IPad 2 16gb or 64gb!? So confused...

Ok right where to start......
I purchased an Ipad 2 64gb White off of a 100% positive seller on ebay. He advertised this IPad as a 64gb one in white minor scratches and new screen. Long story short i recieved the IPad today through the post and inspected it. It indeed does have a few scratches on the rear, the screen works perfectly and on the back it says its a 64GB version. Loading up the device i find that there is only 13.8GB space avaliable......hmmmm alarm bells start to ring. I plug the Ipad into my PC........Itunes says 13.8 avaliable....hmmmmmm starting to sweat now! I open the settings in the 'About ' menu and notice that the model number is MC979LL. This Ipad was advertised as Model number MC981B/A.
Now i like to think of myself a technical minded chap but to me it seems that i have a 16GB IPad 2 with a rear case part saying its a 64gb. Could you tell me are there certain glitches with IPad and the new IOS or have i been scammed?
I hope this was posted in the correct place and if not i do apologise.
Thanks In advance
James

It sounds like you might have been scammed. Here are the model numbers for the iPad2.
Apple iPad 2 (Wi-Fi Only) 16, 32, 64 GB
The wi-fi only iPad 2 configurations are assigned model number A1395.
MC769LL/A is the original order number for the 16 GB configuration in black. The 32 GB configuration in black is assigned MC770LL/A and the 64 GB configuration in black is assigned MC916LL/A. The original 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB configurations in white are assigned MC979LL/A, MC980LL/A, and MC981LL/A, respectively. On March 7, 2012, Apple discontinued the 32 GB and 64 GB configurations and assigned new order numbers of MC954LL/A and MC989LL/A for the black and white 16 GB configurations, respectively.

Need advice! Ipad 3 16GB or 32 GB, buying in few days, super confused...

Hi guys, I would really appreciate any advice you can offer!
I just read some info that the apps optimized for the new Ipad are much bigger than the other apps so I'm really confused which one should I buy.
USAGE: I'm NOT going to use it for music (I have a nice mp3 player). May be I'll have like 1 GB of video on it at all times, but I can reduce that, it's not that important. If I watch a movie, I'll definitely delete it after that. I'm not going to shoot movies or take pictures with it as well.
I'm definitely going to install many apps(suppose 30 of the most space demaning apps for IPAD 3 in the store,I just don't know how much space would 30-40 apps really take ?), much reading material (ebooks, magazines, comics etc), going to have few games for sure (suppose I have the top 5 largest games in the app store) and going to have like 1-2 GB of pictures at all times.
So considering all these details, how much do you think that is approximately going to take? I guess I'll also need like 1-2 GB free at all times just for the sake of it and for the fast functioning of the IPAD itself.
Thank you in advance for all your answers!

I have ipad air 16gb, whilst travelling I want to download some movies so I am able to watch on my device what is the best way to do this

I have a ipad air 16gb... I have just returned from overseas and wanted to download a few movies, then I discovered I could only get 2 downloaded. So this tells me I haven't enough storage. So, my question is can I purchase more gb/storage or is there a external hard drive that can connect to ipad air.?

Use one of the cloud storage services. Either keep your media on there and copy to memory one or two at a time for off-line watching. Or watch via streaming when you can find web access.
Perhaps better is to download or rip DVD to PC, then keep the media on a separate storage drive. You can get 500 and 1000 GB external drives that connect to Ipad via their own built in wifi capability.
Or the cheaper option use a simple USB card reader (about 20$ from Amazon) and keep your media on a card. I use a 64gb SD card. Takes 30 movies in good quality resolution.

Asked for iPad Air 2 box says iPad Air no 2 64GB with wi fi cellular. is this correct?

asked for iPad Air 2 box says iPad Air no "2" 64GB with wifi cellular. Is this correct?

My iPad Air 2 WiFi 64 GB box does not say "iPad Air 2", only "iPad Air", even on the back where it lists the product. It is confusing (why Apple decided to mess with us, I don't know). And, since mine will be a Christmas gift that was shipped to me, with little time to exchange it before the holiday, a little unsettling to say the least.
Here is what an Air 2 box should look like...

How do you manage space on iPad Air 16GB using one apple ID account?

I have an iphone 5 and the new iPad Air 16GB wi-fi only that I will be using icloud to sync back and fourth to one another. First I was wondering when I go into settings, then icloud on my iphone 5, I see Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari, Notes, Passbook, Keychain, Photos, Documents and data, and find my iphone on the list. So the way I understand the whole syncing deal is you turn on whichever ones of those you want to be able to view on the iphone 5 and then you go to your ipad air and do the same thing turn on and off whatever you want to be able to view on their, and thats when your using the same apple id between both devices. My next question is that the only area that you can turn off or on what you want to be able to view on the devices? Is the the settings, icloud, is that the only place in setting you turn off and on what will sync and not sync?? So in other words the apps and games you really cant manually manage. For example if I have 5 games on my iphone 5 and only want 3 of those games to sync over to my ipad air and the other 2 not to sync over, is that possible? To me the only way to accomplish that would be to create a new apple ID account, but that would eliminate the option of being able to sync calendars, notes, reminders, etc and be able to view them on both devices which would kind of suck and defeat the purpose right? Please let me know if I am on the right page with all this and if their are any other things that I should know about in the settings menu to fully utilize the managing and syncing only this or that between the ipad air and iphone 5 using the same apple ID/icloud account information.

Thanks
Are you sure that if I use my windows log in rather than my husbands, then open itunes it won't delete all his hundreds of songs and overwrite with mine?
I want to maintain my own apple ID login and he wants his but without losing his songs.....
how do i transfer the content of my itunes including apps and songs to the new computer. There doesn't seem to be an easy explanation on here. Do I just plug my iPhone in and it will all transfer?

IPad 2 16GB iOS 5.1.1 Randomly reboots???

I just got an ipad 2 16GB, brand new I installed the IOS 5.1.1 right when I opened it up. But ever since I turned it on it is now randomly rebooting itself. For no reason, just crashes and then shows the apple sign? What should I do?

First thing I would try is to do a restart of your own, Hold the home button down and at the same time hold down the power button. Wait for the screen to go black and the Apple logo to appear and in a few minutes it should restart.
If you have already done this I would do a reload of the OS from iTunes.
If that doesn't work I would take it to Apple and have them do a refresh of the OS or replace it if there is a hardware problem.
Good luck.

This does help me because I am pondering on wether to buy an airport extreme to solve my ipad 2 connection woes. I have an extremely old router dLink 524....but I have NEVER had any problems with it at all ever. My xbox connected great to it and netflix ran flawless through my xbox.....now I have an ipad2 and an apple tv and they are BOTH having horrible connection problems. I have read most of the forums on how to fix it by changing the settings on my router but since mine is so old I couldn't do some of the suggested solutions. So here I am debating on whether to spend all this $ on an airport extreme? I am just hoping that if I go and purchase this, my connectivity issues problems will go away like yours did. Just wondering if you have ATV as well and if the AE solved its problems? I have read about AE solving ipad2 wifi problems, I'm just hoping it will solve my ATV as well.

Hi my ipad 3 16gb with iso7 turns of then straight back on can anyone help please

Hi my ipad 3 16gb with iso7 turns of then straight back on can anyone help please

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
