Capacity Graph Show 16gig of Others, What is that and How to clean it?

Hello iPod Touch users,
Since firmware up-date v2.1 iTunes show you in the Capacity Graph of your ipodTouch
and beside how much capacity in meg or gig or quantity of files it also show you a orange line name OTHERS...
1. What files are included in it?
2. When or how it's suppose to be clean ? (Automatic = when?)
3. My iPod touch is 32 gig and I have presently over 17 gig in the others (scrap)
and I will like to re-gain that space, does any one know How?
4. I think that every time I remove an application the files are not remove but files get a file rename and end up in the others. I'm a big user of applications, so far I'm very close to 1000 appl. So I install and remove a lot.
Thank
Please help me

iTunes did itself some restore before firmware 2.1. I don't really trust iTunes backup. Like mention before v2.1, I had few crashs were iTunes restore did a fantastic job to restore my baby to fresh nackit ipodtouch of 32gig empty, all my stuff got flush. And by the way I don't carry ALL my 1000 apps with me, because the iPodtouch limit to 128 icons to be display. So what is over the 129th app you won't see it and no access to it.

    This indicates corrupt files.
    A restore should resolve.

  • I have 3.5 gigs of "other" what is it and how do i get rid of it?

    On my itunes when my iphone is pluged in it says that i have now 3.9 gigs of "other" what is it and how do i get rid of it?

    Other is data that does not fit into the rest of the catergories listed on the summary tab.  This includes user data and app settings/data.
    3.5 GB is a lot... and typically indicates corruption.
    You can try a reset of the device and re-syncing, sometime this will clear it up... but typically the resolution is to restore the device from backup first.  If that doesn't resolve a restore as new will.
    Other should be in the range of 300-800mb.

    Could you please try installing Reader again from the below mentioned link:

    Ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt downloading.

    If there is a box around what it's reading that's Voiceover and you can ask Siri to turn it off.
    if you run two fingers down the page and it reads thats speak screen. Go to settings> general> accessibility> speech> speak screen> off.

  • After uploading IOS5 I now have 2.7 GB of Other - what is this and how do I remove it?

    I updated the software for my 8G Ipod Touch 4th Generation on Saturday morning and have had nothing but problems.  At first it would not let me get past the setup portion for Wi Fi which I do not have.  Then after fussing with it for about an hour I was able to start listening to my music.  But I noticed I am unable to load as much music as the past.  I have found that out of my 6.35 GB (instead of 8 that I bought) there is now 2.7GB of Other which takes away over a third of my storage.  Does anyone know what this is and how to remove it? 

    The excessive "other" is due to some files that got corrupted during the update.  You need to restore the iPod to get it reduced to its normal (<0.5 GB) value. Firs try restoring from backup.  If not successful, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    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 5/6, 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

  • When syncing my iPad mini I notice "Other" in the status bar. What is that and how do I get rid of it?

    When syncing my iPad Mini I notice "other" in the status bar.  It is taking over 4gb of space. What is "Other" and how do I get rid of it.

    Lock symbol is rotation lock : depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can lock rotation either by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
