Why does my iPad say it needs 1.4GB more storage to back up when I have 7.9GB of space available of my 20GB storage icloud storage?

MMy iPad says it needs 1.4GB more storage to do a back up but I have 7.9GB available of my 20GB storage icloud storage?

If you want to avoid paying for additional iCloud storage you can backup to your computer. Start the latest version of iTunes on your computer, connect your iPad, select General from the row of tab that are presented, then select your backup option.

HT5824 why does my ipad say user name disabled, but on all other devices i can pog into itunes and icloud using my user name

why does my ipad say user name disabled but i can use my user name to log into itunes and icloud on other devices

At this time there is no "solution." You'll simply have to wait the 90 days to re-enable iTunes Match.
For now here is my suggestion. In your User Account, in OS X, sign out of whatever iTunes Store account you are signed in with. Then sign in with your store account and leave it at that. Now sign out of your OS X User Account, sign into your wife's OS X User Account and sign into the iTunes Store with her Apple ID (if necessary sign out of the account first).
Now, you can go back to your OS X User Account and attempt to enable iTunes Match. You will probably get the "wait 90 days" message. If so leave it, mark your calendar, and wait for the 90 days to expire. You can try contacting iTunes Store support at <https://expresslane.apple.com> if you wish, but I really do not know how useful that will be.
Incidentally, you get the message to pay for the service when trying to enable it on your wife's Apple ID because the service has not been purchased using that Apple ID. iTunes Match is designed to be a single-user service that is never signed out of and is associated with one, and only one, Apple ID and a regional store.

Why does my ipad say i cant make anymore apple ids or and i cloud account

Why does my ipad say i cant make anymore applie ids or an i cloud account abd how do i get an account HELP please !!!!!

Hello, I had the same problem (repeatedly) until I did this, it works!
Remove sim, very very lightly rub the sim card's contacts (the metallic parts) with a standard pencil eraser. I suspect its just a micro-residue from the manufacturing process interfering with complete contact.

Read the KB article. Make sure you are using the 10W adapter that came with the iPad or a High-Power USB 2.0 port.

Why does my IPad say "sending the message content to the server failed

Why does my IPad say "sending the message content to the server failed" I have checked the wi-fi connection and everything is fine and the email addresses are correct so what's wrong

Why does my iPad say " No SIM " in the upper left corner ?

Hi Edwardtracey,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It sounds like you have a cellular data plan and there is no service where you currently are.
The article below will explain this feature and how to turn the setting on/off.
The article has more details and screenshots, but I've quoted highlights below for you:
iOS: About the Cellular Data setting
Cellular data is used for data communication in cellular networks. It does not affect your ability to make or receive phone calls or to use Wi-Fi networks for Internet connectivity. If you turn off cellular data, you will be unable to:
See the cellular data icons in the status bar (for example, LTE or 3G).
Send or receive MMS messages. However, you can still send and receive SMS and iMessages if you're connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Retrieve or listen to new Visual Voicemail messages. To retrieve these messages, enable Cellular Data.
Use Personal Hotspot.
You can adjust this setting by going to:
iPad: Settings > Cellular
Additional Information
You can also enable or disable cellular data for certain iOS features from this setting:
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Why does my iPad 2 suddenly need to activate SIM, go blank ?

Hi everyone,
I have a REALLY annoying problem with my iPad 2:
Twice in about a month now, I open my smartcover, and I get the picture that says I need to connect to iTunes to activate.
When I do that, it says the SIM card has a PIN, so I need to remove that PIN code to activate the iPad, then reconnect.
What I end up doing, is removing the SIM card to even be able to get past that. So I connect the iPad to iTunes. Everything's gone, and I have to resync from the latest backup.
Both times it's happend, the iPad has just been lying around for some hours since I last used it. I open the cover, and bam.
Basically this means I can't trust my Apple product, because I simply don't know if it at some point screws me over. E.g. on a vacation, and it suddenly does that after I import all my vacation pictures from my DSLR. Or blog posts and articles I write but can't sync when on vacation (due to the insane european data traffic prices). So I almost don't dare produce anything I need, on my iPad 2.
Which is ironic, since I bought it for just that primarily: Writing, for meetings, for school work etc.
Do any of you guys have this problem, or have had it, and know of a solution ? Otherwise I'll simply have not use a SIM card with it. Which would annoy the crap out of me, since I like having a 3G connection on it.
Hoping someone can help me understand what's going on.
Kind regards,
Jacob

Do a FACTORY RESTORE...not from your back...
Make sure you DON'T allow iTunes to back-up your Ipad before this as it will Replace your back up with the funcky New app arrangement and soo on..
Now after the Factory restore, restart iTunes and do a restore from the Back-p. AGAIN don't let iTunes do a back-up prior to this...

Why does my ipad say 10.6 gig used and 2.2 available

Why does my ipad air say 10.6 GB used and 2.2 GIG available when its a 16 Gig ipad. Cant figure it out. please help

Out of the box, your iPad only had about 13.5GB of available space.
There are several factors that affect the amount of storage space on an iPad. First is the true amount of space on a hard drive. There is a math difference in how companies spec hard drive size and the true amount of available space. Second the iPad has some pre-installed apps that take up space. My 16GB iPad 2 started out with only 13.5GB of available space.

Why does my iPad say "outside of the United States"?

Any ideas?

OK. I give up. Where does your iPad say "outside of the United States"? And does the iPad speak this to you? .... you hear a voice saying this? Or do you see this on the screen?????

Why does my ipad say I have no photos when itunes says I have 2200 photos on my ipad?

When I sync my iPad2 with iTunes, iTunes shows that I have 2000+ photos synced to my iPad, but when I go to look at photos on my iPad, it says that there are no photos. Anyone know how I can find the photos on my iPad?

I had this problem, too. It was on my phone, though, but it seems to be a problem that many people have.
I have fixed it. It cost me 99 cents.
My phone said I had 247 photos/videos. Itunes said I had 1700+. Both said that Photos & Video were taking up 10.8 GB of storage.
On my phone, I went to Settings --> iCloud --> Storage --> Change Storage Plan
I selected the 20GB plan for $0.99 a month
Then, I went to Settings --> iCloud --> Photos
I enabled My Photo Stream (slider to the right/green)
Then, I got on WiFi. I don't know how long it took, certainly not long enough to upload gigabytes of data, but I saw that my Photos & Camera app was using a far more reasonable amount of storage (1.3 GB, rather than 10.8 GB). I checked this by going to
Settings --> General --> Usage --> Manage Storage
Because I don't want the 20GB iCloud plan, I went back to
Settings --> iCloud --> Storage --> Change Storage Plan --> Downgrade Options (at the bottom)
... and I selected the 5 GB Free plan again.
Now for a little rant.
I am very unhappy that I had to give Apple one thin dime to have this fixed. After spending a couple of hours trying to figure out why I can barely use any storage on my phone, I had to pay to fix it. Ridiculous.
I still enjoy using Apple products, but I enjoy using them less and less over time. Not only is every release of iTunes less usable than the previous one, the last one wouldn't even install on my machine. That was about another six hours lost trying to figure out the problem.

Why does my Ipad say headphones are connected when they are not?

I do not have sound on my iPad1. When I try to turn up the volum it indicates headphones are connected, but they are not. When I do use headphones they do work. I have rebooted the iPad, reset and restored the iPad and the issue still exists. Is this a straight hardware problem?

iPad has a mechanical switch inside the jack so it knows when the headphones are plugged in.
It may be stuck.
Inspect it to see if something is in there, such as toe jam.
Blow the port out with compressed air.
Try inserting and removing a headphone plug several times.
