Apple TV says 27 Gigs full of "Other" what is this?

Hi,
My apple TV says it has 27 Gigs (of 32) of "other" on it but I can not find out what this "other" stuff is.
I do not have any photos, music, movies or anything on my apple TV. I have also gone to all the tabs and un-synched EVERYTHING (nothing shows up on my apple TV when I turn it on). Does anyone know what the other stuff could be? Because right now I can't buy any movies, rent anything etc. from my apple TV because there is no space. I have to download it onto my computer and synch it which is a pain.
Thanks!
Dave

most likely corrupted data.
factory restore to clear.

You need to stop and restart the Apple Mobile Device service on your computer. This is explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 (open "Restart Apple Mobile Device Serivice")

You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Once you are safely connected go to the iPod Summary tab and make sure "manually manage music and videos" is checked:
iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts

Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings.

It would depend on what you are trying to do. I suggest you try and solve one issue at a time. You have posted more than one question, and attempt to correct one issue can cause issues for the next. What were you doing when you saw this message.

This means that the backups were made with a later version than the version currently on the phone. You will have to update the phone to 6.1.3 to be able to restore the backup. You can restore a backup made with an earlier version, but not with a later version.

Thanks for the flag J.K. - they contaced me and solved my problem. On this account (which I created just to ask this question), I log in with my email rather than my user name (mtalldud). On the account that I was having trouble with, they told me to use my user ID instead of my email to log in and it worked. This is a bit confusing and seems a bit inconsistent but at least I don't need this temporary account any more to get into this community and find answers!

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

You need to take it up with the developer first. If they don't fix things, you need to open the issue with iTunes support.
Going by the threads here, not a day goes by that someone doesn't have an issue with in app purchases in Clash of Clans.

Apple TV says its full, but hardly anything is on there....

ARG! I lost everthing on my apple tv! Turned it on, nothing there. So, I started to download some new shows.
Now it says its full when I hardly have anything on there. I'm not interested in getting my old stuff back. Just want
to download new stuff. I do not sync with my imac, just download directly to the apple tv. I'm wondering if there is stuff
hiding on there somewhere to make it feel like its full. Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks!!!

You might start by restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds.
If this doesn't help you need to sync with your mac. I'm not sure whether you mean you have never synced with your mac or you just don't do anymore. You may have lost everything I don't know at this stage only connecting to your mac will tell you. You may see a huge amount of other, you may be able to transfer some or all of your content to iTunes.
If you really don't care about anything that might or might not be on there and a restart doesn't help, all you need to do is carry out a factory restore from the settings menu (assuming the problem is recoverable)
