How can i get rid of all of the "other" stuff on my ipod.

I can't get it and my ipod is over capacity because of the "other" stuff on there .

An other less that about 1 1/2 GB is normal.
If larger that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software

  • How can I get rid of all of the duplicates in my contacts without having to go in one at at time?

    Some of my contacts are listed 4-6 times...making my contact list over 8000!  How can I streamline this without having the delete one at at time
    PLUS how do I keep this from happening again.

    Go in Settings. Then in "Itunes & AppStore". Deselect "Music" and "Videos" on top. This would solve the problem with the Music and Videofiles in the cloud, that you seem to see.
    The music isn't actually on your iphone. It just shows you what is in the cloud.

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

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

    I've used Brasso to remove minor scratches/scuffs from my Nano and 5th Gen iPod. It works pretty well, and it's available at any hardware store. Your local supermarket might even carry it in the isle with cleaning products.
    I don't know how well it would work for you. Having the iPod dragged around the floor sounds pretty rough. If it has deep scratches, there might not be anything you can do for it.

  • My ical is showing "on my mac" "iCloud" and "yahoo" calendars. I just want one calendar that will sync up to my iPhone. How can I get rid of all these Calendars???

    My ical is showing "on my mac" "iCloud" and "yahoo" calendars. I just want one calendar that will sync up to my iPhone. How can I get rid of all these Calendars??

    'On My Mac' and Yahoo calendars won't sync to iCloud. You can move them to iCloud, but then Yahoo will lose contact with its calendars. if you are happy to sync onlly with iCloud, and thus to your iPhone, you can move the calendars: you will have to do it one at a time, and the process is just a trifle convoluted - it's described in the first set of numbered instructions here:

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

  • How can i get rid of all my "other" space? it takes up 1.47 gb.

    My iPod has slowly accumulated 1.47 gb of "other" space. How do I get rid of it?

    By restoring the iPod to factory defaults.  Other can be made up by things such as album artwork, the iPod's operating system, etc.  However, sometimes it can also include corrupt files or data that is no longer recognizable by iTunes or your iPod.

  • HOW CAN I GET RID OF ALL MY PICTURES IN LIGHTROOM ?

    I SENT MY PICTURES FROM MY COMPUTER TO LIGHTROOM 5  AND NOW WHEN I TRY TO WORK ON ANYONE OF THEM   I CANNOT LOCATE THE PANEL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OR THE LEFT SIDE. HOW CAN I GET ACCESS TO THE TWO PANELS?

  • How can I get rid of all the 'adobe' sources listed when importing in Lightroom?

    How can I get these files to eject/disappear? I have tried searching them in finder and can't find them? Thank you.

    Those appear to be disk-image files (extension .DMG) somewhere on your hard drive, perhaps that are mounted as volumes and you need to eject or unmount them.  They are likely installers downloaded from Adobe.

  • Help!! how can I get rid of all this icloud music on my phone??

    I just upgraded to ios 7, and now there is a huge amount of my son's music on my phone and I cannot find any way to get rid of it. Oh, how I loathe apple file management!
    This music must be from itunes on his computer--we use a common account. I have manage music manually checked, I never sync to itunes. All of the unwanted music has little clouds with arrows on it. It does not appear in my music library, and in usual apple idiotic fashion, there is no way to delete from the phone itself
    I have deleted my icloud account, which ios 7 so graciously reactivated, but the unwanted songs still appear in my playlist.
    Please help--this destroys my music library
    TIA

    Go in Settings. Then in "Itunes & AppStore". Deselect "Music" and "Videos" on top. This would solve the problem with the Music and Videofiles in the cloud, that you seem to see.

  • HT201269 All the photographs stored on my computer ended up getting put on my iPhone. How can I get rid of them from the iPhone?

    All the photographs stored on my computer ended up getting put on my iPhone. How can I remove them from the iPhone?

    Photos synced to your phone can only be removed from your phone the same way they got there, through the iTunes sync process. Connect your phone, iTunes running, & under the photos tab remove the checks for all albums/folders you do not want on your phone. Hit the apply/sync button & they will be removed from your phone.

  • How can I get rid of some of the crap on my ipad.Like newsstand stocks etc didn't want them.Just like everything Else on these things they can tell us what I  can have on something I bought.Also I want thumbs back on safari.How do I do all this.

    Hi I hope my question will be answered on here apple can't.

    Think of it this way...
    There's a lot of stuff that's in iOS5 that you'll probably never use.  You don't worry about trying to delete that stuff, do you?
    Some of the Apple apps have direct ties into the iOS which makes it difficult to selectively delete them.
    No way to get rid of tabs that I know of.
    Let Apple know what you think here:
