App Store says I have insufficient storage to download an app. Storage says I have enough local space for the app. What do I do?

Cannot download an app because of insufficient storage, but the phone has plenty of local storage. Is this an incorrect diagnosis by the App Store? What do I do?

Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

    Follow this instruction exactly to the last line.  It worked on mine.

     check if you have read & write permissions for your iTunes music (or media) folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. if permissions settings check out, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so 
     now try consolidating again.

  • I have an apple ID for the South African iTunes store how do I get one for the US store?, I have an apple ID for the South African iTunes store how do I get one for the US store?

    I have an apple ID for the South african i Tunes store.  How do I get one for the US one?  I want to use Mind Snacks.

    You will need a valid billing address in the US and be in the US when you want to buy anything from it. You can try requesting that it be added to the South African, but ultimately it's the app's developer that will have to grant Apple a licence to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

    Also why won't iTunes recognize my iPod Touch since updating to the latest version?  I have a PC and can no longer sync my iPod bc it never shows up under devices.

  • HT1725 i don't have enough disc space for this movie. how do i get my money back?

    I tried to rent a movie but I don't have enough disc space. How do I get a refund?

    Hey veo1,
    I found the following information about that error message:
    These messages occur if permissions are incorrect on your designated music folder or on a folder inside your designated music folder. Permissions are settings that determine who can read, write to, or execute a file or folder on your computer. Every file and folder on your hard disk has an associated set of permissions.
    Look here for help in correcting the permissions on folders:

  • IWorks not purchased in app store, now I have to pay again for the apps??

    Long ago I purchased iWork together with my laptop (macbook pro). Now, I get a message in Pages, Numbers and Keynote that there is a new version available. So I wanted to download it, but the app store makes me pay for them! The full price! Why? The app store does recognise that I have the iWorks apps, but says I didn't purchase them in the app store, so I have to pay for them again! This is really stupid, does anyone know how this is possible? And what I can do to update without having to pay a lot of money to buy all the three apps again?

    There are several reasons why the updates don't show as free for those who already have iWork '09 installed.
    1. You must have iWork '09 apps installed & they must be updated to the x.3 version. You can also download the standalone updater from this page.
    2. If you are not using English as the primary language for your Mac, change to English & run Software Update. You can then switch back to your preferred language.
    3. Go to Mac App Store (MAS) > Click on Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads. You will need to individually click into each application > Click update > enter in your Apple ID & password and then it will start updating.
    4. Open App Store on your Mac & look at the buttons under Keynote, Pages & Numbers. If it does not say “Update” click Account under Quick Links, enter your password & click “View Account.”  Next, click the “Reset” button to the right of “Reset all warnings for buying and downloading” at the bottom of this page, & click Done. Check your updates tab & iWork & iLife updates should now appear.
    These are the ones I've seen work for others.

  • HT1222 I am trying to update my software. It tells me it cannot upgrade because of the amount of storage that I have. I upgraded my storage and now I have plenty of space for the upgrade . It is still giving me the same message. How can I get my iPad to u

    My iPad 2 software will not update. It tells me that I need more storage. I have purchased more storage and I still get the same message. Can some one please help?

    If you've purchased extra iCloud space then that gives you extra storage for your backups. How much space do you have on your actual iPad : Settings > General > About > Available, and what iOS version do you currently have on your iPad ?

  • TS3297 i keep getting the error-5000 when trying to download my music purchases, it's says I don't have enough access privledges for this operation what can I do

    I keep getting this message when trying to download music purchases on my netbook
    error-5000 not enough access priviledges

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • The iTunes Library file cannot be saved.  You do not have enough access privileges for the operation.

    How do I stop the message above from displaying in iTunes?:

    The location of the iTunes Library file may be read-only or owned by a different user.
    Default locations:
    XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<login>\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Vista: C:\Users\<login>\Music\iTunes
    Windows 7: C:\Users\My Music\itunes
    Right click the iTunes folder and choose Properties
    Look at the Attributes and see if Read-Only is checked.
    Uncheck it and click OK, at the apply to all subfolders and files prompt, make sure all subfolders and files is selected and click OK.
    If your iTunes library saves now you are done.
    If it does not you will need to try on each directory above the iTunes directory.
    Of course if you are not using the default locations you'll have to alter the path to the one you find in iTunes Edit->Preferences, Advanced tab.

  • 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.

    I purchased a guns and roses album from itunes.  All songs did nt down load only some.  error message said i did not have enough access privledges for the operation whatever that means

    This refers to permissions on your computer which must have been changed. Start by using Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then do the following:
    Reset User Permissions and ACLs in Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    From the Utilities menu select Terminal. At the Terminal prompt enter: resetpassword. Press RETURN. When the window opens select your startup drive where it says "Select the volume containing the user account:" At the bottom of the window you will see, "Reset Home folder permissions and ACLs." Click on the Reset button.

  • What does it mean on ur iPhone say not enough local space

    I am having problem down load apps. My iPhone lets me I don't have enough local space. What does the mean

    Your iPhone can only hold so much information.  In fact, capacity is the only differentiating feature between different iPhone models (of the same vintage, of course).  In other words, you have too much stuff on your phone.  Delete some of it to make space.
