How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
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 5/6/7, 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.

Can't sync iPad after iOS upgrade to7.0.2 - repeated authorisation prompt - using admin profile, file SC info does not exist

Hello,
After I upgraded to iOS 7.0.2 I can't sync iPad mini with PC (on Windows XP). I keep getting the folowing message: "The iPad could not be synced because this computer is no longer authorized for purchase items on this iPad". I tried everything:
1) De-authorizing and rebooting (about 100 times);
2) De-installing and reinstalling itunes;
3) Deactivating the firewall;
4) Run Diagnostics (result - all works fine including sync);
5) Tried to look for the "SC info" directory or file everyone is referring to in the Computer (Hidden files) of the iTunes directory - nothing;
6) Ticking and unticking the |Sync over Wi-Fi" option;
7) Changing backup from iCloud to this Computer and back.
I am using the admin account on my PC - doesn't help.
I cannot sync anything at all.
BTW - on the PC and on the iPad - everything that is there plays OK. I can get stuff from iStore both from iPad and from the PC - but I can't sync the two.
It looks like an iOS 7 bug to me - any ideas or advice?
Thanks.
D.

No I have tried multiple connections, at home, at work, and even at my church but to no avail. For example I have recently purchased a CD from Itunes using my computer, but my ipad will only play it from the cloud. I've tried to download straight from my Ipad and that too does not work. When ever I try to plug the Ipad into the computer a window pops up and says that the sync has failed. If I try to drag the file to the Ipad it will say it's loading than just quit before it transfers. hmmm. I hope they get this bug fixed some. would really like to have that CD to isten to on the go. Another issue I am no having is the apps are having trouble updating. I have tried to turn off auto update and do it manually and that too is failing.

HT4623 can' t sync ipad to pc/ error message says ipad needs to be updated to itunes 11.1/ its new / i just downloaded iso7

i can't sync ipad to pc/ error message says i need to update to itunes 11.1....i have tried can't seem to/ ipad is 3 months old has iso 7.2 its as updated as know how to update

Do as it says. In order for iOS 7 to PC sync to work right, you need to have iTunes v11.1.1 on the PC.
So download it ON THE PC and update:

Connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes. Look under 'info' and you may need to scroll down. The option will be there to sync your outlook calendar (or more) with the iPad. Choose what you want and sync to 'save' the settings.

ITunes doesn't sync iPad, because apps can not be determined - how do I fix this?

For the past day I when I try to sync my iPad, I get the message:
iTunes cannot sync apps to the iPad, because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.
How do I fix this?

Have you moved, renamed or deleted the original files?
Has another programme on your computer moved, renamed or deleted the files?
Have you just created this iTunes Library?
Have you recently added the missing music music from an external hard drive?
If it's none of the above, what have you been doing recently? For example, have you been "sorting" your files in your file manager?

Can I sync ipad to iphone so my games are up to date with iphone?

can I sync my ipad2 to have the games reflect where I am on the Iphone games

The iPad is a computer and a very good one at that. You can mix and match syncing from both an iPhone and an iPad, but you will need another computer or Mobile me to achieve it.
iPhone apps will synch to iPad but not necessarily the other way around. Many apps that came over via the iPhone are sized incorrectly because of the screen size. Some have a 2x zoom, but the resolution is poor.

Can't sync iPad to windows xp on hp, HELP!!!

This may be long and I apologize. I am new to all iPod, iPad products. Ihave an hp with windowsxp for home use. I downloaded iTunes to my pc, then connected the iPad to my computer. Nothing happened. When I go into iTunes I can find sync iPod, but it is not in active mode,so I can not do anything. I have deleted Itunes and re-downloaded it and still have nothing happening. I can use iTunes on my pc and on my iPad,but just can't sync them. I want to transfer my music from my pc. HELP!!!

What's not showing up? The iPad or the File>Transfer Purchases part? If you can't see the iPad and you are running iTunes 11 you can go to View>Show Sidebar in the iTunes menu in order to see the sidebar and your iPad should appear under the devices heading there.
You can right click on the iPad name and select Transfer Purchases from there as well. Or in iTunes 11 you can go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases from the menu at the top of the screen.
This might be helpful as well.

My iPhone 4s will not back-up because it is over capacity due to a lg. amt. of "other" data. I don't have a lot of other data however. How can I correct this?

My iPhone 4S will not do a back-up because it is over it's capacity due to an excessive amount of "other" data. However I actually have very little other data. How can I correct this. As it is now I can't even take a picture! Thanks!

Create a manual backup in iTunes, then restore it, restoring to your iTunes backup at the end. This will usually correct this. If it doesn't, then the problem is contained in the backup and you'll have to save as much of your data as you can, then restore it as new without using your backupo.

Everything is Sorted!
The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.
