Why don't you get the full amount of memory in iPad?

I was wondering why a 64 gb wifi iPad 2, only have 59 gb free space. How and where does the 5 gb being used?

First, it's storage space not memory.
Computers see a gigabyte of data as 1024 Bytes.
Marketing departments call 1000 Bytes as a gigabyte.
All storage makers use 1000 Bytes as a gigabyte.
Also, the firmware takes up space that cannot be used.
This is also reflected in the available space.
Hence my 64gb iPad shows 59.1 gigabytes total available.

  • Why can't I get the full amount of hard disk space when I reformat?

    I have a 750 GB external Western Digital. I reformatted it using extended journaled setting. When it's all ready to go why do I only get 700 GB available as free space and not the full 750 GB? What is occupying the remaining 50 GB? I guess I could understand a gig or two that I couldn't use, but 50 GB, that's 15% of the disk!!!!
    Thank you

    Gets asked frequently....
    500GB = 465GB too. Or 1000GB = 933GB.
    Then, you will find the last inner tracks are drastically slower than the outer 1/3, too. So chop some off for performance.
    699GB is 'normal.' The new WD 640GB Caviar = 599GB, great drive and seems slightly faster than the 750GB due to higher density recording.
    You can build your own and choose the drive and case that meets your needs, and avoid the vendor 'tax' or WD "features" and go with a Oxford based FW/USB/eSATA cases.

  • Why do we cant get the full amount of storage capacity?

    for example 340TB capacity but when i click on the volume, it only less than 340TB?

    To answer the question without more details, one would probably need a crystal ball.
    Please provides more details, like the number of hosts, raw capacity, formatted capacity, screenshots, ...
    Also keep in mind that HDD capacities are usually provided as Base-10 values (marketing size), rather than Base-2 (real size), so with 340TB (Base-10) you may see ~310-320TiB (Base-2).

  • Why don't you remove the Gd limit for sharing an idea?

    I have copied/pasted my original text and suspect will be forced to make it public in mozillaZine or... this limit is extremely annoying! First of all... some search engine? searchqu.com took over Firefox 4.0 and I.E.... after reading in mozillaZine that uninstalling/re-installing FF didn't work, I tried various ideas that were reported to work... none did for me! So I downloaded and installed Google Chrome. Its search engine had been compromised by searchqu.com as well but I was able to set it back to Google.com! Then I discovered that Google Chrome downloaded files 6 times faster than did FF 4.0, FF 3.6 or I.E. 8. So I am going to stick with GC. However, if someone can tell me how to get FF downloading at 15 Mbps like GC... I will be back... it is difficult to leave FF after Netscape>Firebird>Firefox! The upload rate is indeed cut in half... but that will just keep FF installed and used on occasion. I am truly hoping to get a solution to my speed problem... it is indeed a problem only on my computer and my netbook... the speed thing is fine on my wife's computer! ??? This is the only way I could find of informing someone about this weird problem without making it public! But as all can see, I had to go public! :o) By the way... uninstalling Firefox including all data then installing it worked for me! That damn searchqu.com is gone... at least has been for a few hours now!

    Apple seems to have been gradually replacing flags with alphabetic symbols wherever possible.  Chinese and Japanese have been this way for quite a long time, and in Yosemite I count 30 keyboards (including Greek), nearly half the total, without the flag. 
    The easiest way to get the Greek flag back would be to download the app Ukelele, which includes copies of the Greek keyboard and the old flag icon, which you can install and use instead of Apple's.

    I can also send the keyboard and flag to you if you want if you provide an email.

    Good idea.  Now you can go about your day and do other things, and hopefully Apple will provide an option for full screen caller ID.

  • Why don't we get the choice to have an app or not

    Why do we not get the choice wether or not to have icons for app? The YouTube, game center, and the video icons just take up space and I never use them. We should have the option wether or not to keep them. I understand that you either own the companies or have partnered with them but you should not force your customers to keep the icons on their iPad and iPhones.
    Please give us the choice.
    Other than that I love the iPad but now that I am using it for school, I need the space as much as possible.
    Thanks,

    You are talking to fellow users here, not to Apple. If you want leave feedback for them then you can do so here http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    You can always move them to a different screen, or, as you're on iOS 4.2, you can put them into a lesser used folder so that they are less visible.

    How do you get the app store back on your iPad

    My money is on one of the two suggestions that my colleague has given you, but if all else fails......
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.

  • Why don't you get some c/c++ grizzled veterans on your team and fix the memory leaks that have dogged FireFox ever since the beginning?

    It's not plugins or extensions. This is a problem that never goes away. Memory usage creeps up into the multiple GBs (I have 12 GB of ram, the more you give the more it takes), and eventually the little OOPS Firefox crashed dialog is the only thing running. What about reviving the Electrolysis project for multi-process operation? In modern versions of IE and Chrome, this capability is so useful to kill off offending tabs.

    Electrolysis is alive and well, and is currently hot on track for a future release. Please note that Electrolysis (or per-tab process) doesn't improve memory usage (In fact Chrome has significantly worse memory usage than Firefox because of it). One thing we are trying to do right is make sure we don't worsen memory usage because of Electrolysis.
    Memory usage is something that's difficult to work on with little information, so if you want help please provide us some more data such as your about:support (type it in your url bar and press enter) and your about:memory (same)

  • Why can't I get the full resolution on my Ultrawide monitor when connected to my MBP?

    I just purchased an LG Ultrawide 29" monitor to hook up to my Macbook Pro (Mid-2010 model). The full resolution should be 2560x1080. The only cable that came with the monitor was an HDMI to HDMI cable, so I used a miniDisplayport to HDMI cable that I had. The screen popped up on the monitor, but it was stretched out, and there was a message saying it wasn't configured to the full resolution (and that I need to change it in the Display settings). The problem is there's no option in the Display settings for anything larger than the 1920x1080 standard resolution for this monitor.
    I checked the manual that came with the monitor and it mentions that using an HDMI cable with a mac won't allow me to use the full resolution (or sound for that matter). It says instead I need to use a DVI-D dual link cable to get the monitor to work properly with a mac. Only problem is, this particular monitor doesn't have a DVI port on it (I think the manual was referring to a similar but possibly older version that had HDMI, Displayport and DVI ports on it). This one only has two HDMI ports and one Displayport port on it. I browse around online for people that had a similar problem, and I see a comment saying I just need to get a miniDisplayport to Displayport cable and then everything will work fine. I finally bought said cable (which a lot of places apparently don't carry), plugged everything in, and still no dice. The only resolution options for the monitor are still 1920x1080 and less.
    Is this a problem with my Macbook? From everything I've looked up, my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M) should support it, and it says right on the packaging for the Displayport cable that it should support up to a 2560x1440 resolution.

    Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

  • Why don't I get the wifi sync option when I plug my iphone 4? (itunes 10.5 and iOS5 up to date)

    I have my iphone conected to my IMac and itunes software and Iphone software up to date (10.5 and iOs5) but I don´t get the wifi Sync option on my Iphone summary. Any ideas?

    It's not listed as an option. If you are seeing your iPhone in iTunes then thats it. You just click sync. (It works exactly the same way as if it was plugged in)

  • Why don't I get the little "locked" symbol anymore?

    When I sign into a company website that I wish to buy a product from, I no longer get the little "padlock" in the lower right corner of my screen. Locked meant secure site and unlocked meant don't use it. Now I get no symbol. It doesn't matter if I have additionally signed onto their secure site. (llbean, cabela, amazon, 1800 flowers) all flopped in this regard. Even as I write this I'm not getting a little padlock so I don't even know if THIS is a secure site. This lack of a padlock symbol caused my husband to go to another company to place an order for flowers - and order by telephone. Me, too. Hope you can clear up the confusion. Mary-Anne

    Firefox ever since Firefox 3.0 has been using the Site Identity Button
    The padlock before only showed that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL. The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the Site Identity Button on the left end of the location (address) bar.

    If you still want a padlock icon also then there is this Extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/
    Also the Status bar is now replaced by the Add-on bar. If you want the Status bar then see https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
