IPad capacity drop from iOS 7 to iOS 8

Hi,
I updated from iOS 7.1.2 to iOS 8 this evening on my wi-fi only 16GB iPad mini w/ retina display (model ME279LL/A). I noticed after the update that the available space on my iPad had dropped about 600MB. After connecting to iTunes further noticed that the capacity of my iPad dropped from 12.80GB to 11.74GB. What happened that I lost over 1GB of capacity?
I restored the iPad and recovered from my backup. Not sure what else could be causing this issue. 4.26GB seems like a lot of space to lose to formatting and whatnot.
Thanks!

From what I've been hearing, iOS 8 itself takes up about 4.5 GB of space. Apple of course figures you won't need space anymore since you'll just store everything in the cloud now... lol.

IPad software update from iOS 5 to iOS 7

Hi all I am trying to update my iPad software from iOS 5.1 to iOS 6 or 7 but every time I go to software update keep telling me device is up to date. And I cannot install app because all the new apps asking me to update to iOS 7 so I could download them

If iOS 5.1.1 is up to date then you have a 1st generation iPad and cannot update further. For your app problem, see:

Trying to update ipad 3rd gen from ios 6.1.3 to 7.0.4

Under General - Software Update it shows one update to ios 7.0.4 (from 6.1.3) but it says it can't verify the update because I'm not connected to the internet but my wifi connection is good. I have Comcast wifi set up and can access the web. Any ideas on how to proceed? Thanks

Check this first, settings>General>date & time>set automatically>on. Make sure the time zone setting is also correct.
If you still can't update or get the message about not being connected to the internet, restart the iPad first and try again. If that fails, reset the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.

Should I upgrade iPad (1st Gen) from iOS 4.2.1 to iOs 5.1.1?

I am using iPad (Wi-Fi only) from last 2 years mainly for web surfing and emails. iOS 5 is sure slick and tempting. Should I upgrade or not? I dont want iPad to get sluggish after update, in that way I am better off with iOS 4.2.1 running smoothly on it. Help pls.!

I dunno sabatoge.
It seems like it would be nice to have ipade 1st gen to get 6.0
But it would certainly help safari from crashing.     Still.
I wouldn't,t say that 5.1.1 is the LAST UPGRADE.          Apple might still do something.

I can't upgrade my iPad 2 software from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.1

Hi I wonder if anyone of you could help. I have an iPad 2 running iOS 5.0.1 and can't upgrade to iOS 5.1. The problem I am having is when I check for an update on my iPad it takes ages and then I get a message saying that it was unable to check for an update. Then when I tried to update it via my Mac its cant get passed the "contacting the iPad software update server..." had this message for half an hour now. I am assuming that apples servers are really full with everybody trying to update their iOS device. Is this the logical expenation and is anyone else having simular issues?
Thank You,
Richard Bray

After a few tries on Thursday, March 8, I was able to update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 using iTunes on my PC. However, when I next tried to update my iPad, I had the same error response about not being able to contact the update server.
After disconnecting all my USB devices and rebooting the PC several times, I gave up. Tried again on Saturday, March 10, and was finally able connect after several more unsuccessful attempts. Don't know if it was really necessary, but after I turned off both my Norton Smart Firewall and Anti-Virus Autoprotect, I finally got a connection.
I remember having similar hassles downloading iCloud and getting it working with the Apple mail servers.
I wish Apple could communicate better when the servers are jammed. The web page I was sent to when I clicked "More Information" in the window notifying me that the server connection failed, doesn't mention the possibility that the servers are jammed and we should just wait a few days and try again.

I've upgraded from iOS 6 to 7.0.3 and I know that i entered the corrct passcode but my iPad 4 wont accept it. How do I reset the passcode?

I can't get into my iPad since upgrading from iOS 6 to 7.0.3
I know that I've entered the correct passcode, and iOS 7 validates it as it installs, but now I'm locked out, but wasn't intially.
How do I gain acces again? I've tethered it to iTunes but can't see anything to help.
Help please.

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Since you have IOS-7, read this.

My 2 gen iPad keeps dropping my AirPlay connection with my 2 gen Apple TV. I just updated to iOS 8.1. Before the worked flawlessly. I love AirPlay. Also my iPhone 5s has the exact same issues with 8.1.

My 02 gen iPad keeps dropping the AirPlay connection after several minutes of play. This happened after updating to iOS 8.1. This worked perfectly on my 2 gen Apple TV before the update. It is also doing the same thing on my iPhone 5s. I use AirPlay all the time. Please help.

Greetings rdobbins01,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that AirPlay is not working as you would expect on either your iPhone or iPad. In this situation, I would suggest reading over and working through the information located in the attached article to help resolve this issue.

The iPad 1 can't run the newer operating systems. It'd be like trying to play a bluray disc in your 6 year old dvd player....it simply lacks the hardware to make the software run.
No suggestion about the camera, but given that Apple's attitude seems to be to focus more on the more mobile devices for photography (the iPhone and Touch cameras got features, the iPad and mini didn't), that is highly unlikely. You can tell Apple what you want, but you'd probably be money ahead to get a digital camera.
as to the photos, anything put on via iTunes has to come off via iTunes.Your main alternative would be to look for photo apps that offer file exchange that may give you more functionality.

Will Genius Bar be able to reset my ipad 2 back to ios 4 from 5.1.1 update?

Hi,
I just updated my ipad 2 last week to ios 5.1.1 from the original firmware on my ipad 2. Now having wifi connection that is intermittent. I am able to connect to my wifi and it shows a strong signal, but will stall every few min or in apps that require internet (Netflix, Facetime, etc.)
My wifi was great before the update. Is there anyway to go back to ios 4. I am not very handy with computers (I am a grandmother) but is there an easy way to go back to ios 4 or will the apple store be able to do it for me. I tried resetting my ipad, but it justs erases all my data and still leaves me with ios 5.1.1
I have been googling this issue and am just finding out now that this update to 5.1.1 was a bad idea. I saw on the other forums some of the suggestions about turning off and on router and resetting network settings on ipad. I have done all this and its still not working the way it did before the update. I am just realizing that this issue has been going on for other people for the past two months. If it helps, I am using an Actiontec router (verizon fios) with an N repeater with WPA security.
If anyone has any suggestions or links, i would be very grateful
Thanks

You cannot go back to an earlier version of iOS.
If you are having Wi-Fi problems I suggest going to some location that offered free Wi-Fi. Your library or a Starbucks perhaps. Does your iPad connect there and work well?
If your iPad works well there you can eliminate the iPad and it's iOS as the cause of your problem.
If your iPad still acts up when connecting to the other Wi-Fi sources I'd suggest a visit to an Apple store to help discover the problem. Be sure to make an appointment prior to going to the Apple store.

Your iPhone's iOS must be same or newer than the one in backups. In your case it is older so you need to update your iPhone and then recover it with backup.
