How do I get rid of this "other" category on my 32 gb iPod touch 5g?

I got this 32gb iPod Touch 5g last week. I realized that when I openned it, it had like 10 mb used from the other section on itunes.
Through the days, it's been getting bigger and bigger. I had like 1.1gb on this "other" section on itunes so I searched about it.
I tried unchecking and checking the open itunes when this ipod is conencted,worked the first time but in the next sync, it went up again.
Then I restored ipod from backup but didnt work.
Then I restored ipod to factory settings, without a backup, and it had like 500mb used on the "other" section
After that, I synced my ipod without putting anything on it, it increased 100mb more on this section.
I don't know what else to do. I downloaded iExplore as I've read that it helped people to get rid of that BUT I don't even know how to use it.
I'm not using the iCloud.
The only thing that I think messed it up was that I downlaoded a magazine on the newstand store, inside this app I got a free issue of a magazine, it was about 500mb but after a while I deleted the app with the magazine issue but I think it never went away from my iPod
I restored ipod to factory settings so is there a way that app is still stuck on it?
I tried to look it up on iExplroe but didn't find anything.
I also dont have ny email account on the ipod
Can you all please help me? and if iExplore will help, what do I have to do? I will really appreciate

Yesterday I was making all my music to 256 kbps and i was syncing all my music to my ipod and all of the sudden it changed to 250mb but then when it was done syncing it went to 750mb (which is what I got after restoring and all that).
Is this normal? Even if I remove my music, that "other" doesn't reduce at all.

  • I have a huge amount of my memory used by 'other' than photos and music - to my knowledge, there is nothing there apart from a few songs and photos and 5 podcasts. What could it be? How could I get rid of this 'other' stuff and get the memory back?

  • How do I get rid of the "other" category on my iPad Air?

    iTunes is saying that "other" occupies 1.97GB out of my 16GB tablet and I need to learn how to remove it. I am a long-time apple user with all the apple devices, but can't seem to figure out what causes the "other" category to be so large on any of my devices.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • HT4623 My iphone has 7.85gb of "other" space and won't let me update because of lack of space. How can I get rid of this "other" space?

    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.

  • I get a recurrent request to connect by wi-fi to another computer on my wi-fi network, even if I am already connected to this other computer by wi-fi.  How do I get rid of this recurrent request?

    I have two MacBook Pros on my local wi-fi network.  I usually have these connected to each other over my wi-fi network.  Normally, I only connect to my old computer (MacBookPro) from the new computer (MacBookPro2), so I can access files on my old computer that are typically not on my new computer.  I use the same admin username (John Doe) and password on each computer.  Currently, I have Mavericks (10.9.5) on my old computer and Yosemite (10.10) on the new MacBook Pro.  All
    I am now getting a recurrent request to connect to old computer even when I am already connected!  When this request is being made, I am asked to connect to a username (johndoe instead of John Doe).  The exact alert:
         Enter your name and password for the server "MacBook Pro".
         connect as     << button is pressed for Registered User >>
         Name: johndoe
         Password: _________
         << Cancel button >>  << Connect button >>
    When I enter correct user name (John Doe or johndoe) and password for my account on Mavericks computer, the connection fails (whether I connected to Mavericks computer or not), and I get the following:
         There was a problem connecting to the server "MacBookPro".  The share does not exist on the server.  Please check the share name and try again. 
    If I change to the proper share name John Doe and use the correct password, I still am not connected and I get the same failure message and am asked to use the correct share name again.  If I cancel message, the connection message goes away for a while whether I am actually connected to old computer or not. It will then come back on the workspace I am currently using on my new macbook.  When I am downloading files using terminal, the connect request comes up constantly if I continue canceling the message which is really irritating.  How do I get rid of this constantly recurring request to connect???

    It means you must be connected to your computer via Wi-Fi (or cable).
    Or wait for iOS 5

  • I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do I get rid of this?

    I can not sync ipod due to 6gb of 'other', how do i get rid of this?

    Hello drumsdonkey,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. While it refers to iOS devices, most steps are applicable for your situation as well:
    iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1503
    One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
    - Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    - Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    - Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • 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.

  • Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

    Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
    How do I get rid of the other stuff?
    capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
    i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
    now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for  apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
    i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
    Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
    i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

    In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
    At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
    The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    I worked it out.
    Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
    Go to your HD.
    Go to Users.
    Go to your House (home)
    there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
    Go to Mail in this folder
    The next folder ( for me ) is V2
    Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
    Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
    Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
    In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
    In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
    This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
    Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
    It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
    Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
    Best wishes.

  • The curser includes a text box from a previous image or link when the curser is positioned on the side of the page. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. how do i get rid of this?

    the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

    Make a temporary backup of your library (if you don't already have a backup of it) and launch iPhoto with the Command +Option key held down and rebuild the library with options #1, 2, 3 and 6 selected.
