How to move music off an iPad, i

Are there external storage devices (or can you just rely on iTunes Match) to move music you've bought from iTunes off my iPad so that it will stop hogging all the space on my iPad's hard drive?  Please, I'm desparate and don't want to delete any of my music.

You don't need iTunes Match if you have a computer running iTunes. Simply transfer the music into iTunes and then delete it from the device. Or you can just delete it from the device and then download it again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the music with. The only caveat with this delete and down pload method is that the music must still be available in the iTunes Store in order for you to download it again. When you transfer the music into iTunes on your computer, if isn't available in the store any longer, you still have access to it via a sync with iTunes.

  • How do i delete all the music off my iPad mini?

    how do i delete all the music off my iPad mini?

    Hello Tami,
    Thank you for the question.  You can remove all the music stored on your iPad mini from the Usage section in Settings:
    View usage on iOS
    Tap Settings > General > Usage to view the amount of space each app and its content takes on your device.
    Tap an app for more detailed information about its usage.
    Depending on the app, you may also be able to delete some of the app's content, or delete the app and its content.
    After you have tapped on Music in the Usage section, swipe from right to left over “All Music” to get the option to tap Delete. This will remove all the music stored on your iPad mini.

    There are also WiFi transfer apps that will let you move the photos from the iPad to your computer. Do a search in the App Store for "Wifi Transfer Apps". Wireless Transfer app is the one that I have been using. There others available in the store as well.

  • How many movies can a 16G iPad hold

    I am thinking of buying an iPad and use it just for playing movies.  So can anyone tell me how much movies does a 16GB iPad hold?

    Rudegar, a new, out of the box iPad only has about 13+ GB free space, so you can't install 16 ea 1GB movies. Plus if you use all the available space, you won't be able to install any apps, music or pics.

    How to move music from PC to Mac

    Network
    Flashdrive
    DVD
    External drive
    Email
    File transfer site
    Take your pick. You have several choices. The easiest, if your computers are networked, would be to drag and drop between the computers. Otherwise copying the files to a thumb drive or DVD then taking the thumb drive or DVD to the other computer is probably easiest. Although you could just upload the files to an online file transer site then download them to the other computer.

    In addition to wanting to know how to move photos around on ipad , i also want to know how to delete photos

    Photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly on the iPad - they are deleted by moving them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing, and they should then be removed from the iPad.
    You also can't alter the order of photos in the Photos app, the sorting needs to be done on your computer prior to syncing : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221

    You can't. But the buyer more than likely restored it because he/she could not use your Apple ID.

  • How can I Print off my IPAD 2

    How can I print Off my IPAD 2

    If the printer supports AirPrint then you should be able to print to it if the iPad and printer are connected to the same wifi network - the printers that support AirPrint, and a bit of info about it, is on this page.
    If it doesn't support AirPrint then some printer manufactures have their own apps in the store which support some of their own printers e.g. Epson have an iPrint app, and HP and an ePrint app. There are also a number of third-party printer apps such as PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which work with some printers.

  • How to move music to correct user

    One child downloaded Dad's CD's into child's user. Child later received his own mini. Have a total of 5 users and 3 have ipods so far.
    Is it advisable to have separate libraries or to share music, or to create different playlists?
    Advise appreciated in advance - am mom with no ipod whom everyone looks to to solve issue!

    Hello,
    I've gone over this page several times - It doesn't
    indicate how to move music to another user. For
    instance, would I copy the itunes folder to the
    rightful user, or would I click File and Add a Folder
    to the rightful user?
    THANKS!
    Doesn't really make any difference. If the user has access to the files where they are, then you can just add them to iTunes. If not, you can copy them to that user or give him access.
    Simplest way is to just put all the files in one location on the computer where everybody will have access to them. Saves space and such. Then change each user's iTunes "Library Location" so that when they rip CD's, the music is put in that single location.
    Every user has his own "library", but the library is more like a link to the files, not the files themselves. Follow me?
