Why does restoring my iPhone not resolve my 'other' category issue?! HELP PLEASE

I DON'T UNDERSTAND AND AM GETTING INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATED.
My 'other' category for my iphone is 8.7GB!!!! WHY?! WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?!
i restored my phone twice and absolutely nothing happened.
HELP PLEASE!!!!!! :'(

If it's backed up, it won't be gone.
Be sure you've transferred all iTunes media purchased on your phone into your computer's iTunes library.
Make sure you're synching your contacts with a cloud service or your computer's contact manager app.
Make sure you've imported all pictures taken by the iPhone into your computer.
You should be good to go.

If you are not on your home LAN you are limited by the bandwidth of the site you are using. While the WiFi speed is 54 mbps, that is shared among all users on that access point, so you don't get all of it. In addition, you are limited by the speed of the link connecting you to the Internet backbone. For most commercial WiFi sites this is rather slow; a T1, for example, is 1.55 Mbps, and it is also shared. So doing the same calculation, and assuming you are the only one using that connection, it would take about 13 hours to sync 7 MB. In addition, to do that, your computer with your bookmarks, music, etc. would have to be configured as a server accessible from the Internet, so any of the world's millions of hackers would potentially have access to your computer.
The reason email can sync is that it is stored on your ISP's server, and the iPhone can retrieve it from there. Your bookmarks, notes, music and videos are NOT on your ISP's server, so you would have to make your own computer a server, get (and pay for) a fixed IP address (typically ~$100/month), and know enough about what you are doing to configure it.
If you are on your home LAN your WiFi speed is 54 Mbps (for 801.11G routers), but you require 2 way transfers; one from your computer to the LAN and one from the LAN to your iPhone. Ethernet protocol also adds overheard, so the effective speed of a wireless LAN is around 25% of the theoretical maximum bandwidth. Thus, your actual throughput is 25% of 54 Mbps, or 13.5 Mbps, and that is split in two by the need for your computer to upload while the iPhone is downloading, giving a total throughput of about 6 Mbps. Doing the same calculation again you get 20 minutes. But you are next to your computer anyway, so why not just plug it in and do it in 3 minutes?

Why does restoring and updating not work?

Hi. I'm trying to restore my iPod Touch through iTunes because it has a lot of "other data" on it, 3.1GB to be exact. I've read in a lot of places including here on this site that what is needed is a restore. Well, I've been trying to do that ever since July 2012 but the restore never completes. I've redownloaded iTunes a couple of times, everything is where it should be, and I have a really strong internet connection. The weird thing is that after a while restoring, I click on the status bar in the "Downloads" section of iTunes and it shows how much data is going, such as 1MB per minute or something along those lines, but then the data starts to drop until all is left is a really slow 100 something kbsp and it is at this time that the restore stops and a message pops up saying to check my internet but I have a really good internet connection and everthing is good. I do everything such as redownload iTunes and restart the computer and I have a DELL computer that is 2010 or 2011 running on Windows 7. Can anyone help me with this please?
Also, I try to update on iTunes but that also quits. I know I can update on my iPod but iTunes on my computer will always ask to update it before restoring even though I've updated. This was the case when iOS 6 was barely out. It kept on saying to update first and so I let it but then it doesn't do it and I can never restore.

Do you mean that when you move files on the Desktop, they don't stay where you put them ?.
If so - use Finder - View menu - Show View options & choose 'Arrange by' : none
If not - please describe exactly what the problem is.

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call. So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of. Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message. Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message.

Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

Why does my address book not sync to iCloud?

I believe the duplicate address book accounts stems from the move from MobileMe to iCloud and both accounts still being active.
This is how I merged the two address books:
1) To make sure all the contacts are in both:
a) I selected On My Mac account - clicked on any address - Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the iCloud account - answered OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
b) same in reverse: select the iCloud account - click on an address - click Command A to select all - drag the contacts to the On My Mac account - answer OK to merge and resolve duplicates.
In system preferences I found an iCloud icon and also a MobileMe icon. I was logged in under both.
1) In the Address Book preferences I selected iCloud and unchecked Enable this account.
2) In the Address Book I selected iCloud and clicked on the minus “-” to remove that account – leaving only the local Mac address book.
3) I went into system preferences and logged out of MobileMe
4) In system preferences I opened iCloud and the “Contacts” was not selected (from above) and I selected it.
I got a dialog box asking if I wanted to merge the iCloud contact with the local contacts – clicked YES.
… spinning wheel for a minute … voila – only one address book account – iCloud with syncing to iCloud and my iPhone.

Since I have iTunes match, why does my iTunes library not appear in iPhoto music options for slideshow?; only songs purchased or placed on iTunes over a year ago appear in the iPhoto library under the iTunes or purchased option.

Hi,
In relation to what ?
Your post has ended up in the iChat Community and does not appear to have anything to do with iChat or Messages.
My first thought would be have you highlighted something that you want to copy from one place to another ?
My second would be that you have created a CMD + C custom keystroke and there is conflict with the OS use of this.
My third would be there just is not enough info to work on

Hi troy0891,
If I'm understanding your question correctly, when your MacBook Pro wakes from sleep, the internal keyboard and/or trackpad are slow to respond. However, in your comments, you mention a bluetooth keyboard finder launches.
Since your internal keyboard and trackpad are not bluetooth devices, I think this may be the issue. In the resource below, take a look at the section I have highlighted, and see if deselecting the option to allow Bluetooth devices to wake the computer" resolves your issue.
OS X Yosemite: If your Mac won’t go to or stay in sleep
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18596?locale=en_US
Check your system’s Bluetooth settings:
Bluetooth devices can wake your Mac. If you don’t want a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse to be able to wake the Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Bluetooth.
Click Advanced, then deselect “Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer.”
If that option is already deselected, try turning your Bluetooth off if you are not working with a wireless keyboard and mouse.
Let me know if that helps ...

Why does the calender do not show the right time if you want to choose 10, 11, 12 o'clock or any other time with 1x:00?

Why does the calender do not show the right time if you want to choose 10, 11, 12 o'clock or any other time with 1x:00? It only shows 1:00 and there is no way to change the time to 1x:00.

Ok well you need to get your facts straight. You say the reason to upgrade to OS 4 but half of these have to do with the new iPhone 4 and not the OS. Two totally different issues

Why does gardens of time not allow feedback in the app store

why does gardens of time not allow feedback in the app store

Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com. You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.
