My IPhone 4S has 9GB of "other" space used.  How do I determine what "other" is.  I need to make space to upgrade my phone to IOS 8.1.1

I have a IPhone 4S running IOS 7.1.2.  I want to upgrade to IOS 8.1.1.  I have 2 GB of free space.  I have 9GB of "other" space used.  How do I determine what "other" is and how do I delete some of it to make room to upgrade?

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?

  • My daughter's iPhone 3gs has just been replaced by Apple. When she tried to restore her backup files she was told to upgrade to itunes 10, but she can't because her Macbook is too old to run it. What do we need to do?

    My daughter's iPhone 3gs has just been replaced by Apple. When she tried to restore her backup files she was told to upgrade to itunes 10, but she can't because her Macbook is too old to run it. What do we need to do to get all her stuff onto the new phone?

    Here's what I'd do, go back to the Apple store, take the phone & computer. Ask the geniuses how to fix this since they replaced the phone. You never know, they may just update the computer for free...its happened before...can't gurantee it will happen for you, but worth a try.
    Otherwise, you're looking at purchasing a retail copy of Leopard, however if her computer can handle Snow Leopard you can purchase the $29 upgrade disk & install a full copy of SL.

    The phone may be stuck in headset mode. Rapidly plug and unplug a headset 10x to free up the switch inside the jack.

    They have not. He probably moved them by mistake to another Home page or put it in a folder.
    Try Settings>>General>>Reset>>>Reset Home Screen Layout.

    You need to put the headset into pairing mode. The phone should then see it even though you have done the forget this device.

    While trying to sync iPhone to iTunes, iTunes is stuck on step 3 of 4 "Determining what apps to sync".  What should I do?

    Give it a lot of time.  If it just doesn't move on, then click the small disconnect icon in the left panel of itunes and reconnect and try again.

  • How do I determine what is using the data on my iphone 5c?

    In looking at our bill we have one person that is using almost triple the amount of data that the other users are, and we need to figure out exactly what it is that is eating all of the data on his phone as he doesn't have any clue what it could be. Any help to determine what is using the data on an iphone 5c?

        emilyki, look no further. We can help you look into this data usage issue. First of all, we recommend that you disable data for a few applications on that iPhone 5C device to ensure that the applications are not depleting data from your allowance when not in use. You can do this by tapping Settings>Cellular>Scroll down to all the downloaded applications and disable data for applications.
    Additionally, you also have the option of disabling data in Settings>Cellular when you're not using data or connected to Wi-Fi.
    Lastly, you may view the data usage sessions for that line online at My Verizon to determine when data is used the most. http://bit.ly/xB4iTc Keep us posted.

  • How do I determine what workstations my iPad has been connected to?

    Hi, as a workaround to a different issue I'm presented with (preventing data from being copied from an iPad to an unauthorized pc), I'm trying to find a way within the iPads logfiles to determine what the device has been connected to? The devices have had all wireless capability disabled so can only connect via USB.
    Thanks

    There are log reading apps.
    I did find apps in the app store to read console logs.  I stopped looking after finding these two:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/consuela/id481121105?mt=8
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/device-log-viewer/id489202498?mt=8
    In supervised mode should block connection to random pc.
    There are three ownership models:   
        *    Personal
        *    Institution
        *    Layered. combines personal & institution.
    Watch this apple video on layered ownership.  It education based, but that's OK.

  • My iphone 3gs has lots of 'other' space taken up and is running low on battery very quickly since I installed IOS 5

    Are there any fixes or solutions to these IOS 5 issues?

    I'm not sure to whom you think you're addressing.....
    We're users on this forum, just like you.  We're not Apple support.
    As far as your problem is concerned, have you done the steps recommended in the user guide:  restart?  reset?  restore?
    If you've done that and you still have the problem, bring the phone into Apple for evaluation.  If there's a problem with the phone, it will be replaced. 

  • IPhone 'Audio' has converted to 'Other'

    Hello,
    I recently (yesterday) updated my iPhone 4S to version 8.1.2. I was very reluctant to update such an old device to such new hardware, but I finally took the plunge after not being able to download or use many applications anymore.
    Afterward, aside from running slow, as expected, the only big issue was that my music would not play. When I clicked on a song, instead of playing, it would shuffle very quickly through all of my songs, as though each song was less than a second long. I suspected that my music files were missing and/or corrupted. So I removed all of my music by syncing, hoping to re-add the music again and all would be well.
    Unfortunately, the after removing the music, the 'Other' category was suddenly taking up around 8.5 GB, whereas before I had roughly 2.5 GB in 'Other'. My music is about 6 GB worth, so I suspect that the music has somehow been converted from 'Audio' files to 'Other'.
    Now I have no music on my iPhone and about 6 GB of seemingly nothing taking up the remainder of my space. Any thoughts on how I can remove this useless memory? I have already ran "PhoneClean Pro", which removed about 300-400 MB or so, but I believe this to be unrelated data.
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm having a very similar problem. I've got an iPhone 6 and am also running 8.1.2. When I synced my phone this morning, all of my music (except songs I purchased through iTunes, which is only about 1.3 GB worth) was removed. However, there is now 38.2 GB of 'other' on my phone (taking up most of my 56 GB of storage space), which is presume is my music still sitting there, even though I can't access it.
    I've tried several things to get rid of this big lump of useless data, including:
    1) Unchecking and then re-checking 'sync music'
    2) Restoring my phone from the iTunes backup
    3) Resetting my phone by holding down the sleep and home buttons
    4) Restarting iTunes
    So far, nothing's worked.
