Help! My iPad4's memory is shrinking by the day. Yesterday it was on 10.2g now today is 9.7g. I've not downloaded any apps, songs or videos. It just seems to slip down each day for no reason. Any answers will be appreciated. Cheers!

You need not worry. It is just the background data of the Apple native apps taking up space in your iPad. For example, opening your email account with the Mail app will start downloading the emails, thereby taking up space in your iPad.
SSorry I don't understand. It's now down to 8.5g. I always keep on top of my mail so I can't see how it's using so much data.
When you go to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage > what does it show as the largest users? That would give you (and us) a clue. Also you could connect your iPad to iTunes on your computer and see what it shows on the usage bar. If it is Mail, then deleting your mail account and rejoining it will clear the cache of attachments (you will need the password for your email account). If iTunes shows Other as a large amount you could do a backup to iTunes and then a complete Reset and Restore from the iTunes backup. This will free a lot of the Other amount but as you use it further that amount will grow again.
HI! As you can see by my apps there's no way I'm using over 4g of memory. And today it's slipped down to 8.3g. I did restore my iPad and I think I had approx 10.5g free. But for some reason it's just slipping down each day. Probably a trip to the Apple Store is the best solution.
memory loss!
