What is the 4 gigabytes of "other" in my ipad? Why so much?

My ipad memory has 4 gigabytes dedicated to "other". This seems like a lot, more than my audio or video or music or photos or apps. What is it and how do i free up some of that storage space?

Yes, 4 gigabytes is a lot of "Other". Normally "Other" takes roughly 1GB. In your case, it probably indicates you have corrupted files.
To clean them out, restore your iPad. Plug it in to (current) iTunes, let it synch, then choose "Restore" from the iPad's summary page.
You can try restoring from backup, but that may not clear "Other" out for you. If it doesn't, try restoring as new and them manually sync your iPad.

Only GSM/LTE iPhones can be purchased unlocked. CDMA iPhones are always locked to their specific carrier for CDMA use, though some may either have the GSM portion unlocked or will unlock upon request assuming any necessary requirements are met.

What is the yellow portion "other" when updating your phone on itunes? What makes up that category?

What is the yellow portion "other" when updating your phone on itunes? What makes up that category?

anything that's not music, photos, apps, etc. anything that is not whatever is shown next to the other on the bottom of your screen. for example, if you look on your phone at settings, general, usage and click on any of the apps it will show you how much the actual app takes up and also how much documents and data it has; that documents and data portion will be counted as other. most phones that are operating normally have around 1gb of other so if you have a lot more than that you probably have a corrupt file or something. in that case search "removing other from iphone" will help you, but usually restoring is what will fix it.

What is the difference bwt other spl. indicator and normal spl. indiactor

Hi
What is the difference bwt other spl. indicator(OBXT) and normal spl. indiactor(OBYR)?
As per my knowldege other spl ind. which is used for not to update books
and normal spl. ind. will updated the books?
it is right.
if that is right than in the both the cases i am able to see open items?
can any body guide me in this matter.
Thanks inadvance
satya

Hi Satya:
From my point of view, I think
OBYR is "Define Alternative Reconciliation Account for Down Payments";
OBXT is "Define Alternative Reconciliation Account for Vendors".
As long as your customizing is correct, specify the numbe of the alternative reconciliation account and make sure that the account is created, these two types of special G/L indicators will update the booking, you will find the open item under the correct account# as well.
Good luck

If we activate MRP Areas what are the implications on other plants.

Q:- If we activate MRP Areas what are the implications on other plants.
My Business is having many plants with different business
eg :- One Plant (1000)MRP is currently being executed at Project Level MD51
Second Plant (2000) MRP is currently being executed at Plant Level ,
Third Plant (3000) is currently being executed at materail levels only (MD02/MD03)
Issue :-
for our new scenario we need to execute MRP at MRP Area only -- Storage location MRP run
So we would have to activate MRP @ MRP area level , but doing so
You convert the existing planning file entries at plant level to planning file entries at MRP area level.
To convert the planning file entries, you use the report that you trigger in Customizing for MRP in the IMG activity Convert planning file entries for MRP areas.The system creates a new planning file and MRP areas for the existing plants. These MRP areas, however, do not affect how material requirements are planned. The number of the plant MRP area is identical to the plant number and therefore has four digits.
Preparing for Material Requirements Planning with MRP Areas - Special Planning Processes - SAP Library
Can any one provide , what are the drawbacks , if activated at MRP Areas are activated , since it is activated at client level ,
Will it impact my current MRP execution process for other Plants ??( other plants MRP is being executed at Plant MRP /Project MRP / etc,,
Please Reply /Share your comments urgently
Regard's
Tallha

Hello Tallha
The only visible impact is that you will have an extra field on MD04 and another MRP transactions.
If you simply activate MRP areas but don't create MRP areas for the materials, your process will not change and you should be able to continue using MRP as you were using before.
There is a positive impact on the conversion of the planning file may improve the MRP general performance.

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?
I read an article and cannot find it that said something about trying to make it 2million pixels and JPG to keep it small, but what exactly should the dimensions be that I ultimately import? Is there some kind of a "density" setting I have to use, as well, when exporting from Photoshop, for example?

See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
Density is discussed by Apple in this context as 'dpi'...

What is the best way to connect my ipad to the high-speed Internet connection in a hotel room

what is the best way to connect my ipad to the high speed inernet connection in a hotel room

every connection is a bit different. Generally, connect to the wifi, then you may need to open Safari, and may even need to try to get to one of your bookmarked pages to trigger the 'agree to our terms' page to come up.
As to it kicking you off every so often, there are sometimes glitches with the wifi on iPads, you can also be subject to any programming the hotel has. Like I've noticed various places that only allow you to log on for a period of time before having to relogin.
most hotels have 1-800 numbers, so you can always try calling that to see if their tech support has any tips for the frequent disconnection issue.

What's the best way to use your iPad instead of textbooks?

What's the best way to use your iPad instead of textbooks? I'm about to start a BSN program and have heard of using your iPad for textbooks instead of buying and carrying around 8 different books. Is there an app for that? Or do you buy or rent the books? What's the best solution?

Or, if you're like me and you want to do a lot of heavy reading, use the iPad because the low contrast on a Kindle is extremely fatiguing.
Seriously, though "screen glare will cause eye strain" is often taken as an article of faith, there's not a lot of good scientific evidence for it. "Eye strain" can be caused by concentrating on any close work for long periods of time. Looking up and focusing on something distant periodically is very helpful. Older CRT screens that flicker also can be aggravting. I'm not denying that some people find reading backlit screens uncomfortable. However, it's not dangerous. And, then, there are other people who find the higher contrast a backlit screen affords to be much less wearying over long periods of time.

Gave grandkids Ipads for Christmas. I need to sync each to my Mac with their own Itune accounts. I do have them on my computer with their own login. What is the best way to sync their Ipads?

I need to sync each of my grandkids IPads to my Mac with their own Itune accounts. Each grandkid does have a login on my computer that I control. On their IPads they each set up a ITune account. What is the best way to sync their Ipads? Is there something I need to make sure is turned on in their accounts on my computer?

Hi Jodel,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your grandkids each have a user account on your Mac, you can use the steps in this article to set up syncing with each user account and iPad:

Hi ..
Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
Make sure your Mac OS X software is up to date.
Disconnect the iPad from your Mac.
Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
If any updates are required, make sure to restart your Mac after the updates are installed then connect your iPad and see if iTunes recognizes it under Devices.

What is the main benefit of buying an ipad ? what can you actually do in 16, 32 0r 64 gb when you have 510 gb laptop with you ?

What is the main benefit of buying an ipad ? what can you actually do in 16, 32 0r 64 gb when you have 510 gb laptop with you ?

For me? the advantage of an ipad over a laptop....instant on, instant off, thin and portable. Check your e-mail and put it down, not wait 5 minutes to boot, check your mail, shut it down.
Is it as fully functional as a laptop? no. Not meant to be. What it lacks in functionality it makes up for in portability.
Is a necessity? no. But quite handy.

Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
Get what denoted in what properties link.
You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.
