HT5654 What is the "other" section in my cellular usage and how do I get rid of it? It is taking almost 75% of my usage space.

It is taking almost 75% of my usage space and I have no idea what it entails and how to get rid of it. I deleted almost all of my pictures and apps, emails, and emptied my safari cache and browsing history.

"Other" is typically less than a GB.
More generally indicates a corrupt file(s).
A restore should resolve.

  • My welcome screen used to have just my name and an icon.  Now it has my name on one side and guest user on the other. where did it come from and how do I get rid of it?

    Either you enabled the guest user, or you enabled Find My Mac, which requires there to be an active guest account for a thief to log into, so that they'll connect to the internet and allow you to locate it.

    Again what is the "other" storage on my iphone 4 and how to i delete it?

    There will always be some other - favorites, history, voicemail and other items.
    Much more than a GB or so indicates corrupt files.  A restore should resolve.

  • Where did the iPhoto 10 iCloud Photostream come from and how do I get rid of it?

    I just updated my MacBook Air to mavericks.  I have an iPad and iphone as well just updated to ios7.  My Mac updated iPhoto as well.  Now when I opened iPhoto I got my flickr and Facebook integrated folders in the left pane plus an iCloud photostream.
    I didn't have that before and it has 287 pictures pulled from many devices but I didn't set that up.  I only had/have a private photostream with a particular name and about 10 pics in it.  this new one is just called iCloud photostream and it has 287 pics of which some I know I took with my iPad and others with my iphone.  I of course sync both devices with my Mac so this pics are in my iPhoto library as well.

  • I have a thin horizontal line running across my screen about 1/4 of the way from the bottom of the monitor. Why is it there and how do I get rid of it?

    There is a thin horizontal line running across the width of my screen about 1/4 of the way from the bottom. This line, along with an occasional vertical line about a 1/3 of the way from the right side of my monitor, started appearing about 7 days ago. Usually the line would disappear after a restart but now it seems intent on staying. Does anyone know what is going on and how can I resolve this?

  • When i preview the page in the browser why is there grey padding and how do i get rid of it?

    Why doesnt the image go from edge to edge? Sorry if stupid question i am new to muse.
    Thank you.

    laity -  If you want the image to fill the space around the page content, set the Browser Fill to an image and set Fitting to Stretch to Fill. If you just want an image to span the width, create a 100% width rectangle and set its fill to an image in the same way. You can also set an image frame to be 100%.

  • What is the other section on iTunes!!!?

    I updated my iPod touch 64g 3rd generation to the new system.  I recently had about 18 gigs free, but with the new system I have .98 free space and 21gigs in the other section so now all of my pics won't sync to my iPod!  What in the world is the problem and what is the other section and why is it so full all of a sudden!?

    Many files got corrupted during the update process and are in the "other" category. To recover, you need to restore your iPod.  First try restoring from backup. If not successful (since the corruption is in the backup), you need to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • What's the 'other' part in my storage and how do I get rid of it?

    A big part of the storage of my iPod Touch 4th Generation is occupied with 'other', it's about 7 GB. What is this and how do I get rid of it?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Ok, What is all this "other" taking up space on my iphone and how do I get rid of it? It's taking up almost half the space on my phone.

    Ok, What is all this "other" taking up space on my iphone and how do I get rid of it? It's taking up almost half the space on my phone.

    "Other" includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, app data, Safari cache, cookies and bookmarks, stored passwords, search index, home screen organization, wi-fi network data, etc.  It should normally be about 1 GB.  Yours in an indication there may be corrupt data on your phone.
    Unfortunately the best solution to fix your issue is a restore. Back up your phone, then restore it using iTunes.  Follow this guide:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.

  • My iPhone 4 says it has 15 GB of "Other" in the storage bar in iTunes. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    My iPhone 4 says it has 15 GB of "Other" in the storage bar in iTunes. What is it and how do I get rid of it?

    In my case, this must be me. My iPhone has a bug - it's not any of the other things that are considered "other". It's just an issue. I've researched for over an hour, reduced every settings imagineable (Other doesn't go down - in fact, it goes up, almost like, because I freed up space, it wants to fill in the remaining space). I called Apple - after one hour of being inadvertently hung up on twice (they took my number to call me back in case disconnected and never did - amazing) and then talking to another 3 reps, they just "guessed" which I find offensive to my time - just say "I don't know but if you are willing to take a chance, here's a thought..." rather than not be able to say "I don't know".  Warning: Resets DO NOT solve this problem unless you do a clean wipe out and start from scratch (w/o restoring your stuff).  Two hours later, I've resolved to wipe out my phone.

  • When syncing my iPad mini I notice "Other" in the status bar. What is that and how do I get rid of it?

    When syncing my iPad Mini I notice "other" in the status bar.  It is taking over 4gb of space. What is "Other" and how do I get rid of it.

    Lock symbol is rotation lock : depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can lock rotation either by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
