfortunately, no. There is a workaround however.
    You can go to the Mail Settings, and enter an incorrect password for the account (or no password). This way, everytime it tries to check for mail, it will prompt for password.
    However, this won't stop people from opening the Mail App and reading the e-mails that are already saved to the device

  • I want to edge to a phone other than the one that I am "eligible" for

    I am very frustrated with the service that I have received lately. I currently own an iPhone 5 and have an upgrade in July. The phone works fine other than the short battery life and little storage left due to the fact that the new software updates get larger as they go. I became eligible for early edge at the beginning of February. When I went to take a look at my options I was told that I would only be able to edge to a droid max. I have had iPhone's since 2010 when I first got a smart phone, my entire platform runs off of Apple and I have absolutely no desire to change that now.
    I called customer service to see if anything could be done to change this option and was told that she could not do anything at the moment, but if I called back in the middle of March that I would be able to get an iPhone 6 and that she would notate my account saying just that. I waited like she told me and called back yesterday. I was then told that my account was notated "if she calls back in a COUPLE OF MONTHS that she will be able to get an iPhone 6." I'm sorry, but there is a big difference between a couple of weeks and a couple of months, especially considering that in a couple of months I will be able to upgrade my phone anyway which would mean there would have been no point in calling back if that's what I had been told originally. Why would I be told one thing and be specifically told when to call back, and then have her write down something else completely? It is very frustrating to be told one thing and then to essentially be told that I am incorrect because something else was written down. I have been a Verizon customer since 2007 and stayed with Verizon even when I moved to my own plan in 2013 and the fact that I am being given the run around is extremely frustrating and annoying. I am very dissatisfied with the service that I have received and with the fact that this is my fourth time dealing with the same topic.

    Yes, you got the phone which was currently eligible for Early Edge at the time. This changes from time to time. When the iPhone 6/6+ was first released those were the ONLY phones you could purchase on Early Edge. This was for September and October of 2014. You would not have been able to purchase any other phone with Early Edge at the time. At the time, this made a lot of android phone owners angry, just as it is making the OP(an iPhone owner) angry now. Then it was the Droid Turbo ONLY, then it was....
    One of the requisites AS LISTED ON THE EDGE PAGE is that your line must be eligible for an upgrade. Verizon lifts this requirement IF you want to purchase a specific phone. If the phone you want is not eligible for Early Edge at this moment, it may be at some point in the future and the phone CURRENTLY available may NOT be available for Early Edge. You were able to get the phone you wanted on Early Edge because it was the phone(or one of the phones) eligible at the time for Early Edge.
    Verizon does not have a link for Early Edge because it is not always available AND the eligible phones change from time to time. This is no different than any other special they occasionally run.
    Regardless, since a link WAS given for Edge which DOES list upgrade eligibility as being a requirement, if someone DOES NOT fulfill that requirement it is not out of the question that other portions of Edge may be different, too, such as what you posted "All Verizon Wireless smartphones, tablets and basic phones are eligible for Verizon Edge." If Verizon relaxes a requirement to enter into Edge, why is it so hard to fathom they may ALSO change something else such as which phones are eligible???
    The fact that the OP IS NOT able to purchase an iPhone on Early Edge simply reinforces this fact.

  • We add information to our photos in Iphoto on one  laptop, when the photos go via Icloud to the other laptop, the information does not transfer. Is it possible to get the information to transfer with the photos?

    We add information, eg , name of peron in photo and information about where it was taken,  to our photos on one laptop, when they go via the Photostream to our other laptop the information is not transferred. Can this information be transferred, we do not want to have to enter it again on the second computer.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, only the photo is added to photo stream, your tags etc, are specific to iPhoto. If you want to share more than the photo use shared streams and add comments.

  • How come sometimes the Ken Burns effect allows you to edit the entire picture, and other times it automatically starts at a smaller section of the photo?

    How come, in imovie, when adding the Ken Burns effect to a still photo, sometimes the phoo appears as the full size, and other times, the green and red ken burns boxes appear only on a smaller portion of the picture? I want to be able to Ken Burns a bigger chunk of a picture, but often times it is as if there is a pre-set for just how much the Ken Burns will cover.

    Is it possible that the ones that have small boxes are in Portrait while the ones with large boxes are in Landscape?
    If so, you can get bigger boxes on the Portrait ones by clicking "Allow Black" in iMovie 11. (iMovie 09 did not have this feature.)

  • I can't believe this is how the iPhone is right out of the box.

    Seriously. I have never purchased anything that worked so well, and did exactly what it was advertised to do immediately. I did have the activation problems that others did the first night, but since then, wow. It's amazing to think that many other features are coming down the road. Apple really deserves a thumbs up for this one. I have been an apple follower for a while, and the rev a thing is usually pretty crappy....but they knocked it out of the park with this one.. Couldn't be happier. (yes, no point to this thread, but why not post something positive for a change!)

    I totally agree with you....i love my iPhone.....i have no complaints....this is truly a magnificent product! I mean im on my iPhone right now! This is just freakin crazy!

  • Hi, I've got 5gb of 'other' content on my iphone and i don't know what this is or how to remove it?

    Just had my library transferred to a new PC, attempted to sync my iphone with itunes and there seems to be 5gb of 'other' content on my iphone?  I can't work out what this is, or how to manager/reduce it?

    I suspect you need to backup and then restore the device as this is generally the only way to clear up such data.
    Your library should contain all the media that is on the device. If for some reason that isn't so see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window but in other cases, both the label and caption appear in the context help window?

    I am trying to polish an application, and find that I cannot seem to reliably control which of the label or caption text appears in the context help window because I don't understand what rules are in place to determine which should appear. It seems like if I reate a named constant, then use it's right click menu command "Create Indicator" I get a control with only a Label (as long as I don't add a caption). This then appears in the context help window as the label name followed by the description text (after entering some description text). But if I add a caption, the label name is shown in bracket
    s which is a 'feature' I would like to avoid, because I have certain controls where I would like to use a descriptive variable name on the block diagram side without using so much space on the front panel. It seems like there is no way to avoid showing the Label name in the context help for a control/indicator. Is this true?
    I thought the purpose of having a seperate caption was to make the text that appears with a control programmatically controllable, but if that control is not extended to what appears in the context help window, it limits the usefulness of the caption and forces me to re-consider some Label names. However, the problem goes deeper than that because then even when I make the label and caption exactly the same, or if I delete (via a select caption text-backspace or select caption text- delete key .. sequence) the caption for a control, the label name in the context help window still appears in square brackets!
    Can I have complete control over the context help fo
    r a particular control (or has anyone found a third-party context help solution that functions compatibly with LabVIEW 7 in a built application that they will be so kind as to recommend?)
    I have used LabVIEW for three years, and I am now using LabVIEW 7.0.

    Sorry for that.. I was changing the text of my question and didn't read carefully enough in the preview stage. I wanted it to read "What determines whether the Label name and/or Caption appears in the context help window?"
