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.

  • 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" 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.

  • I recently tried to download two movies.  Would not complete download. Movies were removed from que, however, the Ipade now shows 10MB of "Other" content that I cannot delete. Any suggestions?

    Tried to download two movies. Neither was successful. Apple removed them from download que and reimbursed cost. Now I have 10MB of "Other" content that I cannot delete.  There are NO movies listed on the Ipad or Itunes to delete.  Any suggestions?

    To Scxy1234: I also don't know why my paste special options only had 3 choices excluding "device independent bitmap'
    To Steve Fan: I created the new second user account in my window 8. It was set as a standard account, not as administrator account as my first original user account. Specifically, i used the same email address with this forum account's to
    create this second user account. It means that the second user account in my laptop also was a Microsoft account.
    Can you guess what happened after i had logged in to the second user account? I opened some random websites by firefox, copied and pasted all text and pictures on these websites into a word document and onenote successfully without any problems!!!!
    I saved this word document and exported this onenote section to a Usb. After that, i switched from second standard user account to my window administrator account and opened the two files which were saved to Usb previously. They were opened and displayed
    normally as the same as what i previously had seen in the second user account, i.e. pasted text and pictures were displayed normally. However, when i opened the same web address again to copy the same text and pictures to word and onenote, there were only
    text lines pasted successfully, excluding pictures! This old strange problem happened again when using original administrator account for logging in window. In contrast, when using the second standard user account to log in window, copying and pasting text
    and online pictures of Microsoft office worked normally.
    I truly don't figure out the reason(s) caused this strange problem. I think my case is a special case because i tried all solutions other people had tried but nothing worked.
    Please help me!
    p/s: when i logged in the second standard user account, i opened the paste special options in word and there were only 3 choices under paste special options, excluding "device independent bitmap"

    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:

  • Ever since I downloaded FF 4, I cannot play Text Twist on any of the websites that have it. All the other games that I habitually play seem to be working fine. What happened?

    Ever since I downloaded FF 4, I try to play Text Twist on 3 different websites and nothing happens. It attempts to load the game and I get a blank screen. All of the other games that I habitually play seem to be working fine. What happened?

    I got it working with the help of Live Chat tech support. There was some sort of error happening with my graphics driver... something that was not a problem with my previous version of Photoshop was now a problem with the new version. I updated the graphic card driver and software via the manufacturer's website and that helped me get through.
    After updating the driver... at first it felt like I was going backward a bit... I got an expired trial period error again on opening Photoshop the first time, but then I tried again logging out and logging back in to CC as noted previously ( http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/cc-applications-crash-immediately- launch.html ) ... and this time that helped fix the trial error and this time that was not followed by crashing (thanks to the graphics driver update).
    I have an ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card. The previous version of the driver I was running did not work with Photoshop CC. I have now updated the driver to version 12.104.0.0 and everything is working now.
    Thanks to the Live Chat technician who quickly identified my graphics card as the issue!

  • What is the "other" that is suddenly taking up so much space on my hard drive?

    How do I find what is the "other" listed on my hard drive and clean it up?  Seems to be taking almost 80gb's of space now.  Also on my iPhone and iPad, although much less space is being taken.

    read "more like this".

  • How do I erase the "other" files that are occupying my computer

    I already deleted pics, music, etc and I am ready to continue to delete unnecessary files. How should I erase the "other" files that are in my computer. Please, advice. Thanks

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • 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.
