There are no harmful pesticides involved, making it the safest alternative to dangerous spot-ons. It is completely safe for pets and humans.
HerbalDefense Flea & Tick Squeeze-On is safe and effective.
Unlike similar products, HerbalDefense Flea & Tick Squeeze-On actually emits a pleasant smell for you and your dog, but an unwelcoming repellent to biting insects.
Powerful Protection - a safe alternative to spot-ons!
The HerbalDefense Flea & Tick Squeeze-On repels fleas and ticks throughout the height of summer. Just squeeze it on for natural repelling power!
Only Natural Pet HerbalDefense Flea & Tick Squeeze-On combines the scientifically proven flea & tick fighting power of Geraniol, a natural extract of the geranium plant, and Peppermint. These active ingredients work synergistically to create a topical solution that, when applied properly, repels fleas, ticks, and even mosquitoes from your dog. Soothing, soluble almond oil is used as a gentle base for these ingredients, allowing them to get to work safely and effectively.
This powerful squeeze-on utilizes the effective repelling properties of Geraniol and Peppermint.
Simply spread the hair between your dog's shoulder blades back until you see skin and apply the entire tube of Only Natural Pet HerbalDefense Flea & Tick Squeeze-On. That's enough to keep your dog protected for an entire month! The easy-to-apply treatment works by allowing the safe and natural essential oils to absorb into your dog's skin. Your dog will have an oily spot that will dissipate, but biting pests will quickly realize that he is no longer an inviting host. The combined, naturally occurring repellent properties of the Geraniol and Peppermint oil will keep the bugs away while leaving him unharmed.
Going natural is the safest way to repel insects and protect your pet. Compared to the dangers of chemical-based spot-ons HerbalDefense Flea & Tick Squeeze-On is a powerful, safe way to repel fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes from your dog:
Important Note If Your Pet Has Fleas: The HerbalDefense Flea & Tick Squeeze-On is designed for flea prevention, not eliminating infestations. If your pet is already infested by fleas, their environment is also infested, and the tag on its own will not be enough to mitigate the infestation. To eliminate existing flea infestations, we strongly recommend complementing the tag with other natural flea removal products, most especially the All-in-One Flea Remedy.
Natural Repellents Repelling biting pests is essential for any comprehensive natural flea control program, especially during the height of the summer months. Shop Dog Now >
Fleas have a number of strategic advantages in this war:
1. Masters of Maneuvers - Fleas are tiny, hard-shelled insects with incredible muscle power in their hind legs; they can jump 4-5 feet horizontally (or nearly a foot straight up). They're fast. They're adaptable. And they're hard to kill. Read more >
Be wary of the chemical flea control products
It is fine to consult your veterinarian about flea control, but be wary of the chemical flea control products.(see Flea Myth #8). In addition, veterinarians may not know the best ways to get rid of fleas in the environment. Read more >
Myth #3: Keeping the house clean will prevent fleas
Unfortunately, fleas can infest even the most spotless home. Fleas usually enter the house on your pets, but they can also hitch a ride on clothing, and have even been seen to jump right into the house on their own.Read more >

Sizing Guideline
Please Note
Occasionally some dogs may have a reaction to the essential oils in the Herbal Defense Squeeze-On, so we recommend testing the product initially by applying a few drops on the nape of the neck, and waiting 24 hours to evaluate any response before applying the full dose. If you do see an adverse reaction, wash your dog with a shampoo or dishwashing liquid that contains detergents, as this is the most effective way to remove the oils causing the reaction. This is not a common occurrence, but it is a good safeguard to use with any squeeze-on or spot-on products.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet Herbal Defense Squeeze-On Dog Flea Control:
I loved the fact that this product is all natural. Normally my dogs run when I would try to put the other stuff on them, but not with this. They just stood and let me apply it. Best part is when we got back from hiking and being next to lakes not one tick in sight and no other bites!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Works great without a strong smell
By Matilda's Mom
from Cincinnati, Ohio
My dog loved this one, it does not have a strong scent. I have used other brands that have a scent and she runs when she see it coming. She did not mind this one at all :)
By Poppy's mom
from hayward, ca
So far i like it mostly because it is non-toxic. Used to use similar one but not natural medication; and recently pills every month. Poppy seems to be itching now so i have to use the second tube. This product seems a bit "oily" after over a week but as long as she doesn't invite fleas/ticks/mosquitos it's OK with me as this product is non-toxic and natural and that's important to us.
Really Greasy & Messy
By Erinls36
from PA
I was so excited to try this completely natural flea & tick repellent, but now I really wish i hadn't wasted the money. Unfortunately, it leaves huge grease marks on my animals' fur that are nearly impossible to remove, even with soap & water. I have 2 cats & 2 dogs & all of them are constantly licking at their back at an attempt to clean themselves. I have never seen this much grease than any other flea product. It made a huge mess & I had to cover all of my furniture. I will be bathing them thoroughly & going back to my normal treatment
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Wish it had worked
By cpmom
from Morro Bay, CA
I am trying to get away from chemical products for flea control, but my dog has severe flea allergy issues, and this product does nothing to help him or my other dog without allergy issues. I have tried applying it every 3 or 4 days, but that doesn't help. I really wish it was more effective.
I wouldn't bother again
By Kat
from St. Petersburg, FL
Used this on my large dog. No adverse reactions but it didn't keep fleas off of her. Our yard and home are treated. I know this worked for others but not me.
By Tami
from Boise, ID
We are in tick season in Idaho. We went camping in desert with lots of sage brush one weekend and the next we went to the mountains. So far so good NO TICKS. We have 4 dogs that is really great news.

Follow up - worse than first thought
By k9hart
from Colorado - used while in Georgia
I wrote a review about ten months ago slightly more than two days after applying this product. But there were issues after that time that I feel I should share. I was beyond disappointed with how terribly oily and messy it was -- no one could even touch or play with my dog, which he didn't understand of course. Application left a huge oily spot that was not absorbed even after a week and I could not begin to rub it in - trying to do that just spread it around a larger area on my dog and got it all over myself. And it readily rubbed off on anything he lay on or brushed by. After a few days the product smelled bad as well. And I found a tick walking right through the oily area so it obviously does not repel ticks. When it became obvious the product was not going to be absorbed, I tried washing the area. After washing it three times there was still oily residue. In addition, my dog's hair had become darkened and discolored on his back and shoulder area where the product had been applied and where it had run. After ten months it still has not returned to what was its normal color before the product was applied and I don't know that it ever will. Another reason I am writing a follow up to my first review is that even after all the comments here about the ineffectiveness, oiliness, messiness, problems to dogs, staining of dog beds/furniture/clothing, etc. there is nothing in the description of the product to indicate that there have been any efforts to improve it. And there is still no disclosure about how truly messy it is, no warnings about the staining, etc. Consumers deserve to know this information. There are sufficient numbers of problems mentioned here that these comments should be taken seriously by the manufacturer and efforts be made to improve the product. I certainly take seriously that my dog's coat seems permanently discolored, all the time wasted on this product and trying to clean it off my dog, and the confusion it caused my dog because I could not handle him normally for days. It truly created a substantial disruption to our lives for more than a week. Not to speak of the time and hassle to return the product. So address these issues and maybe I'll try it again. I would love to have a non-toxic, natural product to use for fleas and ticks when needed but this is not the answer.

It worked!
By Honey
from Paulden, AZ
Worked very well, no more fleas. Was oily so I kept brushing it through the coat. Have not had to re-apply. No poison, no smell, very happy with it.

Saudi Aramco is the state-owned oil company of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is a fully integrated global petroleum and chemicals enterprise and a world leader in exploration, production, refining, distribution, marketing, and petrochemicals manufacturing. Saudi Aramco manages proven conventional reserves of 260.1 billion barrels of oil and the fourth-largest gas reserves in the world, 279 trillion cubic feet.
Earthwatch's relationship with Saudi Aramco is primarily through the company's European affiliate, Aramco Overseas Company, which provides services to Saudi Aramco, including supply chain management, strategic sourcing, quality management, technical support, and administrative support.
Supporting research and environmental education.
Saudi Aramco employees joined a specially developed training team in Kenya focusing on mangrove restoration, reforestation, and ecosystem service enhancement.
Aramco Overseas Company became a corporate supporter in 2009. The Inspiring the Next Generation Program was launched in 2010 and ran for two years. This program provided fully funded places on Earthwatch environmental research projects to young people from Saudi Arabia and the U.K., spreading cultural awareness and helping them to develop a connection to and passion for nature.
In 2012, Saudi Aramco supported Earthwatch research and environmental education focusing on business-relevant conservation issues. A team of Saudi Aramco Environmental Protection Department employees joined a specially developed training team in Kenya that focused on mangrove restoration, reforestation, and ecosystem service enhancement. This was designed to facilitate knowledge exchange between Saudi Aramco and Earthwatch scientists, with the aim of supporting Saudi Aramco's ambitious mangrove reforestation program in Saudi Arabia, which will plant over one million mangroves along the Kingdom's shores between 2011 and 2016.
In 2013, the partnership is researching human–wildlife conflict in South Africa, in particular exploring interactions between communities and leopards. This program will include a tailored training team for early-career conservation scientists, furthering their professional development and helping them to become conservation leaders. These funded training places will be promoted through the Earthwatch research network, including in the Middle East where the critically endangered Arabian leopard is in desperate need of protection.
Earthwatch's partnership with Saudi Aramco is supporting important environmental research, which increases scientific knowledge and drives conservation action. The partnership has also engaged a wide range of environmental stakeholders, including young people (the next generation of environmental ambassadors), early-career conservation scientists in the developing world (future environmental leaders), and Saudi Aramco's employees (who can play an important role in improving the environmental performance of their company).
Looking to the future, we hope to further develop our partnership in order to support Earthwatch's global mission and help Saudi Aramco to fulfill its commitment to protect and nurture the natural world.
The Aramco Overseas Company has been a corporate supporter since 2009.
Engaging a wide range of environmental stakeholders, including early-career conservation scientists.
"Aramco Overseas Company on behalf of Saudi Aramco is dedicated to best-in-class collaborations to ensure that global energy needs are met for generations to come. We are committed to establishing a robust strategic partnership with Earthwatch Institute, which ranks among the leading environmental think tanks, with internationally recognized experts and a fantastic research potential to help guide our commitment to environmental protection."

INTERVIEW: We Talk to Architect Charles Newman About 15,000 Bottle Caps for Africa
What started as the 15,000 Bottle Caps for Africa concept just a few months ago is now an actual built computer learning center and library thanks to architect Charles Newman and the organization Under The Acacia. The Kenya-based project revolved around Newman's inclusive approach to design, which made it imperative that he work closely with the local Maasai people and give them ownership over the build. More than an architectural feat decorated with colorful bottle caps laid out by Maasai women according to traditional jewelry patterns, the project also creates social cohesion and introduces technology in a non-intrusive way. Newman explains, "In a community that has historically resisted western influence, allowing them to create something unique to their tribe helps them understand that while computers might be foreign, it is an opportunity to further enrich their own culture." Read on for Inhabitat's exclusive interview with this revolutionary architect.
Inhabitat: How did you get involved in development work?
Charles Newman: After working in New York City architectural offices for a few years I began to grow tired not only of the office politics, but also of the fact that I was not reaching my true potential by picking out throw pillows and chandeliers for the wealthy. I was happily laid off in 2008, and started volunteering most of my time with Engineers Without Borders and a few other organizations.
Inhabitat: Were you trained specifically for this kind of work or did you learn as you go?
Charles Newman: No, I was not trained specifically for this work beyond architecture school. However, in the long answer I can point to volunteering with Habitat for Humanity as a youngster, as well as a few weekend workshops on working with under privileged communities. Village Earth stands out as having provided some valuable lessons.
Inhabitat: What's your connection to Kenya? How did you find Under the Acacia?
Charles Newman: My connection to Kenya grows with every passing day. My first project through Engineers Without Borders brought me to Kenya, and my heart has never left. The genuine hospitality of the people, paired with the unending challenges of life there has helped me settle into a profession that fulfills the feeling of purpose that my time in NYC could never provide.
My connection with Under The Acacia boils down to the cliché "It's all about who you know." I met Jess Teutonico through a friend, and within minutes I realized that I had found an organization that was focused on results – lasting results. About a month later, we teamed up to help create a project that was unique in design and would create seemingly limitless opportunities for the Loita community.

I had the same problem with a jailbroken 1st gen iphone 8GB. This happened once I cancelled an iphone backup. The next time I plugged my iphone to sync with iTunes, it told me that the phone needed to be restored (previous saved settings). That took about 5 hours and then, I was stuck with this other crap. I had to restore to custom firmware and everything is great. I did have an issue with the battery icon showing full when in reality, I had about 20% left. I rebooted my phone and since, everything is peachy.
iPhone Restored: How 4.5GB of "Other" Files Ate My Storage!
Confession: I had to restore my iPhone 3G yesterday. No, I didn't want to jump on the trend-wagon just to get a build number ending in 7. No, the buggy, sluggy transitions didn't finally get to me. What happened? A huge chunk -- fully 1/4 -- of my 16GB storage was eaten up by what iTunes helpfully classified as "Other" files.
I didn't restore immediately, of course. Since "Other" data doesn't include music, video, or photos (which are each classified separately in iTunes), and most "other" data, like contacts, OS, settings, etc. is far too small to explain 4.3GB, I considered 3rd party apps (which Apple should really break out in their own color in iTunes as well). Maybe they weren't being properly uninstalled and removed from the device?
First I removed all 3rd party apps via iTunes 7.7. That got me down to 4.3GB. Then I tried removing them via the home screen's wiggly jiggly delete, just in case. Same result. Round about that time Apple released iTunes 7.7.1, and just in case this was a known -- and hopefully patched -- bug, I installed, rinsed, and repeated. And got not a step further.
That's when I decided the only way to catch this data-hostage taker was to nuke the city. That's right: full, clean re-install.
I was on the original, out-of-the-box firmware build (5A345) and iTunes restored to an incrementally later version (5A347), but it worked. Storage reclaimed. (And, as some other reports have indicated, this build in general when combined with a clean (not from backup) setup has made the more annoying sluggishness issues disappear).
Anyone else experience any mysterious "other" files taking up all their precious space? Any other/different solutions to my scorched earth approach? (Hey, I was a Windows user in a previous life, and re-install is etched into the final line of my trouble-shooting check list!)
Please let me know!

iPhone Restored: How 4.5GB of "Other" Files Ate My Storage!
I found this happen to me when deleting video files directly on the iphone. I have my itunes set to manually manage and I had season 1 of southpark on the phone. When I was finished watching I deleted the episodes from the Iphone; the next time I was in itunes with the phone connected I noticed other eating up space I also noticed in the television section the shows still listed and showing up in the phone with exclamations next to them. I highlighted and deleted them all from the phone in itunes and my space was reclaimed. This makes me leary about deleting anything directly on the phone.
I've had this happen twice with a 2g iPhone - Unplug it from a normal sync with all normal bars (music, video, other) with 800mbs remaining. I plug it back in and it just says "other" with an orange bar taking up all but 800mb. I unplug and see that my phone no longer recognizes any music or media (all other data like contacts and calendar are there, but no media). First time I re-synced and nothing happened (told me that I did not have enuff room to sync) - mind you, this all happened well before version 2.0. I gave up trying to make it work, so I did a full restore. Since it copied all anyway, it was fine after that.
Second time this happened was today. Although after showing me no more room and all orange "other", I deleted the music syncing and re-arranged the data. Since it deleted it off my iphone and reloaded, it was fine - no need to restore.
Both times it seemed to happen when syncing or other computer communication was happening when I disconnected or got a call....
Oddly enough:
1. I discovered this right reading your article.
2. The amount it shows in orange/other is same amount -4.53
Seems like I cam get all core info to sync, but media and new apps now won't.
I also notice that my iphone screen that normally says Syncing, cancels --while iTunes itself continues to either say syncing, backing up, or stops both and the sync icon next to the iphone keeps spinning.
What a pain 2.0 is!
I just had the exact same thing happen to me. All my music files, nearly 10GB of them turned into "Other" data. I also deleted videos directly off the iPhone and I also deleted them off itunes aswell before trying to resync it. If I try to restore it, will I lose all of my contacts, etc or does it get backed up and copy them back on?
Well its fixed... a Restore does fix the problem without losing any contacts,etc... It was a 5 hour process though! As soon as i clicked restore, the "other" data just disappeared but i had to go through the whole back-up, restore, resync process because Apple doesnt give you an option to cancel anything once it has started! I Love how Apple's motto is it that "It Just Works..."! I have never in my life owned anything that worked as bad as this iPhone and I've only had it for a month! The thing will crash at least 3 times a week with "Apple Approved Apps". What a Joke!
All my videos, music, and photos turned to "other" today. It happened after the pc asked what program to associate with the "camera" that was just attached. I chose Nikon 6 instead of Photoshop and things went crazy. Why does it ask to associate with a program like it's a camera? WHen I synched it was self-interupted then it said it couldn't sync because there wasn't enough free space. I did a full data and settings reset and I'm now waiting for it to finish.
Hi, I've encountered this error just today.
The fix that i did was to remove all music/videos/application/podcast/photos on the iphone. After all files are removed, I ssh to iphone and access the ff directories:
and remove all files inside them.
This is the command for removing all files on that directory:
rm -f -R *
be carefull with this command coz it will delete all files on the directory you're in, so be sure your path is correct.
After you remove all the files on the directories above, just resync it with your iTunes...
Hope this helps...
I used diskaid and went into the itunes control folder and into the sub folder for music and deleted all the music folders. I then turned of the music sync on itunes and synced the iphone to dump all the other album art etc.. Reboot phone using off and holding home button to reset. Restart phone and connect to itunes and sync all the music again, my other now has nothing in it and I have more space. I also noted that my photos had a few gigs being used when I knew for a fact that was not th case so I duimped the large 2 gig file of photos as well asn just resynced.
you are honestly my hero Seanny, you saved me countless hours of backup restoring.
Seanny, what can I say besides that you're put my mind at ease.
I want to try Seanny's solution but I have a question - I'm sorry if I appear dense but I don't quite understand the part where he says to delete all the music folders.
Don't I then lose all my music in my iTunes? How would I get my gigs and gigs of music back???
And what/where is the iTunes "control" folder?
If anyone would be willing to break down the steps for his process into a simplified bullet point format I would be eternally grateful!
If you are as lost as I am...don't worry...here it is
actually diskaid is a program that turn your iphone to a flash drive
after installing it
open it
at the bottom change the scroll thing to media folder...and you should see the ituen control folder
and wow all of my music that was unregconised on my iphone is there...even the video in the music folders
now you can delete them and restart or else...i don't know I'm trying it out too
good luck
Thanks for the help - it worked like a dream!!
Here are the step-by-step instructions:
- Install diskaid and connect your iPhone (always good to back it up first)
- Change the view to media folder
- Go into the iTunes control folder then music
- Delete each of the subdirectories
- Go back into into iTunes and unselect "sync music"
- Sync your iPhone
- Unplug your iPhone and reboot it.
- Reconnect your iPhone and recheck "sync music"
- Apply the changes and voila!
The "other" category is eliminated right after iPhone reboot, so as soon as you reconnect your iPhone the "other" category will no longer be there. If you still see it you've done something wrong.
Thanks for the info - this whole process took me a total of 30 minutes rather than the countless hours doing a full restore! (and 90% of the time was the resync of the music!)
Thank you! this worked great! for the longest time I couldn't figure out why there was so much space taken up and I couldn't even watch a movie from the cloud. I had 11g of other space taken up. Thank you Seanny and gosforth!
i did what rachel said to do and the 'other data' is now gone. however even after i sync my iphone with sync music selected is says all the music is on my iphone but it will not play. i even tried to manually manage my music but when i drag and dropped my music it would not copy. do i have to restore?
I would also like to extend my thanks. I went to sync my Iphone only to find that 11GB was in other and nothing was in my ipod section, no playlists nothing. I followed the instructions and voila' it worked! Thanks again Rachael and Gosforth for the recommendation and the step-by-step instructions.
Thank you guys so much. I must say that I wasted 2 days trying to manage files on iphone. I week it a week ago and after deleting files in laptop before deleting it from itunes the other category started growing after every attempt to fix it. I know for sure that iphone was not designed to listen to music as you cannot easily mange it, but at least browser works. Now I still cannot come with idea how to at least have some basic success in downloading music to ipod. How would you do it with playlists? I assume that you just take out sync to playlist and the whole playlist is gone. I must say that in my wildest dreams I did not expect that cool gadget like iphone is so crippled.
Now if you jailbreak the phone, can Apple brick it by some changes in Itunes? Does it make sense to wait till iphone 3.0 and jailbreak for that release?
Thanks in advance for suggestions. I am an expert in IT and Unix field and I never expected that small little iphone was close to winning the war with me. Thanks again for saving my day.
My next phone will be Android. Apple would need to create a miracle to change my opinion about those empty heads who only think about preventing access to device you bought.
- Clear the artwork folder also!
This solved my problem.
Also, it doesn't look like the restart is necessary & it looks like you can delete the entire music & artwork folders instead of the individual subfolders. They will be recreated during the next sync.
Hi friends ,
first of all i wanna thank to gosforth because hıs idea save my i phone :)) but at my cop. disk aid didnt worked. i write this comment for somebody who cant work disk aid. That time i use total commander for connecting iphone. here is the guide for connecting..
First get t-pot. The most recent version at the time of this writing is at: http://code.google.com/p/t-pot/downloads/list
Home page: http://code.google.com/p/t-pot/
t-pod is a plugin for an application called total commander.
Download and install Total Commander from: http://www.ghisler.com/download.htm
After Total Commander is installed, unzip t-pot to a folder. Run Total Commander and goto "Configuration/Options" in the file menu. Goto "Plugins" and then click the "WFX" menu button. "ADD" the t-pot's .wfx file that you unzipped. After adding it to Total Commander, close Total Commander, and load it again. T-pot should now be installed.
To use:
Connect the iPhone/iTouch via USB.
At the top of the two window panes is a drop down menu usually labeled [-c-]. Select Network Neighborhood [--] from it. Choose t-pot from the window pane. You should now be looking at the file system of your iPhone/iTouch. Now you can drag over files from the other window pane to it.
then further stages are same after connecting
This issue came up when I was syncing my jailbroken 2.1 Iphone 3g with Itunes and i received a text message. I resolved it by using WinSCP and OpenSSH to browse the files on the phone. I simply deleted the remaining music files and problem solved. The database must of became corrupt when the file transfer was interrupted by the text ;). Google "OpenSSH WinSCP tutorial" and you should find some sites that will help!
I had a somewhat similiar problem. While I was using my iPhone, it froze, this had happened once before, so I did what I had done last time, press and hold the Home and hold buttons at the same time. Once the iPhone started back up, it was showing the globe and iTunes symbol with a USB cable connecting them, saying "connect to iTunes". After I connected my iPhone to iTunes I noticed that I no longer had music or videos on my iPhone, however the ammount of space that was being used before by the music and videos was then the same ammount being used by "other". "Other" was now 3.56GB. I clicked on the down arrow and checked to see if there were "!" symbol beside all of the music and videos, but the folders were blank. The refresh wiped all the music and videos off my iPhone. I still do not know where the 3.56GB of "other" came from. It appears that a restore is the only option. What happens after a restore? Do I still have all of my contacts, text messages, apps, or anything that I had before?
I just cleared all the "other" data off of my iphone. I did a restore from itunes. After the restore, I had the option to restore from factory or restore from my backup files. I restored from my backup and after selecting my desired settings, I got all settings, apps, music, videos, ringtones, contacts, pics and calender events. Guess what I didn't get, the 3.45gb of other data.
Neither of the previous solutions worked for me :(((
I tried deleting the folders mentioned, reboot, no-sync/resync, restore, etc...
My OTHER is 5.90 GB, and if I delete something it grows, if I copy something it decreases, so I think there are not lot of big files but a corrupted filesystem :( Is there an fsck (file system check) or similar for iPhone?
I knew I won't restore and reinstall everything! I'm not that man!
I have found the 5.90 GB!
I use Finder on iPhone frequently for quickly delete files and set permissions. I just found that it uses a Trash folder, and there were some files there (approx. 2,2 GB), and when I deleted them permanently, the Other files in iTunes became 990 MB, and free space is 5.9 GB!
a very much thanks for seanny and gosforth.i got my precious 2gb back.thank you very much.........
I had over 8 GBs of "other" on my iPhone. I followed that step by step and it worked like a charm. I still have the notorious "other" but it is a much more reasonable under 1 GB amount. I appreciate the help.
ok i did what goforth said and now my music wont play i have nooooooooooooooo other files now but no music will play. ive done everything i can think of. any help would rock. this is what i did to a T
Here are the step-by-step instructions:
1.Install diskaid and connect your iPhone (always good to back it up first)
2.Change the view to media folder
3.Go into the iTunes control folder then music
4.Delete each of the subdirectories
5.Go back into into iTunes and unselect "sync music"
6.Sync your iPhone
7.Unplug your iPhone and reboot it.
8.Reconnect your iPhone and recheck "sync music"
9.Apply the changes and voila!
email me at tryin2layadime at hotmail dot com. thanks
HI,for those of you for whom these steps did not work. U can also try using Iphone Browser or Iphone Pc Suite.
navigate to the Media folder & see if any of those are containing any large thumbnail files. In my case in the photos folder in the iphone, there were hugesized .thm/.thb thumbnail files. Deleting them brought my 'other'down from 1.2Gb to 230Mb. I then resync'd the photos...
For those of you using applications to transfer files using wifi, Apple admits there is no way to find and delete invisible files left orphaned on the iPhone. I have 2GB of files on there because of application crashes requiring reinstallation. After reinstallation the applications did not find the folders storing the files. Result - wipe your iPhone and painfully reinstall everything again. When the iPhone works, it's nice. But the iPhone OS and iTunes is possibly the worst OS and software every created for file management and data backup.
to thelawprofessor: "Apple admits there is no way to find and delete invisible files left orphaned on the iPhone."
I'm sure they wouldn't/couldn't tell you to do an SSH session?
my guess is that the app in the newer installation folder is not granted access to the previous installation folders, but the folders themselves are not necessary 'invisible' from a bit 'higher' point of view.
For easier life as an iphone user, i recommend spending a few bucks for an app like diskaid (tell us if there is a cheaper alt), if you don't want to JB it.
I have a JB'd iphone and i'm using SSH via USB cable with iphone tunnel suite.
IMO, Apple just wants to ease your life most of the time, and to do that, certainly they've chosen to make it difficult for you on (many) occassions...
DiskAid DiskAid DiskAid!!
This did it for me. I unsynced my iPhone, ran this program, deleted all the unindexed music files, rebooted, resynced the phone.. and all my "other data" was removed and my space was reclaimed.
used swaptunes downloaded thru cydia on my jailbrokes iphone and then resynced and it restored my entire ruined (other) library
I also had this "other" problem. It took about 7 GB off my 16 GB 3GS. I managed to get the "other" column to return to its normal state by syncing to iphone. While it was backing itself up before the actual syncing I pull the iphone USB out of the computer midway threw. Then I restarted itunes and plugged my phone back into the computer. this caused Itunes to verify or recheck the phone's data. When this happened it erased the unnecessary "other" data. So now I have my storage back. :-)
woke up monday morning to my alarm on my iphone but was unable to turn it off. the screen was frozen. Forced a reboot, during the reboot it hung, forced another reboot and got it to come up. to my surprise, all my calendar events were GONE! my emails were all jacked up, and i had a voicemail indication but it didn't show up in my voicemail list. found out today i had 7.7gigs of "other" files and my iphone was 100% full because of it. found these suggestions here but all i did was sync my iphone with the music unchecked(are you sure you want to remove music, yes) after it synced it freed up the 15gigs of music. i restarted the iphone normally(slide to power off) and when i powered it back on the 7 gigs of other files were gone as well. i did not get my calendar back but i got my voicemails. i haven't synced my music back yet.
but thanks for the suggestions, and glad to share my experience.
Same here. I have a 16 gb jailbreaked iPhone but is full. The (other) files took 13.8 gb of my storage memory. I deleted all my music photos and still I only have one gb left. Any ideas on how to delete this files without restoring?
SOLUTION....STEP ONE..go to cydia
step two...download ifile. its free if you have xsellize repo if you dont have it then add it or just buy the app. open it, look for media/itunes/control and delete all your media which is music videos ringtones artwork and pictures by sliding your finger on each item to delete. after even when your media is not using all the other memory on your itunes it will fix the problem. BUT..BEFORE that make sure you back up your phone on itunes to save your pics and contacts. ok then turn you phone off then back on. open itunes it will ask if you want to set it up as new phone. just restore from back up to get you contacts back.. DONE DONE YOUR PHONE IS LIKE NEW AGAIN WITHOUT HAVING TO RESTORE..
LUKE you are a F_N genius seconds later I got my memory free, mine used 22.21 gigs of space it WORKS thank you very much!! I deleted the logs file hope my rock still works? Either way I can delete and reinstall, I used both methods Sean and Luke I am running a 3GS old bootloader 32GB unlocked & JB snowbreeze on 3.1.3
DW2 - I stand in awe of your brilliance. Had 4gb's of "Other" storage after a failed sync and ended up with no music. Resynced and got the music back but the disk space was still being taken by the Old music files. Decided to try DW2's trick of pulling the USB cable out after a few seconds of Syncing. Plugged the USB back in and it verified the disk and "voila" disk space was returned
Somehow my 3GS jailbroken iphone had many gigs of "other" -- I can see the culprit -- many of my app folders are duplicated (like Navigon which is 1 gb by itself). Each folder has a long hex name but there are no dates on the folder -- I don't know which one is the trash folder making up other and which one is the currently used one. I could delete them both but I am concerned about some index being out of whack and bricking the phone. I also would prefer not to lose the saved data in many of the current apps. Will try DW2s technique but wonder if there is some way just to tell which folders are which?
DW2 has it right. Pull out the USB cable while backing up. Restart iTunes and then reconnect iPhone. After verification and sync 3GB --> 0,35 GB "Other" files!
Iphone 3Gs Windows Vista ... i tried the diskAid method to the letter 4 times, it did not work for me. I deleted all my music from the iphone, which is ok i can just re-transfer it from my itunes. I found a few voice recordings and thumnails i thought i deleted, so that's cool. But it did not touch the "other" file. Does anyone know what the Artwork folder is? i have 7 files in that folder. like f30011, f30021 and so on ... it is no where near the size of the "other" folder but i was jusy curious. Any futher help would be .... well.... helpful.
I had this problem although it was much less serious.
My "other" files jumped from .5gb to 1.15gb in a single sync.
Here is where paying attention to what you sync to your device comes in handy.
I was syncing tv shows to my iPhone and iTunes did it's typical freeze and after almost an hour it finished syncing.
That is when I noticed that my "other" files doubled in size.
Understanding what "other" files is crucial to fixing this problem, especially when the space designated for them doubles in a sync.
Question: did you sync music or videos when the space doubled?
Question: was the sync process interrupted or did iTunes freeze?
Your problem is an "orphaned" file.
When iTunes gets interrupted the file that it is syncing during the interruption gets saved onto the iPhone but without the right designators to put it in the correct area so you can remove and sync it properly.
Here's how to fix the "Other" files issue, step by step.
Step 1: No interruptions
Put your iPhone into Airplane mode. A simple phone call or text message while you're syncing can disrupt the process and cause files to become "orphaned" and send them into the void known as "other".
Step 2: Download Disk Aid.
Simple as that, download the appropriate version of DiskAid for your computer.
Here are the links to the website:
Step 3: Remove all media from your iPhone
In order to find the files that are taking up space you need to remove all media from your iPhone.
When you go to look in the file system using DiskAid, anything left over is what is causing problems.
Go into iTunes and uncheck the "Sync Music", "Sync Photos", "Sync Video", and "Sync TV Shows".
Then Sync your iPhone to remove the files.
Your "Other" files will remain the same, even though you have removed all media.
Step 4: The Search begins.
With your iPhone connected to your computer via USB, launch DiskAid.
Under the navigation panel on the left hand side of the window, click on "Places".
Then, go to "Media Folder".
In "Media Folder", select, "iTunes Control".
Now, select the "Music" folder.
Note: Music, Music Videos, Movies, and TV Shows are all saved in this directory.
Once you've selected the "Music" folder, a series of folders with the designation "Fxx" will appear.
Using your keyboard's arrow keys and the middle navigation directory, move down one at a time to verify that the folders are empty.
If a folder has a file in it, delete it. Remember, you have already removed all media from your device.
Step 5: Restart iPhone
Now, once you have gone through all of the files and deleted the ones that are left over from the earlier sync, using iTunes, disconnect your iPhone.
Once disconnected, power it down and restart it.
Once restarted, re-connect it to iTunes and click on your iPhone in the left navigation plane.
Look under "other" files.
If done correctly, your "other" files should be around .30gb to .60gb.
Now you are free to simply re-sync your media, but I recommend taking time with this process.
Sync a movie at a time, a tv season at a time and so on and so forth.
Music you can do all at once, as well as photos.
Hope this works for you as well as it worked for me.
I found where corrupt apps go, after finding out I had a chunk of 'other' in my iPod I looked and found that in mobile/media/AplicationArchive there were .zip files when the last sync there was not, I used iFile to delete the .zip files and BAM most of my other that were based on applications were gone. hooray
NO method stated above worked for my NOT jailbroken iphone 3Gs. A nice clean restore is what i did. I took the time to write everything down before doing this (contacts, settings, email settings, notes, etc ....) took a while, but it was done and my "other" file went from 1.43 GB to .22 GB ..... nice!
Hi folks,
The same problem happened to me, and none of your tricks could help. What I did to solve the problem eventually was :
- Connect to the iPhone with WinSCP (you must have a jailborken iPhone with OpenSSH installed)
- Do a search on any media files like *.mp3 or *.avi , etc ...
- Delete all the files that appear to be in kind of temp directories
In my case, a few days ago, I had downloaded a .avi movie on my iPhone and had tried to read it with OPlayer app. I tried 5 or 6 times,but it failed everytime. As a result, I got 6 times the same 700M large .avi file in /private/var/spool/mdt directories.
Hope this helps,
I had about 3gb free when I started syncing my jailbroken iphone 3gs using itunes 10. I had to interupt the sync bc I ran out of space on my netbook HD. Subsequently, I had none of the free space and about 3 gb of "other". In addition, I had a message pop up telling me the iphone was out of space and I need to delete files.
This is what worked for my jailbroken 3GS. I unclicked auto sync, then connected the iphone back to laptop and clicked transfer purchases. As I was watching, the other space was converted to free space. Very easy.
MAAAAAAAN finally the diskaid thing worked :O been looking for this for the longest time! love you who ever thought of it
its not that mysterious, the "other" file is a saved backup copy of save files and in app purchases of all your previous apps. if u have a jailbroken iphone u can access it using iFile app and all those "other" file are located at /var/mobile/library/safeharbor. u could delete those file if u think u no longer need them.
another way to reduce these "other" file is to reinstall your previous app as this will take those backed up save files and in app purchases for your app from the safeharbor folder and put it in your apps folder thus reducing your "other" file sizes
i tried looking up at the safeharbor directory but the problem is there is no such directory on my phone. Any help?
I found solution and it workshttp://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/8456/how-to-clean-up-other-stor...
It totally cleared all the 'other' data which seems to be deleted music in memory.
I had a big instalation zip file in iphone folder (AplicationArchive). If I deleted it, everything was right. For windows user, use T-pot plugin for total commander. http://modmyi.com/forums/os-apps-development/24551-t-pot-plugin-total-co...
I have about 9.x Gb of music on my iphone. After upgrading to ios 5 I had 9.x of other and no music. So I told itunes to not sync music, synced the phone and it started to add odd apps to the grey 12th screen. Deleted a couple of apps from this grey screen in the apps bit and suddenly all the oojah had gone. Could then sync more photos and music.
I had the same problem... and when i tried to re-sync my phone it froze in the sync step 6... i waited for like four hours... nothing, holding pattern. Cancelled, re-tried... like 5 times... I think i'm going to head to the scorched earth route... I have lost my customization for contacts, ringtones, apps don't work, and if they do they crash... not thrilled
Even after deleting files (unwanted) of your iPhone, present in,
(... dots are intermediate folders, I don remember the path)
via openSSH or DISKAID did not clear/delete/refresh your iPhone other memory, then one can possibly try this path too, go to
Delete the folders in it.
This folder is likely/surely will be filled with all video/audio files that is being played using VLC player.
This happens when video/audio files in one app (not VLC) is played using VLC player through open with VLC player option.
I had 10.5 GB of other memory out of 14 GB. It was all Video/audio files that got stored in the path given above when I played them in VLC(video) & Media player(audio) from DOWNLOAD LITE APP.
After deleting all, you gotta do is just one sync of your phone with iTunes.
Music box checked/unchecked does not matter. Just sync. You will get back your memory. I hope this helps.
If not here too, then for sure files that's occupying the memory would be in
do a folder by folder search and remove the files when you find them.
I did it using DISKAID app Free version. This app is easy and is really cool.
Terrific work! That is the kind of information that should be shared around the web. Shame on Google for not positioning this put up upper! Come on over and consult with my web site . Thanks =)
I had my other space up to 7g and I got it down to 1.1g by doing this :
1-Installed diskaid -you can google it and download it.
2- i deleted syslog that was taking 6.6g of my space - under var/system/
3-power off
4- sync in iTunes
Hope this could help
a massive 13gb of my 16gb in this iPhone are being taken up by "Other" I don't know what the heck.. but it's makin me crazy cuz I can't even take a picture or save anything unless I delete like 5 apps! I hate that I can't just throw another micro sd card in it like I could w my droid....

In December, Personal Income Saw Biggest Gain In 9 Months
Originally published on Mon January 30, 2012 5:45 am
In December, personal income climbed 0.5 percent, while disposable income rose 0.4 percent. New figures released today from the Commerce Department also show that consumer spending was flat, increasing 0.1 percent from the month before.
While the AP reports that rise in income was the most in nine months, the news is a mixed bag.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the consumer spending data means that Americans were cautious, saving instead of spending and that, in turn, means the economy will stay in "slow-growth mode" in 2012.
The Journal reports:
"Even as the holiday shopping season drew to a close, Americans boosted their savings in December at the fastest pace since August. The personal saving rate was 4.0% last month, compared to 3.5% in November.
"For the year, incomes and spending moved in tandem as each rose 4.7%, the data showed."

iWork vs. Documents To Go vs. Quickoffice Pro HD: Mobile office suite apps for iPad shootout!
While some may still scoff at the iPad as a productivity powerhouse, thanks to spectacular software and, optionally, a kickass portable keyboard, the smart and savvy among us know the iPad can be the best way to get things done while on the go. Wether you're in business or in school, whether you need to create new documents, spreadsheets, or presentations from scratch or simply edit your words, numbers, and slides to perfection, a mobile office suite can quickly go from being a nice-to-have to a must-have to a real life (or career/class) saver.
And the iPad has several excellent office suite options to choose from. Apple's iWork comes as three separate apps, Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. BlackBerry-maker RIM's Documents To Go is an integrated, Microsoft-like powerhouse. And Google's newly acquired Quickoffice Pro HD likewise offers everything all in one place. But which is the best for you and your workflow?
iWork vs. Documents To Go vs. Quickoffice Pro HD: User interface and workflow
Apple's mobile suite of apps is actually three separate apps, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. They are universal, however, so once you buy them they work for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Even though all three are purchased separately, Apple has done a good job of making the user experience and general workflow the same across all of them.
Upon initially launching Pages, Numbers, or Keynote on your iPad you'll be asked whether or not you'd like to sync your documents to iCloud. If you've already got documents stored in iCloud from another iOS device or Mac, they'll be right there ready for you to pick up where you left off. Tapping any one of them will open it.
Once you're inside a document whether it be a word processing document, spreadsheet, or presentation, you'll see a navigation bar along the top. This is where all of your commands and options will be located. While the menu style may vary slightly between Pages, Keynote, and Numbers the user experience is pretty consistent across all three and all the tools and options you'd expect to find are right there.
When working with word documents you can tap anywhere on the screen to start typing. A virtual keyboard will appear as well as a formatting bar along the top that allows you to change fonts, sizes, margins, indentation, and more. The same type of menu system is also available in both Numbers and Keynote as well but tweaked somewhat for each individual application's needs.
Once choosing the type of spreadsheet you'd like in Numbers you'll see a bar along the top to add more sheets to the current book as well as formatting and function tools. If you need to input data into a cell you can simply double tap on the cell you'd like to edit and the keyboard will pop up. Instead of seeing a formatting menu like you do in Pages you'll see a formula bar and quick links for common spreadsheet tasks such as auto-inserting time or date. You can manually start typing in formulas or click the "=" sign in order to access a functions menu which provides access to commonly used formulas and symbols.
Keynote will operate in a very similar fashion and open any documents you currently have stored in iCloud. You can also create a new presentation from a template or from scratch. Once you're inside a presentation you'll see the typical formatting bar along the top that consists of a formatting tool, add slide button, settings button, and play button.
Manipulating slides is also easy and can be done by dragging them in different positions. Tapping on an already highlighted slide will bring up a popup menu that gives you the options to cut, copy, delete, skip, and add transitions.
Documents To Go is a complete suite that has the ability to open and edit word processing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations all in one single app. Along the bottom you'll notice a row of tabs that consists of local files, desktop files, online files, recents, store, search, and settings.
The local, desktop, and online tabs give you access to documents in different places. The local tab will store anything that you've created and maintained on your iPad. The desktop tab will sync any documents between the free desktop application and your iPad. The online tab allows you to access and edit documents that you've got stored elsewhere on a cloud storage service. Documents To Go currently supports Google Docs, Box.net, Dropbox, and SugarSync. Once you're signed in you can navigate through all your folders and open and edit documents as you wish. Once you're done Documents To Go can save the file directly to where you already have it stored.
Editing word documents within Documents To Go is easy enough. Once you open a word document you'll be able to start adding and editing content immediately. The bottom toolbar will give you options to increase margins and change paragraph styles, customize fonts, and create different kinds of lists and bullets. Once you're done, Documents To Go will simply save the document so you can pick up from any other device or machine you'd like to work from.
Just like you'd open a word document you can open a spreadsheet. The bottom toolbar will be similar to what you see when editing word files but the controls will change to suit working with spreadsheets. You'll have options to edit and add sheets, move columns or rows, delete them, and more. The formula bar will stay stationary at the top of the app and allow you to start typing formulas quickly. If you need to add cells the the formula you can just tap on them to add the cell location.
While Documents To Go does offer the ability to create and edit presentations you'll only be able to edit presentations that are saved in Microsoft Office format. If you've saved all your presentations in Keynote, you'll have to either re-save them in .ppt format or you'll only be able to view them, not edit.
Once inside a presentation you'll see a screen that allows you to add notes and edit the main slide. The screen is split to allow you to view notes and slides at the same time. Along the bottom you'll find the typical toolbar that allows you to insert slides, duplicate them, delete them, or jump to different slides. The layout is easy to navigate but somewhat limited in terms of functionality. There are only a few templates you can choose from and none of them are quite breathtaking.
Quickoffice Pro HD consists of a main menu that shows everything currently accessible in Quickoffice that is stored on your iPad. Clicking the "+" sign in the lower left hand corner allows you to add syncing services so you can access documents stored to them. After you set up a syncing service it will show up in the left hand pane so you can navigate between local files and cloud files easily.
Navigate to the file you want to open and tap it to have Quickoffice open it. While Documents To Go uses a bottom navigation bar, Quickoffice Pro HD's navigation will be located at the top of the screen. Just like Documents To Go, the menus will change to suit the type of document you're opening.
When editing a word document you'll have quick access to common things like bolding, italicizing, and underlining. On the far right you also have another menu that will let you customize fonts, colors, and more.
Opening a spreadsheet in Quickoffice Pro HD is very much like opening a word processing document. You'll have the same bar along the top but again it'll be tailored to common spreadsheet tasks such as changing number formats, bolding, italicizing, and more. The top right menu will allow you to customize font type and size. To use formulas you can just start typing them in the top formula bar and commonly used options will start populating.
Just like Documents To Go, Quickoffice Pro HD plays a lot nicer with PowerPoint documents than it does Numbers. If you use .ppt files this won't be an issue but if you use Keynote you'll need to convert them in order to edit them.
When it comes to interface, the iWork suite of apps provide the most uniform experience while retaining the functions that are unique to each individual type of workflow. Pages, Keynote, and Numbers manage to utilize a familiar interface without taking away from any one type of task.
iWork vs. Documents To Go vs. Quickoffice Pro HD: Word documents
Pages for iPad makes it easy to edit documents on the go and will work with any native Pages file format or Microsoft Office file (.doc or .docx). The minimal UI combined with common features that you'd expect to find in a word processing app make it easy to use and easy to navigate.
Once you open a new document or choose a template you can immediate tap the screen in order to bring up the virtual keyboard and start typing. The formatting menu for texts, paragraphs, and spacing will stay on the screen as long as the keyboard is active for easy access to commonly used functions. The formatting tool works in conjunction with whatever you've got selected or highlighted. The plus sign allows you to add media, tables, charts, and shapes to your document.
Pages allows you to interact not only with text but with images too. You can add, cut, resize, delete, and replace images quickly and easily. Pages will pull from your camera roll, albums, and events already on your iPad. Just tap the plus sign and drop in an image. You can then resize it and drag it around as well as choose the formatting tool in order to change how text wraps around it.
Documents To Go will allow you open any .doc or .docx file. Once you've opened a document you can start typing and use the formatting bar along the bottom to add things such as bullet lists, double line spacing, different margins or paragraphs, and more. The settings icon will give you access to a word count feature, full screen mode, and a find and replace tool. The top menu also gives you access to undo and redo buttons.
While you can cut images out of documents there is currently no way to add or manipulate images. This means your documents will be strictly text unless you've added images from another Office suite on a different computer. They'll load just fine and you can work around them but there isn't much you can do with them.
Quickoffice Pro HD operates in almost the exact same way Documents To Go does except the formatting bar runs along the top of the screen instead of at the bottom. You'll have all the things you'd expect to find when it comes to manipulating text but again, there are no abilities to add or manipulate existing images in your documents. I even had issues highlighting to delete images in Quickoffice Pro HD.
When it comes to word processing, all three will provide the standard text input features you'd come to expect but Pages in the only option that allows you to not only manipulate and work with media such as images, charts, and graphs, but insert them natively.
iWork vs. Documents To Go vs. Quickoffice Pro HD: Spreadsheets
Numbers, the iWork counterpart for spreadsheets, will allow you to edit any spreadsheet made in either Numbers on Mac or Excel on PC. Once you've launched a spreadsheet you can immediately start tapping into cells and editing or adding new content.
Double-tapping will bring up the virtual keyboard and allow you to start punching in data. If there's already data or a formula in that cell, the formula bar will show you that information. You can also add tabs along the top of Numbers by tapping the plus sign next to the last sheet in a workbook. Just like word processing, the format paint brush will dynamically change to format anything that's currently highlighted or selected. This makes it super easy to grab large chunks of data and convert them into charts or graphs.
You can also add media such as photos to your spreadsheets as well. Clicking the "+" sign will allow you to add photos from your iPad and predesigned charts, tables, and shapes. While Numbers and Excel don't always use the same syntax for formulas I've found that Numbers handles most documents just fine. I've come across very few instances where Numbers broke formulas from Excel documents. You've got to be using extremely complex formulas in order to trip it up. Basic algebra and even most advanced formulas will transfer over correctly as long as the syntax was written correctly in Excel.
Documents To Go gives you the ability to both view and edit any spreadsheet with a .xls or .xlsx format. Once you've tapped into the spreadsheet you'll see your commonly used functions along the bottom and an undo/redo option in the top right. You can manipulate and resize columns and tables as you'd wish by dragging them into new positions.
The options along the bottom allow you to change cell formats or change number formats as well as format fonts. The formula bar will always stay stationary at the top of the screen for easy access. In order to input or view an existing formula just highlight the cell that you'd like to enter a new one or view a current one.
Adding sheets or removing them is easy within Documents To Go as well. To the right of the formula bar you'll see a sheet button. Tap it to view all the sheets in the current document. Tapping edit will allow you to delete sheets, re-order them, or drop a new sheet where you'd like.
Quickoffice Pro HD handles all file formats for Excel just like Pages and Documents To Go. Your menu along the top will be your go to place for all your formatting needs. Once you tap into a cell you'll be able to start typing on the virtual keyboard or view any formulas that are already in that cell. You can also use the top formula bar as a way to view the formulas by single tapping on a cell.
Along the bottom you'll see a list of tabs that currently exist that you can toggle between. Tapping the plus sign will allow you to create a new blank sheet. One thing I do particularly like in Quickoffice Pro HD is that when you've got the keyboard pulled up the tabs for sheets raises up so you can always switch between sheets without the need to hide the keyboard first.
When it comes to spreadsheets Numbers, Documents To Go, and Quickoffice Pro HD will all give you the ability to edit formulas and perform basic tasks. If you need to add images, charts, graphs, and easily manipulate anything other than text input, Numbers is the only program that allows you to do so natively.
iWork vs. Documents To Go vs. Quickoffice Pro HD: Slideshows and presentations
Keynote allows you to easily open any Keynote or Microsoft PowerPoint document and begin editing it immediately. Just like Numbers and Pages you'll have your formatting bar along the top that will allow you to add and manipulate content as you wish.
Keynote comes with quite a few templates to choose from that look rather good considering they're coming from a stock gallery. Once you're in a project you can add slides and transitions via the top menu or use the format paintbrush to work with anything you've got highlighted. You can also change slide order by just dragging slides around in the left hand navigation panel. Tapping on a highlighted slide will also give you the option to work with that slide in certain ways such as adding transitions.
Documents To Go will only read PowerPoint files so if you're a Keynote user on a Mac you'll need to convert your documents over to .ppt format in order to open them in Documents To Go. In my experience this sometimes results in losing transitions and other types of shadows and features that Keynote offers.
Nonetheless, you'll be able to edit any .ppt file by just tapping on it to open it. The page will show a split pane between the actual slide and note cards. You can tap the notes tab in order to hide it but your slide will still only occupy the top portion of the screen if you're working in portrait orientation. If you're in landscape it will allow the notes tab to hover on the side while showing full screen slides. Pulling out the notes tab in landscape will divide the screen left to right instead of top and bottom. While landscape mode gives you a bit more space to work with, it's still a bit funny when it comes to workflow and spacing.
Along the bottom you'll find all the functions you need to add transitions, insert slides, or jump to an existing slide using the slide picker feature. The one disappointing aspect of Document's To Go's implementation is that you can't add or edit images. This is a complete let down consider text only slides are more than boring and most people will rely on adding images to their slides.
Quickoffice Pro HD takes a bit better of an approach to handling presentations than Documents To Go. All your slides will show along the bottom or the side depending what orientation you're working in. Your main menu will run along the top and allow you to play the project or add media such as images, charts, and shapes as well as text bubbles and other things specific to slide presentations. The one downer I found in Quickoffice Pro HD is the lack of transitions. As far as I'm aware there are none and no way to add them.
Keynote not only handles presentations better than both Documents To Go and Quickoffice Pro HD but gives you access to beautiful designed templates that you can edit as much as you'd like as well as a better navigation system with well-placed tools. If you plan on putting together a lot of presentations on your iPad, Documents To Go is the worst choice due the not being able to add any kind of media into your presentation.
iWork vs. Documents To Go vs. Quickoffice Pro HD: Cross-platform and cloud syncing
Pages, Numbers, and Keynote all support iCloud which means any documents you've got stored will automatically be made available across any iCloud enabled device whether that be an iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac. The iOS versions of Pages, Keynote, and Numbers are universal downloads for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch but you will have to purchase the Mac versions separately. There's also support for iTunes syncing and WebDAV.
If you plan on storing most of your documents in a service like Dropbox or Google Docs it should be no surprise that none of Apple's iWork apps support it since they offer their own native service.
Documents To Go supports cloud syncing with Google Docs, Box.net, Dropbox, and SugarSync. If you use any of these services you won't have any problem saving and pulling documents to and from them. You can also navigate to any folder you'd like and start a new document within it as opposed to storing it locally.
When it comes to computer counterparts, Documents To Go doesn't have one but that probably isn't a huge deal to most users as the app is made to compliment either the iWork for destkop apps or Microsoft Office on the desktop. Documents To Go does, however, offer a sync client for both Mac and PC to sync your documents back and forth between your computer and iPad. It works very much like Dropbox or any other online service would work by creating a folder on your computer to sync to your iPad. You can create sub-folders inside of it and drag any documents you'd like available on your iPad to it.
The only catch is that to sync these documents you'll have to be on the same Wi-Fi network and have the Documents To Go app open on your iPad before attempting to sync. Considering the app offers cloud sync options, the desktop app really doesn't serve a point anymore anyways.
Quickoffice Pro HD supports even more sync services than Documents To Go when it comes to cloud storage. It's compatible with Google Drive, Dropbox, Box.net, Evernote, Catch, SugarSync, Huddle, and Egnyte. Regardless what service you use you should have aboslutely no issues hoooking it up to Quickoffice Pro.
Again, Quickoffice Pro HD doesn't have a suite for Mac or PC but no one should really expect them to. Most users already have a workflow with either iWork or Microsoft Office and only want an iPad app as a companion and on the go option.
When it comes to syncing, the iWork suite of apps consisting of Pages, Keynote, and Numbers is hands down the best option if you're an iCloud and Mac user and don't have an issue storing all your documents in Apple's highly abstracted pool. It works seamlessly and effortlessly. Wherever you have a connection you have all your documents. It doesn't get any simpler than that.
If you don't use iCloud, or you're a PC user that doesn't have the option to use iWork on your computer, QuickOffice Pro HD offers the most options when it comes to syncing.
iWork vs. Documents To Go vs. Quickoffice Pro HD: Pricing
Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are three separate app purchases in the App Store and will run you $9.99 each for a total of $30 for the entire suite. This will get you access from any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch you own. If you're a Mac user and would like to use the Mac versions in correlation to the iOS versions, they're also sold separately in the Mac App Store and will cost $19.99 a piece. All in all you're looking at around $100 after tax to own the entire collection. This isn't bad considering what Microsoft Office on its own costs for Mac or PC. The best part about iWork being sold as separate apps is that you can always choose to only buy the ones that you know you'll use. If you never have a need to create spreadsheets, don't buy Numbers. If you never create presentations, you can get away with not buying Keynote. It's an easy way to save you some money.
Documents To Go Premium will run you $16.99 in the App Store but it's a universal download for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The desktop application is free to download for both Mac and PC but if you're using any kind of cloud syncing service you probably won't have a need for it anyways.
Quickoffice Pro HD goes for $19.99 in the App Store and it's an iPad only app. If you'd like the regular version of Quickoffice Pro for iPhone and iPod touch as well it'll run you an additional $14.99. Still not too bad when it comes to a complete mobile office suite.
Pages, Numbers, and Keynote will obviously cost you the most so if you're concerned about price, one of the other two is a better option. Documents To Go offers the lowest price with a universal app but the other two may be better options in terms of functionality and feature set. When it comes to value, the iWork suite of apps will offer the most bang for your buck.
iWork vs. Documents To Go vs. Quickoffice Pro: The bottom line
If you're a Windows user, and you want to be able to sync between your iPad and your Windows PC, Quickoffice HD Pro is best choice for you, even if it's not the best choice overall. Until Microsoft does the right thing and releases a native version of Office for iOS. (Write Steve Ballmer, use a lot of exclamation points!)
If you're a Mac user with Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on the desktop, or if you just want to work and sync between iPad and another iOS devices, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are the best apps for creating, editing, and sharing any kind of document on your iPad. The complete suite provides a streamline experience and interface that just can't be matched.

iWork vs. Documents To Go vs. Quickoffice Pro HD: Mobile office suite apps for iPad shootout!
Thanks for a great review. I've purchased both Doc to Go and iWork suite. Actually, iWork I purchased earlier but switched to Docs to Go because of only one reason: ability to attach multiple documents to a single email message whereas iWork apps allow you to attach only document per message which is not practicable for a business user. Moreover, Docs to Go can be connected to Dropbox and Google Docs, I could not figure out how to do it on iWork.
Sadly you can't. Apple chose to use iCloud, obviously. But doesn't give the option for any other service. most users probably expected that.
Good option as well!
While perhaps not the BEST solution... Check out http://dav-pocket.appspot.com/
It will let you connect Pages & Numbers to Google Docs. You can access files stored there and then work from them, as well as save new files to Google Docs. Only downside is that you can't update files by editing and then saving them... You will just be creating a new version. Again, not the best option for having Google integration, but it does work.
It already has. Go to the Dropbox, Google Drive app and open the file in iWork app. If you have access to WbDav connect to your service via WebDAV in iWork and upload the file when you are done.Perhaps its not as seamless as iCloud but it still works. Someone in comments above just showed a way to access Google Docs in iWork.
I have documents to go premium (in iPhone 4S with latest os/firmware) and my only complaints are:
1. Can't print from the app. WTF???
2. Looking up formulas from within the app is sometimes not so intuitive.
Other than those complaints, I am very pleased with the app. Lust wish I didn't have to email myself a spreadsheet to be able to print it!
Also, page setup would be nice so i'd know what it will look like when I do email it to myself so I could print it.
I own iWork and Docs to go Premium and all the suites I have tried have the same problem that really hurts. Powerpoint presentations that use arrows and tables to create graphics are almost always messed up. Smart Art I think it is called is always messed up. Why can't they translate better? Plus, Docs to Go won't "show" a presentation? WTH? I want to load up work presentations from co-workers using PPT and make a few edits and show them to prospects. Is that too hard?
And if any of these apps could track changes in a word document I would pay them $100.
I was completely unfamiliar with the entire iWork suite until the IPad 1st generation was released. Tried all three apps on a whim......game, set, match. I have Docs to Go and don't even use it anymore.
Keynote is fantastic, easy to use as all presentation I now do are Keynote by using a Dongle. I also use the Keynote remote app to navigate through my presentations with my iPhone. I can also see my notes on each slide for reference.
Numbers is also very easy, and can sort columns in ascending or descending order with one quick tap.
Apple hit a home run with these apps, and has reduced my laptop time to about 15-20% and the rest is on iPad.
You could use Otixo to access any of their supported cloud services via WebDAV... and it's just a great service anyways to keep all your clouds in one place. It's isn't as straight forward as a direct integration like Docs To Go and Quickoffice Pro, but is good for someone who really loves the iWork suite AND needs cloud service integration. I will probably buy Quickoffice Pro after reading this review though.
When working with spreadsheets, it should be noted that DocToGo does not support formulas that call data form other sheets in the same workbook. Both Numbers and QuickOffice do. So, if you're working on your annual sales report with each month on its own sheet, forget about DocsToGo.
Sad, really. This used to be DocsToGo's market.
Sounds to me like the spreadsheet you're trying to open may be corrupt. Try copying all content w/ forumulas into a new spreadsheet and see if that fixes the issue. .xlsx should open fine in numbers.
Great overview article. Nice to see all this info in one place but I have one complaint and one observation. The observation is that the screenshots you chose for the article were unnecessarily confusing. To use screenshots of another article about another program complete with screenshots of that program that look very similar to the programs you are actually reviewing was a mistake. It's very difficult to tell what's going on at some points and which is the screenshot and which is your article.
The complaint is the way you use the word "suite." You refer throughout the article to Pages, Numbers, and Keynote as separate apps and the others as "suites," when in fact none of these apps are "suites," per se. "Suites" are actually not allowed on iOS at all, it's one of the main security features.
A suite is generally considered to be a group of apps that all work in concert, usually with some kind of overlaying meta-interface so as to make it easier to navigate between them. Not only are none of these apps "suites" in the traditional sense, but (given the limitations of iOS), the iWork apps are actually closer to the definition than the other two are.
Regardless of how they portray themselves or how the average viewer may view them or refer to them in a casual way, these are not suites at all. They are merely apps that open multiple document types.
This is important to know because it shows a very clear flaw in their design. These apps will *never* include the "full functionality" of their desktop counterparts because that would require an executable that is capable of doing all the things that three full-blown desktop apps (basically the entirety of Office), can do. This is very unlikely.
These "suites" are actually quick and dirty editors, that in concert with cloud access can let you work on some shared documents. They aren't even close to "mobile versions of the desktop apps" as iWork apps are. Pages on iOS for instance is about 90% of the way to providing every single feature of it's desktop counterpart. None of these "access your office documents on iOS" apps will ever get even that close.
You are comparing Apple's & Oranges or "apps & kludges" here when you elevate these apps to the level of "suites."
LOL most biased article ever. Telling consumers to buy iWork instead of Office is just plain irresponsible. And who are you to tell Microsoft eBay the right thing to do is?

—Jon Kurz President Dycet, LLC
If Mac customizations are an orange, this book must have squeezed out every last drop of juice there is. I would be surprised if there were more that could be done that this book does not cover.
