Help - "other" memory filling up very fast?

I've had my iPhone 4 memory fill up with 19GB of "other" memory within a week.  I just restored it to the factory settings, and put back only a few songs, pictures and a few selective apps.  Yet within 24 hours I have 7GB of "other" memory.
How do I correct this?

Yes. First I restored my phone to its last back up, but that just gave it instantly 19GB of "other" memory. So I restored it as a new iPhone. This cleared the "other" memory to 0.38GB for the first 24 hours. Now I'm suddenly up to 7GB of "other" memory.
Any thoughts?

  • Cf# file, lost help viewer, & mouse tracking speed very fast...

    Yes really ! - I do believe it all happened at once.
    No recent system changes/updates/hacks - OS has latest updates - all worked splendidly...until:
    put the mac to sleep, back 1/2 hr later & changed mouse batteries - woke it up & mouse speed is superfast,help viewer wasn't working & files starting with cf# keep appearing momentarily in ~/library/preferences/ . the format seems to be cf#xxxxx - a different one each time
    maybe the file thing is nothing to do with it? - but would be interested in what it is.
    Help viewer fixed by trashing cache & plists - now fine
    Mouse speed can be slowed to a crawl using sys prefs-mouse & keyboard-tracking speed but just one step up from that; it's superfast again. The speed does increase even more if the slider is moved higher.
    So Question - finally! - is this lot related in any way?
    what's the cf#7zgE1 file about?
    what other files might compromise the mouse tracking speed ( I have no mouse-enhancing software )
    Thankyou

    re: cf#xxxx files, you wrote:"I'd love to, but they appear/disappear in an instant - took 7 attempts with grab to get a shot that included one. Nothing in console, no startup/login items at all."The information macjack provided in the link you cited isn't particularly relevant. All that document describes is the Mac OS X facilities for creating and managing preferences files, part of Core Foundation Framework. It doesn't explain the cf#xxxx files, it merely discusses preferences from a programmer's perspective.
    Since the appearance of these, and their mention on the Discussions, is a relatively new phenomenon, I'd be more inclined to suspect they are the side effect of some third-party application you may have installed recently, e.g. some bit of new shareware, a widget, etc. Such an app may be temporarily writing and removing those files, but the fact that they begin with "cf" may have been a developer's choice. The file names don't even correspond to the standard for preferences files. Just because they're in the Preferences folder does not make them preferences.
    I don't see them on my system. You'll have to monitor apps you launch, running widgets, third-party menu extras, etc. to see if the creation of the files begins after some such process is launched.
    If they show up, as you noted, with just Mail and Safari running (assuming you did not open Dashboard, which results in all widgets being launched), then they could be the result of either an Internet plug-in or a Mail plug-in you might have installed.
    Good luck!

  • "Other" Memory filling up on iPad

    I have an iPad 4th generation, and I was recently downloading a few video podcasts.  Prior to that, I checked that I had about 4GB of space left, enough to download the podcasts I wanted.  But in the middle of downloading, I had to cancel them becasue I was leaving the house.  However, when I checked the availabe space on my iPad, it said there was only 500MB left, and now I cannot re-download the podcasts.  I plugged it into iTunes and found that the "Other" category was taking up 8GB of storage.  How can I get rid of these, supposedly partially downloaded, files?

    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...

  • I recently performed a upgrade from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found that my phone battery drain up very fast and the battery unable charge to 100. Besides, the battery live is going down when I charging with  3G on.Any solution for my issue? Please help.

    Hi, I had my iPhone 4S and I'm recently upgraded it from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 and I found the battery drain up very fast if compare to iOS 7.0.5. Besides, I also unable to fully charger my phone to 100% now - max is 85% with phone either in airplane mode or switch off totally
    May seek help from your advise on above case.
    Thank you
    Best regards,
    Adrian

    Try killing the battery (Let it drain---turning on all the settings, playing a video, and having the brightness up kills it faster), then let it fully charge from there. Let me know if that works.

  • Battery dies very fast just in standby-HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

    My battery on my bb has been dieing very fast in standby. I have no apps running no wifi no blue tooth. I have may found the issue that might be a bigger issue with my phone what you say. The signal can go from 4 bars to no bars and stay at no bars for a few then jump back up to 4 bars. This I think happens all the time there for my battery being dead all the time. I looked at Verizon's map and I get full coverage  in my house and my bb does not leave my house. 
    Please give me Kudos if you feel like I helped you
    Thank you
    cuse165

    The map really doesn't matter here, coverage can vary due to many factors such as terrain, etc.
    IF you device is constantly searching for a signal, that can drain the battery.

  • My iPod battery is dying VERY fast, Help?

    I have an iPod touch 4th gen. and i love it. The problem is that the battery dies very fast. It will be completely charged and then 15 minutes later after facetiming or something it will be almost dead. But, when i turn it off it charges back up a little How do I fix this? Help? I use my ipod for school and i cant use it much when the battery is almost dead.

    It would be a good idea to have the techs at the Apple store genius bar test the iPod Touch and see if the battery is failing...that is a very fast drain problem.

  • My iPhone 5 is taking a lot of time to shift to 3G once I turn on the 3G button in cellular data settings please help. Once on 3G it drains battery very fast

    My iPhone 5 is facing problem with shifting to 3G once I select the turn on 3G button.
    It either takes a lot of time to change to 3G from 2g or sometimes doesn't change to 3G and I am not able to access the 3G speed.
    Need help as it is getting very frustrating as I just upgraded to the latest 6.1 OS and its already facing bugs.

    Thanks Chris for your advice. I have done the restoration from both the device and computer as a new device but it doesn't help. Even I have restored my device to the factory settings with standard apps in it without installing any other additional apps,  the phone heats up & I have to recharge at least 3 times  per day. This is abnormal to me.

    Some, possibly, but shouldn't be a problem.

    Much of it is OSX and other things needed to run your Mac.

  • BPM data increase very fast and want to get suggestion about BPM capacity

    Dear BPM Experts:
    I meet a problem with BPM capacity problem. My customer using BPM 11g and every day they
    Have 1000 new process,every process have 20-30 tasks,they find the data increase very fast,about 1G/day.
    We have done a test about BPM capacity, I create a new simple process named simpleProcess.
    which only have three input field, I use API to initiate the task and submit to the next
    person.
    we using dev_soainfra tablespace, and we set the default audit level, after insert 5000 task, we find dev_soainfra is reach 362.375M,
    So as assume 30000 task will using 362*6=2G database spaces,and because in next phases,my customer want
    To push BPM platform to more customers, which means more and more customer will using this platform,so
    I want to ask is it data increase reasonable? Do you have capacity planning guide for BPM 11g? and If I want to reduce
    Lower The data increase, how can we do?
    We have try to turn the audit log off, but it seems useless, it only save 8% spaces.
    Thanks for your help!
    Eric

    It looks like you are writing your data to disk every so often.  For that reason, I recommend making it based on the number of samples you have instead of the time.  With that you can preallocate your arrays with constants going into the shift registers.  You then use Replace Array Subset to update your arrays.  When you write to the file, make sure you go back to overwriting the beginning of your array.  This will greatly reduce the amount of time you spend reallocating memory and will reduce your memory usage.

  • N97 Phone Memory Filled Up

    Hi,
    I am using N97 rom 02-Aug-09. everything was working fine untill i notice tht my phone memory is getting filled up although i never installed any application & i hv set my default memory as mass memory from the very beginning. for nokia care in india the only solution is format/soft.update. moreover they couldn't even trace where the memory is occupying so that it could be set free.
    can anyone please guide me !

    Odd, thanks like TOO MUCH other files. I dont really know what these other files are myself. They sometimes clean themselves out..
    However, I do notice that when I uninstall apps, some other files go as well, and when I reinstall them they dont come back. I used to have this problem myselft, however I just formatted my phone and became more cautious in putting anything in it. So far the "other files" hasnt grown in months.
