When I go to settings, general, usage to try to delete a movie, movies is not one of the selections, so how do I delete a movie from my ipad2?

How do I delete movies from ipad2 if movies don't show up under usage?

They need to be downloaded or to have been streamed for them to take up space on your iPad. If you don't want a film to show in the Videos app then you can turn off the showing of all films and TV programmes that are in the cloud via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Videos 'off' - or to just stop individual films from showing you can hide them via your computer's iTunes : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases

When trying to import videos off of a CD I continually get error code -36 on one of the videos. How can I fix this?

Contact Apple and request a 10.4 or possibly a 10.5 distribution disk for this system, if you've not obtained that DVD disk from the seller.
Boot and use that distribution disk to wipe the hard disk via Disk Utility, and to then reinstall OS X.
Best to start with a fresh installation of OS X, as that'll provide the default environment and not something that's been customized and extended by the previous owner.
The last OS X version that was supported for most PowerMac G5 systems was 10.5.8, and that would be preferable — if your Mac supports that.
If you're not sure which Mac you have, then use the  > About This Mac from the menu and request more information on the system. You're looking for a model number listed there, and that'd be something like PowerMac7,3 or PowerMac11,2 for a ~2005-vintage PowerMac system. Whatever model number you have can then be used to determine the general specs for the configuration, and what the last version of OS X that was supported for the system.

I have an iPhone 5, latest OS. When i go to Settings/General/Usage,

Basically when i touch Usage, it flashes back to the home screen. Any idea what may be causing this?

Try This First...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Ipad2, ios5.0.1, going into settings/general/Usage always produces a crash. Any ideas?

ipad2, ios5.0.1, going into settings/general/Usage always produces a crash. Any ideas?

You're not alone. I just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.0.1, and when I go to Settings>General>Usage, the spinning "busy" indicator is visible in the "Storage" window for a few seconds, then it crashes and goes back to the home screen. Must be a bug. I hope Apple adds this to the fix list for iOS 5.0.2. QA seems to be slipping at Apple.

IPad 1 (Settings/General/Usage) = crash

Little issue when I go to Settings/General/Usage it crashes the settings app.
It did work but now I have 10gigs worth of apps on it just crashes back to the main screen.
Anyone else ?

I made some progress on this. Backed up my iPhone. Then set all sync options to off and synced. Still had the issue! T
So then did a full reset so nothing was on the phone. Then did a restore from the back up... Key thing is here that during the restore process, when it said starting to sync apps, I hit the X in iTunes to cancel this part. So now I had my iPhone with all contacts, text messages, email, calendar, camera photos, etc. but no music, photo albums or apps. Settings/general/usage works fine. Synced up my music and photo albums and still works! Synced up a few choice apps and still works!
I noticed that before when it didn't work I had about 0.9gb of "other" data. After this with it working I have about 0.5 in "other" data. I suspect an some app is the culprit here and even after deleting it from the phone it's leaving some "other" data that the usage cant step through and crashes on. Maybe it's something like Dropbox as that allowed storage of documents as favourites on the phone, but who knows.
Anyway, don't know what the iPad is like as I don't have one. This worked for me. Hope it helps somewhat!

HT4623 When we go to Settings General, we do not have an option for Software Update...only About and Usage.

When we go to Settings>General, we do not have an option for Software Update...only About and Usage. How do we update the system on our iPad?

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

My iphone has recently loss about 10G of memmory. I check through settings/general/usage, all apps I had add up to less than 2G. I used to be able to take around 2hrs of video and now I can't take any. Can anyone help? Thanks

My iphone has recently loss about 10G of memmory. I check through settings/general/usage, all apps I had add up to less than 2G. I used to be able to take around 2hrs of video as I like to record down whatever happening in front of my car when I'm driving. I delete the videos everyday ifn nothing special. It seems that lately when I deleted the videos, they're not removed from the phone's memmory.
I check form setting/general/usage : all my apps add up to less than 2G. In itune, it shows all memmary is under the catagory "other". Is there any way I can access this "other" memmory to see what's in it and delete the things I don't want to regain the loss memmory?
Thanks

You could always try restoring, although maybe someone else on here has a better idea.
Hopefully by posting this, it will bump up and someone with more iPhone troubleshooting experience might chime in.
As for the videos - interesting! Do you have the iPhone on one of those window holders, or do you hold it in your hand since that might ironically distract you, unless you've gotten very good at it!

Settings General Usage -- Crash

hi folks,
when i upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5 i noticed that opening settings > general > usage makes the settings app crash after a few seconds of loading. after switching to an iphone 4s and "restoring" the iphone 4 data into the new device, the bug was gone.
now i made the mistake and opened that usage tab while i was installing software (yes, *** hoc ergo propter hoc, but i don't have any better guess what could have caused it) and the settings app crashed and kept crashing ever since. i tried to deinstall the software i was loading at the time of the first 4s-crash. i tried restarting the iphone. nothing works so far.
this really annoys me because i'm using that tab a lot to check for data usage. is there anything known on that issue?
greets,
Christoph

The audiobook is the trouble maker.
But how do you make it work?
I had the same problem with a self-ripped audio book (from CD).
I got one audio book to work, if I add a second one it still crashes,
but maybe this is a start:
Here is what I did to make it work:
Step 1. Convert all the AAC files to "Spoken Content"
Step 2. Renamed all the ".m4a" files to ".m4b"
(Finder or in Terminal you use: for FILE in *.m4a;do mv "${FILE}" "${FILE%.m4a}.m4b";done)
Step 3. Ensure that in iTunes, the Audio Book shows up in the "Book/Audio Books" section, and under "File/Get Info (Apple-I)", "Options", "Media Type" is set to "Audio Book".
Now it works with one audio book on my iPhone.
If I add a second with the same method, it still crashes. Any ideas?

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Unable to check usage on iPad (Settings General Usage)

Hello,
My iPad mini won't allow me to check how much space I have left but I was notified (forgot how) that there was not much space left.
I originally thought that it kept crashing because my iPad wasn't updated to the latest version so I downloaded it and it still didn't solve the problem.
Every time I go to settings > General > usage I instantly crash and go back to the home screen. I don't really know what other information to give :\ .
I'm thinking maybe a hard reset would fix the problem but I'm not really sure how to back up everything that's already on my iPad since it's greater than the storage given for iCloud. (Not really sure how to back up in general)
So, if maybe a hard reset it the way to go -- could someone maybe lead me in the direction of how to hard reset and get all my apps back easily? (Instead of writing everything down and searching them up and downloading later?)
Thank you :).

Hi AmishCake,
Unfortunately, this method didn't work. My photos and videos take up practically no space as I only have around 15 photos and no videos but I will move them onto the computer.
Any other suggestions for the usage problem?

I noticed yesterday my Iphone 4s does not say verizon at the top anymore. I tried calling *228 and did both options mutiple times and it hasnt changed. Also when i go to settings general about the network tab says unavailable. how can i fix this

Can you make and receive calls and texts? If you can, I wouldn't worry about it. If you can't, you may need to call Verizon. However, try this first. The 4S has a Vodafone SIM card in it for foreign travel. Try taking the SIM out and doing the *228 again. Once it activates properly, you should be able to put the SIM back for safe keeping. It's not used in the U.S.
