Why do I have 30.1 GB of "Other" that cannot be found or removed?

I just reloaded my iPod and in the process 30.1 GB of "Other" stuff was added that does not appear anywhere I can find on my iPod so I cannot remove it, but it is still taking up space. Where might this have come from? I did not sync any video, contact, or anything else other than music. How can I remove this so more music can be added?

dcedave,
Other can be any number of things from album artwork to corrupt files that are no longer recognizable by either your Classic or your iTunes library. The only way to address this issue to restore the iPod to factory settings via iTunes. So for now I would start there.

HT1711 Why do I have to pay extra for something that I already bought? Shouldn't I be able to have access to my music even if its not through apple? This is ridiculous when I go to the store and buy a CD I'm not relegated to only playing it on one CD play

iTunes Plus is the name for the option in iTunes that allows customers to buy music at the iTunes Store that is free from digital rights management, or DRM.
Digital Rights Management, or DRM, is designed to prevent unauthorized sharing of files. This especially became a big concern for the music industry after the rise of Napster, Limewire, and Kazaa.
DRM, even the DRM used by Apple on iTunes Store content, prevented that. Apple's DRM allowed users to share files on only up to 5 computers.
According to TUAW, the new iTunes Plus songs have information embedded in them that identifies the user who bought and shared them by name.
This means that if you share your music and record companies want to track you down and sue for you copyright infringement, it's going to be easy.
This may help you understand why you would need iTunes Plus - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1711.
It may be that Android required that type of file to be able to let it sync. See here - http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html.

Plug your phone into your computer running iTunes. Click on the phone in the left pane of iTunes. Click the "Check for Updates" button on the right.
If you have a 3G, the highest you can go is 4.2.1.

Why do I have multi language versions in other system....

Hi All,
Could you let me know why do I have multi languages versions when I transported the form to other sandbox system.
Let me breif my probem. On development system I have one form and since we do not want other languages versions to come into picture so I deleted all of the languages versions and kept only original version which is 'DE' in which form was created. When i see the version logs it also shows me only 'DE' version since I deleted rest of other versions.
On development system form works fine since we want language 'DE' to be called for any language and inside the form it takes care for all the languages.
But when I transported it to other sandbox system form is not working fine since when transported it is now available in all the languages and when testing is done for this form in sandbox system it does not work since for example when testing is done using 'HU' language form gets called in 'HU' language and it is available on sandbox system and as a result form does not work since in 'HU' language form is not correct, and also when versions are seen on sandbox it shows the form active or translate in all the languages.
Is there anything that needs to be done while transporting the form...I only want that on sandbox system only version DE should be available..like the way it is in development system.
Thanks,
Mark

I can't select Photos to back up in iCloud from my MacBook Pro. Can anyone tell me why? I have 17 GB of available data that I'm paying for.

My MacBook Pro data is backed up in iCloud (I pay monthly for 20 GB) but apparently my photos are not backed up and it won't allow me to select Photos from the list for back up. Can anyone tell me why?

The current iCloud isn't meant for backing up Macs. It's only for mobile devices.
The beta iCloud Photo Library in iOS 8 will store photos in the iCloud for access from other mobile devices for from iCloud.com. The new Photos app under development for OS X on Macs will not be released until sometime this spring. It will have the capability of storing and accessing photos from iCloud.
iCloud Drive is for sharing documents between multiple devices signed in to the same iCloud ID. When the new Photos application is released the space purchased for iCloud will be available for the photo storage system.

Why do I have software in my applications folder that I did not install?

I have:
Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive and iWorks '08?
How did they get there, anyone?

Hi
Office Test Drive is actually a 60 day trial period. The time starts after the first time you launch it. When you quit or re-launch thereafter you will be given a prompt to buy with a countdown of how many days there are left.
Why on earth would i want to buy a boxed copy off the shelf,
which I nearly did, if it is all already on my computer?
If its something you like after trialing it you would still have to buy it at the full price. You get a serial number sent to you that activates the program. Of course if you decide you don't want it after the 60 days is up your other option is to buy off the shelf. With Microsoft pushing Office 2008 you may end up having to do this anyway as perhaps Microsoft are not interested in supporting Office 2004 anymore?

Why do I have to pay for a charge that I should not of been charged then wait for the credit in two to three billing cycles? If I don't pay it I get charged $5 a month late charge?

So I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with Verizon about charges on my wireless bill. The conclusion of it was: Pay the charge and we will credit the charge or it will show as a balance due with a $5.00 late fee every month. I got two phones on a promotion in November. Part of the promotion was no activation fee. Got my first bill and a $70.00 activation fee was on it. On line chatted with Verizon and they said it would be credited in two to three billing cycles. I paid my bill minus the activation fee. This month I have a $5.00 late fee and a $35.00 restocking fee because they messed up and sent three phones and I returned one. It was not activated. They might credit me that money back. What is going on?????

I am so very sorry for any aggravation you've experienced getting your billing straightened out, Nunu1957. It's true that it can take 1 to 2 billing cycles for some account balance adjustments to appear on a statement. While I know you'd rather not have paid your activation fees, the terms of your agreement do require you to do so in order to avoid late fees or even involuntary service interruptions.
I am concerns about the restock fee. If the device was sent to you in error, you should not have been billed a restock fee. You stated that there may be a refund for the fee. Has that been confirmed?

HT202879 Other Word Processors than Pages? & why do we have to pay for an upgrade that is incomplete?

I am very unhappy.
In order to access my documents from iCloud I have to upgrade to Mavericks (free, alright) and the new Pages, for which I have to pay.
The new Pages (and Numbers etc) does not have the same functionality as the one I have been using - yet I have to pay for it. Alright, Apple promises to upgrade in the next six months and add the new functionality. This is not good enough.
This was a very unpleasant surprise today - when I went to my document that I have been working on on my iPhone and my Mac at various times during the day and the Mac one had changed to 'Untitled 47' and the version on my iPhone would not open on my Mac unless I upgraded to the new Pages - $19.99 - and to OSX Mavericks - free - but I don't want to upgrade yet. And I don't want to pay for a new version of Pages that clearly does not have the same functionality(according to the user comments and the apple page that this discussion is about).
I have praised Apple to high heaven for the functionality of iCloud. But this really really annoys me.
If there's anything I hate its a company I am relying on forcing me to upgrade before they've sorted out the bugs.
I am definitely considering changing to a different company's word processor - if only they had a word processor that I could use on my Mac and iOS devices.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks Tom! Following your advice I posted a (shorter) version at feedback.
And thanks for those hints. Yes I've been looking at those ones.
IA Writer and Byword both can use the iCloud.
Writeroom only syncs using Dropbox.
Of course they're very minimal apps compared to Pages, or Word.
I feel very depressed.
Perhaps I will have to use one of these and then import into Word for final editing.
Believe it or not, for a minute I thought MS Word might be a contender for iOS syncing - because there is this thing called Office 365. But look at the reviews.

I really don't want to deal with all the problems of updating to Mavericks just now.

Is there a reason why some applications have "updates" greyed out and others don't ?

deploying using Creative cloud packager with Adobe Application Manager disabled
Some applications have the update option under "help" greyed out while others are not.
the ones that are not will try to open AAM and fail out when selected but i find it kind of weird that they cant make it the same across the board
Thanks for any info
Jeff

Why do I have extra songs in my iPhone playlist that are not on my iTunes library?

After doing the iOS7 update (and iOS7.0.2) I decided to add my music to my phone (I never had music on it before).
I discovered that there were 20 very random and obscure broadway songs that were on my iPhone in addition to the 60 songs I just synced. They had the iCloud icon by them, unlike the songs I had just added.
After doing research I found that the broadway songs were technically "purchased" on iTunes although they are not songs I would have ever purchased- in fact I have never once purchased anything on iTunes. This isn't my worry though, I am assuming it must have been some random free download I did at some point?
I went to settings > music > and turned show all music off. This did NOT work for all of them and only solved the problem 80%. There are still 4 of the random song on my iPhone. They DO NOT show up in my iTunes library on my computer and don't even exist on my computer.
With the other songs I can left swip and delete but these 4 songs won't! Why won't these four songs left swipe?
I am going crazy and have tried restarting my phone, restarting iTunes, re-syncing, turning off the iCloud. NOTHING WORKS.
Please help. I am a normally a very smart and tech-savvy person and I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I don't want to wipe everything- which as a solution is a pretty weak solution.
Why won't certain songs left swipe to delete off my phone when I am in the music app?
Why do I have extra songs on my phone that don't appear on iTunes on my computer?
Where did these songs come from and how do I get rid of them?
Much thanks!

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

Why do I have to buy Transformers II ?

... and other movies
I've never liked that online video rentals are 24 hours when the old brick-n-mortar gave me a week or two. I would rent more if I was given even a few days — like through the weekend, 'ya know?
The price of renting online bugs too. Why should it be more than it was at a brick-n-mortar?
But OK. I adapted. Grouchy but adapted.
Now here's all the videos I want to rent that can only be purchased. ... Why can't I filter on that? Why do I have to wait until I (using that lovely keyboard that comes with AppleTV, ugh) left, left, down. left, ok, up, up, right, right, right. ... etc. ... then finally get to the video description to find it's not even for rent!? Why? I thought things were supposed to be simple.
And finally. Why do I have to purchase the videos anyway? What happened to renting?
(I'm now watching an old free movie on another streaming service instead of making a purchase or rent from Apple. Happens more and more frequently. Sorry folks.)

Thanks vazandrew,
Beyond their control? It's an agreement. It's a choice. Least they could do is let us filter searches so we don't get led into impulse-buy situations. But maybe our impulses are more to their advantange than our satisfaction. (cough cough) Nearly every movie my kids want to watch ends up in this same bucket. Transformers II actually is much less $$ than most. But I don't want to own it.
Thanks for the pointer to the remote app though! :-)
I've always liked the AppleTV screensaver showing all my photos. There was a time I'd pay $100 for a photo-frame, so it's still a good thing. ... Just never expected a screensaver to be a killer app.
More seriously, I really think Apple, and the studios, would make more money from me if they let me rent digitally at a reasonable rate and for a few days at a stretch. Apple movies were getting more $$ from me before the purchase-only ones started showing up. I don't plan to adapt to purchasing like I did to 24 hour rentals.
Of course. I'm not just complaining about Apple here. In fact, I've been a fan of Apple for decades.

Why do I have to render every video clip?

Every clip I put in FCE has to be rendered, why? Is there a setting I have to change? I have a canon hv-20 and I'm using the 1080i setting in the easy setup menu. Thanks for any help!

If they are identical then I can't help you. There is no reason why you would have to render. Which is that you have to render, video or audio or both? The render line is divided is divided into two thin stripes, upper for video, lower for audio.

Why do I have 30.1 GB of "Other" that cannot be found or removed?
