I have an ipad 3/32GB..I need more storage and not sure how to make better use of icloud and release GB

To add to my original question: I had a 1st generation ipad and 32GB was more than enough storage now I'm having trouble making movies, adding media, etc. I have bought another 15GB of storage on I cloud. Can I put all of my apps on i cloud?
I'm going to be taking an overseas flight and wanted to rent a bunch of movies but I'm not sure how to do that.
I would be grateful for any help

To answer your question, you could remove your apps and then download them again as needed. Your purchased apps are part of what is stored in iCloud and purchased apps do not count against the allotment anyway - As far as I know.
You would want to backup to iCloud before you delete the apps. If it were me, I would also back up and sync with iTunes - I still use iTunes and I back up to both iCloud and iTunes.
The suggestion that James made would be OK for bringing the movies with you on the trip .... But you need to be able to use WiFi in order to use the device and the way that I read your question, you want to download movies to watch on the flight. So that will not work on the airline flight. It would store the content for later viewing but won't work on the flight. That is my understanding of the GoFlex drive, but you would have to investigate it further.

  • Hi!  I just updated to Mountain Lion to make full use of iCloud, and I am attempting to turn on Photo Stream.  I currently have iPhoto '09, version 8.12, and think I need to update to iPhoto'11, but I'm reluctant to do this due to very bad reviews.

    Hi!  I just updated to Mountain Lion to make full use of iCloud and am attempting to turn on PhotoStream.  I have iPhoto '09, version 8.12, so I think I need to upgrade to iPhoto '11.  I'm reluctant to do this as I've read a ton of bad reviews written by people who have purchased the new version.  Any suggestions?  Is it worth it?

    Obviously only you can decide what is "worth it".  Millions and millions and millions of people use and like iPhoto '11.  Some don't. If you want PhotoStream then you must upgrade to the minimum software levels

  • Receiving pop ups to secure my files and when I log into any website i get directed to a site with a pop up regarding security.  I assume I have a virus and not sure how to fix it

    I am receiving pop ups to security sites to secure my files etc.  I assume I have a virus but not sure how to fix it.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • Hi really really need help, i have an iphone 5s, one day all my contacts dissapered  so i tryed to back up using my icloud and gained somebody elses contacts, and now i keep getting there photos in my photo stream...

    I have changed my password, i have even changed my email address, then i re enter to the icloud and i still get this other persons information come up on my phone, i am worried that they have got all my photos an contact details... Or deleted all of mine so i have now lost all my information... I dont have the photo sharing on or have anyone else use my id..
    Please help i dont want this persons stuff or the thought that they have invaded my privacy and can see my personal stuff..
    Really put off the iphone now :( only had a month wish id stayed with a blackberry!

    First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
    Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
    Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
    What computer do you have?

  • Replaced the hard on my Macbook and not sure how to install the Mac OS X . i HAVE BOTH DISK

    Hello I am not sure what to do!!!  Ireplaced hard drive on my Macbook. When I put disk one in do I use Disk utility . Help

    You need to provide more information such as:
    What operating system was installed on the computer when it was new?
    Do you have OS X installation discs for the computer?
    Was Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed when the computer was new?
    What is the exact model you have?
    The process is generically:
    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
      1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
          the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
          is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the
          Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
          the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
          (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
          GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
          wait until the process has completed.
      4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
          drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
          window.
      5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
          Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
          return to the Erase window.
      6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
          hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
      1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

  • I think I need to reinstall, but not sure how?

    I borrowed my best friend's MacBook OS X 10.4.11 while he is over seas. It was working fine, but now when I turn it on it shows a gray screen, then the apple, then the circle with a slash through it, then a folder with a question mark blinking! I can't get in it to do any type of Disk Utility and I don't have the disks What should I do? Please help, I don't want him coming home to a broken laptop.

    If you are very lucky it could be a minor issue that might be resolved with running disk repair. Normally you would do this booted to an installer disc, but since you don't have that you can try effecting repairs using [fsk in Single User Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214]. Also [Post by japamac about using fsk|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1649143&tstart=0]
    Here's the Apple document on the issue you report, but I don't see much of help to you in it since it is somewhat dated and you don't have the installer discs.
    [Mac OS X: "Broken folder" icon, prohibitory sign, or kernel panic when computer starts|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1892?viewlocale=en_US]
    If you don't have the installer discs you can't replace the broken operating system and there's not much you can do until you get them. When you do you would need to use the archive and install feature, selecting to keep preferences and other configuration files.
    My preference would also be to back up any critical files before doing any repair techniques. The only way you can do that at this stage is if you have another Mac and can start the problem one in Target disk mode and then copy the files onto the good Mac.

  • I want to store my music files on a NAS (which has an iTunes server built in), but I'm not sure how this will affect my iPhone sync. Will I need a local copy of my music on a computer in order to continue to sync?

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone and I sync playlists to it from iTunes. (I have far in excess of 16GB of music/podcasts.)
    What I want to do is permanently share my music library with all devices in the house, so I'm planning on buying a NAS server that has a built-in iTunes server. (I don't want to just use my computer to share and leave it on 24/7 because that is a phenominal waste of power.) That way all networked computers can just load the library under the 'SHARED' option in the left pane. However, this had me wondering about how I will continue to sync my music to my iPhone? I wondered if I will need to maintain a duplicate of the library on one of my computers, and then have my iPhone sync with that. Otherwise I'm not sure how it'll work.
    Any help/comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Tom.

    Incidentally, my first thought was to map a network share from the NAS to my computer, so that my music files appear on the Z: drive, say on my computer. I could then set up iTunes to store music etc in that folder, and to copy all new items to that folder. However, if I do that, all that'll happen is that on my NAS, the library file will become out of date as I add music to the collection but not to the index.

    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)

  • I need to restore a calendar to my iPad. I checked Itunes but the iPad is not listed as I ahave never sync'd it before. I do have iCloud but not sure how to access to sync. Thanks for any help.

    Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then login with your id. Any content already on the iPad will be tied to the previous owner's id and it can't be copied or transferred to your id - so it's probably best to do restore the iPad back to factory defaults and start as from new with it : Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Contents And Settings

    as robdrage says - they will need to send txts, not imessages.  And if you have not already done so - log into apple dot com and get to your profile / device list, and remove the phone.  If apple thiks the device is active, and the phone number is the same, it will continue to intercept and misdirect messages.

    Hi
    Thanks for that. Yes, the ipad was purchased recently. I called Apple last Friday and they ask for the receipt. I wonder if anyone were able to swap their ipad for a larger storage in the past at the apple store without a receipt? 16Gb is such a small storage.

  • I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage.  I am out of room, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB.

    I have an iPad 3 with 64 GB of storage.  I am out of space, but when I add up my movies music and apps, my usage isn't even close to 64GB. I used to have about a dozen movies.  One day they were just gone and couldn't sync back on. I used to think it was a syncing problem, but it is storage.   I have done a hard restart.  I have deleted some junk from "memory".  I have tried to "clean up" my iPad, but I am missing a ton of space.  Is there a trash can that I need to empty?  Are my movies still stored but inaccessible?  I have read forum posts about an "other" category in stoarge which I don't see on my iPad.  Not sure what else to try.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    An "other" larger than aboutn 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
