I have the "5 gigs" of other data on my I-Phone Summary, if I do a system restore do I lose my In Game Progress on games like Cut the Rope and Angry Birds?

Hey guys,
     I am having the issue where I have 5.5 gigs of "other" data appearing on my Iphone summary, I've seen a bunch of posts where people say you'll need to restore to get that to disappear, my question is when I restore do I lose my progress in games like Cut the Rope and Angry Birds? My girlfriend will kill me if she has to redo all those levels again, if anyone can shed some light on this I would greatly appreciate it,
have a great day,

You can try a restore from a backup first. That should have no affect on your data. It is when you do a restore as a new device that you will lose all of your data, game data, etc.

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • I have a lot of 'other' data on my iPhone 4 summary on iTunes. I looked on the internet it said stuff like you should restore it etc, but i would like to keep all of my data. How do I reduce the amount of 'other' data which is around 3.5 GB

    Hi,
    On my macbook pro, I have connected it with my Iphone 4, on the summary it says that I have 3.5 GB of 'other' data, which is bigger than my photos and music. How do I make this smaller without losing all of my data in a restoration. I do not kno what the difference is between a normal restoration and a restoration form back up. Also i have already tried deleting old messsages and book marks but nothing is working. I searched on the internet and it said something about it being corrupted!!
    Please Help!!!!!!
    Thankyou!!!

    What is the "other" on my iTunes? It says I have have 9.8 gigs of other.

    If it's contasntly growing and gets to be a big number then there's an issue. You should back everything up and restore.

  • I have 4.2 gigs of "other" on my iPhone

    I have 4.2 gigs of "other" on my iPhone (I see it when I sync with iTunes).  What is in the "other" category and how can I reduce it?

    Solution
    My "other" partition was up to 25G !!!! on my iphone 4S and I didn't want to restore my phone as I would loose important SMS and info on it and re-arrnage 1000 apps again.  
    I found this link and followed the steps
    http://www.ipodrepublic.com/iphone/fixing-issue-other-files-iphone-memory/2010/0 3/31/#comment-47142
    Using that program suggested was free too.  I used it straight away after downloading it.  I removed my files in
    "media Folder".  These 3 folders was where I found the solution.
    -  Music  - all the "F" files
    - ApplicationArchives - all the big stuff
    - Recordings - all currupt M4a in there
    Vola!  My phone now has 25GB back!!!!! Other is just 26 killo bytes!  yes Killo bytes! 
    Hope that helps
    Cheers

  • Hi, I have connected my iPhone 5 to iTunes, backed it up and then started the update but there was a problem, now my phone will not work, it asks to restore factory settings which I have tried 3 times, each time it says the device has an unknown error.

    Hi, I have connected my iPhone 5 to iTunes, backed it up and then started the update but there was a problem, now my phone will not work, it asks to restore factory settings which I have tried 3 times, each time it says the device has an unknown error and the phone switches off.  Please help.

    Same thing happened with my iPhone 4S - no one is any help.  Thanks Apple for such a crappy update!  I've called Apple, they say the SIM card needs replacing, I go to my service provider they tell me nothing wrong with the SIM card - provider tells me I now need a new phone.  Sheesh!  If someone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Sports Tracker and Angry Birds?

    Does Sports Tracker and Angry Birds work on the E6? I cant find them in the OviStore. And I can not see the album art cover in musicplayer? Do u think it will work or do I have to wait for the big update?
    Rogmansfones

    1. I am not sure about the Angry birds since there may be resolution issues, but I think sports tracker should be available.
    2. Regarding album art, what was your old phone? You see for Symbian, album art should be embedded within the mp3 file so the transfer from PC to phone is seamless, or else you need to use the phone to reassociate album art.

  • 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.

  • I have 5.22 Gb of other data on my iPhone 5. What is this?

    Hi
    I have a 16GB iphone 5. Currently it shows 5.22 Gb of other data. If I look at the usage stats on the phone it totals about 3gb? How do I get rid of this 'other ' data or is this the OS???
    Cheers

    The "other" data normally includes the iOS, messages, email, and app data, and usually doesn't exceed 1-2 GB unless you have many tens of thousands of messages or lots of photos and videos attached to those messages.
    Over-sized "other" often contains corrupted data or metadata and can be removed by restoring the phone with iTunes, first also restoring a backup but usually requires restoring as new, without restoring a backup (the backup usually contains the corrupted data).
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • N9 and Angry birds

    I know this is trivial. Am I correct that to reach the next level of the game requires a NFC connection with a compatible device. and also will the full version be available on the N9 currently it would appear not.

    I guess it vary from region to region and provider to provider what your N9 is loaded with. Mine was preloaded with Angry birds, but I deleted it as I go tired of the game long time ago.
    If you don't have it on your device, I'm pretty sure you will have to buy the game unless there are some lite version of it for N9 somewhere...
