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.

  • How can I see what is in the Trash folder?

    When I open the Trash folder, all I see is a gray bar with "Trash" on the left and a button marked "Empty" on the right.  I know I have items in the trash, but I can't see them.  It used to be when I opened the trash, I saw a list of all items in the trash.  What has changed??  Thanks.

    Your trash bin may be damaged and it's deleting items as soon as you put them in.
    Go to /Applications/Utilities/ folder and launch Terminal. At the prompt, copy and paste the following command into the Terminal window.
    sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
    Press Return. You will be asked to enter your admin password. As you type, your password will not be returned, so be sure to enter it correctly. Press Return again. Log out and back in or restart.

  • How can I see what I'm actually video recording on iPad Air so that I don't include extra stuff at the borders of the image? It seems to automatically "zoom in" on the screen, but when I export the video, the picture isn't framed well.

    When I try to record a video on the Ipad Air, the screen automatically "zooms in" closer than when I'm taking a photo. So I frame the interview and record it. But when I export it to post it or edit it, I discover that only the screen was zoomed in, the camera wasn't, so I have all this extra stuff around the edges of my frame.
    I don't need to zoom in, but I do need to be able to see what I'm shooting--otherwise, as I'm videotaping, I'm guessing at my picture's framing. But every time I switch from photo to video mode, the screen "zooms in." How can I see what I'm actually recording?
    I've been searching for an answer for this for a while, but I can't find any responses to it! Thanks.

  • HT4910 I have a simple question or 2. 1) how can I see what is on my icloud and how do I edit the data if I do not want it on icloud. 2) I have an app that I would like to update data - it doesn't appear to be doing that, how can I fix that? It is the mob

    1) how can I see what is on my icloud and how would I edit the data that is on it?
    2) I am having problems with an app syncing data with pc - how can I fix that? It is mobile noter.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can see what's in iCloud collectively at settings > iCloud > storage & back up > manage.... You can only edit the data through the appropriate app (contacts, calendars etc)
    For problems with 3rd party apps, contact the developer.

  • How can I see what is in my iCloud and on iPad and remove some stuff on on iPod mini

    How can I see what is in my iCloud and maybe remove some  from my iPad mini

    You have to sign into your iCloud account at icloud.com from a computer to view your iCloud data.  Also, be careful not to delete data from your phone that is being synced to iCloud or it will delete if from iCloud too.  (For example, if you delete a contact from your phone with Settings>iCloud>Contacts set to On it will remove the contact from iCloud too.)

  • How can I see what has been backed up

    After doing a category BU to my WD Passport Ultra, how can I see what was backed up? The Smartware tells me that what I selected was done.But how and where can I confirm this? Thanksgrowlybear

    Simplest way is to open the drive in Windows Explorer, then in the root you should find a folder WD Smartware.stor. Within that should be a folder for each device you've backed up, and within that a folder for each drive on that device that you've backed up. Within those drive folders you should find the files/folders that have been backed up from that particular drive. You can look through them in the same way that you look through the files/folders on your actual drive itself, and confirm that everything is there that you expect to be.

  • How can I see what is on my cloud?

    How can I see what is on my cloud? Also, I keep getting asked to manage storage when I am watching videos that I have bought through the store. I have bought lots of cloud space only half of which is used. Is my device too full of pictures or videos and how do I know if they are on the cloud or stored on the I tunes store where I bought them from?

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    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.
