What is included in "other" in capacity

I have 4.6 GB of my 32GB storage on my IPAD 3 being used by something called "other"   gow do i find out what is included in this.

Actually "other" is app data, Safari Bookmarks, calendar entries, text messages, notes, Safari History, email messages and things like that - stuff associated with apps - but not the apps themselves or any other media.
Your "other" should be nowhere near 4.6 GB. You had a corrupt sync. You can try restarting, the iPad, rebooting it with the home and sleep button restart or unsync all photos and music and then resync all photos and music.
However, many times you need to restore the device to factory settings and then restore from a backup in order to reduce that bloated size. That should probably be no more than 1 GB and more likely between 200 and 750 MB in total size.

  • My MacBook Pro HD Storage Capacity is getting full with majority of usage classified as Other (126.77GB). What is included as Other and how can I edit and delete unnecessary content?

    The Storage capacity on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2010, Version 10.10, 4 GB Memory) is getting full. It appears I only have 29.04 GB free of 319.21 GB. The majority of usage is classified as "Other" (126.77 GB) and "Movies" (106.05 GB).  I would like to edit and delete some of the Other content, but what is included in this category? How do I know what is safe to delete? I don't have many documents created. I have saved and filed content from internet sites... do these type of files use a lot of storage capacity (mostly recipes)?
    I have very few Apps and have been updating all software regularly.  Mose recent update was Yosemite.

  • When syncing, what is included in the 9.59Gb of "other" that's on my iPad?

    When I sync my iPad, I can see that I have the following data types:
    Video, Photos, Apps, Book, Documents & Data, Free and "Other".
    What is included in "Other" - it's by far the largest subset.

    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 can backup and restore to reduce "other" but they will start building up over time.

  • What is the iPhone "Other" capacity seen in iTunes?

    What is the iPhone “Other” capacity seen in iTunes?

    Other includes data such as iPhone settings, contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cache/cookies, email and email attachments, SMS/MMS/iMessages, notes, app data, Safari cache, cookies and bookmarks, stored passwords, search index, home screen organization, wi-fi network data, etc.  It should generally be about 1GB.  If it's significantly larger than this it contains something corrupt; restoring the phone should resolve this.

  • Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space.

    Under Option Summary, the usage includes AUDIO, PHOTOS, APPS and OTHERS. What are the things included in OTHERS? It is using up my storage space. Can someone please help?

    To add to Nick's comments, "Other" is typically approximately 1 gigabyte.  Occasionally for some users, it gets much (many times) bigger because they have some corrupt files.  If that's the case, it's best to restore the iPhone.
    Plug the iPhone into (current) iTunes, let it sync, then choose "Restore" on the right.  If restoring from the iPhone backup does not help, then restore (again) as new and then manaully sync the iPhone.

    Hi, just about everything else...
    OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...

    And if needed, you can use Terminal to run it in admin mode to see files/folders your user can't see...

  • HT1386 what is included in the "other" category

    I am trying to find out what is included in the yellow "other" category on my iPad. I have more space taken up by that than anything else.

    This is copied from one of the countless discussions about the "other" issue on iDevices.
    That large of "other" is corrupt data. Try restoring your iPad from backup first, followed by syncing your content back to the device. If restoring from backup does not fix things, you will have to restore as a new device to get rid of it. There is no way to directly delete it, other than restoring your iPad.
    Other includes app data and files, Safari Bookmarks and history, Notes, Calendar entries, text messages and email messages - basically the non media items on the iPad. If it is taking up that much room - more than anything else on your iPad - you should follow the suggestion I posted above.

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • HT4889 what is included when you migrate users, settings and other files?

    When you use the Migration Assistant, what is included in "users," "settings" and "other files"?

    I think it's offered as an option at some point during the installation. But you can always start the Migration Assistant at any later point (it's located in Applications/Utilities) - that's the same application.
    That's what I did, actually. I did a clean install first and only after everything was up and running did I hook up my old G4 and transferred things over with the help of the Migration Assitant.

  • What is included in the catagory of "other" at the bottom of the device page in itunes?

    The catagory of other continues to grow on my iphone. It is now 3Gb and I don't even know what it is.

    "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
    MMS messages and attachments
    Genius data
    Music cover art
    Operating system settings
    Safari cache
    bookmarks
    Game Center status
    Music catalog
    Probably a few I've missed. There was a problem in an earlier version where deleted MMS messages left behind their attachments, but that has been fixed as of 6.1. The reason that deleting music recovers some Other space is because it delete cover art. But is also screws up your music, which will no longer play correctly.
    You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 1 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.

  • How to include the other Languages in SAP sybase brand mobiliser 5.0

    Hello,
    I'm just trying to include the other languages(urdu) in brand mobiliser with common place holders as the properties file.By importing and exporting the brand flows. The text of the flow is getting corrupted..
    How to get out of this problem?
    Thanks in advance

    I created 2 containers (ZWCTESTURL1, ZWCTESTURL2) in my task and gave them initial values:
    ZWCTESTURL1 = mailto:test$lsi.com?subject=test   
    (replace "$" with "@", this posting will not let me enter email address)
    ZWCTESTURL2 = body=action:approve
    I put the following line in my Task Description:
    <a href="&ZWCTESTURL1&&&ZWCTESTURL2&">test</a>
    When I go into Business Workplace (SBWP) and open my workitem, I see a hyperlink named "test".  When clicked, it properly opened a new email in my lotus notes which put To, Subject, and Body text correctly.  However, when I open same workitem in Universal worklist (UWL), there is no hyperlink, just straight text.  It displays as:
    <H href="mailto:test$lsi.com?subject=test&body=action:approve">test</a>
    (replace "H" with "a")
    As I suspected, I could not create hyperlinks in workitems that are in Universal Worklist.  I looked at the editor options in task description and have not any luck with what I tried to make that text a hyperlink in UWL.

  • How do I find what's included in the $9.00 monthly plan.

    I just purchased the $9.00 monthly plan for both features but now I am confused about what is included with my plan. Most likely because there are so many things to try or purchase when I first logged on.
    Thank you for your help!

    Hm, I may have been wrong on that...  If so, I'm sorry for the misinformation.  I had remembered reading that the buttons would be labeled [Try] if the applications were not included in the user's current Creative Cloud plan.
    I have the full subscription so I can't check directly.
    It is possible to find screen grabs online with Google with buttons labeled [Try].  For example:

  • Ok, What is all this "other" taking up space on my iphone and how do I get rid of it? It's taking up almost half the space on my phone.

    Unfortunately the best solution to fix your issue is a restore. Back up your phone, then restore it using iTunes.  Follow this guide:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414.

  • What is included in a single app CC subscription?

    Adobe has decent information about what is included in a full subscription but I'm having diffuculty finding exactly what is included (or excluded) in a single app (e.g. PS CC) plan. I see this:
    20GB of cloud storage for file sharing and collaboration
    Limited access to services
    What are the limited access to services? Is free access to Behance and Behance ProSite included? Is Bridge CC included? Is Creative Cloud file versioning included?

    Hi Franck,
    You can take a look at the FAQ on the Muse product page:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/muse/faq.html
    Can I develop sites in Adobe Muse CC without purchasing the other Creative Cloud products?
    Yes. You can build a site in Adobe Muse CC without purchasing any of the other Creative Cloud applications. Just choose the single-app membership option when you join Creative Cloud. Keep in mind that hosting the website, whether on Adobe's platform or through a third-party hosting provider, will incur a separate additional charge.
    What's the difference between an Adobe Muse CC single-app membership and a complete Creative Cloud membership?
    While a single-app membership gives you ongoing access to Adobe Muse CC for a low monthly price, a Creative Cloud complete membership gives you access to Adobe Muse CC, the other Adobe creative apps, and additional tools and services that allow you to take your creative idea from concept to publishing. Creative Cloud delivers continuous value to members by providing immediate access to new features, tools, apps, services, and upgrades as they become available.
    When I "Publish" in Adobe Muse CC, do I have to pay for hosting with Adobe?
    Adobe Muse CC allows you to publish your temporary website on the Adobe hosting platform at no charge for a 30-day trial period. This gives you the opportunity to send a live URL to your client for review. All sites in trial mode with Adobe will include the domain, example <htp://website.businesscatalyst.com>. If you decide to take the site "live" by paying for the monthly hosting, you can transfer your own domain and remove the .businesscatalyst.com subdomain. Or you can export the HTML and host the final site with a hosting provider of your choice.
    regards,
    steve

  • What makes up the 'other' section?

    When I went to sync my 3gs iPhone today all of a sudden it says 'other apps' section is over capacity. What constitutes this section and why would it jump since last week's normal weekly sync session?

    Hi John.
    I don't know specifically what is in the "Other" section but I would suspect it would be album art, lyrics, operating system etc.
    hope this helps
