Adding storage to iCloud
If I add storage to the iCloud and and my iPhone 4 is backed up the iCloud, will that free up more space on my phone? I want to upgrade to iOS6, but I can't, nor can I update my apps because I have no more room on phone. I have a 16gb with only .79 gb left on the phone.
And how do I get rid of the photos on my phone short of deleting each one individually? I shut off Photo Stream and stopped syncing the photos.
icloud is not a storage service as much as it is a backup and syncing service. Most data that goes to icloud also has copies on the device, so you won't be gaining extra memory on the device.
As for photos...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. Once safely on a computer, you can delete many of them from the device. You should be able to view photos in the Photo app in a grid layout, hit Edit and tap those you want to delete, then tap the trash can. That's as fast as you can delete photos, I think, unless someone has a way to delete the cameral roll in one tap.
The bottom line is that if you device is nearly full, you'll just have to delete files from it. Video and photos are a good place to start, since they can be synced and saved on a computer.

Purchasing more Storage on iCloud will not increase the Storage Capacity of your iPad. -
I have my own icloud account separate from my family's apple ID for itunes. I need more storage for icloud...do I have to pay a separate $20/ month to get more storage or does the $20 include all members of the plan?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If your iCloud account uses your family's Apple ID, you will pay $20/year for all your family members. If your iCloud account uses a different Apple ID than your family's Apple ID, you will pay only for you -

How do I pay for my 20g of additional storage in iCloud
i have the annual additional storage in iCloud. It expires today and I can't find out how to purchase it for another year
It will renew automatically on the same credit card used for the original purchase. Apple should email you about the renewal.

Can I set up storage in iCloud for the entire family under 1 account?

I purchased additional storage for my phone not realizing it was storage for icloud. Can I get a refund?
You cannot buy additional storage for your iphone at all.
You can contact itunes support and ask if they will allow a refund. -
I tries to backed up and storage on iCloud but its just shows down below "Estimating time remaining" but theres no time remaining !!! And i connect to the Wifi already and i buy a storage capacity !!! But its not backing so what should i do in that case !!!?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that your device is correctly connected to the wifi/internet (settings > wifi)
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
If this doesn't help, try turning off some items for back up in a pattern to try to establish if your problem is being caused by specific data on your device.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable. -
I want to use my 5 GB of storage in iCloud to back up the documents on my MacBook Pro. Is this possible? If so, how is it done from my MacBook Pro? I can't find an upload method.
