I have 5.43gb of storage on my iphone taken up by other, what is this and how can i get rid of it?

My iPhone is 16gb and i have no music, 500ish photos, and about 10 apps I had to delete everything off it because i couldn't take any photos because i had no space! How do i get rid of the storage other is taking up?

I would probably suggest backing up them photos to your computer and then performing a restore on the phone which will wipe everything off and start again.
Instructions for restore can be found here:

    \Based on other forum users' posts, it seems like all you need to do is Restore the phone from your latest backup, and that should "refresh" your phone's appraisal of its data storage.

    I have a small icon at the top right of my iphone 4G right to the left of the battery percent. What is this and how do I get rid of it? It looks like a lock with a circle 3/4 of the way around it

    That icon indicates your iPhone is rotation locked.
    To remove it, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center.  Tap the similar looking icon there to turn it off.

    A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.

    Google changed their menu bar. Firefox hasn't used Google for the default homepage since the Firefox 3.6 versions. Firefox 4+ versions use '''about:home'''.<br />

  • I have 3.5 gigs of "other" what is it and how do i get rid of it?

    On my itunes when my iphone is pluged in it says that i have now 3.9 gigs of "other" what is it and how do i get rid of it?

    Other is data that does not fit into the rest of the catergories listed on the summary tab.  This includes user data and app settings/data.
    3.5 GB is a lot... and typically indicates corruption.
    You can try a reset of the device and re-syncing, sometime this will clear it up... but typically the resolution is to restore the device from backup first.  If that doesn't resolve a restore as new will.
    Other should be in the range of 300-800mb.

    iPod Nano 2nd Generation is requesting 4 digit code. I have never set a lock code. What is this and how can I get my Nano running again?

    There is no other way to bypass the combintation lock other than to connect the nano to iTunes and restore it to factory settings, erasing all content and settings from the iPod.

  • I have an unknown shared server in Finder. What is it and how can I get rid of it?

    Hi,
    I just noticed there is a shared server/ network listed in Finder, but I do not recognise it and cannot connect to it.
    Could anybody tell me what it is and how I can remove it?
    Thanks!
    This is what it looks like:

    If you have a networked printer, they sometimes have SD Card slots, USB thumbdrive slots, etc... and the printer offers to be a file server to share the contents of those removable camera storage devices.
    It is possible your home WiFi router can also act as a printer server, or with a USB disk (or thumb drive) attached, a file server.
    You could use a utility such as Bonjour Browser which will give you more information about the devices it sees on your home network

    Can anyone please tell me what this is, and how I get rid of it?
    Many thanks

    HI there
    Thank you for trying to help me. You're going to think I'm really thick, but I can't seem to do a screen shot.
    I pressed the command and the 3 button, plus what I believe is the shift key, Hat is the one on the left hand side, with an arrow on it, which you use for a capital letter yeah?
    But nothing happens.
    Also I can't see what you are reffering to when you say click onto the camera icon? I can't see any such icon.
    Sorry to be so useless.
    I have just noticed that it is obviously connected with the sound. It has a row of boxes undeneath the logo, and as you increase the volume, the boxes fill up from left to right, and the logo flutters at the same time.
    have alogitec amplifier and speaker system connected to it, and have just noticed that the sun logo looks very similar to the Logitec symble/Logo.
    Is that of any help please?

  • HT1338 I keep getting running out of disk space. when I check I have a large amount of stuff on yellow called other what is it and how do I get rid of it ?

    I am getting a full disk message.
    When I check I have a large amount of material described as Other and is coded yellow on the information bar.

    "Other" simply means anything that isn't recognised as music, video, images, software (apps) or a backup. So, PDFs, .doc files, text files, disk images yadda yadda yadda.  All sorts of things.
    If you want to get an idea of what's taking up space on your drive, try GrandPerspective.

  • I have No Music on my iPhone 4S and my "Other" capacity is 6 gigs ... What is that and how can i get rid of it?

    Other is taking up 6 gigs of space

    I'm aware that this isn't the exact error message you're getting, but following the steps in the article may help reduce the "Other" category. Restoring most definitely will.
