What content is catagorized as other

when I synch up my ipad it shows photos, music, app, books and other.  What is other?

It is not necessarily that easy so don't think that it is. That may work - and the other extreme would be restoring as new without using the backup and starting all over again. Restoring from a backup is a safe starting point.
If you Google "how to get rid of "other" on the iPad, you can find all kinds of suggestions for things that might work for you.

  • What contents are in iPod's "Other" section?

    iTunes is showing that my iPod has 60GB worth of "Other" content according to the capacity "bar/guage".  All I have synced is my Music and Podcasts which make up for the totals for the Video and Audio breakdown.  So, what files/data are considered "Other" and where can i locate them?
    thanks,
    Mike

    "Other" is the measure of used space on the iPod not taken up by Audio, Video & Photos. This includes the iPod's library and artwork plus any files you may have copied to your iPod in disk mode. The overhead for the library & artwork data is typically 1-2% of the size of the media, e.g. for 1Gb of Audio & Video expect to have around 15mb of "Other". This information is needed for the iPod's operation and cannot be removed.
    If you have significantly larger amounts of "Other", not related to files you've intentionally placed on the iPod, then these are probably disconnected copies of your media files or iPod libraries left over from failed sync operations. The only way to recover the space is to do a full restore.
    If you have copies of all your media in your iTunes library this isn't a problem, but if you've been manually managing the content then you might need to try to recover the files from it first. See this post by Zevoneer on transferring files from the iPod to your computer. Some of the tools rely on the iPod having a healthy library however the manual method mentioned towards the end of the post should work regardless.
    Note restoring should clear all files from the iPod's drive however sometimes it doesn't actually seem to work. Options include manually deleting all visible & hidden files & folders via Explorer/Finder or formatting the drive.
    When repopulating the drive you may find breaking the process up into smaller stages makes it less likely to fail.
    Break up large transfers
    In iTunes select the menu item File... New Smart Playlist. Change the first drop-down box to Playlist, the next to is and the next to Music or whatever playlist holds the bulk of the content you want on your device. Tick against Limit to, type in say 10, then change the drop-down to GB, and set the last drop-down to artist. When you click OKyou can enter a name for the playlist, e.g. Transfer. Now sync this playlist to your iPod rather than your entire library. When the sync is complete modify the rule (File... Edit playlist) to increase the size by your chosen amount, then sync and repeat. You can experiment with different size increments, if it doesn't work just choose something a bit smaller until it works each time. Before long you should have all your music on your iPod. Once that's done you can move on to other media such as podcasts, videos, photos, playlists etc.
    There are also a couple of threads I've seen that suggest there might be a memory leak with some iTunes builds where the space for certain files that are removed from the device, such as expired podcasts, is not being returned to the filing system. I have not however confirmed the observation myself and there may well be other causes such as AV software holding up the timely transfer of files.

  • Can I create a custom table of contents and link to other .pdf files based on responses to a form?

    Hey Everyone! First post ever, so bear with me:
    I'm trying to create a streamlined method to use a form  to let myself and others add information and select certain options to put together a custom table of contents. Basically, I would like to have a form with a series of text fill and single/multiple choice options that will automatically populate a table of contents based on the selections and will link to other .pdf files that are associated with the selections. I was hoping this would be possible with a form, but I'm relatively new to the function of the software as a whole and my research came up short. Any suggestions on how to start are more than welcome, and if I wasn't quite clear enough I would be happy to elaborate.
    Thanks for your time!

    You would need to search for other PDF creation software that can accomplish what you desire.
    There are many cheaper  PDF creation alternatives other than Adobe's Acrobat Pro software.
    Also, try doing a web search under these terms to see if you can find an app/software/solution that may work for you.

  • ITunes used to have a bar that showed me what content on my iPad was taking up the memory.  The bar is gone.  How do I get it back?

    Have to say, I've been messing with this for 30 minutes just trying to figure out how to post a question.  Very frustrated.
    How do I get back the bar that iTunes used to have which showed me what content on my iPad was eating up memory?  The iPad itself doesn't seem to show that, I had to hook to iTunes to see it. Now that's gone.

    I suspect unless he had some items in iCloud backup then they are gone.  Connecting an iPhone to a different library from that to which it was previously connected will result in the device asking if you want to erase it.

  • What content does my iPad support?

    What content does my I-Pad support so I can watch videos? Because it will not let me download Adobe Flash Player.

    iOS does not support Flash so you don't need to worry about trying to download it.  This is why you can't view flash media or play games coded in flash.
    You can watch YouTube videos (there are some that will not play because they are not in the proper format for iOS. 
    There is an MP4 format that iOS uses so you can rip DVD's you own to this version of MPEG video.  It usually takes a couple of steps then you import the final MP4 file into iTunes and sync it to your iPad.
    iDevices support MP3 music as well as the ACC music format.
    And I believe the format of choice for photo's is JPEG.

  • What content is free on apple tv

    What content is free and what is paid as well as what has both on Apple TV?

    Thanks vazandrew.
    From what you said, the Apple TV will just be a way to stream what you already have and will buy using iTunes. The Free items accessed by the Apple TV has not much to offer then. (again with the consideration of one not wanting to pay subscriptions to items or programs). I am just asking because I was thinking of getting an Apple TV to add to my Entertainment set up.

  • What content can appear over icloud on disconnected phone?

    My ex boyfriend unknowingly had my old iPhone and charged it and turned it on. The phone is still connected to my iCloud and he is backing up my phone periodically to check my phone. I'm curious as to what content he is able to see. Since the phone is disconnected and must be used over wifi, does that mean he can only get iMessages and not text messages? Also, I have an iPod that is hooked up through wifi and I checked it to see what content is displayed on it. Is my iPod a mirror of what content will appear on the disconnected phone? I have since logged onto iCloud and locked the old phone through Find My iPhone.

    Hi there,
    It looks like you may have restrictions enabled. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for more information about Restrictions as well as how to disable it.

    What type network is yu router set up for? The 4G iPod can only connect and see 2.4 GHZ networl like B, G and the 2,4 GHz N. There is also a 5 GHz N but the iPod will not even seethat network.

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

  • HT1535 What exactly is stored under "OTHER" on your iPhone that you only see when it's connected to iTunes?

    What exactly is stored under "OTHER" on your iPhone that you only see when it's connected to iTunes?

    Ok, here is how the story have ended for my iPhone 4S.
    I took the phone to the genius bar 500-km far from my town. And they told me to wait 20 mins and then they asked what's wrong with the phone. They first thought the battery is dead. But then they changed the battery with a sure-it's-working-battery. But no luck. And told me that "logic board" has gone (why? -no explanation. it just happens).
    And then they checked the warranty and noticed that it was expired 29 days ago (the phone was bought from Chicago and I'm in Europe now). Since it's expired, I'm told that it can't be replaced with no cost. I should pay 200 Euros to get a "new" iPhone 4S (you know what is "new" means, refurbished). Or I could buy a brand-new-iPhone5 for 600 Euros.
    I'm not rich person and I decided to go with the refurbished one. So, as summary,
    - 13 months iPhone is dead. (~500$)
    - a refusrbished phone with 3 months of warranty (200 Euro)
    - Lost data (I admit that this is my fault not to care about the backup but after phone is dead, I didn't have any way to save data).
    I can say that, if you have too much money, yes, Apple products are worth to buy.

  • HT1947 Just want to say I have an iPhone 4s and only in this app, if I move the phone toward my face like I'm going to talk on the phone, Siri pops up. No idea what that's about. Other than that this all is absolutely splendid.

    What does Factory Unlocked International Version GSM Only? what's the difference from other iphon5 specs? pls explain

    Only GSM/LTE iPhones can be purchased unlocked. CDMA iPhones are always locked to their specific carrier for CDMA use, though some may either have the GSM portion unlocked or will unlock upon request assuming any necessary requirements are met.
