  • What are "other" files when I look at storage

    What are "other" files when I look at storeage capacity? I have a HUGE amount of other and I am not sure what it could be.

    Please look at the "More like This" threads noted to your right.

  • "Other files" growing after failed sync

    Hi!
    I got an iPhone 4 32 GB and before iOS 5 my "Other" category was always somewhere
    between .4 and .7 GB and my free space was below 4GB.
    After installing iOS5 on it that values didn't change much.
    However when I tried my first iCloud Backup, I had to cancel it because
    it would have taken > 8 hours.
    That's probably when my "Other" category went to 1.5 GB.
    I tried every suggestion that I found:
    - turn off and on
    - restore from backup
    - setup as new iPhone and restore from backup
    - stop syncing music and video, add one more music and start syncing again
      which will replace all the music.
    - reduce the iCloud backup below 600 MB and let the backup complete
    Nothing did show any drastic improvement.
    I still have an old ipod touch 1GB which I sync sometimes.
    This got really no Other files at all.
    Today I tried to add another game for my son to it.
    It started syncing and suddenly "Other" grew to about the amount the
    new game would have taken.
    The new game wasn't compatible with a 1G so it didn't show up
    on the touch at the end of the sync but the Other space remained occupied.
    That's why I think that unsuccessful sync's will end up in Other
    and stay there forever.
    I tried to look for anything obviuos with iPhone explorer but
    since it is not JBen I'll be out of look to find the garbage.
    I'd appreciate any help I could get except:
    - setup as new iphone and DON'T restore a backup.
    Regards ... Franz

    If all your music is in iTunes, you could try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings
    Alternatively if your iPod is set to update automatically then try this:
    1. Connect your iPod
    2. Disable "Show Album art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    3. Syncronise the iPod with iTunes. (Disconnecting and then reconnecting your iPod will do the trick)
    4. Re-enable "Show Album Art" in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>iPod.
    5. Syncronise the iPod again.

  • Music files missing after sync with iTunes

    All of my devices are updated to the last version.
    I created playlists to manage syncing music from iTunes to iPhone.
    Sometimes my music files would be missing on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.1 after sync with iTunes 12.0.1.26.
    When music missing, they look OK in iOS playlists, but will appear a "waiting for copy” symbol on the right side then jump to next song one by one when I try to play.
    It's really weird because it happens randomly, I totally have no idea when it will happen again, more even far from why ...
    Zen style APPLE !!

    It sometimes takes awhile for the info to download from itunes.
    try this:
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • My playlist does not appear after syncing ipod

    My playlist is not syncing to my ipod...what should i do?

    Having the same problem.  I have an 8gig Nano touch my wife just bought.  When I add a playlist it doesn't show up after sync. I have it set up to manual sync, so I should be able to drag & drop like all my other devices.
    It shows that it is on there when connected to the MacBook Pro, but does not show up on the iPod after eject.

  • What does "Other" mean when I sync my iPod touch 4G on iTunes?

    When I sync my Apple produtcs to my iTunes, "Other" appears on the storage bar. What does "Other" mean because it says that I have 5.13 GB of "Other"

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • What is XML file in After Effects

    When you go to File>Save As>Save As XML what kind of file is this used for?
    Thanks,
    joe

    It's an alternative project file format. It's not particularly useful in its current form, but it is intended to become a way to access elements of a project as plain text.

  • What are "other files" on iphone?

    Hello
    I am trying to delete the other files from my iPhone so I can download the new update, but I havent got a clue how to delete them...what are they? And how can I get rid of them?
    Thanks
    Claire

    Could be favorites, history, voicemail, etc.
    It is normal to have a gb or less of other.  More than this indicates corrupt files.
    A restore should resolve.

  • Syncing with outlook 2010, if i leave empty the Home address it cames United States as default and if i fill home address and left work address empty Saudi Arabia appears after sync in Iphone.

    Kindly help me in this problem.

    Seriously folks?  I know it was long but I added all info to negate a need for endless back/forth clarifications.  No answers???
    FYI, i tried syncing contacts to google/gmail and it was a total clusterF as well.  No gmail contacts, synced iphone, gmail contacts populated w/ all info but w/lots of repeat entries.  Used seek and merge repeats in gmail and then resync but no such luck.  Lots of iterations and nothing but fails.  Seems everytime the phone and the gmail lists are "as desired" a new sync puts a ton of repeats back into gmail or onto phone.  Still perplexed and still needing help....
    pretty please....

  • Hide Sidecar files appearing after upgrade?

    How do you hide Sidecar files NOW appearing in NEF photo folder on desktop after Yosemite upgrade? In Adobe Bridge, you have option to hide sidecar files. Can't find a way to hide them from view in OS Finder folders.

    Oh, good idea!
    Changing it in explorer is forcing a rewrite of the tags, enough so that itunes can now recognize them.
    Did you ever have a window 7 beta (build 7000) looking at those files? That version had some problems that affected MP3s.
    It sounds similar to a wide-spread issue where itunes will not read tags that other programs will read.
    Your situation has a different twist, in that they were all originally ripped with itunes.
    Anyhoo....they have somehow gotten corrupted, either from itunes or something else. I don't know what you have on your PC and what is common among those 700 songs that got hit.
    I can't think of anything at the moment that will rewrite all the tags quickly, except for MP3 validator - but I wouldn't want to use that on my library, because it takes the tags back to v1 and loses artwork.

  • Mysterious file appearing after login

    Hi all,
    I recently bought my parents a 2nd hand iMac (Duo Core 2 1.83ghz). After setting up a user account and removing the preference files (which caused a few hiccups), I now have a file that appears when I open the hard drive.
    It has no name and is 1.4MB in size. Opening it in TextEdit shows lots and lots of characters (non-English or anything for that matter).
    Does anyone have an idea why this file would be appearing and how to fix it? I've never seen anything like this before. Sometimes the trash has a "Recovered Files" folder when I have done nothing.
    I've run permissions repairs and verified the disk (which said it didn't need repairing) but I will look at it tomorrow to see if I can find a solution.

    Jonathon, kguy is right that you should do a secure erase and then a clean install of everything on a second-hand machine regardless of whether or not you clear up the problem with the mystery file first. I would load only the applications I want on the machine (just in case the current configuration has apps and other things left over from the prior owner) and then you can rest easy.

  • Photo keeps re-appearing after sync

    I have a bizarre situation with my iPhone: I connect it to my MacBook: iPhoto tells me that there is one new photo on the iPhone, I import it into iPhoto on my MacBook and delete it on my iPhone. So far so good. Next time I connect my iPhone to my MacBook the same photo is back, I import it, delete it from the iPhone. Next time I connect my iPhone to my MacBook - the photo is back again.
    What the heck is happening here, why does this poto keep reappearing again and again and again?
    Btw: I have iCloud.

    Same issue every time I sync. Previously synced photos come up, seemingly at random. I have to click the individual photos that have not yet been synced. This started after I began using the Cloud.  Any help here?

  • How do I get rid of files that only show up on my iPod, but not on my computer when connected? These files appeared after I reconnected my iPod to my computer, and appear to be music files linked to a website.

    I purchased an album on itunes and everything was fine. Then when I reconnected my ipod and it did some autosync (which I have it set up to do manual sync) it added every single song a second time, but apparently they are some sort of internet file, that will only play when I have internet connection. These files won't show up through my computer at all and I can't figure out a way to delete them directly from my ipod either. It's incredibly annoying as when I try to listen the album it plays through two songs, then automatically quits playing when it gets to these phantom files...

    This is not an itunes question at all.
    Try posting in a more appropriate forum.

  • IPhoto '08 photos don't appear after sync

    When I sync my iPhoto '08 library to my iPod, the photos appear blank-how can I fix this?

    All the caption are there and I have the ability to edit the captions and tag people but the actual image isn't there.
    This suggests that the Photos are there but not showing for some reason. Have you tired looking with a different Web Browser?
