Q: Increase i-mini music storage allocation?when loadin

Hi SonoraFish,

I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing or describing. If you are talking about the storage indicator in iTunes, this should show you how much you currently have stored on your iPad (not your potential storage allotment), as well as the amount of free space that can be used for any data, as noted below:

See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
