The storage on my iPad is almost full. I have deleted some apps, photos, and videos, but it still says almost full. How do I get more storage?

The only way to get more storage is to delete what is already on the iPad. There is no way to add more storage, short of buying a model that comes with higher capacity. Try a reset, by holding down both on/off button and Home button together until you see the Apple logo, then let go. You will lose no data, but it may register the space you have already deleted.

Instead of just deleting stuff on your iDevice if you're not sure you want to delete, if you have a computer with the latest iTunes on it, you can backup your entire iPad to your computer.

OR, you can choose to open up iCloud and backup most of your added, personal data to iCloud. If you need more than the free 5 GBs of data storage, you can pay a monthly data plan of $.99 a month for 50 GBs of iCloud data storage which should be sufficient for most of your data on your iPad.

Another method is to backup or store iDevice data to a local WiFi enabled, wireless portable hard drives or WiFi enabled wireless USB flash drives for storing your iPad data remotely, but locally.

You don't have to just arbitrarily delete data or anything else off of your iPad if you do not want to.

If you want to delete stuff off of your iPad, start with things you can redownload later. Remove apps that you haven't used in a long while.

Thin out any music or movies/videos you have on your iPad.

Remove any eBooks or eMagazines that you haven't read in a while. You can always redownload these at a future time.

Another thing you can consider trying

I have since found that my iPad 2 and 3 have become "like new out of the box" fast performance-wise by doing a variation on a normal erase-reset/restore procedure.

On both my iPad 2 and iPad 3, I did a backup to iTunes, then did and erase-reset restore as new iPad, first. Then, reconnected my iPads to iTunes on my Macs and then, I did a restore from backups.

The performance increase from this were noticeable and apreciable and both iPads are operating with a like new performance speed and, in addition, both iPad models have gotten an appreciable amount of free storage space returned to them.

Here is the procedure for this restore procedure and this has already worked, sucessfully, for one other iPad 2 user so far!

First, connect your iPad to USB and sync and backup your iPad to iTunes (make sure your iTunes is up to date).

Then disconnect/eject your iPad from the computer.

From just the iPad, in the Settings App under the General setting, look in the right column for Reset option, then erase and reset your iPad to completely erase your iPad and then, again, from the iPad, set it up as a new iPad setup to factory "out of the box" operation.

Then reconnect your iPad to the computer and make sure to cancel the syncing, by tapping the small X to the left in the top center iTunes display box.

iTunes should detect your iPad and ask if you want to set up as new.

Select OK. If iTunes begins to try and sync, again, cancel the sync.

Once your iPad is setup as new and your iPad appears in iTunes, again, CANCEL the sync, once more.

Select Restore from Backup instead and pick your last backup to restore back to your iPad.

Once the restore is complete, finish setting up the iPad and let it sync back to iTunes you can either cancel the sync, again or let it backup, again.

Then disconnect the iPad.

Do one hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons.

Once your iPad is back to the Home screen,

In the Settings App under the General tab, to the right under Spotlight sesrch, try disabling the search under apps that really do not need a search, like some games, remotes, apps that really do not need to be searched, etc., to reduce the list for Spotlight to search.

Try turning on Reduced Motion.

This is found in the Settings App in the General tab the left panel.

In the right panel look under Accessibility, the look for Reduce Motion and turn this feature "On".

You should see an appreciable performance increase on all iPad 2, 3 and 4 models.

In the Settings App under the General Tab, in the right column, look for Background App Refresh and turn this setting to "off".

If you purchased any music from iTunes, you will need to redownload that content back to your iPad for playing directly from your iPad and not from Apple Music servers.

Also, if your iPad contained a lot of images in the Photos app, these will take time to regenerate the original AND thumbnail images themselves inside of the Photos app when you first launch it.

The overall thing this will do is give your iDevices back some needed free data storage space, but this is supposed to return your iDevices back to near previous normal performance and operation.

Good Luck!
