Used iTunes to update iPad to iOS8.1. Now, I am missing 5GB of disk space. How do I get it back?

Hello Kind Community Gurus,
The day before yesterday I connected my iPad with my Mac to update it to the latest version of iOS8.1. My Mac configuration is as follows: MBA 2012, Yosemite 10.10, and iTunes 12.0.
My iPad backups were on the iCloud (not on my Mac). iTunes downloaded iOS8.1 and completed the installation. Before the installation my Mac had 18GB of free space and after the installation I have now 12.4 GB of free space. Approximately 5GB disk space is till missing.
FYI, I did not keep the backups of my iPad on my Mac. Aside from the iOS8.1 update, I did not install / download anything in my Mac.
I really have no clue what happened. Please let me know, how can I get the disk space back? Thank you very much.

Go to the bottom of the page and click the flag and pick your country.
BTW, you can ONLY buy from the itunes store of your country of residence ( proven by the valid billing address of your credit card) AND ONLY while inside the borders of that country.

You can get iTunes purchases back by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other items you need to get them from whee yuo got them the first time.
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced mediai like apps and music. If those ore not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you performed the update they are lost.

Going to venture a guess your Apple Mobile Device service isn't started.

I just had the same problem. Took the first unit back and the problem is still occuring on the second one. I solved it by setting up again with the USB, but it keeps dropping out every few days.

My ipad tells me that my icloud email is already used. That is true. The one whom it is assigned to is me. How can I get it back after deleting it?

Deleting an email account for the the mail app will not have any effect on ther AppleId and its use for other services. You need to delete the old ID and set up the new one for other services suxch as FaceTime, App store, etc.
It sounds like you are trying to set up a new ID rather that just adding your old one back in. Or maybe I'm missing something.

Oh!
First thing I think would be to do a search for the folder in case it's somehow got moved.
Failing that, you can retrieve the folder from your original installer disc using Pacifist.
Insert the disc (don't boot from it) and open the installer package with Pacifist. Navigate to the Desktop Pictures folder (might be a bit more fiddly to find in the package structure). When you find it, select the folder, right-click (or ctrl-click) and select 'install in default location' from the context menu.
Exit Pacifist and eject the disc.
Best of luck!

Maybe you have multiple accounts that's why your purchase history is empty. You can try checking for possible Apple IDs that's existing for you or you can ask for assistance from support.

I updated my iPhone to 6.0 and lost a lot of my pics how do I get them back?

I updated my iPhone to 6.0 and now pictures I took last night are missing!!! I already have a iCloud I'd.... How can I get them back??

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. There are no solutions to this in most cases.
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".

HT1349 I have been syncing my phone to my wife's phone to obtain music etc. Now when I go to update my apps it lists my wife apple id and not mine. How can I get it back to displaying my apple id? Thank you.

I have been syncing songs from my wife's account. Now when I go to update apps it lists her apple id instead of mine to do the update. How do I get it back to my apple id? Thank you.

Were the apps downloaded from her ID or yours? If they were from hers, only her ID can be used to update them. If they were from yours, you can change the ID under Settings > Store > Apple ID > Sign Out, then sign in with yours.

I have just completed an update to IOS 5 and restored by phone from back up but all the text messages have disappoeared. How do I get them back?

Not for the iPhone. Go to Safari, go to maps.google.com, then add the bookmark to the desktop and you have most of what was in the native Google Maps app.

Hi! It was a library book and I first downloaded it to my computer, then tranferred it to my Ipod via USB cable.
It appears on my Ipod menu under Music - Audiobooks and also under Playlists where the book title appears with 10 songs under the name.
However, it does not show up at all on my computer screen under my Library music listings either on the left side where the playlists are listed or on the right where the individual songs and artists, etc. are listed.
At this point my setting is on manaully manage music. If I change that now in order to download and buy a song, my book will get deleted from the Ipod.
