IPhone memory taken up with "other"

iTunes is telling me my 128Gb iPhone 6 is full and can't be synced, on account of all this "other" memory. earlier today it was fine - very little "other" memory and plenty of free space. one sync later and here we are. I reset the whole phone to factory setting - no joy. Any ideas?

When you reset your iPhone, did you keep all of the apps, music, books, etc?

How to remove 'others' memory from my iphone?
Re: "Other" memory issue
If the information there doesn't help, try the following --
1.Back up your iPhone to iTunes (just in case)
2. Connect your iPhone to iTunes
3. Clear all music and book synchronization
4. If this clears the "Other" category, you should be fine. If not, proceed to step 5.
4. Remove all non-permanent apps via iTunes.
5. Reset your phone again.
6. Restore your apps one at a time to see if you can identify the app that is taking over the "Other" category.

    spill water on my Iphone and I want to recover photos on my Ipad The pictures on the Iphone were not shared with other apple devices is it possible get my photos from the iCloud ?

    Had you set your iPhone up to use Photo Stream?
    Had your performed an iCloud backup of your iPhone before it was damaged?
    If you did neither of the above, then your photos are not in the cloud, and they are gone.
    If you performed an iCloud backup, then it would contain the photos in the iPhone's Camera Roll (taken on the iPhone) at the time of your last backup.  You could restore this iCloud backup to a device.
    If your iPhone used Photo Stream, those photos are immediately accessible to your iPad if you set it up to use the same Photo Stream.

    Hey Cherielly,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you are having an issue with syncing to a different apple id. You may want to make sure you are signing in with the correct apple id.
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

  • Touch screen problem - 3,5 jack in Iphone is not compliant with other 3,5 headset

    Hi,
    I have plugged a Beast head set in to my Iphone 5; 3,5 jack after that the touch screen is problem. Sometimes I can not select correct a application icon (Another app near by openned) or I can not type correct a character (one or some other character apreared) when I try to type.
    I did all kind of reset, inclucluded factory reset. But the problem still remain the same.
    How to fix this issue?
    PS: Before I have same problem with my Iphone 2G when I try with a Ipod headset. I think that it is all Apple headset but it is diffrence. It seem the Ipod headset is not included microphone that why the pin is diffrence. After sometimes I try with Ipod headset then touch screen totally die and shop need to change for me a new Iphone.
    Does the 3,5 jack in Iphone is not compliant with other 3,5 headset?
    Thanks,

    i restored as a new. I am facing following problems :
    1. if iphone is locked then it won't get unlocked. I need to swipe/restart many times to unlock it. or need to use siri to unlock it.
    2. after unlocking iphone, it will work normally for few mins then there is some abnormal behaviour in its working.
    for e.g some applications will open without actually opening it. some applications will close automatically.
    3. sometimes suddenly in the middle of work, iphone touch will stop responding.
    There is no specific case for above problems. I m facing these issues in the middle of any applications at any moment of time.

  • Why is it so impossible(in the iphone) to share files with other devices?

    i want to buy an iphone 4 but this sharing issue is struggling me down>>>>>please i want help because sharing is very with other devices like nokia is very important to me.............

    File sharing on smart phones is generally through an app like Dropbox or similar. iPhone also provides file transfer via iTunes in many cases. On a non-Smartphone, file-sharing is generally accomplished through syncing to a computer or by Bluetooth file transfer (though phone-to-phone transfer is not generally possible).
    So, file sharing is quite possible, but it will probably involve using some computer or service as an intermediary if the phones involved use different operating systems or  don't directly support file transfer.

  • IPhone 3GS antenna interfering with other phones?

    Does anyone know if the iPhone was known to cause "interferences" with other mobile devices? According to an employee at the iPhone provider in Saudi Arabia, Mobily, the iPhone 3G (released in late Feb 2009) antenna was interfering with other phones. They said that Apple didn't fix it with the 3GS so they can't release it.
    Did anyone else heard of something similar? Did any other carrier say anything about the iPhone antenna causing interference?
    (let me go on a quick rant about the iPhone 3GS release here):
    Another employee claimed that Mobily didn't meet expected sales (their own fault, they are hurting the iPhone 3G).
    What's really weird is all of the countries listed here
    http://cache.gizmodo.com/assets/wwdc2009/wwdc2009-843.jpg
    got their iPhone 3GS in August. Only exceptions are: Saudi Arabia (Mobily), UAE (Etisalat) and Jordan (Orange). I am trying the feedback form, but, does anyone have any idea on why are these countries missing?
    Thanks

  • IPhone oddly associates itself with other user's iTunes accounts

    Hello everyone,
    I have been having a strange problem. Most times that I use someone else's wireless network for Internet access and that person also has an iTunes account, my iPhone will automatically associate with that user's iTunes account. Usually, if I restart the phone, it reassociates with my iTunes account, but this time it is stuck on my friend's account. I never manually entered his account information.
    As a result, I cannot download any new apps or update existing apps, as the iPhone asks for my friend's password when I try to download from the App Store.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    You'll need to sync the iPhone with a computer that is signed into the iTunes Store with your AppleID.

  • I received a memory warning on my 2010 MacBook pro. When I open up the about my mac box I see a lot of memory being conumed with "other".  However, when i go into finder and look whjat I have stored, i have difficulty in seeing what is eating up my comput

    I have a 2010 MacBook pro with 500 Gig of memory.  Recently, i received a warning about running out of memory space.  When I open up my about my mac icon, I see that "other" is chewing up most of the memory.
    1. When I open finder, I can't seem to see where/why my computer's memory is almost exhausted.
    2. What is the best way to focus on where my memory is being consumed.
    3. What is the safest way of deleting programs/files that are not needed.
    4. In my mail account I see hundreds of messages for email, but they have an OLK designator, if I delete these, does that erase the same message from Microsofy outlook for Mac or is it a redundant file.  These messages do not consume much memory though.
    5. I know there will be a new operating system available this summer, and I am trying to make sure that if I pursue it, I will have sufficient memory available.
    many thanks,

    there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

  • How to unlock my iPhone to use it with other company in México

    I bought an iPhone in México (Telcel [the most disgusting movil company on earth]) and the company says that they will not unblock my device, even when I already finish my contract.

  • Old iPhone sync at odds with other cloud devices?

    Hello
    My wife's "old" iphone 3g has iOS 4 that does not support iCloud, and I guess Apple won't update the iOS for that model anymore?
    All my other relevant devices and my main computer have been moved to iCloud and so my contacts etc are in the cloud.
    BUT since I did not want all my cloud contacts duplicated "on my mac" and cause confusion about which one is the most updated, I deleted all the "on my Mac" contacts so when I search my entire address book it only should find one of any given person.
    But now the old iPhone has no hardware-based contacts to sync with, so it is empty.
    How do I have only ONE set of contacts, but also have cloud-enabled and non-cloud-enabled systems work???
    This worked just fine in the old days of DotMac where there was local AND cloud versions that worked in harmony most of the time.

    Hi sberman, while I realize that this 2009 phone will not support over the air effortless iCloud syncing, my main questions was how do I use it like it normally was synced during physical usb updating?
    I plan on updating it at some point, but all I want is for my wife to have contacts that update when I plug in the phone every once and a while. At the moment it has NO contacts since it seemed I needed to delete my Mac-based contacts for me to enjoy the use of my Cloud based contacts without duplicates.
    I wish that my adress book did not have "on the cloud" and "on my mac", but I don't know an alternative. I though iCloud was supposed to make life effortless?
    Any setting or workaround that anybody knows of? 

  • IPhone 6 not syncing with other devices or shared calendar, reminders etc. using same Apple ID on all devices. Any ideas?

    I have just bought a new iPhone 6 and updated it from the cloud with no issues (contacts all there as well as calendars that I have set up previously, for example) but have noticed that it will not sync to new content on my iPad or MacBook or vice versa, it is now like a stand alone device. Also, shared calendars set up by somebody else don't appear and I can't share a reminders list. I am signed in using my Apple ID, the same as I am on my other devices (which all still sync with each other as normal) but it is as if the iPhone is not on the same account. I have updated my iPad to IOS 8 with no issues so probably not an iOS problem. Does anyone have any suggestions before I trek into town to see a genius?

    Unfortunatley 5 GB is not necessarily a lot of space.  What you should do is FIRST go into iCloud and choose what information you want turned on.
    Settings >iCloud
    Here you should see different Tabs that will let you select what you want to back up on your device.  You have the option to back up the following data on your phone:
    Mail
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Safari
    Notes
    Passbook
    Photo Stream
    Documents & Data
    Find My iPhone
    If you turn off some of these options you should free up some of your space. 
    Once you have backed up your device in iCloud, you can place your device in Recovery Mode in iTunes so it can be recognized. 
    To put phone in recovery mode:  Hold down home button and power button at top of phone at the same time.  Once you see the Apple on the device, CONTINUE to hold down the Home button.  Plug your phone into iTunes.  Do not let the Home button go until you see a message in iTunes stating that a device has been detected in recovery mode.

  • My Iphone has been set with other Apple ID and so I can't use my Iphone

    Dear everyone,
    I bought a used Iphone 6 some monts ago. Seller told me that he forgot the user and password of his apple ID (All details of his Apple ID). So now I don't know how to find the Apple ID user and password to use my Iphone.
    I am unhappy realy ;( ;( ;(
    How do I find the user and password of the apple ID that my Iphone was set with them??
    Can I find them with use of my Iphone's IMEI numbers???
    Or Can I use my Iphone in Other way?such as without These username and password??
    I can't use my Iphone..
    Please help my solve this issue soon.

    If a second-hand iOS device has been 'Activation locked' then only the previous owner can unlock it, either by providing you with the account ID and password, or by removing it from his list of devices (as he should have done before selling it) - please see http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
    If you are unable to contact him to do this then I'm afraid you will not be able to use the device - there is no other way of unlocking it at all. Apple cannot unlock it for you, and the IMEI number won't help.
    You should if possible return it to wherever you bought it and ask for a refund as in this event the device is completely useless.
