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.

  • What is the "other" content that is displayed in iTunes iPhone 4S sync?

    How may one identify it, and remove it, if desired? Thanks.

    Hello djcerta
    The Other category on your iPhone is contacts, calendars, messages, emails and their attachments, Safari Offline Reading List, settings, and other system resources. Also check against the Usage readout on your iPhone. Messages can take up space, especially if they have pictures and movie messages.

  • 6th Gen Nano - Sound Check doesn't work

    Hi
    The sound level on my 6th Gen Nano is all over the place. There is a big variance in volume from one song to the next which is both annoying and dangerous to my hearing. The Sound Check function is turned on in both the Nano settings and iTunes.
    Does anyone know a fix to this before my ear-drums blow out?

    Sound check is basically useless. Hasn't worked effectively on any model I've purchased. However, as others have pointed out, you can adjust the volume of a song so that your playlists don't cause public embarrassment. Simply do a control "i" on a particular song. In the "info" tab, you can increase or decrease the volume of a particular tune. However, if you make the adjustment, be sure to adjust all of the tune from that album. Otherwise, when you play the album, the song you tweaked will have a different volume from the rest of tunes on the album. It ain't a great fix... but it's better than what the programmers have done with sound check.

  • HT202183 My power button on 6th gen nano stopped working.

    hello everybody.
    the power button on my 6th gen nano stopped working. everything else is ok but won't switch on unless plugged in to power. then its fine.
    I think the power button is broken/stuck.
    Anybody else have this problem?
    If so how did you fix it/ how much did it cost to fix?

    Take the iPod Nano into an Apple Store.  After the folks there examine it, they will quote you an estimate.  Or you can call them and ask.

  • Power Button Stuck on 6th Gen Nano

    Hi,
    If the Power button gets stuck (in the "ON" position) on my 6th gen Nano, and the device is less than a year old, can I still get Apple to replace it with a new one --- even if all I have is just the serial number on the device and nothing else?
    Or do I need the receipt, and original box & packaging, etc...
    Thanks.

    You are still under warranty for a repair.  Call Apple tech support and report the problem to them.
    Have you considered purchasing AppleCare?  Extends your warranty 2 more years.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your post.
    I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    Because your issue is about ASP.NET website programming, I suggest that you can consult your issue on ASP.NET forum:

    The operating system for the iPod, album art, databases, etc. all make up the "other stuff". Think of it as all the backstage things required to make your ipod work.

  • What are the right content conversion parameter in this receiver ?

    Hi experts,
    Can someone help me with setting right Content conversion parameter in the Receiver of File adpater(FCC).The output file must be fixed length text file.
    Here is the receiver structure:
    <Recordset>
        <Header>
           <f1>01</f1>
           <f2> </f2>
           <f3> </f3>
        </Header>
         <Body>
            <SubBody1>
                  <field1 />
                  <field2 />
                  <field3 />
                  <field4 />
                  <field5 />
            </SubBody1>
             <SubBody2>
                  <field6 />
                  <field7 />
                  <field8 />

                  <field10/>
            </SubBody2>
         </Body>
        <Trailer>
            <f1>03</f1>
            <f2> </f2>
            <f3> </f3>
       </Trailer>
    </Recordset>
    Also Body can occure multiple times in the file but still will have this structure...Header and Trailer can occure only once in file.
    What are the right content conversion perameters in this case?
    Appreciate your help asap!T
    Thanks
    Jon

    <Recordset>
        <Header>
           <f1>01</f1>
           <f2> </f2>

            <f2> </f2>
            <f3> </f3>
       </Trailer>
    </Recordset>
    if this is the input structure then FCC goes like this ....
    Recordset:Header,Body,SubBody,Trailer
    Header.fieldFixedLengths – 10,20,30.. (based on you are structure fixed lengths)
    Header.endSeparator - 'nl'
    SubBody.fieldFixedLengths – 10,20,20  (based on you are structure fixed lengths)
    Body.endSeparator - 'nl'
    Trailer.fieldFixedLengths – 10,20,30….(based on you are structure fixed lengths)
    Trailer.endSeparator - 'nl'
    We might have to try out SubBody.endSeparator - 'nl' if Body.endSeparator - 'nl' does not insert a new line after each body record.

  • 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.

  • In itunes, what is the "other" category on the bottom?

    Im trying to download music, and it said i had too many pictures - so i deleted (manually) 1,571 pictures.. then my "other" category increased immensly and now says my phone is too full due to this "other" category. what is the other category and how can i make it smaller?

    "other" is content that is not in the named categories.
    Much more than a gb or so of "other" indicates corrupt files.
    A restore should resolve.

  • 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?

    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.
    To restore from backup see:

    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

    If it's contasntly growing and gets to be a big number then there's an issue. You should back everything up and restore.

  • 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.
