I have an ipod 5th generation and the last ios update with the new emojis. The other bar takes up 4.70gb of space, more than anything else on my ipod. Everything I try to do including resetting it to original storage does not work. Is anyone else having this problem? im pretty sure im not the only one. How can I get rid of this? I cannot even enjoy my product..this is a serious problem that apple needs to fix.
iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 8.3
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

i am going to try it and see how it goes. thank yu
so i restored and backuped my ipod like you said and the other is still there except now it is 4.43gb instead of 4.70. what are corrupted files exactly? is that like when you illegally download music? or....by factory settings do you mean swipe the ipod clean and start over completely? because i dont want to have to lost my photos, thats pretty much all im worried about. (i dont use icloud because it doesnt work.)thank u for your help
The excessive "other" is NOT caused by music.
Import the photos to your iPod
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Restore to factory settings/new iPod and then sync them to your iPod
They will be in their own album, not in the Camera Roll album
why does other taking up majority of my space?
