How do I decrease my "Other" in my iPhone?

I have an iPhone 4 wih 13.71 GB I can use. My "Other" is taking up 8.25 GB after I restored it from its 6.25 GB before. What is going on and how do I fix the problem?

Highly unlikely, but regardless.
The way to resolve is to restore as new. If OTHER is still over 1GB, restore as new.

Not sure. Haven't checked but maybe VZW will post another "Getting Ready" guide for the 4s like they did for the 4. You can also check the App store via iTunes to see if the current app works for the iPhone 4s. I personally didn't use backup assistant...I never liked how it worked with my other devices (always mixed things up so contacts might have multiple listings instead of one and would place the mobile number as a home number and vice versa). iTunes syncing was quick and easy. I was coming from a BlackBerry when I got my iPhone though so I'm not sure if that's an option for the Voyager.
If you do some searching on the VZW site, or even Google, you can still find those getting ready guides. All the same info would apply, I'd think.
I know the info for the iPhone 4 is still available...but not sure if everything will be the same. Since iOS 5 will make it where you don't have to connect the iPhone to a computer at all there may be a way to do it without that step (which is necessary with iOS 4 if you want to use iTunes to sync contacts). You might be able to get your contacts on your computer from the Voyager and then sync them to the iPhone through the Cloud. Or...it might just be exactly the same as the current iPhone. That's why I was saying maybe they'll post another guide for the 4s. There might even be an owners manual PDF for the 4s already on the apple site. Not sure but if there is then some info would also be available there.

You can reduce the corrupt files by restoring your iphone.

How do i remove the other for my iphone 5

I have 3.56 GB being used in other.. I have no idea what this is and cant add anymore music.. What can I do to remove this? I need help......
Also i already deleted old emails and old text messages removed all my photos and it didnt go down in gb at all....

You cannot remove other entirely.
If a restore from backup does not clear up and reduce the size of other the next step is a restore as new
Before you go that route though, check your message history and clear up some of the history and media message that have been sent/received, that may just drop the size of other significantly.

"Other" data on iphone?

What is contained in other data on iphone?

"Other" data is real data including your system files and cached content that you put on your device by using the built-in apps. It's just that as you use the phone, it will grow. This includes:
Messages and attachments
Contacts
Reminders
Safari bookmarks and cache
Email messages and attachments
Calendar entries
Genius data
Music catalog and cover art
Operating system settings
Game Center status
To clear out “Other” data from your device, you don’t need to restore your device, just install and run iLike to resolve this problem.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
"Other" refers to OS X files, caches, downloads, documents. See Other in this website > http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html
I would not worry about Other because they contain files that you need, but if you want to decrease the size, start deleting downloads and documents

I created a Pages document inserting 2 columns using 1) Inspector 2) Layout 3) columns. How do I decrease the height of the column. Have tried to use cursor and drag down the top border, but that does not reset the top border.

Set your columns back to one for the moment. In layout mode, insert a Text box. Place it in the upper left corner of your document, and drag down and right to the size of the container for your two columns. Click inside the Text Box, and now bump up your columns to 2. Your two columns are now contained in this resizable Text Box.

How do I decrease a movie's file size in imovie

I need to upload a video to a website but the movie is 119mb and the website will only allow 40mb maximum. How do I decrease the file size so I can upload it?

Changing the quality setting will apply more jpeg compression to the file and reduce its file size without reducing the image size. If you want to reduce the image size also then change the pixel dimensions as Larry methoned. A combination of the two can get you the best possible image at the 2 MB or less file size. May take a little trial and error.

You haven't mentioned which mail it is,
If it is G-mail go to settings --> general tab--> default text style , you can change your font size & then save at the bottom of the page

How can I decrease the leading on all hard returns?

How can I decrease the leading on all hard returns? I have a paragraphs that has 12pt leading, but I want 8pt leading on the returns. Is there a way to change them all at the same time? I know you can increase them by using the space before and after tabs. They only let you go from 0" and up, but not in the negative.

I figured it out. Instead of having two hard returns I just used one and used the space after. I was using the space after and before option incorrectly. Thank you.

We had one family apple id. I want to keep all devices on the same apple id for itunes but separate ones for everything else. How do I change the others now. We have 3 iphones and an ipad.

We had one family apple id. I want to keep all devices on the same apple id for itunes but separate for everything else on the cloud. How can I change the other apple ids now? We have 3 iphones and an ipad.

Hi, thank you for this post. I hope you might be able to help me too?
I am relatively new to apple (have an iPad) and having been a PC user for years I was pleasantly surprised with the apple experience and am now trying to work out the best set up for me, my husband and young son as I am buying them both of them apple products this Christmas. New Mac laptop/ ipad for hubby and then an ipod touch for my son oh and a new mac laptop for me. We are also thinking of moving from Blackberries to iPhones. Yes we seem to be hooked! but i am unsure about the home family set up and how to replace my PC network that I run off an 8TB server.
In reading the forums I keep seeing people talk about problems they have with two apple IDs and trying to merge them. I have also heard about a family ID allowing us to share apps legally. I am really nervous of setting us up wrong and then having problems later and hence i am now looking for some advice on how to share as much as we can legally but also make usage practical and not invading each others privacy. thoughts so far:
Music - I think we are happy to share the same music and access using one ID (we currently don't buy much music from apple but have lots of CDs we share).
Photos - It would be nice to share photos - as long as my son or husband cannot accidentally delete photos of mine (which is my biggest concern). I currently load all camera photos onto my 8TB storage box as the network owner and my husband has full access to copy any photo to his laptop but can never delete the original copies by accident.
Apps - If possible i would like us to share these but they are cheap enough these days to separate if really needed. Would be good to share licence for pages etc though
cloud, contacts, facetime, email - this is what is making me consider separate IDs or learning how to have multiple users in one apple ID - I do not want to have to share synced contacts with my husband. I have near 300 contacts now through work etc and he will not want them plus i will not want his or him being able to delete mine by mistake. and then for email and facetime, well I want to give him his privacy so I do not receive his messages etc. especially now that we are considering switching to iPhones
Then last but not least, i don't know the best solution for my son. he is only 7 years old so even though I don't want to pay for things again I don't want him being able to download "just any" app from the purchased icon in Appstore. Also, is there a child friendly setting to prevent him from viewing inappropriate content on the internet?
Appreciate I have asked a lot of questions here but I am looking for any genuine advice out there. Thank you or other potential advisers in advance.

I have two email accounts. It is only letting me check one. How can I check the other?

I registered two different email accounts on my iPad mini. It's only letting me check one. How can I check the other one too?

Congratuations on your new iPad!
Since your device is so new, I can state categorically that this an issue with configuration. Delete the account that doesn't work, and enter the information anew.
If you're still having problems, check that your email address and password are correct, and if possible, verify it by checking your ISP's settings.
