After sync iPad shows 21GB other

After syncing my 64GB iPad with my computer (Mac) it shows 21GB "Other" when it should be approx 25GB free. When I googled it I was advised to restore from backup which I did but it didn't change. I'm not sure if I can restore to a previous backup (not sure where to look for that on my Mac?

If you have multiple backups in iTunes, they would appear in the drop down menu in the window that pops up when you select the option to restore from a backup. Did you see the drop down menu? Typically it would show the name of your iPad and the last backup for the device.
Besides, you will only have multiple backups if you have restored from backups in the past. Every time that you restore from a backup, another date and time stamped backup is created in iTunes and those backups would be accessible in that drop down menu.
I assume that you have never restored from a backup until just now and since that did not work, restoring to factory settings and then adding your apps and media back onto the iPad is probably what you should try next.

  • After syncing iPad Air with iTunes the Info Page no longer shows up.  Doesn't matter if I sync via wi-fi or try another computer.  Without the Info Page how do I sync my calander/contacts/mail ??

    I think there's a big ol' discussion in the Mavericks forum about this - some folks have suggested setting up your own CalDAV server so you can continue syncing without having to route things through iCloud.
    It may be simpler to go back to Mountain Lion or Lion (assuming you were on either of those). My syncing computer is on Lion and can't go higher so I didn't realize until recently that USB syncing over contacts & calendars was no longer available!

  • After syncing iPad from desktop I can't open my library in my ipad

    After syncing iPad from desktop I can't open mu music library in my New iPad

    I assume that you are looking in the iPod app. If so, and there is nothing there, then try closing the iPod app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the iPod app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iPod app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Issues with Photo orientation after syncing IPad

    Just wondering if anyone has had issues with the ipad changing the orientation of photos following syncing ipad with itunes. What I have been experiencing is that although the photo is in portrait orientation in iphoto on the imac, this same photo after syncing of the ipad with itunes on this same imac machine, the photo when opened up on the ipad is in landscape orientation. Have consulted with senior advisors at apple but not sure if this is an iphoto problem or an itunes/ipad sync problem? seems to me that whatever the orientation of the photo is in iphoto, that when you sync the ipad the photo should transfer with the same orientation. anyone else having this problem?

    There have been several posts here and on the iphone site about this.
    The jury is still out what the fix will be. Some posts say it's a problem with the metadata and the orientation data contained there-in. I can not confirm that.
    I do know that when I take a landscape screen snap, the orientation is wrong when I email or upload the photo to my computer.

  • Missing tags after syncing (TV Shows)

    I have some TV Shows that have their tags filled out correctly for iTunes (e.g., Season Number and Episode Number), but those tags won't display on my Apple TV even after syncing. I've tried filling out every field I can on the video files, to no avail. And even more frustrating? It's not a consistent problem. If I try to stream them from iTunes instead of accessing them on the Apple TV itself, all the tags are correct. (Plus this problem seems to affect only about half my TV Shows.) And yes, I've inspected the tags for all the episode files of this show and they're consistent. What's going on?

    Hello there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First of all, are you positve you have properly configured and setup your iPod to sync TV Shows, from under the *TV Shows* tab for your iPod in iTunes?
    I would also check their media type in iTunes. To do this, locate the TV shows in iTunes, right ->click on them and choose "get info" from the Menu. From there, head over to the Options tab. There should be a drop down menu next to "Media Type". Make sure it is set to "Tv Show".
    If not either of those, do you receive any error messages while syncing these TV shows over to your iPod. Let me know. Would love to help.

  • After sync, iPad resyncs (sort of) 10 or more times, stuck in a loop

    So, this has been annoying me for ages. I've got several devices, had several iPhones and the procedure shold be:
    1) connect to laptop
    2) iTunes syncs device
    3) iTunes says it's done syncing
    4) device goes back to home (or lock) screen
    With my iPad, after iTunes says it's done syncing, it gets stuck in a loop, sometimes for minutes at end, where the apple icon plus wait spinner comes up again and again with the sound that normally occurs when you first connect. This *can't be right*. So how exactly can I fix it? FWIW, I am completely up-to-date with OS updates.
    Any thoughts?

  • After sync NOTHING shows up on Palm Desktop

    My Treo 650 from Verizon works perfectly. It also syncs perfectly to my computer, installing any new programs I have que'd to and not having any sort of trouble.
    Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is my default program for handling any sort of files for palm, but when it's opened there is absolutely NOTHING that my palm has sync'd showing up for it. No phone contacts, dates, anything.
    I don't have a data plan, so I don't use Outlook or have any contacts or addresses in there, but shouldn't my phone contacts and calendar dates be backed up and showing up on Palm Desktop?
    Thanks in advance for any help in resolving this.

  • After syncing, iTunes shows a large amount of "other" data

    Does anyone know what this means and how to fix it? I should have 3 gigs of apps but I only have 0.05.....

    I have the same issue - after the last sync my "other" was blown up to 3 GB. I have tried already several syncs with also de-activating apps/ videos etc. But nothing works. Any other idea than the restoring?

  • All my playlists are gone on my iPad except purchased after syncing iPad to laptop. Is there a way to get them back?

    I had about five playlists on my iPad, plus the Purchased playlist. I synced the iPad to my laptop using the USB cord. After that, I noticed that the only playlist on my iPad is Purchased. Is there a way to get the other playlists back? I checked my iTunes Library on my laptop and the playlists aren't there either.

    Ringtones are a one-time only download from the store, they won't show in the Purchased links for redownloading for free - unless the phone was on iOS 8.1.1 when you bought them on it : Restore missing tones on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 8.1.1 - Apple Support
    If you bought them on your old phone then did you copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - or have you still got that phone with the tones on it so that you can do so ? If you have then you can sync them to your new phone.
    If you don't have a copy of them in your iTunes library, and your phone wasn't on iOS 8.1.1 when you bought them on it, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a redownload : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Even after syncing with iTunes, the usage amount on iTunes does not match what is on my iPhone.  iPhone says I have less that 1G of storage left, while iTunes says I have 6G of storage.  Why is this??

    I can't tell how much storage I have left on my device.  Even after syncing, iTunes shows that I have 6G of storage left.  My phone says I only have 325MB of storage left.  When I try to update my apps on my phone, I'm told that I don't have enough space available.  Why is this, and how can I correct this?  Thanks!

    Howdy mamat2004,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
    From your post I understand that even though you have imported and deleted all of the photos from your iPhone, it is still showing as if the photos were still located on the device.  To start troubleshooting this issue I'd like you to please reset the iPhone.  If the issue persists then please put the device into recovery mode, and then select the option to Update in iTunes.  Choosing this option will reinstall iOS without erasing any of your personal data.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Take care,

  • The free space for my iphone on itunes does not match the free space on my iphone after syncing.

    The free space for my iphone on itunes does not match the free space on my iphone after syncing. iTunes shows 6.7 G free, but my iphone shows 6 G free. Why such a delta?

    They've never sussed this out - been a problem the last year or two for me regardless of all the new iOS versions and iTunes versions. Regardless of multiple resets and full restores.  Mine showed 3.7 avail on computer, less than .5 on phone.  I did a reset and full restore.  It helped - but still differs dramatically - now showing 5.8 avail on computer but only 2.9 on phone.
    APPLE!!! I have spent 10s of thousands on your products both at my business and home - why?  "Because it just works" I've been telling people.  Not sure if I can keep on saying that if you don't get this figured out!!

  • I have deleted all photos off my ipad but it is still showing 5 gig of photos in itunes after syncing

    I have deleted all the photos in my ipad and it is still showing 5 gig of photos in itunes even after syncing.

    I don't see an issue, but if you mean why didn't you get most of your memory back you need to see what else is using storage. Go to Settings/General/Usage. Wait a bit for it to calculate storage allocation, then when it finishes you can see how much storage each app uses.
