What is using my SD storage?

my Air SD storage is nearly full, 114 GB used with 7GB free. Yet when I look at the contents of the drive, I can only account for 76GB used, in the Appl, Library, System and User directories. Why can't I account for the rest of the storage?

See here for answer about what is taking up space:

Seen in your "about this MAC" under storage as "OTHER"

What's using all this storage?

When I look at the summary page in iTunes for my iPad Air, I see a bar near the bottom of the page broken up into various colored segments: audio, video, apps, etc. There is also one called "other". I can figure out what I have in the other areas but how do I find out what's using the most space in "other"? I'm getting close to running out of free space and I'd like to know who the worst offenders are so I can make an intelligent decision about whether they belong on the iPad or not.
Thanks!

"If restoring using your backup didn't work, you'll have to save as much of your data as you can (import your photos to your computer, sync your contacts and other data with iCloud, email things like Notes and Voice Memos to yourself, sync with iTunes to transfer all your purchases, etc.) and then restore it as new without using your backup." - https://discussions.apple.com/message/20054011#20054011

What is using up my iCloud storage

I know the most used is by camera roll and than iMovie. It is a new device with not so many pictures in iCloud or photo stream. How can I clean up my iCloud storage?
I have used the 25 gb I bought.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To check what's using the iCloud storage, open Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, and check the files stored. If you are backing up your iPad on iCloud, you can select the backup and choose what you want to back up. Also, you can delete data for other applications

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC that uses an external storage device to a new PC (Windows 7) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with new iTunes 11. How do I do this?? What folder does iTunes use?

I'm trying to transfer music from iTunes on an old PC (Windows Vista Home Basic) that uses an external storage device to store the files to a new PC (Windows 7 Starter) that will use that same external storage device. I am also dealing with the new iTunes 11. How can I accomplish this successfully? What folder does iTunes use to store the data in? I've tried several things. Home Sharing caused duplicates but not all songs or apps transfered. It is a large library! I've tried just setting the path in the Advanced Tab of iTunes preferences of the new computer with the external drive connected the same as the path when the external drive is connected to the old computer. This was the best solution so far but still a few artists missing and some apps. Any suggestions?

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space.

Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space. Can someone please help?

To add to Nick's comments, "Other" is typically approximately 1 gigabyte. Occasionally for some users, it gets much (many times) bigger because they have some corrupt files. If that's the case, it's best to restore the iPhone.
Plug the iPhone into (current) iTunes, let it sync, then choose "Restore" on the right. If restoring from the iPhone backup does not help, then restore (again) as new and then manaully sync the iPhone.

Manually delete applications you drag-installed and use a provided uninstaller or software such as AppZapper for others.

What is the best way to configure my time capsule if I just want to use it for storage?

I have a time capsule that I just want to use as backup storage - I don't need it for accessing the internet. What is the best way to set it up? I just tried and it seems to override my normal internet WLAN, which isn't what I want. If I re-insate the existing WLAN, presumably the backup won't happen automatically on the time capsule. Any insights very welcome!!
Dave

To work as a backup location the TC has to be part of the existing network.
The best way to achieve that is to plug the TC into the existing modem router and put it in bridge mode.
Apple lately have tried to force people to use the TC as the main router.. and the setup via airport utility pushes you in that direction but it is wrong.
You bridge it and use it as storage.. that is fine.. Simply turn off the wireless if you prefer to use the existing wireless, although for Macs the TC will often work better and you can pick up internet through it at the same time.
With access by wireless you cannot have two separate networks. If you try to do that, then you will have one connection with internet and no backup.. and another connection for backup with no internet and be forced to swap between the two.. do not do this!!
You can even setup wireless as roaming.. so same name and security and password as your existing modem router.. and allow the computer to determine which is the best signal to join.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
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 5/6/7, 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.

How do I check to see WHAT'S using up the most storage.

I have a 500gb Drive but only 11 free. Wanted the best way to see what's using up space. I can randomly hit command I on folders and check that way, but was wondering if there was a way to see a document or spreadsheet, or pie chart of everything taking up space. Thanks all.

Not really, no. I'm sure there's probably a command-line program that might give you similar information, but that's not for the faint of heart.
If you are feeling brave you could try something like this:
open
Applications > Utilities > Terminal
and in the Terminal Window type:
find the Path to the folder -ls | cut -c 48-200 | sort -rn | more
this will create a directory listing for all the files in the folder and its subfolders and sort them reverse by size and print a listing. The first column contains the file size in Bytes and pipes the listing thru more. You will have to enter a blank to advance and a q to quit.
For example, on my MBP the following command gives this result:
find /Users/dreschle/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music/The\ Beatles -ls | cut -c 48-200 | sort -rn | more
[Eliza:~] dreschle% find /Users/dreschle/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music/The\ Beatles -ls | cut -c 48-200 | sort -rn | more

and I see that from all Beatles albums I own the biggest is "Hey Jude" with 7 MB
If you want to use this command often you could create a shell script, an an apple script or an automator Workflow.

My lost iPad is using my iCloud storage with new name.

I lost my iPad in Oct-2012. It appears that it was wiped out since it disappeared from Find My iPad list within 15 min of the incident.
However, now I can see that the iPad with new name is using the iCloud storage from my account.
Any hope to retrieve it. What should I do?
I did file the report with the police after the incident, but they have not taken any action so far (since I lost it in a store with survelliance camera, they could have asked the 15 min video).
Thanks,
-Naveen

You're a genius lol.. I posted the same question about a popup in the way so I can't unlock my screen. I thought if I turned it off and back on then the popup blocker should disappear, but I couldn't even access the power off slider. I never knew how to reset the iPad.. I did what you said and it worked.. yay. My iPad is back in business thanks to you lol... I saved $20 for a simple tech repair lol, I am a happy lady right now.

How do I determine what is using the most memory.

The hard disk memory is filling up and I was wondering what is the best way to determine what is using the most memory. Is there a way to show a graph of how the memory is used. Like on my ipod. When I am checking the memory, it will show how much is music, and how much is applications and so on.
Also, I seemed to have lost the "all movies" in the list to the left when the hard disk is opened. It still shows the all imagess, and all documents but the all movies is gone.
Thank you for any help
Marco

Try Grand Perspective or OmniDiskSweeper - CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Just for future reference space on a hard drive is called, "storage," not "memory." Memory refers to the installed RAM in your computer.
Open Finder Preferences from its Finder menu. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar. Check the box for your missing item.

Whats is table type ? whats the use of it in abap?

hi,
i am ahmed abap fresher,
i want to know what is table type and whats the use of it. at what point/situation we utilize this table type.

Hi Ahmed ,
Table is apart of data dictionary.
Table is a sort of container where we store data.
For eg. you want to store customer record in the database.Now you will store that customer record against specific fields of the applicable table.
You can create or see table by means of transaction code se11.
There are 3 typesof tables available in SAP ABAP:
1. Transparent table
2. Pool table
3. Cluster table.
Transparent Table:
A physical table definition in the database for the table definition which is stored in the ABAP Dictionary for transparent tables when the
table is activated. The table definition is translated from the ABAP
Dictionary to a definition of the particular database.
Pooled table:
Pooled tables can be used to store control data (e.g. screen sequences,
program parameters or temporary data). Several pooled tables can be
combined to form a table pool. The table pool corresponds to a physical
table on the database in which all the records of the allocated pooled
tables are stored.
Cluster table:
Cluster tables contain continuous text, for example, documentation.
Several cluster tables can be combined to form a table cluster. Several
logical lines of different tables are combined to form a physical record
in this table type. This permits object-by-object storage or
object-by-object access. In order to combine tables in clusters, at
least parts of the keys must agree. Several cluster tables are stored in
one corresponding table on the database.
