Ipad shows 12.5 gb capacity and 1.0gb available but cant find that much data on ipad

i ipad shows that i have only 1 gb of storage left but i dont have very much on it as far as apps less than (2gb in total when i add them up). i do have 2 gb of movies and less than i gb of music and pictures combined.

I would suggest the following steps;
1. Back up your iPad to iTunes on your Computer.
2. Disconnect your device once done.
3. Back up to iCloud on your iPad.
4. Sign out of iCloud on your iPad, then sign back in again.
5. Reset your iPad by pressing the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds.  After a few seconds, the display will go black - keep both buttons pressed all the time though - and then the display will come back on white, with a black Apple logo.  Then let go of the buttons, and let your iPad reboot as normal, entering your passcode if used, when prompted.
6. Then reconnect to iTunes on your computer, and you should see your data has come down.
Don't worry, you won;t lose any data at all by resetting your iPad as described above.
Hope this helps.

  • I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf.  When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank.  When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content

    I have a word document that I have put hyperlinks in and turned into a pdf.  When I email and receiver opens in iPad the document is blank.  When I do a file save as pdf the document appears and the hyperlinks work but the document has much of the content turned into symbols.  What is going wrong?

    You select the printer properties and set the appropriate page size (I think there is a place to set it in PDF Maker too, but not sure). In the printer, this is equivalent to putting the proper paper in the printer.

    Upgrading the iOS "over-the-air" was introduced with iOS 5. If you are currently running an iOS version < 5.0 you can only update through iTunes. Connect your iPad to your PC or Mac. Open iTunes and click on "Check for updates"

  • I keep taking screen shots but they dont show up on my desktop and i dont know how to find them

    helppp
    i keep talking screen shots but they dont show up on my desktop and i dont know how to find them!

    I have the same problem. One of the reliable things about Apple OSX, that we could count on screenshots being simple. Then DropBox came along. I suspect DropBox is the culprit here. I don't mind, even am grateful if DB captures my captures, but who gave them permission to totally changes my whole universe!!?

  • My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there!

    My Macbook Pro's iTunes App was logged in as someone else. I logged out of that account and logged into mine, but I found that the app still shows all of the previous account's content. None of my apps, songs, or movies are there! iTunes 12.1.0.50 on OS X Yosemite version 10.10. Why is iCloud doing this, and how do I view my content again?

    MacBook Pro  / Mozilla Firefox / Netflix / Silverlight Update solved - DON'T DWNLOAD FROM NETFLIX
    I solved this problem tonight. I have a MacBook Pro with 10.5.8. I know, it's old. But I love my Netflix and I recently noticed that Firefox plays Netflix much better.  Then I suddenly got this message that I needed to download the latest Silverlight - it only takes 30 seconds! - WRONG.   However, after much searching, I finally did the steps in order and it worked.  
    This was after repeatedly downloading Silverlight from the Netflix site without success.  So here's what I did:
    1. Went to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx
    2. Followed the directions. I felt like such an idiot for not doing it right before.
    3. Go to your hard drive and search for "Silverlight" to locate ANY existing Silverlight files: .dmg, etc.
        [also check your Libary/ Internet Plug-ins, but the above search is faster]
    4. Drag it all to the trash and empty it.
    5. Go back to the Get  Silverlight page and click on the Install on that page, not the Netflix site.
    6. Note the steps for Safari or Mozilla Firefox - I wanted Firefox, so I follwed those instructions.
    7. Once it's installed, close all the browsers and Restart that bad boy. Right away.
    8. Open a browser, go to Netflix and proceed to joyfully rot your brain with Netflix content. Yay!

  • HT5622 Hello! I change my ID Apple and now when I try to make an update, Iphone show me my old ID and ask the password. Why is that? Why the phone don't see my new ID Apple?

    Hello! I change my ID Apple and now when I try to make an update, Iphone show me my old ID and ask the password. Why is that? Why the phone don't see my new ID Apple? I can not make any update because the old Apple ID don't work any more. I check and I have my new user all over in my phone. Help me please!

    All apps are tied to the Apple ID that downloaded them.
    They can not be transferred to a new Apple ID.
    You will have to use the Apple ID and password used to download them.
    If you do not wish to do so, erase them and download them under the new ID. This will wipe any data in the app and you will have to pay for them again.

  • IPhone 4S has no signal bars but shows the network carriers name and the 3G icon but just doesn't have no siganl bars

    Hi my iPhone 4S has no signal bars but shows the network carriers name and the 3G icon but just doesn't have no siganl bars but it was working fine till today then all of a sudden lost signal what do i do any help much appreciated

    I've been experiencing with the same problem lately. Have you tried getting a new sim card?
    With the new sim it seems to work well for a few days and then it goes back to the same problem. The warranty on my phone just ended about a month ago, and I've never dropped it and no water damage either. When I do a erase all and reset, it seems to work for a few days again and comes back to the same issue. I've deleted all my apps and been using the phone just as a phone and txting device. New IOS update doesn't seem to change this issue either. I've been getting by with doing a network reset and turning it off and on a few times a day.
    Anyone have any solution? Much appreciated!

    Your synced music (and audiobooks) will go into the iPad's Music app, and films and tv shows into the Videos app - on an iPad the iTunes app is just the store

    Whatever you did prior to plugging it in and answering yes to start the restore is gone forever.

  • Download pandora radio and set up account but cannot find icon to start

    Do a Spotlight search. If you see it there, then it is probably hidden. Connect to iTunes and you should find it in a hidden screen--like 10 or 11. Just drag it back to a visible screen.

  • Where in the legal terms is the field for "agree"?  Downloaded a tv she terms and conditions popped up but cannot find "agree"

    Where in the legal terms is the field for "agree"?  Downloaded a tv she terms and conditions popped up but cannot find "agree"

    Did the terms pop-up or did you click on them in downloads tab in the iTunes app ? If you clicked on it then it's just for info - your TV show should have downloaded into the Videos app.

  • How do you get the screensaver that takes your iPhoto pictures and make one big picture? Used to have it on 10.6.8 but cant find it

    Used to have it on 10.6.8 but cant find it. It took all the pics from iPhoto I think then made a pic out of them as a screen. Help?

    Ah, welcome to my world...the world of progressive vs interlaced, RGB vs YUV, compression/decompression,10 bit or 8 bit, 4:4:4 vs 4:0:1 vs 4:1:2, color space (etc, etc, etc..!)
    There's HD, DV, HDV, NTSC, PAL and more - its a place where acronyms roam free and multiply daily.
    You're in for a fascinating journey that will soon have you understanding things you never dreamt you'd need to know, then when you think you've got to grips with 'em, you'll discover you don't really know the first thing about them...!
    Fortunately you've got Bogie, Patrick, Shane, David and more to take you along for the ride.
    I will suggest (and probably be corrected) that what you're seeing is probably interlaced footage on your progressive monitor. (You mentioned you're watching the DVD on your computer.) Your TV has far fewer lines of resolution than your computer monitor, so FCP works within those constrictions. Also your TV runs at 29.97 frames a second, which is actually 60 frames a second as each frame is divided into two fields, which comb together to for one frame. These combs are very much evident when watching a DVD on a computer. Even high budget Hollywood films have this problem, especially when the camera or subject is moving. There is no way around this if you're outputting on DVD or NTSC.
    You could create an Progressive file, which won't do this on your monitor, but thats a whole other ball of wax...
    Welcome though. Its all good. (And the people on this site are very helpful, I've learnt a lot over the last 5 years by simply reading these posts.)
