Storage capacity consumed by 10 Gb of Other!

Since a recent update on my iPhone, the storage capacity has been consumed by 10.35Gb of "Other."
There are no movies or TV downloads; audio has been reduced to 4Gb; the rest of the memory consists of 18 Mb photos and 22 Mb of Apps.
Any suggestions on how I can get my memory back or how I can discover what is contained within the "other" category??
Rubicon Day

I had the same problem, and after reading several posts I tried restoring from a backup (after backing-up the backup to another file). It didn't get rid of the "Other". So then I tried resetting to factory settings--that did the trick, got the "other" down to a reasonable 200+ MB. The only problem is that this erased ALL of the data stored on my iPhone!
Here's my question: if I now restore from that previous backup, will I end up putting all of that "other" stuff back onto my phone, and end up back where I started? (I really don't want to have to re-enter everything manually :o( )

30gb video ipod showing incorrect storage capacity

Hi,
I have a 30gb ipod. When I connect the ipod & open itunes or ipod updater, the ipod appears with an incorrect storage capacity.
The updater shows all other information correctly, except for Capacity, which shows at 65.0GB
With nothing on the ipod, Itunes shows used: 4.49GB, free: 58.99GB. If I try to transfer any files I get a message saying that there is not enough free space to transfer the files.
I have restored to factory settings, re-installing all software, changing usb ports etc but nothing seems to have helped...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt.

My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked

My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked briefly as a temporary fix but not anymore

You could try this
Temporarily disable security on your home network
See if the iPad connects
If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password

My MacBook Pro HD Storage Capacity is getting full with majority of usage classified as Other (126.77GB). What is included as Other and how can I edit and delete unnecessary content?

The Storage capacity on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2010, Version 10.10, 4 GB Memory) is getting full. It appears I only have 29.04 GB free of 319.21 GB. The majority of usage is classified as "Other" (126.77 GB) and "Movies" (106.05 GB). I would like to edit and delete some of the Other content, but what is included in this category? How do I know what is safe to delete? I don't have many documents created. I have saved and filed content from internet sites... do these type of files use a lot of storage capacity (mostly recipes)?
I have very few Apps and have been updating all software regularly. Mose recent update was Yosemite.

Storage capacity used with "other" stuff

I have a wifi 64 Gig iPad. The only thing I use it for is netflix, video, and books. My current storage capacity is being used like this...
Audio (.01 GB)
Video (1.84 GB)
Photos (.01 GB)
Apps (.46 GB)
Books (1.13 GB)
Other (36.2 GB)
Free (19.7 GB)
My questions are this...
What the heck is this "other" stuff and how do I delete what's taking up all this space?
The other day I got a low storage capacity with 15 GB left of "Free". Why am I getting a please delete stuff because of low storage when I have 15 GB free? Shouldn't I get this when I am around 5 GB?
Is there a way to look at the file structure or an app for this? If I could see what files are taking up so much space then I could fix it myself.

I read the article and it's just a little over my head, but that's not surprising as I am very short in stature and brain supply
Where then is the iOS accounted for in capacity or am I missing something again? But if I do read the article correctly, my iPad was showing only 29GB available when new? Doesn't the article state the operating system will use some of the capacity?

Storage capacity is stated as being full, but all audio, video, apps, docs, etc. only add up to 7.6 GB out of 12 GB. iTunes shows that I am all of a sudden using 5.6 GB listed under "OTHER". What happened?

Why is storage capacity shown as full when it is not? Phone shows storage of only 7.6 GB out of 13 GB, but says I have no more storage. iTunes indicates I am using 5.6 GB under the category "OTHER". This is a sudden change. What happened?

TS1503 Part of storage capacity called Others

Please, There is part of the storage capacity called others and it takes 1.01G of of the total capcity (13.32) what's (others) refer to, and how coud i decrease its size? thank you too much

"Other" is data associated with apps but not the apps themselves. Safari History, Bookmarks, Notes, Contacts, documents, text messages, and so on. You don't want to get rid of "other" and yours is not sky high but I have read that it should be around 500 MB or so, but it will vary according to the user.
The most oftenly suggested way to get it under control if it balloons out of sight in size is to restore as new and then restore from your back up. There are many articles around about how to reduce "other".

Consumption of storage capacity in in SNP capacity view

Hi Experts,
when I check a storage resource in the capacity view the key figure "Capacity Consumption" (9ACACON) is displayed.
Could anybody please explain how is this key figure calculated?
This does not take place in a macro - I think this is related to the assigned key figure function done in the planning area customizing. The key figure "quantity stored" (9ASTOCK) has the key figure function "6007 Storage Quantity with Resource Consumption". Therefore the amount stored in this key figure (and other key figures with the function 6007 assigned) consumes the capacity.
I want to check capacity consumption of the projected stock in the future which is only calculated in auxiliary key figure u201CStock on Hand (Projected)u201D. This key figure has also function 6007 assigned.
So I assume that
a) the calculation of capacity consumption takes place by the key figure function - How specifically?
b) if I create a new (non auxiliary) key figure where the projected stock is stored in the consumption is correctly calculated?
Looking forward to your answers!
Julian

Hi julian,
let me rephrase what I said above:
When I say:"the capacity consumption for storage capacity is not based on projected stock but on the orders": I mean:
The capacitiy consumption calculation is not based on the proejcted stock key figure.Instead the storage quantity is calculated based on initial stock, receipt AND demand.
This should give the same result, but what I meant is: I don't think that the changes you have done for the projected stock have any impact on the storage capacity consumption.
In you case it looks like the result is based only on receipt as you mentioned, but to be honest even that look wrong (something arriving on day x should consume the storage untill it is removed and send somewhere else, and not only on the date of arrival)
Note the standard data view 9ASNP94/SNP94(2) - the capacity view- does NOT contain the projected stock key figure.
What you want to see is correct: in standard it should work! (except that it is not based on the projected stock key figure itself, but it is recaculated...)
Did you check if the standard view 9ASNP94/SNP94(2) was showing the right result?
I asked you:" How your system behave with other order types (e.g ditribution demand, production...) "
I meant: when you have a distribution demand, is your capacity consumption reduced?
Thanks and Regards
Julien

Storage Capacity - SNP

Hi Gurus,
My client needs to maintain storage capacity in the system, as the warehouse cant hold more then 6000 units in that particular location.
We are running deployment optimizer & if in case the capacity is more then 6000 units then it has to route to other warehouse.
I have seen an option in location master as storage capacity, but it is more specific to replishment orders for SNC. If i use this will there be any other side effects in the system.
Is there any other place where i can maintain the storage capacity, so that if it cross's the limit then it will route to other locations, kindly help me in this regard as it has to be addressed ASAP.
Regards,
Arabind

Hi Arabind,
One method to do this would be as follows.
Define a storage resource (category S) in Res01 tcode and define capacity per day in units in the "Definitions" area
Assign this storage resource to the location master in Storage Resource field in resources tab
or define the capacity in M3/pallets etc... in the storage resource and
Maintian the consumed per unit in Storage Cons.per BUn field in GR?GI tab of product master
This would restrict the maximum storage in the location.
Thanks & Regards,
Ashok

1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

HI Frostyfrog
CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
Good luck

Can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

HT201318 I upgraded my iCloud storage capacity for a higher tier and the device does not actually reflects said upgrade. How can this be resolved since my credit card was charged

I upgraded my Icloud storage capacity to a higher tier and my Iphone does not reflect the change although my credit card was charged and the device is nor properly backup. How can this be resolved?

It seems to take up to a couple of days for the upgrade to take hold, at least that's the experience of some users. Give it 24 hours before contacting apple.

Can I use HP System Recovery Disks on a new hard drive replacement with a lower storage capacity?

Can I use the HP System Recovery Disks from my HP Pavilion dv7t-4000 CTO Select Edition Entertaimnent Notebook PC when I replace the failing hard drive with a smaller storage capacity hard drive? Right now it is a Toshiba 750GB SATA hard disk drive, 5400 RPM, 2.5 inch small form factor (SFF) and I am planning to replace it with the Toshiba HDKCB26 500GB 2.5 inch Hybrid Hard Drive. I read that I cannot use a System Image to restore the hard drive because it is a smaller capacity then the original Hard Drive. If this is true, it seems that my only option is to use the HP Recovery Disks.

Hi:
Normally the HP recovery disks don't work on a smaller hard drive either, but it may be possible in your case if HP offered a 500 GB HDD in that model series.
No guarantees though.

SQL Server 2008 Express R2 exceeds the storage capacity of Oracle XE

Hello, here is a novelty: SQL Server 2008 Express R2 exceeds the storage capacity of Oracle XE, XE you still limited to 4GB of data from, the competition gets better and offers a bit more, XE remains the same, hopefully Oracle 11g XE exceeds storage and memory to SQL Server.

Yes, I do good work is correct, I have not thought to migrate from Oracle XE to SQL Server Express because it could not work with the flexibility of PL / SQL and other Oracle features own, however, SQL Server 2008 R2 Express if takes the lead XE in storage, at which Oracle Corp. will match or exceed, offer more storage in response to competition and not only compensate for the limitation of 4GB with Excellency good features.
