HT1689 what is the "other" on my iPhone in the content use bar along the bottom of the screen when I sync my iPhone with iTunes on my computer

When I sync my iphone and ipad to itunes on my mac, I have a yellow bar listed as "other" taking space on my phone. Is this something that can be cleaned up on the iphone to make the space it is using avail? I have deleted some photos, music and apps to keep open space, but cannot seem to clean out this "other" and it is taking more space as the phone gets older. I assume it is fragmented data????

My phone has 2.14 GB of this "Other" data and it is driving me insane!!! i've been trying everything to reduce this bar and nothing is helping. i'm right there with you... just with a hole lot more data being taken up.

  • Does anyone know why or what is the reason when starting a new iMac with Lion a gray bar sometimes appears when loading software?

    Does anyone know why or what is the reason when starting a new iMac with Lion, sometimes a gray bar appears under the Apple that begins to shade to dark as it loads OS?  It does this on occasion.  One time the system loaded was VERY slow and terrible colors.  Pulled the plug, re-started the computer and it did not do this.  As I say, its only on occasion, not every time.  I noticed in the discussion page there were problems listed for 10.6 nothing for Lion.
    Please advise, if possible.

    You should see this 4 option menu.  Click on Disk Utility:
    In Disk Utility, Select FIRST AID and then VERIFY and then REPAIR the disk.

  • I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

    I deleted all my playlists provided. However, they are still on my Ipod Touch. Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied back into Itunes?

    A playlist takes up almost no room. A few kB at most.
    It is simply a list of songs in the library
    Do you want the playlists or not?
    Now, when I sync my Ipod with Itunes then the lists are copied backinto iTunes?
    Do you want them copied back into iTunes?

  • When I sync my iPad with iTunes it does not update the play count?  Is there a setting I need to change?

    When I sync my iPad with iTunes it does not update my play counts.  Is there a way to make this happen?

    Are you using iTunes Match by chance?  I had no problems whatsoever with play counts synching between any of my devices until I started using iTunes Match.  I turned it off and magically my play counts synced.  Once. Hasn't happened again though. 

  • When i sync my phone with itunes some of the songs always have the sync symbol next to them and are lighter than the others and i dont know how to get rid of them. help please

    when i have synced my phone with itunes there are old songs that i dont want. these songs always have the sync sign next to them but i dont know how to get rid of them, i have event deleted them from my library, my computer and hidden them on i cloud. help please

    Settings/ Music/ Show All Music/ OFF
    There is a parallel setting in Settings/ Videos/ which also includes Videos in the cloud, as well as Settings/ iTunes & App Store/ where you can set both Music and Video preferences.  But you only need to change a setting in one location.

  • HT1212 I have followed the instructions for "if you have never synced your decice with itunes" and my computer is telling me the device has been restored, however I still don't know how to unlock my phone??

    Having followed the instructions for "if you have never synced your device to itunes" and my computer displayed the message that the device has been restored, my phone is still saying its disabled and I should connect to itunes. What do I do now??

    Put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If that still doesn't work, as a last resort try DFU mode:

    If that still fails, you'll probably need to go to an Apple Store or call Apple Support for further assistance.

  • What is the Proper Way to "Sync My Music & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"

    What is the Proper Way for Me to "Sync My Music, Pictures & Apps to a New Computer Using ITunes"?
    I had to buy a New Computer since my other one went out, but when I log into ITunes with the New Computer using My Apple ID "Nothing is there"...
    None of My Previously Purchased Music or Apps are in My ITunes Media Library; so, I any not sure how to Properly Proceed with Syncing?
    Any Help & Guidance would be Greatly Appreciated!!!
    Thanks,
    Don

    Sounds like something might be wrong there. Years ago I set up the playlists to sync to my iPhone and 'Everything' for my iPod and I've never needed to change or even check it since, ever.
    However, how and why are you 'restoring' the iPod? This is not something you should ever need to do. If you restore back to original settings, then I guess that would throw away your own settings, but as I said, there should be no need to keep doing that. Or at all in fact.

  • What's the best way to manage movie resolutions with iTunes/iPod

    I've just been given a new video iPod, and am now considering importing movies into iTunes so that I can have them on my iPod. What I have is a bunch of MPGs (e.g., family movies from a camcorder, etc.); but I noticed that the iPod won't play them, presumably because they're not MP4 format. I know I can convert them all to MP4 with iSquint or a similar utility. But I want to keep the full-resolution versions in iTunes so that I can display them on a bigger screen as well. So, what is the right way to manage this - do I really need to keep and have in iTunes 2 versions of every movie - one scaled down for iPod as MP4, and one in original resolution? Or is there a better way?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
    What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
    You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices.

  • HT1386 Why didn't the the books and PDFs in my iBooks app on my iPhone transfer to my iPad 3 when I synced my iPad in iTunes on my computer

    Why didn't the contents of my iBook app on my iPhone transfer to my new iPad 3 when I synced the iPad in iTunes on my computer.? HELP PLEASE

    Are all books and PDF files available in the iBooks app on your iPhone available in your iTunes library on your computer?
    If so, is this content selected under the Books tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes?

  • I can not complete the sync of my iphone with itunes on my computer

    When I connect my iPhone to my computer (PC) with USB cable it opens the itunes store, finds my iPhone and begins the sync process. Then it starts transferring new purchases and updates to my apps and times out
    Then I get the error message Attempting to copy to the disk "OS" failed. The device timed out.
    I also get an error message with iTunes help diagnostics that says "Secure link to iTunes Store Failed"
    Are these error messages because of my iPhone or iTunes or some obscure settings on my PC. This did not happen until I updated several apps, purchased a new book and purchased and downloaded the Sky Walk app on my phone.

    I recently upgraded from an iMac to a MBP. I also have an Axim v50 pda which I sync with my work Dell. I no longer can use Pocket Mac to sync with my MBP. Has anyone been able to sync via USB with a PDA and MBP directly using the Parallels.com software?
    Other ideas to sync using PC XP operating on the dual core?

  • I appears on the screen when you turn a folder with question mark that can not do

    Finder with question mark

    Shut down your Mac by holding down the power button until the screen goes black.
    Then startup while holding down the Option key.
    if the disk is ok, at some point you should see the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then restart.
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

  • HT1296 When i try to sync my ipad with itunes on my computer it gives me an error message saying that the sync session failed to start."  How can i fix this??

    When i try to sync my ipad with the itunes on my computer it gives me an error message.  " The sync session failed to start.  How can i fix this??  I had to uninstall itunes on my computer because of runtime error R6034.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

  • Syncing my iPhone with itunes on two computer

    Hi,
    How come iTunes won't let me sync with two computers? It's really annoying, as I sometimes download stuff on my laptop and would like to transfer it to my iphone (without having to connect it to my workstation, which is at home).
    This is really annoying. Why is apple making us do this?

    DRM issues so you can't copy music from one computer to the next using your iPhone. I had the same problems. So what I did is just made my main computer the "sync", and then set the 2nd computer to "Manual." I can sync up applications, etc, and still listen to audio from the iPhone when on the 2nd computer. It just can't be on the 2nd computer if that makes sense.
