    things that are not audio movies photos apps or backups. Like your OS.

  • What's the 'other' part in my storage and how do I get rid of it?

    A big part of the storage of my iPod Touch 4th Generation is occupied with 'other', it's about 7 GB. What is this and how do I get rid of it?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • TS1503 what is the other part of syncing

    When I go to sync my phone there is a huge part of "other" in yellow that is taking up a lot of space. I have deleted photos and music to help with space but nothing is helping. What is "other" on my phone?

    First, your post says you have an iPhone 3G running iOS 6.1.3.  That is impossible as the iPhone 3G cannot run any version of iOS beyond 4.2.1.  So what is your actual setup?
    "Other" generally indicates corrupted files that should be removed by restoring your iPhone.

  • What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13"  mid 2009 model?

    What is the right charger for a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2009 model? I have two chargers for two different Mac and don't know which is  thankswhich. I'm really looking for specific details such as voltage/watts and all the rest to idenify my charger.  A link to where to web page where I could purchase the correct charger would also be very useful. Many thanks.
    All help much appreciated. THANK YOU

    Both power adapter I have are different (at the magnet end) from the one in link.
    Earlier adapters have T shaped connectors, which Apple later changed to the L shape, presumably to make them more abuse-proof. Either one is fine and the one you are using will not damage your Mac.
    Retina MBPs and new MBAs use a completely different MagSafe 2 connector which will not fit (without an adapter).

    Crucial Memory gives me this module - is that correct?

    Found this via Kingstons site - is this also correct?

    Would really appreciate some official clarification here.
    Many Thanks

    It must be PA3513U-1M2G. You must check if this module is compatible with your notebook model. I think so.
    Anyway I recommend you to buy high quality product like Kingston modules.

  • What is the correct part number for an iPhone 3g battery

    It seems there are many different APN's for iPhone batteries.  What are the proper part numbers for the 3G and 3Gs?  Does it matter what the iOS is?

    The only supported source for iPhone batteries is Apple. Take it to an Apple store and they will replace the battery for $79. There are no officially supported batteries available from other sources; all of them are aftermarket replacements. The version of iOS doesn't matter. If you really want to install an aftermarket battery go by the reputation of the seller; that's the best you can hope for. Note that if you replace it yourself Apple will no longer service or support your phone.

  • What is the average lifespan of a macbook pro?

    I'm really curious because I want my macbook to be useful for a couple of years. I just purchased the newest model out. Does anyone know or have experience of their long life macbook pro's? How long has anyone's macbook pro lasted? And I don't mean by the battery, but the whole laptop. Or in general, what is the average lifespan of a macbook pro?

    If you take good care of it, you can get a decade or more out of it.
    The LEDs that provide the display backlighting will eventually wear out and need to be replaced. Likewise, the LCD screen itself isn't going to last forever. The point is: for a high-technology product, the MBPs have an incredible lifespan. They're very good laptops.
    I have G4 PowerBooks that are 5 years old and still going strong. Apple notebooks are good quality, long-lasting machines.

  • What's the best SSD for a Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2010?

    Hello.
    I will upgrade my 2010 Macbook Pro. I need to know what's the best SSD for my Macbook Pro. I was thinking about those:
    - Kingston SSDNow V+200 (SVP200S37A/120G) - 120 GB
    - CRUCIAL SSD M4 128 GB
    - CORSAIR SSD  Force Series GS 128 GB
    - SAMSUNG SSD 840 Series Basic 2.5" - 120 GB (MZ-7TD120BW)
    - CRUCIAL SSD interno Crucial v4 - 128 GB
    Those are the easiest to find on Portugal.

    It is my understanding that SATA III is backwards compatible to SATA II so that should not be an issue for your selection process.
    As an aside, you might be interested to know that your MBP can now have 16 GB RAM installed.
