Why did my "other" category in itunes balloon to 10.5 gb after upgrade to ios 5?

Same happened here on my iphone 4. I heard it's something about bad meta data in the music files but I've no idea. It seems to be fixed by deleting the music from the iphone and then syncing it back on. No need to reset so far luckily!

Why does Calendar not go back to all entries in list mode after upgrading to iOS 6?

Why does Calendar not go back to all entries in list mode after upgrading to iOS6?

I have an iPhone 5 running at iOS7.1.1. The Calendar list mode previous to iOS 6 showed all past entries, which I found very useful. After the upgrade, it only showed the previous 12 months (as I recall). All past entries are still present, you just have to exit list mode to see them. I'm asking this now after finding the forum for the answer to rediscover the list function in iOS 7.

Itunes won't recognize iphone 3gs after upgrade to IOS 5

Backup for Iphone on itunes was made on DELL INSPIRON MINI 10 laptop running XP Professional, Thursday evening 10-13-2011.
Upgraded Itunes to new system (ios 5) Friday evening 10-14-2011.
Connected Iphone to laptop Saturday afternoon to sync and upgrade phone to ios 5. after 2 hours phone was wiped clear, and itunes dropped recognition icon from list. several attempts were made to re-sync. all failed, itunes would not recognize. ended up restarting phone and installing upgrade on another computer. Laptop still failed to recognize.
attempted upgrade to Ipod and it locked up on "Disconnect before removing'. opened Itunes dropdown and selected 'Diagose devise' and was able to restore ipod and sync with itunes. afraid to attempt 'diagnose' with iphone, now that it is working.
back-up for iphone still appears on itunes,,,, just can't back it up...XP is unable to 'ICloud' and my DELL Window Vista Home Premium won't install updates so ICloud won't load....

Help please - my computer does not recognize iPhone after upgrading to IOS4 and iTunes 9.2 ---- I have WIndows 7 --- have tried EVERYTHING and still it does not work. I want to do my albums via the computer, not iTunes since it adds the Photo Library folder, which is a duplicate of all my picture folders.
Does anyone have a real solution please? I have uninstalled, installed, deleted drivers, installed drivers - the computer says the drivers are working, but obviously not.
When is Apple going to post the solution so that people will know what to do - seems everyone has an idea, but none are working for me and the extra photo folder frankly drivers me crazy ---- something about iPod cache ----- do not want duplicate pictures.
And, will albums be able to be edited - can these pics not be sent to Facebook.
I know, several topics ----- what a mess Apple has created with IOS4 and iTunes 9.2. Ready to send the phone back!

ITunes keeps telling me the restore (after upgrading to iOS 5) has been interrupted.

I am trying to upgrade my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.
As my MacPro is still running Snow Leopard, I decided NOT to sync with iCloud but rather with iTunes.
Every time I connect the iPhone, iTunes tells me the restore has been interrupted and offers to resume backup.
When I do, it starts restoring, restarts the iPhone and then I get same message.... over and over again.

Did you try to use another USB cable or USB port?
If you would be on a PC, I would also suggest to check the security software settings, but on a Mac there is usually no 3rd party AV software installed.
Any other USB devices connected during the update process, besides keyboard and mouse?
Maybe you should consider to remove and reinstall iTunes, if changing the USB port or cable does not help.

Itunes does not recognize IPAD 3 after upgrading to IOS 6.

After updating my IPAD 3 to IOS 6, Itunes does not recognize my IPAD 3. What can I do to fix this issue?

I have a similar problem with the iPhone. Tried everything you can think of and then some. There is apparently some devastating bug 7.6 introduced into normal USB device recognition. I've been able to force the phone into recovery mode; the boot recovery USB driver does still work. Restoring the phone every time I need to sync is both scary and time-consuming.

After iOS 5 install on iPhone 4 my "other" category in iTunes is huge.

After iOS 5 install on iPhone 4 my "other" category in iTunes is huge. I can't find any clues as to why. Anyone else have this issue or any clues? I now only have 1gb left whereas before iOS5 I had 9 it's a bit strange. This isn't a complaint btw, just trying to problem solve!
Gracias.

I have noticed the same thing! Any suggestions??? I also notice that when I uncheck the boxes for not including music videos and voice memos the size of the music folder increases, and it does it so much so that I exceed the space on my phone.

Very vague question.
It should not.
There is no way to know with the vague question you asked and no information at all.

Why would my other category suddenly jump to over capacity?

why would my other category suddenly jump to over capacity?

I'm in the process of updating an iPod Touch and iPad2 to IOS5. I had the exact same thing happen in BOTH cases! I've never experienced it before.
The fix, in both cases, is as Ingo2711 stated - restore the device. And boy, has that been painful (as in taking several hours for each device).
While I accept that this problem has occured prior to IOS5 installs, I find it very odd that it occured to me on BOTH IOS5 installs. Either there is something common to both my devices (an application perhaps?) that cased it or something about the IOS5 upgrade that makes this problem more likely.
Someone with a lot more knoweldge than I have would need to look at it to figure out what's going on. I'll just be happy to have this issue behind me and hopefully, not see it again!

If this doesn't resolve it you most likely have a hardware failure. Fortunately, your phone is in warranty, so if you take it to an Apple store they will replace it.

Why did I lose my end call button at bottom of screen after last update ? I have to end a call by pushin button at top of phone

Hi dave2370,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. The red End Call button should still be working.
For initial troubleshooting, I would suggest restarting and resetting your iPhone, and also updating it to the latest version of the iOS software, which is iOS 6.1.4.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

After upgrade to iOS 5 there is a large chunk of data ( 9Gb) on the phone labeled as "Other" in iTunes.

After upgrade to iOS 5 there is a large chunk of data (>9Gb) on the phone labeled as "Other" in iTunes. I suspect this is the music library from before the upgrade. How do I delete this data?

Same happened here on my iphone 4. I heard it's something about bad meta data in the music files but I've no idea. It seems to be fixed by deleting the music from the iphone and then syncing it back on. No need to reset so far luckily!

I'm using ios5 in iphone4, but the 'other' capacity in itunes is keeping increasing every time after sync iphone4 from PC

I'm using ios5 in iphone4, but the 'other' capacity in itunes is keeping increasing every time after sync the iphone4 from PC, now the 'orther' usage is 0.64G.

You are of course deleting the tunes from within the iTunes interface.
The settings that I am referring to are your device settings for the iPad. It should show in the left column of iTunes when your iPad is plugged in.
Go through your playlists and make sure that the tunes(s) are removed from any playlist. You can prevent the sync as noted above then do a sync and the iPad should update with the content from you Mac.

Why is it that after upgrading to IOS 6, I could not retreive my full list of my purchased applications & ganes list in the app store now !!!!
Whenever I try to tab my purchased in the update feature of app store; not only does the long list of my previous purchases do not showed up like in IOS 5 do but after a while it just prompt out to the main home page. I tried this for both my 3GS and 4GS too and both have the same problem. APPLE INC please rectify this serious problem as soon as possible.

Did you read your other posted question, that has been answered.
