I never said the packages were duplicated 7 times. They're only duplicated twice in the package list because I use the same IDs as the official repos with an extra tag on it to show it's from the local repo. I kept the official repos because I like keeping up with what is getting updated/added...

For the record, I know of one lay to legitimately hit that limit. I run a custom repo that is hosted locally that I keep updated with the packages that I and my fiancée use the most often to save bandwidth (one download vs 7 for most items :P) and as a result we hit that limit because of some...

Is there a particular reason you can't/won't use WiFi?

On Windows it's 15%, on Linux it mostly depends on the underlying filesystem what works best but 10% is generally the norm there as well :) All those assume a traditional hard drive though. SSDs can usually get by with less freespace. On the two iPad's I've had 1GB seems to be the bare minimum...

I can't comment one way or the other about using the cloud too much since I make regular backups on my laptop and only use icloud as a secondary backup for cases where my primary isn't available. That said I've not personally had any issues for the most part except one minor incident involving...

In your iTunes preferences on the Devices section you can delete the backup and force it to make a new one. However it's not unusual for an iTunes backup to shrink when encrypted (although your difference does seem a bit extreme) because the encryption process does compress the data some as a...

I know it's possible on some Android tablets to do it that way so in theory at least it should work on an Android phone as well :)

That's not entirely true. Many manufactures have different vendor IDs in the MAC address of their wireless routers vs. their other hardware so it is possible in some cases. It's also possible to easily detect an iPad with basic packet inspection of Http requests. Actually, if they cared it's...

Yep, that's how it works with the exception of gifting. Gifting will always use your normal payment method instead of your gift card balance.

There is a macro builtin to that spreadsheet that wants to hook into the Excel window to watch for certain events. Those events aren't supported by the web version, and probably not any app on the iPad unless it's an app like Onlive that gives you access to a real (if slightly restricted)...

I've seen that 3 times. I won't discuss one since the person whose device it was is currently doing jail time for reasons related to it. The other two times I saw it one was because of a configuration profile that had expired but didn't auto-delete and the other was because the device was jail...

Out of curiosity is there anything listed in the setting app under General > Profiles? It sounds like a [possibly] corrupt profile was added to the device.

There were quite few last time I search both apps. If you like the IPF app I recommend trying Forum Runner first since the IPF app is just an IPF only version of Forum Runner :)

Actually, it says not supported, not that it won't work. They definitely won't provide you any support if you can't reproduce the problem on the same device without the jailbreak :)

Sounds like you accidentally started the Photo Booth app :) It's an icon with red curtains on it. My nieces and nephew love taking pictures with it and filling up my free space :P
