Iphone "Other" Storage is music?

I tried syncing my iphone 4s, and then after some trouble I had to restore it. After a bunch of hassles, my computer tells me I have no music on my phone and also about 25 gb of "other", which is about how much music I had. After a bunch of attempts at fixing it, I now have 1.98 of manually added music, but still have 24.66 gb of "other". How do I get rid of this "other" and go back to being able to put actual music on my ipod?
Itunes 11.1
IOS 7.1.2

The Restore didn't finish properly, and your music ended up as data corruption. Restore the phone again. This time don't interrupt the process until it finishes (the usual cause of data corruption).

  • IPhone "Other" storage continuously expanding - help

    So here's my problem - earlier today my iphone gave me the low on space warning. I thought that was odd, because I thought I still had a few hundred MBs free, but I looked and it said 0 kb free. Anyway, I then went and deleted a few apps. It freed up space for a minute or two. Then it gave the low on space warning again. I looked again. It was once again at 0 kb.
    I sync it with iTunes. iTunes shows 1+ gigs of "other" storage - the orange bar. I delete a few gigs of music to free up more space. This space begins immediately shrinking. On iTunes, I can literally look every few seconds and see the "other" storage go up and the free space go down. This happens even if my iPhone is disconnected from my computer and there is nothing running - free space just disappears constantly until there is none left.
    I deleted my entire music collection, but this just made the "other" storage balloon to over 8 gigs until I once again had 0 space free. Now, a lot of applications won't work, I can't take pics with camera or check email because if there is free space it just gets eaten up immediately, etc.
    I've had my iPhone for about half a year and it has never done this - just today out of the blue. Is there any way to fix this without resorting to a restore? I have a lot of saved progress in my games and other 3rd party apps that I understand will be lost if I restore.

    The large amount of "Other" indicates data that iTunes can't recognize. A Restore will fix that. You can restore from your backup and retain all of your app data. I have done this to resolve excessive "Other" and no data was lost.
    This article will explain the restore process and show you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If the problem still persists after your restore, you may have to restore again and set up your phone as a new phone. In this case, you will lose your app data, but your phone will work properly.

  • HT1689 i have my daughters iphone 3, i want to use it as an i-pod, but it keeps receiving messages from some her friends is there a way to stop this from happening, please help, my phone is maxed out and would really like the storage for music, thanks

    It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

  • Sync issues with iPhone 6 and "other" storage

    I have been having multiple problems with syncing music on my iPhone 6. In short some of the music and album art aren't synching even though they are checked.
    I did some research and decided to follow the advice below from other users:
    • Uncheck “sync music” in iTunes
    • On phone, Delete all Music (General > Usage > Manage Storage)
    • Re-check “sync music”
    • Sync
    The problem is once I unchecked the "sync music", it deleted all the music on my phone, but the actual space it was taking up is now in the "other" storage on the summary screen in iTunes. Now my "other" storage is over 81GB. I checked the Usage on my phone and even though there are no music files it is still showing I'm using this 81GB as used. When I go to "manage storage" I can't find this amount anywhere.
    I figured if I re-checked "sync music" that would fix it, but instead iTunes tells me I can't sync because I'm over capacity.
    So now I'm stuck because I can't sync but I also can't figure out how to get rid of the ghost storage.

    Hey armoe12,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like you have a very large quantity of “Other” disk usage when syncing your device with iTunes. The following resource should help you resolve this issue. Please be sure to follow each step, including the final step of restoring your device if needed:

  • Why would "other" storage on my iPhone 5 be 10GB?

    I have an iPhone 5, running iOS 7.0.4, and iTunes is currently showing 10+GB of "Other" storage. Everything else together is only about 2GB. The largest app is only at 300+MB.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    If you have an app that allows you to transfer documents, music or videos to it (other than the stock Apple apps), the content of that app will show up in "Other."
    Generally, though, this is a sign of a corrupt backup/problematic app. Best thing to do is restore the phone as new and selectively transfer items back to it.

  • I restored my iphone and now my music is downloading as "Other" and isn't appearing on my iphone. What should I do?

    My iphone was randomly skipping songs and they would turn grey, so I restored my iphone and now my music is downloading as "Other" and isn't appearing on my iphone at all. What should I do?

    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restart the device.
    Restore as New.
    Might also be a good idea to contact the carrier just to verify there are no account issues.

    I cannot delete your posts. As I explained, only the Hosts can.
    And if you can find it in your heart to actually pass on the feedback that the pre installed apps not being able to easily be gotten rid of is a problem, then that would be great.
    Use the feedback link I gave in my first post.
    Apparently one of your hosts deleted his own post where he called me an idiot for necroing this thread, where it's still an issue. Obviously I'm not so naive as to think it'd be changed on one person's say-so, but the fact that he deleted his own post is problematic and goes to trust and accountability.

  • Other is taking space from my iPhone 6 storage

    Hi,
    am facing a problem with my iPhone 6 storage which before i didn't have it.
    When i connect my iPhone to my mac and open iTunes it will show me the storage and others is taking most of my capacity. i tried third party app called clean mobile install it on my mac but it didn't solve the problem.
    please i need help
    Thanks,

    Where did you get the phone? FaceTime is banned in some countries in the Middle East. What had you done before it disappeared; did you possibly reset or restore the phone?
    If the above is not the issue, if you use Search by dragging down your finger from the center of the screen and you search for "Facetime" does it appear as an app? If it does, then you must have moved it into a folder or another page of the Home screen. If it is in a folder the folder name will be displayed.

  • I cannot sync my iphone because my "other" storage has ballooned to nearly 6g.  Also, I'm worried to restore my iphone to fix the problem because my notes aren't syncing to iCloud. Aghh! Can somebody help?

    My "other" storage has balloobned to 6g and now my iPhone will not sync. I ought more ICloud space to compensate, but that did not remove the "other" storage and I am still unable to back up, even to my PC.
    I've never encountered this problem before and I've been an iPhone customer for years.
    Someone mentioned restoring my iPhone, but I'm worried I'll lose a lot of info as I cannot find my past backups.
    Ideas?
    Thanks!

    First - try deleting some Messages if you don't regularly clean them out.   In my experience, eliminating that first often reduces the "Other" situation enough where your iCloud backups will start working again.   Your backup file is probably enormous which is causing this problem with Notes.
    If that doesn't work come on back and everyone will help you work on this.

  • How do I know if my purchased music is being saved to the "cloud" so I don't need to do any other storage?

    How do I know if my purchased music is being saved to the "cloud" so I don't need to do any other storage?

    You're purchased music is not so much saved to the cloud, but rather indexed, since it is already in the cloud by virtue of being in the iTunes store.
    If you want to check whether your purchases are being indexed or not, go to the purchased section on the main page of the iTunes store. There you will see a list of all your purchased items.

  • HT1689 what is the "other" storage on my iphone 4 and how to i delete it?

    Again what is the "other" storage on my iphone 4 and how to i delete it?

    There will always be some other - favorites, history, voicemail and other items.
    Much more than a GB or so indicates corrupt files.  A restore should resolve.

  • Iphone 3g: "other" storage capacity

    Okay, I am syncing my apps and I noticed the orange labeled "Other" with 265.8 mb and now it is now 340 mb. Are apps taking "Other" storage?? How can I access or delete the "Other" storage?
    Thank You.
    PS: It keeps increasing on sync; It ended on 356.7 mb

    You can't access or delete what is included with the "Other" storage. "Other" stores data such as 3rd party application settings and data created and stored by 3rd party applications, contact info and contact photos, calendar events, bookmarks, Safari history/cookies/cache, locally stored email and email attachments, etc.
