IPhone 3GS Large "Other" Capacity

I have had no trouble with my new iPhone since buying it. But, after tranfering my purchases to iTunes, my "Other" space has increased to 1.16GB. I would like to know how to fix this, I have no backups on the computer, I have one from just after I bought it on another computer. I am using Windows 7, with the latest iTunes and iOS.

I think I solved the problem, I stopped the transfer and It added must of doubled up the apps.

  • Why is my iPhone 3gs at full capacity with "other"

    why is my iPhone 3gs at full capacity with "other"

    One of your apps is storing LOTS of data on it?

  • Why does my Iphone 3gs show "other" taking up almost 40% of my memory?

    My Iphone 3gs shows I have only 400mb of available memory, when I have only about 30 apps, and none are really all that large.  Also, I have no videos nor no music.  It is 8GB.
    Can anyone help?

    Delete the content that is filling it up. Text messages, iMessages, SMS, emails, Safari Cache; essentially all data for all of the built in apps. If that doesn't clear it up, which if it says it's 8GB I don't think it will, then restoring from a backup or restoring to factory default settings will clear that up.

  • Downloading iPhone 3GS photos and Videos to other computers

    I recently got my first iPhone and am still finding out how to do things, so, apologies if this sounds dim but....
    How do I download photos and videos from my iPhone 3GS to other computers?
    I can plug in to my mac and sync everything with iTunes - no problem
    I can plug into a PC and open up the iPhone files and copy across to the PC- no problem
    BUT
    If I plug a mac other than my own it just opens up iTunes. How can I copy a photo onto this mac without syncing the whole thing?
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Rob

    When iTunes opens up, just close it down, because you do not want to sync with any computer other than the computer you normally sync with. Then launch iPhoto & you can then import the photos/videos in your camera roll. Photos/videos synced to your phone cannot be imported to any other computer.

  • Will Apple update iPhone 3GS to allow music uploads to other devices?

    I have read that the iPhone 3GS can only receive music files from iTunes and is not capable of uploading that content to other devices.
    Most computers or integrated car stereo HDD's can receive uploads from other devices that use flash drives or USB cables, so why did Apple not add this feature? Does anyone know if they ever will add that feature?
    P.S. I'm not referring to transferring purchased music either, I am well aware of how to do that, I'm referring to transferring audio files from the iPhone 3GS to other devices via USB/Bluetooth/Apps or some equivalent...

    No one on these user forums can say what Apple will do.

  • Iphone 3GS is frozen

    My iphone's battery died this morning while at work.  I plugged it into the charger when I got home.  When it had enough power to come on, the apple logo came up as well as the "working" gear and it froze there.  I have tried resetting it and restoring it with no luck.  It also keeps making the noise it makes when plugged into the charger (or vibrating if on vibrate) continuously.  Please help!

    if you have taken back up of the iphone before you attempted software update, then yuor photoes are already in itunes as back up. After getting it jailbroken, i synced my phone with itunes and got all the data, including games, data, emails and everything from itunes.
    So iOS 6 has issues with software, rather i feel apple has done it with an intention so that people can replace the same handset for USD 200.
    hi Apple team, please dont penalise customer for bugs in your software. There are millions you trust you as company of repute, I am unfortuanetly happy after jailbreaking iphone 3GS.

  • IPhone 3GS Shuts off Randomly

    I've had my iPhone 3GS since Feb. of 2010. The same phone since Feb. 2010 with no problems. I noticed my phone started shutting off around 20% in December. I didn't think of it as a big problem. Then it got worse and started shutting off around 35% in mid-January 2012. Then it started shutting off at 50% around early March. Now it's June 2012 and it's basically shutting off around 70-80%. Sometimes it shuts off around 87% when I try to play a phone game. It's gotten to the point where I can't use my phone outside at all because it'll just shut off. I've tried restoring the phone and that doesn't work. I've tried "X-ing" out comments I don't use. I've known other people with this problem who've tried restoring to factory settings and that didn't work. I don't want to waste my upgrade on the iPhone 4S when the iPhone 5 is coming soon. I don't know what to do. This phone is ******* me off. Please help.
    Is there a battery replacement that I can get? I don't have money to cough up for another phone. I don't want to waste my contract upgrade for another phone. I want to wait until the iPhone 5 to upgrade. And I'm out of warranty now so Apple probably won't replace my phone.

    Apple battery replacement costs $80, but you actually get a new replacement iPhone 3GS.

  • Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone call

    Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone calls? I know this seems trivial but I have difficulty seeing, so one of the reasons I actually purchased this phone was for this feature. When the photos do come up they come up in the top right corner in small boxes / windows. I already google'd this topic and they suggested importing the photos - to itunes and than directly on to the iphone, I did this and it didn't work. Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either. I looked in settings and could not find anything that discussed this issue. Although I do believe I have seen iphones that ring with large pictures. Am i Crazy?

    You aren't crazy.
    Adding the photo to contacts on the computer gets you the smaller pix when people call.
    Assign the photo on the phone itself and you get full-size pix.
    Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either.
    So, that certainly should work. Try it again? Try it with a brand new contact, maybe it is not overwriting a previously existing picture.
    I suppose there is a small possibility that Apple thought this differing behavior was a bug instead of a feature and "fixed" it with a recent update, but I doubt it.

  • I have a iphone 3GS and approxiamtely 4 gigs of spaces is taken up by the other categoy. How can I find out what is being stored in the other section to free up some space.

    Can anyone provide some insight on the problem that I am experiencing?  I have an IPhone 3GS.  Four of the 8 total gigs are taken up in the other category. I have attempted to delete apps numerous other things to free up space;  however, I cannot determine why so much of the device's capacity is taken up in the other category.  How can I find out what is stored in the other category to free up some of the device's storage capacity.
