New iOS update resulted in 6GB of "Other"

When I updated my iPhone software last week, suddenly my "Other" category jumped from virtually nothing to over 6GB (meaning, the yellow bar designated as "other", as opposed to the space taken up by Music, Photos...etc). Previously the "Other" category was just a sliver, maybe under 100 meg. I never really even paid attention. I have no idea what is taking up all the extra space and I had to delete a ton of my content. Any ideas?

I've synced my phone several times since the initial issue, trying to fix it. I assume that in doing so, I eliminated the option to restore from my most recent backup? Assuming I need to restore as a new device - dumb question, but will I lose all of my progress in games on my device (e.g. Angry Birds)? I know it's the least of my issues but am curious before I move forward. Thanks!

Trying to connect Digital AV Adapter to watch a movie from iPad to TV. Asking to disconnect AirPlay and mirroring. No button to do so. Is this a result of the new iOS update? Anyone have a solution?

Trying to connect my Digital AV Adapter to watch Netflex or Amazon Prime movie from IPad to TV and asking to disconnect AirPlay & mirroring. I do not have Air Play and there is no way to do this. Anyone have a solution? Is this a result of the new iOS update? Thank you.

Try looking in the control panel by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.

After updating my IOS TO 8.1 (12B411) on 10/23/14, I went to update my blood sugar level in the IHealth app. And now after the new IOS update I'm unable to find the blood glucose option in the IHealth app. Did Apple remove it or just mess up AGAIN?

Apple removed blood glucose until further notice. The reason behind this is that it gave a distorted picture in countries where the medical world used other measuring units. I suspect it will be available again in a future update.

I want to uninstall the new iOS update. can somebody please help?

I have a son that is disabled and he LOVES youtube. He has learned a lot navigating through the app. The new iOS update does not support that app. Why?? i dont know but I wish I never updated. I have no idea how to uninstall the update. Can somebody PLEASE help me??!!! Thank you so much!!

Just go to YouTube.com in safari and view the content that way. Create a shortcut on the home screen so you do not bleed to type in the address.

IOS is the operating system for an iPhone, or an iPad, I assume you mean OSX as this is a Mac forum.
What version did you update from, and to.

A new iOS update and another new battery issue on the iPhone 5

Has anyone else contacted Apple support and been given te same old "solutions" on the battery issues?
1) Turn off location services.
2) Turn off background app updates.
3) Restore as a new device.
These solutions turn a smartphone into a dumb-phone. I love my iPhone but with every new iOS update, the battery becomes incredibly unreliable. Has anyone found a solution that does not kill the iPhone's functionality?

You can try a soft-reset of pressing and holding both the home and sleep buttons for 10 to 15 seconds so that it reboots, but you are likely to get the same screen. If it does then it will need to be connected to a computer's iTunes so that it can be reset back to factory defaults - do you have a friend with a computer with iTunes installed on it, or is there an Apple store nearby that you could try going to (if there is then preferably make a Genius Bar appointment at it, or don't go at a busy time) ?
Has she been backing up to the cloud ? If she has then she should be able to restore to that. If not then what she can redownload for free from the stores will show in the Purchased tabs in the store apps.

No badge alert on setting icon when the new ios update is released

Hi all,
I use iphone 5. I found that a badge is not shown on the setting icon when a new ios update is released. Only way letting me know that there is an update is manual check update, i.e. go to setting->general->software update. I think, normally, the badge should present automatically on the setting icon everytime the update is released. Does anyone find this problem? How to solve this?
Thanks,

I have the exact same problem. Been searching Google for answers but have found none :-(
I upgraded from an iPhone 4s to 5 recently. I had the Settings badge show up right after I got the phone, but after I got home and did a restore from backup to get my 4s stuff over to the 5, then no more badge notification.
I can't find any settings anywhere to help with this.
Anybody got any suggestions/thoughts/fixes/etc?

I have a first generation ipad that I gave to my father. He wants to download a few things and it says that he can't because he needs the new ios update. When I try to download it it says that I can't. Is the older version IPADS unable to update?

I have a first generation IPad and it won't let me download unless I update to the new ios system. When I go to do that it won't let me do that either. What advise can you offer? Thanks

Maybe a little more info would be helpful. How are you trying to update the iPad? What model iPad it is and what version of the iOS is on it now?

Your iOS version is probably too old to support software update. You must update using iTunes on your computer.
Make sure your iTunes on the computer is current. Plug your iPhone into iTunes. Let it sync. Then choose "Check for Updates..." from the iPhone's summary tab in iTunes. That should od it for you.

New iOS update

I have 2 iPhone 4's in my family and the new iOS 7.0.6 update would not install on one of them. Any thoughts...

From Apple:
"Note: iPhone has one speaker, which is adjacent to the dock connector. On iPhone 4, the speaker is to the right of the dock connector. On earlier iPhone models, the speaker is to the left of the dock connector."

Try connecting it to iTunes in recovery mode and restoring it. This article has instructions for placing the iPod Touch into recovery mode.
