What makes up the "Other" category on the I-Touch

I have synched my I-touch with MS outlook. I synched Contacts and Calendar. The total amount of space used after synching is 9.62 GB. This seems like an awful amount of space used. How can I determine what makes up the 9.62 GB?

HT1451 I have the 128gb iPad 4 but for some reason the category other (yellow) says I have 64.26 gb being used. What is stored under other category on the iPad?

The long and short of it is that you will probably have to restore your iPad. That giant "other" space is a sign of a corrupt file from a sync, I am pretty sure, but I am quite sure that the way to resolve it is to restore the iPad.
You can search the discussion site for similar threads but I think you will find that a restore is the way to correct it. Read this one.

What is better, the iPod touch 5g or the iPad 2

What is better the iPod touch 5g or the iPad 2

I would have to say the iPod Touch 5th Gen. because its more portable and costs less but iPad have its own PROS like better internet surfing and you can do alot more things on it but the choice is yours. Oh and just a side note, I bet they are just gonna make a new iPad soon so if i were you stick with iPod Touch 5th Gen.

What happened to the multi-touch gestures in Finder?

I've updated to Lion last week. Overall, I think what Apple did was great to the overall experience. However, my only gripes are in Finder. What happened to the multi-touch gestures? The only thing that I can do is flip through files in cover view using two finger swipes.
What happened to the pinch to zoom in and out? I've seen other posts about this so I'll stop here. Apple please bring this function back. I'm tired of moving my mouse to the drag handle.
Secondly, I was using three finger swipes to navigate to the previous and next folder in Finder. Since two finger is used to flip through cover view, I see why they couldn't extend the back/forward function to two finger swipes as they did in Safari and I know that three finger swipe is used to change desktops. I wish that Apple was more creative to leave this function in somehow.
Is there a way to bring these functions back to Finder? These are the functions that I used all the time.

That doesn't explain why they would remove the pinch to zoom in and out. That is not be used by anything else in finder. If I'm going through pictures, I would like to zoom in on the images for cover view.
As far as the three figure swipes to go back and forth in finder, I understand why that has been removed. However, Apple could have implemented the two finger swipe just like in Safari which is sensitive to the acceleration of the swipes. If you swipe with two fingers somewhat fast, you can go back and forth between previous and next page. If you swipe with two fingers slowly, you can pan left and right on the same page.
They could have done something to retain the functionality versus taking out the functionality all together. As of now, these functionalities do not exist. I'm hoping that something is going to change and we'll have to see what the future brings.

What is better the iPod touch or the ipad 2?

What is better the ipad touch or the ipad 2?

If you are talking about the iPod touch 5th Gen, I think the iPod touch is the best bet. They both have the A5 Dual-Core Processor but the iPod touch has the 4-inch retina display (1024 by 640- Which is 326 Pixels per inch), is better in portability and had better camera. If you mean the iPod touch 4th Gen, that is tough but I think the iPod touch 4th Gen is better because even though the iPod touch 4th Gen has an A4 Single Core Processor, it has the 3 inch retina display (960 by 640- Which is also 326 Pixels per inch), the price is less and the camera is the same. So overall, the iPod touch is the best bet!

What makes up the space allotted to "other"?

Hi all,
I recenlty installed lion on my system and went to the "about this mac". To my surprise, I found a huge 120GB of storage space alloted to "other". What is this 'other' and how can I get rid of it or at least reduce it?
I posted a screenshot below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I am piggybacking on this, as well. Maybe we'll get a good answer, because I'd like to free up as much space as possible on my machine.
I spent a good amount of time moving files off my computer, since they're backed up with Time Machine, and that only reduced my Other category by 2GB, even though I've taken 13-15GB off my machine. So, it's not documents (and I doubted that I could have that many pdfs and spreadsheets... I didn't). I use Clean My Mac to keep my machine from overflowing, but I'm suspicious about this much memory being gobbled up with items that I can't identify; is it ALL important, or is there a way for me to clear this Other slate? I bought a lean 128GB SSD, but I don't want to feel maxed out all the time, because this great machine stops working when the memory fills up.
Also, I assume that learning how to do this will help me maintain a better machine in the future.
I am going to visit a Genius Bar about this, if a genius doesn't raise their voice here. Also, I'd bet the answer can be found in the MacRumors forums?
Peace.

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

iTunes is already pre-installed on all new Macs. Do you mean that you updated it from Software Update?
Your iPod Touch problems should be posted in the iPod Touch forums. It's where the iPod users hang out.

What updates does the Ipod touch 3rd gen 8 gig get?

i was just wondering

Yes, a 3G iPod can go to 5.1.1. However, many users who think thay have a 3G actually have a 2G. A 2G can only go to 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
To update to 5.1.1 if you have a 3G the computer needs iTunes 10.5 or later.

Up to what IOS can the ipod touch 3g have??

i currently have IOS 4.3.3, but i can't update it to the latest, if there is one.

Yes. But some users who thought that had a 3G really had a 2G. A 2G can only go to 4.2.1. If you "3G" is 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3Gs. A 32 GB can be either.

What is in the iPod touch that makes it wifi compatible ? Is it possible to make a mp3 player wifi compatible ?, What is in the iPod touch that makes it wifi compatible ? Is it possible to make a mp3 player wifi compatible ?

I'm tryna make my mp3 player wifi compatible but first I need to know if it's possible or what I need to buy

You cannot. It would have to have a wi-fi radio installed into the device and the software to run it.

I think it is a shame for a company this large and world wide not to have live people to TALK to on the phone to help with issue instaed you have to type in to a computer . What happen to the personal touch and caring for your consumers it is SO frustrat

I don't understand why your company would not want to be customer freindly and helpful , If i wou;d have known there wwas no way of communicating with you other than typing i would not have purchased any of the ipod items we own . I think you should be ashame for your company for not adding a personal touch not every one is conputor savy and do make mistakes when typing but nno one in your company will help unless i chat online i don't always have time to do this and it makes me upset and angery when i have to talk to a computor instead of a live person I hanve talked to pple representive 2 were very freindly i was a complete A## and very rude i don,t understand how your company grows with bad attitueds and taking so long to respond back to you .I wish i could find another brand that did what the the ipod does andd i would toss mine for it .

First, please understand that you're not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Everyone here, with rare and limited exceptions, is just a fellow user.
If you want help directly from Apple with a technical problem with an iPod, you can either visit an Apple Store, if there's one near you, or you can call Apple tech support. You can find a list of phone numbers for Apple support for the various countries here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
If you are referring to problems with the iTunes Store, then as is common with most if not all download stores, Apple only provides technical support via email. I presume that they find it not to be cost-effective to provide phone support for such small purchases.
BTW, the forum you posted in, iTunes U, is for colleges and universities who provide content through the iTunes Store. For user questions about iTunes, use one of the general iTunes forums. If you want to comment to Apple, their feedback pages:
