To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.

I try to download an app and it tells me that there is not enough room when there is plenty

An app that is 1.9 GB is saying that there is not enough room to download, even though i have around 3 GB free.

The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
You need to delete some files and not run with an almost full storage.
How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Transferring lots of small files to a USB - not enough space when there is!

I regularly transfer about 200-250 files (photos of about 1.2MB each) to a USB (size 2GB). I really want to just "Select All" then drag them onto the USB, but if I do this, I get the error message that there is not enough space. I end up having to select about 40 files at a time and drag each group, wait for them to transfer, then drag the next group. This turns a 2 second job into a 3-5 minute job. On of my iMacs has just started allowing me to do even less - only about 10 at a time, turning this job into a 10-15 minute job. I have discussed this with my USB provider, his only suggestion is I use a Windows computer, as he specifically tests the USBs he sends me for this error, and he does not have a problem with several different Windows computers! I usually import the photos with iPhoto then drag in, but it doesn't seem to matter if I take them straight off the SD card, I get the same error no matter which system I use. Please help! I sometimes need to do this 40 times in a day for 40 different customers.

I'm taking the photos OFF an SD card (straight from the camera) and need to get them ON to a USB drive. Taking the photos OFF the SD card is no problem. I either import to iPhoto, or drag them all into a file, no problem. It is getting them ON to the USB where there is the problem.
Thanks, hope this clarifies what I meant!

Not enough ram when there is

I'm trying to open a small .pdf file
Photoshop is telling me it wont open, that there is not enough ram.
It's not on all files, I tried re-saving the file it is messing up on but it still does it.
I'm running the newest macbook pro with 16g ram
300gig of space is available.
I tried rebooting the computer.

What exactly is the error message that comes up? Is it something like - "Not enough disk space to open"
The actual error message is really helpful in questions like this

Macbook 13 retina says "not enough space" when there is.

My macbook has 236GB free space and I am trying to copy a 180BG file-which I do all the time-from a Thunderbot drive. Today it is telling me ther eis not enough space. I went in to check permissions...the user account I sign in under is not listed and it says "read only". There are three users-System(read & write), everyone(read only) and a mysterious user named "wheel" (read only) which I deleted. Is the user name I sign in under actually "system"? I could have sworn it actually used to have my user name from the sign in screen...
Am I even barking up the right tree that permissions could be the issue for the "not enough space" issue? Any help appreciated.
thanks

Not enough memory - when there actually is!

Hi
I'm getting confused with my new Nokia 5200. I've managed to transfer some tracks from my pc to my phone, but it says that I don't have room to transfer everything that I'm asking it to. The music manager says that all the tracks are about 450mb and I've got a 2gb microSD card in there. Does anyone know whether I have to activate the memory card in some way? Failing that I thought I'd just delete eveything and start again, but I can't even work out how to delete tracks! Any advice would be great! I've never had an mp3 player before, but I thought it would be easier than this!

follow this:
Remove your MMC from the phone.
Restart your phone.
Insert your MMC in the Phone by turning your phone OFF.(make sure the contacts of the MMC & phone is clean and the MMC fitted in the slot correctly)
then turn it ON again.
go to TOOLS > MEMORY
you should see your MMC information there.
IF YOU STILL CAN'T FIND YOUR mmc THERE, try to format the MMC in a different Phone or in a card reader (if you have) using FAT file system.
then insert it to your phone and turn it ON.
you should have your problem SOLVED if there is no faults happened to your MMC.

My iPad and iPhone4s both state "NOT ENOUGH STORAGE" and can't backup due to not enough iCloud storage available in the cloud. I have sync my phone but I still get the msg - I will sync the iPad as well - both devices receive my mail as well as Acer pc.?

I have sync my phone to my pc using itunes, but I still get the msg on the phone - could it be that the ipad and phone both receive the same mail? I did go into Settings - icloud - and shut off Mail on phone - I will sync the iPad as well - both devices receive my mail as well as Acer pc.? thank you -

Not having enough storage in your iCloud account isn't caused by using your iCloud email account on your device. It may be caused by having lots of email in your account though.
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to see what is taking up the space in your account.

Why doesn't my program open? Error message states "not enough RAM" but I have 5 GB avail

I have Elements 2.0. Have been using it on 3 computers. Suddenly this laptop won't even open the program. Error message states "not enough RAM" but I have 5 GB available. How can I fix this. No problem on other computers with same Windows 7, Elements 2.0. This laptop is an HP. Others are Toshiba & Dell.

Even if you have 5GB of RAM, PSE can't make use of all of it because it is likely to be a 32 bit program (if not 16 bit). PSE2 is very old made for Windows 2000 or Windows 98 but this was all before my time so my facts must be wrong here.
I am amazed that you managed to install it on Windows 7 in the first place.

Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

Mountain lion has killed my mac book pro. After downloading and trying to install, I am stuck in a loop of "not enough room to install on this disk" and not being able to access the old disk's data to open up space.

Nope. It just opened the installer and stayed in the same loop.
It tells me to choose a startup disk but the only option is the HD which it will not use because it says it cannot gather enough information.
Eveything was working fine until the mountain lion failed install.

I've attempted to download Illustrator, but the message is that Adobe no longer supports the system on my computer. What do I do? Is there a way to receive an older version that does download on my system?

Without knowing anything about your computer we can't advise specifically. You can download CS6 versions in CC by checking the "older versions/ other versions" stuff in teh bottom section of the CC app's "Apps" tab, but that may not resolve your issues.

I deleted my itunes library (after backing up) now i want to restore from TM to my MBA but its saying there is not enough room even though the library is 22GB and there is 27GB free on my MBA??

Hi everyone,
I deleted my itunes library (after backing up to my time machine) to download a large torrent, now i want to restore my itunes library to my MBA from time machine but its saying there is not enough room on my MBA even though the library is 22GB and there is 27GB free on my MBA??

Here's something else to consider:
Since Snow Leopard, OS X uses a Decimal count for file size. iTunes however still uses a Binary count. What that means is: your iTunes library shows one size, while the folder shows another. Depending on the size of your library, this can be a pretty big difference.
Yours won't be that much, but it may be enough to prevent it from moving to the MBA from the TM.

Hello caitmcd,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
You can also update the phone through iTunes directly if you have the latest version of iTunes installed, 11.1.
You can download iTunes 11 here if needed:

Update to iTunes 10.3.1
After you have finished, you can re download your iTunes purchases without having to re purchase.
iTunes 10.3.1

I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2 I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?

I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?

generally you need 1.90gb
what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.
