TommyLog TECH – Spring Cleaning Your IOS Device

Spring CleaningHey kids, it’s Tommy and for today’s TommyLog TECH I want to talk about doing a little spring cleaning on your IOS devise. Last night I was watching a movie with my sweetheart on my iPad. A quarter of the way though the movie I got an error message saying that I was out of memory. How could that be?  I have a 32 GB IPad Air and I should have plenty of free storage space.

Well enough of this, I’m going to do some spring cleaning here. What I did applies to any late model IOS device, iPad, iPod Touch or iPhone.

First you need to make sure you have a good backup. I use Apple’s iCloud service  but you can use iTunes too. Here’s a great article from apple on backing up you iDevice https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203977

After you have verified and backed up your devise you need to reset it. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201274

After resetting, reload your saved settings and apps from either your iCloud or iTunes backup and BAM!

It’s that simple- and welcome back free space 🙂 BEFORE 1.25 GB free space – AFTER 15.4 GB free space.
