ITunes 11.3 capacity bar vs. reality on iPhone 5.

Having recently deleted all music on my iPhone 5, when that device is selected in the Source List, the color-coded capacity bar in iTunes 11.3 is showing a sliver of blue, representing 9 songs, 145.2 MB, still on the phone. Whatever the 9 songs are, they don't appear in iTunes when iPhone->Music is selected, nor when I pull up the Music App on the phone, nor under Settings-->General-->Usage, which shows "No Data" in Music App.
I have resetting the iPhone, Syncing music, adding a few tracks, then wiping the phone again. These phantom songs persist.
This isn't causing any great harm, but, I'd really like to know what might be going on.
Anyone?
Thanks.

What does the yellow portion of the capacity bar represent when your iPhone is plugged into iTunes?

Is this yellow "other" portion potentially destructive to one's iPhone? Is there anyway to "clean-up" your iphone?

"Other" is anything that does not fit into the rest of the sections. This can include pictures taken with the device, SMS/MMS history, iOS, application data, and sometimes corrupted files.
If "Other" has grown extremely large, like over 1GB, try a restore first from backup. This should significantly reduce the size. Cleaning up old SMS/MMS messages will also go a long way towards reducing the size.

ITunes Capacity Bar - iPhone 4

In the capacity bar on the bottom of the iTunes phone summary tab, my bar reads:
Audio - 14.5 GB
Photos - .49 GB
Apps - 2.8 GB
Other - .67 GB
Free - 10.8 GB
I am concerned with the category labeled "Other." Seems awfully high. What is it, and how can I get rid of it if not pertinent?
Thanks in advance!

It could be the OS, contacts, favorites, notes, calendar, settings,etc.
It does no seem very high to me. .4 - .8GB seems quite normal. I think you have nothing to be concerned with.

You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Most of my music library disappeared upon upgrading iTunes; it shows on the capacity bar but not in the iphone

How do I restore music, audiobooks and podcasts to my iTunes? only 2 albums remain, 2 songs, 2 artists, no books, no podcasts. and yet the capacity bar shows that all the music is still there. and they are all still on my computer. repeated attempts to sync individual categories (music, audiobooks, podcasts) have not worked. Please advise! many thanks in advace.

Hello davej65,
Unfortunately adding music from external drives should not be possible, because it is not supported.

Why is iTunes not sinking certain music on a playlist to my 4S, also it is not showing splits in capacity bar (music, photos, apps etc.)?

Hi,
My iTunes will not sync any new music in my "iPhone Music" playlist to my phone. It has been saying that there was too much capacity but that has corrected itself now.
Also, iTunes is not splitting the uses on the capacity bar for Music, Apps, Photos etc.
I can't seem to add any new music to my phone now.
Can anyone help?

It's telling you there's not enough space *on your 4S*. The 25GB you refer to is probably that on iCloud, that's different memory than that on your iPhone. You need to delete video, pictures, apps, or whatever ON THE IPHONE, to make enough room for downloading updates to your apps.

My itunes capacity bar is nearly full but ipod empty

I have just updated to Itunes 8 and then when i plugged my ipod touch in to update it the capacity bar in itunes has turned all orange and has also wiped all the songs from my touch. A message then appears saying there is not enough space to sync (even though ipod is empty).
Have tried to sync manually to no avail and have also reset the ipod.
Any ideas how i can fix this problem?

Capacity Bar on iTunes

Up until R2.1 and R8.xx iTunes, when I connected my 3G into my MBPro and iTunes, I would be able to see the amount of Audio, Video, Photos, etc. space I've taken up on my iPhone... Now, I consistently see nothing showing up on the Capacity Bar.
Anyone else notice this and if so, any resolve to this?
Thanks

Over the course of time (R2.0, R2.0.1, R2.0.2 & R2.1) when I have had to Restore and Backup my iPhone, I have noticed certain app's are not being backed-up. Example: my stock entries; weather in various cities, clock and city locations & secondary mail account I have.
Each and every time I do a restore and backup, I consistently have to re-enter this information.
Any fix for this?
Thanks

I downloaded songs on itunes, when I go to sync it to my ipod it "says" its syncing and then it shows up on the capacity bar but there are no songs on my ipod

In itune did you play any of the songs downloaded. If so plug your ipod back in an manualy check off to sync all music. If that doesn't work you might have to restore the ipod.

ITunes 7 Capacity Bar

When iPod is connected and you look at the 'Summary' page there is a multicolored Capacity bar that now displays with Audio, Video, Photos, Other, and Free Space catagories. What the heck is 'Other'? On my iPod, Other takes up considerable space (about 10 gigs). When I look at the iPod as a hard disk, I can't figure out what this could be. I have no real entries in Calendars, Contacts, or Notes folders. Then there are the usual Photos and iPod Control folders with my music, videos and photos. So where is this Other?
Sandy

I'm having the same problem. I have a 20GB iPod with over 7GB of "Other". When I enable disk use and look at what is on my iPod I see "Calendars", "Contacts", "Notes" (all of which are more or less empty), and over a dozen folders named with strange characters. I am not able to open these folders.
Interesting side note: when I select these mystery folders and files, Windows tells me the combined file size is about 46GB.

How do I see what "Other" is in the capacity bar?

Under music in my device, the capacity bar shows that Other has 4GB of space used. What does Other encompass and why is it taking up so much space. This is a 8GB Ipod Nano. Thanks!

Other can be Album Artwork, Notes, Contacts, Firmware etc. or files that are on there if you are using the iPod as a removable storage device. If you feel that Other is being incorrectly reported then try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

What exactly is "other" in the AppleTV capacity bar

Hi all,
If I click on the AppleTV device in itunes, I notice it has the following categories in the capacity bar:
* video
* audio
* photos
* other
* free space
What exactly is included in the "other" category? I assume that podcasts may be in there. The reason I ask is that my "other" category seems to be growing (currently 4.56Gb out of 32.85Gb capacity, which is significant). Is there anything I can do to control the size of this?
Many thanks in advance.

Likely the case. You have to remember podcasts are provided by 3rd parties and by there very nature some podcasts are amateur productions or are not necessarily aimed at itunes specifically. There is a chance that some podcasts, whilst playing just fine, don't actually meet the specs from the tv prospective and as such even when completely downloaded don't properly get moved to the appropriate category.
I've just downloaded the 'Hidden Universe' podcasts, I watched the 'other' category increase in size as more of the podcast downloaded, once complete the 'other' reset to its original value and 'video' increased appropriately.

Audio Capacity Bar showing full, but Free Space says 52.30 still...

Kind of hard to explain, but in the Summary View of mu iPod, the Audio Capacity says 1,712,986,856 then some garbled characters, then the Vido says 8.45 GB, photos 196.3 MB and again, free space is at 51.30 (it's an 80 GB video). The bar is all blue, but the iPod isn't full... Anyone see this before? It doesn't seem to be a problem, makes me nervous though. On that note, is there a way to see the size of the files on in iTunes, more like which is the largest, etc? And also on the iPod? I',m wondering if I could do like a du -ks * sort of command on the iPod and iTunes, see what are the big files, make sure it's all ok. Maybe wasted time... Anyway, any help appreciated.
JP

I just upgraded iTunes to Windows version 7.3.1 and the problem still exists for me. In the summary view, the capacity bar at the bottom is solid blue and the Audio data size displays -1,194,043,981.634. However, the number changes when I click on the capacity bar to display the number of audio songs or number of days. I have a screen shot.
