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:

  • How can you tell how much space is being used up by your iTunes...I am trying to figure out how much space I will need to transfer my iTunes library to an iPod and which iPod to select?

    Start up iTunes, and select Music, then click Songs.
    Down at the bottom of the iTunes window, it will tell you how much space your library occupies.

    I will try that. Thank you.  I am hoping to buy a wifi hotspot, but wondered what type of data plan I should get if I were to use it consistantly for 8 hours a day (only on saturdays and sundays).  A great tool for work & presentations!!
    It will use minimal internet bandwidth unless your content is streaming from web>iPad>AppleTV. 
    Local network comms for content already on the iPad (eg presentations) will not generally use internet bandwidth apart from protected iTunes material that requires brief internet authorisation.

    If you still have the devices, import them to your computer (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them to your current device.  If they are only stored in backups, the only way to access them is to restore the device to the entire backup.  Note: you can only restore photos in an iPhone backup to another iPhone, and from an iPad backup to another iPad.  If the backups are on your computer, you may be able to extract the photos from the backup using 3rd party software such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

  • Why do I have to guess how much data I might use in a month when I select a plan?

    When I sign up for water service, I don't guess that I might use 1,000 gallons a month, and then pay three times the going rate for water if I take a few extra showers. I get charged for how much water I use that month.
    When I sign up for electricity service, I don't guess that I might use some set number of kilowatt hours, and then pay three times the going rate if we have a heat wave and I run my air conditioner for a few extra hours.
    Why do I have to guess how much data I might use, and then spend three times the going rate if I stay up watching youtube videos for a few extra nights?
    It is stressful to have to constantly monitor usage, and figure out ratios of how much I've used compared to how much time is left in the billing cycle to see if I need to curb my usage. It is not a good customer experience. I would prefer that data be charged a flat rate based on actual usage, perhaps with an option to throttle speeds at certain levels to prevent cases where a minor lapse in judgment could ruin my monthly budget, like forgetting to check data usage religiously on a device meant to simplify my life.
    Thank you for your consideration.

    Simple answer is Verizon is offering a block of data for usage.
    Where I live the water bill states my wife and I are being charged for 30,000 gallons per quarter/half and the price is say $60 however we never use any where near that amount. I send the meter reading in and it shows the amount we use. But the hamlet we are in has a set amount of gallons. Not fair but we live with it.
    For your data outside of the unlimited which is not available any more to new customers you may be a light user and never go over the 2GB for $30 dollars a month. If you do you will pay through the nose for data. If you pay for more data say 4GB and I don't have the price for it so lets say its $70 then you don't have to watch as much for overage fees. But you are paying for the data in advance so as not go over and get hit with whopping fees.
    It is just the way it is.

  • I have lost a 4th Generation iPod Touch and i was wondering how apple can help me find it.I all ready putthe find my Phone it but who ever has it didn't put it on the internet,on it

    How can i Contact apple to find my iPod touch?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • My email storage shows 13.3 GB used but I only have about 20 emails in my mailbox with no attachments.  Do I need to back up, delete everything and restore to get rid of the cache?

    My email storage show 13.3GB used but I only have about 20 emails in my inbox with no attachments.  I assume it's memory cache that's clogging my phone.  Do I need to backup and restore to get rid of all of it??

    There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
    Delete ALL your email accounts.
    Restart Playbook
    Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON.  Manual (push off) will burn battery.
    Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required. 
    Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi. 
    Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery.

  • New ipod touch charges but doesnt display how much it has charged

    I recently got a new ipod touch and it charges fine and everything, but when i switch it off and charge it it doesnt display how much it has charged (Although it does charge it) and sometimes if my ipod is switched off and i plug it into charge it swtiches it self on. Can anyone tell me if when it is switched off it is ment to display how much it has charged. Thanks

    Just to make sure that I understood your last question, here's what the ipod is supposed to do:
    If the ipod is switched completely off, it will not display anything, no matter if you push the home of sleep button. If you hold the sleep wake button for a longer time, the device will power up again, the same thing will happen if you plug in your switched off ipod into your charger or connect it to your computer via USB cable.
    So, if switched off, the ipod can not display anything, not even a status bar for it's battery.

  • How do I see how much memory is being used in 10.6.8

    I keep getting an error message that tells me I do not have enough memory.  And all of a sudden most of my disk space is gone. It went from having hundreds of free space to 90. gb.  I don't know how to check which programs are using all the memory and I have no big files down loaded.  I have an older imac, but it has always served my needs.  I have thrown away photos, (extras) Dumped some music, but It just does not help.  I have also restarted and repaired disk permissions. I can't afford a new computer right now.  HE

  • Getting rid of the Evil Microsoft rdc connections folder

    Just bought a lovely new imac but unfortunately Microsoft has followed me in the form of microsoft office 2011 and has bought along with it, its old invasive filing habits. and has been busy messing up my documents folder. I found a solution to getting rid of the Microsoft user data folder by moving it to user/library/preferences but the RDC connections folder keeps returning when I launch the remote desktop connection app. Is there anyway of moving this folder out of my documents too ?
    Thanks

    The command "chflags hidden <foldername>" just hides the folder from graphical interfaces. The folder will still be visible in terminal. In terminal if you type "ls" you will see all folders including hidden ones.
    So to unhide execute the following command in terminal.
    "chflags nohidden <foldername>"
    Specific commands for this use case are:
    To hide:      "chflags hidden ~/Documents/RDC\ Connections/"
    To un-hide:  "chflags nohidden ~/Documents/RDC\ Connections/"

  • How do i get rid of the page where i sent the message already.  it is stuck to that page.

    my mail is stuck to a draft that i have sent already a lot of times hoping it will close.  but it is stuck on that edit draft.  please help me to get rid of the page so i can check on my emails.  thanks

    Quit the mail app completely and then restart the iPad. Then see if you can cancel the draft.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • How much space is occupied by OSX Mountain Lion on the hard disk

    Hi guys,
    can someone tell me please how much space is occupied by Mountain Lion on hd? I whould like to buy a new Hybrid hd but it has only 8 Gb of nand flah memory.
    I fear that operating system will be divided on both hd partitions (ssd and serial ata 5400 rpm.)... Someone have some experience with hybrid storage?
    Thanks a lot

    Then you don't want that model. You want the Momentus XT500 which is a 7200 RPM drive. For example, Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB 2.5 Inch Solid State Hybrid Drive ...

  • I have new Ipod which shows mail,but when I punch to see all I see are the mail providers. The mail is set up correctly but I can't get rid of the providers to see my e-mails. Help??

    I have new ipod touch which shows mail messages, but when I punch to access, all I get are mail providers. How can I get rid of mail providers and see my messages since the correct mail providers are set up already?

    I do not know what you mean by "punc to see all mail provider".
    And also what does "I can't get rid of the providers to see my e-mails".
