New Retina 32 GB iPad states total capacity at only 3 GB!

I have a brand new Retina 32GB iPad that I purchased at my local Apple Store this afternoon. I set it up in iTunes and when I tried to sync iTunes told me there was not enough space. I explored in the iPad settings and found that the listed capacity is only 3.0 GB with 1.9 GB available.
Am I missing something? Did I set up something incorrectly? This is my first iPad so I'm a little confused!

You should have about 28GB available space on your new iPad.
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

I have 16GB Ipad and its capacity is only 13.8GB?

I have 16GB Ipad and its capacity is only 13.8GB?

Buy a 4 gig flash drive and you'll find that the actual storage is like 3.7 gig. that's part of the issue, the way computer memory is measured and rounding (it's the same with everything)
And then like the other said, the operating system of the ipad takes up more space. I think my 32 gig Touch really has 27 gig and change in free space

Will the mini iPad Logitech keyboard fit the new retinal display mini iPad?

Will the new mini iPad fit the original mini iPad keyboard cover by Logitech.

There's a fraction of a millimeter between them. So if the case is hard molded plastic, probably not. But if it's a more forgiving case, like a leather slip in case or the such, you should be ok.

IPad and iTunes Capacity Issue/Application Install Issue

I've just spent the past hour trying to figure out why iTunes 10 is reporting I have 17.9GB of video although the iPad itself is saying I have 0 videos.
I am not syncing any music videos, movies, TV shows, Podcasts or content from iTunes U.
The iPad Free Space indicator is reporting I have 8.9GB avail, but counting video as using 17.9GB of my iPad's total capacity.
Anyone else?
I'm also trying to add Photogene to my iPad via iTunes and keep getting an error message indicating I need a newer version of iPad software to install, although I do have the most recent version. Seems like iTunes 10 issues.

There seems to be some reports that iTunes is reporting the wrong numbers for the free space, thought that's not happening to me (as best as I can tell) on my iPhone and iPad.
As for Photogene, my guess is that you're trying to install the iPhone version on your iPad. The iPhone version only works on iOS 4.0, so can't be installed on the iPad. There is an iPad version, but you have to buy it separately.

Total capacity 128 MB

I have an old laptop Pavilion N5440 that runs really well, in the system information it says the Total capacity for RAM memory is 128 MB which I have, I am trying to install my virus application but an error states that it needs 128 MB of Ram to install. Can I install 256 MB of ram if the total capacity is only 128 MB, if it has 128 MB why can't I install the virus app. This computer originally had Window ME and was upgraded to XP years ago.

Crucial says your notebook can run as much as 512 mb of RAM, and they guarantee compatibilty.My go-to source always for hard to find memory upgrades. XP will also thank you for more ram I bet.

You can only do it with IMAP email account; to do this:
1. Go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your Inbox, Trash folder and Sent folder are.
2. Tap the Edit button
3. Tap Add Mailbox (bottom)
Note: If there is no Edit button, your email account is not a IMAP account

What is going to stop my "other" capacity increasing every time i sync new videos to my ipad 2?

I have read several posts all indicating there is a big problem with syncing and "other" capacity increasing.
Everytime i change my video content (every few days) my "other" storage volume increases and total capacity decreases in line with the videos i've removed from the ipad. having done 2 or 3 syncs my other volume is up to 16gb. i am aware that performing a restore will fix this temporarily but i am not going to restore 64 gb of data every 2 or 3 syncs.
what is the proper and actual solution to this problem? (i.e. not restoring constantly)

Email issue with new Retina Ipad Mini

I can receive email but can not send. I have 2 Ipads. Both have the same mail settings. The new Retina Ipad wont send email. I keep getting the message
CANNOT SEND MAIL. THE USER NAME OR PASSWORD FOR SMTP:******@[email protected] is incorrect. I have checked and they are the same and
correct. I have removed and rebuilt the email account but still doesn't work.

Probably. Call the store and confirm that they will have a stock and when they open, etc.

I can't update or install new application on my iPad 2, please what can I do to solve this problem

I Can't update or install new application on my iPad 2 with retina displa running on iOS 8.1.2.
when I wanted to update, it was rolling for so many days and nothing happen. I don't know what to do.

Hello, DGVLIMITED.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need clarification on what exact issue you are experiencing and any errors when attempting to update applications to provide a better answer. However, try updating applications individually. This could be a capacity limitation when updating all at once. Also, try restarting the device. If these steps do not resolve the issue, try the remaining steps in the article below.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clickingCheck for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

Can I create separate folders to save media on my Airport Time Capsule? Issue is I have a 256GB HDD Mac Pro Retina which is almost full. TC will only take backup of my HDD. So where would I save my photos and videos from my iPhone and iPad?

It is a hard one.. laptops with small drives are a pain.
What you need is a home media server.
Some people use a PC running itunes for cost.. but that is nothing like as good as using a Mac mini.. they make great little HTPC device.. you can plug in large hard disks and store all your files and media. And share it with the network.. Read up apple's instructions on home sharing.
https://www.apple.com/au/support/homesharing/
For cost you can buy a mini from 2011 or 2012.. I would not recommend earlier ones.. the advantage of 2012 is they have USB3 ports. But you will pay more for them.. new mini is not as useful.. they have soldered in memory and you cannot upgrade.. the old mini was the most easily modified mac in the whole range. Uses little power and can be bought for a $300US for a good one second hand.. maybe less.

Is there a neat way (or hardware solution) that will allow me to stream a DVD onto my new Retina display Macbook Pro?

am going to update my Macbook Pro for the new Retina model but the one thing I will miss is a DVD drive. I've ordered a Superdrive BUT my dilema is this...
Often my wife will be watching some dull reality show (Strictly Come Dancing or X Factor) and I would usually get my laptop, headphones and grab a DVD Box set (The Wire, Sopranos etc).
I could sit and watch happily (and eisily go back to wherever point I last stopped watching)
With the new Macbook I'm looking for the same easy solution. I don't want to sit with the superdrive on my lap, guess I can spend some time with Handbrake and rip all the DVD's to my new laptop (or a wireless storage device like this:http://www.seagate.com/external-hard-drives/portable-hard-drives/wireless/seagat e-satellite/
But this would be timeconsuming and I'm not sure if the ease of playback would be as good.
What I would really like is a DVD player that can just stream my DVD wirelessly to the laptop and I can control with the DVD player controls.
Does such a thing exist or can somebody suggest any alternative ideas?
Just to add, the main reason I chose this is that I often travel and the lighter, thinner design really appealed to me. I had considered a Mac Air in the past but it didn't have enough capacity or screen size for me when it was originally released.
I guess I will still have to transfer some DVD's anyway to be able to watch whilst travelling.

there is one actually use application called air playit, this is application has two parts the first one is the server part to install on any machine its available on Mac and windows you can configure it to stream from anything on the machine, the second part is the client you can install it on any IOS or android, the good thing about this application is you can use local network connection or Internet connection even you are outside still you can stream it

Migration from non-Firewire MacBook to new Retina MacBook

I have just purchased a new Retina MacBook. My current MacBook is the 2008 model without a Firewire port. Since the old MacBook does not have Firewire or Thunderbolt, and the new MacBook does not have Ethernet, I am left with Wi-Fi as the migration alternative. I suspect that this will be a VERY slow procedure.
I do have an external USB 2 hard drive with a full bootable backup. My question is: Can I connect this hard drive via USB to the new MacBook and migrate the files? If so, would this be faster than using Wi-Fi?
Thanks for any advice.

Just to add a bit about my experiences with the transfer. It did finally work, but it wasn't easy!
When I finally got the cable (after Fedex lost it for 3 days), the instructions on the Apple site were totally inadequate. They didn't explain that you should turn off wi-fi on the computers, or how to set them up for Ethernet transfer on the Network screen, then get them back on wi-fi when you were done. This was not as easy as it should have been -- or at least not for me!
I finally got the two connected properly and then realized (this was admittedly my fault) that I had not upgraded the Migration Assistant on the old computer. So I had to go back and start from zero again.
I also could not get the window to open to give me a choice of which sub-folders to transfer. So I ended up transferring everything. Not a major issue, but just more time consuming.
However, once finished, everything was pretty much where it belonged, and all my apps were fine. The only one that gave me any problem was Dreamweaver. The transfer did not move DWs configuration files, but I was able to fix that by copying that Configuration folder over to the new computer via wi-fi.
By the way, those instructions that Ogelthorpe linked to, even though they say they are for 10.6, are more complete and explicit than the ones on the Apple site specifically for Mavericks. So thanks very much for the help!

Why does the web look TERRIBLE on my new Retina display?

The new retina display is fantastic, but browsing the web looks horrible. Can anything be done to improve the web browsing experience?

Most websites are designed to look good on low end computers, typically with a resolution of around 1024x768.
Our retina macbooks have such a high resolution display that they basically show the flaws you would not normally see on a low resolution display.Text that is rendered using the mac os system fonts should look beautiful, but low resolution pictures and non-native text will look terrible on any website or application.
There is no real fix for this issue, other than hoping the web in general starts moving to higher resoltuion content in the future. The same problem exists with the retina iPad, and in my opinion, things look even worse on the ipad since you tend to be zoomed in further while browsing the web.

If you haven't changed your sync preferences, meaning that you are not trying to add more content from the last time that you synced with iTunes, try quitting iTunes, restart your computer and then try again.
If you are trying to add more content to the iPad than what you had before, you can only use so much of the available storage capacity that is left on the device. You probably need to leave about 10% of the space free so if you have a 16GB iPad, you might not have enough space left to sync that content that you are trying to sync.
