How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or 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, 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.

  • HT1689 What is other in the iPad

    What is other on the iPad when syncing.  It seems to take up a lot of space.  Can I reduce on the amount of other without creating an issue on the iPad?

    I need to connect my iPad to a projector and have USB ports. What do I need to do this and where can I get the suitable fittings? I really need to have more than one USB connection port. Help

    You can connect via a cable or wireless using an Apple TV.

    Alternately, there are Apple Digital AV Adapters for hardwired connections:

    If your location does’t have wifi to use with the Apple TV, use a portable router.

  • In OSX Activity Monitor, what's the difference between 'free' memory and 'inactive' memory

    In OS X Activity Monitor, what's the difference between 'free' memory and 'inactive' memory. My daughters 2Gb MacBook Pro is very slow, it probably needs more memory but there is almost 1Gb of 'inactive' memory but no 'free' memory when an application is opened.
    Thanks

    Free RAM is the one that has not been used by any application since you started up your Mac, and inactive RAM is the one that was used by an application and it is not in use anymore.
    1 GB of inactive RAM is a lot, and it may be the cause of the slowness. There are a lot of apps that allows you to turn inactive into free RAM. I use FreeMemory, but have a look at the Mac App Store.
    If you are a developer, you can do that with a command you can type into Terminal:
    sudo purge

  • What if I chose the 250Gb memory for windows but I want to take away from Makos 50 Gb but I do not want reboot windows

    What if I chose the 250Gb memory for windows but I want to take away from Makos 50 Gb but I do not want reboot windows

    If I understand you correctly, you are asking how to resize your partitions for MacOS and Windows (Boot Camp) you don't want to reboot the computer to do it.  If that is correct, then I don't know of any way for you to do what you want.  In order to resize the partitions, you will need to reboot the OS that is running from the partitions, preferably exit the OS, resize the partitions, then restart the OS, so it has a clean view of the disk.

  • What is "other" in the capacity bar and how do i manage it?

    What is "other" in the capacity bar and how do I manage it?

    The "other" is mainly corrupt files and files that did not get deleted by apps one the app was done with the file. Normally the other s less than 0.25 GB.  To reduce the size of other, usually a restore to factory defaults/new iPodis required.  Sometimes restoring from backup helps a little.

    Please read the Mail Setup Assistant and trouble shoot by clicking the I want to Verify an Exisiting Account and double check your settings. If they are correct then erase the ones input and re-input them.

  • HT1386 What is "other" in the storage category and how do you reduce that amount?

    What is "other" in the storage category and how do you reduce that amount?

    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • What is a GSM-compatible SIM card and where do I get one?

    I live inMexico and plan to buy an unlocked iPhone5s in the States this summer.  What is a GSM-compatible SIM card and where do I get one? 

    I believe all cell phone carriers in Mexico are GSM carriers.
    Will this be your first cell phone?
    If not and your carrier in Mexico provides a nano-SIM card which is required for the iPhone 5S, you ask your carrier for the SIM card.
    If a problem develops with the iPhone that requires an exchange under warranty, you will need to return to the U.S. to receive an exchange.

  • HT2494 Good afternoon, I have a set of 5 speakers + 1 subwoofer 5.1 from Altec Lansing and I would like to connect the 3 cables - 1 black + 1 yellow + 1 green - to my new i-mac. What connection type do I need? And where I can connect it? BR Pascal

    Good afternoon,
    I have a set of 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer 5.1 from Altec Lansing and I would like to connect the 3 exit cables  - 1 black + 1 green + 1 yellow - to my new i-mac 22" - acquired last week - equipped with only 4 USB 3.0 + 2 Thunderbolt + 1 Ethernet + 1 jack for micro or speaker.
    What connector type do I need? And where can I connect ot?
    Many thanks in advance for your help
    Best regards
    Pascal Quennesson

    Sorry you cannot
    That speaker system is for sound cards on PC's which separate the channels, the Mac's don't seperate the channels or decode surround sound formats  and only pass the 5.1 through the dual analog/optical stereo mini port.
    You might find a external device that accepts Toslink optical inputs and then separates the channels and sends the appropriate signal to the powered speakers.

  • I recently bought an ipad 4 on ebay but original owner didnt remove it from their apple account. Now I cant activate it. Any suggestions?? Thx.

    I recently bought an ipad 4 on ebay but original owner didnt remove it from their apple account. Now  i cant activate it. Any suggestions?? Thx.

    Send it back. That's the activation lock and it's a theft deterrant program. If the seller can't or won't give you that apple ID to unlock it, then you'll never be able to use it (and it's a very real possibility that the ipad wasn't theirs to sell in the first place)

  • What is including in the other section of my memory and how do I manage it?

    I'm running out of memory and I can't seem to find out what is in the section labeled as other when I connect the Ipad to itunes. Can anyone help?

    that other folder is files sync'd from your pc but are not readable by the device. so try this but understand its a complete data loss and your backup will have the "other folder"  so must be set up as new.  as far a permanent fix buy a mac computer and dont sync with windows
    recovery mode
    open itunes on computer
    plug cable into computer not phone
    turn phone off
    hold home button and plug cable into phone.  do not release home button until an itunes graphic appears on device.
    look to computer should have message about recovery mode click ok and restore
