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?

iTunes shows that there are no songs on my iphone but there are 274 songs there. The data storage shows up as "other" on iTunes. I just want to clear the music on my phone but I can't seem to do so. Is there any way to do this? You used to be able to swipe and delete a song straight from your phone but I can't seem to do that anymore.
That is stealing.

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.

Once that is complete, then check the appropriate sections to see what is there. If you cannot isolate the issue then you may need to restore the iPod Nano. The following will assist with the restore process.

When I text a contact in my iphone 4s the name will show up like it should but it has the persons current phone number and another or their old number listed under other. Its not in my contacts on my laptop anywhere so how do I delete that old number, I have looked in my phone contacts its not there but its like the email addressess show up to if you start typing an email address will show up even if its not one in your contacts.
Did you manage to resolve this issue?
I called Apple Care, tried various things that did not work, then completely reset my iPhone 5 and restored from a recent backup. That worked for a day or so, then the definct "other" number was again offered when I started typing the name of a contact whom I wanted to text. -

Ipod earased music but itunes shows that it's still on the ipod
I synced my ipod just two days and listened to it yesterday. I downloaded a song on iTunes and when I went to sync it, my iPod was wiped clean but when I hook it up to iTunes, iTunes shows that al the songs are still on there, to include the new song. I didn't accidentally, or deliberately, erase or delete anything. Please advise.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsyncdelete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
I cannot play music from my itunes library. I keep getting an itunes message that says, “The song could not be used because the original file could not be found.” Is there a fix for this? Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a fix for this? Thank you.
Hello Turintest2,
I am having a similar problem. I have over 4000 songs giving me this error. I certainily don't want to go in one by one and find them. I know you wrote a script for Windows but I am a Mac user. Is there a fix for me? Here is the info on where the song is currently (used by doing the get info)
Here's a shot of my preferences:
Just FYI, I know that apparently iTunes is looking for this music in the trash. However, if I go here:
Then I find the music there as well. (Which is where it is in my preferences.)
Please help! I don't want to have to go through over 4000 songs and update them one by one. -

A song I purchased shows up in iTunes, but will not show up on my iPhone. When the phone is plugged into the computer, iTunes shows that it is on my iPhone, but it is not. How do I get that song to show up on my iPhone?
I have the same problem and it only affects the one song, everything else syncs

All of my songs have exclamation points next to them but when I go to my iTunes media folder to find the files, there is nothing in the folders. Any idea what happened and how I can get my music back?
I wish I could help. There are numerous threads about missing music but last I looked, no solution. You might want to read through them anyway.

I bought the iPhone4 in the apple store. Why iTunes shows that the SIM card isn't inserted when I connect to the compter? But I have inserted the SIM card.
Even if I inserted another SIM card which can work nomally in other‘s iPhone, it still doesn't work in my iPhone. So I think the problem isn't because of the SIM card.bwowWhere did you buy it? And was it connected to a carrier?
