My iPad free space was shrinking. Previously I did an iOS upgrade and got more free space so I tried a restore and the same thing happened. Do I have a setting wrong? There was a significant change from 4.3 GB to now 10.2 GB. I still have all the same apps, photos, songs, etc. So what's up? Why does my space not recover after I delete things?
This is what I did to resolve the issue. First I did a simple Reset (Home and on/off until the Apple logo appears) and it didn't help. Then I did a Restore with a reload from the backup and that also accomplished nothing. Then, I did a Restore as new with NO reload from backup and that resolved my issue.
IF you choose to try the same thing, here are some cautions. Make absolutely certain that all apps, music, movies, etc. are present in the iTunes library. Also make absolutely certain that all "regular" data, such as pdf files, Word files, etc. are present and accessible somewhere on the computer's hard drive. Be aware that you will probably lose all game data (scores, etc.). I did not investigate a solution for that because I don't play many games and I really don't care about the game history. Finally, be forewarned that it is a bit tedius recreating all your folders and putting each app where you want it.

My I pad won't play pandora and solitaire at the same time. Do I have a setting wrong.
My I pad won't play pandora and solitaire at the same time. Do I have a stating wrong
Pandora is supposed to play in the background. I suspect the solitaire app is trying or has grabbed the net connection. Try a different solitaire game.
Ever wonder why a solitaire app needs access or location services? Hmmm. -
I'm attempting to sync several albums from itunes to iphoto. When select to sync all albums it copies over the previous recorded album. I tried to sync the Albums individually and the same thing happens. Any ideas on how to sync my albums?
Hi NWL1,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

I had an iPAD 4. Since I updated to IOS 7 it began to freeze up. I now have the iPad Air and the same thing happens. I'd like some advice because apple's technical service has no idea.
Technical service in Spain is useless. They told me to re-install everything again as when it's brand new, application by application to see which one is failing. I have 150 applications.
If they continue in this direction they will end up like Palm
You can tell Steve Jobs is no longer in charge.
I'm thinking of moving to Samsung.If this problem continued across an iPad with Retina to an iPad Air it is almost definite it is one of your apps causing the problem. Run it for a day with no apps loaded on it, if it doesn't freeze then one of your apps that has not been updated is causing the issue. And the Technical Service in Spain gave you correct information.
It was no different when Mr. Jobs was still in charge (I was around for iOS 3.0) and it is no different on a Surface or a Note. -

After all you've tried, Dah*veed is probably right about needing warranty assistance.
But first check to be sure Settings-Airplane Mode is set to OFF, and Settings-WiFi-WiFi is set to ON.
Try unplugging your WiFi router for a few seconds. Then reset the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. You will need to reconnect to your WiFi.

I have a iPhone 5s all of a sudden my music on my iPhone would only ply oit of one speaker in the car. I thought it was the Audio Cable went and brought another Audio Cable and the same thing again. I than plugged my son phone which is a NOTE 3 into the Audio Cable and it started playing fine. I purchase all of my music from the Apple Store and one of the reasons is because I enjoy listening to my phone with my playlist inside my car. Has anyone else experienced this? Apple needs to fix this ASAP or refund me my money back for all the songs I purchased.
If you connect headphones to your 5s do you also hear music on from one side?
If yes get a light and inspect the headphone jack and clean out any dirt/debris/ etc. you find in there.
If that does not fix it you will need to get your iPhone replaceed under your warranty. -
My IPAD has a little box around everything I tap. I have tried to reset the IPAD 2 but to no avail. Now I am locked out and cannot put my passcode into the Ipad2 so I cannot back up the IPAD 2 when plugged in. It is charged ..I was reading a Foot Smart email when this occured. Help
Sounds like you have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (or Triple-Click Home depending upon the iOS version).
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes (after typing in your passcode via the tap/double-tap process) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064 -
Please help!
I'm sorry, you are correct I am trying to restore my ipad because it stopped working. We thought the battery was dead so we plugged it into the wall charger. All it does when plugged in is flash the apple logo like it is going to start up and then shut off. It repeats this every few seconds while it is plugged into the wall. I let it charge overnight and still nothing.
When I hold the power button and the home button down together while the ipad is plugged into the wall, it does flash then after I release the power button the connect to itunes screen comes on. But when I connect it to my computer it goes blank. itunes does not recongnize my ipad when I plug it into the computer. I have used the same cord to plug in my other devices and itunes recongnizes them so it isn't the usb cord.
It seems as if my system has crashed and I think this may just be an apple service trip for me. But thanks so much for the advice. =D -

Why I can not go to webpage even wifi is on?it happens every 6 minutes.......
Is it the same webpage everytime? And is it exactly 6 minutes?
If you have control over the modem and wifi router, i.e. your personal router in your home, I would powercycle your modem and router and see what happens.
1. unplug the wifi router's power cord
2. unplug the modem's power cord
3. wait 10 - 15 seconds (I usually wait about a minute)
4. plug the modem back in and wait for it to stabilize
5. plug the router back in and wait for it to stabilize
6. try to to to the web page again.
And while I am waiting for my modem to start back up and get itself connected to the internet I usually restart my iPad/iPhone. Hold the Home button and the Power button down at the same time, wait for the apple logo to appear and then wait for the device to to a restart. Very much like rebooting your PC. -
What do i do
Actually I simply would uninstall anything related to Adobe AIR, including AMP or the Acrobat.com widget. If you just uninstall AMP, one of ther others is going to bite you in your behind. It's a flwa in the installer that does not correctly detect and handle outdated versions of Adobe AIR.
