"Other" that large is usually a corrupted file(s). Restore the device and it should go back to normal, i.e. much less than 1G.

Ipod touch 4th gen - what is the yellow bar know as "other" in storage on itunes?

ipod touch 4th gen - what is the yellow bar known as "other" in storage on itunes? It is using all the space and not allowing me to download anything else. Is there a way of getting rid of it?

It includes arwor, mail. messages and some app date. Basically, what is not icluded in the other categories. If over about 1 1/2 GB that usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted. The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

My iPhone is almost full, but I can't see what is on it, and what to remove. In iTunes a yellow bar ("other") - anyone knows what that might be???

Hi, thanks for your input.
Unfortunately I still have 10.81 GB Other-stuff on my iPhone. Even after restoring the whole thing....
I looked in Settings > General > Usage, and it seems that it was only Programmes that was resuced after cleening that up.... HOPE you have more surgestions!?

What is the yellow portion "other" when updating your phone on itunes? What makes up that category?

What is the yellow portion "other" when updating your phone on itunes? What makes up that category?

anything that's not music, photos, apps, etc. anything that is not whatever is shown next to the other on the bottom of your screen. for example, if you look on your phone at settings, general, usage and click on any of the apps it will show you how much the actual app takes up and also how much documents and data it has; that documents and data portion will be counted as other. most phones that are operating normally have around 1gb of other so if you have a lot more than that you probably have a corrupt file or something. in that case search "removing other from iphone" will help you, but usually restoring is what will fix it.

Yellow Bar "Other" Capacity

My iphone capacity is showing 1.83g used in the "other" yellow bar. I don't know what this is or how to lower it, but it sucking up a whole bunch of space. Lil help, please.

Thanks, everyone, for the input. I have what I think is a nominal amount of Contacts. It's not a business list or anything like that, just personal contacts and some service providers, etc. Real ordinary. And this seemingly ever-increasing yellow bar of "other" in my itunes capacity was not that big when I brought the phone home from the Verizon store in November, 2011, just a couple of months ago. I may have added a few, but the salesperson in Verizon copied them over from my previous non-smart phone. I don't know when the yellow bar stared growing, but it is the primary consumer of my available space, and I just don't have that many contacts. I've read on other forums that it might be mirroring some stuff that I've already deleted. Dunno. I've heard some say to Restore the OS to its original condition and then reload. Any thoughts?

Yellow bar "other" filling ipod

When I synced my ipod classic ig filled with a yellow bar "other". Where could a file ~35 gb be coming from that would fill my ipod? Or is is a ghost file?

The Other section on your iPod consists of a number of different things, including album artwork, your iPod's software, files you may be storing externally on it, games, and a few other things. However, it can usually include corrupt files from failed sync sessions with iTunes. Usually the Other section should only be a small fraction of what's stored on your iPod, usually less than 1 GB.
So it sounds like your iPod may be corrupt, in which case you'll need to connect it to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.

How do I download Adobe Reader 9 in Firefox? Their instructions say to begin by clicking on the 'Edit Options' button on the yellow bar at the top. I have no such bar or button on my Firefox start page.

Just once or twice

The instructions on the Adobe site are outdated and do no longer apply to current Firefox versions and you can ignore those instructions and save the Adobe installer to your desktop and start the installation with a double-click on that file.

I selected a clip in the Project window in iMovie 11, opened the Clip Trimmer for that clip, chose the part of the clip I wanted to keep with the yellow bars, and "trim to Selection" in the menu bar is light grey so I can't complete the edit.
I'm using a MacbookPro so can't right click to highlight (as was suggested in this forum for the same problem) and can't seem to highlight that area. What do I do?

When using the Clip Trimmer, you click DONE to indocate that you are finished.
The Trim To Selection is a great tool and I use it all the time, but you use it in the main project timeline, not the clip trimmer. Just select the frames you want so that the yellow border is around them. Then right-click and select Trim to Selection.

When I load firefox I do not get the yellow bar at very top. Why not?

I have loaded Firefox 5.0 and I do not get the yellow bar across the very top that all the instructions show and that shows on my daughters computer.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden, so you need to hide the Menu bar via View > Toolbars, also accessible via Firefox > Options.
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.
You can place the Tab Bar on top.

* View > Toolbars : [X] Tabs on Top

You already have most current version of Adobe (Shockwave Flash): version 10.0.45.2
The instructions on the Adobe site are out-of-date and incorrect.
You can download the Adobe Download Manager if you wish, but it has caused some problems, and I would advise against it. See the following for information on Adobe DLM:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+do+I+edit+options+to+add+Adobe+to+the+list+of+allowed+sites
'''You have the Adobe DLM''' listed in your plug-ins; '''''getplusplusadobe16263'''''
See:
'''Uninstall Adobe Download Manager'''
It has caused problems for many users. In the following article, scroll to near the bottom and follow the instructions under the heading "Getting rid of GetPlus":

HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV. So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine.
So it seemed to work. I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.
