OTHER category for iTouch capacity

What is all included in the OTHER category capacity wise on an iTouch? it says i have 3.4GB of OTHER data and I have no idea as to what i have to get rid of.

This indicates a corrupt file. A restore should resolve.
"Other" should have 400 - 800 MB or so - contacts/data/calendar/favorites/recents/voicemail/etc.

  • What exactly is consists of the "other" category in the capacity bar at the bottom of the sync window?

    Not actually, his statement is to not worry about what is in Other. That is opposite from iOS, if you have 8GB of other you most likely have corrupted files on your iPhone and you need to Restore to eliminate them.

  • What is stored in the other category for space?

    I am showing a lot of space consumed under the other category when using iTunes.  What is consuming all this space?

    Hello ih82work
    Other is comprised of Settings, Siri voices, and other system data is what is typically stored there. Also keep in mind that it may have data that may have been partially download or synced across of iTunes and potentially interrupted.

  • What is the "other" category in the capacity bar?

    With my ipod plugged into the computer, itunes says I have 4.5 GB of "other" files.  What is this?  I deleted off a ton of things, but nothing affects the other category.  I had been trying out zipping a large video file, but I have deleted the video and removed the zipping app.  Nothing has changed.  I had considered restoring my ipod, but then itunes tells me it will update to the most recent software update, which is 5.1.1 .  I haven't done this update because the updates consists of a lot of photo stuff which I don't want, and it's 1GB  I only have an 8GB ipod, I don't want to waste an entire 1 GB on the stupid update for stuff I don't want.  Is there any way to delete this other stuff without restoring?

    Well for one thing, I only have a 8GB ipod, so the update is going to take up 1/8 of my space.  Also there are a lot of things in the update that I don't need.  Here's the list:
    Japanese language support for Siri (availability may be limited during initial rollout)
    Photos can now be deleted from Photo Stream
    Camera shortcut now always visible on Lock Screen for iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (4th generation)
    Camera face detection now highlights all detected faces
    Redesigned Camera app for iPad
    Genius Mixes and Genius playlists for iTunes Match subscribers
    Audio for TV shows and movies on iPad optimized to sound louder and clearer
    Podcast controls for playback speed and a 30 second rewind for iPad
    Updated AT&T network indicator
    Addresses bugs affecting battery life
    Fixes an issue that occasionally caused audio to drop for outgoing calls
    I'm not Japanese, so I don't need that.  There are a bunch of camera updates, and I only use the camera for random snapshots.  I don't use it for TV shows and movies, there's not enough space. 

  • MacBook Pro - Storage Q about the "Other" category for GB

    I have a MacBook Pro with 128 GB storage capacity.
    On it... I have
    20 Gb - Audio
    9 Gb - Movies
    5.6 Gb - Photos
    6 Gb - Apps
    0 Gb - Backup
    47 Gb - OTHER
    This leaves 32.41 Gb free.
    My question is...How do I find out why is OTHER at 47? What is in there that is taking up over 1/3 of my storage space? How or where can I look for this, or clean it up?
    Thanks for any help.

  • Why does restoring my iPhone not resolve my 'other' category issue?! HELP PLEASE

    I DON'T UNDERSTAND AND AM GETTING INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED.
    My 'other' category for my iphone is 8.7GB!!!! WHY?! WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?!
    i restored my phone twice and absolutely nothing happened.
    HELP PLEASE!!!!!! :'(

    If it's backed up, it won't be gone. 
    Be sure you've transferred all iTunes media purchased on your phone into your computer's iTunes library.
    Make sure you're synching your contacts with a cloud service or your computer's contact manager app.
    Make sure you've imported all pictures taken by the iPhone into your computer.
    You should be good to go.

  • Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet.

    Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet. What does the "other" category consist of and how can I fix this?

    The iPad was sealed in the box when I got it. It had the plastic screen protector wrapped all around it and when I powered it on for the first time it displayed the "connect to iTunes for setup" message displayed. The only other thing I can think of is if the person I bought it from had ordered it through Verizon on and the iPad was set up on a number on his pre-existing verizon account. My question is should I just keep using it and consider myself lucky? Since there is no way for Verizon to charge me for the usage because I never signed a contract. I realize that if it is on the account belonging to the person I bought it from, they will eventually figure this out and shut it off. But I might as well use it in the meantime right?

  • Why would my other category suddenly jump to over capacity?

    why would my other category suddenly jump to over capacity?

    I'm in the process of updating an iPod Touch and iPad2 to IOS5.  I had the exact same thing happen in BOTH cases!  I've never experienced it before. 
    The fix, in both cases, is as Ingo2711 stated - restore the device.  And boy, has that been painful (as in taking several hours for each device). 
    While I accept that this problem has occured prior to IOS5 installs, I find it very odd that it occured to me on BOTH IOS5 installs.  Either there is something common to both my devices (an application perhaps?) that cased it or something about the IOS5 upgrade that makes this problem more likely. 
    Someone with a lot more knoweldge than I have would need to look at it to figure out what's going on.  I'll just be happy to have this issue behind me and hopefully, not see it again!

  • When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos.

    I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos. I deleted a .3 GB video and the tried to put it back on. Now it says the memory is full. It seems to not release memory once something is deleted.

    You need to restore your iPad now since "other" continues to grow with each sync. Something got corrupted when you were syncing and that is what probably caused this. This will explain how to restore.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    You can restore from a backup at the very end of the process - but if you restore from the backup and then the problem does not go away, you will have to restore to factory settings and then add all of your content back onto the device.
    BTW ... Other contains all of your app data, bookmarks, contacts, emails, text messages, some game save data and things of that nature.

  • Display a label for every other category on a graph

    I have a line graph created in Illustrator with years on the horizontal axis (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, etc.). There is data for each year that will be plotted on the line, however I would only like to display every other year (1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, etc.). Is there a way to show every other year on the horizontal axis.

    I can't leave the years out because there is data for those years. In Excel, there is an option to 1 display a label for every category, 2 to display a label for every other category, 3 to display a label for every third category. How do you do it in Illustrator. My table looks something like this but begins in 1980.
    "2001"
    52
    "2002"
    56
    "2003"
    81
