13 GB of Other on brand new 5S

I upgraded my wife from a 4 to a 5S yesterday.  It took a couple tries at removing enough music to allow the old phone to be restored on the new phone with the new Apple apps that come preinstalled.
When I got enough removed I have 13 gb's of Other that will not go away.  How do I make it go away?  I only have a 1 gb of songs, 3 gb's of photos and 3 gig's of apps and the dang phone is almost full!
I did do a backup and restore again today, but it made no difference.
Thanks.

There will always be some Other - What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
However, the amount that you had is a symptom of data corruption. The most common cause is an interrupted sync.

    Only the original cellular provider can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact them to determine if they offer unlocking and if the phone qualifies.

  • I have a brand new ipod touch and when setting it will not connect to my home wifi, even though it is working with all other devices

    I have a brand new, just out of the box, ipod touch that will not connec to my home wifi. The connection works with all other devices.

    What happens when you try to connect?
    Error messages?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Have you tried other networks?

  • I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

    I have a macmini on order, I wonder if I can pair the wireless apple keyboard and magic touchpad without using any other input devices, especially, since everything is brand new and not yet paired.

    You may just want to save yourself any possible issues
    by just hooking up a wired keyboard and mouse on first
    start up.  Any USB keyboard and mouse should work.
    There have been many that have had problems on first boot
    using the Bluetooth devices. 

  • Why do I have other people I cloud on a brand new iPad bought direct from Apple

    hi
    i bought my husband a new ipad direct from Apple and when we go to set it up it has 2 other peoples iCloud details on it. We don't know who they are and considering its brand new it doesn't make any sense. Has anyone else had this issue? if so how did you resolve it please. I have tried to get in contact with my supposed contact person at Apple but he has not replied. When I ordered them he told me to contact him for support
    thank you

    as I said something is NOT right
    your iPad is NOT new if it already has an Apple  id attached to it
    try putting the serial # into this genuine Apple Tool

    and see what it tells you

  • Erratic mouse on brand new Air - tried other advise still not working

I have a wonderful new Air which is unusualable !! .. really not used to this with Macs, thats why I stopped using Windoze!!

    Thanks

    Your MBP is under warranty, bring the MBA to be fixed at an Apple store genius bar.  Also if you purchased it from Apple and are within 14 days from the purchase date you can have it exchanged.
    Ciao.

  • Other taking up space with a brand new iPhone

    other taking up space with a brand new iPhone, never used or plugged in. 1st time conecting and it says 564.8mb other. WTH??

    I'm sorry, I don't understand your comment. Any computer program has at least 2 divisions. A Code division and a Data division. When we talk about the size of a program or operating system we mean the size of the Code division. The Data division will be of variable size, and can change dynamically. So the size of iOS when you download it is the size of the code. Other includes the data division of iOS, plus the data divisions of all apps that come bundled with iOS, plus the Safari cache, plus all email messages, plus all texts, plus all contacts, plus all calender events, plus all notes, plus all reminders, plus the music catalog, plus album art, plus data used by the iTunes & App stores, plus data used by the Genius feature, pus data used by Game Center, plus data used by Apple Maps (but not Google maps if you have it), plus a few things I've probably forgotten about.
    Immediately after a new phone is activated, or after it is restored as new, Other still contains the data divisions of iOS. And if you have logged in to the iTunes and App stores during setup it contains the information from your account for those apps. And if you have logged in to iCloud it contains all of your iCloud contacts, calendar events, notes, reminders and email.
    I've explained this several different ways. I'm not going to try again.

  • Brand new Macbook pro using 169gb in "other" files

    I had about 75 gb on my old computer (Macbook Pro 2006). I backed up onto an also brand new external hard drive. After making a new user account then deleting it and using migration assistant, 169gb is showing other files. I used it a few times but deleted the account with the files so maybe there's a copy lurking somewhere? I googled my heart out. I tried OmniDiskSweeper and Space Gremlin but I can't seem to find the problem. I tried to erase deleted space on the hard drive but I'm not sure that was the right thing. Any help would be appreciated!

    From what I've heard and read the iWork apps aren't normally installed. But that might of been with systems bought right after the notice of those apps being available for free with a Purchase of a New Mac.
    Apple's manufacturers product many units each day. Some sit for weeks or more waiting to be shipped out and or in the Apple warehouse waiting to be bought. I wouldn't worry about it and it seems the 3 cycle count is fairly normal with the Retina models.

  • I opened my brand new MacBook Pro the other day and noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is it from and how do I get rid of it????

    I am having a problem with my brand new MacBook Pro. After opening my laptop the other day I noticed a straight green line from top to bottom near the center of the screen. What is this from and how do I get rid of it? It is most annoying. Please Help!

    "What is this from and how do I get rid of it?"
    Such symptoms bode serious hardware issues and you shouldn't think about fixing it yourself when you are still in waranty. Get to an Apple Store, like the other poster suggests.

    Reset the SMC and PRAM
    SMC Reset:
    Shut down the MacBook Pro.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

    Release the keys.

  • Why does Firefox, like others, feel it's so important that their updated browser have a "brand new look"? I don't want a "brand new look." I'm happy with the look as it is. So I will NEVER go to Firefox4.

    Firefox is highly customizable and you can customize Firefox 4 to look like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6

  • Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet.

    Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet. What does the "other" category consist of and how can I fix this?

    The iPad was sealed in the box when I got it. It had the plastic screen protector wrapped all around it and when I powered it on for the first time it displayed the "connect to iTunes for setup" message displayed. The only other thing I can think of is if the person I bought it from had ordered it through Verizon on and the iPad was set up on a number on his pre-existing verizon account. My question is should I just keep using it and consider myself lucky? Since there is no way for Verizon to charge me for the usage because I never signed a contract. I realize that if it is on the account belonging to the person I bought it from, they will eventually figure this out and shut it off. But I might as well use it in the meantime right?

  • Hi, in my brand new Ipad 2, when i look into the ipod icon (for music, videos, and so on), in "others", there are no voices like "podcast", " itunesU", "books to listen".. how can i do?

    hi there
    when I open the icon "Ipod" or music, the orange one with a note basically, on my brand new Ipad2, if I check in the voice "others", I cannot find podcast, ItunesU,books to listen (audiolibri in italian) and collections; I can see only genres and composers.
    How can I fix this?
    thanks

    thanks for answering me.
    i downloaded podcasts from the ipad but I cannot see them any more. I connected my ipad to my mac, synced it and in fact in my itunes (of the mac) i can see what I had downloaded in the ipad...it is quite strange. is there the possibility that podcasts downloaded require some specific software to be seen in the ipad? my ipad has got the latest sw anyway (5.0.1)
    thanks

  • Have personal Apple ID account which allows me to download apple apps but when I go to update the apps Apple ID pops up thats not mine and cannot log in to update apps.  Brand new IPAD never any other user

    Have personal Apple ID account which allows me to download apple apps but when I go to update the apps Apple ID pops up thats not mine and cannot log in to update apps.  Brand new IPAD never any other user

    Is the AppleID listed in Settings --> Store and Settings --> iCloud the same?
    If it is a totally different ID and not a slight variation of yours, I would definitely take it back to the store. You may have bought a returned item that had been setup previously.

  • Brand new iPad mini 32GB LTE (Verizon) purchased on 1/7/13 is constantly crashing while on Safari and other apps.

    Brand new iPad mini 32GB LTE (Verizon) purchased on 1/7/13 is constantly crashing while on Safari and other apps. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do besides restoring it and rebooting it as I have already done so. Should i exchange it at the apple store for a new one? Any suggestions? Im still under the 14 day return policy.

    Returning it is a way to go, obviously. Unless that's quick and convenient enough for you, you may try resetting it to factory settings first under Settings -> General -> Reset.
    A new setup and sync (not restoring, to avoid the cause of the problem coming over again) might fix it once and forever.
