HT201402 storage problem with ipad

why does my computer say that I have 20 gigabytes of tv shows, but then when I put them on my ipad they become 40 gigabytes of tv shows???

It sounds like you may have some corrupted files taking up space.  Try removing them by restoring the iPad.  Plug the iPad into iTunes, let it sync, then choose "Restore" from the right side of the iTunes window.
You can try restoring from your backup, but if that does not clear the issue (by reducing the size of your "Other" space to about 1GB), then try restoring as new and then manually syncing.

    gianlucastr,
    an EXC_BAD_ACCESS exception type with a KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE exception code typically has one of two causes — either a programming error, or faulty RAM. If this was due to a programming error, then you can check to see if there’s an applicable patch to your version of Outlook, or wait for the next Mavericks update from Apple, to see if either of these would fix this problem. If it’s due to faulty RAM, then you can try running your MacBook Pro’s Apple Hardware Test to see if it can detect any RAM problems. (It’s not able to detect all possible RAM problems, so no error detected by the AHT is not a guarantee of non-defective RAM.)

        Hey there nemesyssoft!
    Congrats on the new iPad! It's a great device! We certainly want you to be able to use the device as soon as possible. If I may ask, were you still having issues connecting to the data network at all? Activation can take be a bit longer the initial time. Please let us know if you still need assistance.
    Thanks!

  • I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover.  The attachment seems to be depolarized and it moves around causing the device to toggle and flash like its coming on or shorting.  Anyone having problems?

    I'm having problems with iPad 2 and my smart cover.  The attachment seems to be depolarized, trys to connect using the back (curved) edge of the magnetized bracket.  When I try to attach it, it moves around causing the device to toggle in a way that looks like the camera flash.  Anyone having problems? Help.

    Update. My carrier says the antenna of my iPhone 4s is not so good as the one in the iPhone 3G. They can't solve the problem. Their signal is too weak for the 4s at places I spend most of my time. Not the answer I expected, but I'm free to choose an other carrier. Hope this will help.
    This was not the correct answer, I accidentially clicked the button..

    You may have to do this several times.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Problems with iPad Air 2 as a music player

    I purchased my iPad Air 2 predominantly as a music storage/playing device, to replace my ancient component stereo system.  Within the first 24 hours, I was ready to return it due to the confusing display of music loaded on iTunes compared with the format on our Windows PC (which included a layer of text scrolling on top of another layer of text), and the inability to set up Playlists.  We visited the Apple store where the "Genius" tech resolved the problem by reinstalling the operating system.  Thereafter, the device worked well, driving one Sony speaker or a set of ear buds via Bluetooth, or two Sony speakers simultaneously over our WiFi network.  The sound far exceeded our expectations.  However, after accepting an "update" almost a week ago, the device became "locked" midway through setting up a Playlist, and became unusable for any action in iTunes (except adding every song I attempted to play to the same playlist, with no ability to complete the playlist, or play any music whatsoever).  Also, the original  iTunes display problems were back.  We returned to the Apple store where the same "Genius" tech verified the problem and, believing it was unique to my device, arranged for a replacement.
    The replacement (first tried at home) had the same screen problems when using the keyboard that other users have described.  Setting up Playlists was again problematic.  But worst of all, music wouldn't play wirelessly over either of our two speakers, or the ear buds.  So, back to the Apple store, where the technician verified the screen problems, and advised the device would have to be replaced, again.  Unfortunately, they had none in stock.  So, while waiting for a replacement, I'm unable to play music, which means my iPad is sitting, unused. In fact, I've now been "out of service" for my primary use for more than 10 percent of the time I've owned my iPad Air 2, and I'm losing patience.
    Surprisingly, the second device did "recognize" the wireless speakers in the Apple store.  But, not our speakers at home.  Can anyone explain why our replacement won't play music over speakers that worked flawlessly with our original iPad Air 2?  Has anyone else had problems with their iPad Air 2 driving speakers or ear buds?

    You can't use any iPad as a phone other than using the handoff feature with iOS 8 but you need to have an iPhone in order for that to work anyway. In addition, you have to be on the same WiFi network and signed into the same Apple ID and iCloud account.
    Bottom line, you can't use the Air as a standalone phone

    ps the fw of the ipad is 4.3.3...

    Greetings rusfrco,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with app updates app on your iPad. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

  • Problems with iPad 3 after IOS 5.1.1 update

    Hello.
    I connected my iPad to my imac this afternoon for the first time (usually it was synch with my sister's macbook pro), and the software update for ipad immediately started.
    I thought it was no harm with updating.
    However ever since it was updated, just within a hours, i noticed problems with it.
    The screen moved on its own. Without me pressing or holding anything. The camera stopped working too.
    I tried restoring through itunes on both my imac and my sis's macbook pro, the problem persisted and it was even more serious.
    After restoring i could not even configure. The screen just enlarge, minimise on it's own, going back to the previous page on its own. And after a few seconds it will just HANG there. After restarting it's still the same.
    NOW I IT'S LIKE I CANT EVEN USE IT?!?!
    I'm getting really fed up with it.

    Try a reboot of your ipad. Hold the Sleep/Wake button and Home button simulataneously. Keep holding, ignoring the red slider, until the Apple logo appears. Release the buttons and let the ipad restart. A reboot often fixes numerous problems.
    Also are you aware that by suncing with a different computer it is likely the personal stuff you had on your ipad from your imac will be removed?
    The ipad is designed to sync with only one device.

  • Music sync problems with ipad after 8.1.3 update

    So toady after many weeks of meaning to update my music on iPad, I got round to doing it. I could cry at this moment I had the same problems with my iPod a few weeks back, where I could get so far with putting music on and then iTunes would just wipe what I had just put on. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I ended up just giving up with my iPod. I lost over 200 songs, that iTunes decided to wipe off my device, and now I have just lost over 100 on my iPad. Help would be appreciated

    Thanks Apple, for breaking my ipad, I suppose I will just have to wait for a 8.1.3 Jailbreak update, have never done it before, but it looks like that's the only possible way to get my ipad working again.

  • Problem with IPad/IPhone

    Hi,
    I have a problem with the functioning of an animation on IPad / IPhone, here's an example http://www.mvmarine.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=62&Itemid=71&lang=it
    holding down one of the arrows, the boat should rotate.
    With other devices work perfectly, but with IPad / IPhone often works in spurts, sometimes Safari chrash.
    I made this other version http://www.mvmarine.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=117&Itemid=84&lang=it
    where the animation part to click, but I still have the same problems.
    Can you hel me?
    Thanks

    On my iPad when I hold down on the rotate buttons it does rotate but I see that you have the same problem that I do regarding the iPad menu appearing when holding a button for more than a half second or so. Do you have any idea how to prevent the (Copy | Select | Select All) menu from popping up on the iPad?

  • Storage Problem with Zen vP

    Hi folks,?I recently got?a Zen vPlus for Christmas, and with only 82 songs, 7 pictures, and [short] video, it appears that all of my 2 GBs are already used up. When I go into 'extras' and 'removable disc', it seems that GB is dedicated just to that, which seems strange because when connecting it to the computer, the 'removable disk U: dri've' appears to have no files on it. Has anybody had similar issues? More importantly, does anyone know what the problem may be with my storage? Surely the 2GBs have not been used up with so few files? After all, it is advertised as being able 000 songs... Many thanks for your help,?- CD

    It's not a storage problem, but your Zen has been configured to use gb of its space as removable storage. You can get it all back by going to Extras ---> Removable Disk --> Hold Back Button --> Selecting Disable. You can also switch the capacity, if you want a small portion of your space to be used for non-media files.
