My iPhone 4 says that there is not enough memory to download apps like Facebook and Instagram. When plugged into iTunes it says that >4GB is filled with "other". How do I clear the "other"?  What is this?

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...

  • Why does my Mac keep telling me that there is not enough memory when I need to open Excel?

    I have Excel installed on my iMac.
    I only use this rarely, mostly when I have grants to write for my students.
    When I try to open Excel, to look at an old document, I get the message that there is not enough memory, even though my Mac right now has 74 GB available.
    I really, really, really need to access these files, so am hoping for an answer to this puzzle!
    Thanks so much!!!

    OK, so here's what I did.
    First time, I reinstalled Office: 2008.  It must have sent the first one to the trash, because there were 9200+files in the trash once it was finished.  It looked for updates but didn't tell me that it needed any, so I tried to access Excel again, but got the same error message.
    So, then I dragged the whole Microsoft Office 2008 to the trash (it is still sitting there----question about this, too).  I reinstalled the whole thing again, but this time, it identified 3 updates that also needed to be installed.  I did that, and now, I am able to open Excel!
    Now my question about the trash:  if I empty the trash, am I going to lose all the files (especially worried about all the Word documents) that I had used the original one for, or, are all those documents, and the Excel files, still  there after the trash with the original Office 2008 is emptied; I wasn't able to only drag Excel to the trash so had to drag the whole thing.
    Am thinking that somehow those updates were never applied, which is very puzzling, because the first time I reinstalled, it didn't say anything about needing updates, but the second time, it did.
    Thank you!

    I just upgraded to Yosemite. Now when I try to open one particular document in Excel, I get a message that there's not enough memory.  I can open other documents.  The document I can't get to is the spreadsheet of my passwords.  Go figure.  When I check the storage under "about this Mac" it says I have 150 GB of 249 GB.  I have a MacBook Air.  Help please.  Thanks, Connie

    when i try to open excel in mac I receive a message that there is not enough memory. Why s this?

    As Excel is not an Apple product, I believe you will get more useful help by using Microsoft's support community for Office:Mac here:
    Office for Mac forums
    They are as active and helpful as these, and sometimes employees from the MS Mac Business Group are available for helping.
    Be sure to show which version of Office:Mac you have when posting there. It can make s difference in advice offered.

  • I'm trying to update iphone 4s to 5.1 but when plugged into Itunes it says network connection cannot be established and error downloading 5.1

    I'm having trouble updating software for my iphone 4s from 5.0.1 to 5.1 but each time i plug into itunes to download it says network connection cannot be established and the phone just says an error has occured.  What can i do?

    If you don't have iOS 5, plug your iPhone into your computer, select it in iTunes, and in the Summary, click Check for Update.
    If you do have iOS 5, it has onboard updates so you don't have to plug it in, just go to Settings, click General, click Software Update and you will be presented with iOS 5.1 which came out a few hours ago. Both my iPhone 3GS and iPad are already updated to iOS 5.1 now.

  • What can i do to get my ipod to update? Says that there is not enough space to download these items. Please delete some photos or videos. There are none on it.

    Help please!

    Accidentally hit "helpful answer" on my own post, how do you undo?!
    Anyways, I cleared more space by simply deleting videos on my iPhone.
    It appears that there are definitely cases where the iPhone requires MORE than 2x the amount of space the app takes up in order to install the app.
    It would be useful if Apple could make this requirement a bit clearer.

  • Just cleared all programs on ibook, yet says it there is not enough memory

    I went to the genius bar and they fixed a software issue my computer had by wiping my entire harddrive clean. When I came home and tried to install a program, however, my computer told me that there is 0KB of space left. I installed Appleworks successfully, but there aren't any other programs on my computer. There's no way all of my space is used up. Any help?

    That is good! The 10.04 on disk is the OS and all the applications and your data and all the stuff that is on your hard drive. The 45.72 is what's free and available, so yes indeed you do have lots of free space. 10.04 GB sounds about right for the OS and a few other things. It's about what I had after an Erase and Install.
    Now I wonder about the message saying that you had 0 KB of space--I am wondering where you got that from and under what circumstances. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the actual free space on your hard drive. Maybe you could explain how you got that message.
    Now that you have established that you do in fact have lots of space, there are a couple of free programs you can download that will tell you what is using up your disk space:
    WhatSize: http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/
    Disk Inventory X: http://www.derlien.com
    If you did an Erase and Install, you won't have a "Previous System" folder. If you did an Archive and Install, it should be on your desktop.
    The oddity here is the "0 KB" message you got--it just doesn't make any sense in view of your hard drive. I wonder if in fact it might have referred to something else entirely?
    Good luck!

  • Why does my macbook pro keep showing me the force quit screen and states that there is not enough memory?  The activity monitor shows that there is plenty of memory available.

    The message displayed in the Force Quit Applications window says "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory.  The only applications that I have open are Safari and Finder and I am simply reading a discussion board.

    It would appear that this error can be caused by an excessive system demand for swap space that exceeds the maximum allocation. Just try restarting the computer.
    I found a possible solution for finding the cause of the error. Open Activity Monitor. Be sure you have the Real Memory column showing and the Processes dropdown menu set to All Processes. Select the Real Mem column and sort in descending order. Leave Activity Monitor open. The next time the error appears the application at the top of the column is the one causing the error.

  • My iPod touch has 622mb of memory and I'm trying to download a game that has 311mb of memory, it tells me there is not enough memory to download. What should or can I do?

    It's a 4th gen touch
    I've already powered off and on several times

    To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
    If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.

  • Microsoft Excel won't open because it says there is not enough memory?

    I'm trying to open Microsoft Excel and a prompt appears stating that there is not enough memory even though I have 140gb available of a 250gb hard drive. Any suggestions?

    You're right, i did. But how do I clear out available RAM? When I check the Activity Monitor and then System Memory it says I have 1.3gb available. That SHOULD be enough. Right?

  • I try to download an app and it tells me that there is not enough room when there is plenty

    An app that is 1.9 GB is saying that there is not enough room to download, even though i have around 3 GB free.

    The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
    You need to delete some files and not run with an almost full storage.
    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
