ITunes 10.5 synching with iPhone iOS 5.0..."other" takes up a ton of space?!

So, Something is wrong with my iPhone...
I just updated it yesterday, and all of my music was off of it when clicking on the 'music' icon (even though in settings it said it was on there?)
but the bigger problem is the capacity of my phone... seen in the photo, it says that the 'other' takes up 16 gigs. This happened on my iPad, so i took off a ton of photos, etc, only to find out that it was because i had podcasts synched on. I took them off of my phone, along with videos, but this still shows up. what do i do?

This happened to me, but not as dramatically.  I restored the iPhone from a back up and that shrunk the Other to a less alarming chunk.

  • Hello,  Is there a way to import books from the sony reader library to the itunes library, for synching with iphone?

    Hello,
    I would like to transfer books from my Sony reader library to iTunes, in order to synch with iPhone.
    I get the message that it's in the wrong format, & can't be viewed.
    How do you change the format?
    Regards,
    L.

    I understand now, it can't be done.

  • ITunes won't synch with iPhone 4s

    This is driving me nuts.
    iTunes goes through the whole synch process step-by-step including saying it's determining tracks to add etc etc but then it doesn't update the music and often doesn't update the app's. I may have to try synching 2, 3 or 4 times before it will actually applies the changes.
    The annoying thing is it will say it's synched & the synch is complete but it isn't and hasn't.
    I don't receive any alerts saying that the synch coudn't be completed etc.
    Presently have around 21Gb free so it's not a space issue.
    iPhone is latest iOS update & iTunes is likewise.
    Help please.

    same problem here, iphone 4s, 5.1, and I just updated itunes. it has a mind of its own and syncs the music it wants.
    Hmmm, okay, so not just me then.
    I spent nearly 4 hours the other day trying to get this sorted. Even did a full restore. Finally got everything back onto my iPhone.
    I switched it to wireless synching in-case the problem was with USB & that didn't fix the problem.
    I managed to get onto Apple tech support & the dude was great, escalated the case to iTunes support in the US but it all fell apart then as they didn't pay attention to the description of the problem & just dismissed me with a pro-forma trouble-shooting response.
    Looks like I'll have to waste still more time & book a Genius Bar appointment.
    You know online self-service help & everything is fabulous if it delivers what the customer needs but there has to come a point where you can get support from a human that actually delivers.

  • Music from iTunes does not synch with iPhone 5s

    After updating to iOS 8 all my playlists disappeared. After resetting my phone I restored from iCloud. All my apps synched, but none of my music that is checked to synch. Only music that synched was purchased. Playlists synched, but none of the music that was not purchased through iTunes.

    Hi,
    Can you clarify the nature of your issue. iTunes match scans your iTunes library to determine what can be matched or needs to be uploaded.

  • New apps purchased on ipad not synching with iphone 4S.  This a new problem.  No problem in the past

    Purchased new apps on ipad.  Purchases did not synch with iphone 4.  Purchases are listed in my itunes account and on my ipad, however, they are mot listed as purchased on iphone 4s.  this is a new problem.  I did not have any probelms in the past wit apps synching with iphone 4.

    It does, but I use the SoundNote App because it records audio and allows me to draw diagrams in the document. Any thoughts on syncing the SoundNote files to the mini? I am sure it can be done with a wire, but I have a disability which makes it difficult to plug and unplug cords, so the more I can do wirelessly or through the Cloud the better. Thanks for your help! I am really grateful.

  • How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4?

    How to sync Address book with iphone(iOS 6) and 10.7.4

    i'm having this issue too.  it's a bit more complex though i think so i'll give the details:
    a few days ago i added some people to my contacts using my phone. the thing they have in common is they're all new contacts.
    they synced over to my macbook address book ok.
    then a few days later i had to do a full restore of my iphone for various reasons (the new one, already!) which i did. when i then looked in my iphone contacts, these contacts were no longer there. they WERE however, still in my macbook address book.
    so i figured i'd switch icloud syncing off for contacts and then resync to get them back on my phone. it didn't work. so i then turned off icloud sync and tried a good old manual sync via itunes, making sure to check the box for syncing contacts.  it still didn't work.
    now i'm at that odd place where the contacts are in my macbook address book but not in my phone and i can't seem to get them onto my phone (which is frustrating as ultimately they are phone numbers and in my phone is the best place for them!)
    any ideas?

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. You can download it from here -> http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If that doesn't work, check out this Apple article -> iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC

  • Need comparable contact managament to Act by Sage that will synch with iphone

    I am having trouble finding a contact management solution similar to Act (which, obnoxiously, does not synch with iphone). Most I am finding are too bloated and complex (ex. Salesforce). I need it to synch with my iphone and Entourage on my MacBook Pro. I am in sales, with an awful memory. I just need somthing to log all interactions with contacts. I do not need to run sales reports, handle campaigns, workflows, etc. Thanks!

    Here are just a few suggestions others and by no means is exhaustive, I am sure others will weigh in.
    -Just a cursory read of the support forum I have not seen overwhelming complaints that iPhone does not work with windows. It seems mac and windows work equally well with the iPhone
    -Ringtones if you like ringtones and could see your self loading your iPhone up go with the mac. Garage Band gives you the ability to make ring tones from your own music collection for free. There are down loads like iToner etc that are unofficial ring tone makers so it makes it a little more difficult to you use.
    -As long as memory of your devices exceeds 16 GB (which is as high as the iPhone goes) you will be able to take full advantage of your iPhone. Anything more will not make a difference.
    -There is no heavy processing involved with your iPhone syncing to your desktop/laptop. What we are taking about is down loading contact lists music etc. No real graphics rendering is taking place. The iPhone is a seperate system you desktop/laptop to manage your iPhone for preferences downloads etc. So processing speeds do not matter that much.
    -iPhone apps work with any iPhone regardless of what OS it is synced to. Even if you would like to use Mobile Me it can utilize some windows programs.
    What I would do is figure out which or your personal computers you use most. Then I would set up a Mobile Me account then I would add all other computers you might use to sync with your Mobile Me account and this would solve all of your problems, for 99 bucks/year that is.

  • Any reason why iTunes would not sync with my iOS device using USB cable?

    Hi there,
    what could be the reason if iTunes won't sync with my iOS 5 devices via USB? The devices are recognized in iTunes (I can see the devices there and all the content stored on these devices), but the sync does not work...
    BTW: I tried several different USB cables already...
    I am using Mac OS X Lion on a MacBook Pro Late 2011.
    Thanks

    I can't recommend any learning resources, especially since what you are going to be doing likely falls under the category of basic untutorialed coding.
    When I decided to take the plunge I had a project in hand that I had just created in AS2, and what I did was restart the project using AS3, tackling each coding element as it came up. One nice thing about AS3 is that it is much better with pointing out coding errors--while cryptic at times, you get better at interpretting them with time--and when you don't get any, chances are you are on the right track.  So you try something and if it flies, great, and if an error message pops up, you pursue solving the error.
    In most cases, the Flash help documents are a sufficient reference, but in other cases I would rely on Google.  Just as a for instance, you mention using key listeners... That would be something I would have serach Google using "AS3 key listener", and I'm willing to bet you'd find something to get you over the hump.  Sometimes it helps to add "tutorial" to the end of a search string... it can help weed out all the others that have psotings on forums that are offering problems rather than solutions.

  • I want to start using my iTunes Server to Synch my iPhone / iPad Need Help Moving iTunes...

    Looking for some advice on a bit of an unusual situation.  I have two Mac Minis. One, (Firefly) is my main machine and my iPhone and iPad both connect to today, I also have another Mini (iTunes_Server) that as the name implies is my iTunes Server for my house.  I figure with WiFi synching I no longer need to have copies of all my music and movies and such on my main machine (Firefly) AND my server, I can simply synch my iPhone and iPad to my server from my home office or bedroom or anywhere in the house. 
    Ok my issue is how do I move my sync relationship over to my server without
    A: having to wipe my phone and
    B: having to migrate my entire iTune from the Firefly Mini to the Server thus screwing up what I have on the Server?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.....
    Thanks everybody.

    3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is not stored with the app. 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is included with your iPod Touch backup and with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    You can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your iPod Touch. This would be the only way if this is possible. It should be but not something I have done.

  • Synch with iPhone

    How can I synch my iphone with Lightroom rather than iphoto

    Ian is of course right about import from iPhone > LR.  To sync from LR to iPhone without using iPhoto: create a Publish service to a folder on your HD, and in iTunes select that folder for sync to your phone. Several good tutorials on the web for that approach.  Try Terry White's podcast here
