Can't sync photos because "not enough memory is available"

Hi there!
I updated my iPhone 3GS 32GB to iOS4 yesterday.
When it came to syncing my Apertue Photo Library, it comes up with the same error message all the time after optimizing a handful of picture for the device:
The iPhone "*** iPhone" cannot be synced.
There is not enough memory available.
Though I have over 10 GB free memory.
I have used the iPhone as an external USB drive with "iPhone Explorer", and I used most of the 10GBs then, but deleted all the files. First, I thought they weren't deleted properly, but that isn't the case.
Oh and I can sync movies, music etc. The problem only occurs to my pictures...

Are you Mac or PC?
On the PC I read to go to the *Device Manager*, then highlight the Computer and then in the Action Menu click *Scan for Hardware Changes*
This seemed to fix the problem for me. I also restored the system. Not sure what order since I was just trying everything!
Good Luck

    Hello Pushtheriver,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:
    Get help using iCloud storage
    This may also help:
    Understanding iOS device capacity
    You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
    If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • 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.?

    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 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.

  • ITunes could not backup the ipad .. because not enough freespace is available on this computer

    I have been using ITunes for years and reliably backing up my iPad 3 to it under ios 5 without a problem, on an iMac running OSX 10.6.8
    After updating to ios 6 all attempts to sync (backup) my iPad to iTunes cause iTunes to fail with 'iTunes could not backup the ipad <name> because not enough freespace is available on this computer'
    There is approx 25Gb used on my 64Gb iPad. There is 125Gb free on my iMac hard disc. My iPhone (ios6) and iPod Touch both back up successfully.
    I have tried deleting old backup files, repairing permissions, rebooting iMac and IPad, syncing over wifi and USB, encrypted and unencrypted but in all cases the back seems to run fine, then gets to the 'applying...; stage and fails with the above message. It has to be a bug doesn't it :-)

    OK I managed to free up more space on my iMac HD to 148Gb. The sync and backup then ran OK! Afterwards there was still about 144Gb free. So it would seem that in order to create an about 5Gb backup file there needs to be about 30 times as much free space on the mac. This can't be right surely?

  • HT4910 If I delete tv show from iPad because not enough memory can I redownload later

    I've downloaded a tv series onto my iPad but not all the episodes downloaded due to the amount of memory on my iPad and what was downloaded was not in order of episodes. Can I delete a few of the episodes and then redownload them at a later date?  Thanks

    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.

  • It won't let me sync due to "not enough memory"

    So I got a new laptop & home shared everything.
    When I plugged my iPhone to my new iTunes, it asked me if I wanted to merge or replace the info on my phone. I was panicing because I didn't want to erase my pictures and contacts so I said merge thinking I could select the things I wanted to merge.
    Now that I want to sync the music & erase some of the things I had before, it won't let me.
    It'll say theres not enough room.
    I've already tried everything that the support section instructed at the apple website.
    Does anyone know how to change it so I could just erase the old music & put my new stuff?
    I''ll appreciate any help.

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - After all the stuff is on your computer, connect the iPod to yur computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • Can't download itune movie, not enough space 6gig available?

    Can anyone help, I have approx 6 gig of space available, but I cannot download a movie I purchased from iTunes, I get the message not enough space available, use settings to manage?

    Both are true.
    Your have lost of iCloud space.
    The problem is you need space on the iPhone.
    On the iPhone
              Setting > General > Usage select Storage
    See what is taking up space on the iPhone.
             Delete what you don't need.

  • Can't sync my ipod not enough free space!

    I went to download/ sync some more cd's on to my laptop and got a new message saying that I don't have enough "free space" to hold all the items in the itunes library! It had stated (additional 820.3 MB required), which I know I need more than that. Does anybody know how to get more MB's for this cause I don't understand how it could run out of space so quick- it's not like I've loaded it up already, besides this Ipod should hold double what's on there!  This is a new laptop too, so I don't understand any of this - can someone explain this and tell me what I need to do before I make a permanent residence at Apple??? Thanks, Julie

    No longer a problem. After leaving a while and trying again the iPad and iMac successfully synced.

  • Not Enough Memory when saving to .eps format

    In AI-CS4 OS X 10.4.11 Dual 2.7 Power PC G5 4GB DDR SDRAM
    When I try to save my .ai file to .eps format it get the message
    "Can't save the illustration. Not enough memory was available or an object was too complex. Reducing the size of this document window"
    If I convert the text to outlines there is no problem.
    Also if I save the .a1 as a CS3 version then open it in AI-CS3 I can save it as an .eps file.
    Any insight on how to fix this issue would be appreciated.
    Marla

    It doesn't have anything to do with available memory/harddisk space/RAM. It is just an error message that really doesn't tell what actually IS the problem, only that there is some kind of problem.

  • HT1535 When I plug my ipad into the computer to sync a message pops up saying it can not sync because there is not enough memory in the itunes library. Do I need to increase the memory in my itunes library and how?

    When I plug my ipad into the computer to sync a message pops up saying that the ipad can not sync because there is not enough memory on the itunes library. Do I need to increase the itunes library memory and how do I do this, or do I just need to trasnfer things out of itunes? Thanks.

    Try
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with              
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
    New cable and different USB port?
    Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

    Thank you very much for your help anyway.
    Cheers everybody !

  • I'm trying to add pictures to my ripped movies in my library but it keeps telling me it can't save the library because there's not enough memory. There is plenty on my hard drive, is there a setting that lets you increase the amount of memory?

    I get a window popping up that says "The library iTunes file cannot be saved. There is not enough memory available.".  I have 980GB free, I don't understand how to change a setting or what ever is causing it.

    Hello Wyodor,
    thanks for your reply on my question.
    You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
    And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
    Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
    No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
    and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
    But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
