ipad2, ios5.0.1, going into settings/general/Usage always produces a crash. Any ideas?

You're not alone.  I just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.0.1, and when I go to Settings>General>Usage, the spinning "busy" indicator is visible in the "Storage" window for a few seconds, then it crashes and goes back to the home screen.  Must be a bug.  I hope Apple adds this to the fix list for iOS 5.0.2.  QA seems to be slipping at Apple.

  • Settings General Usage -- Crash

    hi folks,
    when i upgraded my iphone 4 to ios5 i noticed that opening settings > general > usage makes the settings app crash after a few seconds of loading. after switching to an iphone 4s and "restoring" the iphone 4 data into the new device, the bug was gone.
    now i made the mistake and opened that usage tab while i was installing software (yes, *** hoc ergo propter hoc, but i don't have any better guess what could have caused it) and the settings app crashed and kept crashing ever since. i tried to deinstall the software i was loading at the time of the first 4s-crash. i tried restarting the iphone. nothing works so far.
    this really annoys me because i'm using that tab a lot to check for data usage. is there anything known on that issue?

    The audiobook is the trouble maker.
    But how do you make it work?
    I had the same problem with a self-ripped audio book (from CD).
    I got one audio book to work, if I add a second one it still crashes,
    but maybe this is a start:
    Here is what I did to make it work:
    Step 1. Convert all the AAC files to "Spoken Content"
    Step 2. Renamed all the ".m4a" files to ".m4b"
    (Finder or in Terminal you use: for FILE in *.m4a;do mv "${FILE}" "${FILE%.m4a}.m4b";done)
    Step 3. Ensure that in iTunes, the Audio Book shows up in the "Book/Audio Books" section, and under "File/Get Info (Apple-I)", "Options", "Media Type" is set to "Audio Book".
    Now it works with one audio book on my iPhone.
    If I add a second with the same method, it still crashes. Any ideas?

    Hello,
    I needed to do a hard reset on my iPhone 3GS and it's taking me too much time. It's taking almost 3 hours by now!!!!
    I did it by going to "Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings", confirm it and then the iPhone turns off, gets the screen black with only the animated circle going on. And it's been there since then.
    Is this a symptom of something bad? Should I do the hard reset by another way?

    Hello Ali Syed,
    It sounds like your phone is stuck at the spinning gear icon on the screen after Erasing all Content and Settings on your device. I would start by resetting the device with this process:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists you may need to put the phone into recovery mode, and then restore it with iTunes as a new device:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    Did you try to go to Settings > Store, tap on Apple ID, Log out and Login again.
    What message do you get when you open the App Store?

    Updating from the ipod itself is a feature of ios 5 or later.
    You would need to update as always.  Turn on computer, open itunes, connect ipod.
    The first gen ipod will only go to 3.1.3

    How do I update my iPad 2 to iOS 5, I tried going to settings,general ,software update but I can't seem to find the software update button pls help :)

    Go to Settings > General > About and see what iOS version you are running.  If it is lower than 5, you won't find the software update button.  It was added when iOS 5 came out.  The current iOS is 5.1.1.  To update to the current OS, you'll need to connect to the computer you sync with (this is important - do not connect to a computer you do not sync with as you will lose you apps) and update the software in iTunes.  Once you have updated to the 5.1.1, the software update button will be in Settings going forward.  Make sure you have a lot of time.  Updating from below 5 to 5 or higher is a somewhat lengthy process.
    This link will provide the guidance you need:

  • Unable to check usage on iPad  (Settings General Usage)

    Hello,
    My iPad mini won't allow me to check how much space I have left but I was notified (forgot how) that there was not much space left.
    I originally thought that it kept crashing because my iPad wasn't updated to the latest version so I downloaded it and it still didn't solve the problem.
    Every time I go to settings > General > usage I instantly crash and go back to the home screen.   I don't really know what other information to give :\ .
    I'm thinking maybe a hard reset would fix the problem but I'm not really sure how to back up everything that's already on my iPad since it's greater than the storage given for iCloud.  (Not really sure how to back up in  general)
    So, if maybe a hard reset it the way to go -- could someone maybe lead me in the direction of how to hard reset and get all my apps back easily?  (Instead of writing everything down and searching them up and downloading later?)
    Thank you :).

    Hi AmishCake,
    Unfortunately, this method didn't work.    My photos and videos take up practically no space as I only have around 15 photos and no videos but I will move them onto the computer.
    Any other suggestions for the usage problem?

  • My iphone has recently loss about 10G of memmory. I check through settings/general/usage, all apps I had add up to less than 2G. I used to be able to take around 2hrs of video and now I can't take any. Can anyone help? Thanks

    My iphone has recently loss about 10G of memmory. I check through settings/general/usage, all apps I had add up to less than 2G. I used to be able to take around 2hrs of video as I like to record down whatever happening in front of my car when I'm driving. I delete the videos everyday ifn nothing special. It seems that lately when I deleted the videos, they're not removed from the phone's memmory.
    I check form setting/general/usage : all my apps add up to less than 2G. In itune, it shows all memmary is under the catagory "other". Is there any way I can access this "other" memmory to see what's in it and delete the things I don't want to regain the loss memmory?
    Thanks

    You could always try restoring, although maybe someone else on here has a better idea.
    Hopefully by posting this, it will bump up and someone with more iPhone troubleshooting experience might chime in.
    As for the videos - interesting! Do you have the iPhone on one of those window holders, or do you hold it in your hand since that might ironically distract you, unless you've gotten very good at it!

  • Settings general usage doesn't see space taken up by videos app.

    settings-space-usage is not displaying space occupied by videos app.
    consequently videos apps keeps eating up space. the only recourse is to backup the ipad and restore it.

    Hi Reshandre,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Is it possible you are not seeing the entire list?  In Settings > General > Usage at the bottom of the list of apps do you see a blue "Show all Apps" link?

  • Settings- General- Usage

    Under Settings->General->Usage, it shows 27.7GB Used.  Adding up the usage for all apps, the total is 7.8GB.  What the discrepancy and is the another method for accurately determining what is using the storage?
    This is an iPad 2 running iOS 7.0.4

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    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 5/6/7, 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.

  • IPad 1 (Settings/General/Usage) = crash

    Little issue when I go to Settings/General/Usage it crashes the settings app.
    It did work but now I have 10gigs worth of apps on it just crashes back to the main screen.
    Anyone else ?

    I made some progress on this. Backed up my iPhone. Then set all sync options to off and synced. Still had the issue! T
    So then did a full reset so nothing was on the phone. Then did a restore from the back up... Key thing is here that during the restore process, when it said starting to sync apps, I hit the X in iTunes to cancel this part. So now I had my iPhone with all contacts, text messages, email, calendar, camera photos, etc. but no music, photo albums or apps. Settings/general/usage works fine. Synced up my music and photo albums and still works! Synced up a few choice apps and still works!
    I noticed that before when it didn't work I had about 0.9gb of "other" data. After this with it working I have about 0.5 in "other" data. I suspect an some app is the culprit here and even after deleting it from the phone it's leaving some "other" data that the usage cant step through and crashes on. Maybe it's something like Dropbox as that allowed storage of documents as favourites on the phone, but who knows.
    Anyway, don't know what the iPad is like as I don't have one. This worked for me. Hope it helps somewhat!

  • Time Machine will not let me restore from backups after June, 2013.  I can see the files on the external hard drive but Time Machine skips all of them and goes back to June, 2013. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?

    And why not? Apple is selling these things like BigMacs. They can't make enough of them. You've been suffering since May because you refuse to get a decent router.
    Can you imagine if a company that makes a refrigerator told me that I needed to upgrade my electrical system to rectify a problem with their device? What kind of response IS that?!?!
    What if the problem with their device is that it requires a new-fangled "grounded" outlet and your circa 1890 house doesn't have grounded outlets. Would you refuse to purchase a $ 25 adapter on principle?

    Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    If that didn't fix things, do a restore:
