Almost 28 gig of 'other' added to my ipod after upgrading to ios 5

Immediately after upgrading to ios 5, my 32 gig iPod touch was clogged with 27.9g of 'other' data that wasn't there before the update, leaving no room for anything else. Any idea what this data could be or how to get rid of it? If nothing else I'll try reseting it and installing software again.

Thank you wjosten. It did work!!
Best, ___ Paolo

Problems with conference calls(adding and merging calls) after upgrade to ios 8.1.2 on iphone 5s

I am having weird problem intermittently with adding calls or merging them or swapping them. The issue happens 8 out of 10 times whenever I try to do a conference call. This issue came up after I upgraded to 8,1.2. Never experienced this in 8.1.1 or previous version.
Some of the scenarios that I have experienced is:
1. While on the call, when I try to add a new contact, it just doesn't dial the second number.
2. Sometimes the second number gets dialed, cannot merge the calls.
3. After talking to the second person, cannot go back to the first call.
I am very sure that this is not a carrier issue as it worked flawlessly before upgrade.
Anyone experienced this before? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the above infromation. I did a complete restore of my iphone through iTunes connecting it to my computer via cable. iOS8.1.3 was re-installed. I then added back my settings and data which were backed up prior to restoring the phone. I still have the same issue with conferencing and adding a third caller. When I hit the [+] box, the existing caller is not put on hold. The phone appears to be making a call but it is not dialing to the 3rd party. Shortly thereafter, the Merge icon appears but there is no active call to merge with. I have tried this several times using my wife's iPhone and our home phone to set up a 3-way call. I know it is not working because the 3rd phone (our home phone) does not ring. Is this a hardware problem? My wife's iPhone 6 works with no problem and was purchased the same time I purchased my iPhone 6. Probably time for a visit to the Apple Store unless there is another solution.

Adding Custom Labels Missing for Contact Numbers After Upgrading to iOS 8.0 and issue still exists on iOS 8.1

I noticed that after upgrading to iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5s, adding custom labels for contact numbers got removed. It still exists on iOS 8.1 as well. Is there someone who is facing a similar issue or can someone help me how to get that back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Yugendra,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I have good news. You can still choose a custom label in Contacts on iOS 8. The option should be below "Other" in the list of labels when editing a contact. This information is found in the iOS 8 user guide:
Contacts at a glance - iPhone
Change a label. If a field has the wrong label, such as Home instead of Work, tap Edit. Then tap the label and choose one from the list, or tap Add Custom Label to create one of your own.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

The App store is a problem for many and I have not seen a solution.
What is "wrong" with your Apple ID?
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

After upgrading to IOS 8, several functions doesen´t work on my iPhone 5. Like mail, safari, maps, messages and a lot of other things

After upgrading to IOS 8 several things on my iPhone 5 stop working, like safari, maps, mail, messages. When you go in on these apps they only shut down. How can i fix this?

Update: my phone's connecting to the WiFi again. I don't know what did the trick. I did nothing since reinstalling the software. It hadn't worked then, it is now. I tried connecting to my dad's phone's hotspot( he uses a Moto G), and it worked. I then tried connecting to the WiFi at a friend's house, and when I came back home, my phone was able to connect to my WiFi! Is it of any significance that my friend's router doesn't require a password? My issue has been resolved( for now; I hope I'm not counting my chickens before they've hatched). For anyone facing a similar issue, I suggest you try everything I did:
1. Turn your router off for a minimum of 30 seconds, turn it back on and try connecting.
2. Click on the WiFi network you are connected to, scroll to the bottom, tap "Renew Lease".
3. Do a soft and hard reset.
4. Reset network settings.
5. Back your data up, erase all content from settings menu, restore from backup.
6. Reinstall your software( put it in recovery mode).
I am not sure which of the above worked for me. Make sure you try everything. If none of the above works, take it to a genius bar or an authorised service provider. Good luck! :)

After upgrade to iOS 5 there is a large chunk of data ( 9Gb) on the phone labeled as "Other" in iTunes.

After upgrade to iOS 5 there is a large chunk of data (>9Gb) on the phone labeled as "Other" in iTunes. I suspect this is the music library from before the upgrade. How do I delete this data?

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!

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

What is the "other" data on my ipod after i updated my os

what is the "other" data on my ipod after i updated my os? and can i remove it? and how do i pair up devices via bluetooth?

Hi
First, the "Others" what you see in iTunes when you're iDevice was plugged in, is where the iOS installed. It's the system core of your iDevice.
2nd - That ia hevn't used before, bluetooth pairing. The last time I tested it, I failed.
and now you're not the only one who needs help in bluetooth pairing, LOL...

After upgrading to IOS 5, the "other" memory on my phone has taken up 3.7 gb.... is that normal?

My wife has the same phone, but it didnt take up just as much memory after upgrading, any ideas?

See Here > maclife.com/how_remove_other_data_your_iphone
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...

After upgrading to iOs 8.1, my "other" storage increased significantly. what to do?

On a 5s with 64G, my storage went from under 3Gs to 21Gs after upgrade to iO 8.1. What to do about it?

FIRST, back up the phone to iTunes, then sync it. A sync will frequently reduce the size of Other. If that fails, connect the phone to your computer, click on its name in iTunes, and click Restore iPhone. First time, restore your backup. If Other does not get smaller then you will have to restore again and set it up as New, then manually add back your apps and music. You will lose any app data, however. It may help to understand what Other actually is. See: What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?

Whats the best way to reduce "other"? i almost have 6G of other in my ipad 2 after i made a backup

like i said, it was after i made a back up so i would like to use a different method, if its possible.

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.

Other using all available space after update to iOS 8.3

Before updating I had at least 10GB of free space, but ever since I updated to iOS 8.3, I am repeatedly receiving the Storage Almost Full error. The last couple days I have deleted 2 or 3 GB of data and apps to free up space, but the error returns the next day and I have no space available even though I haven't added anything that would take up that much space. Looking at apps under Manage Storage, there is nothing taking up the space that was previously unused. When I plugged my phone into iTunes, is says that Other now takes up more than half the available storage on my phone, and I have the 64GB model.
Other had previously taken up quite a bit of space, and I know that this is mostly documents and data from my applications and messages, but there's no way it should have jumped so dramatically in size. It seems to be just growing to take up whatever available space there is on my phone.

When you do "add new keyboard", do you really not see one called Emoji anywhere on the list?
If not, try resetting your device
