16gb iphone only has 13.09 gb capacity on itunes?

Hi Everyone, I'm wondering if anyone could help me?
I recently bought a white 16gb iphone 4s, and along with the other problems with battery, and siri being utterly useless within the UK for buisness searches I've recently just discovered that my Iphone has decided that its now a 13gb iPhone.... Now im not great with technology and it may be a very simple solution - I've currently got it in my head that the missing 2.41gb?! is taken up with software?!
When i plug the iphone into iTunes i look at capacity and it says that its 13.59gb
is there a simple soltuion, is it possible that my messages or something else may be taking up this room on my iPhone??
Any helpful response would be greatly aprecicated
thanks
Chloe

I have (re)joind ASC for a real purpose. I'm sorry for losing my previous account (thanks apple for the iCloud/MobileMe accounts fun) so one can see I did helped ansering some of the questions, but... today I have got upset about this storage advertising from vendors, and searching on the web I came to this topic, so I was willing to let other people know they are not alone with this issue.
I shouldn't be marked as a troll when I am complaining about real things, and sorry for offending anyone here. I am complaining about this to all storage vendors, but considering I have most of my products from Apple.. well, it just happen to be Apple's forum when I am complaining this time.
I know things are not going to be "fixed" anytime soon, but if nobody complains about this issue, then this issue will never be fixed. Complaining opens a small chance to change sometimes...
Cheers!

    The phone may be stuck in headset mode. Rapidly plug and unplug a headset 10x to free up the switch inside the jack.

    Text messages, MMS messages, email, music catalog, operating system settings, safari cache, siri cache, Genius data (if enabled), game center data -- esentially everything on your phone that isn't explicitely listed in the bar chart at the bottom of iTunes on your computer.
    Sometimes there is also data corruption on the phone that ends up in Other. To get rid if it try restoring the phone with iTunes. If that makes no difference the corruption is in your backup; restore again as a new phone, then add content back.

  • My iphone 4 has no more storage capacity, i have deleted apps but its not freeing up any memory, can anyone advise?

    Well if you have 3 gigs of music that is taking up half right there. Pictures and videos also take up a lot of space as well. Another thing is texts are saved on the phone. Try deleting them but texts don't nomally take up a lot of space.

  • I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

    Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
    I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
    I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
    I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
    Please can anybody help.

    There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

    I solved my own problem. Hopefully this will help someone else.
    I did a DFU restore, then started it up as a new phone on iTunes. Everything loaded properly, then from iTunes did a restore from backup, selected the one I wanted and it still took me to the same screen with 3 options of restore. I chose the start up as new phone from the actual phone and after all the syncing was completed, my phone is back in working order.

  • Why is the 'real' capacity of a 16GB iPhone only 13.60?

    4S.. just wondering 'cause I miss that space.

    Well, if you would rather have no operating system, then you could get your space back. But that would make the phone rather useless, wouldn't it.

  • 6th generation 16 GB nano only has 14.89 GB capacity?

    I just bought a 6th generation 16 GB iPod nano and when connected to iTunes it only shows a capacity of 14.89 GB. I would understand a bit of space needed by the operating system itself, but this seems a little much. Is this the correct capacity of the 16 GB nano?

    yes, let me explain why...
    we think in base 10 (1000 bytes in a KB, 1000 KB in a MB, 1000 MB in a GB, etc) while computers think in base 2 (1024 bytes in a KB, 1024 KB in a MB, etc)
    now if the device has 16GB, we think of the bytes like this:
    16 GB = 16,000 MB
    16,000 MB = 16,000,000 KB
    16,000,000 KB = 16,000,000,000 bytes
    now how the computer sees those same 16,000,000,000 bytes:
    16,000,000,000 bytes = 15,625,000 KB
    15,625,000 KB = 15,258.79 MB
    15,258.79 MB = 14.9 GB
    now if the OS takes up 10 MB (.01 GB) then you are right on with what you should have...

  • Replacement iPhone only has EJECT option. I cannot restore.

    I have a Verizon iPhone4 running 4.2.10 that has a microphone problem. I have received a replacement phone, and am attempting to backup/restore to the new phone.
    Following the Verizon instructions and backed up my original phone. Plug in the new phone, which shows up at "iPhone" in iTunes. My only option when I mouse over "iPhone" is "Eject".
    Regarding the new iPhone, I have gone through the setup questions, added in my wireless network, and am getting an activation error. (server unavailable).
    I have updated iTunes, but have NOT updated my old phone to os5 - I don't know if this is creating an issue.
    I am confused on what to do next. Any help appreciated. Unfortunantly, I have lost my voice due to sickness, so calling a help line is not the best option for me right now.

    Hi I had the same problem ,
    I solved it by disabling the sim pin ...
    settings -> phone -> simpincode  ... switch it off
    Good luck !

  • Iphone only has audio thru speaker phone

    im experiening my iphone 4 to only produce audio thru the speaker while on the phone. i can't hear or speak thru regular ear speaker. any suggestions ? i've been thru the utilities but can figure this out.

    Hi,
    Were you able to resolve this problem? I'm having the same issue and I'm clueless. Tried resetting the phone as well but no luck.

  • ITunes is telling me I don't have enough space to do a backup, even though I have 26 gb free. My iPhone only has 6 gb of stuff on it.

    I tried pointing the backups to a 1tb empty external drive, and it still told me I didn't have enough space. All this to try and fix the problem that I can't connect to the cellular data network with my iPhone 5. So far, I have had an extremely negative experience with this phone.

    know that is BS because it clearly says 3 GB
    Didn't know an iPhone is capable of "BS"! Impressive.  Do the basic troubleshooting steps described in the User Guide:  Restart, Reset, Restore.

  • My ipad2, 16gb wifi only has lost its wifi settings

    Has anyone else had this problem? When I go to the settings and turn wifi on, usually options for which networks to connect to appear on the right hand side. This feature is no longer appearing so i am not able to connect to any networks as there is no list, or anything, to choose from. It worked fine yesterday but this morning the feature seems to have disappeared.
    Can anyone help?

    Try resetting the SMC and PRAM:

  • IPhone only shows up as a device in iTunes. Not in iPhoto, Image Capture, or anything else.

    Right now, only iTunes sees my iPhone connnected to it. iPhoto doesn't see it, and neither does Image Capture or Xcode. I can sync with iTunes just fine, but I can't get transfer photos from my phone to my MacMini.
    I have an iPhone 4 (not 4S) that I recently upgraded to IOS 5. My MacMini is running Lion (10.7.2) & was just purchased last month.

    Just checked it. The settings in iPhoto are for "Connecting camera opens: iPhoto"
    When I connect the phone, iPhoto will launch, but the iPhone will not show up under devices.
