How do i get rid of the other section on itunes, how do i get rid of the other section on itunes

the "other" sections on my Iphone 4s and Ipod keep getting bigger. How do I minimize this?

Other includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, data created and stored by a 3rd party apps. Minimizing this data will conserve on the size of Other. If it becomes unusally large (>2 GB) then there may be someting corrupt in it and you will need to restore your phone to correct this.

How do you find out what information is in the 'other' section on the bottom of itunes

If it is much more than a gb or so, then it indicates corrupt files. A restore should resolve.

What is the other section on iTunes!!!?

I updated my iPod touch 64g 3rd generation to the new system. I recently had about 18 gigs free, but with the new system I have .98 free space and 21gigs in the other section so now all of my pics won't sync to my iPod! What in the world is the problem and what is the other section and why is it so full all of a sudden!?

Many files got corrupted during the update process and are in the "other" category. To recover, you need to restore your iPod. First try restoring from backup. If not successful (since the corruption is in the backup), you need to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

How do you get rid of or reduce the "other" section in iTunes for an iPhone 5?

I have more space taken labled as "other" than I do anything else. I've spent hours researching and I've tried many different things. Please help!!!

You should import all pics taken with the iphone as you would from any digital camera.
You should amke sreu you ahve synced your contacts/calendars to your computer
You should transfer your itunes purchases made from the iphone to your computer.
Make sure that you have put everything on your computer, if you haven't already, before restoring.
The backup does not contain any itunes content. Contacts are only backed up to keep recents and favorites. I would never rely on the backup for your pics. You should importing them to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera

How do you decrease the other section size in your itunes library

I have a ipod touch 4g 8gig and im running out of space on my ipod. The "other" section in my itunes library is taking up 3gigs of my ipod disc space. Only have a few games downloaded, please help

This indicates corrupt files
A restore should resolve

The other section on my iPod touch is 1.73GB!

Connected my iPod touch (4th Generation) to iTunes and noticed how high the 'other' section on it is. I do not have much album artwork or many notes or contacts. Why is the 'other' stuff taking up so much memory on my iPod and how can I delete it? Thanks

Sometimes the Other section also includes corrupted files that are no longer readable by iTunes or your iPod Touch. The only way to shrink it down to a more appropriate size is to restore your iPod via iTunes. See this article for more help and information on restoring your device.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If a restore from backup does not resolve the size of Other then it's likely something in the backup and you'll want to restore it to factory defaults instead.

TS4062 My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.

My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows. I have gone through all steps of the troubleshooting guide. All of our other ios devices are wi-fi sync-ing fine. Can anyone help?
Not sure how long this has been a problem. Kids are young and I manually manage most things but recently having music synced is an issue. All software has been kept up to date.

HT204370 Purchased movies doesn't show in the purchased section of iTunes? Why not? If I want to watch again do I need to repurchase? Thanks!

Hi all, I bought a copy of Leon on my iPad 2. Now that I've watched it I've deleted it, however it doesn't show in the purchased section of iTunes? Why not? If I want to watch again do I need to repurchase? Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Redownloading of movies is only available in the US at this time, even then not all movie studios are allowing their content to be redownloaded.

HT1386 i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes in my phone is missing when you open the "album" section of itunes installed on my phone. how can i get my album artwork to show up in the album section

i have noticed that the album artwork on itunes installed on my phone is missing some of the album artwork when i go to the "album" section of itunes in my phone. How can i get the album artwork to show up

first of all, no one is going to respond to this becuase limewire is used basically in your situation illegally. But let's say you import a cd, left click on the songs you imported and hit get album artwork, if nothing comes up, the album sn't in the itunes database, get it online. And I suggest never to mention limewire and music files on the same post here, since limewire is a file sharing program. Use Itunes, it's easier. theo

The "Other" section is using up 3.89 GB of space.

I have just recieved my iPod Touch 5G, and I have only synced my music library. At the bottom of the itunes page it has my devices storage. Audio, Other, and Free Space. The "Other" section is taking up 3.89 GB of room. Is that how much it is suppose to take up, or do I need to clear something?

What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:

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

Whenever I try to enter the "apps" section of Itunes it crashes

Whenever I try to enter the "apps" section of Itunes it crashes. I cant figure out why, but it started after the update.
Tried to restore the phone and reinstall Itunes. Sitting on Windows 8 and an Iphone 4s. Every other page works fine.
I've seen posts about "Store" not working as it should but that is not the problem for me, just the "apps" section of Itunes.
Any kinda help is appreciated.

Should probably add to say that it's when I've connected my phone and using iTunes.

Maybe you have multiple accounts that's why your purchase history is empty. You can try checking for possible Apple IDs that's existing for you or you can ask for assistance from support.

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.
