Capacity maxed out on ipad after updating to iOS6

capacity maxed out as "Other" on ipad after updating to iOS6.  How do I fix?

You can try this, but it appears as though the download went bad and you might very well have to restore your iPad to get rid of the "Other",
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
"Other" consist of non media content .... App documents and files, contacts, calendar entries, Safari bookmarks and history, notes, email messages and so on. It should not be bloating your iPad storage.

  • IWork Numbers unable to sync between iPhone & iPad after update to iOS6

    After updating to iOS 6 on both iPhone & iPad, iWorks Numbers do not sync as before.

    You need to enable iCloud syncing on each device for automatic syncing. On the iPad, go to Settings & scroll way down to Numbers & turn iCloud on.

  • Why can't I use my mails after updating to ios6

    After updating to ios6 I can't get or send  mails. How can I i fix it?

    Same problem here. After installing iOS 5, restoring, and syncing... when I clicked on the music icon on my iPad, none of my songs were there. All I saw was "download music from iTunes store." But, on iTunes, when I clicked on my iPad icon (then Music), it showed that all of my songs were synced!
    So, this is what worked for me, I rebooted my iPad.
    I turned off my iPad by holding down the sleep button for about 5 seconds, then the "Slide to power off" came up, and I powered off my iPad.
    Then, I started it up again, and clicked on the music icon on my iPad, and now all of my synced music showed up.
    I hope this helps some of you guys out there.

  • I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?

    I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?

    Nope
    One needs to press the home and sleep / wake keys together for the phone to reset
    The other thing I could recommend
    Let the battery run out and the phone completely "die"
    It may take a day or two with it not being used
    Then plug it in to charge and see if there is any change in behavior
    If you cannot get this to work - you may need to bring it to an Apple store

  • Wifi connection alway disconnect after update to iOS6

    After update to iOS6 for a month, I found the wifi connection alway disconnect and need to reconnect severaly times. Plese help to suggest for setting up.

    Hello there cyldevil,
    I would recommend using this article if the Wifi is grayed out in settings.
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Here is also some additional info on troubleshooting wifi in general on your device from iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
    Be sure that you are in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.If unable to do so, see this article.
    Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and Cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and indicate that they are connected to the Internet.If not, refer to your network administrator or ISP for assistance.
    Restart your iOS device.
    Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. Then tap > and Forget this Network. Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network again.
    Note: You will need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your desired network requires one.
    Turn your Wi-Fi router off and then on again2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
    Update your device to the latest version of software.
    Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2.For AirPort Base Stations, see this article for information about firmware updates.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • HT1414 I cant download apps after updated to ios6

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > sign out and sign in again.

  • Blurred maps after updating to IOS6

    Why are my maps blurred after updating to IOS6?

    Somebody just dropped a big bomb on my house! The whole area where I live is a blurry mess. I can't make anything out at all. I tried zooming in, out, restarting. Nothing! I really wished I hadn't updated to ios6. If you are thinking of updating, read comments like these first. Now where did I put my Galaxy Tab?

  • After updating to iOS6 my icloud music will not sync!

    After updating to iOS6 my iCloud music will not synch to any device.  I have looked at all possible "switches" and I've even wiped (full delete and reload via iCloud) of my iPad & iPhone.  I've reloaded all music to iCloud, but still not downloading to iPad or iPhone.  Some album info such as # of songs is displayed, but it cannot transfer the actual files.  Can't even download iTunes purchases much less my 20K+ songs!  It sees them, knows they are there, but will not download.  No other internet/network problems with other devices in home.  FLABERGASTED!  Also some of my iPad apps refuse to reistal. 

    Do you have the settings to sync the ringtones automtically or manually? If manual, then you have to drag them from your ringtones list in iTunes onto your iPhone icon.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. 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.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    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
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
