After iOS 5 install on iPhone 4 my "other" category in iTunes is huge.

After iOS 5 install on iPhone 4 my "other" category in iTunes is huge. I can't find any clues as to why. Anyone else have this issue or any clues? I now only have 1gb left whereas before iOS5 I had 9 it's a bit strange. This isn't a complaint btw, just trying to problem solve!
Gracias.

I have noticed the same thing! Any suggestions??? I also notice that when I uncheck the boxes for not including music videos and voice memos the size of the music folder increases, and it does it so much so that I exceed the space on my phone.

Why did my "other" category in itunes balloon to 10.5 gb after upgrade to ios 5?

Why did my "other" category in itunes balloon to 10.5 gb after upgrade to ios 5?

Same happened here on my iphone 4. I heard it's something about bad meta data in the music files but I've no idea. It seems to be fixed by deleting the music from the iphone and then syncing it back on. No need to reset so far luckily!

First try Resetting it: hold down the home and sleep buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
If that does not work Restore your iPhone in iTunes.

"General" in Settings won't open after I installed the iphone 4.0 upgrade.

Have you tried to reset? Hold off button and home button together until Apple apears.

Since downloading ios 6 my iPhone 4 will not play itunes when docked - plays ok when not on dock. Has anyone else had this problem?

Since downloading ios 6 my iPhone 4 will not play itunes when docked - plays ok when not on dock. Has anyone else had this problem?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

Restore iOS after iOS 7 update. iPhone 5, iPad 3, and iPod touch 5th gen. all 2 GB in 'Other'

All my iOS devices have 2+ Gb in the 'Other' section of iTunes on my Mac. I have all the devices upgraded to iOS 7 (iPad 2, Third gen. iPad, 5th gen. iPod touch & iPhone 5). I do have a lot of apps.

The 4G iPod does not have enough memory (RAM) for iOS 7
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

Will i lose my data after re-installing my iphone ?

Last night i updated my iphone and i was unaware that its not a Factory Unlock cellphone. Now my iphone got locked. Will i lose my data if i re-install ios or can i restore my data after re-installing ? Please help as i dont wana lose my data. 2nd i dont have backup of my data too

If there was a backup created prior to doing the update this will be available to you after the update .
If you did not backup the data to itunes, there may have been a back up created in icloud.
Without a created back up from either icloud or itunes your data will be lost.

My ipods are no longer recognized after I installed my Iphone I have 2 ipods that I have music on and still want to use them so how do I get the computer to recognize the ipods again?

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?

IPhone bloated "Other" category

Using an older iPhone 4, current iOS and iTunes (for ML).
Recently when I "sync" the iPhone to iTunes the "other" category in the memory bar bloats to many times the normal size. The best I can tell it seems to duplicate the used memory of all the music, apps, photos, etc on the phone. For example if I have 12gig music, 2gig apps 1.5 gig photos for total of 16.5gig the "other" category will bloat to 16.5gig and create an out of memory situation on the phone, basically "crashes" the sync operation.
I was thinking it was something on the phone itself, and performed a "restore". First using a previous database then again as a new phone. In both situations the bloated "other category" returned.
I'm begriming to think this is an iTunes issue (this is posted on the iTunes forum too).
So my questions are: anyone have a similar situation? is it a phone (iOS) problem or iTunes? And if iTunes what PLIST or "other" files need to be culled?
Thanks for the help

OK, technically it is hacked to unlock it, not jailbroken. That doesn't change the fact that the internal firmware is not standard, and the baseband cannot be replaced during a restore. If you restore a phone as New and do no setup at all Other will be small. If it isn't then there is something seriously wrong; some sort of memory corruption.

I installed the iphone 2.0 and now iTunes will not connect....

after installing the iPhone 2.0 software update I get a message in iTunes saying that "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again". I have been trying for 2 hours now. The is now locked just like when I bought it. I can't do anything except make emergency calls. I called the apple store and the genius bar is closed because of the new 3g. I've called apple care and it says no one is available and to call back. I leave for out of town today and now I have an iPhone that doesn't work. What can I do?

I have had the same issue with the "Unknown Error (-4) message. I need my phone for my business! There is a blog that has been following this error as well:
http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/davak/2008/07/11/dont-upgrade-right-now-iphone-3g- error-an-unknown-error-occurred-9838/#comment-79440
One blogger there has been able to resolve the issue so far.
I'm just going to keep trying to activate until it lets me! They probably have really high volume on their itunes store servers or something.

Removing space in "Others" category in iTunes?

So this afternoon I tried removing all my apps in my iPad and resyncing all of them again, added a new app to be sync and stopped the syncing so I could sync them all. Then about 200mb of Other space appeared in the space of my iPad.
Tried restoring to factory defaults, then syncing all of them again, stopped it while it's syncing with music. The other increased up to .53gb.
Tried restoring to factory defaults and backups but didn't work, there are still leftovers (about .27gb). Haven't fully tried with iExplorer yet.

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, 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.
 Cheers, Tom

"Other" category on iTunes for iPod touch 4g

On iTunes, the "other" category on my ipod touch summary takes up 1.6 gb of my space, and I want to reduce that. Anybody know what the "other" category means, and how I can take off the space on it?

This indicates a corrupt file(s). A restore should resolve.
