How come my iPhone has 11gb of the "other" category taken up?

When I look into iTunes, about 11 gb is taken up because the "other" category on it. I literally just got it last night, has no music, very few apps, and my contacts, that's about it.

HT201656 how can i see what is in the "other" category

Can you see whats in the other category, and delete what you don't want?

The other catrgory includes system files and saved game data. The only way to see what's in it and to delete it is to jailbreak (which I don't recomend doing right now) but if you would like to do that, you need to root the phone, however I don't want to get into jailbreak stuff on an Apple run forum.

How do I tell what is in the Other category of storage?

My phone shows its almost full, but the biggest catogry of storage is the "other" at 6.9g. How do I see what makes that up?

"Other" normally incudes the iOS, app data, messages and email. It normally is not much over 1 GB, often less. Unless you have a massive number of messages on your phone, there is corrupted data appearing as "other."
To get rid of it, restore the iOS using iTunes. You can try also restoring a backup, but the backup may contain the corrupted data and it will reappear on the phone. In that case, you'll have to restore as new.

I just bought an iphone 4s today and the 'other' category is taking up most of the room on my phone, how do I clear that space?

what do i do?!

It means that you did not deauthorize any of the computers no longer in your possession. You can deauthorize all computers once a year by opening iTunes Store and selecting your Account link under Quick Links. You can then reauthorize your new computer.

Hey Cherielly,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Since you are having an issue with syncing to a different apple id. You may want to make sure you are signing in with the correct apple id.

How come my iweb template is half the size of my web page is their any way to expand it.

The Inspector is the blue circle with the I.
The Inspector has 10 icons.
Each icon represents a purpose :
Adding hyperlinks,
Changing the textformatting,
Changing the width and height of objects,
Changing the page settings,
If you're familiar with a wordprocessor you will recognize most icons.
There's also an often ignored word in the menu bar : HELP
See if that helps you any further.

Thanks, I thought so but wanted to be sure before running out and buying one... I also called Apple Joint Venture and they helped me set it up without the Airport by using my iMac as the wifi! Thanks again!

You can only obtain warranty OR post warranty service in the country of original purchase
As your iPhone has user damage it has no warranty
IF the iPhone originated from Spain or another EU country you can get out of warranty service in any EU country
