Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "Cannot take photo" there is not enough available storage to take a photo, etc? I have it hooked up to ICloud and the cameral roll???

Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "cannot take photo" there's not enough storage, but I have my phone/camera roll hooked up to Icloud and have purchased additional storage???

iCloud storage has nothing to do with remaining memory on the phone - only memory for backups and Photostream.  The photo has to first be stored on the phone and copies sent to iCloud.  If there is not enough available memory on the phone, the photo can't be taken.
To determine the remaining memory on the phone:
Settings > General > Usage > Storage
The Camera Roll is meant for temporary storage of photos, which should be imported to an app on your computer and deleted from Camera Roll.  You can then sync back those photos which you want to keep on the phone.
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

    The space you purchased is in iCloud. It is not on your phone, and there is no way you can use it directly on your phone. The phone comes with whatever memory you purchased it with (8, 16, 32 or 64 GB) and that number will never change. You can use iCloud memory for backups, for syncing your mail, contacts, calendars, notes and photos. You can also use it for storing non-iTunes music to stream back to the phone (iTunes music also, but the storage for that is free, and is not part of the storage you purchased)  and Documents and Data for apps that are iCloud enabled (such as Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps).
    Apple gives you 90 days of free telephone support when you buy an iPhone or iPad. I guess they figure that 3 months is enough time to get your startup questions answered. You also had the option of buying AppleCare, which would have extended the 90 days free telephone support to 2 years.
    You can still get free support from Apple by going to any Apple store, and from other users in this user-to-user support forum. And frequently user support is more useful than Apple's, because users don't have Apple's lawyers overseeing everything that is said by Apple employees.

  • Why does my Iphone 4 keep telling my that my apple password is incorrect even after I have just changed and rest my password?

    Why does my Iphone 4 keep telling my that my apple password is incorrect even after I have just changed and rest my password?

    Sign out of your Apple ID then back in again with changes
    also delete ICloud then sign back in again with new password.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 keep telling me that storage is almost full?

    Since I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 it has been acting strange. I keep getting messages telling me that the storage is almost full yet when I check there is over 358mb of free space. I have tried restoring my iPhone but I still keep getting these error messages. Also I have noticed that I can no longer delete music on my iPhone, before I could just swipe and delete any track or album but now I can't. Another stupid 'improvement' of iOS 7 or is it just me being stupid?

    I'm having the same issue with my new iPhone 5S (iOS7).  Looked everywhere online for solution (including apple support website) and it seems that not many of us are having this issue.
    Were you able to fix it?  I restored my phone twice already, stopped and restarted my icloud backup save, deleted that save and remade another one, name it I've done it.  Oh and just so that we're clear, I have over 8 GB free on my iphone and over 3 GB free on my icloud.  I'm not that naive!
    Hope anyone has a solution!
    Thanks for your help!

  • TS3899 why does my iphone 5S keep telling me that my password is incorrect when I know it is correct?

    I have a new iphone 5S (I have and used iPhones for years) and am having trouble with my email. I am told that my passwords for several accounts are incorrect. I have checked the passwords and written them in to the mail accounts. I see the check marks appear telling me thst they have been verified, then a few monents later I get the passwork error mnessage again about passwords.
    What is going on and how do I rectify it?
    Ray

    I'm having exactly the same problem. Email accounts have worked on all previous iPhones. Just recently I'm getting error messages telling me the passwords are incorrect and would I like to re-enter them. I re-enter them and as always get all green checkmarks as if everything is fine. Next day, same error.
    Anyone have an explanation?

  • I have an IPad and want to download a movie.  I keep getting the message "There is not enough available storage to download your movie.  You can manage your storage in Settings".  I look in the settings and it says I have 5GB available?

    I have been trying to download a movie to my IPad.  I have never had trouble before but the last two times I get an error message that says "Cannot Download" There is not enough storage to download your movie.  You can manage your storage in Settings.
    When I go to my settings it says I have 5GB remaining storage and 5GB storage used.  I have deleted a lot of my music and games but am still having trouble.  Has anyone experienced this before?

    5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie.  Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with.  The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad.  You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.

  • TS1702 When I try to reload The Sims FreePlay (sister deleted accidentally) from Apps Store I keep getting an error message "There is not enough avaiable storage to download "The Sims FreePlay". I check my settings and I do have enough available storage.

    When i try to reload The Sims FreePlay (sister accidentally deleted) from App Store I keep getting error message. There is not enough available storage on my device but there actually is enought storage. Not sure why I cannot get App to reload. I have synced to my computer. Help!

    To download/install an app directly to the iPod you need available storage equal to about three times the file download size. Syncing the app to the iPod requires a lot less. Thus you either have to free up more storage or sync the app from your computer.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep sending emails instead of texts via iMessage?

    Why does my iPhone 4 keep sending emails instead of texts via iMessage?

    This was driving me crazy but I've cracked it!!
    Go to: Settings, Messages, Send & Receive.  My mobile number was greyed out and wouldn't allow me to select it.  My email address was highlighted but it also allowed me to "Add An Email".  I selected my current email address and it gave me the option to delete it.  Once I deleted my email address, it automatically reverted to my mobile number!!
    Hip hip hooray.  I can relax at last.

  • Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1update

    Why does my iphone 4 keep dropping wifi connection since ios5.0.1 update, it worked perfectly before, my wifes 3gs connects fine and stays connected while my £400 paperweight losses connection, thinking of going back to nokia! Sort it out apple!

    If the "oh so Great Apple" were to monitor these forums then they might see all the problems
    that the people who have paid good money for their devices are having, i suppose they can do no wrong
    In your eyes, i just thought that if you pay a lot of money for a product that works fine, and you update
    It with a firmware update that they kept going on about how good it was and it can do this and it can
    Do that, then i think they should sort it out. I don't care if i "don't deserve to be an apple owner" or not,
    The fact is i paid my money and it should do what its suppose to do, i moved from Nokia to Apple because
    The N97 was crap and i put up with it for too long, and they didn't do anything to fix the bugs they just stopped
    Selling it and basically said tough s**t, so now this is happened i hoped Apple whould be better but they seem
    To be just like the rest.

  • Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's ability to download emails or connect to the Internet?  I can power it off at when I restart I can send and receive but after awhile all I get is it trying to connect.

    Why does my iPhone 4 keep loosing it's connection to download emails or go onto safari?  If I power down the phone and restart it then it will connect but shortly after it will loose the connection and then just shows connecting in email or in safari unable to connect to the Internet 

    I'm guessing it's more likely a problem with your carrier's 3G network in the area. You shouldn't have to modify any settings for 3G to work consistently on a supported carrier.
    You can try turning off 3G data, with will switch over to Edge if it exists. If it does, it will be much slower than 3G, but I suppose faster than 0 is better than 0.
    I'd contact your carrier about it.

  • HT4623 I am unable to download the latest iOS 6.0.1 software to my iphone because there is not enough available space.  I try to sync my phone to itunes and says it doesn't recognize the device and to reset the iphone using Settings on the iphone.  Help?

    Here is my problem:
    I'm unable to download the latest software iOS 6.0.1 to my iphone 4 because there is not enough available space.  I tried to sync my iphone to itunes and it says, "itunes cannot read the contents of this iPhone.  Go to the Summary tab in iPhone preferences and click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings." 
    I backed up my data to icloud to ensure everything is backed up.  Is there a way to verify if data was really backed up in icloud?
    What else can I do in order to free up enough space to download the newest version iOS 6.0.1?  Current version on the iphone is 5.1.1 and there is only 1.6 GB of space remaining.  I need 2.5 to download the software.

    If you really are running OS 10.4.6 you have a long way to go!
    So, assuming you are not, what version of OS X do you have?

    Look at the USB stick in Disk Utility and check whether it may be partitioned or have other software on it taking up space.

  • Trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings

    trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings. What am I to do?

    The storage you purchased is in the cloud, and doesn't do anything with your pad.  Your problem is simply that you have too much content on your pad.   Go to settings, general, usage, and it will show you how much space you have avaliable on your pad.  If you let the screen sit for a while, all the apps will be displayed, and you can see how much stuff you have associated with each.
    You have to no option but to delete some of the content on your pad.  Videos, comics, pitcures and some music files use a lot of space.   The cloud allows you to leave stuff there, so you can get it when you need it.
