IPad Air usage shows less than 16GB

Hi,
my iPad air is the 16GB version. Although when I look in general > about > capacity > 12.8GB
when I check usage, I see 4.0GB Free 8.8 used.
question, where has the other 3.2 GB gone?

Your dog ate it.
Advertised storage space is computed in decimal. In reality, a 16GB storage space is approximately 14.9GB (if I do my math correctly). Your iOS operating system uses some of that space so you're left with 12.8GB remaining space (8.8GB is used by installed apps, music, video etc).

I think you should review what you wrote. There is no question, hence, my reply. I can't tell by the AM listing what applications are using memory. You need to click on the Real Mem column once or twice to display in descending order.
Aside from what you see in AM, what exactly is your problem or perceived problem. You are very low on Free Mem at the moment the screen shot was taken. Those displays are not depicting your computer's instantaneous memory usage.

Memory Usage Performance Guidelines- About the Virtual Memory System
Understanding top output in the Terminal
The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently. It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster. What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent. It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

Hi CPI Pierre,
You can determine what is using the memory in your iPad Air by looking at Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage.
If you are having issues with insufficient memory you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.

EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9. This issue occurs for some users only.I tried the same url in google chrome and is working fine.
Can you please help.
Please find the attached screenshot.

Hi BJ1986,
According to your description, I think this issue is caused by the IE browser that runs the report. To trouble shoot this issue, I suggest that we can try to clear internet temporary files, cookies and others in IE browser. And also add this site
as a trusted site in IE browser to check this issue again.
If this issue is still existed, it can also be occurred due to the setting or third party add-ons of Internet Explorer (IE). In this scenario, you can try to run IE in compatibility mode to check the issue again. Or I suggest that you can refer to the
steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
Click Tools -> Internet options.
Switch to the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then select Default level.
Switch to the Advanced tab, and click Restore advanced settings.
Temporarily disable third party add-ons. For detailed steps, please see the link below:

Hope this helps.

HT1848 On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc?

I am about to scream if I don't figure this out or just decide to leave Apple and get a Galaxy phone. On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc? I have read many forums and tried many things, but apple/iTunes is not intuitive at least not on a PC. When I go to devices it won't let me select "transfer music". It's grayed out. Why is this and what can I do? I'd like to delete some of the music off of my iPhone but don't want it gone forever. Pleae help.

Thanks Turingtest2,
I appreciate your response. I have done all of the things mentioned, but still when I click on "devices", the "transfer music" option is still not selectable. I see it, but can't select it. I am running Windows 7 on my PC.
However, one thing I read makes me take pause. At one point I did erase my computer back to factory settings using the mirrored image. We backed up all information and put the important stuff back on, but I don't believe we did anything with iTunes, so it's a possibility that the music that is in my library now, may only be music I have purchased since then. But, (thinking out loud) that was a while ago and I am pretty sure I have purchased more music than what is in my iTunes library, since then. Maybe I will approach it from that angle and see what happens.
It just doesn't make any logical sense that syncing goes from computer to device. Ostensibly then, my iPhone would only have the music that is on my computer after syncing and that is not the case. I still have all my music on my phone. I can see the new music that's on my phone get added to my iTunes library when I connect, which would make one think that syncing occurs both ways. I don't know. It's maddening. Maybe I should just follow my husbands advice and go to an Android. LOL. Or maybe I will take my laptop and phone to the Apple store and make them figure it out. Ha.
If you have any thoughts about this, let me know. Thanks again.

HT5527 Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go... I don't understand!

Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go...
I don't understand!
These information are contradctory. Now my account is locked.
What Am I supposed to do???
thanks for your help!

Well as far as I can tell the only developed alternative to Apple is Microsoft, sure you want to go there?
iCloud (and Mobile Me before it) are consumer level systems, working correctly they are a poor choice for business use, if you want to stay all Mac try Zimbra if you can let a little Microsoft in the mix use Microsoft Exchange (Mail, iCal & Address Book are compatible as clients), hosted Exchange systems cost about $10 per month.
Or try to fix what is wrong with your installation (which is clearly not running as it should)

HT201272 Can't get movie rental from iPad air to show up on iPhone 4S?

How do you get a movie rental on iPad air to show up on iPhone 4S so we can watch??

You can't, rentals are one-time only downloads, and from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

How I transfer my contact names from my Iphone 4S to my Ipad Air ( only showing phone numbers but no names )

How I transfer my contact names from my Iphone 4S to my Ipad Air ( only showing phone numbers but no names ) If I receive a message in my Ipad Air, just the phone number is available, I want to find out if possible to get the name of the contact also ?

User disk space available showing less than actually available on drive

Can anyone tell me why the space available to a user would be different, less than, that on the drive?
My user home folder is showing only 72Gb available, while I've actually still got some 350Gb available on the drive, which I can see in the finder by clicking on the drive. I certainly haven't manually given myself a quota or anything.
I am using encryption, file vault. And I'm using time machine.

FileVault only encrypts the Home folder. It does so by creating a sparsebundle type of disc image file. Any space available information you see is related to the sparsebundle. As your Home folder expands in space usage so will the sparsebundle. However, if you remove files from the Home folder the sparsebundle will not shrink.

GR qty showing less than production order confirmation qty

Hello Experts,
Greetings.
My issue is while doing production order confirmation(CO12),for some materials it shows less GR quantity than the confirmation qty.I m wondering how it can be possible?
What could be the problem?
Plz advice.
Thanks
Nitin

Confirmed qty of each operation and delivery qty at the header are two different fields. Confirmed qty will be the same with the yield to conf. during confirmation. Whereas, the GR qty is equal to the total sum of quantity received from the order.
Check whether during confirmation you create auto GR or not. If yes, then check the COGI t-code. There might be some error log of goods receipt in there. If no, then check GR qty in document goods movement compared to confirmed qty during confirmation.
Hope it helps.

Unable to create the Variable icon which shows Less than or equal to

Hi Experts,
when we create a variable normally will get a icon of the variable which say equal to symbol on the varaible icon. Hope everybody know that.
Now how can we change that variable icon to less than or equal.
Please can you provide me that information.
Thanks alot !

hi,
when you are trying to restrict the char select range values instead of variable.
then select the operator type (less than, greate than etc) and in place of value select variable and then give the variable name.
regards,
Arvind.

IPad Air is shipped later than announcement on the Apple Store Website (more than 24 hrs) and there is effect my holiday plan

I plan to go to my native place on 10/04/2014 and I would like to buy the iPad Air for my mother.
I accessed to Apple Store Thailand and found that there are announce on the website as "Shipping within 24 hrs".
So I decided to place the order for iPad Air on 2/04/2014 at the night (Thailand Time)
after all process was completed there are mentioned the Delivery Date is 10/04/2014
but in the today evening 4/04/2014 the process is just changed from "Preparing for shipment" to "Shipped"
and the Delivery Date is postponed from 10/04/2014 to 11/04/2014.
So the main point is I am plainning to take the iPad Air to my mother and I will leave from the place that I mentioned for deliver the iPad Air.
How can I do for received your product before 11/04/2014?

This is a user-to-user forum for technical support. There isn't anything anyone here can tell you about your shipment, or anything we can do to resolve this for you.
you should contact the Apple Online store (see the lower right of the store page for the phone number).
