IPad air storage question

Im buying an ipad air 16GB, and i believe that its enough space for me. I plan on using it for everything that i use my iphone for, when im at home and just relaxing. So instead of watching youtube videos, reading, or surfing instagram or tumblr on that small screen of an iphone, i can now use my ipad.
Im going to use my iphone or mp3 for music, so that isnt going to take up space on the ipad
I watch movies on my laptop that i connect to my Tv
I play games on my ps4 (ill only have a few games like flappy bird and so on, on the ipad, so that isnt a problem)
So all the GB are gonna go to apps bacically, which makes 16GB enough, right?

IPad Air Charger Question

Hello! I just bought an iPad Air and it came with a 10W Power Brick. It charges pretty slowly. From what I've read I thought they came with a 12W brick. What do I need t odo?

From the online Apple store's iPad Air item page Frequently Asked Questions section:
Which power adapter should I use to charge my iPad?
iPad Air 2 and iPad Air come with a 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad mini 3 and iPad mini 2 come with a 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad mini comes with a 5W USB Power Adapter. If you need to purchase an additional adapter, choose the 12W adapter because it can charge all iPad models.
http://store.apple.com/us/buy-ipad/ipad-air
You can choose to buy a 12 watt adapter if you want.
But as it stands, the 10 watt charger is the correct charger to be included with an iPad Air.

Am using ipad air, my question is under accessibility mute and unmute button is not working.

pls help me am using ipad air, under accesibility the mute and unmute button are not working.

Do you mean that you have Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to 'Mute', and you have the switch on the right-hand side of your iPad, above the volume control, 'on' ? WIth that 'on' notification sounds should be muted (e.g. email notifications, game sounds etc), but the you should still be able to hear the Videos and Music apps and with headphones. Is that not happening, and if not you've tried toggling the switch on the side of your iPad on/off ?

Ipad air 2 question

Why my ipad air 2 with ios 8 tak to long to change for and if i want to take back to bextbuy for a differnt tablet can i?

Hi cmp,
Welcome to the Best Buy Unboxed forums! I'm sorry for the delay in receiving your forum post. With the Memorial Day holiday we've been a little bit busy.
As far as your iPad taking a long time to charge, it depends what power adapter you use. The standard 5 watt charger that's included with your iPad Air 2 generally takes longer to charge because it pushes out less power. I'd recommend purchasing the 12W charger to get a faster charging speed: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter-white/7006915.p?id=1218821197031&skuId=70069...
Let me know if I can be of any other help!
Thanks,
Alex

IPAD Air Printer Question?

I have an iPAD Air and I received a Canon PIXMA iP100 printer for Christmas. Is there a way to make it work with the iPAD Air and how?

The Canon Pixma iP100 is not listed as an AirPrint compatible printer, but you can still maybe have a chance to print to it remotely.
First, you can use an app like Printopia as a print server running on a computer charing the printer on the local network.
Second, you can search the app store for Canon bcause they may have an app that can provide some limited printing functionality from your iPad.

IPad Mini storage question

hi
I have an iPad Mini with 12 GB storage. I keep getting a warning message about running out of space. I do a pretty good job of managing apps and data, and I couldn't believe that I had that much space taken up by either of them. So I totalled all the storage taken up by apps and files and I have just over 2 GB.
Does this mean that the iOS operating system is taking up the rest??
Is there somewhere on the Apple website we can get information on how much space the iOS takes up?
If that's the case then storage capacity is a misleading spec when buying iPads
thx
nick

I should have mentioned...that's where I always check the storage in the settings, and I can't figure out what's eating up all that storage because I've cleaned everything I can think of and can't account what's taking that much storage
are there other ways to check the storage?

Storage is at capacity on my iPad Air?

I am not techno savy!! HELP
My iPad air storage is at capacity and I want to reduce and put on iCloud? If I back it up to iCloud what do I do next?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Please try the following…
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
For messages, make sure you are using the same send and receive addresses at settings > messages.

Many questions...advice? iPad 2 == iPad Air in France

I have a 16 GB iPad 2 WiFi and am planning to buy a 32 GB iPad Air WiFi + cellular
I'm in France, but will probably be moving to the US next year.
Many questions, any answers appreciated!
-I don't have a computer...my laptop committed suicide, and I got the iPad to tide me over, and found that I really don't need anything more. Is there any problem transferring my apps and data over, or do I have to repurchase stuff? It's backed up on iCloud.
-related question...is there a good way to get music I've got on various iPods (I've got 3 of the old tiny ones) onto the iPad (again, no computer)?
-will I be able to buy an iPad Air in France and use it in the US with just an adaptor, or do I need to buy a completely different power cord?
-it looks like if I get the WiFi + cellular version in France, I need to sign a cellular contract. Does anyone know if this is actually the case, or if I can buy one contractless, use it WiFi, and worry about the cellular part later? Again, if I take it to the US, will I be able to add a US cellular contract later? Or am I stuck with whichever country I bought it in?
-is there a good way to easily trade in or sell my old iPad? French power cord, etc. Earbuds died. Has it got any value?
-if I buy a 16 GB iPad Air can I add memory later, or should I go for 32 GB right off the bat? I spent a bunch of money for extra iCloud storage, only to discover that it didn't mean I could keep more movies downloaded, and so it wasn't useful and I canceled it. Am I correct in assuming that I probably want the 32 GB this time around?
-I don't have a printer, but I'd like to get one. What I really want is cheap and nasty, good at printing black-and-white, easy set-up, no expensive supplies. Recommendations? Or what to definitely avoid?
-is there a good reason to buy from the Apple Store as opposed to a general electronics retailer?
-I currently use the SmartCase, but I'm thinking to change to a SmartCover because of the weight.
Except for not covering the back of the device, do they basically function the same?
-I don't like the available Apple case color options (they are the icky pastel colors of cheap Japanese blenders! Why?)...
Are there any cases from other manufacturers that are equally or even more functional but have other colors?
If anyone has any recommendations for indispensable accessories that you really love, please tell me!
Also, the 2 annoying points I've noticed are (1) a bunch of stuff is only available through FlashPlayer, and (2) can't attach multiple documents to emails. Are there any changes here, or am I missing an
easy workaround?
Merci beaucoup!

As long as you use the same Apple ID on both the devices you can share apps and content that's been downloaded from Apple.
If the music on your iPod came from iTunes you can redownload it. If you synced it onto your iPods as music ripped from cd's etc then I don't think you can get it off the iPod, or if you can the only way to do that is with a computer.
You will only need a plug adapter, the power brick should work on world wide power.
I don't have a cellular iPad but if you get one that's wifi only you can later look into something like a Mifi, a portable battery operated wifi hot spot.
Selling your old iPad should be relatively easy although you might need to knock off a few bucks for the french power plug. Just make sure that you erase all content and settings before you sell it so they can get int it and so that your data is removed.
THe memory isn't upgradable so buy the memory you'll need because what you buy is all you have.
Any wireless printer could work. If it's air print enabled then you're good to go. If not you can look for apps by the printer manufacturer or there are plenty of third party printer apps that enable wireless printing.
You don't have to buy from Apple. In fact, places like Best Buy offer really great accidental damage protection that can be even better than waht Apple offers. In addition, third party places may have other perks, such as free covers or gift cards towards accessories, etc. So shop around.
The only thing to remember, if you choose to buy Apple Care Plus it's best to get it when you buy your device.
As far as I know there's no huge difference between the smart case or Smart Cover. If you're shopping for cases then I'd suggest Amazon. Widest and best selection out there, and even if you don't buy from amazon, you can see who's got what.
THe accessory I can't live without is my Zagg Folio, it's a case and wireless keyboard that turns my ipad into a mini computer. A stylus can also be helpful if you find the screen hard to maneuver around but not necessary.

When I try to setup my new iPad air, I go through all the steps for the iCloud sign-in and choosing security questions and what not. But after I hit the agree to the terms and conditions... It says Apple ID could not be created because of a server error. Have no clue what to do... I've restarted the iPad and get the same message. But my internet works just fine.

1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

I have an old Ipad and an IPad Air. I used one Apple ID for both IPads. Now I wish ti split the iCloud storage and separate the two. I want to change my new IPad Air to a New Apple ID. How do I do it?

I have an old Ipad and an IPad Air. I used one Apple ID for both IPads. Now I wish to split the iCloud storage and separate the two. I want to change my new IPad Air to a New Apple ID. How do I do it?

Go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account, and enter your Apple ID password. Then sign in with the new ID.
NOTE: "Delete Account" just means it will be deleted from the iPad. The account itself will not be deleted.

I forgot my iCloud security question, also the email address I registed. How can I remove unconfirmed iCloud iD on my Ipad Air (iOS 7)?

When I first set up my grandpa new Ipad Air. I registed an iD-based his name like t•••••••••••@******but in reality such gmail did exsist and I do not know. I was confident that I remember the password so I can change the email later. But now, I forgot all the password, also the security question's answer. So, how can I remove the unconfirmed iCloud account on my device?
<Edited by Host>

Hi Noisyzbeez,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You would need to know the password to the Apple ID set up on the device to remove it from the iCloud settings. The attached article has information on resetting the password via email or security questions. If you are unable to change the password after attempting these two ways, which it sounds like you are, there is also a link towards the bottom of the article to contact Apple Support.
If you forgot your Apple ID password

ICloud Backup Issues on iPhone & iPad Air: NOT Enough Storage (5 GB)

I've been a user of the free 5 GB of storage since its inception without any problems. I was backing up data on my iPhone and 3rd gen. iPad on a regular basis and never ran into any issues.
I recently upgraded to an iPad Air and set it up using a restoration and it went off without a hitch. The very next day I started noticing these warnings that I was approaching my storage limit even though I had not really changed the amount of data on my phone or the Air. I don't download lots of apps and basically only update them when necessary. I use iTunes Match, so I stream my music from the cloud so I don't have audio files on any devices, with the exception of my iPhone for those times I don't have access to wi-fi -- and it's always been the same number of files/same size.
(The iPhone is showing 3.5 GB in use and the Air is showing 1.3 as of this post).
I do have a fair amount of photos in the iPhoto stream as I'm always snapping something, but not to the point of being obssessed. And I always am moving them into iPhoto/Aperture and deleting them frequently, so I'm not talking about thousands of photos being on either device at any time.
In other words, I'm like the average user when it comes to the amount of data on my devices -- and am not going overboard where it's at the point that I know I have to delete things to make room.
I've scrutinized the file sizes of everything I possibly can in the settings on both devices yet I'm still getting the warning that I don't have enough storage space. I find it hard to believe that something during the process of setting up the Air pushed my storage over the edge to where I actually need to purchase space because I just am not seeing any deviation from what I used to do before setting up the Air.
I deleted the 3rd gen. iPad backup as well as any other old backups from iCloud which are no longer relevant each and every single time I've upgraded any device. I don't have anyone else using these devices other than myself so no one is downloading apps, snapping pix, or doing anything which would add data. I did a quick glance at the forums to see that lots of people have this problem - so I'm wondering if it's some type of glitch?
My iPhone told me today that I had not backed up to iCloud in weeks - which I'm sure refers to the time right around I bought the Air - as I have my devices to auto backup when connected to wi-fi. The last backup according to settings was 5/6 -- while the Air was on 5/16.
This is very annoying as I don't want to have to buy the next level of storage just to rid myself of this message so I'd be interested to know what others have tried. Sure, I can just do a complete backup of all my devices to my computer -- which I do fairly regularly -- but it was always good to know that I had access to iCloud backups for those times I didn't hook things up to my MBP.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to things I can try to rid myself of this dreaded message? It pops up daily and I really would love to fix it. Thanks!

I think I figured it out. I went through my iPhone and turned off a lot of the apps that were slotted to backup and it appears to done the trick as the phone is backing up to iCloud.
The language needs to be broken down where it makes more sense of what's happening behind the scenes during these backups as I think it can be easily miscontrued that it's the data the various specific apps are using which is the issue at hand and not them apps themselves is what's causing the increase in size; some people may think that if they turn these apps off, they are deleting the apps from their devices so they leave them all switched on which ends up bumping up the size and ultimately eating up storage space.
I admit to not really paying attention to what the explanation was saying when I initially got the error message which made me initially post this. Now that I'm rationally thinking, I can see the problem of the disappearing space and am off to turn off a handful of apps on the Air to reduce the storage allotment even more

I recently purchased icloud storage for my iPad Air. I want to store photos in the cloud and learn how to retrieve them. I need help.

I recently purchased iCloud storage for my iPad Air so that I can store my photos in the cloud. I don't know how to do this. I want to be able to retrieve them as well.

Hello Janet
With that iCloud storage that you purchased, is used for mainly for iCloud Backup for your iPad Air, app data as in games and documents for like iWork and other apps that save data locally within the app. Dealing with photos in your Photo Stream they actually do not count towards that storage plan. If you don’t think that the storage is going to work for you, then cancel the upgrade you just made.
