HHow do I change media sync options to make more storage available

Hi Gohs07,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The resources below will explain some options for downloading and syncing video to create smaller files on the iPhone:
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-gb/ts4223
Download previously purchased content in a lower resolution
The easiest way to put purchased videos onto your device is to download the videos from iTunes in the Cloud. This should make sure that you get the highest resolution video optimized for your specific device. Learn more about downloading from iTunes in the Cloud.
Syncing video to iPhone 3G or earlier, iPod touch (1st or 2nd generation), iPod classic, iPod 5th generation, or iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation)
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. You can download the latest version for free here.
Open iTunes on your computer.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Navigate to your Purchased page. Find it by clicking Movies or TV Shows from the top navigation bar in the iTunes Store, and then click Purchased from "QUICK LINKS" in the iTunes Store.
Choose the appropriate video type: Movies or TV Shows.
In the lower-right corner of the screen, deselect the box next to "Download HD When Available."
Search for the desired video and click the download button.
This should download the standard definition version to your computer so you can sync to your device.
1 Currently 1080p content is compatible with iPad (3rd generation), Apple TV (3rd generation), and a Mac or PC.
2 Some movies may not be available from iTunes in the Cloud. Learn more about where iTunes in the Cloud is available.
Notes: Your computer must meet the minimum system requirements for proper playback of 1080p content.
For movies which are available from iTunes in the Cloud, purchasing the movie will download the HD version to sync to your compatible iOS devices. When you purchase movies in HD that are not currently available for iTunes in the Cloud, the movies will download both the HD and SD versions to sync to your compatible iPod and iOS devices. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some previously purchased movies are not available for iTunes in the Cloud.

Cannot update my phone as message comes through "updating to iOS 7.0.4 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available"
What media sync options? Where are they ? How do I change them?

Afraid, this doesnt help. I've already unselected about 100 iTunes, resynced, and I still get the same message about 610 MB needing to be deleted.
What is so magic about 610 MB as a number?
Is this anything to do with iCloud? I was on the free 20 MB offeruntil last month and then got downgraded to 5 because I could n't see the need for paying for extra Cloud space. Is this the reason why?

When you get this message there is no alternative but to delete content from your phone, this per my conversation with Apple support a few minutes ago. In that cast try to delete only free apps or things like podcasts that can easily be restored from the original source should you desire to do so.
iTunes is a very poorly written program with an ancient interface--in 2014 it does not even support windowing. You are foolish to rely on iTunes for backing up and restoring whatever programs or data in order to upgrade the iOS. Apple's only concern with restoring and backing up data centers on DRM protrected music purchased from iTunes, nothing else and is designed to not restore media files not purchased from iTunes. Hence in my experience Apple telephone support will tell you to use third party software for transferring media from an old to a new phone when you encounter the inevitable problems. If as I do you use the phone for business software back up your data in the way that program deigns and do not rely on iTunes, particularly prior to upgrading the OS or transferring data to a new phone.

You're out of space. Do you sync music to your phone? If so, try syncing it over in 128kb which will save a lot of room. Option is right in front of you in iTunes when you plug phone in.

Turn off the check mark to sync your music and also the check mark for the video. Sync the device. This will remove the items from you iPad but still keep them on your computer. Install IOS 7.1.2. Then turn on the check marks for your music and videos and resync the device.

How do I change my media sync options in my iPhone?

I have added some songs on iTunes on my MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to sync it with my iPhone. Also, got the message an OS upgrade is available. When I tried it said this: "Updating to iOS 7.0.4 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone. Please change your media sync options to make more storage available." How do I do that?

welcome to the forum ,responses by volunteers .....
Follow the Apple document to start
You need to untick items you sync via iTunes and reduce the space used on the iPhone as in a videos etc etc
If you can do the update via itunes it does all the hard work unpacking the update and pumping the update to the device otherwise the device takes the strain requiring more space than you may have

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.

How to make more storage space to upgrade iPhone 4

Can’t upgrade to IOS 8.0.2 b/c phone says, “This upgrade cannot be installed because it requires at least 4.7 GB of storage. You can make more storage available by deleting items in Usage Settings.” Phone says I only have 1.4 GB available. I’ve only got 1) 2.7 GB of music, 2) 161 MB of photos, and total of 2 GB of other apps. Everything else are Apple apps, such as contacts, safari, mail, etc. I cleaned out most photos.
I’ve made a point of downloading very few apps and keeping all photos on my iMac, but the phone has filled up in only a few months. Seems only way to make any real space available is to have no music, no photos, and no apps. Only that will create 4.8 GB of available space. Is it just a phone then? Is there any other practical option?

You can look in Settings > General > Usage > Storage > Manage Storage. That list will tell you what is taking up the most amount of space. Obvious culprits are photos and video. But games and magazine subscriptions are also very large.
What you delete first depends on what you use your iPhone for. What is your priority? In any case, that list will at least help you see what takes up the most space and decide what should go first.

When trying to update my ipad tp iOS8, i received a message that I must change my media sync settings. How do I do that?

When trying to upday\te my iPad to iOS8, i received a pop up saying that I must change my media sync settings. How do I do that?

This usually means you don't have enough storage on your iPad to do the update. Go to Settings > General > About and check how much memory is available. If you have less than 5GB you'll need to either delete data off your iPad, such as apps, photos, music, videos.
OR
Connect your iPad ot your computer and update iOS via iTunes sync.

How to change "Your current options" to become our custom label

Dear All,
how to change "Your current options" in the IP Phone display, to become our custom label?
Thanks,
Jerri

Hi jerry,
I don't know if it works out or not but if you want to try then refer below steps
1). download SCCP-dictionary.utf-8.xml from CUCM (tftp -i GET SCCP-dictionary.utf-8.xml)
2). Edit that file which contains "Your current options" as per your requirement and save it.
3). Upload file to all tftp servers (if you have multiple).
4). Restart tftp service of all tftp servers (if you have multiple).
If restarting tftp service don't help you then try to do factory reset of the phone.

Nishant Savalia

How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out

How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out
The Netscape server products are all managed by a single administration
server, which gives you a web forms-based interface you can use to
configure them, start/stop them, check their logs, and so forth.

There are three levels of protection that keep the general public from
being able to get into your administration server and mess up the
configuration of any Netscape servers you have installed:

<OL>
<LI> Obscurity: Your administration server can run on any port you'd
like (usually something between 81 and 30,000), so if an attacker
doesn't know what port to find your admin server on, he can't get
into it.
<LI> Host restrictions: You can tell your admin server to only allow
connections from specific hosts, and to reject all other hosts.

<LI> Password protection: Even if a user connects to your admin server
from a valid host, he won't be allowed to get into even the first
page unless he presents a valid username and password.
</OL>

If you, the legitimate administrator of your web server, are unable to
access the administration server (if you forgot your password or the
admin port number or if you accidentally locked your own site out),
then here is how to get past each of these levels of protection:

<OL>
<LI> If you don't remember what port your administration server is
running on, just look in your "ns-admin.conf" file, which is in
the "admserv" directory under your Netscape server directory.
(For 1.x web servers on Windows NT, run "regedt32" and go to the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Administration" section).
You will see a "Port" entry there that specifies what port your
admin server is on. You can change this value if you want your
admin server to run on a different port, but make sure you restart
the admin server after you change the value.

<LI> If your admin server is complaining "Unauthorized host" when you
try to connect to it, then you can open it up to all sites by
going into the "ns-admin.conf" file or the "Administration"
section of your NT registry, as described above, and deleting the
lines for "Hosts" and "Addresses" (either one of those might not
be present) then restarting your admin server (on Unix run
"stop-admin" then "start-admin"; on NT go into the Services
control panel and stop/start the "Netscape Administration" or
"Netscape Admin Server" service). You will then be able to get
back into the admin server, where you can then try new settings
for your host and address restrictions if you wish.

<LI> If you have forgotten the password to your admin server and now
you can't log into your admin pages, all is not lost! Go into
your "ns-home" directory, and into the "admserv" directory under
that. You should find an "admpw" text file containing a simgle
line of text, something like this:
admin:lnOVeixulqkmU
The first part of that line is the name of your admin account
(usually just "admin"), and the second part is your admin
password, encrypted. Edit this file to remove the encrypted
password so that your file looks like this:
admin:
Then shut down your admin server, bring it back up again, and log
into your admin server but don't give any password. It should let
you in, at which point you can then go to the appropriate
configuration page to set a new admin password, and then you're
back in business.
</OL>
Note that because it is so easy to change the admin password this
way, it's good to periodically make certain that your admin
password file and your web server's configuration files are not
left world-writable, and that only trusted people have access to
them. (By default they're not world-writable, but it's good to
make sure of this from time to time.)

If you mean that yu forgo the password for yur encrypted backup then you can only:
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.
