My 4GB says I have 2.1 GB of "Other" Content
All I have downloaded for my iPod is music, but it says I have 2.1 GB of "other" content that I can't seem to find. I cannot download any other songs to my iPod because of this other content. I have recently switched computers. I used my iPod on an old desktop that kept crashing. I would reset my desktop to factory settings, erasing my iPod. Every time, I just started over with new iTunes and music. A few months ago I was ejecting my iPod in a rush and didn't wait for it to disconnect before taking it. My iPod completely erased itself, every time I tried to add songs after that it would not accept them. I got a new laptop, so I decided to reset my iPod and try again. Everything was well until this "other" content showed up; it wasn't always there.
What could it be and how can I get rid of it?
If it helps at all, I have an old nano, I believe it was 2nd generation. It's more squared than most nanos and is a 4 GB. I've had it for a while now, probably around 4 years? Somewhere around that time.
Sorry, this is iPod Classic community forum, hence the poor response to you nano problem. You can post this in the Nano community. forum
However, your OTHER could be data, that was put there in DiskMode, so you got to get into Disk Mode, plug it to the PC and erase those data.
If you have an iPod nano (6th generation)
Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black. This should take about eight seconds.
When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
Additional Information
To return iPod to its normal operating state, reset it.
Have a nice day!

I have a new 16g nano. I have only added about 600 songs so far. It is telling me that I 4.47G of songs and 9.92G of other and only 3.297MB of space left. I have no tvshows, no movies, no pictures on the Ipod. How do I find out what the "other" is and get rid of it?
You most likely have some corrupted files in other. Restore it and resync.

ITunes says i have 15.4GB of photos on my iPhone even though my Photo Library is empty
Exactly what the title says. iTunes says i have 15.4GB of photos on my iPhone even though my Photo Library only has a couple of photos in it that obviously don't take up that much space. I tried unselecting "Sync Photos from..." in iTunes and syncing my iPhone that way, but nothing happened. The two photos remained in the Photo Library, and iTunes continues to say i have 15.4GB of photos. What gives?
You cannot.
There a re not duplicates on your iphone. Just as a song is in your music library and that exact same song can be accessed from a playlist, all photos synced to iphone are in the photo library and those exact same pics ( not duplicates) can be viewed from the folders/albums.
This is how Apple handles photos. -
My device says I have 3.4 GB in camera roll but I have only 100 pictures and 4 short videos. How can this be?
Videos! They can take up a lot of space.

Please help. I have roughly 900 songs and only 16 apps and I thought an 8gb iPod holds more than that; it however says I have no availability left.
Audio - 5.7GB
Photos - 0.02GB
Apps - 0.25 GB
Other - 0.53GB
Over capacity - 0.08GB
Total capacity - 6.39GB
Is there a way to fix this in any way? I don't want to have to buy a new iPod touch cos 32GB is too much and also too expensive for me -
I plugged my iphone 4s into my mac to sync it and it wouldnt allow me to do so and says I have no more gb available, but again I have nothing on my phone and have barely anything synced. More than 80% is filled with documents and data???
If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted. The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Both iTunes and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it. What is going on?
Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

When trying to update phone, a message says i have purchased items that have not been transferred to iTunes, what is this?
We need a bit more information to help.
Are you trying to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer? If so, did you make purchases through the iTunes Store or App Store on your iPhone, and fail to sync them with your computer? That is the likely meaning of what you are seeing. If this is true, the purchases would be added to iTunes in your computer before the upgrade proceeds. -
Why does itunes say i have over 700 photos on my phone but i really only have about 200?
I have a 4S running 8.1.1 and on itunes when i connect my phone it says i have 700+ pictures when in reality by camera roll has less than 200. I am connected to ICloud but I turned off all settings in the "Photos" section of the Icloud settings. I did sync all my photos that are on my phone on to IPhoto on my computer. Does ITunes count the pictures on IPhoto on my computer and my Camera roll to make over 700+ photos? That is the best guess i have and i think is unlikely. Help!

I have the Iphone 4 (not the 4s) and never had any problems. I share an ICloud account with my parents and sister, and now my iphone is saying I have no storage. I deleted all my pictures and a majority of my apps and it still won't let me take any pictures, purchase any apps, or update my phone because I have no storage. I don't know what to do.
Turn off iCloud on the device. Does it work now?
If it does, then it will be necessary to either stop sharing the iCloud account or purchase additional storage for it.
If turning off iCloud does not work, try basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide of reset, restart, restore. -
Ok, I have deleted EVERYTHING off my 16gb ipad. Photos, music, apps. All I have are the standard apps. It says I have used 11gb and only have 1.6 left. When I first bought it I had up to 4 movies and lots of apps, no problems. What's going on please!?
How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
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, 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.
