Hello everyone: Today I'll be posting a short video with instructions on how to get your "other" category back to a reasonable level in
iTunes, as you can see in my iTunes here, my "other" category approximately 740 MB in size
that's a perfectly normal size. However in some cases you will have a prolem where you "other" category starts to grow to 2 Gig's, 6 Gig's and
even more. The first time I encountered this problem I looked around on Google to see what solutions were out there. Unfortunately the
only solution I could find required me to reset my Phone, reinstall all my apps and rebuild the settings. As you can imagine this to a long time
to complete and after short time this issue came back again to haunt me. Only this time I was determined to find a better solution
I did some more Google searching and I stumbled on to web site had the answer, unfortunately I can't remember the URL to that
site anymore,but I do remember the instructions I found that fixed my problem.
I will show you these steps in hopes it helps you out and saves you the trouble of having to re establish your phone all over again
and the best part is these steps is that they are easy to perform and there isn't very much to carry out.
In Step one, you'll see while leaving your phone plug into your computer via a USB cable and leaving iTunes open, you want to press the
power button and the home button on your iPhone at the same time but only for a few seconds
you should then see the option to shut down your phone. Allow the phone to shut down and leave it off for about 30 seconds
In Step two, you want to power the phone back up again , wait till it gets to the main home screen and everyhting is loaded up
Now go back in to iTunes on your computer
and re-sync your phone. You should see the other category go back down to more reasonable level
keep in mind you do not want to press both buttons and more than 10 seconds once he gets 10 seconds you will put the phone into a mode
called DFU Mode. whch is more of a diagnostics or firmware upgrade mode. In order to get out of that mode, if you do get in to that
one accidently. Simply press both buttons again, for approximately 10 seconds and you should be able to get out of that mode.
