I hardly have any apps or photos but phone says I only have 1gb available

i went to manage my storage under settings and it says I have 1gb available and 11 gigs used. I added up the size of my apps in the manage storage and have probably under 2 gigs. Why is this? I don't use backup or iCloud. I have no idea why this is the case. i have an iPhone 6 with 16 gigs and the latest iOS 8.1.3
i have no photos, music and I don't use iCloud or backup my phone on a regular basis.

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?

HT202152 I have tried updating my apps and software but it says my startup disk or hard disk is full. I deleted a lot of files and apps but they won't be erased from the trash. Please help

I have tried updating my apps and software but it says my startup disk or hard disk is full. I deleted a lot of files and apps but they won't be erased from the trash. Please help.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the 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
In Photos:
File ▹ Show Recently Deleted ▹ Delete All
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—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. 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 a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a 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.
Install the app 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.
For ODS:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
For GP:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
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 and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password.
The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show 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.

Hi I Havent Buy Any App From Itunes But They have Charge me Rs 50 4 Times

You've checked the purchase history on your account by logging into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option - that should include a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it which you can click on to see a list of your purchases.
If nothing shows there and you haven't added or changed your credit card details (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days, though I believe that it's Rs 60, not 50) then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Are there any apps like outlook but for the ipads?

are there any apps like outlook but for the ipads?
I want to manage my calendars appointments outlook is perfect but is it compatable for ipad

Yes Outlook is Compatible for iPAD, but you have to buy it as an additional APP. However you can download something called "iCloud Control Panel" for Windows Machine & Install it. This would integrate all your Windows Calendar in Outlook to iCloud.
Then enable iCloud in your iPad. All your contacts & calendars would sync automatically to your outlook on the windows machine. You can actuallu configure "Mail" app in the iPad to your exchange server.

I want to email a photo, but iPhoto says it doesn't recognize my email/password combination.
What do I do?

in the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete your e-mail account and reenter it
OR
IMHO the better solution is to set Apple mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences

How can I obtain the Pages app which I previously purchased from the App store for Snow Leopard? The only download now available is for Mountain Lion which my computer can't run. Thanks

Try Amazon but look for the iWork suite of software. It's only sold separately as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers from the App Store.

How do I get more memory so I can upgrade to Mavericks OS? It is telling me I need 2GB and I only have 1GB available.

You need to buy and install more RAM. Use a source such as OWC or Crucial.

HT201210 ios 7 has downloaded to my phone but keeps saying software update is not available at this time . Try again later . What am I doing wrong ??

ios 7 has downloaded to my iphone 4s but keeps saying " software update is not available at this time . Try again later . what am i doing wrong ??

You should try again later, the servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.

HT2693 Does anybody know what to do when you purchased a app from iTunes but some how enough funds were not available although I have 4 back up sources for payments. Which has left me with a balance to iTunes for 4.98.

I can't get any updates for my apps. I can't connect apps to Facebook and I can't even play some game they won't load all because iTunes must have been trying to take funds for a purchase. Although it doesn't tell me what purchase. Just that I owe them 4.98. I've written to them ten times and can't get them to understand this simple fix.."take your money". I even went as far as making a call to Apple which is no longer covered under my terms. 35.00 for a phone call. Only to find out it iTunes holding up everything with both my iPhone 4Gs and my iPad 2.
iTunes is telling me all this crap but not taking the money. I'm pretty clear as to what the problem is. But for some reason they just can't understand me.
So, how do you send iTunes 4.98 to clear your account? You can't.....I can't even purchase anything until they take the stupid money and hold off my account. But I'm getting no where with any of the people at iTunes. It sure seems simple to me but I guess it's not for them.
Anybody know what I can do????
Thank you,

The iPad 1 can be updated to iOS 5.1.1. You can see what level you are running in Settings > General > About > Version.
If you are not at iOS 5.1.1 and if you are have iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).
See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
If you are on level 5 but not at 5.1.1 you can update to 5.1.1 using Settings > General > Software Update.
There are still many Apps which will run on iOS 5. Also, some developers have older levels still available for the iPad 1.
