TS1503 what is the other part of syncing

When I go to sync my phone there is a huge part of "other" in yellow that is taking up a lot of space. I have deleted photos and music to help with space but nothing is helping. What is "other" on my phone?

First, your post says you have an iPhone 3G running iOS 6.1.3.  That is impossible as the iPhone 3G cannot run any version of iOS beyond 4.2.1.  So what is your actual setup?
"Other" generally indicates corrupted files that should be removed by restoring your iPhone.

    What does the "other" part in my mac air storage meter mean?

    things that are not audio movies photos apps or backups. Like your OS.
    this also denotes things not indexed by spotlight as that is one of the functions of spotlight, to show you the media you have on your hard drives.

  • What's the 'other' part in my storage and how do I get rid of it?

    A big part of the storage of my iPod Touch 4th Generation is occupied with 'other', it's about 7 GB. What is this and how do I get rid of it?

    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"

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

  • HT201401 what is the other catetory when syncing the iphone to itunes

    Can anyone tell me what the "other" category is when syncing the phone?
    I am talking about the bar across the screen that tells you how much space each category uses.

    Data such as iPhone settings, SMS/MMS/iMessages, email including attachments, contact info, calendar events, notes, Safari bookmarks/history/cache, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app.

  • What is the "others" part of the Mac's hard drive?

    Hi,
    I've seen in my Mac that the "others" section occupy above 30 gb on my hard drive. If someone could help me to tell me what is this I would be very grateful!!

    See Lion's Storage Display.

  • TS1503 what is the "other" usage on my iphone with the apps audio photos and other

    I dont know what the "other" category is in my phone storage usage and its taking up more than half of my storage on my iphone

    What fixed this for me was clearing/deleting old text conversations that included videos and photos. "Other" was taking up about 6 gigs until I cleared the past conversations. To clear the conversations (after saving any videos and photos to your camera roll):
    Click on the Messages app. Click on a text conversation that includes videos/photos. Click "Edit" in the upper right. Then click "Clear All" in the upper left, then confirm the delete.
    This worked for me. Hope it works for you.

  • TS1503 what is the other catagory on the iPhone storage

    my phone shows 3 gigs of Other and I can't get rid of any of it since I do not know what it is or where to find it.  It is only an 8 gig phone so 3 gigs of other is huge!  HELP

    The other section is primarily the Software of the phone. I suggest backing up any information you want to keep on iTunes and restoring the phone as new. Do not sync any new information and check the capacity again.

  • HT2729 what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    what does the "other" category consist of when syncing iPhone

    "Other" data is real data that you put on your phone by using the built in apps. It is not music, not videos, not pictures and not App Store app data. It is "OTHER" meaning everything that does not fall into these categories. Such as:
    email messages and attachments
    Reminders
    Calendar entries
    Contacts
    Text messages
    iMessages
    MMS messages and attachments
    Genius data
    Music cover art
    Music library database index (but not the music itself)
    Operating system settings
    Safari cache
    bookmarks
    Game Center status
    Music catalog
    You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 3 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
    If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
    Sometimes "Other" includes data corruption. If you suspect this is a possibility try connecting to iTunes and click the Restore iPhone button. First restore from backup; the Other doesn't get any smaller you can Restore again and set up as New, then add your content back separately from your backup.

  • TS1510 I synced one nano to my iTunes library, but I can't get the other one to sync?  What do I need to do?

    I synced one nano to my iTunes library, but I can't get the other one to sync?  What do I need to do?

    This should be in the iPod Nano forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipod/ipod_nano. You are in the iPhone forum. I'll ask the mods to move this for you.

  • I have a problem with my iPad, the "other" part of the capacity summary keeps growing like ****

    Dear all: I have a problem with my iPad, the "other" part of the capacity summary keeps growing like ****, every time I sync the iPad gets bigger and bigger. What is this "other" and what do I do to keep it from getting bigger? Thanks to all!

    Marcos,
    I did not try your trick, didn't see your post until after i visited the Apple store.  The tech at the genius bar did not know why my "Other" memory had grown so huge.  It was over 24GB, which only left me with 1 GB free on my 32GB iPad.   I had been loading and unloading video's yesterday thru itunes to try various compression settings.  I did not notice the other categrory growing until I tried to load a 3 GB movie file and it told me I was out of memory.
    I probably loaded and unloaded 30 different times, trying different compression settings.  In the process of doing this, it apparently loaded up the "Other: stuff.  To me it seems like recycle bin in windows, but no one knows how to free it up. 
    So here is what he did and it worked.  He reset the iPad.  Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.  Then he hooked it up to itunes on his computer.  Fortunately I have everything backed up on my home computer.  When my iPad showed up on iTunes at the store, it showed the 24 MB of "Other" momentarily, then it reduced to about .7 GB giving me 24.5 GB free.  Resetting it seemed to do the trick, but he still could tell me how this is happening and how to prevent it. 
    I think I'll try to call someone at applecare to get an explanation, hopefully.

  • How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes?

    How can I use 2 Apple IDs in Itunes? I have 2 IOS Devices. They each have there own AppleID. What is the proper way to sync both of them to Itunes? I wanted my teenager's AppleID to be different from mine so that she couldn't charge stuff to my AppleID, therefore I created me another one. Now when I go to Sync either device, it tells me that this IOS device can only be synced with one AppleID. Then I get a message to erase it, not going to do that, lol. If I logout as one ID and login as the other, will it still retain all synced information on the PC from the first IOS device? If I can just log in out of the AppleID, then I have no problem doing that as long as the synced apps, music, etc stays there for both. I am not trying to copy from one to the other, just want to make sure I have a backup for the UhOh times. If logging in and out on the same PC of multiple AppleIDs is acceptible then I need to be able to authorize the PC for both devices. Thanks for the help. I am new to the iOS world.

    "Method Three
    Create a separate iTunes library for each device. Note:It is important that you make a new iTunes Library file. Do not justmake a copy of your existing iTunes Library file. If iTunes is open,quit it.
    This one may work. I searched and searched on the website for something like this, I guess I just didn't search correctly, lol. I will give this a try later. My daughter is not be back for a few weekends, therefore I will have to try the Method 3 when she comes back for the weekend again. "
    I forgot to mention that she has a PC at her house that she also syncs to. Would this cause a problem. I am already getting that pop up saying that the iPod is synced to another library (even though she is signed in with her Apple ID to iTunes) and gives the pop up to Cancel, Erase & Sync, or Transfer Purchases. My question arose because she clicked on "Erase & Sync" by mistake when she plugged the iPod to her PC the first time. When the iPod was purchased and setup, it was synced to my PC first. When she went home, she hooked it up to her PC and then she erased it by accident. I was able to restore all the missing stuff yesterday using my PC. However, even after doing that it still told me the next time I hooked it up last night that the iPod was currently synced with a different library. Hopefully, you can help me understand all this. She wants to sync her iPod and also backup her iPod at both places. Both PCs have been authorised. Thanks

    Would really appreciate some official clarification here.
    Many Thanks

    It must be PA3513U-1M2G. You must check if this module is compatible with your notebook model. I think so.
    Anyway I recommend you to buy high quality product like Kingston modules.
