Memory hog since upgrading iphone to iOS 6

hi - hope someone can help. There's a huge chunk of hard drive space assigned to other since upgrading ipHONe to ios 6
I'm running Lion 10.7.5 on MacBook Pro 2.4GHz 160GB.
Yesterday I upgraded iPad to ios 6 - no probs. Then iPhone 4s. There wasn't enough space for the iphone backup so the upgrade aborted. I freed up space, but it still aborted the next time. I installed the Lion OS upgrade, used dusk utiltiy and ONYX to clean stuff up. Many restarts etc. 'Other' is now consuming 136gb of HD space and I can't find the files that are doing it.
Any ideas greatly appreciated
cheers

I had exactly the same experience with my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2.
"Other" went up to 8 or 9 GB !
I reinstalled both from scratch and then it was ok. "Other" is now 0,87 GB on my iPhone. I hope it stays this way.

  • Since upgrading Iphone to iOS 5.1.1 it does not automatically use wifi internet when wifi is available. It has been draining my mobile data. I can only manually change settings with cellular data everytime I get home. Any other solutions?

    Since upgrading Iphone to iOS 5.1.1 it does not automatically divert to my wi-fi internet when wifi is available in my home. It has been draining my mobile data I  now have very high bills from my mobile carrier for high data usage. I can only manually change settings in the Network and turn cellular data on and off everytime I get home and leave the home. This is very frustrating as it wasn't a  problem until the upgrade. I have spoken to a few people that this has happened to. Has anyone found this problem and does anyone have other solutions?

    Please disregard this question. I'll submit a shorter and more direct question. Thanks.

  • IMessage and Memory issues since updating iPhone to ios 8.1.3

    I stupidly updated my iPhone 5S due to the idea of a wider variety of emojis and now everything has gone wrong. My iMessage keep disappearing and reappearing or not coming through at all on my phone but they're all still coming through perfectly fine on my Macbook. As well as the iMessage issue my iPhone keeps on insisting me memory is full even though I've deleted pretty much everything, nothing loads my screen just crashes then goes back to homepage...my patience is running low and by the looks of Twitter I'm not the only one facing these issue my only wonder now is what, if anything can I do?

    Greetings Nezza80,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error when viewing videos. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    When I upgraded iphone to ios 5 and all of my pics and videos are gone. I remember doing the upgrade through iTunes. I've looked in iPhoto and iTunes. Does anyone have any sugesstions of how I can get my pictures back?

    For some reason, did you fail to use the iPhone as intended?  Meaning copying the pictures and videos off the device regularly so that in the event the device is lost/stolen or simply fails, copies would exist on your computer?
    You can try restoring from the backup created prior to the update, but it is strongly recommended that pictures/videos be copied off the device on a regular basis.  Then any pics/vids that the user desires to keep on the device can be synced back via iTunes.

  • Since upgrading to latest iOS, my WLAN can not see many wifi networks,  my friends iPhones pick them up easily. What should I do?

    Since upgrading my 4s iPhone to the latest iOS , I now can not see many wi-fi locations beyond my home network.  Friends can find and connect to many wifi networks yet my iPhone does not even see them.  I can not recall prior to the upgrade whether in the settings whether turning on the wifi was shown as wifi or WLAN however the on/off is now WLAN.  Not sure what the difference is.  I totally reset the phone but no improvement.  Can any body help me?

    I have tried this however it did not make a difference.  I found another user on the support pages that has the same issue.

  • Very high memory usage since upgrading to 3.6.4

    Since upgrading 3 days ago FF pretty much runs up to 500mb as a floor and can get up to 800mb of memory. I had this issue with 3.5 but it vanished with 3.6 and was living in bliss as it rarely broke 250 mb.
    I haven't added any extensions nor made any other changes. Is anyone else experiencing this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Upgraded to 3.6.4

    Hello everyone.
    If you are having problems with RAM/CPU usage, do this:
    #run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe-mode] to disable all extensions, themes and plugins. If this fixes your issues, be them with RAM or CPU usage, then you know it's a problem with plugins, themes or extensions. Proceed to number 2. If safe-mode doesn't fix the issues, then read bellow, after this list;
    #update all extensions, themes and [https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ plugins] in your Firefox. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
    #disable all extensions, themes and plugins in your Firefox (not running safe-mode). Being certain that, as in safe-mode, the problems you're having have gone away, enable one plugin at a time. You should be certain that you WANT that plugin to be enabled, so keep your overall number of plugins as low as possible. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic plugin, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all plugins (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all.
    #enable one extension at a time. Again, be certain that you WANT that extension to be enabled, so keep your overall number of extensions as low as possible. Also, try the theme you want to have installed so see if that is what's causing the problem. When you encounter the problems, you know you've found a problematic extension/theme, so disable it for good. Keep enabling all your extensions (except problematic ones) until you've gone through them all;
    #you're done! You've fixed your problems with problematic add-ons. If you want to keep using those problematic add-ons, please contant their author for support.
    Ok, if disabling all extensions and plugins through safe-mode didn't work to bring Firefox's CPU and RAM usage to good levels, then you have different issue. The most likely scenario is that you have a third party software running on your computer that is messing with Firefox. Do as follows:
    #try reinstalling Firefox. No data will be lost. You can get the latest version for free at [http://www.getfirefox.com/ getfirefox.com]. If that doesn't fix the problem, proceed;
    #do a virus/malware check on your computer. If this doesn't fix it, proceed;
    #disable all software running in the background that you don't want to have running in the background (in windows, this is done by pressing WINDOWS+R in your keyboard, typing "msconfig" (without the commas) and pressing enter. Now, under the "Startup" tab, you can uncheck the software you don't want, and reboot your system for changes to take effect. If you're unsure of what software you want running, ask someone with more experience). If this doesn't fix your issues with Firefox, proceed;
    #check your firewall/antivirus/security suite for enabled functions/features that you don't want and/or may be conflicting with Firefox. You'll find that these features are most likely tied to Internet Security features, such as link scanners or URL checkers and the like. If you're not sure they are conflicting with Firefox, simply try to disable them to see whether or not that's true. As long as you don't browse the web with your antivirus completely off and your firewall completely turned off, there should be no problems. If this doesn't solve the issues, proceed to the following number;
    #check your operating system security options, mainly advanced options that are not configured by default. While it's very unlikely that this may be the cause of the problem (after all, it's the last item on the list), it's remotely possible. If this doesn't work, proceed to the following point;
    #update your modem/router software. There have been some reports that some modem/router software may cause Firefox and other browsers to loose performance and/or stability. If updating doesn't fix your issue, try other versions of the software, if possible. If you need support with this, contact your modem/router manufacturer. If this doesn't help, proceed;
    #clean up your OS registry, using appropriate software. Make sure you've followed my instructions correctly, but if this all doesn't work, [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles create a new Firefox profile] (this can be temporary, of course) and see if the issues persist. Report here the results, so we can help you further.

  • Stuck "Searching..." near WiFi after upgrading iPhone 4S' iOS to v7.1.

    Hello.
    I up(date/grad)ed my client's iPhone 4S' iOS 7.0.6 from the Internet (not through MacBook Pro's iTunes). After the successful up(grad/date), we noticed the top left says "Searching..." left of WiFi for a long time. Is this normal? WiFi Internet seems to work though. When is it supposed to go away? Everything else seems to be OK so far.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hello antdude,
    It sounds like you are seeing "Searching..." on your client's iPhone after an update.  I recommend the following steps:
    Symptoms
    iPhone may display one of the following symptoms in the status bar:
    Displays No Service or Searching in an area of good coverage
    Does not regain service when returning to an area of coverage
    ResolutionIf you encounter any of the above symptoms on your iPhone, try these steps to attempt to resolve the issue. Test after each step.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Remove the SIM card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
    Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About while connected to a Wi-Fi network. If an update is available, a prompt should appear soon. If Wi-Fi is not available, connect your device to iTunes.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you're still experiencing No Service issues, contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues that could cause this issue.

  • Face Time not working in iPhone or iPad since upgradation to vers. iOS 7.1.1

    I am in India and face time is not working since software upgradation to iOS 7.1.1 in my both iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
    Please help to restore this feature.

    It takes two to tango.
    To have FaceTime running all devices should have IOS 7.1.1 or IOS 6.1.6 for older devices.

  • Since upgrade to latest ios, everything is sooooo slow. Why has this happened?

    In Japan, using softbank.
    Since an upgrade to 7.0.4, everything, and I mena everything, I try to do on the iPad, is sooo slow. It's taken overy 20 minutes to download a 13.2mb app from the iStore.
    There is at least one hour a day where the internet simply doesn't connect at all.
    And before people chime in with 'this is a carrier issue', it wasn't ever a problem before the upgrade, and has been a consistent problem since the upgrade.

    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
