I have an iPhone 4 8gb and I have about 6gb other that is taking up space but I dont know what it is. What do I do?

I only have 300 pictures and 2 videos, only 50 songs, I always clear my data and cookies, and history on safari, and I always delete my texting and imessaging conversations, and I clear my calling history. I also redownloaded all my apps BUT I still have 6GB "other" that is taking up space and I don't know what it is and what to do to get more memory space since I only have an 8GB phone. Also I updated my phone to, I think verison iOS 6.0.1, about 4 or 5 months ago, and I think that's when I started getting so much of my memory taking up by "other". There is another software update iOS 6.1.3 but if I were to update would that take even more room? Or is that the solution? Because I can't really do much on ly phone because I don't have enough memory space. Please help me get more memory space on my phone. And hopefully someone knows what went wrong, what's taking up 6GB of memory space, and how to fix it. Help me! Thnx

  • I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly. Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again. Is there any solution?

    Hey, There are afew things you can try.
    - Simply turn your phone off and back on again
    - Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
    - Close all open applications
    Hope this helps!

    Have you tried signing out of your iTunes & App Store on your device and then back in again - Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on Apple ID, then on Sign Out. Then sign in again and see if it accepts the password.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue,  try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the Slide to Unlock screen will display. See if the problem is resolved.

  • I have an iPhone 5S and I can't open photos that are emailed to me. It just says zip archive when I click on the jpg. Help?

    I Have an iPhone 5S and I can't open photos that emailed to me. It just says Zip archive when I click on the JPG file to download it.  Help?

    whoever is emailing you the photos is sending them as a .zip file not a .jpg most likely because there is more than one photo. unfortunately iPhone does not have a .zip file reader so whoever is emailing the photos has to make sure they are not zip ing them and resend them as .jpg files. (usually gmail tries to convert several images into .zip files)

  • I have an iphone 4 and i have upgraded to ios 5. but after upgrading all my apps disappeared and in the summary tab in itunes it jus shows as other data..! please help

    i have an iphone 4 and i have upgraded to ios 5. but after upgrading all my apps disappeared and in the summary tab in itunes it jus shows as other data..! please help

    When I went to reload my phone it gave the option of restoring with icloud or itunes so i chose itunes (assuming icloud would have many more bugs). Afterwards, I had no music and 6.6g of other.
    What I did was go into itunes, clicked my iphone 4, and clicked on each of the top tabs (summery, info, apps, ringtones, music, etc.) and ensured I had them all clicked onto sync/selected playlist etc.As my phone restored, the 6.6g of other dropped to .99g of other.
    Unfortunately, all my songs are gone but everything else seems to be in tact. I don't think there is any way around this issue for now with the new ios 5 update when syncing either an ipad or iphone. I have an ipad 2 but am going to hold off on updating it until apple gets the bugs sorted out because, I'm sure you will agree, getting the music back to where you want it to be is a total nightmare and takes ages to not only pick the right songs and artists to put on it, but also the ones that will fit correctly with the space, depending on the size you have. 
    I hope that helps.

  • I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. I have lost my progress bar and song repeat function, how can I get them back?

    I have an iphone 4 and I have just upgraded to iOS 5. Unlike some people, I have not really had any problems but I am really annoyed with the new music feature. I have lost my progress bar abd song repeat function. Does anyone know how I can get them back?

    Glad to hear it all works for you.
    For future reference, if your iPhone misbehaves, always try a Reset. It's painless and often solves the problem.
       Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
    Enjoy.

  • HT4061 hello im fation mashi im from albania i have a iphone 3 and i want to update it with ios 4.3.3 but i have fear because maybe can block the apple if i update it can you please help me ?

    hello im fation mashi im from albania i have a iphone 3 and i want to update it with ios 4.3.3 but i have fear because maybe can block the apple if i update it can you please help me ?

    Since an iPhone 3G cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1...the end of the line for that model iPhone...you can't do what you want, so there's nothing to be fearful of.

  • I have the iPhone 5 and already have it set up, however im trying to put CDs on it from my computer and itunes is trying to get me to set it up from scratch. How do I get round this?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • ICloud got deleted off my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to get it back? I have an iphone now and actually have a use for it.

    iCloud got deleted off my MacBook Pro. Is there any way to get it back? I have an iphone now and actually have a use for it.

    Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? (It it isn't please amend it to prevent confusion).
    Assuming Snow Leopard, iCloud has not been deleted - it was never there. The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    You can set Snow Leopard up to access the email on an existing iCloud account which has been set up on a compliant device, and you may be able to sync iCal using an unsupported (and possibly unreliable) hack, but no other facilities will work. You cannot open an iCloud account on Snow Leopard.
    This page outlines the limited use you can make of an existing iCloud account with Snow Leopard:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudSL.html
    To make full use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • I have the iPhone 4 and I have tried to upgrade to iOS 7 and it didn't work, can someone please help?

    I have the iphone 4 and I have tried to upgrade to iOS 7 and it says that the software upgrade is unavailable at this time. But it says that the Apple Inc. is downloaded. Can someone please tell me why this is so?

    Well, yes.  With millions and millions of users trying to download, the Apple servers are under stress.  Wait until tomorrow.

  • I have an iPhone 5 and with any pair of earphones that I plug in the sounds comes out of the speakers and not the earphones

    I have an iPhone 5 and with any pair of earphones that I plug in the sounds comes out of the speakers and not the earphones
    The problem occurred a few days after I had updated to iOS 7.02

    Hey Tahls23!
    I have an article that can help you troubleshoot that issue:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    No sound through stereo headset
    Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
    Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
    Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
    If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
    Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
    Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
    Try a different song or video.
    Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
    Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • HT1212 i have a iphone 4 and i have forgtten my passcode but i do not have acess too itunes is there a way i can do a hard rest manually !

    i have a iphone 4 and i have forgtten my passcode but i do not have acess too itunes is there a way i can do a hard rest manually ??

    The only thing you can do when you have forgotten the passcode is to restore the device as a new phone. A restore requires a computer and iTunes. If you have the computer you normally sync with, you could restore from a backup and not lose any content, however if you don't have that computer, you will lose all content with a restore. If you don't have that computer, you can restore with any computer that has iTunes.

    This is from article on device with multiple computers:
    iPod shuffle and iPhone are intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle and iPhone like you can with other devices.
