1.5 GB of mysterious 'Other' on iPhone
Hi everyone, on my iPhones capasity meter in iTunes it says that I have 1.5 GB of 'other', but I only have songs and apps, I haven't uploaded any of my videos, movies, tv shows, pod-casts etc.
Does anyone have the same problem or have any similar problems.
Thanks

Corrupt files. There already is a couple of threads on this "other" data.

Maybe you've got a crap load of photos? =/
Edit: ^ The above reply would make more sense. I didn't know you could get corrupt files, though

iPod database and album art takes up a bit of space. These are in the Other category.

I usually get some amount of other as well, and it always happens when the Apps section goes down.
A restore will fix it, but it always seems to fix itself - well, it does in my case.

Is your phone jailbroken. If so, it could be apps that you have installed from cydia such as NES ROMs ar whatever.

I restored and now it is saying that I have 266.7 MB of 'other' on my iPhone. Does that seem right.
Thanks

Personally, I wouldn't worry about Other - unless your iPhone starts playing up bigtime, then it's probably not an issue that you need to obsess over.
Not worth losing sleep about IMHO.  |

no, iPhone (crap username btw) that's where apple is storing all the porn for its free porn network. ( appleporn.com)
Every iphone has got about 500mb of "other" on it, that is apples mass raid system for their porn server.
