I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos. I deleted a .3 GB video and the tried to put it back on. Now it says the memory is full. It seems to not release memory once something is deleted.

You need to restore your iPad now since "other" continues to grow with each sync. Something got corrupted when you were syncing and that is what probably caused this. This will explain how to restore.

You can restore from a backup at the very end of the process - but if you restore from the backup and then the problem does not go away, you will have to restore to factory settings and then add all of your content back onto the device.
BTW ... Other contains all of your app data, bookmarks, contacts, emails, text messages, some game save data and things of that nature.

  • Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

    Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

    What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • How can I prevent the settings on iMessage from changing each time I sync the devices with iTunes on our iMac?

    Each time I sync an apple device (iPad, iPad mini, iPhone) with iTunes on our iMac the settings on iMessage and phone settings change. We use the same Apple ID and have different e-mail addresses and phone numbers; however, each time a device is sync'd on iTunes on our iMac, the iMessage settings and phone settings are changed so that we all each get each other's text messages and phone calls. After the device is sync'd/charged, I have to go into each device (all of them somehow update when only one is sync'ing) and re-set the settings to what we want. How can I prevent settings from being changed each time?

    Okay I've tried safe mode.  Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited.  A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
    I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
    After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due.  This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus.  I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night.  It still had over 50% left on the battery.  The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours.  I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.

  • Each time I sync, the BBC iPlayer springboard shortcut comes back

    A web shortcut on the Springboard, not the iPlayer app.
    Where is the shortcut hiding within iTunes so that it doesn't come back each time I sync?

    OK so we are talking about the Home screen Yes ?( never ever heard anyone refer to it as Springboard )
    You have I assume the iPlayer app icon showing up on the home page screen .Yes
    Do you actually know anything about how the iPhone works because you are not really making sense

  • In Pages how do you automatically update a date in a document each time you open the document?

    That's all I need to know, and also if it isn't possible, I'd like to know that.
    Thanks,

    After one enters the Date/Time in Pages '09, the Edit Date & Time item on the contextual menu provides a checkable Automatically update on open. Every version of Pages v5 lacks this capability, and the auto-update setting will be ignored in a Pages '09 document opened in Pages v5.

  • HELP! My iTunes & iPod don't have option for VIDEO???

    I have a 30gb iPod and the latest version of iTunes 6.03 (something like that). I downloaded a tv show from iTunes so I can try to put it in the ipod... When I plug it in, the Music and Pictures update by itself BUT the VIDEO doesn't update to the ipod at all eventho the box is checked..
    1.)So I go to Edit> Prefferences> Ipod tab. It doesn't give me an option for VIDEO. It only says Music, Podcasts, Photos, Contacts, and Calendars. So I'm stuck right there.
    2.) I tried to Click and Drag to my ipod but it doesn't let me do that either. I can drag it anywhere except to my ipod =(
    3.) I tried to Right Click on the tv show> Get Info> Option>
    (I read that you have to change the Video Kind to anything other than [Tv Shows]. I tried to do that but it doesn't give me that option. I can't select to change it. It's stuck on [Tv Shows])
    4.) I even tried to Restore my ipod 2 times. It's a waste of time.
    I think my main problem is that I don't have the Video option on my iPod or iTunes eventho I restored and updated 2 times. Maybe if I can figure out how to get the Video option on there then I can figure out how to put the videos on my ipod!
    CAN Someone PLEASE HELP ME????

    There isn't a "video" option for iTunes, so you can scratch that from your list of concerns.
    Huh? What's this a picture of?

    and my stuff all plays and transfers just fine.
    And you get it onto the iPod how?

  • How can I remove Podcasts downloaded directly into the I-Phone from the phone and I Tunes, right now every time I sync the two old podcasts keep coming back

    I have downloaded 2 podcasts directly to my iPhone over WIFI, the problem is that I cannot get rid of these two podcasts. Every time I sync with my computer these two old podcasts keep coming back. Is there a way to erase them from the phone?

    I had this issue with my iPhone - drove me nuts. Tried everything.
    It appears to be an issue with a persistent file in the Purchases folder in the iPhone/iPad directory, which I could only access with a file browsing utility (iBrowse). Once installed you can browse to the Purchases folder and delete all the entries.
    Check the box in iTunes to Manually Manage Music and then delete the grey U2 tracks.
    Sync and they'll be gone
    Fixed!

  • 4S - wi-fi will not retain password in memory, I have to input password each time I unlock the phone.

    I have done a "reset" and it didn't help. If I watch the wi-fi screen in "settings" .. I can see that I get the "working icon" every few seconds although it remains connected.  Also, I have lost all the other wi-fi location passwords and have to re-input each time I visit the location.
    worked just fine until last week.  any thoughts?  thanks. charlie

    Thank you! seems to have solved the problem ... now I have to add back all the other PW's for other wi-fi networks I use during the course of the day..
    When I'm on the page Settings>Wi-Fi ,when I'm already connected  every 20-30 seconds I see the "busy" icon show up and quickly go away .. never noticed it before.. but it could be just the way it works .. does yours work the same way??
    again, many thanks for the help.

  • Did iPhone have API for video recording?

    Did iPhone have API to write an application for video recording?. I have read all the document about audio&video that release along with SDK beta5 but can't find anything about video recording, all they said is...
    Audio
    Support for recording, processing, and playing audio files and streams.
    Video
    Support for full-screen display of video files.
    if currently iPhone don't have API for video recording, Did apple will develop it in future release of SDK?
    thank you.

    Here is a link the the apple developer site that might help out.

  • I was being able to watch facebook videos from my ipad, and since i updated my IOS to 7.1.1,i dont know if it has to do with that but now i can no longer see any facebook videos

    I was being able to watch facebook videos from my ipad, and since i updated my IOS to 7.1.1,i dont know if it has to do with that but now i can no longer see any facebook videos

    If you look at the preferences for Flashblock (access from the extensions window of the add-ons manager) and choose Whitelist, you can add a site to that window, and that site will not be blocked by Flashblock at all. You will not even see the Flashblock icon.

  • I have ios 4.2.1 on my iphone4, now i want to udate it to 6.1.3 .is it possible? if yes then how? and i don't want to update on ios 7 or later pleaase help me

    and i don't want to update on ios 7 or later
    pleaase help me

    No you can't.  It is iOS 7 or not at all.  You need to update to the lastest software or not at all, so the choice is yours.  Update to the latest software or not at all.  Stick with what you have.
    Also stop trolling this forum with the same stupid question to which you have had the same answer time and again.

  • 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.

  • Just updated to IOS 7.1.2, now some games and apps don't have sound.  What to do?

    I Updated to iOS 7.1.2 and some of my already installed apps and games don't have sound.  Some apps and games do have sound.  The sound was never adjusted on any of the games.  I tried deleting and reinstalling the ones with no sound and still no sound.  how can I resolve this issue?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
    1. Go to Settings
    2. Tap on General
    3. Tap on Reset
    4. Tap on Reset All Settings
    What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.
