Storage: I got a 32gig iPad for Christmas - I really need some help.

Storage: I got a 32gig iPad for Christmas, and literally I am already down to 2 gigs of storage left. I believe my iPad is a 4th generation, and currently on my device I only have a 10 apps, 6 photos, 3 personal family videos 10mins in length each, and about 10 disney channel tv shows for my kids. I also have my work email, but I set it to only go back two weeks.
I am not sure what I am doing to eat through this much space so quickly. I realized after downloading 4 tv shows for my daughter I was getting HD, so I did change the other 6 to SD which I know takes less space. However it hasn't really helped. Recently I started using the camera to take a few short movies of my kids 3 videos about ten mins in length each and that ate through space in no time.
My iPad is 32gigs but really only started with 28 gigs capacity.
Is there something I can do? Am I doing something wrong? Sorry I am not the most technically inclined, but a co-worker of mine has an older iPad with thousands of pics, hundreds of songs, plenty of movies, at least 20 apps, etc and her 32 gig iPad still has 12 gigs left. She has WAY more stuff on hers than mine.
I really appreciate any help someone can provide. Thank You.

Ok. Do you know if I delete a show from iTunes on my device can I still redownload it for free? Seems that 13.7 gigs taken up are those disney channel shows. If I delete them I can always just redownload them no?
I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Gave grandkids Ipads for Christmas. I need to sync each to my Mac with their own Itune accounts. I do have them on my computer with their own login. What is the best way to sync their Ipads?

I need to sync each of my grandkids IPads to my Mac with their own Itune accounts. Each grandkid does have a login on my computer that I control. On their IPads they each set up a ITune account. What is the best way to sync their Ipads? Is there something I need to make sure is turned on in their accounts on my computer?

Hi Jodel,

We don't know what kind of CANON you have, what kind of Mac you have, how you are connecting it, etc etc etc.

My iPad has been stolen, I need some help with the Find my iPhone app and iCloud please

Hello people. I have (had) an iPad 1 (wifi only) - which was stolen two days ago. It's locked with a passcode but I am worried that someone will be able to get into it. I've got the Find app installed on my iPhone 4S and it shows that both my iPad and stolen iPod are offline.
Q - if either the iPad or the iPod goes into an unlocked wifi area, will I be notified on my phone?
Q - can anyone actually break into my iPad as it is locked?
Q - how does iCloud work in terms of the info that's on my iPad - photos etc that I don't want to lose?
Q - I've reported this to the police - does Apple need to know?
I'd be very grateful for any advice, many thanks in advance

THANK YOU/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png so the tolerance makes it not care so much about the gradations in color? what else is tolerence good for?
I have a cleaner copy now after someone suggested GIMP, so played with it last night - though couldn't figure out transparency - that was clear on converter- just not cooperative till these wonderful directions.
So now I know how to do it without messing with the pic, and with messing with it - both good lessons and got a bit brighter color out of the deal.
many thanks for the straightforward and clear directions, they worked perfectly/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png extra strars for you/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore 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.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.

Make an appointment at the genius bar.
If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

I got an iPod Nano for Christmas and loved it. Then the screen died. I got a replacement but it no longer repeats Playlists. Is it a setting I have to adjust to get it to repeat the entire Playlist?

My dad just got the new MacBook for Christmas. His friends all use PC's....

My dad just got the new MacBook for Christmas. His friends all use PC's and they keep sending him these joke email attatchment files that he can't open on his Mac. One was a .wma audio file, presumably some were video files. Is it possible for him to read these files on his Mac with some aditional software or not? I haven't used Mac's predomanatly before so I'm unsure. What software should he download?

Playing video files from your computer is completely independent of the optical drive. You could play say a Windows Media file even if you didn't have a drive as long as that file is on your computer.
That said some report problems using VLC to play DVD's (hence using your optical drive).
But to the original poster..... Flip4Mac and/or VLC that was suggested should do the trick. About the only thing that would stop those would be a WM10 file that have DRM attached and there's nothing you can use at this point. It's highly unlikely that a bunch of jokes being sent around (great way to get a virus by the way, I know you probably won't and that's why you have a Mac but you get the idea) is using WM10 though.

Hi there
I had the same trouble today, I kept entering the sky password but would not accept, my iMac and iPod work ok but just could not get my iPod to work. But I found the fault, the password is case sensitive and mine on sky is in caps, the up arrows on the keypad put the caps on,but after each letter you must put the caps back or it wil revert to lower case, I hope this may help you
