My iPhone now has 14.37gb of other data.

My iPhone now has 14.37gb of other data. That's almost 50% of the drive. 50%!!!
I ask the geniuses at Apple to have this fixed ASAP.
I cannot believe the ineptness. This problem has plagued iPhone users for too long.
Now after being an iPhone user since the first version, 2 versions of iPad and owner of both iMac
and Macbook Pros, I must consider the move to Samsung.
Apple - get your act together!!!!

There's more and likely a software conflict in your phone. The Other contains the informaiton for your software. Restore your device in iTunes and set it up as new WITHOUT restoring a backup.

You can reduce the size to normal, which is about 1GB, by restoring the phone.
Backing Up, updating, and restoring your iPhone and iPod touch software
The size of this part can increase when something goes wrong during a sync, or some files can't be read anymore by iTunes.

My 16GB iPhone 4S has 4.40GB of "other" file. What does this include and how do I reduce it? Kindly help me.

Text messages, MMS messages, email, music catalog, operating system settings, safari cache, siri cache, Genius data (if enabled), game center data -- esentially everything on your phone that isn't explicitely listed in the bar chart at the bottom of iTunes on your computer.
Sometimes there is also data corruption on the phone that ends up in Other. To get rid if it try restoring the phone with iTunes. If that makes no difference the corruption is in your backup; restore again as a new phone, then add content back.

Go into the settings and the app store. there you'll see the options to automatially update purchases. You can turn it off for music or other content. That should keep things from automatically downloading to both your devices.

I restored my ipod and i now have 35.66GB of other data on my ipod and it only sinked my music that i bought on itunes how do i fix this?

I restored my ipod and i now have 35.66GB of other data on my ipod and it only sinked my music that i bought on itunes how do i fix this? i have an ipod 5 with ios 7.1.2. ive tried restarting my computer restarting my ipod and restoring it. i also tried to delete apps nothing works.

This happened to me with the same device. I wouldn't worry about having it just say other as that is just information, if you really need to know what is using the most of your device's storage to to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage and that will tell you what apps are using in terms of your storage. Besides that, "other" is just iTunes knowing that there is information, how much there is, just not what it is. So syncing your device a few times and letting it stay plugged in should allow iTunes to recognize what information is on your iPod. Hope I could help!

I have a brand new 8gb iPod touch 4g which has 0.43gb of other data right out of the box.

I have a brand new 8gb iPod touch 4g which has 0.43gb of other data before I've even put anything on it.I appreciate the OS takes up about 1.5gb, but this is in addition to that. There is absolutely nothing on the iPod and I've already done a factory reset.
The amount of yellow "other" data seems to go up and down if I click sync (although it is not syncing anything). There is no other data on the device. Is this normal?

That is about right. Normally it is about 1/2 GB. If can grow because of corrupt files. Then it is necessary to restore the iPod sometimes from backup works but sometimes a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required. The other is made of ite items that do not fit the other categories listed.

Iphone Now and then later in other Countries?

If I were to buy an iPhone now from the States and then a year or two later leave the country, I am wondering if I can use the iPhone on a carrier that carries the iPhone? Are iphones registered to a particular country or something?
How about business trips out of the country? I am probably not gonna make any direct calls from my US line.
Keep in mind that I'll use a carrier that's carrying the iPhone in other countries.

The iphone is locked to AT&T and cannot be used with a SIM card from any other provider.
You would have to pay for an international roaming plan from AT&T.

Iphone 6 has 33 gig of 'other' when viewed in itunes.

IPhone has 33 gig of 'Other' when viewed in iTunes. i have checked apps and the data used within them and can not find where all this space is being used up
anyone have ideas?
Many thanks Phil

You have a corrupt iOS installation
Restore as new and add back up with expectation the corruption is in the backup somewhere
If that is the case then Restore as new and recreate

After upgrading to iOS 5, my iPhone won't sync to iTunes and has 3 GB or "other" data

After none of my music would play yesteday, and I wasn't able to sync my phone, I decided to restore my phone and see if that helped. All it did, was wipe everything except for that 3 GB or "other" data that I don't understand. And now, I can't do anything because I can't sync my phone to iTunes, or get all of my info from iCloud.

I am having this same issue.

Friend gave me used iphone3-we used it for 6 mos -now when we synced it to PC, our used iphone now has the contents of our existing iPod - lost everything that was on our used iphone!! How to get it all back (we only care about home videos/photos). Help

A friend gave us her used iphone. We used it to take home videos and photos, and now that we synced it to our PC it has lost everything on it, and it has been replaced with the contents of our already existing iPod. In other words, all our music, photos and apps that were on our existing itunes account (used with our IPOD) etc, have been put into this used iPhone. Is there any way to get back all that stuff (mainly just want our home videos and photos back!!) Where on earth are they? Are they stored somewhere on my PC? I feel so dumb for syncing it now, and very sad for having lost my precious videos of my kids.
Thanks for helping!

kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

Just updated 10.5 now has location service and others-IOS-ICLOUD etc. If I hit agree will there be charges I can't find a straight answer. Now I just use my 3 gen. IPOD touch for music and photos. Thanks to all. Tom

The ipod touch wants me to chose or decline these new features. They sound good but I don't want to get any extra charges. Now use for music and phjotos only. Don't want to decline if these are worth while. Thanks to all. Tom Toucch is 3 gen

Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
Thanks
