HT1657 My iPad says there isn't enough storage space, but even when I bought more storage, I got the same error message

I have the new iPad. I downloaded a movie a few weeks Ago with no problem.

Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

  • I'm trying to download Bioshock Infinite from the app store and get a message saying there isn't enough disc space; but the Bioshock support page says I only need 30G and I have 60 free on my hard drive

    Whoops, I think I should have posted my message here...Anyway, I'm trying to download Bioshock Infinite from the app store but get a message saying I don't have enough disc space.  The game requires 30 G and when I look at my internal hard drive it shows 60 G free. 
    What gives?

    It means you do not have enough Space on your Device and need to create More Space on Your Device by Deleting some items off your device.

  • My iCloud says there isn't enough storage space

    I've deleted all my music 300 photos and all apps and it still exactly the same!!? About to smash my phone.

    If iCloud says there is not enough storage, manage the storage on iCloud.  THis does not include any media.

  • It says there isn't enough storage on my iphone to take photos or update apps but there is?

    I keep trying to take photos and update apps but my phone keeps telling me there's not enough storage.
    In my settings on iCloud it says there is 15GB storage with 8.6GB available though?

    Hi
    Thanks for replying. In general it says 10.1MB available, 13.5GB used
    Does this mean I've got to delete my photos and other stuff off to make some room?

  • How can I stop a movie from downloading? There is no place to cancel it. It's been trying to download for 3 days and my iPad says there is not enough storage .

    How can I cancel a movie that has been trying to download for. 3 days?  When I click on ITunes ,it says I don't have enough space. I tried to buy more and it went to the iCloud.  Does anyone know how to cancel that movie?

    I'm sure that you know by now but buying iCloud storage didn't do you any good. iCloud storage is for backups, and can't be used for local storage and that is where you needed the storage.
    Have you tried deleting content on the iPad so that the download will resume? Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You can delete movies, TV Shows, and apps in there via the Edit button. You can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. Delete it now, and download it again later when you need it. Bear in mind that whe. You delete apps, you delete the data in the apps as well.
    You might be able to pause the movie download by going to the Downloads tab in iTunes - tap on the movie icon and see if it will pause. Or try swiping across the progress bar to see if you can delete the download.

  • I got a new phone and it won't back up anything on to my icloud because it says there isn't enough storage space, can I delete old back ups?

    I am not good with technology at all. I upgraded my 3GS to a 4S and now it won't back up to my iCloud. it keeps telling me that the icloud is full and I don't have enough room to back it up.I was wondering if there is away to delete the old back ups in order to free up space?

    If you no longer need the backups, you can delete them by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of device you want to delete the backup for (under Backups at the top), then tap Delete Backup.  This will permanently delete it from your account, freeing up the storage it occupies.

  • I replaced a 5C with another 5C, but the new says there isn't enough storage to download all my apps or update IOS.  Why would it be different if it's the same phone?  I deleted several apps to try to make more room but it still isn't working.

    Hi CBarreca,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have a new iPhone that is giving you storage space warnings when trying to add all of your content back to it. In this situation I would recommend using the attached article to help figure out where the storage on your iPhone is being used.
    See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Cheers,

    iCloud backups only give you 5GB  free if your backup is larger then 5GB then you need to purchased more storage.

  • HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

    I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

  • My iPad air is missing some apps from my phone. It keeps saying, " there is not enough storage available to download..."

    My iPad air is missing some apps from my phone. It keeps saying, " there is not enough storage available to download...." I purchased additional storage twice, my device now shows 18GB free of a total 25GB, and still I cannot download apps I've had for yrs

    iCloud space is for backup only.
    You need more local storage; free up space on iPad:

    My iTunes Library is on my computer, I have done a backup manually, and all of my music is on an external hard drive (as well as my iTunes library).

    Thanks a lot Recycle bin is empty, I will move some files from the C drive to an external hard drive, then do the update, and then move the files back. Any files you recommend not moving to the external hard drive at all?

  • "can't be copied because there isn't enough free space"

    I am trying to transfer files to a USB stick that I've been using for ages. About halfway through it won't transfer any more files and says they "can't be copied because there isn't enough free space". USB stick is totally empty and the size of the files is much less than the capacity of the stick, so what's the problem?
    I have freed up 6 GB on my hard drive (unused capacity now 79/500 GB) and have repaired disk permissons. Repaired USB stick, tried a different stick, turned it off & turned it back on again. I'm at a loss as to what to try next.
    Also I could transfer the entire folder across, but then when I tried to get the files out of the folder directly onto the drive, the same thing happened. Also they all seem to be fine and I can access them on a PC which is why I need them on the stick.

    I just ran into this issue moving around large VHD images. I found the cause to be local time machines backups. Time machine seems to keep backups on your local (i.e boot) drive by default, in addition to your nominated Time Machine drive. This is meant to be transparent and only consume free space, but clearly it's not smart enough to free the space when you actually need it.
    If you launch the "System Information" utility, on the "Storage" tab you should see a large portion of your primary hard-disk consumed by "Backups".
    To disable local time machine backups, run the folllowing at the terminal:
        sudo tmutil disablelocal
    This should immediately free up the space. If not, try running a Time Machine backup manually to kick it into gear. You may re-enable local Time Machine backups with the following:
        sudo tmutil enablelocal
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I cancel a download for a rented iTunes movie because there isn't enough storage space

    How do I cancel a download for a rented iTunes movie because there isn't enough storage space?

    Purchases cannot be cancelled, but if you cannot clear enough space to allow the download, go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps there will be something they can do for you.
