IOS5 on iPhone 3GS - 'over capacity' unknown used space & can't sync music.

I just downloaded the new iOS5 for my iPhone 3GS, and ever since I got it, I can't sync my music as it says that it is 'over capacity', even though I had over 6GB of free space left before the upgrade.
I also found out that I have 9.9GB of 'other' in which I didn't have before iOS5 upgrade.
I just want to get rid of the 'other' category & sync my music on my iPhone -- HELP!!!

Similar issues as in you don't got your music back on the phone? That's not the same problem or anything "similar" to this problem i must say!
Your problem is simple, you always need to resync the music from your current computer when you upgrade to a new iOS version, most people don't see this as a problem as they simply drag and drop their files to the iphone(or itunes library) or sync from their library if the music already exist in there.
So for you, just find the music on your computer and drag and drop them to your phone if you have selected to handle music/videos manually in itunes when you click your iphone on the summary "page".

  • Manually added tracks put my iPhone over capacity. Now I can't sync. Help!

    I have a number of Audiobook I tried to sync to my phone.  I could not find anywhere in the iPhone settings to choose to sync these (anyone know where?).  So I manually added them by dragging them from iTunes onto the iPhone. 
    However they are very large files and put my iPhone "over capacity".  Now whenever I try to sync I get an error message saying:
    "The iPhone “Mr Shiney” cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items (additional 7.38 GB required)."
    But I can't unselect these files!  They don't appear in the "Manually Added Songs" section of the Music tab.  My phone is stuck in this weird state where I can no longer sync.
    I have tried deleting the songs from iTunes.  But this now just says the songs couldn't be found so I still can't sync.
    Should I restore from backup?  Won't I lose all my app content?  Any ideas what to do?
    My iPhone is a 3G on iOS 4.2.1. iTunes is 10.5.

    Have you touched the "More" button (on the iPhone).
    then gone to Audio Books.
    Are they there?
    I had an audio book still on my iphone, it survivedf the iOS5 update.
    To get rid of it, I plugged iPhone into Mac,
    Go to itunes.
    Click on Iphone in iTunes.
    Go to Books tab,
    Scroll down, there is audio books.
    Choose sync selected audio books,
    And untick the ones I don;t want.
    Dows this work for you?

    Yeah.... only thing in the list that might possibly work is the handsfree kit. As roaminggnome stated, pairing to other phones is not supported.
    When trying to pair to the handsfree device, was the device actually in discoverable mode?

  • Hi frnds, i am using iphone 3gs, i want to know how can i update my iphone to ios 4.3.3

    hi frnds, i am using iphone 3gs, i want to know how can i update my iphone to ios 4.3.3 or any other ios.

    Please note the iPhone 3G can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.
    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • TS3159 Some songs that I've bought on iTunes won't play on my iPhone 3GS even though they used to and they will still play on iTunes.  Anyone know what I can do to get these songs to play on my iPhone again?

    Some songs that I've bought on iTunes won't play on my iPhone 3GS even though they used to and they will still play on iTunes.  Anyone know what I can do to get these songs to play on my iPhone again?  Please help!

    No, I haven't figured it out.  And no one from Apple has contacted me to help.  Very frustrating.  Sure makes me want to not buy music on iTunes and just buy CD's.
    Do you have a 3GS too?  Maybe it's something with that phone??

    That typically indicates a problem with your VBScript. See the following troubleshooting article:
    iTunes and QuickTime for Windows cannot be installed without Visual Basic Script (VBScript)
    (The Vista instructions are down at the bottom of the document.)

  • Why can't I migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore?? (Says incompatible.)

    Why can't I -simply- migrate from an iPhone 3GS to a 4GS using iCloud Backup/Restore??
    (The 4GS says it's incompatible with 3GS iCloud Backups and so it cannot restore them.)
    I've had to use a computer with iTunes, but surely iCloud can be used fior this?

    You need to update your 4 to newer software to restore from icloud back up, until then you will get incompatible message. So steps are - set up your iphone 4 as new. Update. Erase. Restore from cloud backup. If you update does not take long you should be all set within an hour.

    If AMDS is running, you are using a USB port directly on the computer and not a hub, you have disconnected other USB devices except keyboard and mouse, you have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925, You have tried cleaning the connector on the bottom of the phone, you have tried a different cable, you have installed the latest USB drivers for your computer, you have disabled your antivirus and firewall, you are running as an Administrator account and you have tried creating a new user on your computer and connected when logged in as that user then you have exhausted my knowledge. The only other thing to try is a different computer. If it isn't recognized on a different computer you have a hardware problem. Good luck!

  • My MacBook Pro was stolen last night. I need the serial number. It is not showing up on my devices list. My iPads and iPhones are. I have used it to to sync my phones and pads as well having it registered with apple. Any thoughts? Thanks

    SIgn in with your Apple ID, the same one you used to access this support forum.
    Hopefully, you will see a list of all the devices you registered with your Apple ID, including their serial numbers. Let me know how this works out.
    Edit to add: If you enabled "find my imac" on your Pro, you ought to be able to remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory. Click http://www.icloud.com/ sign in with your Apple ID and click the big green "find my iPhone" icon (nevermind the name, it will find all your devices provided they're running Lion or iOS 5).
    Then file a police report and nail the b*****d.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).    (25)
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
    Contact syncing is nothing to do with iCloud back up, the only settings you should be concerned with on the device are at settings > iCloud page.
