Memory used by "other" grows to 1,3GB : how do I get rid of it

Hi ,
memory used by "other" grows to 1,3GB : how do I get rid of it ? Where does ist come from ?
soms say it will reappear some days after Restoring......
Iphone 4 (no JB)
IOS 6.0.1
"32"GB Memory
26,4GB Music (selected)
0,14GB Photo
0,22GB Apps
1,3GB Other
0,44GB free!
No Mails , just 2 Calendars (not more than 30 days back),
Iphone about 1 week go after Update to 6.0.1 ( took more than 1 hour... )
Using PWsafe APP : not restoring from an older Backup might lead to loss of PW-Safe contents?
Who can help?
Thanks
P.M.

I hope Apple can fix the problem somehow ....... I just restored my Iphone again:
Pic no1 : Iphone restored with IOS before! contents are restored
Pic no2 : after all contents ( Apps & Music) have been restored
I have found another thread concerning "other" memory : but if I restore without media contents and apps my PW-Safe information might get lost ....and the problem will still return......
Any Ideas ? maybe iExplorer?
Regards
P.M.

Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
/Library/Application Support/Conduit
/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
Library/Application support/conduit plugins
Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

Since I synced my ipad to my iMac I have duplicate photos appearing in the Photo section on my iPad and one can be trashed but the other one can't. How can I get rid of the ones without the trashcan?

I have 3.5 gigs of "other" what is it and how do i get rid of it?

On my itunes when my iphone is pluged in it says that i have now 3.9 gigs of "other" what is it and how do i get rid of it?

Other is data that does not fit into the rest of the catergories listed on the summary tab. This includes user data and app settings/data.
3.5 GB is a lot... and typically indicates corruption.
You can try a reset of the device and re-syncing, sometime this will clear it up... but typically the resolution is to restore the device from backup first. If that doesn't resolve a restore as new will.
Other should be in the range of 300-800mb.

Why do i have so much other on my phone and how do i get rid of it

why do i have so much other on my phone and how do i get rid of it

Other is usually around 1 GB...
A ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

The problem is that I can not verify her id on message and on Facetime
has that to do that the ipad has no tel number of course?? Should I leave my id number on her iPad ??
That isn't due to not having a phone number on her iPad. You can use FaceTime with any iPad using an email address as the "phone number". And if her iPad isn't a first generation iPad, if she uses the same Apple ID for FaceTime on both her iPhone and iPad, her iPhone number can be used as well (see iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage).
If her iPad is not verifying her Apple ID for FaceTime it's probably because the Apple servers are busy. Keep trying and it should verify. If you continue to have problems with this, look through the troubleshooting steps here: iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation.

What is "other" under usage data and how do I get rid of it?

I was recently given a used iPad 3rd generation 16GB A1416 with IOS 7.1.2. I set up my own Apple ID and then I deleted all existing apps, photos, movies, messages, reminders, etc to make room in storage and then downloaded 4 new apps for my granddaughter that total about 1.7GB. Usage data shows that I now only have approximately 4GB left. When I sync to iTunes to view usage info online it shows the 1.7GB used for apps and it then shows approximately 7.7
GB under "other." What is OTHER and how do I delete it? This is my first Apple product and my first tablet so I really need a little help here. Thanks for any info you can supply.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

I have 5.43gb of storage on my iphone taken up by other, what is this and how can i get rid of it?

My iPhone is 16gb and i have no music, 500ish photos, and about 10 apps I had to delete everything off it because i couldn't take any photos because i had no space! How do i get rid of the storage other is taking up?

I would probably suggest backing up them photos to your computer and then performing a restore on the phone which will wipe everything off and start again.
Instructions for restore can be found here:

TS1503 Why do I have so much "other" space filled up and how do I get rid of it?

When I plug my phone into my computer my "other" field is taking up 9.3 GB of my space on my phone. How do I get rid of it?! And, what is it even??

This indicates corrupt files. A restore should resolve.

"GadgetTrak" would like to use your current location... How do I get ride of GadgetTrak?

I'm running Yosemite 10.10 on a 2011 MacBook Pro. I upgraded to Yosemite with no problem then cleaned out my extensions including, in error, GadgetTrak's preferences pane. Now I get the above request three or four times each session. Any ideas how to get rid of it. Oddly,I'm no longer subscribing to GadgetTrak.

Well, I have all locations services disabled and have only occasionally gotten a prompt from an app which disappeared permanently after I unchecked it. You must be running an app that requires it, such as a phone or other idevice app or some setting in Facebook (I don't use Facebook, so I can't help with that). I'd check with Facebook support (if there is such a thing).

HT1338 I keep getting running out of disk space. when I check I have a large amount of stuff on yellow called other what is it and how do I get rid of it ?

I am getting a full disk message.
When I check I have a large amount of material described as Other and is coded yellow on the information bar.

"Other" simply means anything that isn't recognised as music, video, images, software (apps) or a backup. So, PDFs, .doc files, text files, disk images yadda yadda yadda. All sorts of things.
If you want to get an idea of what's taking up space on your drive, try GrandPerspective.

I just updated to iOS6 and now it filled almost 30 gb with "other." What happened, and how do I get rid of the "other."

Please help me figure out what the extra 30gb is and how to delete it.

The updated created corrupted files.
First try restoring from backup. That usually works
Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod

I have a huge amount of my memory used by 'other' than photos and music - to my knowledge, there is nothing there apart from a few songs and photos and 5 podcasts. What could it be? How could I get rid of this 'other' stuff and get the memory back?
