ITunes says I have 3 GB of other storage? How can I get rid of it?
I JUST got a new iPhone 4 this morning. I plug it into the computer to download music and it stops, saying that I'm over capacity and that I have 3 gigs of "other" storage. I've tried every trick there's to get rid of it but it just won't go away and I'm getting extremely frustrated. If you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated!
I've had this same problem before, and I've found that restoring the iPhone is the best option. When you hookup your iPhone to the computer, click on your iPhone in iTunes and click backup to this computer. Once your backup is completed, you should find an option in iTunes to restore iPhone to previous backup/factory default. You should click this and chose to back it up to the backup that you just did! This fixed it for me!
"Other" is basically, not the iOS, but the things that helping it run.
Its impossible to get All of it away but you can get Some off it away. Iv managed to keep it down to 600mb (under 1GB)
The first thing is shutting it down then turn it back on will usally change it.
The best option is to do a restore. (Re intall the iOS)
On itunes, connect your phone
Then press back up (because you want to save your data)
Then press restore
Wait for the iOS Software to download
Then wait to install
Once installed set up your iphone again
Then go back to itunes, and press "restore from back up" MAKE SURE IT IS "FROM BACK UP"
Then check again and you should have most of it gone
Download stuf
- What is 'Other' storage on IPhone 4 and how to get rid of it? I have just over a gb worth of other storage i have tried wiping and restoring my iphone. I know there are some apps to view the 'other' but i don't want to pay for them, is there any free apps similar to this without jailbreak or any other ways to get rid of it?
- I want to get rid of some storage on my iPhone 5 I have a 16 GB iPhone 5s and I've started realizing that I need more storage on my phone. My question is that when I sync my phone to iTunes to see what I need to do to get rid of storage, it says that I have 4.59 GB that is free, but when I go to general - usage (in settings) it says that I have 1.5 GB free. I've synced my phone up multiples times to see if there was any glitch but there seems to be none whatsoever.
