Space taken up

On iTunes, my iPhone used to have like over 100 mb free, but now, after the update, it only has 10 mb free! And the information that is taking it all up is labeled "other." Anyone else have space taken up? Thank you in advance for the help.

I think its a question of waiting for Apple to explain and solve this one.
Don't think its the extra features in the upgrade. People are reporting capacity down from 7.3Gb to 7.1Gb after restoring - this presumably is where the extra needed for the upgrade has gone.
Reading the Duscussions the size of Other is varying from 100s of Mbs to 2 Gbs which feels more like a bug or something not being 'tidied up' by the update process.

  • How will check the space taken by a single table in a tablespace ?

    How will check the space taken by a single table in a tablespace ?
    dba_segments is giving the same values even if I truncate the table?
    Pls reply

    I need to know how can we find out the size of the table in the tablespace.use user_segments (bytes) column.
    How much bytes it has taken ?value from user_segments, bytes column
    If u delete records will the space be used for another table in same tablespace?No, it keep the space in the same table for future usage.
    How can we free that space ?truncate or drop the table and reduce the size from tablespace, if you want to reclaim the space from the tablespace, OS level.

  • How can I reduce the space taken up by "other" on my iPhone 4?

    I have a 16GB iPhone 4, with the latest iOS installed. For quite some time now (at least 6 months), the "Other" bar in the capacity graph when syncing in iTunes has taken up a lot of space. I tried restoring my phone a couple times, but it didn't fix it. The space taken up by Other hovers around 4GB, leaving me only a couple MB to a GB (depending on how much other stuff I put on my phone) of free space. Is this something like storage for applications (i.e. scores on levels of Angry Birds, browsing history in Safari, texts, calendar, and other info that doesn't fall under the criteria Audio, Video, Photos, or Apps), or is it something else?
    I send and receive a lot of pictures and video via text or iMessage, so if it's because of that, would the solution be to delete the videos from the conversation?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This indicates corrupt files.
    A restore should resolve.

  • IPod Sync Problem - syncs songs, but then no songs on ipod - space taken by other

    I recently got a new computer with Windows 7.  I installed itunes (64 bit for windows 7) and imported my songs from my external hard drive.  I automatically synced my ipod classic and once it completed got the instructions that it was ok to disconnect.  When I did, my ipod shows no music, but the space taken in memory is the same as the amount of music I have (around 8,000 songs).  When I reconnect, I get a message that I need to restore my ipod since the files cannot be read and they show up as other on the bottom of itunes.  I've tried multiple times - restored ipod, uninstalled/reinstalled itunes, deleted ipod driver, reinstalled driver, cleared the ipod in disk mode, but no luck.  Please help me solve this problem!  It's driving me crazy having a new computer with itunes that does not work!

    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes cant read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your Ipod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your Ipod to the PC
    When Itunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your iPod, preferably Manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got quite a huge library.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck! and have a Nice Day!

  • Crashed While Publishing - No Site, Space Taken

    Hey,
    I'm needing some help. Just upgraded to a normal .Mac Account, and proceeded to publish my site through iWeb.
    Anyway... it crashed near the end of publishing. The "circle" beside the site name was full, but didn't get the Announce Message, it just closed the application.
    I relaunched it, the site was all listed in red - meaning unpublished... so I checked the space taken and its took the space for the site 307MB (ok nothing to overreact by) but WHY?
    How do I delete this?

    I suggest you try republishing via File > Publish All to .Mac and see if your site will then come up:

  • HT1660 So...if I have limited hard space, is adding all my music to the iTunes library "doubling" the space taken up by my songs/albums?

    I'm relatively new to Apple and iTunes.  If I "add folders" that contain 1000s of songs from my hard drive to the iTunes library...does iTunes copy/create new files that essentially double the amount of space taken up on my hard drive, or does iTunes simply "point" to the original file?

    Can I move that folder off my C drive onto an external drive? 
    The Automatically add to iTunes folder needs to be in the iTunes folder. If you move it elsewhere, it won't do anything.
    To move yoru iTunes library to another drive...
    Quit iTunes.
    Move the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder to the external drive.
    Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
    Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    You can now delete /Music/iTunes/ folder.

    Hello Norman,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. To find out what the Other section is on your iPod Nano, the following will explain what the Other section is all about.

  • Extra unknown space taken up on iPod

    I've had a 160GB iPod since the beginning of the year and originally had it synced with a Mac that I've had for a while. However I ran out of space on that computer for my music so I recently got a new HP laptop with Vista. Although it was a pain in the *** I eventually got all my music into iTunes on the PC and was able to sync up my iPod. Now, although it works fine, according to the graphic of available space for the iPod there is 55GB taken up in music (normal) and a mysterious 33GB of space taken up by "Other" (not movies, pictures, etc). This leaves 50 or so GB in space left, which is fine for now, but eventually I would like to have that 33GB as well. I've looked in all my files and can't seem to find where all this hard-drive space could be going. Any ideas?

  • HT1145 I can't see my files on my USB shared drive.  It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac.

    I can't see my files on my USB shared drive.  It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac.  How do I see them?  I also can't see them on my iPad using FileBrowser.

    You don't have access to it to configure it via Time Machine? You lost me on that one, Time Machine is used for Backup.
    Here is a basic article on the first setup and what you should see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1178
    To configure Time Capsule you should be using "Airport Utility" 5.3 or higher that is located in the Utilities folder. You can tell if its version 5.3 because the icon will have blue lines instead of orange lines like the older versions. Since you are running Leopard 10.5.6 and you ran Software Update you are probably already running the latest 5.3 version.
    The light flashing amber means you haven't entered enough information so that it can get to the internet. Once you have that info entered the light will turn green.
    If your absolutely sure your CAT5 cables are good you can try a hard reset. I think you have to push the reset button on the back and hold it for 5 seconds or so until the amber light blinks rapidly, then when you release the button it does the reset then.

    Hope this helps! If not I would probably call AppleCare support or see if you can exchange it.

  • Different iTunes Libraries on same comp- will it double space taken up?

    Hey all,
    Quick question- I have my iTunes Library with a bunch of songs, and my wife's iTunes library on our iMac.
    My Library is full of songs that she would like to add to her Library.
    Both libraries are on the same User (Me), and when I want to open hers I simply hold down 'option' and choose her Library from there.
    My setup from Finder looks like this: Finder > My User folder > Music > iTunes (my Library) and also Wife's Library
    My question: If I move songs from my iTunes folder to her iTunes folder within this Finder window, so she can have access to the same music, will it double the space taken up on the HD, or will it just reference my iTunes folder?
    Thanks in advance for the tips!

    missed a very important step necessary to achieve this, in the summary tab in iTunes there is a check box... "show only synced items".. if you uncheck that box then unsynced items will will appear on the appleTV menus and when you click on them they will be streamed... this gives you the sync and stream from the same library part of what the OP wants.
    the other part of the puzzle is to let items inside and outside of the iTunes Folder exist in the iTunes library... the library is file that contains all the files that you see in itunes... files don't need to be in the iTunes folder to be in the itunes library though..
    the trick here is that when you drag the files from your external (the ones you don't want on your computer) and into iTunes... press option as you drag and the files will be added to the iTunes library (a reference/path to them really) but the files will not be copied to the iTunes folder... when iTunes looks for that file (to play it directly or to stream or sync to appleTV) it looks at the reference and says.. hey i can get this file here (on your external) and goes and fetches it.
    on a PC you press SHIFT as you drag into iTunes so the item(s) don't get copied to the iTunes folder.. no OPTION key on PCs.

  • I connected to itunes and it says i have 2.11 GB of space taken up under OTHER , i cant figure out what is taking up so much space can anyone help?

    i connected to itunes and it says i have 2.11 GB of space taken up under OTHER , i cant figure out what is taking up so much space can anyone help?

    I believe the new IOS 8 system takes up 1.3 Gb on it's own.   Then plus anything else you may have loaded.

  • Updated my ipod to iOS 5 but after sync now has 13GB of space taken by "other".

    I recently downloaded the iOS 5 and updated my 3rd generation, 32 GB, iPod to this, but after I snyced the iPod, I suddenly have 13.9 GB of space taken up by "other".  Before the sync, I had all of that space free.

    Thanks for the info, the ipod is in the middle of the restore and everything seems to be back to normal.

  • 4.8 GB space taken with only 85 Photos, How?

    I only have about 85 photos on my iPhone but iTunes says that I have 4.8 GB of space taken up by photos and I don't understand why?

    In iTunes what does the size of the 'other' category show? This can sometimes go bonkers with iOS 6.0 (excuse the non-technical term!). For me, restarting iTunes will cure this and will then correctly show the available usage and space.

  • When I look at my Ipod on Itunes on my laptop it is showing that I have a large amount of storage space taken up with Apps. (more than my music). In fact I only have the Apps which came with the ipod touch! How do I get my storage back?

    I have an ipod touch 64GB.  I have 3,146 songs, 3 videos, 106 photos and 1 app. The capacity of my ipod is 58 GB (I guess the remainder is the OS), It says I have 7.6GB remaining. When I look at my ipod on Itunes on my laptop the bar at the bottom shows a huge amount of storage space is taken up by Apps.  I don't have any apps apart from the ones which came with the ipod touch which I cannot erase and wouldnt really want to.  I am baffled why it says so much storage has been taken up by Apps! Please help me!!!

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
