My daughter uses her iPad for school. Last year she had two textbooks on it. We deleted them, but now it says she doesn't have enough data to even load one. How do you release space?

I need to release space on an iPad so we can download some ibook textbooks.

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.

I have an ipad and iphone sharing icloud. The ipad is using 268mb, the iphone 2.6. My plan is 5gb but it keeps saying I don't have enough space to back them up. How is this possible?

Hey sameyrs2,
Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are getting a message when trying to backup to iCloud. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

Trying to download the new Black Ops app and when downloading it says I don't have enough storage space. I made sure I had 1.31 GB of space(like it requires)but it still says I don't have enough space. I even tried to delete more 2.5 GB (I have iPhone 4S)

I was trying to download the new Black Ops (Strike Team) app and when I try to download it, it says I don't have enough storage space. I made sure I had 1.31 GB of space (like it requires) but it still says I don't have enough space. I even tried to delete more 2.5 GB (I have the iPhone 4S) and the app specifically says that is is compatable with iPhone 4S. I even tried rebooting the phone a couple times before downloading, but it still says the same thing.

The app you are trying to download my be a zipped file and more space than 1.3GB. go to settings/general/usage and delete what you no longer want to make more space

HT4972 Did I just lose everything on my IPAD for the last year because it said to update it, not giving an option to back it up first? Its updating with ITunes now but under the RESTORE option. There was no way out of this.

My IPAD2 had a pop up message that an update is available, to close or click on details, so I clicked on details. It took me to an upgrade box, no back up options. I clicked to upgrade it. It downloaded for awhile, then turned off, and when it turned back on, it directed me to plug into my ITUNES with the USB adapter, which I did. When ITunes came up, it said I had to restore it before I could use ITUnes. Again, no other options. I am worried that I just lost everything on my IPAD2 for the last year, apps, photos, documents, settings, email, etc. It is still downloading after 30 minutes. Is everything gone and truly back to factory settings? If so there was no warning for this at all, I'll never get everything back.

I'm not sure what happned either but If you are doing this via iTunes, iTunes should have backed up the iPad first. It can take a good bit of time when you update with iTunes on your computer because iTunes downloads and installs the entire iOS all over again. If you are running iOS 5 on the iPad, and you will be now, you can update OTA via WiFi in the future and the process takes far less time since you will only be downloading an incremental update.
If you are syncing on a regular basis with iTunes, you should have a recent backup. In the worst case scenario, you should be able to restore from the backup. And as stated aboce, you can download all apps again and virtually all purchased content from iTunes (if you live in the U.S.) and you can always sync your iTunes library back to the iPad.
Let the update finish and see where you are then. Come back if you need help.

In Photos, Why Cant this be simple,but how do I Export a organized backup for my photos to a external hard drive. I tried exporting them, but now I have to go through thousands of pics

Ok, I need to reboot my Mac, want to back up my photos to a external drive in new Photos. I tried exporting them, but its thousands of pics that I have to go through. Want them to be in specific folders. Very time consuming. Do I try making albums ? is there a software?

You can go about this in two ways:s
1 - copy the Photos Library to an external HD that is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) or use Time Machine or one of the backup apps that Larry mentioned.
2 - Click on the All Photos album in the sidebar, select all of the photos by typing Command+A and exporting the to the EHD using the File ➙ Export Unmodified Original... menu option with the following settings:
This will give you a folder for each Moment (like iPhoto's Events) with the name of the Moment as a folder title which will be the date of that Moment:
The first method as described buy Larry is the better one as it will keep your organizational efforts, keywords, titles, projects, etc., intact.

Can I obtain a list of all syncs of my iPad for the last year?

i am looking for a report that shows the date/times that i synced my iPad with my account.

Even if you had a list of when your device was synced, it would still be hard to prove a specific file wasn't synced. Perhaps you need to resolve this issue in a less technological way. Best of luck.

I have 40 empty folders in my mailbox on ipad 3. They are shown on the left hand side of my mailbox screen.I have tried to delete them but they keep re appearing should they be there or can anyone tell me how to delete them. .

I have 40 empty folders which have appeared in my mailbox. I have tried to delete them using the edit button but they keep coming back. I have done a factory reset to start my ipad as new but this has not removed them. They have now appeared on my wifes ipad air. Can anyone help please.

Hi Go to Settings Email Accounts Delete Accounts Then add them back again. If that doesn't work Do a Factory Restore. Cheers Brian

My ipad has deleted hundreds of photos and now says it doesn't have enough memory to take any more photos.

My ipad 2 has deleted hundreds of photos and now says there is not enough memory to take any more photos! Help!

Used MacKeeper to get rid of junk files.
There is your problem.
Why on Earth did you install MacKeeper??? Get rid of it and do NOT use zeobit's uninstaller. It will make things worse.
Do NOT install anti-virus software on Macs.

That is just one horror story about MacKeeper. There are many others right here on Apple Support. Search for "uninstall MacKeeper".

My iPad says it doesn't have enough storage for a software update?

The update takes one gig, but I need 6GB of storage?

That's correct, after the update is downloaded and installed, it will only take up 1GB. But in order to download over the air, you need the 6.2 that it says. If you use iTunes, you will need far less free space to update.
This explains it pretty well.

I have had to restore me PC to factory settings and now itunes says I am connected to another PC not the case . How do I get my music back

I have been having problems connecting to the internet, so I tried restoring to an earlier date with no luck, so I have had to restore my PC back to factory setting. When I log on to my iTunes library it says I am already connect to another PC. I have lost all my music and photos. I have them on my ipad but I don't want to sync it with my new account as this will take all my information of my iPad. Anyone know how to get my origianl iTunes back.

I did back up my computer and then put everything back on ( or so I thought) but it did not work properly ( I don't know why) maybe I hit the wrong button, but know on my back up for iTunes it is the one I have on my computer now without all my music and photos. Guess I'll just have to start again, I did manage to work out how to get any purchases I got from iTunes. So it's just all my own music bit of a bummer really but still you live and learn, so I'm told.
Thanks for the help thought much appreciated.

My dad clicked something in his email and now all his old emails are coming into the inbox.I deleted them but they keep coming back. Does anyone know what he did wrong and how to fix it? thanks!

My iPod touch doesn't have the apple store app anywhere. How do I install it on my iPod touch?

I think it's a 3rd generation iPod touch. I am trying to download apps for my friend because she doesn't have any apps or games on her iPod. So I took her iPod home and tried to download apps but then I realized she doesn't have a apple App Store. So how do I install it onto her iPod.

It can't be deleted but it can be hidden by Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions.
Also, have you used the Spotlight search? Maybe yo just can't find it.

In setting up ICloud on my new Iphone 4s, I lost most of my calendar events in my Outlook 7 calendar in my Vista PC. I used to have MobileMe but in the set-up process was told to turn that off, which I did but now most of my calendar events have disappeared after syncing with ICloud. How can I get my missing calendar events back? They are still on my 3Gs Iphone which I have not yet updated to IOS5.
Thanks for any help.

Plug your phone into the wall charger for at least 30 minutes...make sure you have a sim card in the phone...then:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

Thank you for your reply. My problem is I used to be able to send video via Blackmagic. But now I can not find the Blackmagic in the menu of premier. How can I divert any bridge with thunderbird or firewall?
