Managing Space on my phone. Majority of space is occupied by "Documents and Data." What is Documents and Data?
Trying to free up space on my phone, but when I plug my phone into my computer, it tells me that a majority of the space occupied is by "Documents and Data." I don't know what Documents and Data is and I don't know what I have to delete to free up space on my phone. Thanks.

Something has changed with my iphone syncing and I don't know what. I use entourage exclusively for my calendar and contacts on my Mac computer.
My calendars were syncing fine using itunes, both with wifi and connected. Then some things disappeared from my calendar, and I can't get them back. New events sync fine, but my computer has events that will not go over at all. I even tried to replace all my phone calendar with everything from my entourage calendar, and again the same things did not move. What could I be doing wrong.
Now, I have a bunch of stuff on my Mac entourage calendar double. There is sooooo much work to get that back to normal. I am starting to think that my phone and calendar syncing is tooooo much work. I don't have the time for this.But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync. -
What does "other" mean at the bottom of the sync page? It is taking up a large amount of space on my phone.
The other section contains temporary files, such as text messages, iMessages, voicemail, and other storage that is meant for small short term use. If the other section of your phone has grown quite large and you can't account for what it could be then you may have experienced a syncing error to iTunes.
I have experienced this problem frequently during my years with the iPhone. The other portion of my phone grows with every sync of my phone to iTunes. There comes a point where it takes up the majority of the space on my iPhone, making the device near unusable.
When it grows to this extent is usually cased by an error during the syncing process. Any information iTunes can't reconcile during the syncing process is saved out of sight, out of mind, in the 'other' section.
You will never be able to see or recover this section unless you are very savvy and know how to poke around the archived iPhone back-up on your computer. (if you are thinking of trying, stop. It will not be worth your time and effort, or if using third party software, the money or spyware associated with it *cough* iTools *cough*).
The only fix I have found that works is to back up your phone to iTunes, and preform a 'restore'. This erases the content of your phone, and restores it to factory settings.
That is you phone will be as if you took it fresh out of the box. You can preform a restore from back-up through iTune, or iCloud to get your content back.
Lo and behold your have trimmed the mystery meat. -
i upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto? I've tried putting the pictures on flashdrives, but iphoto would no tlet me transfer.
I don't know how large the SSD (solid state hard drive) is, or how big your iPhone 5 is, but with some iPhones having 64GB and some Airs having as little as 64GB and some having as much as 512GB it's not hard to see how storing the contents of your iPhone 5 on your Macbook Air could run you out of space.
Go to the Macbook Air and bring up a finder window and pull the Go menu down and go to the Computer. Right click on the Macintosh HD and select get info. See if there is any available space on the MacBook Air. If not you are out of SSD space (you're storing more on your Macbook Air than it has storage for). I'm not sure if iTunes can store its library on an external hard drive or quite how you would make that happen. But even if you managed that, when the hard drive was disconnected, you would lose access to your library. Using a smart media card might be possible (I don't know) but it would probably be irritatingly slow. If you have a small Air and a big iPhone you might just have to find a different computer to sync to. Just remember a 64GB iPhone is a big chunk of SSD for a Macbook Air. I did it with my previous and my current Air but even my previous one had 256GB and I really just fit. -
E90: How to enter a space into a phone number?
Hi,
does anyone know if it's possible to enter a space into a phone number in the E90's Contacts manager? It is possible with my Nokia 9500, and I transferred my contacts from it to the E90, and spaces in phone numbers were preserved, but when I enter a new contact I can't find any way to enter a space! This is very frustrating, as I find it very useful to pad out numbers with spaces, for example to make it clearer which provider a mobile number has, or what city code a land line has, and it also makes it easier to read out numbers over the phone. I have the same problem with hypens, which are handy for separating extension numbers from the rest of the number. I see that there is an optional label "Extension (bus.)", but that's not much use if the extension is for the fax machine...

Solved!
Go to Solution.Thanks for your suggestions, and for bringing OVI to my attention, which I hadn't heard of before. However, all the suggestions require the use of another computer or service, whereas what I want is to be able to work with my communicator "stand alone" as far as possible, without having to rely on other systems, especially Windows systems! One of the features I most appreciate about the E90 is the USB interface, which means I can make backups without having to rely on software that only runs under Windows. In my case this means I can make backups to my Linux PC very quickly and easily, without needing to install any special software.

I don't know about the E90, but with the E61 and E71 you can:
- add spaces from OVI and then update the mobile
- add spaces in Outlook (or whatever PIM you use) and then update the mobile
- import a text file (using PC suite) with spaces from your PC to your mobile
My guess is that all of the above would work with the E90. Let me know! -
How do i create more space on my phone to install new apps?
How do i create more space on my phone to install new apps?
Clearing the system cache can help, and I would clear up the browser as well and Look at the Downloaded apps you have on your phone you can find them Via the settings and then Apps if there a re-moveable App and you don't need them any more just uninstall..
A favorite App I use and have for a long time can help keep tabs on your apps and your phone itself the battery level and Temperature this app is called SYSTEM Panel app It comes in a free version or a pay $2.99 version with a few more features added in and less Ads.. You might give it a try.! b33

I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) with iTunes but the messages are still there. How can I get rid of these texts for good and have more space on my phone? 6.33 gb of other space is way too much, thats almost half of my overall available space (13.5 gb.) I don't want to reset my phone and lose all my other texts/ app progress/ photos. I do have backups, but when I restore from the backup the other space comes back along with everything else. What can I do to get rid of this other space and the 'deleted' text messages? (I'm running iOS 6.1.3 if that helps)
But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts.

I have videos that are taking up too much space on my phone. I want to be able to see them through the Apple TV. When I put them in iPhoto, they don't show up on Apple TV. I have an IPhone 4 and a MacBook with I think all the updates. Thanks.
Yes, they are in iPhoto in a smart album. I didn't know they could be imported to iTunes so I got excited. I went to add to iTunes library. I can see them, but when I try to add them, it is grayed. I clicked on New Folder, but it won't go. What am I missing?

How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone but I cannot see a way to remove any of it
If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up.
You should have a look in:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/Extensions
You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. -
My phone didn't have space on it when I originally tried downloading a large app (Infinity Blade), so I downloaded the app on my computer to save time and removed apps from my phone to make space for it.
I then connected my phone to my computer and transferred the app across onto my phone and it works fine.
However, everytime I visit the App Store on my phone it starts downloading this same app until it tells me there isn't enough space for it at which point the app goes back to its normal already downloaded self and I can carry on playing the same game.
How can I stop it from trying to re-download everytime I visit the app store?If it's still trying to download the app to your phone, then it thinks the app is not on the device.
A reset or restart would be a good starting point to clear up the attempts to redownload the app. -
when I connect my iphone to my itunes it says loads of space is being taken up by documents , however i have no documents saved on my phone to my knowledge. how do I find and delete these hidden files ?
I restored the phone so had no apps on it at all and there was still this certain amount of space used up by documents ! I've already had it in to the apple store and they didn't seem to have a clue either ! Ugh ! Wouldn't mind so much if the phone was free with a contract but I actually spent 450 quid buying this phone and it's always full of "nothing" so virtually unusable

The complete iTunes library was already on my iPhone 4. Why would it all not go back on? It left out around 4 or 5 songs from my play list. How do I get them back on my iPhone?
Note: All software on both devices is up to date.
Then, I tried to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I got the message, cannot sync your iPhone because there is not enough free space in the iTunes library (not exact quote, but same meaning).
I researched how to get more free space on my phone which might 'supposedly' alleviate the above issues. I removed some less used apps, and some photos and videos from my phone. Then, I tried backing up again. I still got the message there wasn't enough free space on my phone, and the missing songs from the iTunes library were not returned to my phone. I gave another try at syncing my iPhone. I still got the same message that the phone couldn't be synced because there wasn't enough free space in the iTunes library.
Any suggestions on how to remedy these problems will be appreciated!
BTW... I read a suggestion on the internet to restore my phone (I did this recently when something went wrong during a phone update and the whole process went 'hey-wire', shutting down before the update was complete. However, at that time, all of my songs and apps were still on my phone and stored in the iTunes library.) If I restore my iPhone now, will the apps and songs no longer on my phone be lost?
Sorry there are so many questions within the same 'New Discussion' thread I'm starting! But, I think all of these issues are somehow related.
Thanks!I Have fumbled all day to this resolved, I'll run the battery down and see what happens afterwards. This is not good !

There is enough spacde on my phone. It is the exact same itunes library because i saved all my music before i reinstalled windows. So i just put all the music back onto itunes. It asked me if i wanted to erase and sync because it was a "new computer" and i said yes because it is all the same music so it should just re sync all the same stuff. But it wont do it. It just keeps saying there is not enough space on the phone, and my phone has 5 GB left on it.
Maybe iTunes is calculating it like this:
5 GB left, but if you sync your music (from the new PC) to it it will be full. It's maybe syncing the new content and then deleting the old music.
Try this: Deselect "Music-Syncing" and let him delete the music from your iPhone. (the other stuff, photos, cal, contacts should stay untoucht if you don't deselect it) After iTunes deleted the music from your iPhone (by letting the other stuff untouched) try to reselect "Music-Syncing" and iTunes will sync your music to your iPhone.
