Capacity bar - what does the orange 'other' represent
When sycing my iPhone, the capacity bar on the bottom of the iTunes page shows a large amount of 'other' space being used (colored orange). What is 'other'?Photos, apps, music are other colors on the bar. I do not have anything else on my phone that would take up alot of space. Does anyone know what 'other' is?
Thanks that helps. It's 430 MB. I figured it was contacts but I don't think I have a lot compared to most people-- only 74. Just surprised me that it would take up so much of my space. I have 70 pictures on it which only take up 40 MG so it didn't make sense to me.
Hi! The other space is used for apps that allow you to store other information on your phone such as Fileaid which allows you to transfer & view files from your Mac. Tom
