Where exactly are my 16GB in iPhone?

I have bought a 16GB iPhone 6.
I am surprised how little memory I can use. I installed a couple of apps, made a dozen of pictures and all of a sudden I have less than 9GB free.
if the 7 gigs were my files then I would not mind it, but actually it's used by something else.
to be precise I went to settings And checked for storage usage. It says then that :
- I have 9 gigs available
- I "use" 3 gigs
this is adds to 12 only. So more is missing than I actually use.
but that's not the end.
Below I found a list of apps installed. I decided to add the size reported for each app and it summed up to..
1.1 GB.
So what's the catch. How is it possible that after using 1 gig out of my 16 gigs I have 9 gigs free?
Best regards,
Kamil

The operating system of the iPhone (called the iOS) uses up a portion of that 16GB. Whatever isn't used by the operating system is the available capacity of your device. The list of apps doesn't include all the user data on your device. If you have used 3 GB, and have 9 GB available, that means your maximum usable capacity is 12 GB out of 16 GB. That sounds about right.
Your computer, for example, may be advertised with, say, a 500 GB hard drive. But you don't actually have 500 GB of available storage, because the computers operating system needs to take up space to operate the computer. This is true of all computers, and has been for decades.

Where exactly are the media files kept now?

It used to be simple, the media files were all in the Final Cut Events folders and if you trashed them they were gone.
However, now that I have updated my 10.0.9 projects and events to 10.1, I apparently have identical media files in the "Old Final Cut Projects and Events" folder together with the new Library.
I believe that some of these are symbolic, but which ones?
If I delete something from the "Old Final Cut Projects and Events" folder, will it still be present in the new Library . . . . . and vice versa?
What if I delete both lots?
Where exactly are my old media files?

It's a tricky bit of engineering. If you updated the projects and events and the media was already in the events then the media will appear to be in both plays simultaneously, but only taking the drive space of one. If you delete the old events, the drive space will not go down because the media is still on the hard drive.
Here's the thing, when we say a media file is in a folder, it's not physically in the folder. It's somewhere on your hard drive, wherever there was space when the file was written to the drive. The file structure says they're in a folder or move from folder to folder, but in reality they never move. Only the directory structure changes. That's what's happening here. Both folders, old events, new libraries are pointing to same space on your physical hard drive where the media files are living. Both are holding the media files in their directory. If you delete them both the media will disappear from the directories and that drive space will be freed and eventually get physically overwritten as more stuff is written on the drive.

Where exactly are my iBooks stored on my mac?

i am curious as to where exactly my iBooks are being stored on my mac?

I believe they are in your iTunes Music folder. Each author that you have downloaded will have a folder within the music folder.

Where EXACTLY are my photos in icloud?

I am confused about icloud. I understand that when I take a pic with my iPhone it "magically" transfers to the photostream folder in "My Pictures" on my PC by way of icloud. I've mastered the understanding of deleting photos on either/both of these devices. What I haven't been able to figure out is how to view the photos that are stored IN the icloud. I assumed it would be similar to viewing items that are stored in my MSN SkyDrive. I did manage to "reset" my icloud's photostream, and there was a note saying that all photo have been removed from icloud but it had no affect on the iPhone's photostream or the folder in my PC and I was still never aware of exactly which and how many pics were there. When I go to my icloud home page there are only icons for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Find My iPhone and iWork. Am I missing something?

I guess I am also confused by this. I've read the comment above, but that just adds to my confusion because I know I have GB's of iCloud "Storage" space available, and I'm pretty sure there is a way to purchase additional iCloud Storage if needed.
The iCloud missing statement says "iCloud does more than store your content — it lets you access your music, photos, calendars, contacts, documents, and more, from whatever device you’re on."
The previous response makes it sound like I am not able to access my photos from "whatever device I'm on", but only from the one device that I can sync my phone to, but that would go against the iCloud missing statement.
Between home computer and work computer, I use multiple devices. My iPhone is sync'd to my home laptop, but I want to view photos taken with my iPhone on my work computer, or any other PC that I log into.
When I bought my iPhone I was also told that I could use iCloud to store music on, and have access to it whenever/where ever. But again I only seem to be able to store/manage my music on either my phone or the in my home laptop's iTunes app.
Is there an instruction manual that explains how I can access my music and photos within my iCloud Storage, from whatever device I'm on?

Where exactly are my photos when they are in iPhoto?

I have been using Mac since 1986 and this Photo/iPhoto/Aperture thing is driving me nuts! Where are my Photos? How can I positively save my Photos?

In your User folder there is a Pictures folder, in that folder is your iPhoto Library. It will most likely be named, "{Your Username}'s iPhoto Library." The iPhoto Library appears as a file, but it is actually a package that contains folders and files that contain all of your photos plus data that keeps track of all the info related to the photos (reference léonie's comments).
The easiest way to backup your photos is to just make a copy of your iPhoto Library to an external drive. That way everything about your photos will be backed up.
If you backup your entire partition on a regular basis, something you should consider if you're not currently doing it, your iPhoto Library would be part of that backup.

Where exactly are the comments from my iWeb Site stored?

Anybody know where on my iDisk the user entered comments for my iWeb blog entries are stored? I looked around and couldn't find anything obvious.

Hmm interesting, although I'm not sure I follow the goal of your suggestion. What does appending this to the end of my blog link get me?

Where exactly are my picture files on my hard drive?

I have iPhoto 4.0.3 and I also have Photoshop CS. All of my snapshot photos I've imported and stored in iPhoto, my serious pictures of done all through Photoshop.
When I go through Photoshop File, Browse, I can't figure out where the photos in iPhoto are stored on my hard drive. I go through My Computer but I don't see the Pictures folder anywhere. Additionally, when I just try to find the pictures through Finder, I go to Pictures, iPhoto Libray, and the year, the month, and the day and I don't see any photos. I see a "data" file but no list of jpegs or anything.
I absolutely don't know where any of this stuff is and I'm having such trouble finding anything that's been lost in the abyss of iPhoto! Can anyone please clarify? Thanks!

Hope,
You do not want to rummage around in the iPhoto Library Folder - the database - in the Pictures Folder.
iPhoto Terms
iPhoto
The application is designed to do EVERYTHING working in the application with the options available in the window and menus. Basically, once a photo has been imported into iPhoto (file copied to the database) that file is available only through the application. To use it some place else (that is not an iPhoto option) - export, or drag it from the window.
Photo Library
Note: that is "Photo Library", not "iPhoto Library". This is the option you see in the source window to display all the photos imported into iPhoto.
iPhoto Library (Folder)
To avoid grief please read this carefully!. The iPhoto Library is a folder that iPhoto creates and by default puts in your user Pictures Folder. This folder is the database where iPhoto actually stores everything you have done in the application. iPhoto keeps this folder in a special way, with special files, folders and subfolders.
Leave this folder alone. Don't add, delete or change anything in this folder. If you do - the database can collapse like a house of cards. Don't browse through it with other applications, like email, one slip can mean disaster.
iPhoto can work with several databases - iPhoto Library folders - but can only open and work with one at a time. These folders can be renamed and stored anywhere - as long as iPhoto knows the name and location - and is directed to open with the folder you select. If you want to move or backup the iPhoto Library folder - you must work with the ENTIRE folder. Don't try to move or backup pieces of the folder.
Some backup programs may actually split the archive so that it can be stored on CD's or DVD's ( depending on the room needed). If the backup program can restore the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to its original condition - this may work. But please test the backup and restore before you really need it.

O365 SharePoint Online. Search no longer working. Where exactly are crawl logs?

On o365/SharePoint Online 2013
A few weeks Search stopped working on existing sites in SPO. New site seem to index fine. We can't find files and list entries inside doc libs and lists now.
I'm looking at Search Settings in o365 and have added myself to have access to Crawl logs,
but where are they in SPO?
We've tried re-indexing sites, but it has not helped.
All search settings are the default, and I don see any exclusion of sites.
Also, can somebody tell me what the typical turn around time is for expecting a document just added to show up on Search?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to see the crawl log in the SharePoint online.
Per my experience, the users in the security group can view the crawl log data via the
eDiscovery portal to check whether crawled content was successfully added to the search index, or whether indexing failed because of an error.
For more information, you can refer to the following article.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/crawl-log-permissions-HA103675567.aspx
As this is the forum for the SharePoint server, I recommend you can post your question to the forum for SharePoint Online:
http://community.office365.com/en-us/forums/154.aspx.
More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to SharePoint Online.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Thanks & Regards,

Where exactly are old versions of files stored on the harddisk?

The way the new versions-feature works is actually too magical for me. For sake of control I want at least to know, where all those old versions of documents are actually stored on my harddisk. With that knowledge perhaps further questions like how to delete old versions become redundant.

yep, ur right. my dream of distributing versions of documents all in one file are dashed. When you copy a versioned document to another machine you get this:
And guess what - there was a message initially where the "No previous..." is that said, and get this, "Retrieving versions from TimeMachine." So that's how they are doing it folks.
Implications? Smoke and mirrors or true innovation?

Where exactly are InDesign icc print profiles?

Hi,
I'm in the process of calibrating a color printer we have down in our Copy Center. It's just a Xerox. I'm confused about where to put any resulting .icc profile files, though. When I look at all that are available in InDesign when creating a PDF Preset, I can't actually find the files themselves that are listed anywhere on my Mac. For example, I can't find the profile "US Newsprint (SNAP 2007)" or "Euroscale Coated v2" anywhere on my Mac. My calibration software stores the profiles in \users\me\library\colorsync\profiles, and, some, but not all, show up in Indesign.
Thanks,
Peter

I don't know abpout the Mac, but on Windows color profiles are stored at he system level (equivalent to your colorsync folder) and also in the CommonFiles\Adobe\Color\Profiles folder and there is also a Recommended subfolder in there, which can move them to the top of the list.

Where exactly are modem settings stored?

I was trying to add my wife's phone to the list of devices we used to connect to the internet as bluetooth modems last night, and all **** broke loose. We're on T-Mobile in the UKI, I use a Nokia 6280 and she has a 6300.
I've been connecting fine, and so thought adding her phone would be simplicity itself. But nope. Couldn't get her phone working which was no big deal as she hardly uses it, but I use the phone everyday as a modem and now it's not working either.
I think it's something to do with the port settings on Bluetooth but I can't be sure. Anyhow, despite trying to mess around with the Ross Barkman's scripts and info at Taniwha.org.uk, I still haven't had any job.
T-Mobile won't help, as I do pay 12.50 GBP per month to use their dedicated 3G service, so I'm on my own. I suddenly realised I could just restore the files Time Machine from before all this happened, but I don't know precisely where to look. Specifically, where will I find the files containing the setting changed by adding new phones, storing details of paired phone, port details and network settings such as APNs, Script details etc? If I can get those, I can just restore and hopefully everything would be OK. Help gratefully appreciated!

I have a new iPhone 6 plus and all is OK. But the mail shows more than 400 'unread' messages whereas there are none in the mailbox or trash or anywhere else I have looked. I can send and receive with no problem. I'm sure I have no unread messages.

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Hi saiyed adil,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it.
It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
All the best,
Jeremy
