Whats happend to the storage on my iPad air?

Hi, i have a 16gb ipad air, and yesterday i had just under 2gb of free space, and yet today when i went on it, its popped up with a message saying i have nearly run out of space, so i checked under "usage" and its saying i have 0 bytes avaliable. How can i have lost 2gb overnight when i have done nothing? When i connect it to itunes i have over 4gb of storage being taken up by "other"
Its really bugging me now because it just seems to have lost storage overnight on its own

Hi, thanks for your reply again.
I went through the usage section and looked through every single app to see what data it was storing, safari, pages and all other apps where using minimal storage, safari was using the most with the offline reading list etc. but even that was only using 20mb of data within it. So there are no apps at all using much data. I restored it and as i said it went down to 3.5gb in the "other" section.
So i then erased the ipad from the ipad itself in settings rather than using itunes back to completely blank, and then restored from backup and that seems to have cured it, theres now only 1.5gb of storage under "other" in itunes (which to me still seems too much) however before i synced my photos back on that was only a few hundred MBs, so maybe photos have something to do with it.
But all my stuff is back on the way it was and its now 1.5gb as i said,  so i have no idea what was taking up the space before, but that seems to have cured it. I will probably do the same with my 5s to see if i can free up some space.

  • What happend to the sort function?!

    Latest version for iPad, what happend to the sort function?
    I have very big lists and I can't live without that function, I need to be able to sort the list descending.
    So my latest adds will end up in TOP, not bottom.
    I also need this function in my iPhone aswell...
     

    Thanks, but I still don't see any reason for removing that function from an existing version.
    Even if there is a new super-spotify under development... (that only might have that function..?)
    I can only hope that this new super-spotify app will have the sorting functions that are compareable to the Windows version of Spotify, eg sort on track, artist, time, album ,added date. It's not a tricky thing to add and it should have been added years ago.
    It's a real pain in the ass right now with big playlists in my iOS devices.
     

  • I recently purchased icloud storage for my iPad Air.  I want to store photos in the cloud and learn how to retrieve them.  I need help.

    I recently  purchased iCloud storage for my iPad Air so that I can store my photos in the cloud.  I don't know how to do this.  I want to be able to retrieve them as well. 

    Hello Janet
    With that iCloud storage that you purchased, is used for mainly for iCloud Backup for your iPad Air, app data as in games and documents for like iWork and other apps that save data locally within the app. Dealing with photos in your Photo Stream they actually do not count towards that storage plan. If you don’t think that the storage is going to work for you, then cancel the upgrade you just made.

  • What is the difference between Apple Ipad Air Model

    What is the difference between Apple Ipad Air Model # MD788LL/A and Model # MD788LL/B

    These models both use the same i7-3820QM processor, so difference(if any) is probably not in CPU(only stepping can be different, but intel site shows only E1). GPU is also the same(again, 'revision' or something may be different). doesn't seem that RAM is different either, it's 1600 DDR3L(only timings and power consumption can differ, but it's unlikely). SSD - cannot say anything from specs. Screen[manufacturer]? Googling shows nothing for me. And only visible difference(apart from model number) for me is price. As I'm considering purchase, I don't want to spend more money to get different number.

  • The videos I purchased on iTunes are taking up all the storage on my IPad. Is there a way to remove them from my iPad to free up some storage, but store them in the cloud to access in the future?

    The videos I purchased on iTunes are taking up all the storage on my IPad. Is there a way to remove them from my iPad to free up some storage, but store them in the cloud to access in the future?

    Thx - the videos are on my Ipad - that is the problem - they are taking up all the storage and there is no room for anything else. Is there any place I can store them so that I can access them from time to time, but not have they use up all the space on the IPad? Sounds like the cloud is out...

  • What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?

    What happended to the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool 4.2 for Solaris 10?
    I'm trying to debug a kernel panic under Solaris 10 on sparcv9. I tried the SUNWscat 4.1 package but it core dumps on Solaris 10. I found a blog entry that described the problem and mentioned a version 4.2 fix. That was from May 2006, but I have not found any update sense then. Was 4.2 ever released or is their an alternative tool for Solaris 10 that I can use?

    One problem is that those of us who develop Solaris CAT do so as a "hobby" as it's not part of our actual jobs. But he good news is that management gave us the time to get a release out and 5.0 is now available here . We're now planning 6 month releases so we don't have a 5 year delay between updates.
    BTW, the Solaris Crash Analysis Tool supports Solaris 10, OpenSolaris/Solaris Nevada, sparc, and x86/x64.
    There are so many enhancements and bug fixes that I'd recommend reading the release notes (SUNWscat/docs/index.html).

    I'm not sure what you're asking. If you're asking us to tell you the IMEI for your particular iPad, that's impossible. None of us, your fellow users, will have any access to such information. If you're asking how to find the IMEI for your iPad, that would be labeled as such on the box, or found by these additional possibilities:

  • Why is ituned downloading the latest software twice and leaving my ipod in recovery mode? what happend to the first download?

    why is itunes downloading the latest software twice and leaving my ipod in recovery mode? what happend to the first download?

    Does the iPod work fine now?
    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • What happend to the Moderator?

    I am a Jr Oracle DBA, though I have several years of SYBASE experience my knowledge of Oracle is very minimal. With the large base of excellent Oracle masters and guru's, I rather remain a junior in this field because there is a lot to learn from everyone.
    I have been using this forum and others on OTN and metalink to learn from others problems and solutions. Trying out stuff and learning along. Never needed to post anything yet because I could find most of what I was looking for from the documentation, books and forums such as these. So this is my first post, sad to say that I have to write on this first
    Over the past 3 days or so I have noticed very unhealthy discussions by certain individuals such as ‘ohiostate’. He has been accusing the entire professional community in several layers, authors, volunteers, publishers and user groups. The thread “A Good Guideline book for Database systems” is a perfect example..
    First of all, when people write such generic statements and generic advices they should have the basic commitment to disclose themselves. Otherwise they should be treated as anonymous and deleted. But what happend to the moderator?
    By using such generic names in their user ids and using such abusive language, accusing others, who does he represent, causing disgrace to all the Oracle users from Ohio State or Ohio State University?
    Everything this user has mentioned should be taken with little or no value. This user in particular is a disgrace to the Oracle user community. How does he call himself a Oracle DBA?
    Moderator, could you delete the threads/replies created by this individual and bring some health to this discussion forum? or merely do something with this person?

    Jason,
    I agree with you, unfortunately there have been several individual whose contributions are less than non-sense couple of bytes such as "read the manual" without even worrying about pointing out to the specific piece of manual, or even worst, suggesting to read a manual they have even not read themselves. There have been other cases even worst who in a completely anonymous way attack and harass other members from the forum, those individuals have been removed from the forum several times, there was an individual who directly attacked Justin Cave several times, it attacked also Andrew Clark aka APC, and it was removed along with its rubbish threads.
    Sad to hear this is the topic for your first post, but at the same time, I feel glad this forum at least has served at a certain extent to solve your problems, so you have not had the need to start a post on your own. Solving an specific problem for an OP or indirectly serving others as accurately as possible is the spirit of the forum.
    There is a moderator, and you can reach him by posting your thread at the Community Feedback (No Product Questions)
    Best Regards.

  • What happend to the four finger swipe?

    I used to be able to swipe down with four fingers and all open windows would neatly arrange themselves so I could pick the one I wanted to use.  Now, when I swipe the screens dims a little, but the active windows aren't there.  If I minimize the windows and swipe, they arrange at the bottom in a new, smaller configeration.  What happend to the swipe?

    If it is still listed and selected in system preferences then try booting into  Safe Mode  and see if the problem persists. Here is a link to a system maintenance Application to help keep thing running smoothly.

  • What happends with the Auzhotizations FLAG in InfoObject

    Hello
    What happends with the Auzhotizations FLAG in InfoObject
    THNX from germany
    barish

    Hi,
    In the query execution there are a sequence of steps performed before we actually see the data. One of these steps is Authorization check.
    When we check Auth Relevant for a characteristic and have a Authorization Variable in the query. The authorizations assigned to the user are checked to see what the user has access to. For instance if we have a auth relevance for Region char, and we used it in the query. User who is running the query has authorization to Germany only, then the output of the report has only data relevant to that user, i.e., for Germany.
    Hope this helps.

  • What happened to the search function on ipads?

    what happened to the search function on ipads?

    Ok, I agree it USED TO WORK that way, swiping down from the center. Now swiping down from the center with the newest CRAP iOS 7.0.4, all that happens is the notifications tab pulls down.
    I can see all the options for Spotlight Search in the General Setup, and have all of the search options enabled, but the old way (2 weeks ago) of getting the search pane DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE.
    Anyone have a clue where it went, or how to get it back, or enable it, or anything?  SIRI is clueless too. I say "Open Spotlight Search". She says "You don't seem to have an app named Spotlight Search"
    I can tell SIRI to open one of my 150+ apps WHEN ONLINE, but if I'm flying or out of wi-fi, and want to search my iPad, I need the spotlight search pane!!!

  • What is the return policy for iPad air. .

    What is the return policy for iPad air. I just got this less than a month back. I find I it very hard to use. I hardly used It.

    The 14 day return policy is if you bought from Apple. If you bought from another source, it's governed by their return policy.
