HT4993 How do I reduce the "other" space on my iphone???

My phone is only 4 months old and has nearly 3 Gigs of "other" space being taken up on my phone. I have tried a few things and nothing works. I dont use the phone as in depth as my step son uses his and his is not even nearly as contaminated by this space. Please help me regain some of this space back!

This indicates corrupt files.
A restore should resolve.

How to remove/reduce the default space between two sections on the dashboards?

if you make a modification of the Dashboardlayout in the file PortalContent.css like
.SectionTable {
margin-bottom: 2px;
width: 100%;
border-width: 1px;
border-style: none;
border-color: #CECECE;
There will be no more borders. However the gap exists but the look of the 2-section report might look better.
There is an ER raised at the Oracle Support.

TS3989 Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

Only some of the photos I have taken on my iPhone appear in the photo stream on my iPad even thou they were taken at the same time. Why is this and how can I import the other photos from my iPhone to my iPad?

If older photos are missing it may be because photo stream photos are only held in iCloud for 30 days. After that they are removed from iCloud but will remain (up to 1000 photos) on your device until deleted. Also, only photos taken after enabling photo stream are added to your photo stream, and only when the camera is closed, your device is connected to wifi and you have at least 20% battery life remaining.
To transfer the missing photos you can either create a shared photo stream containing them and invite yourself to it (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99), import the photos to your computer and sync them to your iPad, or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your iPad over wifi.

How do I reduce the maximum volume on an iPhone app?

My sons love watching movies on Netflix and while I don't mind, my youngest tends to push the volume up to the highest volume.
Is there a way to reduce the maximum volume on an iPhone? You can reduce the maximum volume on the music under Settings -> Music -> Volume limit but that doesn't affect apps in any way.

If the app doesn't include a volume setting for the app, the volume for the app depends on the iPhone volume setting at the time.

How do I reclaim the "Other" space on a iMac?

I delete files regulary and the "Other" section is still taking up 359gb

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How do I reduce the "other" capacity in my iTunes?

In my iTunes, where it shows what is taking up space, the "other" bar is taking up the most space. How do I change that? I am not able to download any new software or apps until I have more storage.

Mine's always been my email.
Try deleting your sent log and any unnecessary emails in your inbox.
Don't forget to them delete them from the trash.

How can I reduce the amount of storage my iPhone uses for messages?

Is there any way to reduce the amount of storage space my iPhone uses for Messages? Can I limit the storage to the last year or some other limit (specific date, specific amount of storage etc.)?
Thank you

I'm not sure there is a solution to your question, other than to not keep so many photos on your devices. If you delete a photo from photo stream, it will delete it from all your devices. To keep them, first save them to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. However, given the number of photos you have, a much more practical solution would be to transfer them to your computer using an app like PhotoSync, which will select them all at once and transfer them over wifi.
I'm not sure why you're seeing such a discrepancy in the amount of space taken up by your photos. It's possible that something is corrupt given the large number of photos on your device.

How do I extend the storage space on my iphone?

Hi Guys
I want to extend the storage space across my idevices since my wife can't stop taking photos of our new addition to the family on her iphone.
We already both use iTunes Match so there is music on our phones it's all streamed off the cloud which works well I can recommend this.
The problem now comes from the fact we now need extra storage space for photos and videos taken on ios. Photo stream does a good job of syncing photos across devices but not video. It would be nice if iCloud did this but found that it fell short of the mark on anything but backing up my iphone since the things it stores in the cloud seem limited.
Dropbox seems like a good alternative to this since it will work on all devices but may require management on a separate computer and am not sure if it will work with streaming video I guess I can give it a go and see.
Has anybody got a good experience with photo / video streaming across idevices that they can share?
Regards
Chris

Hi
Thanks for your response.
Buying a bigger iphone was just too obvious an answer.
We already have the backup to mac in place it just means that to view pics that you need to turn on the big machine.
I would rather have them available to view via a cloud service of some kind.
Anyone have any experiences to add?
Regards
Chris

How do I delete the "other" memory from my Iphone 4?

Most of the memory on my phone is taken by music, but the "other" memory is getting annoying. It takes up 1.34GB and i want to delete it. can anyone help me?

Same issue with my iPhone 4. I deleted everything (apps.songs, pics, video) anything you can think of..... I call apple and they recommended a restore so I did and what happen?.... I still see those "other" spaces taking a big chunk of memory. So I made an appointment with the Genius Bar & most likely they will replace my phone .... Blah !!

TS1503 How do I clear the 'other data' on my iPhone 4S? It is using 25% of the available memory. I do not want to have to wipe it and then reset every thing I use. That's why I have restore. Except restore puts the other data back on the phone.

I've come to the conclusion that Apple is no better than Microsoft. There was a functional iTunes. I could sync music, playlists, etc; across my iPad and iPhone. I can't now. It now eats up storage on my devices with 'other data', and Apple is silent on what is going on. I currently have 2 iMacs, 2 iPads, a Macbook Pro, and an AirBook Pro. I will stop purchasing Apple products. It is a royal pain to fix anything. This support page tries my patience to use. I used to enjoy working with Apple products, simply because they functioned and where intuitive to use. No more. Music is impossible to sync across platforms using the same account. Songs only, no playlists. This is step back to the early year of systems. No common data formats, zero portablity, and labor intensive.
Way to go Apple, you've destroyed your reputation!

Similar issue -- this is the third time in as many months that I've had to restore my iPad. It's a iPad Mini w/ 32GB (ME277LL/A), running the latest iOS8.1.2. The "other" data starts off about 1GB and will bob around that. I was careful about games this time, seeing only a slight rise in the data. Once it started to rise, I deleted all of the game and the data on Game Center. No joy -- the data stays about the same.
Then I noticed it was really climbing -- shooting up to about 10GB and sitting there, no matter what I did: sync it: nothing. Deleting music (on the off chance it was album art or some such: nothing. Deleted all the books in iBooks: no effect -- still 10GB. Cleared the iCloud storage, cleared caches repeatedly: nothing. Reset everything: no effect. Only Restoring the iPad -- which takes forever and is a gigantic pain in the @$$ -- gets it down. This is exactly the same thing that happened the other two times -- I lose about 10GB to "other."
I now suspect, thinking on what I was doing with the device, that pulling movies from iTunes seems to be the culprit. Deleting the movies might take the movie "off the iPad", but there seems to be a corresponding jump in Other. My guess is there's some glitch dumping the information elsewhere.
It makes a 32GB iPad pretty frickin' close to useless in a remarkable amount of time. I've not had this issue until this iPad (bought last summer) with the iOS8 upgrade. I don't see this happen on the iPhone 5S with the same OS...that's why I dialed down to iTunes (when is it not smack in the middle of issues?) and Video as the culprit; I don't watch movies on the phone.
I've noticed a massive amount of posts in support and around the web on this matter...it might be time for Apple to shift it and do something about the matter. If I'm going to be restricted to surfing the web, email, and little else thanks to the Other issue, it really doesn't make sense to stick with this device. I can doo all that on my laptop, can't it?

HT4528 what is the 'other' space on my iPhone 4s?

When on iTunes, at the bottom of the screen on the computer it tells how much space is being taken up by what. For example, my audio is taking up6.2gb, photos 1.64, apps 1.98, but my other is taking up 2.58 and keeps increasing. What can I do to get it down and stay down?
