When you sync your phone, what info is in the "documents and data" ?

I have 5MGB of "documents and data" and can't figure out what's contained in that so I can clean it up.

Documents and data include any files that you have saved on iCloud and info that apps have stored in iCloud.

    what is the green next to apps composed of when you sync your phone?

    Hi steven1098,
    If you are referring to the green portion of the status bar at the bottom of iTunes that indicates current usage and available capacity, that portion (the green section) represents the spaced used by your apps themselves. You may find the following article useful:

  • When you sync your phone does data go from phone to pc or pc to phone

    Good morning, when you sync your iphone4, is the phone uploading to the pc or is the pc downloading to the phone?  What is the overriding situation?  Also, can you delete unwanted phot folders from the phone or do you have to try to "restore" phone to factory settings and start again or will this even work?  I am always guessing when I sync because I am never sure which way it is going.  Thanks for any help.

    I thought I tried the uncheck/check but maybe I didn't so I will give that a try.  It is actually my friends phone (I try stuff on mine but I was hesitant on someone else's phone) so I will try that when I visit them again next week.  Thank you, I will let you know if I am successful.

    Yes as long as you use the same Apple ID for iTunes that you used to download the app originally.
    Hope that helps

    Take a look at this Apple doc -> iTunes: About iOS backups
    It shows the locations of backups and how to use them with iTunes.

  • When you sync your Ipod using Itunes does it back up your photos?

    Title says it all,
    when you sync your ipod does it back up your photos automatically.. Preferrably the photos that are in the camera roll?
    My ipod won't turn on at all, I have tried everything and I am thinking it might be a battery issue at this point but anyways.. I might buy the Ipod Touch 5th Generation and I REALLY need the photos that I last had on the ipod. The day before the ipod decided to die on me, I synced it to my computer to put music on it and stuff so I am wondering if it backed up the photos as well?

    Yes iTunes backs up your iPod automatically every time you sync unless you have the Summary pane in iTunes for the iPod chacked to backup to iCloud. In that case yo have to manually backup to iTunes.
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    Yes, the iPod backup that iTunes makes (and iCloud makes) includes photos in the iPod's Camera Roll album.

    Plug your iPhone into your Mac and open iPhoto. Transfer the photos from the phone to your Mac.

    You could adjust the mailnews.tcptimeout preference, as explained in the 2nd point in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Can_not_send_large_attachments this article]. Also, make sure there's no security program scanning outgoing mail attachments.

  • Do iOS apps that are ONLINE translators (e.g requires Wifi or internet, such as Google Translate) store every translation you type in the Documents and Data files?

    I have several apps that are translators. Many of them are for offline use, (especially ones that cost money) but they keep eating away at my memory with every translation I type. What about the ONLINE translators, like GOOGLE TRANSLATE? Do they store the translations inthe app's Documents and Data, or not at all? Please help me! I'm dying to know! Also, does Google Translate charge you money for unlimited translations, or is it entirely free?

    No no no, thank you. However, I learned just now that "flash storage" does not equal "Documents and Data" because I noticed that the Documents and Data for Google Translate increases very slighty with every translation (faster if speaking the translation). But this doesn't bother me at all. Why? Becuz the app size is oh so small (2.3 MB) & every translator (all 50+ of them) is included for free (how dope is that?) without having to download any additional memory for each language. So when the time comes to delete and redownload it due to memory capacity shortage, it still requires only 2 MB to redownload it. I bet that won't harm my device at all. Hey, I can live with that!
    Thanks for your support for my question, Deggie, kudos!!!

  • HT4847 what happens if i turn documents and data option off

    what happens if i turn documents and data option off

    This is what Apple says about documents on icloud.com (from http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4910):
    iWork for iOS apps
    For documents created with the iWork for iOS apps, you can download those files by visiting icloud.com/iwork on a Mac or PC and downloading a copy.  After downloading the files, you should back them up using the normal methods you use for backing up local files such as Time Machine, manually copying files to external hard drives, and burning to CD/DVD.
    Other apps
    For other apps using iCloud Documents, contact the app developer for more information on how to keep a copy of that app's data. 
    If you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, you will see a list of the apps that are storing documents and data on iCloud (under Documents & Data).  You can tap each item listed there to see the file names of any documents.

  • What happens when you cancel your phone plan?

    My contract through at&t is up in June, and I was just wondering if anybody knew what happens if I cancel my phone plan. Does my phone just work like an ipod touch, or... what? I heard a rumor that it did, but it was more speculation than fact.

    I don't know if this is true for AT&T - but on Verizon, when I went to a Palm Centro from a Samsung regular not-too-smart phone, I still could use the Samsung as an alarm clock and a stopwatch. I just have to keep it on standalone mode (off the network) except twice a year, when I turn off standalone mode briefly to get the right time from the network during the change to and from daylight savings. The phone company has never complained. I can still access my old address book on the old Samsung any time.
    When I get an iPhone, I'll keep the Centro in case anything horrible happens to the iPhone... and also to use some things on the Centro such as alarm programs and all-important games. Hopefully I can do the same as I do with the Samsung, and just connect it to the network as needed to reset the time. You'll have to look at your iPhone to see if they have something like standalone mode and hope that you can do the same. On the Centro, I think all I have to do is turn off the phone portion -- it does that spontaneously once every few months, anyway... There has to be a way to disconnect the phone from the network, since some places require you to do this to avoid interfering with their equipment (e.g., hospitals, airplanes).

  • What is included in "preferences" when you sync your computers using Firefox 6?

    What preferences are included in the sync function?
    Tool bar settings?
    Plug in settings?
    Preferences is just too broad of a term, I prefer that when I sync any of my computers the tool bars look the same, the menus look alike, etc.

    You can see which prefs are synced if you open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and filter for <b>services.sync.prefs.sync.*</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
