IPad's real storage

Hello!
I got an iPad; in the back of it is written 32 GB.
I try to download an small size app but I could not. Why?
It was because I had no space available.
SoI went to Settings> General> Usage> Storage and I saw: 27.7 GB Used and 277 MB Available.
Well, I am a High Scholl Math teacher and I had the notion that I should have more than that; so I did the Math and founded that I am using only 14.012 GB.
The only thing that is not counted is the iOS 6 itself.
Is there anything that I am missing?

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
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, 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.

  • What's the easiest way to add storage to a mac mini. (1TB hard drive but only 32G of real storage). External device, internal or partitioning?

    What's the easiest way to add storage to a mac mini. (1TB hard drive but only 32G of real storage). External device, internal or is there some way to partition? I tried doing so but received a message that there wasn't enough free space to partition. Seems like a 1TB drive should have more storage than my Ipad

    Its worth confirming what free space you have on your drive: 
    go to:   Apple Menu > About this Mac >  More Info > Storage
    The bar chart shows how much free space there is on the drive:
    Please realise that partitioning does not create extra space so this wont help you.
    If your free space is less than 20 % you should get extra storage with an external USB or Firewire drive, any make or model will work.

    Not enough storage space. Do you backup to icloud? When you plug your ipad into charge it backs up to icloud. Your out of icloud storage. Could be the reason.
    Locked....hmm... Did you try a reboot? Hold the home and power button(same time) till the screen goes black and apple logo appears. Ignore red sliders.

    I've heard that SSD storage have lifetime issue, due to it only support number of times for write/erase.
    Will 64GB have a longer lifetime then 32 GB?
    Is 64GB Ipad using 2 32GB SSD flash storage?
    Thanks.

    That may help. The SSD will last for some years.

  • Ipad updating and storage issue

    How do I retrieve my ipad setting in storage?  I seem to have deleted it trying to update

    I suggest you try using other words to ask your question.  I've read it several times and do not understand the question.
    Are you trying to update your iPad's iOS version?  Are you trying to do this over-the-air, or using iTunes on your computer?  What type of iPad do you have (how old)?  What version of iOS is it running?  Are you using "retrieve my iPad setting in storage" to refer to some type of backup you did?  When and how did you do this backup?

  • My ipad mini icloud storage will not drop below 2.5 GB.

    My ipad mini icloud storage will not drop below 2.5 GB. I have deleted/OFFed everything. Still at 2.5?!?! I have removed and restored account. Still at 2.5. When I turn on larger apps like iMovie and garage band, it will go above 2.5, but never below. I have turned off all apps and all things like mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, safari, photo stream, and documents. Still 2.5. I also have an iPhone linked to the account it is using 911 mb's of storage,
    I will not buy more storage.
    Hopefully someone can figure this out
    Thank-you,
    Jeanmarie

    When you turn off mail, contacts, etc on your devices, that does not remove them from the icloud server; it just prevents the data from syncing to the device.  Your email, for example, remains on icloud until you delete all of it.  Same for contacts, etc.  Have you done that?

  • How do i move files from ipad to shared storage, how do i move files from ipad to shared storage

    I have run out of room on my 64GB iPad.  It contains two series of a TV program and I want to keep the episodes.  However I would like to be able to get at these episodes wherever I am located be it in Australia, Europe or the USA so would like to have them located in shared storage.  What is the best way to achieve this.  I am somewhat confused with my choices and my last update experience of losing a number of movies makes me nervous.  Any suggestions would be great.  Thanks

    All of your purchases are available free again from the stores. You can delete them and when you want to access them again just go to the store under purchased and select the ones you want. I do this all the time on my 16 gig ipad.

  • IPad Mini Stays Storage Almost Full

    My iPad mini keeps ghost filling my storage. In restarting it, my free space would come back. After it would continually do this, I restored my ipad to factory settings and reinstalled my apps. The problem has persisted. Anyone know why it would do this or how to fix the problem?

  • Sync Pictures with iPad from Network Storage

    Is it possible to sync photos from a network storage area instead of the HD?
    If so where can i set the options in iTunes so that I can sync my photos not from my Mac but from a network drive/area?
    Thanks

    Hei Alfred, I set them all up to do the same thing in settings. Ie, using the same icloud account, switching on the icloud account for photos, my photo stream is on, so is photo sharing. The imac and ipad have functioned well all the time. The iphone is newer.  I made sure that the iphone had the same settings for photos as the ipad, but no photos have ever gone automatically into icloud from the iphone. I have always had to do it manually. It is the same with my husbands phone and he has had it much longer. He isn't so computer literate, but I'm beginning to doubt myself now!

  • Ipad, router to storage.

    I am curious about something. I have a apple airport extreme router which allows you to plug in usb storage or printer. If i plug in a storage device, what program can I use to access files to that?
    example: a usb stick with word files. What could I use to grab a pages document from there and open it on my ipad?
    Havent got home to try it yet, but just curious. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    File browser.
    It's in the App Store. Lets me view and open files in pages or other apps. I have a USB hub with a hdd and USB sticks plugged into my AirPort Extreme. I can view every file on one of those or files on computers. Works awesome.
