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 the "other" category that occupies storage in iPod touch

    What is in the "other" category that occupies storage in iPod touch?

    The "other" can be corrupted data that keep accumulating, e.g., when you tried to update iOS or apps.
    This is best removed by restoring the iPod.
    Try to restore your iPad by syncing with iTunes and restoring from a backup.  Only, if the backup includes the large "other", restore as a new device.
    See this document on how restoring an iPod:   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Caution: Restoring as a new device will delete all your data.  Save all data to your computer, before you do it, so you can sync the data back.

  • What is the "other" category of data on an ipod?

    I just inherited one of my kid's iPod 4gb mini. After restoring to facotry specs, it shows a capacity of 3.77 GB with free space of 3.75 GB. I created a playlist that is 3.74 GB in size. When I try to load it on the ipod, it says the playlist is too large. I noticed that as the playlist is loading the "other" category grows at a ratio of 1 to 3 with the audio category. In other words for ever 3 MB of audio, 1 MB of "other" is created. What is this? Why is it eating up my space?

    Other can be files that are on there if you are using the iPod as a removable storage device or Album Artwork, Notes, Contacts, Firmware etc. If you feel that Other is being incorrectly reported then try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • What can the "other" mean when I sync my iTouch?

    It takes up a large portion of my device so I wanted to know what is was exactly.

    Other usually refers to the data stored in apps. However, a high amount of other is a sign of corrupted files. I would do a restore in iTunes.
    Plug the iPod into a computer and launch iTunes. Select the iPod on the left under "DEVICES." Then click Restore under the "Summary" tab at the top.

  • What is the other ( yellow) when you plug

    What is the other yellow when you sync your phone to itunes? I takes 4 gbs of storage.

    It can be favorites/recents/etc,
    It should be less than 1GB.
    More than this indicates corrupt files.  A restore should resolve.

  • 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.

  • I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

  • 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.

  • What is the other section on iTunes!!!?

    I updated my iPod touch 64g 3rd generation to the new system.  I recently had about 18 gigs free, but with the new system I have .98 free space and 21gigs in the other section so now all of my pics won't sync to my iPod!  What in the world is the problem and what is the other section and why is it so full all of a sudden!?

    Many files got corrupted during the update process and are in the "other" category. To recover, you need to restore your iPod.  First try restoring from backup. If not successful (since the corruption is in the backup), you need to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB 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"
    as recommended by:

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

  • HELP!!!!!!  What does the "Other" category mean when iPhone is on iTunes???

    Hey,
    I was fixing to sync my 3G iPhone when i realized i didnt have enough room for what i wanted because the "other" category is taking up so much space. Ive reset iTunes and iPhone but still see so much space taken up by "other." I've deleted all emails and texts and only have a few pictures on my iPhone but the "other" still takes up over 3gigs on my iPhone.
    What is the "other" section and how do i get rid of items that the phone puts in the "other" category???
    Also, as another seperate problem, i believe, i cant seem to locate the application link in my itunes library anymore for some reason even though the tab under the iPhone device link recognizes my applications in iTunes. How do I get the Applications link back in my iTunes library?
    THank you so much!!!

    OK,
    I checked my prefernces and you were right, the applications weren't checked. Thank you.
    As far as my "other" problem.....before i do the restore, how do I backup my iPhone? When i clicked on restore a moment ago it said it will erase my phone but i thought that iTunes periodically backedup my phone anyways.

  • What is the "other" content on my 6th gen nano?

    16 gig nano with only selected music and podcasts is showing 6.4 gig of audio and 8.4 gig of "other" content.  What is the other content and how do I remove it?

    Other usually consists of specific files and that are not readable by iTunes such as the iPod's operating system, files that may be stored on the iPod (when using it as an external hard drive), album artwork, and in the case with older iPods, games.  However, sometimes, it always consists of corrupt files that are leftover from sync operations with iTunes that went bad.
    The only way to reduce the size of the Other category is to connect the iPod to iTunes and restore it to factory settings.
