How OS X and iOS report storage capacity - Apple Support
From that support document, you can calculate that a 64GB iPhone has in reality around 59GB of usable storage, minus space taken up by  iOS, and Apps . 55 GB left is about right.
A 64 GB phone has 64 GB of storage. However, the display on the phone is measured in binary where 1 KB = 1024 bytes. So the phone will display that 64 GB as 59 GB, but it is still 64 GB when expressed in decimal.

  • Why does my account say I only have $5 when I should have approx. $86?

    I recently bought a Mac for college and I was given the $100 iTunes/App Store gift card.  I've only used it for two small purchases, after which I should have approximately $86 remaining; yet, when I view my account, it says I only have $5 and if I try to make a purchase of more than that, I'm told that I don't have sufficient funds.  Is there any way I can correct this?

    That would be an issue that you need to discuss with the iTunes/MAS support folks. When you sign into your account on the iTunes app on your computer check your purchase history. There is an invoice there for verything that you have purchased. If there is a question about a purchase listed, there is a link to iTunes Support from the invoice.

  • Why does my 4th Generation, 8GB only have a 6.43GB capacity?

    That hardly makes any sense to me.That's 1.5GB I don't have on my 8GB product! That's a lot of space that's missing. I took a screen shot so you can see it really does say 6.43GB.

    That makes perfect sense. I'm new to the Apple World and it's actually my son's ipod. He bought it with his bday money. After asking around, I figured 8GB would be enough by majority of the feedback I got from friends. He also has an old nano that holds a lot more for obvious reasons. Had I researched it, I probably would've let him get a 32GB. TV Shows and Movies take up all the space. I guess we'll just be rotating media a lot. At least we learned a lesson and he'll have something to upgrade to in a few years.
    Thanks for your help!

    However, I can tell you that in Canada, the content and even local french content is making its way since a few years now.

  • Why does my iPhone say it doesnt have any more storage?

    My phone had about 250-300MB of free space.  Then, I synched it with my computer.  It said I had to delete some stuff because it didnt have enough room to synch.  So I deleted about 1GB of apps, and as part of the synch, I updated 2 apps that were around 50MB combined.  Keep in mind these are basically replacing apps that were already on the phone.  Now, it still says I dont have enough room to put them on my phone, and iTunes is telling me I am 314MB over capacity.  If it all fit on there before, and I only put 50MB on there but I took 1GB off, how is this possible?  I have an iPhone 5 and the latest version of iTunes.

  • When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size?

    When importing RAW files in Photoshop why does camera raw 8.6 only import 1 size from canon 5d mark iii, in older versions I used to be able to import the files as larger images. It use to have a number of options for the images size. The option now is smaller than the maximum size used to be.

    You know what - I'm sorry
    I'd had a crazy long all-nighter session sorting out images for a client, then decided - when I should have simply gone to bed - to set up the new photoshop. At the very start I made a silly mistake, tried to sort it out then decided to call it a day, responding to your remarks with the problem still in my head but feeling more and more tired.
    Responded again to your comment earlier with the problem still in my head but not in front of me on the screen - however with a fresh head I just turned it all on, opened up PS and today could instantly see what was going on - Oops!
    Thank you for being patient with a sleep deprived photographer who must have been getting annoying yesterday
    I am officially embarrassed

  • Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??

    Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??
    I have a 24 second clip I layered in Ps and when I import the psd into Pr THE SEQUENCE IS ALWAYS ONLY 10 SECONDS!
    How can I change this?  Why does this happen?  I really need to know as soon as possible.  I have a video project due this Wednesday (granted it's for an AV class where I'm just learning Pr.  But I can learn VERY FAST!)
    Thanks for your help.

    Just in case I wasn't clear in my last line "just Click-drag on the Tail of your .PSD to set the desired Duration," once you have Imported your .PSD (as Footage), just drag it to the Timeline, Click-drag on the right-hand margin (the Tail) and stretch out its Duration, as is required.
    Now, if you Imported as a Sequence, open that Sequence's Timeline, and do the same.
    I normally will set my Edit>Preferences>Still Duration to about what I think will be applicable, do my Import, and then with the Info Panel handy, just alter the Duration to suit.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Why does my white balance temperature slider have 1-100 values?

    Why does my white balance temperature slider have 1-100 values instead of a sliding Kelvin value?

    Thanks Rob. I used two Mark III bodies on a job. One had just been sent back from being repaired by Canon and apparently they reset everything. I didn't even check the file type because I only ever shoot RAW.

  • Why does it say "verifying phone number" in settings under iMessage? It worked properly in past.

    Why does it say "verifying phone number" in settings under iMessage? It worked properly in past.

    Go to supportprofile.apple.com and remove your device. Alternatively you can call in to apple and have Apple look up your phone number. They may be able to remove it from their end.
    If it does not show up in either of these places, have the people whe own the other iPhone send you a message> this message will be blue for an iMessage> have them push an hold on that message and select the option "send as text"> this should send the message as green> do this two - four time till it starts sending as green on its own.> this should fix it.
