App Size, Cloud Symbol and Hiding

Hi everyone,
I have an 8GB iPhone 4 and I am struggling for space. By looking in the usage section, I can see for example, that Facebook has a size of 126MB plus its documents and data whereas in the App Store it's around 60MB. This continues with most of my apps being 2-3 times the size of the apps in the App Store which stacks up to a lot of memory.
I've tried deleting the apps and reinstalling them but they just come back the same size. I thought it might be to do with the cloud symbol showing that I had already downloaded it so I hid all of my apps in iTunes and now all the clouds are gone but pressing install still gives me an app twice the size.
Is there any way to change this so I can have the space I feel should be there?
Thanks!

iTunes and apps stores are currently down globally. Try again later.

  • HT1386 After last syncing between iPad3 and iMac, many books I have purchased have cloud symbol and won't open. Afraid to resync as one very large book didn't sync to iMac and afraid of losing it. How do I get these books back?

    1. After my last synching between iPad3 and iMac, most of my downloaded books have a cloud/arrow symbol and won't open. Most PDF files in iBook just disappeared. I am afraid to resync as a book I recently downloaded, which took up a big chunk of my 5GB download limit, doesn't appear on my computer and when I try to sync, I get the message that all my books will be replaced.
    2. Is there any way to read the books downloaded to my iPad on my iMac? Can I download an Ap for that?
    I am really disappointed in the interface between my iPad and iMac and the fact that I can't selectively delete items (music and photos) that I have synched to the iPad. It seems like Apple if going toward the Microsoft method of trying to do everything for you, rather than allowing the user to manually do things.

    In iBooks on the iPad every book you purchased will be on the Purchased Book collection. Those books that you have purchased in the past but for some reason are not actually on your iPad are still available in the bookstore. They will have the cloud symbol on the corner. You can tap on that book to download it again. You will not be charged for doing this.

  • Problems with app sizes in iTunes and on an iTouch

    My iTouch is showing a large amount of memory for apps (10.5G worth shows on the capacity bar at the bottom of iTunes when iTouch is connected).  However, this seems way too much.  I even went through the app list (shown on iTunes when his iTouch is connected) and added up all the apps that it's supposed to be sync'g.  They add up to less than 3.5G of apps (which is more in line with where I think the memory usage should be).
    Is there something I'm missing here?  I have deleted a number of apps from the iTouch and ensured that they're "unchecked" in iTunes so they're not resyncing when I connect the iTouch, but it doesn't seem to make a difference in the memory usage.

    I had an issue with a phantom 6G of storage space being used by TV shows even when no TV shows were on the iPod!  I could make the 6G appear and disappear by checking and unchecking the "Sync TV Shows" checkbox.
    This is what I did to resolve the issue.  First I did a simple Reset (Home and on/off until the Apple logo appears) and it didn't help.  Then I did a Restore with a reload from the backup and that also accomplished nothing.  Then, I did a Restore as new with NO reload from backup and that resolved my issue.
    IF you choose to try the same thing, here are some cautions.  Make absolutely certain that all apps, music, movies, etc. are present in the iTunes library.  Also make absolutely certain that all "regular" data, such as photos, pdf files, Word files, etc. are present and accessible somewhere on the computer's hard drive.  Be aware that you will probably lose all game data (scores, etc.).  I did not investigate a solution for that because I don't play many games and I really don't care about the game history.  Finally, be forewarned that it is a bit tedius recreating all your folders and putting each app where you want it.

  • IPhone 5 (16GB) iOS 7.0.4 Mail App size is 1GB and continuously increasing. How to reduce the size of the Mail App?

    Hi,
    I am using an iPhone 5 (16GB) iOS 7.0.4.
    Currently the size of the mail app is 1GB and is continously increasing, even though the advanced settings in the mail account have been set as following:
    MOVE DISCARDED MESSAGES INTO:
    Deleted Mailbox
    DELETED MESSAGES:
    Remove: After one day
    INCOMING SETTINGS:
    Delete from Server: When removed from Inbox
    The problem that I am facing is that only a few emails reside on my iPhone as I keep deleting emails, which are also deleted from the server automatically because of the settings as above, which is perfectly fine. The emails are deleted from the Mail app and only a very few of them are visible which I have not deleted as yet, and all is fine till here. The problem is that the size of the Mail app is more than 1GB and is continously increasing, when i check the size of the Mail app in the Settings > General > Usage section.
    When I search for an email that has previously been deleted from the search feature by swiping down in the main page, it still comes up in the search, and upon clicking the searched email, it takes me into the Mail app, however, the mail is not there. I have tried searching for emails which were deleted weeks ago, and they still come up in the search feature, however, they DO NOT open in the Mail app when i click them within the search feature in the main page.
    Up until a couple of months ago, the size of the Mail app was about 5.2GB and at this point I had no space on my 16GB iPhone 5, therefore I resetted my phone two months ago, and after a complete reset of the iPhone 5, the size of the Mail app went back to 0.3KB (like it was brand new out-of the box); however, within a matter of two months the size of the Mail app has now exceeded 1GB and is continously increasing, as I receive alot of emails which is why I delete them on daily basis and even delete them from the Trash folder (mailbox).
    I have read alot of blogs and even checked with other friends using similar settings on the same model, however, I just cant seem to figure this out. I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this issue as I dont want to have to reset it again after another 2-3 months.
    There are practically only 14-15 emails on my Mail app with not alot of KBs for these emails, and the trash folder is also empty, but the size of the Mail app is still not reducing. Please help!!

    Shoaib Malik

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

  • Songs on my phone but with cloud symbol in music app

    Hi,
    first time, first question.
    iphone 5s 16GB
    iOS 8.1.3
    MacBook Pro Early 2011
    MacOS Yosemite 10.10.2
    Question:
    I have iTunes Match and i have this problem since a few months.
    I download songs of any playlist on my phone and then some songs are still having the download(cloud symbol) or after while it happens.
    I know that iOS delete songs if the storage reaches it's limits but i tested it with more than 1 GB free space.
    The songs are download completely - i checked the iTunes Store App but only a few are then available(i turned on airplane mode and the songs which aren't really downloaded are grey) in the Music App.
    When the Download is happening the symbol seems to complete the download and then starts new or the cloud symbol is coming back - it's endless but after a while the songs are gone in the Itunes App Download Section(List is empty)
    The weird thing is - if i check the storage settings where i can download particular songs or audiobooks etc. - the songs are THERE as available songs ready for deleting!
    I also deleted the playlist and created a new one - no change some songs are there
    I have this problem since i have itunes match, first the deleting from itself and now this - a while ago i wiped my iphone clean and installed everything new(no backup) and also i turned of itunes match on my Mac and my iphone.
    No Change.
    Thanks for reading.

    what do i do?
    And i dont know how to delete songs?

    You must have a counterfeit iPod since that latest model sold by Apple is the 5G.
    Assuming y have a 5G with iOS 7, that means those songs are available for download via iCloud. To download just tap on the song/icon when an internet connection is availalbe.
    Of yo do not want those to show, go to Settings>iTunes and App Store>SOW ALL and turn off Music.

  • I have random songs in my Ipod app that have a cloud symbol.  How do I remove them from my library?

    Ever since I purchased an iphone 5s, I've had random world music songs in my ipod app.  They have a cloud symbol next to them, and I can not delete them from my library on the phone.  They are not in my itunes or anywhere that I know of.  How do I get rid of them?

    Those are songs that are on your purchase history of your media content; so in a sense they aren't really there on the device or taking up space.

  • Reducing app size and using memory

    Building with release preference Blank App template will give you a ~200kb .exe, which in running state use ~7mb of memory.
    It has a huge list of external dependencies.
    So, is it possible to reduce app size and using memory?
    Or, how safely unlink from app headers that really didnt used?

  • App size says one thing in it's info and another thing on the sync page.

    I'm trying to sync my new application to my ipod touch. on the store it says that the app is 576mb
    if I go to the apps section of itunes and right click and select "Get info" it says 576.5mb
    in the apps tab for the ipod touch it's size is 1.22gb
    I know this is a universal app, but it shouldn't be installing the ipad assets, right? because that's the ONLY thing I can think of.
    My ipod has 860mb free and it won't let me download it OR sync it to my ipod.

    the app is Puzzle Quest 2, by the way.
