You can reduce the size to normal, which is about 1GB, by restoring the phone.
Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software
The size of this part can increase when something goes wrong during a sync, or some files can't be read anymore by iTunes.

  • How do I free up iCloud space if I don't know what is taking up that space?

    So I like to backup my phone to iCloud, but don't want to buy more storage space, because I don't have too much stuff on my iPhone. According to iCloud my next backup will be 5.3 GB, I have turned off documents and data, iCloud Keychain, and all of my apps except for 3 (Camera Roll (2.7GB), Find My iPhone (.6KB), and one other one that takes up about 700MB of space). I've also turned off all other the other things such as; Contacts, Calenders, Mail, etc. so I don't know why my next backup will be so large, is it the 3GB of "other" data that I see when I sync my phone, although that wouldn't add up to the 5.4 total I'll have next. I know I can delete old backups, my old one is 4.9GB, I'm just waiting until I can back it up again before I delete that one. If someone could please help me out that would be great, thanks!

    First, take care of the battery, which could degenerate into a serious hardware problem. Apple Store, etc.
    Second: your battery is so full I don't know what to suggest. Without knowing any better, I'd say increase your drive size to avoid the problem in the future.
    Please post your decision!

  • For some reason when I play my Imovie the second half of the movie's sound just stops working and I can't hear anything.  It was working before but now it isn't and I don't know what to do.

    When I was putting together an Imovie I put music in the background and it played fine in the beginning but now when I watch it the first half of the movie plays music while the second half is silent even though I put music there as i did with the first half.  So basically...the music in the second half of my movie is not playing like it used to.

    GUYS THIS IS URGENTLY URGENT PLEASE!! if it helps, maybe being the stupid person I am, I might have accidently muted it so maybe if you guys could just tell me how to unmute, or see what is muted that would be REALLY helpful.  Thanks
    By the way I know you just read this and you're probably wondering why I am replying to myself....BUT THAT IS JUST HOW IMPORTANT THIS QUESTION IS.  PLEASE HELP ME.

  • My 2nd generation Nano indicates that about half of the space is 'other'. Anyone know what that means and how I get rid of it? All I've ever downloaded is music.

    The Other data on your iPod is album art, file allocation structures, your main library file, and any other data that the iPod uses to read its songs. 
    You can have it removed by going to your itunes and plugging your ipod back into it.   Click the device then click the music tab then uncheck box that says include album artwork.. then sync again.. this time the OTHER stuff will now be removed.

    This cause me not to set up iCloud, so now what?

    I found this out on another thread
    There is no solution. There are limits to how many iCloud accounts that a device can have activated. It doesn't matter that it was by a previosu owner, it's the device that matters. Everything you do using an iDevice is tied to it's ID number, even Mac computers. This applies to the Apple store as well as the app store and everything iCloud related.

  • HT201269 why can't i sync my new iphone 5c to my itune when i plug my phone to my pc..it does not show sync panel like the previous iphone 4 that i have brought two years ago?

    Can anyone help me? Previously i was using iphone4 and everything is ok until i just change to iphone 5c. Whenever i plug the iphone4 in my cpu,it automatically sync to the itune when i can delete or store new photos from my pc to my iphone4..but after i change to the new iphone5c,i can't sync to my pc when i plug it to my pc...can anyone help?

    You can get your photos off your phone.  If they are all in Camera Roll just import them to your new computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).  If some of them were synced to your iphone from your computer (i.e., in photo library) just use an app like PhotoSync and send them to your new computer wirelessly.  For that matter, you can sync your phone with your new computer without losing your data and settings if you carefully follow this guide: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  Your only issue will be non-purchased music on your phone which is not in your new iTunes library, which will require 3rd party software such as Touch Copy to transfer from your phone to iTunes (or you will have to rip you CDs again to import them).

  • I'm stuck at the activation stage! I don't have the original sim card and I don't know what carrier it was originally on! How can I get into my phone?

    I was wondering if there was any way of accessing my iPhone 4 without a micro sim card. I am currently at the activating section, and after it tells you to find WIFI, it says to enter a sim card. I bought this iPhone off of my friend and he took out his original sim card! I dont know what carrier he was using. Is there any way I can access the phone just to play music on it for now?

    Buy a H20 Wireless micro SIM card off eBay for $.99. You can activate the phone/SIM from their website. H2O uses AT&Ts network.

  • When I'm going through Faces, I am finding faces that i don't have in my photos. Could anyone tell how to get rid of them or why they are there?

    I would appreciate any info someone could give me. I really don't know where they came from?

    Those symbols signify that the photos are in either a photo "stack" or version "set" (group).  Right-click on the "top" photo and choose "Stack" (or "Version Set") for the options to un-group the photos.
    Most likely, they are version sets that were created when you edited a photo in the Editor.  To prevent versions sets being created, pay close attention when you save a photo in the Editor -- by default the save options have the "Include in version set" option checked.

  • When dowloading and installing FireFox, I inadvertently also downloaded something called App Enable and I would like to know how to get rid of it, please.

    The unwanted application takes over the upper 20% of the browser window with a series of unwanted advertisements, and when I click on one of my bookmarks, the unwanted application (AppEnable) sometimes intercepts the request and send me elsewhere. I have tried to uninstall AppEnable, but it doesn't appear in the list of installed programs in the Windows 7 control panel. I have also scanned the computer for malware with Symantec EndPoint Protection and with Ad-Aware, but neither program can detect AppEnable.

    read this:
