My ipad says storage full what do l do after accessing settings

My ipad says storage almost full what do l do after going to settings?

Hello  Viv Holt100,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I am glad to help you.
What to do if your storage is almost full:
Method 1:
Go to settings>General>Usage>Show all apps. Now you can see all the apps that hog up your space. To delete apps for there, click the app you want to delete, and click "Delete app"
Method 2:
Delete unnecessary photos. These always mud up my space. And I have a lot of useless photos. If you have a lot of photos, do a cleanup and lookmaround and start deleting some. This indeed gives me space, as I only have 16GB and your iPad loses 4 GB automatically. So technically it is 12... Thanks Apple...
Those are some helpful tips for you to use. Hope I helped!
Regards,
Ab

  • Why 5s keeps saying storage full when i have nothing on my phone

    my phone keeps saying storage full with only MB left when i should have at least 6 GB free.  I have no music and 1 GB of pictures.  This problem happened before and the next day it was back to saying 6.something GB free. And nothing has changed since then.  Why is apple software getting worse?

    hey guys,
    i appreciate the responses.
    i did all that.  nothing is taking up my capacity.  I have already deleted all my music, i have 1 gb of photos, and only a few random apps, nothing totaling close to my phones capacity.  this has happened twice before where the memory slowly decreases and i get the message of full storage. Then 2 days later its back up to 7 or 8 gb.  Yesterday it was at 535 mb, and then last night it went back up to 6 gb. and as i type this its at 4.5 gb with no change in apps or photos or music.  I have the latest update and other than that my phone is working properly. im assuming its just another software bug, but if anyone has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again

  • IPad says" no sim" what does that mean? How can I fix this?

    My iPad says" no sim" how do I fix this?

    Or if that does not help go into settings and check if you have it turned on and not just set  to Wi Fi only , but I don't think it would be saying no sim in that case.

    You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
    There are some important things that you should know before you update and you can read bout those here.

  • IPhone 5S says storage full - but it isn't?!

    I've got an iPhone 5S, approximately 8 months old. For a while, it's been coming up with a notification to say the storage is almost full. I've gone into General > Usage to see what my apps are using altogether, but as far as I can see the apps I've got do not add up to the 12GB memory which my phone should have?!
    Has anybody else been experiencing this problem? Alongside the storage issue, when I try to open an app (for example, Whatsapp) it opens yet immediately closes. Something's not right - can anybody help?!

    far as I can see the apps I've got do not add up to the 12GB memory which my phone should have?!
    Exactly, how much do they add up to?

  • Why does my ipad says its full charged and its at 1% and it doesn't change?

    Like I plug my ipad and it appears the full charged icon when its at 1% and it doesn't change if I unplug it. But when it's plug it doesn't turn off.

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • My 16gb Iphone 4 says my storage is full and wont let me download apps etc, but I only have 6 apps, 108 pictures, and 30 songs because I deleted everything due to it, but it still says storage full?

    i've literally tried everything, I would restart it but I have valuble pictures and i can't do a backup because the same problem will happen.

    HI Shelby,
    It sounds like your available free space is not reporting properly. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting 
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.

    Hello,
    You'll need to install Flash Player 10.3.183.90, the last version supported for OS X 10.5.8. Download the archive zip file, http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive.z ip, and extract the contents. Then navigate inside the 10_3_r183_90 directory and use the file named flashplayer_10_3r183_90_mac_intel.dmg.

  • My ipad says I have not subscribed to Imatch after I have, and won't let me turn it on on my ipad. How do I get ipad to recognize I have purchased imatch through my pc?

    I purchased imatch on my pc in itunes, but when I try to turn it on on my ipad, it says i need to subscribe. How do I get my ipad to recognize that I have subscribed to imatch so it will let me turn it on?

    Are you signed into the same Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores that you used to purchase iTunes Match?  If not, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the correct ID.

  • After updating OS hardware, my photo and camera keeps closing and my storage has been random, keeps saying its full even I haven't I haven't downloaded any apps. Keeps freezin!!! Iphone6 16gb

    I just updated my phone last night to recent Os. Now I'm having problems with storage and camera and other apps. They won't stay open, they keep closing and keep saying storage full off and on even I never downloaded apps or used the camera... I have iphone6 16gb and also my text messaging sometimes won't delete when I want it deleted nor it sometimes will not send.

    Hi 40goingtech,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's Photos and Camera applications becoming unresponsive as well as issues with text messaging, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

  • HT204306 I tried the recovery steps and my Ipad still says disabled.  What do I do???

    I have tried the steps for "recovery" of my Ipad but it still won't work.  Ipad says "disabled".  What do I do????

    If you cannot remember the passcode for your iPad, iPod Touch, or iPhone, you will need to restore it using the computer with which it was last synced. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the computer, or restore the device from a backup.
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
