In the summary section in iTunes, what is "other" on my iPhone 5 ?

Using iTunes, In the summary section as I review the contents of my iPhone, there is an "other" category and it is taking up over 11GB of memory in my iPhone. What is in this category? Do I need it? If not, how do I reduce or remove it?

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?

Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.

How can I add information to the Summary section of my Movies on the iPad?

My iTunes movie's populate the summary section that appears to the left of the Movies cover art when you select it. It usually has a movie summary and directors and actors. I have been trying to add my own summaries for my movies ion there but no luck. The best I have been able to do is put in limited text in the video tab under description.
Is there a way to add more information in the summary section?

Google "MetaX". It is software that does exactly what you want to do. /or see my link below.

How do I find the summary page on ITunes. Have new Windows 8 and have to change to manually manage music

I have downloaded audiobooks from the library using Overdrive for years. I have a new computer with Windows 8 and now it's been difficult. I have a book ready to transfer to ITunes to download to my Ipod but in order to transfer it a message came up saying go to the summary page in ITunes and check Manually Mange Music. I can't find the summary page anywhere on itUNES

The Summary screen is what you see in the main part of the iTunes window, when you select the iPod in iTunes.
To select the iPod in iTunes when the iTunes sidebar is NOT visible, there is a "device button" near the upper right corner of the iTunes window. If your iPod is the only connected device, it should say "iPod." Click it to select your iPod in iTunes.
If the iTunes sidebar IS visible (along left side of window), the iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Click it there to select it.
When the iPod is selected, there is a row of buttons that starts with Summary. Summary should be the initially displayed screen. That setting (a checkbox) is actually Manually manage music and videos for an iPod touch.

Where is the Summary button in iTunes?

I want to select what I want to upload to my iphone 5. I have the most recent version of ITunes. Can't find anything in it. Don't see the beauty of the "upgrade." For today, I would like to know where the "Summary button" is so I can tell iTunes what to upload to my iPhone...as per instruct ITunes what to upload.

If you select your Iphone from the box you will go straight to the Summary page.
Or View > ShowSidebar and your device will be in the left hand windo. Select it and see your summary page

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.

TS4062 My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.

My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows. I have gone through all steps of the troubleshooting guide. All of our other ios devices are wi-fi sync-ing fine. Can anyone help?
Not sure how long this has been a problem. Kids are young and I manually manage most things but recently having music synced is an issue. All software has been kept up to date.

HT204370 Purchased movies doesn't show in the purchased section of iTunes? Why not? If I want to watch again do I need to repurchase? Thanks!

Hi all, I bought a copy of Leon on my iPad 2. Now that I've watched it I've deleted it, however it doesn't show in the purchased section of iTunes? Why not? If I want to watch again do I need to repurchase? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Redownloading of movies is only available in the US at this time, even then not all movie studios are allowing their content to be redownloaded.

If I am not seeing the summary tab in itunes, how do I find it?

How do I find the summary tab in Itunes?

You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.

HT1386 i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes in my phone is missing when you open the "album" section of itunes installed on my phone. how can i get my album artwork to show up in the album section

i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up

first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

CWB: how to add more summary data in the summary section

HI All,
We need to add more summary data in the summary section. Some summary data need to calculated dynamically like (summary data A /summary data B).
under the worksheet, there is a link:
Personalize Dynamic Columns
But this link allows to create Dynamic Columns for the worksheet, but not for summary setion.
Is any way to add more summary data in the summary section through personalization instead of customization (VO extension)?
Thanks in advanced!
Jane

Whenever I try to enter the "apps" section of Itunes it crashes

Whenever I try to enter the "apps" section of Itunes it crashes. I cant figure out why, but it started after the update.
Tried to restore the phone and reinstall Itunes. Sitting on Windows 8 and an Iphone 4s. Every other page works fine.
I've seen posts about "Store" not working as it should but that is not the problem for me, just the "apps" section of Itunes.
Any kinda help is appreciated.

Should probably add to say that it's when I've connected my phone and using iTunes.

Maybe you have multiple accounts that's why your purchase history is empty. You can try checking for possible Apple IDs that's existing for you or you can ask for assistance from support.

If ATV is unplugged and you are still seeing an image that is not coming from ATV.
If the update failed then you will need to connect ATV to a computer with iTunes via a USB cable and restore the software from iTunes.
