it can be a lot of things, but typically, if you have files in other apps, that's other. so I have podcasts in the downcast app, and I think those show up in other.

On my iPhone, I keep getting logged out of B.org. I have had to log in about 15 times in the past 2 days? Any thoughts?
Also, is it the google transit that does not work in the new OS? I use the maps feature to find buses all the time, so I don't want to upgrade unless that works

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So we had this crappy WiFi router at work, and yesterday my boss bought a new Apple Airport Express base station. I disconnected the old WiFi router and installed the Airport Express, giving the WiFi network the same name and password as the old one.
This morning my MacBook Pro and my boss's MacBook Air did not automatically connect to the new Airport Express, but we connected manually just fine. But my iPad doesn't have internet access, despite connecting to the new Airport Express. I tried having it forget the WiFi network, then rebooted the iPad and logging back into the WiFi network. It connects, but I my apps still tell me I don't have internet access.
The iPad connects fine to my home network. Any ideas?

OK, question--when synching my iphone, it shows how much space I'm using for audio, video, photos, apps...and "other". Other is suddenly taking up over 2 gigs--anyone know what other might be? I can't figure it out.Could be pdf's from mail, or Goodreader. Any files you created in an office type app. Maps in a non-free GPS (Navigon or TomTom, for example). Game saves. Game data. I think ringtones?? Not positive on that one.

Proxy?
Static Gateway or DNS Server set on iPad?
Are you getting an IP Address from the Airports DHCP?

Thanks, Gud. The Airport hadn't been set up with the correct DNS. Apparently my MacBook Pro and my boss's MacBook Air still remembered the DNS setting from the old WiFi router, which is how they could still connect to the intertubes.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I want to store my itunes library on a small (purse-sized) external hard drive and I need it to be about 70-128 gigs.
I was thinking about flash drive, but I am not sure how good they are past 60 gigs.
anyone have recommendations for a small drive (like credit card size or smaller) in this range?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I don't feel confident about the security--no overt reason, but I'm coming over a bit Liese, you know?
As is right and proper.
I think I need to sit down and have a good think about how I want to be managing all my converging security stuff. There is definitely a balance to be struck between security and convenience, and I'm no longer sure where that is. I'm letting an awful lot of stuff just sort of happen, because somehow the phone feels different, security-wise, when really, it's much worse, because, you know, I carry it around and lay it down places.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I use pattern access control on both my tablet and phone, which was funny as shit, because I wanted to give my sister access and she just couldn't get what I was doing. But I also use facial recognition on my phone, and I have a sneaking (Better Off Ted-inspired) suspicion that she can get in with her lovely mug anyway.

I use pattern access control, but I'm pretty sure you could just look at the grease smear across my touchscreen and access it.
