What is the 'other' catagory and how do you get rid of it.

Basically the 'other' category is over 2gb and as my ipod is only an 8gb one it takes up a lot of room so how do you get rid of the other category on itunes?

  • What is the file attribute @ and how can I get rid of it

    I converted some wav files using Roxio Toast 11 and the output AIF files have a '@' in the file permissions and are not displayed in Finder. What does the '@' mean and how can I get rid of it. Would love to know why Toast adds it but I posted a question on Roxio's site and hopefully will get an answer to that.
    thanks for the help

    okay, so I yes, it does indicate extended attributes. I executed ls -l@ *.aif and got this

    I then did xattr -c *.aif to clear the extended attributes which got rid of the '@' but the files are still not being displayed in Finder.
    Help!

  • I have a Ipod nano with only 128 songs (6mb) with no videos or anything but 128 songs..the ipod summary says i have 3.02GB of  "other"...what is this "other" stuff and how can i get rid of it so i can have more songs on my ipod?!

    ..

    The Other section on your iPod consists of a number of different things, including album artwork, your iPod's software, files you may be storing externally on it, games, and a few other things. However, it can usually include corrupt files from failed sync operations with iTunes.  Usually the Other section should only be a small fraction of what's stored on your iPod, usually less than 1 GB. 
    So it sounds like your iPod may be corrupt, in which case you'll need to connect it to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.

    \Based on other forum users' posts, it seems like all you need to do is Restore the phone from your latest backup, and that should "refresh" your phone's appraisal of its data storage.

    Migration assistant failed after 90% of the way; where are the files now and how do I get rid of them?

    Hello.  It looks like I recovered all my keywords attached to photos.  What I did:
    First I located all photos without keywords using a metadata search.
    I found that it seemed to be certain groups of photos that had no keywords.  I decided to at least get the main keyword on all of those in a particular group, like Canyonlands. 
    Once I added one of the keywords, the others all showed up magically!  I then went to each group of photos and added the main keyword, and the others came along and attached to the photos.
    Don't understand why this occurred or why it got fixed, since it was so random.  But, I'm glad to have my keywords restored (I had divided flowers by color, etc. so it was a lot of work!)
    Thanks for the discussion and help.

  • What is the lock symbol and circular arrow on the top of my iPad and how do you get rid of it?

    My iPad has this lock sy,boll on the top of it and now I can't go into portrait mode(I'm stuck in landscape). How do you get rid of it?!?! Please help!

    Lock symbol is rotation lock : depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can lock rotation either by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • What is JS.Agent-58 and how do I get rid of it?

    Hello.  I just ran a ClamXAv scan and it came up with a trojan called JS.Agent-58.  It's the weirdest thing because it is in a file I would never expect it to be in.  I buy a lot of things online and I do not print my receipts.  Instead I save them as PDF files.  The Trojan is in a Macy's PDF saved receipt from November.  I have no idea how it got there.  Anyway, if I delete the receipt, will that be enough.  Can somebody tell me what exactly this particular Trojan does and how to tell if it has been downloaded on my computer.  And, will someone tell me how to completely remove this Trojan from my computer, if it is indeed on my computer?  Please and Thank You.

    First a couple of tips:
    As I mentioned to the OP, for fastest, most efficient answers to questions such as this, visit the ClamXav Forum.
    Secondly, nobody but the OP and I will probably ever see your posting here. Only those who post or choose to follow a discussion will ever notice a new posting. For future issues, if you don't find the answer in an older discussion, then you will always be better off posting a new topic which will attract attention from other troubleshooters who are currently on line. That's just the way the forum works best.

    ClamXav has identified a virus which I seem to have gotten in August 2014 called JS Agent-58 that is NOT in my mail but is a Page.webarchive filename.  I have rescanned and had it quarantined but what do I do now and how did I get it in the first place?
    I would need to know where it came from originally in order to have any idea how you got it. That information may still be in you scan log, so here is how to find it:
    In ClamXav open the Scan Log by clicking the icon on the tool bar
    When the "clamXav-scan.log" (or "ClamXav-scan.log" for the App Store version) window opens, you will only be looking at the only the most recent results
    Select Find->Find from the Edit menu or type Command-F
    Type "FOUND" in all caps and without the quotes in the Find box
    Uncheck the "Ignore case" box and hit enter
    Click the "Next" button or type Command-G until you find what you are looking for
    If it doesn't show up in the most recent results, use the "▲ Earlier|" button in the lower right corner of the window to move back through the log.
    Copy the entire line and paste it into a reply back here.
    There is an easier way to do this using the Terminal app, but I would need to know which version of ClamXav (App Store or web site) you used to find it.
    Be sure you read general guidance in Dealing with infected files. Moving it to quarantine has disabled it. You should probably make sure this isn't a file you need before moving it to the Trash Can, but that would be next. It's always possible this is a false alarm, but I doubt it.
    Hopefully you have already read my analysis of what this is and understand there is close to zero chance it could affect your computer.

  • What are the '- -' entries in the AGG operator and how do I get rid of them

    Greetings
    Environment:
    OWB Client 10gR1 (10.1.0.4) on Windows XP Professional
    Repository 10.2.0.2.0 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
    Target schema 10.2.0.2.0 on UNIX (AIX 5.2)
    Several times now in different maps I have modified input and output columns in an AGG operator only to have a bunch of '- -' show up in the Operator Properties. They obviously are causing problems when the PL/SQL is generated.
    What causes them and more importantly how do I get rid of them without deleting and redefining the entire AGG operator?
    I've done that in the past when this has happened previously but I'm tired of that and hope there is a more elegant solution.
    Thanks very much in advance for all the assistance.

    I think this happens when you remove the ingrp field without removing it from the outgrp field and group by or having clause first.
    If you remove it from the outgrp, then remove it from the group by/having, then remove it from the ingrp, it shouldn't mess it up.
    It is one of those quirks of OWB that I've just grown to accept. I wonder if this was fixed in 10gR2.
