I can't put my music back: no space dur to other files

Hi, has anyone had the same problem after updating an Ipad Mini (no retina): I can't get all my music back in the iPad due to numerous GB of "other files" I can't find anywhere to delete...
If that happened to you and you have a solution, thanks in advance!

Hello there, ptorrealbag.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some practical steps for reducing instances of "other" and not enough free space:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

  • After the iOS8 update I can't put my music back on my phone

    So I updated my iPhone 5s to iOS8, but I was short of storage so I erased all the music from my phone since I have it backed up on my Mac.
    Now, when I connect my phone to the Mac it won't synchronize the music from the computer to my phone. Also, according to my computer, the music is still in my phone, which it isn't.
    This is what it says on my phone:
    (Translation: "No material, you can download music from the iTunes Store").
    And this is what it says on my Mac ^
    So basically my computer thinks all the music is still on my phone and it won't synchronize to my phone.
    All help is appreciated! Thanks!

    I have a similar problem after updating my iPhone 5s to IOS 8.
    Every time I try to sync the result on my iPhone  is different with regard to the "effective" music found on the iPhone.
    Also the memory amount of "Other apps" is considerable!
    I got some success with disabling WiFi and phone (airplane mode) and synching afterwards. The synching is sloooow....however
    It gives the selected music in the menu. But the amount of "Other" apps (yellow) is still amazing!!
    I never got such a bad result after synching ( since iPhone 3s, 4 years ago...)
    Apple, your Quality System doesn't work!!

  • HT1386 Can I put my music from my ipod onto my other computor?

    I have downloaded a lot of music from my home computor itunes to my ipod that I would like to put into my itunes in my studio computor but cannot find any info to see if this is possible. When I tried, I got the warning that if I sync with my itunes studio computor, everything would be erased from my ipod and the songs in my itunes studio computor would replace it. I don't care if the itunes studio computor is erased; I just want my ipod music put onto itunes on the studio computor.

    For iTunes purchased music:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    You can also Google to find others.

  • How can I put my music from iTunes Gallery into my iPod?

    I had another iPod which broke, so I exchanged it for another one. On the previous iPod, I had purchased music which were stored on my iTunes gallery. Now, I can't put the music back into my newer iPod. Helpp?

    Unfortunately, when I plug it in and press sync, it only syncs the music I bought from the new iPod. Also, I did check the button that says 'Entire music Gallery'.

    my computer crashed and all my music is gone. Can i put the music from iPhone back on the computer?

    Yes you can. There are few ways to do this, assuming that itunes with your library doesn't work anymore.
    You can try with a freeware software for Windows named
    iPhone PC Suite
    Another way is to install on your iPhone an app that shares your music. I have one, it's called SongExporter.

  • I downloded music using a different apple id on my ipad then i changed my id to match my iphone but it isnt showing my music i bought with my other id on icloud. how can i get my music back!?

    i downloded music using a different apple id on my ipad then i changed my id on my ipad to match my iphone but it isnt showing my music i bought with my old ipad apple id on icloud. how can i get my music back!?

    It won't show on iCloud because iCloud is associated with a specific Apple ID.  The music should be on your computer's iTunes and a Sync will put it on the iPad (be sure to configure iTunes properly).  If you want to get it from iCloud, I think that you need to temporarily change your ID back to the old one but I've never done that myself.

    Buy the songs that your friend put on the iPod that you liked. They had no right to give you the copyrighted music when they sold you the device.

    If your music is all purchased from iTunes, you can log back in with the same Apple ID, authorize the computer and get your past purchases back. If not, then see this document put together by another user. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • I deleted my music through the "manage storage" section in the options to make room for the ios update awhile back. Now I can't get any music back onto my device through itunes. (I've tried restoring the device twice to no avail)

    I deleted my music through the "manage storage" section in the options to make room for the ios update awhile back. Now I can't get any music back onto my device through itunes. (I've tried restoring the device twice to no avail)

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

    Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.
