how can i get rid of other folder on ipad

You can't remove the "other" section on your iPad, iTunes and the iOS need this folder to store data during syncing for example, damaged data and for all things, that you can't access on your device.
You can reduce the size by restoring, if the folder grows to more than 1GB due to problems when you sync or download apps or photos.

How can I get rid of duplicate entries in iPad iCal?

This is kind of a repeat and I apologize, but I have duplicate entries now in my iCa on my iPad because of iOS5? Others on this same topic said something about deleting the whole iPad calendar. Before I did that, I wanted to be sure, that if I delete the iPad calendar, it won't delete the iMac calendar. I'm just not sure how to get one one iCal entry in my iPad calendar. I have birthdays, etc. entered until eternity!

I notice the mail setting in iTunes is set to sync, but all the others are set at syncing with iCloud. What about mail? Should it be syncing with iCloud, iTunes, or both (I assume not both, but......). I still don't have mail working with iCloud anyway so I'm not sure what should be happening there.
I would be consistent with respect to the information in the "Info" pane in iTunes. That is, if you want to sync Calendars, Contacts, and email, use either iCloud for all 3 (e.g., enable all 3 in iCloud and deselect all 3 from iTunes) or iTunes for all 3 (select all 3 in iTunes and disable all 3 in iCloud).... don't break them up across services.

How can I get rid of a corrupt iCloud iPad backup?

I have a backup of my iPad 3rd genereation in my iCloud account. Every time I attempt to delete it from either my mav, iPad, or iPhone, i get the following message:
"Cannot delete backup. This backup cannot be deleted because it is in use."
I have tried the following method with no success:
Tap Settings, and then tap the iCloud icon
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
Tap your iOS device in the Backups area.
Tap Delete Backup.
You will be asked to confirm this change. Deleting this backup will also turn off Backup of your iOS device. Choose Delete if you want to turn off Backup and remove all backups for this iOS device from iCloud.

Well, folks, I determined the culprit here.
I failed to mention that I had, at one point, updated to a beta version of iOS 7 to try it out. I made an iCloud backup apparently while I was using it. When I then decided to revert to iOS 6.1.3 (the current iOS) apparently it was trying to draw from a version of iOS that was not yet releases (aka didn't exist to the public).
I had to re-install iiOS 7 and delte the back up then reinstall iOS 6.1.13 and restore from a backup i made just before I started the process.
It is possible that trying to delete any icloud backup for newer versions of iOS from an older one could be an issue.
Thank you all for the suggestions. Please use this thread to spread the word if the issue affects anyone else.

Now it tell me Itunes cannot backup because an "error" occured???? If i can't back it up then what do i do?
Restart the computer and the iPhone might resolve a backup issue. Also, try resetting the iPhone by holding both the sleep/wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo reappears. Afterward, attempt to restore again.
Before you restore, consider a few other things... One particular onging thread regarding "other" data has users finding that text messages with photos and/or videos taking up the "other" space. Deleting those text conversations helps regain space. (Before deleting, transfer any photos and videos you want to keep to your camera roll or computer.) In addition, check for any deleted phone voicemail messages and delete those to as well as voice memos.
If you decide to restore, the recommendation is to restore as new phone because the backup probably has the "other" data.

How can I get newstand in a folder on a ipad2 ?

How can I get newstand in a folder on iPad 2 ?

I've done it on both my iPad and my Touch. what I do is put 3 icons next to each other. newsstand and two others. use the other two to make the folder, then grab the newsstand the second the folder is made.
Newsstand is totally nonfunctional when it's in the folder and it will crash your ipad (as in try to open it and it goes back to the home screen). ALso, it seems when you do any upgrades, Apple 'kindly' puts newsstand back outside the folder.

How can I get rid of directory path in front of my folder names in Folder listing in Library mode???

Im using the most recent version of Lightroom 5.3 (updated through CC - even though this has shown up on previous version) on Windows 7 and all the folders in my library are showing up with the directory path in front of my folder names. How can I get rid of this? I do not see any options in preferences to turn this off. I have also turned off preferences in Windows > Folder Options Control Panel "Display full Path in Title bar" option.
I have Lightroom on several computers and have set up preferences the same on each workstation, and this only shows up on one workstation.
Any help would be appreciated.
You can see from the image below how this is showing up.
Thanks

My iTunes music folder is almost 1.5x the size on disc as my iTunes library. How can I get rid of this extra data?

When I look at the iTunes music folder in Windows Explorer, it shows as 28.0 GB. In the iTunes library, it says my music is 18.3 GB. I would like to get my 10 gigs back.
I've tried to add the media folder to my library - it just duplicated maybe 10 songs, didn't add any new ones. This suggests that there isn't any extra music in the folder. So why is it 10 GB larger? How can I get rid of the extra non-music data?

Apparently there are some mp3 files that aren't adding despite importing the folder...
That is actually a very common problem, due to iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. The problem can usually be corrected by treating the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program, such as MP3 Validator.
i don't know how much of the missing 9.7 GB this will apply to, but definitely worth a try.

Drag it to the trash icon in your dock. This is a disk image, and you need to "eject" it, to get rid of it.

"Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
email messages and attachments
Reminders
Calendar entries
Contacts
Text messages
MMS messages and attachments
Genius data
Music cover art
Operating system settings
Safari cache
bookmarks
Game Center status
Music catalog
Probably a few I've missed. There was a problem in an earlier version where deleted MMS messages left behind their attachments, but that has been fixed as of 6.1. The reason that deleting music recovers some Other space is because it delete cover art. But is also screws up your music, which will no longer play correctly.
You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 1 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
Your Other is so large, however, that there may be corrupt data contained in it (unless you send a lot of MMS messages with large attachments). If this is the case you should restore the phone as New.

11.25 gb of "Other"...how can I get rid of this??

I have an 32GB iPhone 4s with 11.25GB of "Other." How can I get rid of this or at least decrease it. It seems a little ridiculous for that much space to be used. I downloaded PhoneClean which freed around 1GB but didn't touch the "other" folder. I've seen several places on various sites to restore my iPhone. My question to that would be, if I restore it, will I lose all of my texts? My contacts, calendar, etc are on the iCloud, so I'm not worried about those but I don't want to lose my texts. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much!!
K

First of all, thank you for the information. I'm glad to know my texts will remain. I wasn't sure if a backup only included photos, videos, etc. Sometimes "backups" don't include everything, so I wasn't sure if everything was included with an iphone backup.
Second, when I received your first response I thought you sounded rude but gave you the benefit of the doubt. It's hard to hear one's tone when reading. However, upon reading your second response, I confirmed that you are in fact a jerk. It always amazes me that it makes some people feel good to make others feel bad. Thanks for the warm welcome to the Apple forum by the way. I see you're from Atlanta...glad that southern charm is just shining through!
Third, I didn't ask your opinion on how to run my business but since you commented on it I'd like to reiterate that my comment said "inconvenient." I certainly don't conduct business via SMS. In my business there are just certain tidbits of conversations that are nice to have on hand when I'm out and about.
Again, thanks for the information. I hope this will solve my problem. Sorry to trouble you.
