16Gb brand new ipad only with 14Gb capacity?

I have purchased today a new ipad 2 16GB.
I have connected with my mac and shows only 14Gb capacity , where is my remaining 2Gb?

Storage is always quoted as the raw storage. But, no device stores data raw, it needs a file system, a language that the disk/memory speaks. Once you format memory/storage it looses space to the disk file system. Then, more space is taken up by the operating system. So thats your 2GB.
Same as when you buy a PC. It says how much space the disk has but Windows or OSX takes up some of that space.

  • Is it possible to change my brand new IPad 2 with Ipad 3 / Airbook in india

    Hi,
    I have packed brand new IPAD2 which I want to change with IPAD3/Airbook. Let me know if this is possible in India.
    Thanks

    You cannot trade them.
    You can return your iPad 2 and take the money to buy an iPad 3, if you are in the return window(usually 14 days).
    If you are outside the return window, you will have to sell your iPad 2 on eBay or something and apply the money to buying a new iPad.

  • Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet.

    Brand new iPad 2 32GB with 3G. When I hooked it up to my computer, the capacity bar had 11.4GB full in the "other" category even though i haven't synced anything yet. What does the "other" category consist of and how can I fix this?

    The iPad was sealed in the box when I got it. It had the plastic screen protector wrapped all around it and when I powered it on for the first time it displayed the "connect to iTunes for setup" message displayed. The only other thing I can think of is if the person I bought it from had ordered it through Verizon on and the iPad was set up on a number on his pre-existing verizon account. My question is should I just keep using it and consider myself lucky? Since there is no way for Verizon to charge me for the usage because I never signed a contract. I realize that if it is on the account belonging to the person I bought it from, they will eventually figure this out and shut it off. But I might as well use it in the meantime right?

  • Brand new ipad- it won't auto sync with my PC

    I expected to pull out my brand new iPad and plug it into my laptop (windows) and it would be a simple automatic process to make them communicate. The iPad comes with this tiny card that makes it sound completely easy and automatic. That did not happen. I've re-booted my laptop and re-plugged in iPad. I've downloaded newest itunes. Nothing happens in my itunes to detect the iPad like it does when I plug in my ipod. The only thing on the iPad screen is a graphic of the USB cord pointing to and iTunes icon. then it goes black again.
    Help! I'm very disappointed that I'm wasting so much time searching for help on something I've spent so much money to invest in, hoping it would simplify my life. So far, not so good.

    Do you have any other iOS devices like an Iphone of ipod touch that connect to the computer?  Also make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements, and make sure you're connecting to a 2.0 usb port directly on the computer, not on a hub.

  • Okay, so i was on craigslist and found a guy who would trade me his  fairly new Macbook 2008 model for my brand new iPad 2. Is this a good deal and should i go throuh with it?

    Okay, so i was on craigslist and found a guy who would trade me his  fairly new Macbook 2008 model for my brand new iPad 2. Is this a good deal and should i go throuh with it?

    A deal is only a good deal if you get the best value out of the deal.
    If you need a MacBook more than an iPad or an iPad more than a MacBook, then it's a good deal.
    Comes down to what value the use of the product is to you.

  • Brand new ipad stuck in recovery mode with error 21

    Brand new ipad just out of box starting setting up and now its stuck in recovery mode and keeps giving error 21 - tried turning off firewalls as suggested and another PC... nothing working... is it a complete turkey or is it me?

    Sorry I can't help with your issue. Just wanted to point out that it's not a good idea creating multiple posts on the same topic as it only serves to cause confusion, duplicate answers and divides responses between threads.

    I have a brand new ipad with iOS 6.1.3 and an imac with OS 10.5.8. I cannot update my OS on this machine, but want to sync the new ipad. What can I do?

    If it's an Intel Mac, you can upgrade it to Mac OS X 10.6.8.
    If it's a PowerPC Mac, you need to use these instructions and/or iTunes Match to put content on the iPad.

  • I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? Please help!

    I accidentally synced my mum's brand new iPad to my mac book air. A few days later I realised that my iTune library on my mac is completely gone. So is my iPhone 4s after I synced it with my mac. How do I get my old iTunes library back? I tried using icloud on my iphone but it stated that I have never back up my phone before. So I guess my iCloud data is gone too? But I have back up my mac in my harddrive using time machine. So how do I get my old itune library back? Please help! Thanks!

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • HT204409 I am unable to connect to my Wi-Fi at home, but am able to connect at work.  Using my new iPad 4G with cellular and a Motorola SBG6580.  My iPad 3G Wi-Fi only connects just fine; the 4G just "spins the gear."

    I am unable to connect to my Wi-Fi at home, but am able to connect at work.  Using my new iPad 4G with cellular and a Motorola SBG6580.  My iPad 3G Wi-Fi only connects just fine; the 4G just "spins the gear."

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    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)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • A "brand new" ipad mini 3 came with a photo

    Received a "brand new" ipad mini 3 around a week ago.  However, it came with a photo in the Photos folder that was taken on November 23, 2014. The photo looks like a screenshot with the QR code along with the ipad model code and the serial number of the ipad. It also says 99% in the photo. Did anybody run into this?

    Sounds almost like an internal-use image (given the info that was in the image) that was not deleted or mistakenly taken before packaging. Did you try and scan the QR code (with another device that has the capability) and see what the QR code comes up as? (if it's internal use, it may not come up with anything)
    Regardless, that's the first I hear of it.

  • Error code 1013 after updating a brand new iPad 3G 16GB

    Hi all,
    I've got my new iPad today and over excited I've attached it to iTunes (v 10.1). It asked me to upgrade to the new OS and I did. After that it gave an error and told me that I had to recover. Now i'm trying to recover it all night and I still get the error message:
    The iPad couldn't be recovered. There has been an unknown error (1013).
    Has anybody seen this error before? And if so, what's the solution. It's a brand new iPad and I haven't got a clue what's wrong.
    Kind Regards,
    Rob

    Hi Graham,
    Yes that should explain it. I've found that article earlier today. The following doesn't solve it off course:
    +Error 23, 28, 29, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1611: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article and also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. If the MAC address is missing or the IMEI is the default value (00 499901 064000 0), this can also confirm a hardware issue.+
    I have tried connecting on a different USB port, trying a different Windows laptop. I even went to my parents house to attach it to their Mac. Not solved yet. I'm a bit desperate. I've called the Apple Custumer Desk, but they couldn't help me either. They want me to sent my iPad to them and I will get it back in two weeks. But I'm not believing that it is a problem with the hardware...
    any ideas?

  • Brand new IPad 3 out of the box - set up problem with Apple ID

    Brand new iPad 3 out of the box - set up problem. It says my Apple ID (email address) is already being used. I reset the password successfully but still says I need another Apple ID. Why won't the ID recornize me?

    Open current iTunes on your computer. Connect iPhone to the computer with the Lightning USB Cable. Hold both the Home and Power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes the iPhone in Recovery Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes. If still problem, make Genius reservation or set up Sevice and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

  • Serious Issues with brand new iPad 3

    Ok so I was given a brand new iPad 3 as a gift on Sunday.  And since then my life has been stressful!!
    Email: When I click on the email icon up comes a message saying Unable to Move Message, referring to one of the first emails I tried to delete. So, no email program then.
    Music: My windows media files of literally hundreds of ripped CD's will not copy across. The system is not interested and the computer hangs after a few seconds. So no music program then.
    Documents: I don't know how to get literally a decades worth of MS Word docs onto my iPad. The Doc app I downloaded has no instruction page, so I don't even know how to underline a heading (it's called Goodreader). So no document program.
    Calendar: When I tried to sync my outlook calendar instead of syncing it, it wiped it clean and dumped the appointments onto the iPad. This means with no appointments now on Outlook, it has synced with Google Calendar and wiped Google calendar clean and in turn wiped my blackberry clean of a year's worth of appointments. I am royally and truly stuffed now.
    I have run out of patience with this and I really, really need help!!

  • Where can buy a new ipad 4g with CDMA. looks like only the USA edition support CDMA

    where can buy a new ipad 4g with CDMA. looks like only the USA edition support CDMA

    You would need to purchase it within the country in which your are trying to use it. CDMA devices are tied to a specific carrier (for example, a Sprint CDMA iPhone will not work on Verizon's CDMA network). I'd contact the carrier your interested in using.
