Updated iPad Air today with no issues. My available storage went from 2.93 GB up to 4.18 GB after the upgrade on a 16 GB drive.

The new settings menu group I talked about is at the top left of the screen, see screen capture attached. Pressing this group item brings up a menu page wherein you can edit Apple ID, iCloud, and iTunes and App Store settings. To be honest I thought this was just a label at first as it does not look like the other menu items. It is easy to overlook it as it does not resemble the other menu items in style.

How can I update my iPad 4 without using iTunes? OTA is not working.

I just updated my iPad Pro 9.7 32 GB. So far everything looks okay. The one weird thing, which I also noticed with my iPad Mini 2 update yesterday, is the storage amounts don't seem to jive at all because they vary between device About menu and iTunes amount shown. The iTunes amounts seem way off IMO, but no surprise there. I think iTunes is a suckfest when it comes to anything but music stuff. I don't use it for music, do maybe it sucks at that too. But it definitely sucks at being a library for all the iPad files.
Here are my results from today's update of my iPad Pro 9.7 32 GB. I show both iOS 9.2 results and iOS 9.3 results on the iPad and in iTunes. iOS 9.2
iOS 9.3
iTunes with iOS 9.2
iTunes with iOS 9.3
I think Apple has some 'splaining to do about their numbers being different on the device and in iTunes. Last edited by jswinden; 03-29-2017 at 02:20 PM. |

Why are you adding capacity (maximum usable storage) to available (unused storage)?

Probably because I was up most of the night with bad storms going through the area. Not fully awake yet! But the numbers are still off between what the devices show and what iTunes shows. Not sure why, but they are.

I see a similar discrepancy between the numbers reported in the settings of my iPad and what iTunes reports when connected.

Could it be something as simple as one of them regarding 1MB as 1024k and the other as 1000k, or something like that? Such a thing is very common.

Caved in, updated 6S, 5S, iPad Air 2, and Watch Series 1. Havent done AppleTV yet. So far it seems to me that things are just a bit smoother than they were. Eg Hyphen reader (and other apps) loading faster, or, at least, seeming as if they load faster. I guess the cruft cleanout helped

Might be sparse files. They are a new feature of the APFS. iOS itself might be reading it wrong.
