IPad mini memory

My iPad mini only has 1 GB available, with 12.8 GB capacity. I have only 4 songs,  no videos or games. I have 65 Apps and 180 photos. My iPad 2 and my iPhone 4s each have more available memory, even though they have more photos and songs. Any ideas what's using up my memory?

Settings, general, usage will give you a rundown of what app is using what space and help you decide where your issue is

    If I look at these pricing comaprisons, I really have great difficulties in understanding your pricing politics.
    The iPad Mini models above have exactly the same built technical features ... the only difference is ... the memory.
    I mean, you could also offer a built-in SD card slot, where I could at least store more of my movies, photos, music etc. for *less*.
    Right? or Wrong?

    There are some other options for additional storage for somewhat less cost. Get a wireless external hard drive that can be used with the iPad.

  • IPad mini memory usage

    Why are my photos taking up so much memory on my ipad mini when I only have 4 photos on the ipad?

    That probably is correct. Out of the box, a 16GB iPad or iPhone only has about 13 GB of available storage because of the iOS and preinstalled apps already on the device.
    take a look at this.

  • IPad mini memory (other data) problem!!

    My iPad mini 16 gb only has three apps downloaded on it, only Youtube, ibooks, and netflix. No music or videos. Recently I checked the usage and all of a sudden 1.5 gbs were being used compared to the 960 ish so mbs being used before.
    I then restored the iPad mini and then downloaded ibooks and Youtube. Then proceeded to connect to itunes to create a backup, however the other data just keeps piling up and up and I'm at 865 mb with no usage anywhere whatsoever.
    What's the problem?

    Check storage.
    Tap Settigs > General > About the scroll down to:  Available
    "only has three apps downloaded on it"
    Keep in mind, your iPad has pre installed apps such as Safari, iTunes, Photos, App Store, Calendar, Reminders, etc., which take up storage space.
    You need to free up storage space then do the backup.

  • IPad Mini memory full

    I have a 16 gb iPad mini.  I don't know why, but with a fresh install of everything, my iPad has about 8 gb of storage available.  Over the course of a couple of days, it completely fills up.  With what, I do not know.
    I use iTunes Match, so it's not music.
    I turned off 'Documents and Data' followed by a reset of the ipad, so that's not it.
    I turned off 'Mail' and 'Calendars' followed by a reset.
    I do not have any Movies.
    I have only a few photostream albums on the iPad.
    I'm estimating my Apps take up only 3 to 4 GB.
    Any ideas?  If I restore the iPad and reload everything from the iCloud backup, it shows abut 8 gb of storage available.  But 3 times in a row over the course of several days, it's filled up.

    itunes match puts the music on your ipad so it does take up space (once you download it). if you connect ipad to your computer what does the space bar say is taking the most amount of space? you only get like 13 GB of data with 16 GB ipad. restoring from icloud backup can bring a corrupt file back each time (typically lots of errors in diagnostic and usage data). restoring as new is always the best option if this is happening.

  • IPad Mini low 512MB RAM, suffer from performance?

    I recently bought an iPad Mini, nice little tablet for its size. However, I read a report on one of my favorite news about Apple products "Appletell" that the new iPad mini had a lower memory RAM(like 512MB) count than the 4th Gen iPad. I think that it's sad that Apple has it added, such a memory RAM on their new product. Does the the memory count remain an important part of performance when opening apps and playing games?
    Here is the report about the iPad Mini memory RAM capacity:

  • I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory.

    I have a new ipad mini and I want to sync with my ipad, but I don't want to sync photos or music as it takes up all my memory. How can I do this?

    I'm not understanding what you're wanting. You don't sync ipad to iPad. You can sync both devices to the same iTunes account or same computer.
    And you can choose the content on each device. I have an iPod and iPad and maintain separate content on each one.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • An app occupy the same space in the flash memory whether it is iPod Touch 5G or iPad Air / Retina iPad mini?

    For example, Real Racing 3 takes 1.5 GB in my iPod Touch 5G. But it takes the same in the iPad Air / Retina iPad mini?

    I think you didn't understand. I meant the size that takes from the flash memory. I hava an iPod Touch 5G and the app was 1.4GB the day that was release.

  • Brand new iPad mini 2 32 gig , only 22.3 GB available memory. Is this normal?

    Hi , yesterday I bought from John Lewis an iPad Mini 2 with 32 GD. 
    All I have doe with it is look at a couple of internet pages.  I was very surprised to see in the settings / general that the available space is 22.3 GB from a capacity of 27.4 GB .... how can this be ?
    The iPad came with 7.1.2 installed, and I have left that on.
    How can there only be 22.3GB available ... that would suggest someone who bought a 16 GB, would only have 6.2GB available.
    Could someone please explain ?  I get the 27.4GB capacity (I assume 4.6GB used for the OS ....  but 22.3 available ? 

    This lack of memory on a brand new device suggests that the iOS 8 update was automatically pushed to your device. This will happen if your device is connected to a valid Wi-Fi connection, is plugged in to the charger or a live PC and there is ample storage space on the device to hold the update. Apple seems to think that users want this huge update auto-pushed to them...I don't think this is the case at all.
    Check to see if the auto-pushed iOS 8 update has indeed been installed: Settings/General/Usage. Wait for the list to populate fully and check for an iOS 8 update near the top of the list (largest app are listed at the top). You can delete this update as you can with any other app from the list. Tap on it, then tap the Delete button.

  • IPad Mini Battery Life vs Memory Size

    Yes. Storage capacity has no impact on battery life.   How you use it will decide how long the battery lasts.

  • What are the best memory management actions for the ipad mini retina.

    I purchased an ipad mini retina 16 GB. I am concerned with all the capabilities of this device that 16 GB will not be sufficient· So I am asking for suggestions regarding effective memory management techniques·

    Thanks. Good common sense advice which I will apply as as much as possible·I dont plan on stroring a lot of videos but with IOS 7 apps are so good that it will be difficult to limit the numbers used. Also I will be using it for photo display but I will move photos regularly to my pc for long term storage
