Why did remaining storage capacity suddenly change from 3.5 GB to 0.5 G???

When I wanted to synchronise my iPhone 3G yesterday I suddenly recognised that the storage capacity had sunk from 3.5 GB to 0.5 GB. The yellow bar suddenly had become longer and indicated 3 GB more "OTHERS" (other programs) than before. I didn´t have installed anything so far. What can be the reason for this???
Thanks for all your help!

I restored from a back up. All third party app data and settings seem to be preserved. HOWERVER, I went from 5.73 GB of OTHER Capacity data to 5.81 GB. So restore from a backup file is NOT a solution for this mess.
It seems that this is a file system problem in the OS that has persisted for years from the internet searches I've done.
I'm going to do a full restore, realizing that I will have to re-enter all the data that I did not want to lose. Some of the 3rd party apps have backup/restore import/export features. Some do not.
On a larger scale is this problem 1) acknowledged by Apple as a problem and 2) do they intend to actually solve it (i.e., not suggesting that I restore my phone from scratch destroying my data is actually a reasonable solution)?

Why did the country currency suddenly changed from € to $?

hi there,
since i tried to get some songs from australia, the country currency suddenly changed into $. now, i can't buy songs at itunes anymore, which is pretty sad! does anybody know how to fix that?
thanx,
lilly

Hi Lily,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You can only purchase through another country's music store if you have a billing address and a credit card in that country. So unless you have this, you are only able to purchase through the German store.
This is not the fault of Apple, it is to do with the record companies who hold the rights to the music. They decide which countries can have what.
Hope this helps
Cheers

Why did my calendar view suddenly change? Using iOS 7.1 and I've been using this version for a few weeks with no problem with my calendar. Now the view has changed and I can't view a list mode without seeing the month too

Why did my calendar view suddenly change in iCal? I've been using ios7 fôr a few weeks now with no problems. Suddenly, without any updates or anything, the calendar view changed and I can no longer view it as a list without having the entire month seen as well.

Hey Gattypyle,
Thanks for the question. You simply need to go back to Day/Week view, then tap the list-view icon once more.

Why did my sign in screen change from black to red?

For no obvious reason (which frustrates me the most out of any computer issue...) my computer sign in screen has changed from back to a pale red color. Though the computer still seems to be working properly *(except a bug change in iPhoto), I want to know if something bad is coming. People usually want to know why something they paid for is changing. Do I need to worry?
* iPhoto has decided to not import my new photos from my card and reader. It got started, and somewhere on the way sat there with nothing to show something was working.... the whirling thing or anything at all. When checking on it, by clicking on "eject" or trying to leave iPhoto, or even turn the computer off, it popped up a message saying to was still importing photos. It stayed like that for a day. I had to force quit but that's not an answer .What's going on? Can I trust importing photos again?

Why did my Acrobat application suddenly disappear from my computer?

All of a sudden my Acrobat application disappeared from my computer. Any inkling as to why this might happen? Now I can't download any PDFs.

You say that you have the activation code. Are you sure? Did you register Lightroom with Adobe? If you did you can always retrieve the code from your account. What do you mean when you say that you "plug it in" and it won't let you continue? What operating system are you using?

Why did the preset web resolution change from 72ppi to 135ppi?

Hi,
I just noticed this in the latest photoshop update. Is there a reason why this is? If this is to make designing for retina easier (not having to zoom as much in photoshop), why isn't it at 144?
Just curious – thanks!

I guess if you are a web designer, 72 is kind of a benchmark for Mac screen resolutions going back to the mid-1990s. 96 is the Windows standard of 640 x480 px.
It's kind of weird. Those two screen resolution standards are no longer common and I would think browsers today would adjust to fit the screen.
I wouldn't even worry about the number in the resolution field.

Why am i having problems since changing from snow leopard loading maverick

Yes you solved your own question, use printer handles color, whcih shodul have been the default. If you do want to experiment with Photohsop manages color, try the CMYK profiles, and send a cmyk file. Only exception is if you print to one of the few RGB printers like a lambda.

Why have the font sizes in my existing emails suddenly changed from uniform to mixed?

All of a sudden the font sizes in my existing emails have changed from the same size to different sizes -- some larger, some smaller. Also, in some cases the font has changed from normal to bold. I used to be able to solve this problem when it happened before by closing and reopening TB, but that doesn't work anymore. I haven't made any changes to the font settings. Any suggestions?

probably related to the original ISSUE. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1007786#answer-597502

HT204365 Why did all my PDF files disappear from ibooks on my iPad

All of my PDF files disappeared from iBooks on my iPad. Where and why did they suddenly disappear? How can I retrieve them?

As far as I can work out, from incomplete downloads, ticks denote all downloaded ok.
The manually manage option is for those who want to tailor their library collections in Music and Video to specific items. If you have this ticked, then it will sync with the sync selections in your devices pages (eg, Music, videos).
If you want to sync all of your collection 'all' the time, leave manually manage off and put the a tick in the devices' page to sync all items Dependent on iCloud use, and or automatic download options in iTunes, new purchased items are added and synced automatically as they are added - this only applies to Store purchased items.
If you are going to added content outside of the Store, then Manually Manage is the option to take for Music and Videos - it does not affect anything else. IE Apps or podcasts, etc.
If you have manually manage off, and 'selected playlist' option ticked, then it will sync existing ticked items, but new items downloaded will require you tick them (a) after the next iTunes automatic download when it connects to the store and downloads any items, or (b) you download to a device and then sync the device, in which case it transfers the new download to your library - but, as happened to you, deletes it from your idevice.
Retcicking and resyncing will add the item back on next sync.
Don't forget that whenever making any kind of manual change to hit Apply and resync, to stop changes being lost.
However, and i cannot stress this enough, iTunes is very problematic, especially when handling large collections. Its sync operations can be erratic or non-functional at times (even buggy perhaps)
If all options fail, then go to your program installation control folder (Control panel\Programs etc on windows) and select to repair iTunes.
And if you have not already got it

Why did all of my dashes "-" change to "&ndash" after my client made in browser edits and I accepted

I created a site in Muse. Published out to Business Catalyst and all was good. My client made several hundered edits from the Biz Cat dashboard. They then asked me to make some more substantial edits to the design so when I opened Muse, I accepted the edits they had made. On each page there is a column for Customer quotes. Each quote is signed of with a name.... such as "- Judy Miller." I noticed, after accepting the inbrowser eidts that all dahses before the names now had "&ndash Judy Miller." I tested in preview and sure enough, it was there still. So I then did a preview in browser forcing the page to load through the server and unfortunately the &ndash was still in front of the name. So I opened my browser and pulled up the site to make sure it still had the correct dash and it did as I had not published from Muse since accepting the inbrowser edits.
Why did that happen?
How can I prevent it from happening in the future?
Right now I am stuck in limbo as I can not publish out in fear of populating the site with dash replacements. I can go in and change everyone and then make the changes I was supoosed to make for the client but who is to say it won't happen again and again?
Thanks for any info you can shed on this. I have been on chat support for over an hour now and still have not gotten a hold of a support agent at Adobe. That clearly sucks and they should employ more people to handle the problems when they occur.
Wes

Hi Wes,
You've encountered a bug that has been reported by at least one other user, but one that we haven't been able to reproduce internally. To help us investigate this, could you determine which browser/platform (inlcuding versions) you client had used to make the edits?
Also, if you could send your Muse file to [email protected] (with a link to this forum post), I can look at fixing it, reverting all "&ndash" instances to "–". Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Why did the "custom" size option disappear from list when creating a PDF in Photoshop?

For my job, I must have the custom option available to me in Photoshop. I'm currently using CS4 and have been for years without a problem. Yesterday "custom" option from the choose size list disappeared, along with several other options (that I don't use). I have shut down the program and restarted. I've shut down the computer - even over night - and it is still gone. Why did this happen and how do I get this very important tool back?

This one. It only appears once a download has begun.

Why do my emails keep suddenly dissapearing from the inbox?

Why do my emals suddenly dissapear from the inbox?

I'm not throwing in the towel, just bummed.
The OS and App faults have cost me hundreds of hours and irreplacable loss of photos, receipts and all the other kinds of stuff you keep on a computer.
I'm actually very impressed with the hardware transition. I've found only one serious bug related to the hardware (Airport won't work after resume from sleep - takes a hard reset).
The bummer is that I've documented a ton of faults in the OS and delivered apps. Fortunately each release fixes some of them, but I don't think its responsible commercially or ethically to release a commercial product with so many faults - Can you imagine if this were a car? It would have to be a VW - lousy quality (I should know, having a bunch of them!)
Anyhow, just venting. I'll replicate, document and report the issues I find to help make it better In the mean time I'm slowly learning automator and applescript to fix or work around the issues I find.
