Other in memory capacity

When you open iTunes and look at the bottom of the screen, you seen your memory capacity. I have the 8GB with all the updated patches. I look and see my audio, video, photos allocation but there is about 240MB allowcated to "other" What is this and how do I get rid of it.

That can be caused by a corruption of files, possibly in a previous sync. What you need to do is reset the phone, and if that doesn't do it, then a restore. That will fix the incorrect reading in "Other".
Hope this answers your question.

  • I have reached full memory capacity on my 500GB Time Capsule. I am considering purchasing a 2TB Time Capsule. Do I need to resave all existing data on the new hard drive or can I start afresh? Or can I link both time capsules to operate independantly?

    Hi,
    I  have reached full memory capacity on my 500GB Time Capsule. I am considering purchasing a 2TB Time Capsule.
    a) Do I need to resave all existing data on the new hard drive or can I start afresh?
    b) Or can I link both time capsules to operate independantly?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    You may not need to buy a new Time Capsule. 
    You can connect a USB drive to the Time Capsule, and use it in addition to the TC's internal HD.  You may need a powered USB hub as well.
    Exactly what is on your TC?  If it's only Time Machine backups, you may not need to do anything -- Time Machine will delete the oldest backup(s) automatically when it needs room for new ones.  But if you have more than about 250 GB on your internal HD, that 500 GB may not be large enough to keep backups long enough.
    If you have other data on the TC's internal HD, besides your backups, you could back up to the external HD and use the internal for the other data, or vice-versa.  But TM backups cannot "span" two drives, and you shouldn't mix backups and other data on the TC's internal HD.

  • Why is the memory capacity of a digital camera's memory card relevant?

    Hi All,
    I'm new to all this . I have a question "Why is the memory capcity of a digital camera's memory card relevant?"
    Thanks
    Maggie

    Why is the memory capcity of a digital camera's memory card relevant?
    It is not to Photoshop.
    But to the photographer it is extremely relevant.  It determines how many images (influenced by "quality") your camera can hold before running out of room to store pictures. A larger memory capacity for your camera will allow you to take and store more and/or higher quality images.
    ("Quality" in this case is determined by  image size- the number of pixels making up the image in your camera and image "compression" -  how much JPG formatting will effect your image.)
    (attempted analogy coming... watch out!)
    Think of the camera memory card as a linen closet to store down pillows. A small closet you can store 10 pillows on a shelf. Double the size of the closet and you can store 20 down pillows.
    You also have the choice to stuff the down pillows in small sacks, allowing you to store even more pillows in the closet. The problem is after cramming the down pillows into the small container, they come out battered and not as nice as they were before storage.
    Linen Closet = Memory Card
    Down Pillows = images
    Small sacks to stuff pillows into = JPG compression.
    (and to add this this questionable analogy... the better down pillows have more feathers, and take up more room in the linen closet)
    Feathers = pixels

  • Cleaning Out "Other" in the Capacity Bar

    I'vre here that the "Other" in the Capacity Bar in Itunes contains e-mails, calendar appointments, etc.  Is there a way to clrean this out and get some of
    the memory back?  I donm't store e-mails, but I notice that calendar appointments from last year are still in the calendar.  Any advice would be appreciated.

    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • MacBook Air at memory capacity?!

    Just bought a new Air and used Migration Assistant to transfer data from my old Pro. Both computers have same memory capacity, but now my Air is showing that it's nearly at capacity. How is this possible? My pro wasn't even close to at capacity. Did Migration Assistant double install the OS? HELP!

  • IPS memory capacity & upgrade options

    i can't find any document showing the memory capacity of the cisco ips 4250 and any upgrading capabilities

    Cisco IOS IPS can support more than 1600 signatures, a number that is beyond the memory capacity of routers to accept. The SDFs have been developed as a convenient way to select and load the most vital signatures. Currently you can choose from three SDFs; they vary in size to enable you to select an SDF file according to the DRAM capacity of your routers. The available choices follow:

  • Phone memory capacity

    In technical specification it is stated that phone has 8,0 Gt memory capacity. However when I add up the capacity in use and available free capacity I just get 7,3 Gt capacity. What happened to the missing 0,7 Gt capacity. Same thing happened, when I added up all the announced separate capacities in use. I got some 4.44Gt in use. However the phone reports 6,79 Gt in use. Difference is some 2,35Gt capacity.
    Do I have some extra programs in my phone like spy programs or viruses?

    Do you own a computer? What is the advertised size of the hard drive? What is the size indicated before and after installing the Operating System? It is just the same on any storage, even on a thumb/flash drive.

  • WTK Memory capacity

    What is the current memory capacity if wtk 2.2?? How can we handle out of memory error??

    I dont remeber the exact value , but you can change the ammount of memory for the emulator from the WTK-> prefrences -> storage-> heap size
    this will emulate a device with the ammount of memory you just specified.
    how to handel out of memory1- the keyword"new" is not that simple to use( kep that in mind)
    2- srround the most suspected memory consumer code with try and catch , to catch OutOfMemoryError. ( please note this is not Exception , this is error)
    3- after catching the erroe run gc(), to clean up some resource.
    4- gc() is not that cheap to call , so call it when u just released a heavy ass object and u about to create new heavier ass one.
    finally
    good code will be out of memory safe. ,btu bad code not only OutOfMemoryError generator , but also a main cause of the phone restart issue

  • How important is memory capacity?

    just wondering how many people here who have 16GB iphones use anything close to the full memoryof the phone?
    Id like to buy an iPhone on pay as you go in the UK, but I think the price is really too high.
    Im hoping that when the next updates come it might be possible to pick up a cheaper outgoing 8Gb model... just a bit worried about the smaller memory capacity.
    Given it now has 3G.... (not quite sure how truthful it is to say its got "broadband speeds") but how true is it to say the phone memory is getting more irrelevant in the sense you have access to the net, and potentially "unlimited storage"? in fact wasnt there a company that was specifically advertising online storage that you can access with the iphone?
    I spose the onboard phone memory will be needed for App and itunes storage? or are there options for taking those storage requirements online and thus outside the phone, and accessing them when needed?
    sorry for all the questions!

    but how true is it to say the phone memory is getting more irrelevant in the sense you have access to the net, and potentially "unlimited storage"?
    Not really true - the things that would take up the most space, i.e. music and videos, cannot be streamed to your iPhone (with the exception of many YouTube videos).
    I spose the onboard phone memory will be needed for App and itunes storage?
    Yes.
    or are there options for taking those storage requirements online and thus outside the phone, and accessing them when needed?
    No.
    Basically, since you cannot add memory to the iPhone, if you think you might want more storage capacity, get it now.
    Personally, I have ~1000 songs, 350 pics, ~35 apps and I still have ~9.5 GB available. Videos take up the most space - a full length movie will run about 1 GB, a 30 minute TV episode (really, 22 minutes of footage) will run ~250 MB.

  • 1.3GB of 2GB media card is occupied by 'others' in memory use

    I have a 2GB media card and 1.3 GB of which is occupied by this 'others' in memory use. As far as I remember it was around 600 MB when I bought the phone(Curve 9360).I am giving the details of memory use.
    Music  40.5 MB
    Ringtones 567.5 KB
    Pictures 48.9 MB
    Videos 209.1 MB
    Documents 121.1 MB
    Other 1.3 GB
    Free 60.3 MB
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Go to the Media > Explore > Media Card and see what folders you have installed there other than the routine Pictures, Music,  Video, etc... for instance I have some third apps which create new folders and store data there (CardStar, flycast, ShowMeTheImages, Themes, Fixmo Screenshots, Databases.
    The "other" space is likely occupied by such as that.

  • What is "other" in the capacity bar and how do i manage it?

    What is "other" in the capacity bar and how do I manage it?

    The "other" is mainly corrupt files and files that did not get deleted by apps one the app was done with the file. Normally the other s less than 0.25 GB.  To reduce the size of other, usually a restore to factory defaults/new iPodis required.  Sometimes restoring from backup helps a little.

  • 3.3GB of "Other" in my Capacity Chart

    I have 3.37GB of "Other" in my capacity chart. Any idea what this is and why there is so much of it?

    Good morning, Dave,
    A couple questions:
    1. What does the entire capacity chart look like in iTunes? Did you get it into a situation where everything was listed as "other"?
    2. What is the size of your other categories in your capacity chart?
    3. Are you using your iPhone with a Mac or Windows machine? Are you moving it between multiple machines or just one?
    4. When you look on your iPhone in Settings -> General -> About, what are the sizes of the categories there?
    5. Does all your music and video play properly on your iPhone?
    6. Did you ever take a phone call while the iPhone was tethered via a USB cable to the computer?
