Syncing interrupted resulting in less Other space

i was syncing a movie of 900-ish mb. i accidentally disconnected my ipod. i connected it back again and when i did i saw that Other went from 330 mb to 1.2 gb. thats obviously the movie that was interrupted but its not in the movies section and i can't find that file anywhere. is there anyway i can get rid of that unnecessary space taker? thank you so much.

It would appear that the iPod hard drive or iPod software has become corrupt. This doesn't mean that the songs are not on your iPod, hence the fact that the iPod reports used space and iTunes may show them. I've never seen a plausible explanation for why it does this, although the accidental disconnection probably was the cause in this instance.
You should restore the iPod and then reload the content again from iTunes.

Syncing music results in large Other data on iphone

using 8GB iphone 3G and iTunes 7.7 on mac OS 10.4.11, when i sync music to the iphone, i get 1.42 GB of music plus 3.31GB of Other. when i turn off music syncing, Other goes does to 228MB. this happens if i have all other syncing but music turned off. Any suggestions for what i can do to reduce the Other data being sync'd as part of music? Thanks.

seems to have resolved itself on the 4th sync.

Does installing an app over Itunes, then syncing it to my ipod use less storage space?

Does installing an app over Itunes, then syncing it to my ipod use less storage space, instead of installing it on the device itself.
If yes, how does this work, please explain lol.

Does anyone know the answer?

I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) but the messages are still there.

I deleted some of my text message histories to get rid of 'other' space (6.33 gb). They were gone from iMessage, but they still showed up in search, so they were still taking up space on my phone. I synced my iPhone (4s) with iTunes but the messages are still there. How can I get rid of these texts for good and have more space on my phone? 6.33 gb of other space is way too much, thats almost half of my overall available space (13.5 gb.) I don't want to reset my phone and lose all my other texts/ app progress/ photos. I do have backups, but when I restore from the backup the other space comes back along with everything else. What can I do to get rid of this other space and the 'deleted' text messages? (I'm running iOS 6.1.3 if that helps)

But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

I had to do a restore on my PC, and therefore reinstall iTunes. Now that I have done so, my "other" space has increased to 6.50 GB for no reason, and I can no longer sync the same amount of music as previously. I have tried all the fixes I can find.

Everything used to fit. It was only after I removed the music to sync because this is considered a "new" library that the "Other" space appeared to this extent.

Since this first message, the "Other" space has increased exponentially. The first time, after the "restore", it increased to over 9 GB. Later, I tried a minor restore again, and now it's over 10 GB. I've seen someone suggest that text messages are to blame. If my text messages are suddenly taking up 4 GB of space, I think we've got bigger problems.

When syncing my ipod touch, the Other category shows it's taking up a lot of space. What is in Other?

When syncing my iPod Touch, the "Other" category shows it's taking up a large amount of storage space on the device. What is in the "Other" category, and how do I control what goes into it?

Restore from a backup will get you some 'other' back.
Still not happy, Restore in iTunes, Setup as new. Sync back personal data using iTunes Tabs

Failed sync, orange other space

Ok received a 2nd gen 8gb nano for birthday. But i can't sync. i set up the name and auto sync options. it syncs all the songs complete and then ejects. but no songs show up. upon reconnecting the ipod it shows 4-5 gigs of other space that look to be the songs that i just sync. i have tryed all manor of restoring restarting etc. iam using itunes 7.4
anyone have this problem, or better had! this problem and found a cure.

You may have a drive letter conflict: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
Before you change the drive letter, connect your Nano to a rear port on your computer, and connect your keyboard and mouse. Disconnect ALL other USB devices, including printers, external drives, thumb drives, modems, scanners, cameras, etc. and disconnect from any network you might be on. Try a much higher drive letter such as M or P or Z.

IPhone 4 Sync Backup Creates Other Space

Ok I have been having this issue ever since I have gotten the iPhone 4. Its really irittating because my 4 is only 8GBs.
Everytime I connect my 4 to my computer, iTunes pops up and it syncs it and go throughs the steps of sync and backing up.
But when it does this, my other memory space goes up. Everytime I use my iPhone 4 then need to put mopre music or something it goes through that sycnhronization process and back up, which then makes my other space go up more. Now I only have 1.1GB of space left. I been having this problem and trying to figure out what is the problem. But when today I connect it I notice it goes up when backing up and all that. I have research alot of people have the same issue but its because of something else, or because they "Jailbreak It" which mines is not.
My iPhone 4 is on the latest ios5 which is 5.1.1. Can anyone help me figure this out. Because Apple hasn't address this little problem.
Much help please.

A simple search would have revealed the resolution and it has nothing to do with jailbreaking.
"Other" growing is normal, but it should only really be around 300mb to 1GB depending on the apps and what data they store. Anything larger than that may indicate corruption.
Start by restoring from backup, if it does not shrink "Other" restore as new.

What is the normal amount of GB of Other Space for a new 32 GB Ipod touch 5 Generation with iOS 6.1.3? Also, will iOS 7 slow down/drain the battery of my device?

My Other storage space was at 2.84 GB after i loaded all my music/apps onto a recently purchased 32 GB Ipod touch 5 Generation with iOS 6.1.3. Resetting the settings and removing the music and apps did not help reduce the Other space. I restored to a backup and got my Other storage space down to almost 400 MB. When I started syncing music it grew 500-ish MB. Each time I sync, the Other grows a bit more. This is really irritating.
The official listed available GB on my 32 GB is 28.22 GB (not including Other), so now I am irritated knowing that this Other is taking up my space when I didn't even have 32 GB of free space to begin with. So 28.22 - 2.84GB = 25.38 GB.
I want to restore to a new device to see if that helps, but do not want to upgrade to i0S7. Is there any way to do this?
If I upgrade to i0S 7 I am worried it might slow my ipod or drain the battery faster. Will it do that? The ipod is expensive and I dont want it to go downhill and obsolete on me because it can't handle a better operating system.

Less than 1 1/5 GB is normal. It does grow with time.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It

Usage reports more free space, than iTunes but music sync update fails for lack of space

32 GB iPod touch 5th generation IOS 8.3
Settings -> General -> Usage (Storage) says Used 17.1GB Available 10.3GB
itunes 12.1.2.27 says 6.15 GB free
Attempt to sync a music update - results in message(s) saying
"unable to add song ... not enough space"
I can understand some free space is need for overhead but

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 indicates corrupted files.

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

Un-removable "other" space

I have a problem of un-removable "other" space.
After trying many things, I've done what seems to be the final option:
I've restored my iPhone as new, I didn't restore it from backup. When I connected the iPhone to iTunes I saw that "other" space was removed.
now I synced it to transfer all the apps and music (I didn't restore from backup)
After the sync was complete, I found that the "other" space to be 3.8G, again !!
How can that be ? The size of my entire media library is less than this!! Where does this space comes from ??
Please please help how to remove this....

Hi ,
That the trivial explanation but what should I do with it?
All the apps in the library are at their original size, without any additional data.
Regarding the music, should I erase everything and build the entire library again?
The problem will just come back... A year ago I didn't have this problem and the music library was pretty much the same...

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message "The registry settings used by the I tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software Please reinstall

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
"The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
To my knowledge no new software has been installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still
get the same message.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Do I need to download a new driver?

I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.

How do I free up 'Other' Space on my iPod Touch?

So I just bought an 8GB iPod Touch 4 today, and while syncing my music and downloading apps, I noticed there was a chunk of space called "Other" on my iPod (Shows in iTunes) That takes up a large 0.9 GB. Since my iPod is an 8GB and I want to keep the space as open as possible, I did short research on how I could get rid of this. The only thing I found was http://ipodtoucher55.blogspot.com/2009/01/free-up-other-space.html .
So I have a few questions:
1. Can anyone confirm that this method still works? The article was posted in 2009, and I am wondering if it is outdated and won't work.
2. Step 3 on the page says "Click on the Sync button in the bottom right corner, don't cancel the backup." I click "Sync" in the bottom right corner, it loads something for a second, then nothing happens. Is this normal? If I follow the rest of the steps, will my Apps still be there?
3. Are there any other methods that I could use to free up "Other" space? I want to keep all my apps (I can put my music/videos back in later) because I paid money for them, and I'm scared I might lose them if I do something wrong.
Thanks in advance for your help, as you can see I'm still figuring things out >.<

1. Yes, all those methods will still work for your device.
2/3. To make sure all of your apps are synced on to your computer, disconnect your device from your computer. Then look on the Applications page of iTunes, if they are there, that means that all of your paid apps have been backed up on to your computer and you are safe to restore.

Copying selected text results in text without spaces.

When I select and copy text from most PDFs and paste it tome some other app, the resulting text has no spaces between words.
Example:
Littleworktodateinsentimentanalysi
Whereas in other app that uses iOS buil in:
Little work to date in sentiment analysis
The weird thing is that in some documents I am able to copy paste from Acrobat correctly.

Do you have thar Persian font in your system? If you don't, copy and paste will produce only garbage.
