Space for movies on ipad

I have a 16gb ipad 2 and im syncing movies. I have about 6gb of space left and want to fill it completely with movies but when I try sync another movie about 700mb it says I dont have enough space even though down the bottom I have 6gb free??

It is difficult unless you tell us what format the movies are in and what player you are using?
iTunes library will not really work. The TC is not a Media Player or Media related in any way at all.
But if you store movies in one of many different formats that are available and use a player on the ipad that can read and play those files, it can work.
So we cannot help you without info.. what source are the movies from? What format are they in? What player are you using?
How flexible are you?
Can anyone recommend what I need
In the apple world with itunes you need a computer (Mac or Windows) running iTunes with a disk available to it big enough to hold your library. And some sort of router to connect the ipad and the computer in the network.
Apple intends you to use itunes in homeshare.

I'm out of "free space" for my iPhones & iPads

I need to buy more space, but I'm curious if I should just buy the smallest package, or if I need to estimate what my long term needs will be. Basically, if I buy the smallest package & then need more space, will I get a credit when I have upgrade to the next level, or will I have to pay full price?

Though this is not specifically stated in the documentation, I would expect you to be charged for the upgrade on a pro rata basis - i.e. the fraction of the extra cost for the proportion remaining of your year's subscription.

Do I have to buy storage for both my iPad and my iPhone.

Importing movies to SD for transfer to iPad

I have lots of my dvd's ripped to external harddrives. I would like to import them into the kids iPad minis using an SD card and the Lightning to SD reader. So far I have been unable to add the movies to the SD card. I am not very familiar with using SD cards and have never transfer data to them. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

For movie files to be seen, they do need to be MP4 files - which the iPad will play.
On your card, make a folder named DCIM
Edit your movie files to have a file name of 8 characters.....Mov12345.mp4 for example
Put those movie files into the DCIM folder
put that card in the reader and your photo app should open. You cannot see the name of the files. nor can you preview them from the card. The only way to view them is to import them, watch and then delete...so you have to make sure you have enough free space on your harddrive.

Insufficient space for a movie

My iPad is telling me there is insufficient space for me to download a movie but I just bought more data so I know there is enough! Any ideas as to why it is doing this?

You cannot buy more memory for your ipad at all.
I am guessing that you purchased icloud storage, which has nothing at all to do with the storage capacity of your ipad.
You need to delete some content from the ipad to make more room.

Hello sweetling,
The following article details how to download purchases made on another device.

If for some reason the movie cannot be downloaded on your computer, I would recommend reporting an issue with the purchase.

I have purchased additional iCloud space. It shows I still have space, however my iPad mini shows I don't have enough space for the update for ios7. My photos are in the cloud, I guess, so why don't I have enough space?

If I delete photos on my iPad mini, can I still see them in iCloud storage? How do I free up more space on my iPad without removing photos?

If you delete photos from your iPad, they will also be deleted from iCloud and you'll lose them. Also, having additional iCloud space won't give you any more space on your device. You can't move any data to iCloud and delete it from your device. All you iCloud data is also on you device, and if you delete it from your device, it is also deleted from iCloud.
One option to free up space for the update is to delete the music from your iPad, then sync it back using iTunes after you update. (You can delete it all by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, then tap Music>Edit, then tap next to All Music.)
Also, if you purchsed the iCloud storage upgrade in the last 15 days thinking you chould use it to free up space on your iPad, you can call the Apple online store for your country and get a refund (1-800-MY-APPLE in the U.S. and Canada.)

I just bought the new HDMI cord for the IPad, it works good but a small potion of the TOP and the BOTTOM is cut off. It doesn't seem to do it for movies. My monitor is a 23 IN' acer s series.

I just bought the new HDMI cord for the IPad, it works good but a small potion of the TOP and the BOTTOM is cut off. It doesn't seem to do it for movies(although I can't really tell. My monitor is a 23 IN' acer s series. I just installed the drivers for my monitor with no change. I think I have a CD somewhere for my monitor maybe it has some kind of program in there that can help me. I can post a picture if I need to. Thanks

No work around that I know of.

Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?

Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?
The same pictures in iPhone utilises half the storage space than in the iPad.

Photos on the ipad should take up little more space than It does on The iPhone because of the screen resolutions size.
Keep in mind If the photos are being stored on the device by Photo stream they will Take up less Space or if The photo Are being store by itunes syncing they may take up a little more.

Space for IPAD 2

We have 3 iPads (2). All of them on one Account name. I believe that it has over excited the space on all on my Account.
Ive added extra space but still can’t get anything to down load. The messages say your out of space. How do I fix this problem?

If you purchased iCloud storage space, this is space for storing files over the Internet to Apple's remote network storage servers.
This type of storage DOES NOT increase your physical, local storage on your iPad. If your iPad/s are full or nearing full data capacity, you need to either backup your iPad/s to iTunes on a computer, first. Then you can selectively delete/remove items off of the iPad/s to increase the available storage space on your iPad/s.
The only other option to get more data storage space on an iPad is to completely wipe the data clean on your current iPad, sell it and use the cash to purchase a larger storage size version iPad.

Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

Can I move cache to external hard drive to save disk space for photoshop and bridge?

So could I take everything off my external hard drive, save it to my Mac, then re-format it for my Mac and move everything back to the external hard drive?
Yes. Keep in mind that you need to back up all data, including the data on an external drive. So if you're going to use the external drive to store original data, as opposed to backups, then you really need another one to back up the first one. You also need to back up the data on your internal drive, of course. This isn't optional. You must do it, or you'll lose everything sooner or later. All disk drives fail eventually, often with no warning.
If I do that how do I format the external hard drive for my Mac?
Launch the Disk Utility application and search the built-in help for "erase."
Would it be easier to just buy a external hard drive that is for a Mac?
All external hard drives work with Macs. Some might come pre-formatted for use with Macs, but it only takes a few minutes to do that yourself.

Have two ipads one account, to facetime with wifes ipad i need to make a differant id the way i understand it,my ipad has a space for another contact but on hers it only has sign in and pass. do i cancel my id on hers and enter her own email

on her ipad there is only my id and a space for password, do I cancel my id and put in her email , then and her email to my ipad where it says another contact, confused;

Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID under which they were purchased. If your friend wants to be able to manage apps on their device using their own Apple ID, they will need to delete all the apps purchased using your Apple ID and buy their own.
Hopefully, you just updated your own Apple ID with the new email and didn't make the mistake of creating a new Apple ID. If you created a new ID, stop using it now, don't buy anything using it and go back and update the ID under which you purchased your apps.

Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router

Have no volume on iPad for movies and games, hAve tried everything

I have no volume on my iPad for movies and games, I have tried everything

If the movies are not being played in the pre installed videos app, you may have systems sounds muted..
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
