My iPad is saying I have 9.8GB of 'other' when I have hardly anything

Just bought the iPad 2. Everything updated fine. But for some reason it says I have 9.8GB of 'other'
I have cleaned everything off, but it still says the same in iTunes.
I have 16GB of apps on a 32G Pad.
Did not have this problem with the iPad 1.

I did a Restore as you suggested and everything is fine.
Thanks again.

  • In itunes, when i plug my 16gb iphone in, it says i have 5.8gb of "other" filled on my phone, what is "other" and how do i delete it so i can put more music on

    In itunes, when i plug my 16gb iphone in, it says i have 5.8gb of "other" filled on my phone, what is "other" and how do i delete it so i can put more music on

      I know by the date of this thread that I'm probably too late to help you but I had the same problem and just figured out what the "other" really was. It is application archives.
         I'll explain it if you're curious, if not just skip to the next paragraph. When you sync your device and it is trying to update apps it doesn't want to lose the old app while its doing that. So it uploads an "application archive" zip file. Those files normally get deleted once the sync is over, but If that sync gets interupted you have all those zip files there taking up space.
         You don't have to restore your iOS device and lose all your contacts, messages, app data. All you have to do is use a iOS device file browser and delete some old partial apps from incompleted syncs.
         I use "DiskAid" or "iFunBox" but you can use any app that can change the files on your device. I'm going to tell you how to do it using DiskAid.
         First download and install DiskAid
         Once it's installled open it and plug in your device.
         Click on your iPhone/iPod/iPad then on:
              Storage, then
              Media, then
              Application Archives,
         Then just delete all thos zip files! (they will usually have weird name such as "com.NameOfTheCompanyWhoMadeTheApp.NameOfTheApp.zip" (Except it would have the name of the company and the app instead.
         It won't change anything else on your device. It's perfectly safe.
         I hope this helps you as much as it helped me!

  • HT1386 Connected ipad to computer and downloaded 2 apps that aren't showing up on my ipad.  Says they are downloaded on itunes, but I don't see anything on my ipad. I have synced it several times. Am I missing something?

    Connected ipad to computer with usb and downloaded 2 apps that aren't showing up on my ipad.  Says they are downloaded on itunes, but I don't see anything on my ipad. Tried downloading AGAIN and it says the same thing. Downloaded but don't see them on the ipad. I have synced it several times. Am I missing something?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted?

    why does it say im using 3.8gb of mail when my mail is deleted< yes even the trash

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • HT1689 Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Why does my ipad always says CANNOT CONNECT TO ITUNES STORE even when i got all the internet connections needed?

    Check to make sure you don't have your restrictions turned on, which may be preventing your access to iTunes.
    Tap on the settings icon, then tap General, then check to see if you have restrictions turned to ON.  If so turn it off.

    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.

  • HT2515 My ichat says "computer does not support video chat" when i have a built in camera. what can i do?

    My ichat says "computer does not support video chat" when i have a built in camera. what can i do?

    Hi,
    In iChat open the Connection Doctor (Video menu) and the the Capabilities option
    Are all items showing Green ?
    Try restarting iChat (It re-reads the computers Ability at each launch)
    If that does not work try restarting the Computer.
    Make sure that in iChat menu > Preference > Video Section the Bandwidth Limit is not set to 100kbps (this is too Low for 1-1 video chats)
    Do a Speed test
    "Real World" speeds need at least 256kbps both up and down.
    Check the System Profiler is "seeing" the camera.
    It will be in Hardware > USB

    I have tried connecting my email account to my iPad, had help from my phone company/server tech support.  Everything is correct in the advanced settings...but my iPad STILL says my user name &amp; password are incorrect.  Any other suggestions?

    I interesting note:
    MAILBIRD uses port 993 for incoming mail but THUNDERBIRD uses port 143
    When uses 143, it kept " checking capabilities...."
    then I changed to port 993 (like in MAILBIRD), it said "connected to.....mail," but then "timed out"
    Any idea please???? help....extremely frustrated...

  • My phone's Mia, I go to find my iPhone from my iPad, it says locator has been disabled.  But when I send a message it says message sent?  I assume my battery is dead, but if it is would it still say msg sent?or device notconnected 2 wifi

    My  iPhone 4 has disappeared and I know its batttery had died, and i probably put it down in the house, but its weird bc i should have found it by now-it's been  a week.  When I go to 'findmyphone' from iPad it says 'location services disabled' but I know I did not disable it bc I intentially like to have the option to locatevit since my kids are sticky fingered and snag it when I'm not looking a lot.     I've tried sending messages to it and  dinging it but i can't hear it ( Im guessing bc it's off) but it does says messages sent.  Does that mean it is on and connected to the network?  ?  I would have thought if it were off then, it would say phone is off; not connected to wifi etc message cannot be sent...trying to decide if someone (like cleaning lady) might have snagged it or if I keep sending messages to a dead phone that no one is getting?  Help!

    Okay, you need to contact support definitely about what's going on. Here is a form that will send an e-mail into support for you:

    As far as the prices, the difference is likely the laptop version is the SD version and the iPad one is available in HD. That's the only reason you'll see a price difference. It has nothing to do with the device with movies/movie rentals. Apps yes, these no.
