HT201656 In itunes my iphone shows up as having nearly 8G of "Other"...what is taking up all this space?

In itunes my iphone shows up as having nearly 8GB of "Other"...what is taking up all this space?
On the iphone itself under settings, general, usage it indicates 12.7GB used and only 840MB available. I have one app (Audible) that is taking up 1.6GB, photos&camera take up 636MB, Spotify takes up 495MB, everything else takes up less less than 100MB each and totalling less than 2.5GB.
So if Audible is taking up 1.6GB and Spotify is taking up 636MB and all other apps take up 2.5GB this combined totals around 5GB. I have a 16GB iphone 4s.
16GB minus 5GB (my calculated usage) equals 11GB remaining. Allow for some required space utilization (let's say 3GB) and that leaves 8GB remaining. Why does my phone indicate 840MB available? That seems to equate to the amount shown in itunes that indicates 8GB of "other".
What is this 8GB of "other" that is taking up so much storage space on my iphone?
Thanks in advance.

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup...
But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

AppleTV: How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming from my iTunes?

How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming music from my iTunes?
Thanks.

Thank you Winston. I guess we need to ask that this feature gets added at least as an option in an upcoming release. When someone is using shuffle, it helps to know what is playing while viewing pictures.
Where is my Apple request button when one needs it ? :-) Cheers, C

I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network?

I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network? (I can't seem to find a way to see it).
My computer is acting....well, strange. I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't seem right. Menus look skewed. Some applications look like they're trying to disguise themselves as apple (no consistant window formats). Airplay turns on and off on my devices on it's own. And some locked system preference seem to unlock themselves, or won't even grey-out after I lock them.
I have changed my password many times but the issue keeps coming back. I feel like I'm going crazy - but I know that something just isn't right...maybe someone's been hacking me? (I have no idea why...)
Anyway, maybe I could have stemmed from an improper setup of my wireless network.
Any thoughts?
Also, right now, when I just signed into apple communities....
     I have an iCloud email address that is accociated with my 1 and ONLY Apple ID...
     It seems to have been working but...
     When I loged in here it only saw my:
                              OLD MacBookPro
                              3 Old iPods
                              My new MacMini with OS X Sever (Server is currently turned off)
     Could my Apple ID be confusing my MacBook (which I'm currently using) as an old iPod or my old MacBookPro?
     I doesn't even see my iPad (1st generation), or my iPhone 5
     Also, the Mac App store is giving me the option to download Mountain Lion??? I already have version 10.8.3...
Can anyone perform an analysis on my account and computer? I have been to the Apple Store 6 seperate time and the problem was not resolved (after 6 COMPLETE hard drive wipes).
PLEASE HELP!

i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.

TS1510 I synced one nano to my iTunes library, but I can't get the other one to sync? What do I need to do?

This should be in the iPod Nano forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_nano. You are in the iPhone forum. I'll ask the mods to move this for you.

Good day AMELIASARAH,
One resolution to your issue would be to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer rather than over the air. This requires much less space on the iPhone as most of the work is done by the computer. See this article for how to do it -
If you need more space for an iOS update - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

You can enable disk use in iTunes and browse your iPod, or you can restore your iPod so everyting on it would be erased.

The "playhead indicator" is a twofold tool. Click on the "clock" icon and it switches to Project Length:
You can click and drag on the time clock to increase the project length if you need to see what's going on beyond your Play Range.
The image below is an overview of parts. The Timeline view is opened to reveal layer timing.
The "mini timeline" (the bar under the canvas above the clock) shows the entire project length. Usually that's the same length as the default Play Range. Use the play head clock to add more time if you need to reveal longer media "tails". You will not change the Play Range by doing so (you'll have to do that "manually"). You can even Share/Export your project with respect to Play Range as opposed to Project Length (there's a drop down option for that upon export.)
If you're creating a template, FCPX only "sees" the play range.
It's not a cool one-click option... it's just the way it is in Motion.

Open/file in CS6 only shows the blue psd file. I want to see what it looks like if open.

I posted this earlier, but now I can't find it in the forum?

You could use Bridge, or depending on your operating system, use one of the codec packs that let you view PSD thumbnails in Windows Explorer. (I don't know OSX)
This seems like a popular choice for Windows 7

Personally, I just use Bridge, but I can see how an app like Sage Thumbs would be useful

I have a new iphone how can I see what is on iCloud from my old iphone?

I have new iphone and ipad. How can I see what is on my old iphone on iCloud so I can delete some space???

If you mean you want to see what is stored in the iCloud backup of your old phone, you can't. You can only see data in a backup by restoring it to your device.
If you mean you want to see the data you old phone was syncing with icloud, either go to icloud.com from your computer or sign into the account on your new phone in Settings>iCloud and turn on the data you want to see. It will then download to your phone.

How can I see what is on iTunes match

how can I see what is on iTunes match?

Hi,
Open iTunes on your computer, add iCloud status to song view. This will tell you if a track has been matched, uploaded or purchased.
If you have match turned on on your phone you will see all the music that you have in the cloud.

How do I "see" what is behind a "?" when this shows up rather than an image?

How do I ”see” what is behind a "?" when this shows up rather than an image

The "?" in a graphics container box means that the file can't be read, hasn't been downloaded or is simply unavailable.
If you'd tell us where, exactly, you're seeing this icon, we may be able to help. If it's in email, for example, usually all you have to do is select "download pictures" (I use Outlook, so I don't know the Mail equivalent).
Call back with some more detail...
