Differences in "storage used" between iPad and iTunes

I have an iPad Mini 2 and there a differences between the stated "storage used" between the iPad and iTunes.
Looking in the general settings "Storage" it states I have used 113GB and available is 413MB.
Looking on iTunes, when the iPad is connected, it states I have 67.20GB free.
Which is correct and what causes the problem?
How is it fixed if it is because the iPad has a fault?
Many thanks.

It is now a couple of weeks and noticed the discrepancy occurring again.  I did not want to go through the above process again because it took about 4 hours to get my iPad up, running again and normal.
Again, there was a difference in memory by about 20GB.
This time it tried something different.
1) Went into General settings on iPad and managed memory.  From here I removed all films and TV episodes.  Now Video memory was zero.
2) Switched off WiFi.  When I opened the Video app, I noticed a pile of films and TV episodes showing, even though they had the cloud icon.  They could even be watched.  I deleted these films/episodes.
3) Viewed the iPad memory using iTunes on laptop and compared to iPad general settings usage (video memory negligible).  Both numbers pretty much spot on.
My musings - I can only assume that the iPad does not properly delete films/episodes that I had previously watched.  It is evidently holding on to the video, even though I had deleted them and they were not showing in general settings.  Though it is a hassle, I at least now how to find where the "lost" memory is and how to reclaim it.

  • Configuration between ipad and itunes

    Hello.
    I have an iPad 2 and I sincronice it with iTunes. All is fine. I make the changes in the order of the apps in the iPad and I want to transfer this order to the iTunes, but when connect it to the Pc and open iTunes, I select the device and before Apps. I can see the device but if I select Sincro Apps, the order in the device is changed by the order in iTunes.
    I dont know if I explain it well. I need to put my acctual order in the iPad to the iTunes. Thanks

    I think you are trying to keep the screens arranged the same way in iTunes as they are on the iPad? Is that what you want to do? The way the apps are listed under the Sync Apps heading means nothing if you want to arrange them on your own.
    Just tap and hold down on an app icon until all of the icons wiggle and then you can move the apps in an order that you want them on the iPad. You can also do the same thing in iTunes when your iPad is connected and iTunes is running. Try arranging the apps in iTunes and then sync and see if that makes a difference.
    There is no guarantee that when you sync the next time that the app arrangement will be maintained but all things being equal - it should work.
    Now - did I misunderstand you or am I on the right track?

  • Why has file sharing between iPad and iTunes stopped working?

    After installing the new version of iTunes and Lion my iPad shared files no longer appear in the Shared Files window in the Apps tab.  For instance I use Artrage and have imported many of my drawings using iTunes....but now this no longer works.  I contacted Artrage and they say that this does not seem to be a problem with specific Apps because they are seeing similar complaints from other people with the same problem but with different Apps.  I no longer have access to my Pages document either.  Does any one have any tips on how to fix this?  Anyone else having the same problem?  Thanks.
    So to clarify....I connect my iPad.  Click my connected iPad tab on the left.  Then click the Apps tab along the top.  Then I scroll down and see the File Sharing section.  I see 4 Apps that allow file sharing.  I click Artrage to see files appear on the right hand side.  No files are listed. (I have at least 30-50 drawings)  I click Pages to access files.  2 files do appear....but not all files.  On my iPad I have 3 folders each with more than 4 documents....plus 4 other documents that are not in folders.
    Hope this makes sence. 

    I saw a similar post that had a solution posted.  The idea was a corrupted iPad back up.  So I deleted my iPad back up and created a new one.  This did not work.
      I was hoping it would be so easy.

  • Can I use an iPad and a ipad2 with the same iTunes in my computer? I want to use both

    Can I use an iPad and a ipad2 with the same iTunes in my computer? I want to use both. Want to give one to wife.do I need to open a new iTunes account for her?

    Yes, No problem at all.
    Want to give one to wife.do I need to open a new iTunes account for her?
    No - you can share the same iTunes account (my wife and I share the same account). But when you sync the iPads, just remember to select the correct content for her iPad and the correct content for your iPad.

    My wife had an iPad for a year and synced to our computer with no problem.  I recently received an ipad2 and when I tried to sync using separate apple and iTunes passwords, under her computer user name, it appears I over-road her account and synced all her apps with my apps on my iPad.  I then set myself up as a new user on our computer and tried to sync.  I now get the error that my iPad is synced to another library.  How can I start over without erasing all my data on the iPad?

    Go back to her login.  Unless you deliberately erased apps, they should all be there, both yours and hers!  Then, you need to set up each iPad separately.  You will notice that they have separate names for that very purpose.
    There is no problem with multiple Apple IDs on the same iTunes on the same computer except...  Apps are permanently associated with the ID that was originally used to obtain them.  If you choose to update an app from inside iTunes and you're logged into the "wrong" ID, you must log out and back in again.
    On the bright side, you can configure either or both iPads to sync with apps and music and movies, etc. from either or both IDs.  Further, if you choose to update the apps from the iPads themselves, there is no need to log out/in.  The device handles that.  All you need is the correct password.  In my case, I use the same password for both IDs to make things easier.

  • Can you share alert and ring tones from iTunes between iPad and iPhone

    Can you share alert and ring tones from iTunes between iPad and iPhone like you can music and movies?

    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

  • How do I transfer ring tones between ipad and non-apple phone using bluetooth

    Can I transfer ring tones between ipad and non-apple phone using bluetooth?

    No. iOS devices do not support file transfers between non-iOS devices over Bluetooth.
    They probably wouldn't work anyway, as iOS ringtones have to be in a specific format.

  • Syncing notes between iPad and a MacBook with Lion OSX

    I cannot sync notes manually between iPad and MacBook - I could do that with Snow Leopard by creating a subfolder in Notes and keeping my Notes in that subfolder.  This doesn't work with Lion OSx - any ideas out there

    I would prefer MobileMe but have not been able to use that to sync notes.  So - I use itunes and check "Sync notes" under Other in the Info tab

  • ICloud not pushing apps between iPad and iPhone what am I doing wrong

    I have a new iPad2 and a new iPhone4.  I put iOS5 on both of them.  My understanding of this was when you purchased an app on one device it would push to your other devices.  I did this and the apps do not push to my other device.  I use the same Apple ID for both if that matters.  I set up iCloud on both devices, turned everything "on" and created an @me account.  What am I doing wrong?  Thank you in advance for any help...feeling like an iDiot

    I believe you are misunderstanding.  You don't sync apps between iPad and iPhone, and iCloud has nothing to do with any of this.  There is a setting in Settings -> Store where you can set each device to automatically download NEW apps, meaning that when you buy a new app on one device, the other automatically downloads it.  However, this is for new downloads only.
    For your existing apps, you can simply connect each device to your computer and move the desired apps to it in iTunes.  Or you can go to the App Store and re-download those apps.

  • Pages not updating iCloud between iPad and IPhone

    Can somebody please help?
    My Pages app won't stream the current documents to my iPhone using iCloud .
    I've tried everything I could possibly do. I've deleted the Pages app off my iPhone and started again. It just won't update the current documents that reflect on my iPad.
    It just has the arrows pointing upwards on the top right hand corner of quite a few documents. This is suggesting that there is no Internet connection when there is. I've tried it over WiFi and on 2 separate Bluetooth pairings with 2 iPhones. Each time it is connected with the Internet but the arrows still suggest otherwise.
    I have turned every possible iCloud on in every area. Turned them off then on, reset my phone from scratch doing a clean install not using a previous back up. Still didn't work...  Then going back and resetting using a previous back up... Still didn't work :(
    I have a 6 month old Mac Mini, the latest iPhone  5 and one month old iPad 4 with the current software updates.....
    Please help

    In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • How can I sync my photo contents in iPhoto on my iMac to my new iPAD's iPhoto?  I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but I cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!

    I follwed all the instructions on manuals for both iPAD and iTunes re syncing, but after physically connecting iPAD with iMac with USB or via WiFi I still cannot find "phone button" under Device name on iTunes page. Please help!  Thanks!
    I have been creating a photo book using a lots of photographs on iPhoto, and then I took another photos by using new iPAD which I want to integrate with the original album/book on iMac. I was able to import them from iPAD's iPhoto to iMac's iPhoto.  However I cannot import or transfer or sync anything from iMac's iPhoto to that of my iPAD. 
    So my iPhoto page on iPAD contains only 3 or 4 newly created albums, and no other info.  That means no syncing....
    I am supposed to be able to work on this project on either of these iPAD and iMac, correct?
    I am puzzled.  I appreciate for your advice and help.
    Thank you!

    It doesn't appear under the iPad device on the left-hand sidebar of iTunes, you need to select the iPad device on the sidebar and then select the Photos tab on the right-hand side of iTunes e.g.
    And then on the right-hand side :

  • I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

    I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
    I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?

    the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
    I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
    handbrake is a free program which does this for you
    itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
    or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
    about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
    if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
    apple don't use DRM for music any more
