I have a 16gb ipad 2 but in settings/general/storage it shows only 5gb can anyone explain why as I have very little on the ipad.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you navigate to settings > general > usage, it should show you all the apps and data on your device and how much room they are taking up.

  • Can anyone explain why I have a big chunk of memory (4.4GB) taking up space on my iPhone4?

    can anyone explain why I have a big chunk of memory (4.4GB) taking up space on my iPhone4?

    Because there is a big chunk of files in that section that take up space.  Kind of a "duh" question.
    Now if there is something specific you'd like to ask in an intelligent way, maybe reword the question or try a search.
    We simply cannot help if you cannot clearly communicate the issue.

  • HT1296 I have synced my music from my old ipad to my new ipad, but my ibooks wont sync via my computer. Can anyone help please?

    Hi - I have set up a new ipad which I bought to replace my stolen ipad. I had a number of i-books synced to my windows 7 PC Itunes, and the new ipad will only sync the music - The books were in e-pub and PDF format. My i-books has the category labels but no books, even though I can see them on my PC in itunes. Can anyone tell me how I can get them to sync onto my ipad please?
    Thanks

    You cannot transfer content between two accounts. The sooner you make the conversion, the better. Just pick the new one and start using it(buying music etc).
    *A lot of people open new accounts when their email changes or they have a new email. You can just access your apple id account and change the primary email that you use to log in along with other details.

  • I bought a second hand ipad mini and the owner forgot his apple id password i have reset the ipad but i cant deactivate it because its asking for the apple id password i have try to reset the password but its asking security questions what should i do?

    Please help? How can i activate second hand ipad if its asking the old apple id password?

    Take it back. The activation lock is an anti-theft measure and there is no way to bypass it. The seller should have wiped it clean for you and if they can't then it's a very real possibility that the device wasn't theirs to sell in the first place.
    You bought a device that can never function so get your money back.

  • Why does iTunes tell me that I have tons of memory available (30 GB) on my iPad (when I plug it in to my computer), but when I check my storage directly on the iPad (under Settings/General/Storage), I only have 3GB?

    This is driving me nuts.  I need to "rent" some flicks for a trip, but my iPad (64GB) tells me I have insufficient memory.  Checking under Settings/General/Usage, I find 3GB free.  I hook it up to my computer (iTunes) and clear out pretty much everything (audio, video, extra apps, etc) and iTunes then tells me I have 30GB available.  Yes, I hit apply and the darn thing synches just fine.  Disconnect and look back at the iPad, and viola - only 3GB available.  ARRRRGGGHHHH!

    Sounds like you should restore your iPad.  For one thing, that will bring it up to current iOS rev (6.1.2).  For another, that should clean out any junk and further make sure the two numbers you're referring to agree.
    By the way, a viola is a musical instrument in the violin family.  The word you're looking for is voila

  • I am not able to turn off voice over. I have tried to do settings - General - Accessibility - VoiceOver and then triple clicked it but the VoiceOver won't turn off. What can I do? I have even tried to reset the machine keeping the data, no use.

    A few people have reported problems with the hand gestures since IOS 8. It's not normal, I have don't have the problem on my iPad 4.  I doubt it's a major problem but if it happens regularly I'd have it checked out by the Genius bar at the Apple Store.

  • Have bought new ipad but now cannot access app store in old i pad

    My original i pad was registered to my old email address which is no longer in use.    I am now with sky and when I purchased a new ipad recently and registered my sky e mail address and inserted a new password.   I can now log onto apple.com with my laptop and my new ipad.   However when I try to update my apps or download a new app on my original i pad up pops  the box to insert my password with the old e mail address.   I have tried the old password and the new password (which will only work with my sky email).   I have read on this forum that it is possible to erase all content and settings.   If i do this will it erase the old e mail address.   I don't want to erase everything and then not be able to install any apps.

    Thanks for your reply.  I think I  created a new apple id on my new ipad.   Bear with me as I am a "silver surfer" as they say. 
    I did what you advised go to settings>store>apple id.  Signed out and created my new apple id with the new password that was created on my new ipad
    Now my apple id is my new sky email address and I can log in with these.
    But still when I try to update apps it still states my apple id as my old email address
    I dont mind if i lose everything as there is not that much to lose.   I just wanted to keep the old ipad for my grandchildren as they use a lot of the game apps but obviously not much good if I cannot download any new apps
    Also to confuse matters and to find out if it solved anything  I clicked  settings apple id  i forgot and typed in my email address they stated that an email would be sent  but nothing arrives which makes me think they are sending to my old e mail address.  
    Also when I want to download an app on my new ipad it does not prompt me to put in a password.  
    From what you say should all of my apps on my old ipad have been automatically been transferred to my new ipad - but perhaps not if the email addresses were different on each one.
    I have i haven't confused you - should i just reset - i think it would make it easier for me anyway.
    Thanks again

  • My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    My sons have shared an iPad but had just one iTunes account. How can we add a second iTunes account?

    There is no reason to add a second iTunes account to the iPad unless your sons want to use their own credit cards for purchases and somehow I don't think is the case here.
    Anyway.... Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap that ID and sign out. Then tap sign in and tap Create new Apple ID.
    If your sons sync with one iTunes library on a computer, it can get a little confusing with two IDs. If either of them has their own iPod and they have been sharing purchased content with the one Apple ID, it gets a little more complicated as well with two IDs.

  • I have dropped my ipad but it has a case on it but its just black the screen how can i fix it?

    i have dropped my ipad but it has a case on and when i pick it up i pressed the home screen and it was just black i have a password on it tho and  when i put it on charge t mak that charging noise can you help me fix it

    Did you try a reset yet?
    Reset 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    If that doesn't revive the iPad, you could try restoring the device next.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    I typically don't like to recommend something like this, but I have read on these forums where some users state that smacking the iPad on the back can jog the screen into working again. The fall seems to have caused the problem and I imagine that the logic behind this suggestion is that if the impact caused the problem, another impact could help to fix it. I m just not a big believer in smacking expensive tech devices.

  • I have purchased songs from itunes on my ipad but now they are not there anymore. How can they get them back? Dont come up in songs not on this ipad and in itunes it asks to buy again

    If you are now in the US then you can only use the US store, so you should update the address on your account
    Changing country : Change the country of your iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account.
    Had you copied the songs over to your computer's iTunes library, do they show in the Music section on it ? You can copy purchases that you still have on your iPad over to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option
