Capacity indicator: what's "Other" (in yellow mark)

In addition to the video or musical files, the indicator shows 'OTHER" in yellow
metering mark, but I don't know what it contained into "OTHER"\.
In my case this sector it's way bigger then my pics and music files:
Could anyone give me an idea as per the possible nature of the content in this
indicator?
Thanks
Tammy

Could be data, contacts, favorites, calendar,etc
It is normal for it to be 400 - 800 MB.
If yours is much larger, then it indicates a corrupt file and a restore should resolve.

  • What does the "Other" signify on the "Capacity" indicator in the 'Summary'?

    I was wondering if someone knew what the "Other" section in the Capacity Indicator at the bottom signifies? What files are included in it and how can it be accessed? It has eaten up almost 100 MB of my iPod disk, but I have no idea what the content is. Any idea ppl?

    Other can be Album Artwork, Notes, Contacts, Firmware etc.
    On my iPod the artwork is 60.5 MB. This can be more or less for you depending on how many songs you have with artwork. The control software takes up another 29.2 MB.

  • What exactly is the yellow representative of on the 'capacity' bar when i sync/update my iphone on my laptop with my itunes.

    I ask because my iphone is full and yet I have such a small amount of playlists in my music and so very few photos compared to my friends, and even when I delete photos it still tells me I'm over capacity and the yellow section of the bar which is decribed as 'other' is taking up half of my memory and I dont know where to go to find out what the 'other' stuff is!!

    look to the right at more like this ----->  look for the thread with the green check mark.

  • What is "other" in the capacity bar and how do i manage it?

    What is "other" in the capacity bar and how do I manage it?

    The "other" is mainly corrupt files and files that did not get deleted by apps one the app was done with the file. Normally the other s less than 0.25 GB.  To reduce the size of other, usually a restore to factory defaults/new iPodis required.  Sometimes restoring from backup helps a little.

  • What is "Other" in capacity bar?

    I am seeing that the "Other" items in the capacity bar of my iPhone (in iTunes) is taking up a bit of space. How do I know what the "Other" capacity consists of? I would like to free

    “Other” will take up at least 200MB's, it’s system files: the iPhone iOS, database files, contacts information, settings, SMS data, core data, pre-installed apps, etc. Normal range is 200MB's ~ 500MB's or so.

  • What it "other " in the capacity bar?

    when my iphone is plugged in to itunes i check to see how much capacity i have left. i have 2.3 gig of "other". what is other. ive deleted everything off of my ihone and its still there. whats next?

    Do a sync just before you restore. This will sync contacts and calendar to the applications you have chosen and will back up everything else. After the restore you will be given the option to reload the backup on the phone. So you should not lose anything unless you don't currently sync calendar and contacts to the desktop.

  • What is "other" capacity in the iPhone?

    What is "other" capacity in the iPhone? I have 2.6 BG. Is there a way to remove it?

    A large "other" indicates corrupt files.  A restore should resolve.
    Typically it is  a GB or less.

  • I would like to know what data represents the yellow "Other" in the Data Distribution Window on the Summary page of the iPad. It varies between a low of 1.50 GB to as much 5 GB. It seems to me that this is wasted space. Any ideas?

    I have observed my "Other" data increases in size after I deleted a video. My Other data once get to 18GB, yes eighteen.
    It seems like the only way to control this mysterious "Other" data is restoring the iPad to its manufacture configuration. Restore it to a previous back up doesn't help either.  Once in a while is ok, but several times a month is a pain.
    After the last restore (to manufacture), my other immediately jump to 0.4GB and seems to hold at 0.65GB.
    Looks more and more like a bug in iOs.

  • Capacity bar - what does the orange 'other' represent

    When sycing my iPhone, the capacity bar on the bottom of the iTunes page shows a large amount of 'other' space being used (colored orange). What is 'other'?Photos, apps, music are other colors on the bar. I do not have anything else on my phone that would take up alot of space. Does anyone know what 'other' is?

    Thanks that helps. It's 430 MB. I figured it was contacts but I don't think I have a lot compared to most people-- only 74. Just surprised me that it would take up so much of my space. I have 70 pictures on it which only take up 40 MG so it didn't make sense to me.

  • What is "other" in the iPod capacity bar on the summary page?

    I'd like to know what the other is for on my iTouch summary page? It is currently showing as 291 mb. All I have loaded is some video and music, there are no apps installed?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Other can be Album Artwork, Notes, Contacts, Firmware (the operating system software) etc. or (and this doesn't apply to the iPod Touch or iPhone which don't have the option to enabled for disk use), files that are on there if you are using the iPod as a removable storage device. If you feel that Other is being incorrectly reported then try restoring your iPod.
