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.
 Cheers, Tom

    I want to run Quicken 2012 through Windows on my macbook pro, whats the best way to do this?
    I have been looking at Parallels or VMware in order to use Windows but then I will also need to get a Windows license. Just looking for the most inexpensive way possible as this will probably be the only Windows app I run.
    Also looking at this CrossOver software which says you dont need Windows license. Anyone used this before? had success?

    CrossOver's website has a list of software it has certified as working or working with known issues - Quicken 2012 has a bronze rating meaning it runs but with enough issues that it isn't recommended. In other words, "Run away!"
    Get a copy of Windows 7 OEM from Amazon or New Egg and give it a try with VirtualBox (an open source virtualization program). If VirtualBox doesn't cut it you can always buy VMWare or Parallels.

  • Wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

    I need to wipe my hard drive clean except for the OS whats the best way?

    From Kappy (note: with this method, you will need to update to the present OS version using the appropriate Combo Update from Apple Downloads.)
    Boot from the OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities (Installer menu if using Panther or Jaguar) menu. After DU loads select the startup volume from the left side list then click on the Erase tab. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) then click on the Options button. Select the one pass Zero Data option and click on the OK button. Then click on the Erase button.
    Note: You can skip the Zero Data option if you are not concerned about removing sensitive personal data from the hard drive. If you choose to skip this part of the process then it is possible for others to recover data from the hard drive. The Zero Data procedure will prevent others from getting access to your personal information.
    This process will take 30 minutes to several hours depending upon the size of the hard drive. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Now complete the OS X installation. At the completion of the installation do not restart the computer. Instead just shut it off. The next user will be presented with the Setup Assistant when they turn on the computer just as it would if new out of the box.

    I want to connect a Mac mini to a Samsung 40" LED tv to use as the monitor, whats the best way of doing this?

    Understand that there is one HDMI port on your TV that is specifically designated for PC connectivity. The order that the TV or Mini are powered on may determine your results. For your specific TV model, check buyer reviews on Amazon or elsewhere that can include optimum TV/Computer settings adjustment for improved viewing results.

  • When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

    When I'm done with my fcp sequence, whats the best way to get it to dvd?

    The advice to go to Compressor left out the part that you may want to convert your audio to AC3 becaus ethe MPEG2 bitrate is probably too high for DVD specs.
    This method is in the DVDSP manual and it's in the Compressor manual, both difficult to locate, but easily searchable.
    Here's what I'd do: Export the timeline form FCP in the native sequence settings, self-contained. Bring that self-contained movie into DVDSP and let DVDSP handle the transcode.
    The advice to go to iDVD is even easier.

  • Whats the best way to get a big text file in a CLOB variable?

    Hi,
    I have a very premitive type of question.
    I have a big text file, say 30 MB, in a Unix directory (Solaris). I want to get the whole text of that file in a CLOB variable.
    I saw the procedure dbms_lob.loadfromfile/loadclobfromfile. In both these cases, according to the documentation, the target where is collect the data will be a BLOB and not a CLOB. So, I have to convert that blob into a clob.
    If I want to avoid all this conversion process, whats the best way to get a text from a file into a CLOB variable?
    Please suggest.
    Regards

    In addition, LoadFromFile is overloaded to handle both BLOB and CLOB:
    PROCEDURE LOADFROMFILE
    Argument Name                  Type                    In/Out Default?
    DEST_LOB                       BLOB                    IN/OUT
    SRC_LOB                        BINARY FILE LOB         IN
    AMOUNT                         NUMBER(38)              IN
    DEST_OFFSET                    NUMBER(38)              IN     DEFAULT
    SRC_OFFSET                     NUMBER(38)              IN     DEFAULT
    <BR>
    PROCEDURE LOADFROMFILE
    Argument Name                  Type                    In/Out Default?

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Whats the best way to move files from a hard drive that wont boot?

    I made a bootable USB disk and it appears to work fine. I can still read and open files on the old disk (admin account only) from the new USB drive the old one doesn't boot. I don't have a backup but would like to move files to the USB and then reformat the old drive. 
    Whats the best way to capture the data?
    There are four user accounts on the old drive. Only one on the new drive so far. Do I need to set up four accounts on the new drive in order to copy data from each?

    Time Machine is for making backups and restoring ones it previously created. It doesn't restore data backed up or copied in other ways. In your case, it's better to use a cloning utility or manually drag the files than it is to use Time Machine.

  • Whats the best way to create USER variable in BI Apps?

    I have just installled BI Apps and am trying to integrate EBS R12 with OBIEE 11g
    We have USER variable already defined in the BI Apps rpd.
    In EBS Security context init block i need to define USER variable, but when i define it... it says *'USER' has already been defined in the variable "Authentication"."USER"*
    Whats the best way to create USER variable for EBS Security Context init block?
    1) Delete the existing USER variable and then define a new one ( in this case all the places where USER variable is getting used in the rpd would become <missing>)
    And i was told that it should not be done.
    Let me know how can it be done.
    Thanks
    Ashish

    Disable existing Init block and then double click on USER variable and hit on NEW... button to create new Init block
    Thanks

  • Whats the best way to expose this in memory database? (ArrayList)

    Hello everyone.
    I was looking for advice on how I should implement this...currently I have the following ArrayList that stores ClassEntity objects. I'm going to write 2 classes that need to access this ClassEntity Object arrayList because they are goign to use these objects to spit out 2 different files.
    I didn't want to make the database public and static though.
    Here's a snippet of my current class that populates and creates the arrayList data structure:
    public class RODMFileParser
         //used to keep file information
         ClassEntity classEntity = null;
         //used to store ClassEntity objects
         List<ClassEntity> classEntityList = new ArrayList<ClassEntity>();
         //used to store the conversion table RODM->ENGLISH/ENGLISH->RODM
         ConversionTableParser convTableParser = new ConversionTableParser();
            else if(line.contains("Field Value "))
                        //now we can create a new Entity Class object! tricky! huh
                        classEntityList.add(new ClassEntity(idClassName,  idFieldName,
                                                                       englishClassName, englishFieldName, fieldType));
    Iterator listIter = classEntityList.iterator();
              while(listIter.hasNext())
                   ClassEntity tempObj = (ClassEntity) listIter.next();
                   System.out.println(tempObj);
              }So now classEntityList has all the objects I need to create these 2 seperate files but these 2 files are dramtically different. What would be the best way at exposing this classEntityList ArrayList so my 2 other classes can access it?
    Thanks!

    well if I made it non-static, wouldn't I have to create a new object of that class in each class I want to use it in?
    for example, that class that populates the database must parse a file to create the database.
    RODMFileParser file = new RODMFileParser();
              file.parseFile("QAGENT");So inside each class I would have to do this wouldn't I? if I made it public static, wouldn't I only have to read to the disk once?
    Putting it to a worst case say, 100 classes need this database, that means I would have to make 100 accesses to the disk woulnd't it?
    And if it was public static, it would jsut return a copy of the database that was only read from the disk once or am I misunderstanding how it works?

  • Using final cut studio what the best way of getting a mini disc in to FCP?
