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.

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 VS Video Library

According to my iTunes capacity bar, I have 1.17GB of Video on my iPhone. BUT, according to the Video Tab in my iTunes library, I have NO video on my iPhone. Why is that and how can it be fixed?
I tried to post a screen shot with this question, but the site won't let me.
Thanks,
Colleen

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.

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.

Ipod/iphone capacity bar?

How do you know when ur selecting too much music for ur iphone or ipod?
Why does the capacity bar in itunes only change after you sync, rather than changing when i make changes in my selections, so i can see how much i can fit. annoying. . Am i missing something??

Hello rickfrommahomet,
Based on your post it seems you would like to know how to manage the storage of your device. I have linked to an article you may find helpful:

Iphone capacity bar shows almost full.

Hi,
I just plugged in my iphone and noticed that the capacity bar in itunes showing 12.8G of "others", I know I have songs, movies, pictures and books, but noting besides those and I used to have 22G of empty unusable space, so how can I check what those 12.8 G are and how can I remove them.
I haven't added any new apps or anything since my last sync.

Just turned off and back on and my "Others" shows 0.56G, which isn't a huge thing.
I wanted to delete my post, but what's done is done

I am not sure that corrupt data is always the reason. I have experienced a few times that my 13GB green stripe of apps with a few MB of orange "other" has become a couple of gigs of green apps with 10 gigs of orange "other" or other similar incorrect number. It disappears either the next time the iPhone is plugged in or after a normal sync. Similarly I have had "free space" readings that are suddenly and inexplicably as much as a gig different than it should be. This also happens during syncing when it will commonly show an aberrant "free space" number which goes back to normal after the sync.
I suspect that iOS sometimes struggles with interpreting space usage and misreads are then lumped with other readings such as "other" or free space. Interestingly, this bug only seems to affect the green, orange and "free space" bars and music, video, and photos are not affected or if so much more rarely.
I would simply ignore the glitch in the space used bar unless usage problems crop up.

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

HT204120 My iPhone 5s is stuck with 3948 photos (shown on the iTunes storage bar) on and I can not find a way to delete them all! It's very annoying as it takes up 6.54 GB of space and leaves me no room to add films, music...etc on to it. Please help me!!

My iPhone 5s (16GB) is stuck with 3948 photos (shown on the iTunes storage bar) on and I can not find a way to delete them all! It's very annoying as it takes up 6.54 GB of space and leaves me no room to add films, music...etc on to it. Please help me!!! I have already tried the numerous articles Apple have sent my way and I am still having no luck.I'd be eternally grateful if anyone could find a solution for me as this has been a problem for almost a year. Thank you.

If they were put there via iTunes sync process, then simply untick the Music box before syncing again.

Itunes doesn't seem to synch "wirelessly" with my iphone. It seems to work with emails but not photos / videos I've taken on my phone. Also, there is no "device" listed on itunes menu bar, only when connected via cables

My computer / iTunes is set up correctly for wireless (account info. all good), and emial is synched wirelessly. BUT not photos / videos or songs. I seem to have to plug my iPhone into my computer for iTunes to recognize my device. Shouldn't iTunes recognize my iphone wirelessly? For example, I have read that "device" should show up in menu bar on iTunes but it doesn't unless I'm cabled in.
Also, when I go to my iPhone to "synch wirelessly with iTunes", the button / tab doesn't light up for me to chose and tells me will synch when "smith - laptop" is available.....
This is my first iPhone, and just got it so may be user error.....
thanks

Did you build Elsa with this package from AUR: elsa-svn-arch
The way your elsa.conf looks like indicates to me that you have not.
Please use the package because you are also missing pam-files.

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

I uploaded 3 audiobooks from iTunes to my iPhone 5 with the latest ios7 on it. Each of them only plays the first 15 mins of the playback and then silence, the bar shows the book is still playing but no sound, any ideas? Thanks

What happens when playing the same books in iTunes. Is there sound after 15 min?
If also silent in iTunes, check the info tab where you can see the item is an audiobook, etc. Check the volume bar, this normally is on the zero point.
When an audio book is really low in audio, I tend to move this to the plus side (+1=max), but for some strange reason this bar was at -1 in some books I had and they also seemed to play in absolute silence.
