I have been having this problem with “other” too, I think its the picasa originals folders inside each picture folder. Does that make sense to anyone else. Also can you suggest how i can move them so that i can sync the rest to my Ipod.

Thanks

My ‘other’ bar was 1.5GB, and I did some looking around then realised that it might not be the apps installed themselves, but the data that they create. So for instance saved games on a game.

I didn’t have much of these saved games, so I tried deleting facebook. Voila! over 1GB of other data disappeared, I guess it could be from all the facebook messages etc

How do you get to this mysterious “I Drive”? I cannot find it, but since there is 3GB of ‘other’ space on a 8GB itouch, I am greatly disadvantaged. Could someone post a slight walkthrough?

I do not have a fancy iPod I only have the 8GB iPod Nano and I also have this mysterious orange bar. I have tried deleting all of my artwork for my music, pictures, TV shows, movies, etc. I still cannot make this thing disappear. I really need some detailed instructions on how to make it go away because it is the most annoying thing, and I can’t add all of my music because it is in the way! Please Help?

I like to test things before posting info and what worked for me on my jailbroken Ipad was to empty the trash within IFile.

The Orange bar contains numerous types of data. Primarily it is constituted of notes, cached data, and saved APP info. The short and skinny is that anything not synced through iTunes or involving the OS itself is thrown into the “other” section. So the actual answer is: it could be anything…..lol Hope this helps.

thanks guys – i had been messing around with iphoto creating albums and scanning lots of old photos on my mac – the orange bar seemed to be overtaking the iphone – i have cleared the cache from safari and the orange bar has almost gone!

The “Oarnge” in my case was associated with interupted installs …
Go to root/tmp folder and cear the necessary files there

Hi Joy,
Like I responded to GW my orange other bar issue was somehow related to the groupings that I had in iPhoto. I do know that regardless there will always be some portion of “other” present. I have been through several iPods and have always had this appear – but it was never out of control until I did a major overhaul and regrouping within my iphoto library.
