So With All my apps i am using less than 300mb no music no videos but my iPad is saying that I have used 13.1gb how can I get that lost space?

Did you confirm this in Settings>General>Usage>Storage? You can see how much storage space each app is taking up. If that checks out with your findings, then your space is probably being taken up by "other". You can see this when you connect your iPad to your computer and with iTunes running. You can see it in the capacity bar at the bottom of the iTunes window on the right side.
"Other" contains most of the stuff associated with apps but not the apps or any media itself. Safari history and bookmarks, contacts, notes, text messages, email messages and so on. When "other" takes up that much space, something is wrong and usually restoring the iPad will clear that up.
Backup the iPad, transfer purchases, restore to factory settings, restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes to retrieve everything.

  • I have an app that's in the App Store app that I have never owned.  How can I get it to go away?  when i click on it it tells me that I never owned it and that I can't download it.  I just want it to go away.  It's also on my IPad

    I need help with the question above.

    I would start with iTunes customer support.  If it is on both devices, doesn't sound like a device issue...

    I was recently blocked from using app Jack'D. Message I receive says "Your device has been blocked". How can I get around this?

    Quoted from their FAQ's:
    I got an error message saying my device is blocked. Why did this happen?
    There are two reasons this could happen: You have deleted your account or you have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
    - You have deleted your account.
    When you delete your account, you agree that your device would be blocked for at least one month. This policy is enforced in order to protect users from stalkers. (If the system allowed users to create and delete their accounts any time they wanted, the Block feature would be compromised and wouldn't be able to protect users effectively.) Please understand this is not a punishment but a security measure intended to keep all of our users safe.
    - You have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
    Users of this mobile application are required to comply with our terms of service and instructions provided by our service team. The most common violations include, but are not limited to: Creating multiple accounts, uploading pictures not complying with our terms, and abusing the Report feature.

  • When I open a photo with Preview, it opens all the photos I have viewed previously.  How can I prevent that, other than manually clearing the list after each time?

    When I open a photo with Preview, it opens all the photos I have viewed previously.  How can I prevent that, other than manually clearing the list after each time?

    Close the pictures before you quit Preview. Cmd-opt-q will close all windows and quit. cmd-opt-w will close all windows and not quit.
    Or, Disable automatically opening files that were left open in General System Preferences

    Please for referral information, how can I get more disk space, or actually information and guidelines that can have enough free disk space. How, I have to delete documents or downloading to another drive. (The problem is that Safari could not download the file "iTunesSetup.exe" because there is not enough free disk space.Try deleting documents or downloading to another drive) ... Perhaps this is the main problem why can not open iTunes and inscription is: the folder "iTunes" can not be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder. - And after options ok, appears option: Choose iTunes Library with inscription iTunes needs a library to continue. You may choose an existing iTunes library or create a new one - but still following options Choose Library and the following options can not open iTunes ...

    buy an external HD   1TB for $60
    NO notebook is a mass storage device, so dont try to turn it into one, it doesnt work that way.
    Unless youre using it every couple weeks, its static data and should be on an external HD
    In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace.  You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
    Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
    Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.

    Hello Krazyboutgolf,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS 7: Understanding Location Services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5594
    Improving GPS accuracy2,4
    GPS accuracy varies depending on the number of visible GPS satellites. Locating all visible satellites can take several minutes, with accuracy gradually increasing over time. Use these tips to improve GPS accuracy:
    Ensure the date, time, and time zone are correctly set on the device in Settings > General > Date & Time. If possible, use Set Automatically.
    Important: Incorrect settings on your computer can sync to your device. Verify the date, time, and time zone on any computer that syncs with your device.
    Restart your device.
    Verify that you have a cellular or Wi-Fi network connection. This allows the Assisted GPS (A-GPS) on the device to locate visible GPS satellites faster, in addition to providing initial location information using the Wi-Fi or cellular networks.
    Note: Microcells (sometimes called Femtocells) aren't supported with Location Services.
    Maintain a clear view of the horizon in several directions. Keep in mind that walls, vehicle roofs, tall buildings, mountains, and other obstructions can block line of sight to GPS satellites. When this occurs, your device will automatically use Wi-Fi or cellular networks to determine your position until the GPS satellites are visible again.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • I have an old apple id that i havent used for years. For some reason i have updates on my mac i cannot do unless i sign onto that old account. It uses an old e mail account i no longer use or have access to. How can i get to do these updates?

    I have an old apple id that i havent used for years. For some reason i have updates on my mac i cannot do unless i sign onto that old account. It uses an old e mail account i no longer use or have access to. How can i get to do these updates?

    its very specific.
    If you are seeing the old Apple ID with regard to this Mac, then it would seem that somehow you have incorporated the ID in the setup of this new Mac.
    Iphoto i use never used imovie.
    If you began using iPhoto without having Accepted it into your Apple ID, then that would explain why you are unable to update the app. If any of the iLife apps are used without Accepting them into your Apple ID, the ability to accept them will lapse and you will not be able to update them.
