The "other" is taking too much space on my phone?
Its almost six gb. What could that be?
You cannot remove the core apps included with the iOS. You could try clearing safari's cache:Clear History & Website Data. Depending on what third party apps you use, they may have a cache clearing function as well. Go to General->Usage then under storage tap Manage Storage. There you will see how much space each app is using. Sometimes deleting & reinstalling an app can clear up valuable storage space. Cleaning up messages, emails, & photos can also free up space.
Hope this helps!

"other" is taking too much space
I would like to know what it is so I can delete them
Hi, I noticed the "Other data" grows when the synchronization does not complete well. Wheter it is through Wi-Fi or connected, my iTunes does not seem to block the mac to go in sleep mode.
Mostly happens when synching through Wi-Fi as it is longer. I solved the issue by launching Cafeine (https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/caffeine/id411246225?mt=12) or the cafeinate command (http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/03/disable-sleep-mac-caffeinate-command/) when syncing my device (if transferring a lot of data)
It solved my issue on my iPhone and iPad
Note: that to reduce the "Other Data" do a restore of the software (restore Iphone, ipod or ipad... the top right button), then a restore of a backup. Then let it sync with the cafeinate or cafeine app running.
cheers! -

While this article doesn't cover the exact same issue, the troubleshooting steps within should apply and are worth a shot:

"Other" Category taking SOOOO much space
Hi Apple Community.
its been almost 2 years that ive had my imac and im very happy with it. NEVER going back to PC. However im always concerned about my memory, and just today i checked my storage and BANG there was 100GB of memory taken by the "other" category on my flash storage and 269.46GB taken by the "Other" Category on my 2TB SATA Disk. PLEASE help me get rid of these. i understand the SATA disk space because ive got Parrallels disktop using memory on sata disk but i dont understand how 100GB is taken by other category in my flash storage! HELP PLEASEFirst, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free on the startup volume for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved. ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root. Back up all data now if you haven't already done so. No matter what happens, you should be able to restore your system to the state it was in at the time of that backup. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
"Other" Taking too much space...
My iPad 3 has had ios7 for a while now and just in the last month or so "other" has taken about 8 gb of memory. What is inside "other" and how do I reduce it?
What is other
It’s generally a combination of local caches from apps, browsers, mail, Messages, Reading List, saved games, app-specific documents and data, notes, and voice memos.
You may want to backup and restore. -
Help, I have two albulms that I'm having trouble deleting through my phone and itunes.
Hi
If the Photoalbums were loaded from iTunes on a computer they can only be removed by Itunes and a computer.
If the albums were created on your iPhone then they are deleted on your iPhone,
Ih tyey are iTunes sourced albums you need to connect back up to iTunes/computer that you have been using. In the device Photo tab deselect all the checkboxes that are being asked to sync.
Select apply in the lower right corner.

Aperture taking too much space, are files duplicated?
I am trying to create more open space on my MacBook Pro, that has a 120GB hard drive, that is nearly full, mainly with photographs. First, I relocated nearly every master in all my projects on Aperture to an external hard drive. Then I checked my Pictures Folder, and the Aperture Library file still had over 30GB. I went back to Aperture and looked under Library 2007 and it seemed like all the pictures were there again, that I thought I had relocated to the external drive, every picture I had taken or imported over the past year. Are these duplicates? How do I really clear photos off my laptop to maintain clear hard drive space? Ideally, I would like to just be able to retain the selected ones (Previews?) for slide shows and keep all my raw files on an external hard drive.
thanks very much,
JordanWhen you relocate masters, you should still be able to see them in your library - that's the whole point of referenced masters.
The master files you relocated - how big were they combined? does their size account for the reduction in the size of the library? Do you have previews switched on and if so, what preview size are you using?
Do you have lots iof rejected images that you are hiding and may not have relocated?
Use something like 'OmniDiskSweeper' to see what's on your hard drive and taking up all the space.
Regards,

I'm nuit sure but I think iTunes is taking a lot of space from my Computer for backups. Is there any way I could remove the useless purchases I made?
Would probably be a good idea to find out what is actually taking up space before trying to remove items.

A week ago iTunes reported that my apps too about 160 MB. I bought CoPilot NA, and tried to install on the phone. After a lengthy download, and then install, it failed. I then downloaded on my computer, and synced to my phone. CoPilot works fine, but, iTunes is now reporting that I have 4 GB of apps on the phone. CoPilot NA is about 1.3 GB and I have no other "large" apps.
My guess is that the install attempt on the phone left behind files, maybe 1 zipped file, and 1 app bundle that doesn't work and is invisible?
Any ideas on how I can get back some of this space?
Thanks,
ChrisI uninstalled Copilot, then reinstalled. Lost all my user settings, like My Places entries. That sucked, but, oh well.
Total app space went down to < 1 GB while Copilot was gone, then back up to 4 GB when it was installed, even though it is listed as 1.3 GB in the app store.
Am I the only one?
Thanks,
Chris -
How to do backup large files quickly and compress the backup without taking up much space
I am a member of a large business company, and there is large data stored in our company computers. To protect data, i want to do files backup for my important work documents, pictures, xls etc. Maybe you say the built-in backup tool can help you solve
this problem. But i want to know the data is so much, and i want to choose a simple, fast, and safe way to backup data. And i want one tool can help me compress my large data. Could you help me? Any free software?To save disk space on a volume, you could enable NTFS compression on the folder.
To backup a folder, you can use the windows built-in functionality. You could also copy the files to another location using a tool that only copies changes (like teh builtin robocopy or Microsft developed synctoy,...).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_backup_software lists hird aprty backup software, some of which is free. The main advantages of using real backup software is you can have complex schedules
(differential backups, granfather-father-son principle) and more easy management and monitoring.
The 'previous versions' feature is a good solution to retain multiple versions of files without bloating storage requirements. It is not a real backup solution, but often aids developing a backup strategy that is both flexible as safe.

Time Machine Back-up Taking Too much Space
I have only been a Mac owner for a little over three months.
I set up Time Machine with an external hard drive three months ago. My Mac hard drive has used 64.16 GB of space out of 249 GB. Ny external drive (300 GB) however was full and deleting on its own in just 10 weeks. Three days ago I erased everything on the external drive and started over. After the first full back up, 50.61 GB of space was taken. Now three days later it is up to 102.54 GB. What am I doing wrong, or what do I need to do to correct.
This is a 'home use only' computer and daily changes are minimal.
Thanks for any feedback.
RogerHi mahlquist,
I have exactly the same problem on three macs running SL. Sometimes it simply wants to backup the whole drive instead of creating an incremental backup. The worst thing is that it deletes old backups first (when there is not enough space for an additional complete backup) without asking you if you want it to do that. So, the best solution is to deactivate the automatic backup in TM and start it manually only. Watch at the TM window, see what it is doing when the backup starts. When it starts to delete old backups, cancel the backup, restart your Mac and then try again. In most cases, TM then works again and creates incremental backups. Another bug is that sometimes it backups even folders that are in the list of excluded folders. I didn't manage to break TM of doing that. So I decided for a reinstall of SL on the machine that was affected.
This is one of the most annoying bugs in SL. TM is nearly unusable in SL. I also tried a complete wipe and install of SL to make sure that it wasn't the upgrade from Leopard that causes the broken TM. But this didn't solve the problem. In general, there are lots of bugs in SL. In the meantime, I would say that SL is one of the most annoying versions of OS X that Apple has ever released. Lots of bugs in such a manner are really new to me as a Mac user for many years.
