I have something called OTHER taking up 9 gigs on my ipad. This happens a LOT. Only way to clear is to wipe the entire ipad every single time. Lmfao nah ill pass on that.
Im going to sell this piece of shit. Anyone here have Surface tablets? I can spend about $500. What is recommended? Never even used one before.

other means unclassified files
- No one cares. Its a legit problem with ipads that goes back many years and has never been fixed. There is STILL no easy fix for it. Have to wipe the whole thingCygnusZero4
- Very tired of dealing with this and ready to move on/UPGRADE to something that worksCygnusZero4
- I dont have much on my 16gb ipad. I only have 2 gb's free. Nice!CygnusZero4

My GF have an iPad and she always have all sorts of fuckups I dont have with my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2.
I dont think I will ever get back to Apple in a near future.
- Yeah they are overpriced shit. I dont know anything about galaxy tab's. I guess I should look into them.CygnusZero4
- The newest 32GB iPad is $329. The Samsung S3 32GB is $599. I'm sure it's not overpriced shit and that the extra $250 is worth every penny.monospaced
- the iPad is 516$ with taxes in Canada.Bennn
- and side note, how in the Hell can the Apple Eatbuds worth 250$ with taxes in Canada! 250$!! fuckthatBennn
- Yeah and the Samsung equivalent is proportionally more expensive in Canada too. Nobody forcing you to buy hide headphones btw, or understand them.monospaced
- I just bought the 2017 128gb iPad. They finally got the price that I can accept for the battery capacity and performance.pango
- quite liked it.pango
- Quebec got higher tax right?
BC's at 12% + Electronic recycling fee and shit.pango - No I'm pretty sure it's just Apple taxing Canadians more just like they charge them more than the us. Apples fault.monospaced
- yeah its true we have more tax in Quebec. And everything cost more in Canada, every brand want the same profit as in the US but the Cad$ is lowerBennn
- in ontario everyone gets a free iPadGnash
- Bennn, please stop comparing Canadian dollars to US dollars and trying to say things are more expensive there as a result. That's not how currency exchanges wrkmonospaced

What do you mean you have "other" on your iPad? How do you know it's exact file size? Is that a mysterious app? Does it affect all iPads or just some? Does it affect iPhones or just your iPad?
- if you plug your phone on your computer and open up itune. you can see some spaces are categorized as "Others"pango
- "Other" can be lots of things such as caches, messages, prefs, etc. I've seen no issues with it being corrupt crufty data since iOS 7.evilpeacock
- It bloats if you sync wirelessly and move lots of media around. Usually a wired sync can fix it.monospaced

- my iPad Air keeps on crashing in safari and annoys me with iCloud prompts. No Apple, I don't need to back up a device with nothing but a browser on it.mekk
- I am also totally fed up with the App stores on all three platforms. It's an advertising nightmare and a stronghold of shitty software.mekk
- Turn off the iCloud prompts then. Jesus.monospaced
- The android stores have no shitty software in them though. Jump shipmonospaced
- Apple gives a shit about your settings: https://discussions.…mekk

My Surface is wonderful. I can do ANYTHING I want on it, anywhere.
When I pick up my ipad it feels like a sad joke - just a big phone that does even less.

My iPad works great and never has any of these problems...

@formed... I'm thinking about buying a surface pro, to use it as a cintiq (connected to my monitor) or as a sketchbook with, ai, etc...
How is working for you? I'm on a W10 workstation + OsX on vmware, got a intuos but need a cintiq or a valid alternative for the lots of ps and illus i do...

The only thing I use my iPad for is to play World of Tanks.
Running out of space is probably intentional so you have to buy more iCloud Space.
