How to read summary page in itunes

Can someone please tell me on the summary page with iPhone pluged in, the bar on the bottom, what is 'OTHER'? Its taking a lot of space and if I could cut it down, that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

Hello LAS97,
It sounds like you are seeing "other" data in iTunes when your iPhone is connected.  Sometimes "other" is being used by information like contacts, calendars, the iOS software installed on your device, settings, and other system resources.  I recommend reviewing the following articles to learn more about storage capacity on your iPhone:
Understanding capacity on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1867
How OS X and iOS report storage capacity
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2419
If you are still seeing more "other" data than expected, it may be that the iPhone was disconnected during syncing:
In the case of iOS device becoming physically disconnected in the middle of syncing music, podcasts, videos or photos, it's possible that orphaned files will be left on the iOS device. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions.
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:
You can find more information and steps to resolve this issue at the following link:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • How do I find the summary page on ITunes. Have new Windows 8 and have to change to manually manage music

    I have downloaded audiobooks from the library using Overdrive for years. I have a new computer with Windows 8 and now it's been difficult. I have a book ready to transfer to ITunes to download to my Ipod but in order to transfer it a message came up saying go to the summary page in ITunes and check Manually Mange Music.  I can't find the summary page anywhere on itUNES

    The Summary screen is what you see in the main part of the iTunes window, when you select the iPod in iTunes.
    To select the iPod in iTunes when the iTunes sidebar is NOT visible, there is a "device button" near the upper right corner of the iTunes window.  If your iPod is the only connected device, it should say "iPod."  Click it to select your iPod in iTunes.
    If the iTunes sidebar IS visible (along left side of window), the iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES.  Click it there to select it.
    When the iPod is selected, there is a row of buttons that starts with Summary.  Summary should be the initially displayed screen.  That setting (a checkbox) is actually Manually manage music and videos for an iPod touch.

  • Where do I locate my apple ID summary page in itunes?

    My itunes has been registered with 5 computers. I no longer have access to them (as they have all crashed) so I need to register my new PC with my itunes account. In order to do so, I need to deactivate all of my other computers under the Apple ID Summary page in Itunes --- but I cannot seem to find it? Please help!

    In that situation, you're not stuck with one of your authorizations being used on a non-functional computer. Your iTunes account provides a way to deauthorize iTunes on old or dead computers.
    Begin by opening the iTunes program and going to the iTunes Store via the iTunes Store button in the top right.
    Once you're at the iTunes Store, click on the Sign In button at the top left corner (if you're not signed in) or on your account name in the same location (if you're already signed in).
    This will bring you to your iTunes account. In the top box, you'll see a section labelled Computer Authorizations towards the bottom. Next to it is a button that reads Deauthorize All. Click it.
    A window will pop up asking you to confirm that this is what you want to do. Continue.
    In just a few seconds, all 5 computers on your account will be deauthorized.
    Now, re-authorize just the computers that you still use and you'll be all set.

  • How to read Chinese Characters in iTunes?

    Hi all,
    Is there anyone who can enlighten me on how I can read chinese characters in iTunes? I have quite a number of Chinese songs that I wish to be played in iTunes, but I noticed that it does not read the chinese song titles and had small rectangles in place of the chinese characters.
    I tried using a third-party software lke NJStar, but the chinese characters resulted were crammed together and were not legible.
    Please help. Thanks.

    now instead of small
    little squares, there are funny symbols and letters
    that don't make any sense whenever there are
    supposedly chinese characters.
    That probably means that the id3 tags on your songs are not encoded correctly. I understand that the program ConvertZ can help fix this.

  • How to create summary page in reports10g

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a summary page for a report that will show the data in a graphical form(bar graph) .
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    You can use Oracle Graphics. Define a chart object in Report Builder. The property 'Chart Filename' will get the name of the Oracle Graphics-document (e.g. bar_chart.ogd).
    In the property 'Parameters and Columns' you can set the association between the report columns and the columns in the Graphics-document.
    I'm not sure whether you can use Oracle Graphics with Reports 10g, but I think it should be possible.
    Search for Oracle Graphics User Guides at OTN.
    Kind Regards,
    Lennart de Vos

  • ITunes summary page

    I'm having a recurring problem with the summary page on iTunes; when I bring it up, only the top portion of the page is accessible - only the "sync contacts" pane and the top part of the "sync calendars" pane shows up and I don't seem to be able to access the panes or functions lower down.  Any ideas?
    thanks in advance

    10.7 Lion got rid of the slider (but it appears momentarily when scrolling and for a short bit thereafter)..
    Use two fingers on your trackpad to scroll down/up in the window (and the slider will also appear).

  • How do I know if my iphone has successfully been backed up to my iTunes? I plugged it in and it said it backed up and I did a sync, but when I am looking through the summary page and I am not sure that all of my data got backed up. Please help!!

    I have never backed up my iphone to my itunes because I always used the cloud. However, a few months ago, my wifi disk in my phone burned out so the Apple Store told me to back up everything to my itunes. I am going today to get the iphone 6 so I connected my phone (iphone 4S) to my itunes and I backed up and synced. However, when I look throughout the summary page and click in different areas (Photos, Movies), I don't see any of my data -- it is still asking me to Sync from iPhoto or to sync from another location. By backing up & syncing my phone, did all of my data get saved? Or do I still need to do more steps?
    Sorry for the long winded question, I am just so nervous to get a new phone and plug it in to be restored and not have any of my pictures, videos or contacts, etc. Any help would be so so appreciated!

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
    Sync Calendars:
    Your calendars are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

  • Font size too large on itunes summary page . Half the words are cut off.

    How to change font size on the itunes summary page? Currently font size is too large resulting in sentences being cut off.

    Did you increase the minimum font size?
    If you increased the minimum font size then try a lower setting (default is ''none'') as a too high value can cause issues like you described.

  • I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
    Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
    Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases!  It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'! 

  • Did the update to OS 5...synched all my apps..then only 11 pages of apps are visible..the others are invisible..If I move an appfrom the 12 plus pages in itunes to a lower page...It becomes visible....WHY?..How can I get all 20 plus pages visible?

    Did the update to OS 5...synched all my apps..then only 11 pages of apps are visible..the others are invisible..If I move an appfrom the 12 plus pages in itunes to a lower page...It becomes visible....WHY?..How can I get all 20 plus pages visible?

    OK....First,you are right, OS 5 has the 11 page limit....you must create folders of Apps until you get below 11 pages of combined folders and apps...NOTE.....the upgrade to OS 5 killed all of my old folders and folder organizations...this may be an issue for all????.....I have over 300 apps so when the old folders went away...I was left with 20 plus pages....only 11 visible....It took me awhile to find out what happened....Since I have 64G it seems that 11 visible pages is a silly limit since the apps are on the machine...
