Dave, Thanks for all the work you did on this. I hate to say it but I guess I'll buy a cheap Fire tablet and get the shows from Amazon. I know they have room for a micro SD card up to 128GB so I can get alot of videos on that. Again, thanks so much Richard

Giradman, THANKS!! Really appreciate your help. Your presence and others makes this forum indispensable and fun. However, I am still unsure (not very technically able) of how to get a TV show or a movie onto the card and then how to get the iPad to "see" it so I can play the TV show from the...

Thanks Looked at one on Amazon and it says movies cannot be transferred due to Digital Rights Management Is this just a disclaimer or for real? If it does work how do I transfer tv shows to it from iTunes and will the iPad recognize it as an external device? Thanks RAM

I am going on a trip soon and would like to have more TV shows from iTunes than i can get on my 64g iPad. ( I won't have WiFi available) Is there a way to download programs from iTunes and store them on an external drive (1TB) and then access them as needed to my iPad? Thanks

Thanks!! I will do that.

I don't know if anyone has had this problem so I hope there is a simple fix. When I connect my iPad to my computer (Windows) and go into the TV Shows settings to select downloads, I just checked off 5 episodes of Chicago PD, #4,5,6,7,8. Previously, I had #1,2,3 checked off but I watched them so...

Hi all, I'm one of those people who never takes the time to clean out my inbox. For years. Not a problem on the computer or Hotmail or Gmail, but it is now taking up too much space on my iPad. Of course, when I hold the icons down, the Mail button does not wiggle so I know I cannot remove it...

Over the years, I have spent alot of money buying TV episodes to watch on airplanes and in hotel rooms and occasionally at home when I get into a series like Game of Thrones. Apple is pulling a new trick and I wonder if I am the only one seeing it. For example, with the division of TV series...

Thought i did this correctly. Guess not. The upper file is what it looks like AFTER I sync. The lower one is the one that comes up when I plug in the iPad but do nothing.

It actually looks like it did when I first contacted you. I found a way to send you a screen capture. First one here is when I just plug my iPad into my computer with iTunes already up.Nothing done at all. Here is what it looks after I sync BEFORE there are any changes made - shows deleted or...

Dave, First thanks for all your help!!! Just knowing there are people willing to give others a helping had is very special. Somehow, after getting less afraid of blowing things up and using the photo o your screen, i found that I could most of MS Office with no problem and that one TV series had...

Dave. Thanks so much. I did not know about that storage and how it was divided up. I eliminated MS Office and some other apps and everything is OK Again, thanks for your help!!! Richard

Sorry, Videos = 47.5 GB. When I plug the ipad into my windows machine, it shows no storage left, but I have only 2 to sync and it won't let me because of storage.

Hi Dave. Thanks for all your help. Last reply showed Settings>Usage as 55.2GB used with 634 available Apps: Powerpoint =549MB, Videos 47.5MB, Word 543MB, Excel 528, iphoto314MB Sorry to be so unfamiliar but after a year, I am still a newbie THANKS11

Dave, lMy image bar at the bottom says 50.28 gb and is over by 4.58gb. I checked my ipad numerous times and cannot find extra programs to eliminate. I don't have about 5 TV shows in total on the iPad. I already took many off the ipad. Any other suggestions?

Sorry. Could not figure out how to do a screen shot of my Windows computer with the iPad connected. Is there any other way to eliminate the very long line of "Video" when it does not match the connection. I have very little space available but only about 10 TV shows on the iPad. Any help...

Hi Dave Tried the Reset one more with no luck. IPad Air; 64gb, Do not know how to do screen capture or how to attach it here. Thanks. Going out of town 6AM so I hope to get thissolved. RAM

Hi, When i connect my iPad to my computer to download the TV shows I like, it gives a message that there is no room left. The part of the bar that indicates video in the lower bar takes up more that 75%. I have very little media on it as, however, I have been watching TV shows from the cloud...

iPad Air ios 8.4 Will try the reset as you said above Thanks Dave!

Hi, Thanks for answering Used Storage says 55.8 gig Available storage says 2 gb

Sorry I have to ask this, but my iPad just started to bring up a dialogue box: Your iPad is almost full. when I connect my iPad to iTunes it says I still have 10.68 gig. Is there any fix for this?

Giradman. Thanks for taking interest in my problem. I rebooted the Air and all was was well in computerland. ITsolved the prolem.. Thanks Again!! Ricad

A bit ago, I attached my iPad to my Windows computer and was knocked over by what I saw. "Other" had taken over almost all of my iPad space except for about 6 gb.. I do not know how to get rid of this. Last time I used my iPad was yesterday evening and all went fine. "Other" was only about 4-6...

Thanks J.A. I will look for it next time. BTW, how does one "restore their device using iTunes"? I thought it did that automatically when you sync it? Thanks, RAM

In the last few weeks, I get the above message when I connect my iPad to my computer. The bar at the bottom of the iPad that shows how much space is being used shows very little grey, or open space. But when I delete or even add a TV show, that bar shows alot of space, typically 10-15gb. In...

Being somewhat new to the Forum, this may have already be answered. For the life of me, I cannot figure out the difference between these. I am currently using Dropbox and find that works well to sync all my files between devices. I have an iPhone 5s, iPad Air, iPad 2, and a PC. Can anyone shed...

What am I doing now? Downloading more media from iTunes for a trip I am taking for Mother's Day. Boy, I wish my wife were tech savvy. It would make it easier to get her a gift. An iPad Mini!

My hard drive is getting overloaded with iTunes media. I am using a PC. I am thinking of backing it up to an external hard drive and eliminating it from my hard drive. 2 questions: Do I simply drag and drop the iTunes folder under My Music to the external hard drive? If I do this, do I need to...

Battery Drain Solved Just wanted to follow-up on the problem with the Air's battery losing power much too fast. As suggested, I closed all background apps and that solved the problem. Now it lasts alot more than I ever expected. Also, want to thank those of you who devote your precious time to...

Just did it. all apps were automatically being refreshed. Will let you know if that works. Thanks so much! RAM

I have an iPad 2 and a new Air. The 2 seems to hold its charge more than twice as long as the new Air. Just leaving it sit, closed, overnite takes over 20% of the charge away on the Air. Is there something I should be doing differently or is this just the nature of the Air?

I have some older DVDs and CDs before they were encoded that I would like to add to my iTunes library. Can someone provide a link or some instructions to get them into iTunes. I want to watch them on my iPad Air. Thanks

Fintie case. 9.95 at Amazon when I bought it.

Thanks for your input. Is there a tutorial on how to transfer documents in Pages, Keynote, etc to Word, Power Point, or is this even possible? I would hate to create a presentation in Keynote and not be able to use it on my PC. Thanks RAM

Just got my new iPad Air and I Love It! Still have my 2 but this feels so much lighter, I'm carrying it around with me. Anyway, am now getting serious about using it during the work day and thought those of you who already use it for work can advise on some must-have apps. BTW, I have an...

I remember a case a few weeks ago that was featured on the front page as a giveaway for a contest (don't remember details). It had a strap and could be converted to a "walking desktop". Does it fit the iPad Air and does anyone remember which one it is?

I have never used any apps for business so I am asking the forum which ones would you buy to start a new business. Can it be done for accounting and other business tasks? All suggestions welcome. Thanks

I have a 2 in fabulous condition. Should I sell it before the new ones come out as I will be getting an iPad5? Pros and Cons? Thanks

Hi, NEED HELP with ITunes. I know this may be out of the spectre of the Forum but it is about downloading into my iPad 2. There is a TV show that will not download - Falling Skies. I have prepaid and get an email from Apple when it is available. I prepaid for 2 other shows that download...
