"Other" showing up in memory

Hi, I recently switched computers from a pc to mac, where I moved music and all iTunes "stuff." During the process while working with a person the phone, we restarted my iPod touch fully, but when everything re-downloaded back on to it, the memory when from about 30gb free to 8. He wasn't exactly sure and was soon off the phone. Does anyone know what could have caused this? I am thinking about getting a new iPhone and moving all over to that but I don't want to have the same issue because there's something on the actual computer that would transfer to the new device when music is moved over...
Thank you!!!

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

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

  • CCX version 8.0 showing high Virtual memory.

    Hi,
    We have a CCX cluster 8.0 implemented in our scenario.
    The cluster has been upgraded from 5.x to 8.x.
    After the upgrade it is showing high Virtual Memory , the memory is shooting upto 90%.
    Could you suggest any reason for?
    Regards
    Ankita Vig

    Thanks a lot.
    HASPJava.dll is used by verification  License and is invoked less and can't use a lot of native memory.
    Our business is communicating between java and COM component. In order to implement it, we used JavaCom to generate java class for COM component.
    Memory of COM component is little, but Native Memory is high.
    Who used JavaCom and did you meet this problem?
    Please give me some suggestions. Thanks a lot.

  • IPhone 4S shows low in memory.

    My iPhone 4S shows low in memory when I connect my iPhone 4s (iOS 8.0.2) to my Mac/Win machine. iTunes comes up as usual; the summary line at the bottom shows 800 photos whereas i have 300 appx in the phone gallery. While 'Other' section eats up to 20% of the phone memory.
    Please help me in understanding the issue and how to fix it.

    Hey Prof.Crank,
    I found the following troubleshooting steps to take when your iPhone is unresponsive:
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • Weird! U350 + Win7 - shows less usable memory (2.84GB) with 4GB than with 3GB?

    Hi,
    I have a Ideapad U350, which came with Windows 7 32-bit, and 3GB of memory.
    I just wanted to extend the RAM so installed instead of the 1GB of RAM a new one of 2GB. Before, Windows 7 shows "3GB installed and 2.87GB usable" but now, it shows "4GB installed and 2.84GB usable".
    Now, I know that 32-bit Windows 7 will typically only show something less than 4GB if 4GB is installed, but I was really surprised that when I had the 2x2GB memory installed, Windows 7 showed 2.84GB!!! 
    In other words, Windows 7 32-bit is showing less usable memory when the 4GB (2x2GB) memory is installed, than when 3GB (2GB + 1GB) memory is installed...
    I'm kind of puzzled about this. Just to be clear, as I said above, I *KNOW* that with 32-bit Win7, it wouldn't show the full 4GB, but I expected something like 3+GB usable with the 4GB, not < 3GB!!!
    Can anyone here explain why this is happening?
    Thanks,
    Dragos
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Re-seating the RAM modules didn't solve the problem. I suppose that this issue is because I installed some 32-bit applications. I think I must avoid this and install ONLY 64-bit apps. For example I installed the 32-bit MS Office 2007 suite because some time ago I bought a license for 32-bit. I will reinstall the 64-bit OS version and will get back with conclusions/solution. Thanks for your support.

  • How to watch a live broadcast show while recording two other shows

    If you have a TV with a QAM tuner built in and you use a splitter to connect the cable to the cable/antenna input of your TV while leaving a connection to the DVR, you will be able to watch a broadcast show live while recording two other shows on your DVR.  I tried this and it worked, but the channels I had access to (that seemed to be ones I was interested in) were basically the broadcast channels (in my area 3.1, 6.1, 10.1, 12.1, etc.).  Obviously you don't have access to the other features such as on demand, but it's handy to be able to handle three shows at the same time as long as one is on one of the channels available with the direct connection to your TV.
    Of course, this also provides a way to avoid the cost of additional set top boxes as long as you don't need access to the additional channels features like on demand.
    Bob S.

    OR if you're tv's older and doesn't have the qam tuner, you can hook up a HD antenna for 30 dollars, and if you live in an area that gets reasonable reception, you'll get something similiar to what you describe.
    both are good solutions.

    DOCUMENTS AND DATA IS ALSO WHERE YOUR MAIL INFORMATION IS STORED SO IF YOU ARE A "HOARDER" IN EMAIL, GO INTO THE GMAIL, HOTMAIL, ICLOUD ETC WHATEVER YOU USE, AND DELETE YOUR TRASH, SENT, DRAFTS, ETC.
    THAT SHOULD HELP A LOT.

  • I have an iphone  4 8gig there is 2.4 gig of "other" showing on my usage which is more than all oter data on the phone.  What is it and how do I delete some to clear space?

    I have an iphone 4 8gig there is 2.4 gig of "other" showing on my usage which is more than all other data on the phone.  What is it and how do I delete some to clear space?

    Sorry. We can't help you. It's no longer an iPhone. Apple won't touch it.
    Take it to whoever replaced the screen and see if they can help you.
    iPhones are not user servicable and Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. I'd be surprised if you were actually able to back it up at this point. It sounds like it's completely borked.

  • Appointments I make for others show "Private Appointment" in Scheduling Assistant

    Appointments I make for others show "Private Appointment" in Scheduling Assistant when I attempt to create another appointment for my manager, the previous appointment that I created, and they accepted, shows as a "Private Appointment". 
    All other items show full details of their calendar in Scheduling Assistant.
    I have been granted full access to their Exchange account and full permissions to their calendar, and yet the issue still exist.
    Any Idea on how to clear this problem, possibly from the shell?

    You can do that by leaving them a feedback.  http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Jhpani - I take that back.  See this link to share calendar privately, but this is through icloud http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2690

    You can enable disk use in iTunes and browse your iPod, or you can restore your iPod so everyting on it would be erased.

  • "other" shows wrong storage information

    Hi all,
    My system is mountain lion, today I found that "other" shows zero KB. However, according to the graph bar, "other" should have almost 100 GB. So it dosen't
    make sense at all for "other" only showing zero KB.. Last time I checked the storage of my laptop, "other" can indicate right storage space... I dont know what happened to my system to show incorrect storage information..
    Does anyone have the situation like me before?
    Any helps appreciated!

    I had exactly the same problem but with 105 GB of yellow 'other' space on a 250 GB disk .  I used Omidisk to give me a proper readout of what all the yellow was and it was mostly hidden files left by appplications I previously used that wasn't deleted when I removed them. Thunderbird mail was one of the main culprits.
    If anyone knows of a good way of optimising disk space that doesn't require completely rebuilding the computer's Spotlight index then please let us know.

  • HT1688 My phone is showing no more memory.  The usage in Other is taken up the most. This is since I have upgraded to 4gs.

    I have an IPhone 4gs with 16G and it is showing no memory left but the most usage is in Other.  This just started showing up when I activated ICloud.  I have now turned off ICloud but the storage capacity has not improved.

    Connect to iTunes with a cable and restore the phone to factory settings. You can then restore your backup.

  • How can I get my computer to show an accurate memory available?

    My MBP HD is showing I have 433GB available, however my Disk Repair shows 149GB available. I have my HDD partitioned into two drives, one with 429GB (which is how I know the 433 is incorrect), and the other at 70GB. I am running OS X 10.7.2. I have tried Repairing the disk and verifying with no success. Any ideas?

    Here is what I mean about the backups and memory, there is a big difference on the actual HDD. Is this safe to overlook as well?

  • Reader XI w/ win7 x64 8GB RAM, pdf shows 'out of memory'

    Good afternoon, title says it all. I gather this is nothing new but thought I'd throw my hat into the ring. For what it's worth this approx 500kb pdf not only gives out of memory on reader xi but also only shows as a blank page on foxit
    The page is at
    https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=HCs5d4qzwoVFHbMOwP3Ppw
    See what you think.Thanks to all
    Scott

    It's pretty comprehensively broken, not least by some HTML injected at the end of the file.
    I suspect it was served by a web server which injected some code related to AJAX, whatever that is, despite the fact that this would break the PDF. The PDF data itself, especially some JPEG image data, was mangled far beyond repair.

  • After restoring 60gb photo ipod showing only 16gb memory - help?

    Ipod was working fine until one day a folder icon came up with the apple web address. It then suddenly reset itself and showed none of my music or photos (there was about 25gb on it).
    I then tried updating the software - it was up to date.
    I then restored it.
    When I attempted to add my music back on the ipod it told me there was not enough room. When I checked, the ipod was showing that there was only 16gb of free memory. When I checked the properties of the ipod through my computer it shows used space 20.2gb and free space 16gb. This still doesn't add up to the 60gb it is supposed to be.
    Can anyone help me?

    Spooke to Apple - £189 to repair. It is a replacement of my original so the warranty is finished (even though it was replaced last May - within a year from when it died - you don't get a full year warranty on the replacement).
    Once repaired would only be guaranteed for 90 days. Not worth it when I can get a new one for not much more.
    Have bought a new one. If this lasts only a year or less it will be my last ipod! They are easy to use but not convinced by longevity!
    Anyone got any suggestions for what to do with a broken ipod
