OTHER on Iphones what is all this its taking up valuable storage space i want to use?
Why do I get so mush space taken up with this mysterious Other on iTunes.
Despite restoring as a new phone I still have .4Gb of space swallowed up
any ideas how you get rid of it?
.4 gig of other is iOS and normal. Operating system has
to be stored somewhere. If Other starts to exceed 1 gig,
then restore to get it back down.

Ok, What is all this "other" taking up space on my iphone and how do I get rid of it? It's taking up almost half the space on my phone.
"Other" includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, app data, Safari cache, cookies and bookmarks, stored passwords, search index, home screen organization, wi-fi network data, etc. It should normally be about 1 GB. Yours in an indication there may be corrupt data on your phone.
Unfortunately the best solution to fix your issue is a restore. Back up your phone, then restore it using iTunes. Follow this guide:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414. -
I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

My Time Capsule is giving me a warning that double NAT situation is occurring and recommends that I set it to bridge mode What is all this about please can it be explained in layman's terms and not martian thank you.
You have two devices....the Netgear and Time Capsule both configured to act as routers on the network. You only want one device providing this service.
I suggest that you configure the Time Capsule in Bridge Mode as suggested to eliminate the Double NAT error. Unfortunately, the Guest Network cannot be enabled in this setting.
No other adjustments are needed and everything else will operate normally...and the Time Capsule will still be providing your wireless network signal.
Once the Time Capsule is configured in Bridge Mode, it would be an excellent idea to perform a complete power cycle on the network to allow things to reset properly.
Just power off all devices on the network in any order that you want
Wait a minute
Start the Netgear device first, and let it run a minute by itself
Start the Time Capsule next the same way
Continue starting devices one at a time the same way until everything is powered backup
The other option you have is to "ignore" the error and the light will turn green. The Double NAT error may...or may not cause some issues for you down the line. The next time that you update the Mac operating system, or update the firmware in the Time Capsule, it may likely change the Time Capsule to Bridge Mode automatically.
If your Guest Network "disappears", you will know why this happened, and you will have to manually configure the Time Capsule again in Router Mode to provide DHCP and NAT services.
Double NAT can also cause a slow down of web page loading. You may...or may not....notice this. -

I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)
You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone. -
We have 2 iphones, the ipad autosync'd up to the phone we did not want to use. How do we change that?
itunes accounts are not the same as icloud accounts. It's okay to use the same ID for the itunes account on different devices owned by different users. That way you share purchased items. But for icloud, each user should have their own account if they want their own data, otherwise data is shared among all users.

Can I use Apple store from a country other than the country I live in. Example: I live in USA and want to use Apple store in Thailand to buy and download thai content.
No, you can only buy content from your own country's store - to be able to buy form another store you need a valid billing address in that country and be in that country when buying from it. You can try requesting that the content that you want be added to the US store, but ultimately it's the content providers (record companies, film studios etc) that will have to grant Apple a license to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Hello, I am out of internal storage on my Iphone 4 ALREADY (Just purchased 3 months ago!). I need to clear up some space so I can do updates and take new photos. I was thinking about backing up my Photo Stream to the icloud and then deleting my Camera Roll.
1.) Is this a terrible idea??? I do NOT want to lose those photos! But I NEED more space on my phone!
2.) Will deleting Camera Roll free up space (a sufficient amount? My Camera Roll is at 4.5 GB)?
3.) Will deleting Camera Roll delete my photos from Photo Stream also? It doesn't seem to.
4.) Does Photo Stream ever automatically delete photos???
5.) Is there anyway I can save the pictures from my phone to my computer??? I can see the photos on my computer when viewing them through Photo Stream, but those are not permanent, correct?
This is one of the most ridiculous, confusing and unnessacary things I've ever known! Why oh why can't we just have a good ol' SD Card??? (My Droid never ever ran out of storage and I had it for 2 years...)
I tried backing up my photos in Itunes, but I don't have a new enough version. I tried downloading a new itunes and it still tells me I don't have the new version.
I have been working on this for 4 hours, its 2:30 am and I am going to bed. I am sorry I had to ask, but I've been searching and searching and just cannot find the answers. Thank you so much for your help!
6.) Also, I haven't been able to find the videos using the Icloud or the Photo Stream either...
7.) Do you have to have your device (pc) synced with icloud to access the info you backed up from iphone?? Like can I show my cousin my photos at her house using her computer by just loggin on??? Or can I only view my contacts, calender, mail, notifications, and such?
8.) Where on the icloud would one find text messages or other saved info??
Thank you so very much for helping me!!!What I would say is best is to import the videos and photos to your computer so that you can delete camera roll photos with a copy of them in your possession:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
In regards to backing up Photo Stream
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486:
Does Photo Stream use my iCloud storage?
"No. Photos uploaded to My Photo Stream or Shared Photo Streams do not count against your iCloud storage."
However, you can do the tedious task of moving your camera roll pictures to photo stream by ensuring photo stream is turned on for your device and take a screen shot of each picture in your camera roll to move it over.
To take a screen shot, just press the "Home Button" and the "Sleep/Wake Button" at the same time while viewing the image.
1.) It's not a terrible idea, it can be tedious though.
2.) Deleting a bunch of photos/videos from a camera roll 4.5GB in size can definitely free up space
3.) Photo Stream photos, as you said, appear to stay upon deleting the photos. (Tested it personally)
4.) Photo Stream has a limit according to: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858)
Essentially, it won't erase your photos until you tell it to.
5.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083 (As shown above)
6.) To update iTunes, you must download and then "Run" the download you get off the website. Otherwise you will just have an installer program sitting there not updating iTunes.
7.) You can bring up your Photo Stream pictures anywhere you have Photo Stream capabilities. For a computer at someone else's house, they would have to have the iCloud control panel (http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1455) on their computer and be signed into their Photo Stream and viewing your profile's pictures (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379)
8.) On iCloud, you can backup your text messages, but you cannot view them independently on www.icloud.com.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859
"You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails"
Hope some of this information helps! -
I recently got an Iphone and after I installed it on my computer my 2 ipods are no longer able to sync to the computer how do I get the computer to recognize the 2 different ipods so I can still use them?
Since you already had two iPod before getting the iPhone, what exactly did you need to "install" to use the iPhone? Doesn't it use to the same iTunes installation you already used with the iPods?
So, I guess my question is, what changed on the computer when you started using the iPhone?
What happens now when you connect the iPod? Is the iPod still seen in Windows device manager? -
Need to change acct to Canadian from American but it won't let me without using up my balance of $1.27. There is no way to spend exactly this amount. I do not want to use a credit card. I have a Canadian iTunes card that I want to redeem now that I'm living in Canada.
If you can't find anything for exactly that amount then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will remove the balance for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

What about all this spam on iphone!
Help! I have a great filter system on my mac and all spam hits the bulk mail folder for deletion, however, on my iphone I spend most of my time deleting spam messages manually. I have been to apple store with no success - they say there is no way to keep the spam out. I think that there must be a way! Suggestions please!!
RonAnnArbor:
You prove my point beyond even my expectations.
I said the additional SPAM was not a result of the iPhone.
I also do not think that it is even part of AT&T.
What I said is that is is interesting that my email SPAM has reached a magnitude higher than I ever experienced since registering my phone approximately 35 days ago.
You merely fortified what I said by telling me that your SPAM has doubled/tripled in the last 30 days. Makes me wonder where all of this SPAM is coming from since I registered my iPhone. Hackers!!! - Hmmm!!! Somebody selling a list of new iPhone users. Not a coincident at all. Think about when you registered your iPhone and when you started getting double the SPAM.
As I said I have been using AT&T for cell phone service for over 12 years and never experienced as much SPAM as since I registered my iPhone.

What is all this "Other" stuuf and how do I get rid of it? PLease help!!!
I had to restore my iTouch and it;s working fine now but my computer shows that it has like seven gigs of "other" content that dos not show up on my iTouch. This much space being taken up is preventing me from actually putting my music on my iTouch. Can anybody help me out?
Do you have any apps such as Air Video, VLC or ZumoCast that allow you to convert or sync media for use offline? Or any PDF readers that may have large PDF files associated? Any RSS readers or other aggregators that could have large caches of internet material?
In my experience these are the sorts of apps that generate a lot of 'other' content. Sometimes it's easy to forget what files you have associated with these apps. -
IMessages are working on my iphone 4s but not in ipad since I installed the new ios 6. I have tried various fixes others have mentioned but i still cannot send or receive messages on the ipad. Help?
I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.
