You will Not be able to get rid of it entirely...
Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup...
But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup...
Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

When it's plugged in to itunes it keeps saying it needs to be restored, so i restore it but the same thing happens. It just never restores. Any hints/advice
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I installed itunes on a new laptop, with Windows 8, and synced my ipad. Now my music library has only those few songs I had synced to the ipad, or roughly a quarter of my original library. My ipods (all three) still have the full library, but everytime I try to sync them, I am asked if I want to delete all of the contents and replace with the (much smaller) itunes library. Of course I don't, but how do I "reverse sync" and replace all the music contents of my library with the contents from one of my ipods?

I just restored my iPhone from a backup, and 17 apps couldn't be restored because "the app could not be found." But they're sitting right there in iTunes under Apps. What's up with that?

I just restored my iphone 5s, now I am trying to reactivate using my apple ID and password. It says the apple ID cannot but used to activate it, what do I do?!
Yeah, i tried to sign in with anything i would have possibly registered it with. Thats why i was wondering if there was any way i could maybe delete that one and just sign in with a new one, or find out what Apple ID i used....

i had recently followed orders to restore my iPhone 3gs (iOS 6.1) from a question on apple support. However it was working fine before that, it's just that my phone didn't have signal. So it said to restore my iPhone and now it says that the Activation server is temporarily unavailable and when i plugged it into my mac, it said that i ddn't have a sim card installed. What can I do to fix this besides bring it to the store? it also bugs me because this answer was supposed to work but it just messed my phone up even more. This has already happened once and i had to take it to the store. What should I do to fix this? Thank you so much for all answers. i really appreciate.
no so i dont know what happened

Help, I have just restored my iphone from last back up to retrieve vital messages that somehow disappeared. Now I have lost the most recent messages, calendar details and photos. How do I get them back?
I have an iPhone 5SYou restore from the backup that contained them.
Restoring from a backup is all or nothing. It completely overwrites the data in the phone when you restore. You can not combine the contents of a backup with what's currently on your phone. -
Ive just restored my iphone but it wont let me activate it now, either by wi-fi or through itunes. what do i do?
I just bought the phone off ebay and it was working fine before I tried to update it. This is when the problems started. Firstly, it wouldnt update because it said there was something wrong with the iphone, so i chose to restore it as there was nothing on the phone anyways. After I restored it, its saying there is no sim inserted and it wont let me activate it. I really need help with this.Try again now. I had the same issue this morning with my phone. After a restore it said it could not activate and to try again later.
If you try again and it doesn't work, click the home button and edit your WiFi settings. Forget all networks and start the activation again.
Instead of entering any WiFi details this time, scroll to the bottom and click "Connect to iTunes".
This is what I did and it activated for me.
**EDIT** Sorry, I missed the part about the missing sim. Mine did not say that. It just said "your phone could not be activated at this time. try again later" -
just restored my iphone to be like my ipod and I lost all my photos and videos..is there any way to get them back?
You restored your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch?
If so, photos/videos that were in your iPhone's Camera Roll should have been imported by your computer before doing this. You could then transfer these photos/videos back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process. -

"Using modified software can make your device useless:"
Are you serious ? , don't play with me . The device is actually useless right now because of that annoying sim activation process. It's asking me for something I could not do, and there's no button/option to just skip the process. So if there's no option for me, of course I am gonna use modified software, I have no option. The developers did not put a skip button, so I have to use software developed from unknow people that apparently wants to help people suffering with these bad developed things. -

is the a way to restore my iPhone 5 when it is no longer activated since i erased all content and data it keeps giving me this window that says my simcard is not recognizable does anyone know what to do?
Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

Just restored my iPhone 5 from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop? We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings. I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.
Hi Big Slick,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
Phone calls
With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Cheers,
Joe
