The Trials & Woes of iPad Storage

 


The Trials and Woes of iPad Storage. Hello everyone. You know I love my iPad, but there's just one thing about it that has started to drive me a little batty. Yes, I'm talking about storage space.


The iPad reminds me of a tiny basement. You can have all the beautiful furniture you want, but if you don't have room to store your stuff, you'll end up with clutter everywhere. Everyone wants the newest model, the latest of technology, yet somehow we all end up getting a swift kick in the behind when we discover that we're out of storage space.

iPad Handles



 

When you update your iPad, you may like things as they are. I updated my iPad one day and something appeared that I did not like. It was an iPad handle. You can pull it out to have a split screen to look at something else while you’re into something else. I hate it. Sometimes it can really get in my way. While you are trying to place your cursor somewhere in GarageBand, for example, the handle gets in the way to pull in another place you were before on your iPad like the file screen where all of your files show. I do not like it at all. 



Saving Files from Apple iPad and Phone

What you will need is a hard drive for your iPad or phone. It can be a USB drive and there are different kinds. There are the USB stick kind or the bigger hard drives. 
The bigger hard drives have larger capacity and space to save more of your picture and video files.
The kind where the capacity reaches 2 TB, which means you can save nearly 500,000 photos or 20,000 short videos. You want the kind that is compatible with phones, laptops, iPad, and Computer.

Trying to Save Files From Apple iPad to USB

When I try to save my mp3 files from my iPad, I hook a USB camera adapter up to it and plug a USB external drive into the adapter. I have an Apple 🍎 iPad. It’s not easy trying to save my files. When I do, I discover that some of the files have disappeared out of my folders although the iPad may still recognize that the files are there. Some of the mp3 files will show 0.00. If I try to play an episode of my podcast titled iPad, it will play another episode instead titled computer. Things are very crazy. Then I have to go back and re-save my files again to the USB.

The next thing I have tried to do to save my files is simply compress and save my files as a zip file and email them to my computer. Then I can transfer them to my USB from the computer. Files can build up and take up space. Apple makes two copies of a file. One copy to your files app and another copy to your iCloud. When you run out of iCloud storage, Apple wants you to pay by the month for more storage. Your audio editor might save your files as MP4. You may need to convert them to mp3. That is more files taking up space, and you are left with so many copies. The best thing to do is make a final copy and erase all of the rest.
