Cannot take a photo
My iphone 5 can't take photo because there is not enough available storage to take a photo. What is the best solution to this if I want to keep all photos on my iphone 5?
If you wish to keep more stuff on your iPhone than permitted by the memory you need to buy a new larger memory iPhone and copy all to it.
Or you can buy some external WiFi memory and transfer part of the photos to it. It will not be all on your iPhone but you could still take all with you.

How do I stop updates uploading on my mobile please? Because I cannot take any photos at all on it as the iOS update program 7.0.3 is hogging up every inch of my mobile's space, not allowing me to keep my photos even though I've not that many anyway. Help?
Turn off Wifi in settings and then turn it on again; this will pause your device's update from updating.
To stop automatic updates of applications, go to settings, Itunes&appstore, scroll down to automatic downloads and turn off updates
Hope I've helped -
I cannot take clear photos with this camera. Not only that, but it seems the picture I take, is not the picture you wanted when you click the button. That is because it takes 1/2 second delay to take the photo. Terrible camera. I know it's a cell phone camera but dam. The least they can do is implement 'steady shot' software, so the photos come clearer
Message was edited by: TechFrenzyYou have to hold the camera very steady while shooting. Moving targets just do not come out clearly. You are right: the camera is less impressive than some other cell phone cameras, but it works well in most circumstances.
Other than cleaning the lens and holding it steady, I cannot think of anything you can do to improve image quality. -

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:

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.

On my Iphone I have 1-Camera roll, two Photo Libraries, and 1 delete. I cannot get rid of the Photo albums off the phone. I cannot take things off my Iphone using the itunes because it doesn't pull the Iphone up.

Correct. You don't use iTunes to get photos off the iPhone.

Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "cannot take photo" there's not enough storage, but I have my phone/camera roll hooked up to Icloud and have purchased additional storage???
iCloud storage has nothing to do with remaining memory on the phone - only memory for backups and Photostream. The photo has to first be stored on the phone and copies sent to iCloud. If there is not enough available memory on the phone, the photo can't be taken.
To determine the remaining memory on the phone:
Settings > General > Usage > Storage
The Camera Roll is meant for temporary storage of photos, which should be imported to an app on your computer and deleted from Camera Roll. You can then sync back those photos which you want to keep on the phone.

My phone keeps saying : CANNOT TAKE PHOTO .. There is not enough available storage to ate a photo .. Manage your storage in settings ... Errrrrrrrrr I'm so aggravated
The space you purchased is in iCloud. It is not on your phone, and there is no way you can use it directly on your phone. The phone comes with whatever memory you purchased it with (8, 16, 32 or 64 GB) and that number will never change. You can use iCloud memory for backups, for syncing your mail, contacts, calendars, notes and photos. You can also use it for storing non-iTunes music to stream back to the phone (iTunes music also, but the storage for that is free, and is not part of the storage you purchased) and Documents and Data for apps that are iCloud enabled (such as Apple's Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps).
Apple gives you 90 days of free telephone support when you buy an iPhone or iPad. I guess they figure that 3 months is enough time to get your startup questions answered. You also had the option of buying AppleCare, which would have extended the 90 days free telephone support to 2 years.
You can still get free support from Apple by going to any Apple store, and from other users in this user-to-user support forum. And frequently user support is more useful than Apple's, because users don't have Apple's lawyers overseeing everything that is said by Apple employees. -
I uploaded my photos to my computer. I now have all my albums and photo library on my phone. I cannot get the off my phone and cannot take pictures on my camera.
Connect your phone back and resync except this time uncheck all the albums from itunes when you sync. This will take all the albums off your phone and clear up space on your phone.

Cant take pics any more, error message sez "CANNOT TAKE PHOTO"
cant take pics any more, error message sez "CANNOT TAKE PHOTO there is not enogh available storage to take photo. You can manage your storage in Settings." but then I go there and cant do anyhting...?
I believe I have backed up all photos to my computor and I even just now bought more icloud storage for $20.00 a year and still nothing....?
I cant find a way to delete camera roll....?Guess what? The folks responding to you here are all just users like you, we don't work for Apple, so, you know, your pain is of little interest.
This has been the cause of your problems:
I checked in Iphoto preferences and the box to automatically import photos to Iphoto was unchecked.
What that means is you have connected your camera and iPhoto has imported references to your photos - links, in other words. It did not copy your files into the Library.
Then you took away the camera.
Now iPhoto is looking for the pictures.
You'll need to import the images again - but if you do you'll have masses of duplicates. So, trash the existing library, create a new one and start over.

I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3. I cannot find my photos and videos. I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out. Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos? I do nto care about anythign else.
Here are the steps I though I took this morning:
Backup iPad
Connect to iTunes and downlaod newest version of iTunes and then newest iOS
restart Vista Laptop
upgrade to newest iOS
I knew somethign was wrong when it took about 6 hours to upgrade the iPad
at the end it errored with this message error (-50), but the upgrade worked
I was expecting to see all my photos but didn't see them
I have tried a restore to a back up 2 times. The first time took 3 hours and just sort of timed out - it kept saying that there was an hour to go
I tried it again 2 hours ago and same message.
They are very valuable to me and so now I am panicking
Your help is much appreciatedHi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,

My Iphone 4s is 2 years and 3 months old. the battery drains very quickly, sometimes turning off once it reaches 40% if I open an app or say the camera.
I charge it more than twice a day now as the battery life is so poor.
Also, when I take a photo, the phot sometimes shows in the album, but if I click on it, it shows up as a white screen and I cannot send the photo either as the recipient gets a blank screen.
I am not super flash with technology, so please be nice!
Thank youBasic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement. -
I cannot load more photos onto my iPad even though I have bought an extra 20 GB storage plan from iCloud. As I am on holidays and taking loads of photos I thought a good plan was to load them onto my iPad and then regularly back them up to iCloud. If I do this, do I then delete those photos from the iPad that I have backed up to iCloud and if I delete them from the iPad are they gone forever or can I somehow get them back from iCloud? I'm only new at all of this so I hope someone can assist me. I'd hate to lose all of my photos(I know they are still on my memory stick) but I would like to have them safe and secure and able to retrieved whenever I wish.

You can enable Photo Stream (in Settings > iCloud) but only for 30 days and only a max of 1000 photos.
Then what does this mean? It was copied from the kb article that I posted above.
Reducing the size of your Camera Roll backup
If you take lots of photos and videos with your iOS device, you may notice your Camera Roll takes up most of your iCloud Storage backup. To check the size of the Camera Roll backup on your device:
On your Home Screen, tap Settings.
Tap iCloud.
Tap Storage & Backup.
Tap Manage Storage.
In the Backups section, tap your device.
In the Backup Options section, the backup size is displayed under Camera Roll.
To reduce the size of your Camera Roll backup, save your photos and videos locally to your computer with iTunes, and then manually back up your iOS device. If you want to keep your photos and videos on your iOS device, you can turn off Camera Roll in Backup (see the "Deleting backups and turning off Backup for your Device" section above) orpurchase additional storage. -
Lost all photos on my iPhoto and get the ERROR WRITING TO DISK when trying to reload from Time Machine. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPHOTO LIBRARY . Looking for solution.
Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash, if possible.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) 2>&- | wc -l | pbcopy
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear.
The output of the command will be a number. It's automatically copied to the Clipboard. Please paste it into a reply.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there. -
Cannot attach multiple photos using the ' Message ' option iOS 5.0.1 in ' Photos ' app.
Since i have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 i cannot attach multiple photos using the ' Message ' option in the ' Photos ' app.

Videos Imported from iPhoto Cannot Play in Photos
Hello,
I just upgraded to Photos and accepted the default setting to convert my iPhoto library to Photos/iCloud format. All went fine without errors and I see that Photos created an entire duplicate on the iPhoto library.
The problem is I cannot play any videos in Photos that came from iPhoto. I get a dialog message indicating "Cannot Play File, Photos cannot play this video. Do you want to try opening it in QuickTime Player?" Similarly, Quicktime Player reports it cannot play the file and prompts "To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More."
The videos where imported to iPhoto from my iPhone 6. There does not seem to be a difference between standard video or slow motion video files.
My software versions are;
Mac OS X: 10.10.3 (14D136)
iPhotos: 9.6.1 (910.42)
Photos: 1.0 (209.52.0)
iPhone 6 IOS: 8.3 (12F70)
According to the App Store, my system is fully up dated. How can I restore the videos to work in Photos? Is there another method for importing the iPhoto library into Photos?
Thank you,
JeffThanks for that. Good to know.
Just to add my own two cents to this thread—I have also experienced problems with video files. These fall into two categories:
Videos that were imported as thumbnails only ("Photos cannot play this video because it cannot find the file"). These all seem to be AVI files. I can locate these files in my old iPhoto library, but when I try to import them into Photos, it tells me that this type of file cannot be imported. No error message of any kind was shown during the migration. (This is not at all helpful.)
Videos that were imported, but that won't play in Photos. Photos gives me the option to open them in QuickTime. Depending on the file type, QuickTime does one of two things: (1) Converts it to a format that it can play (which takes ages, and if I save the file, I lose the metadata) Or (2) tells me it can't play it.
There also seem to be files that were converted during the migration. The originals in the iPhoto library are MPG files, while the ones in Photos are MOV files. But they won't play in Photos, and they can only be opened in QuickTime after conversion (within QuickTime).
I've also encountered videos that were shot on an iPhone 4S that won't play in Photos. Not sure what's up with that.
It's important to note that THESE WERE ALL VIDEOS THAT PLAYED JUST FINE IN IPHOTO.
So now I have to go over all my video files (4600 of them) and figure out which ones are problematic (600 AVIs for sure, unknown number of MPGs and MOVs), convert them with Handbrake, import the converted files into Photos, and then manually fix the metadata (date and time, location doesn't bother me so much).
If anyone has any tips that will either spare me this long and tedious process or speed it up somehow, I'm all ears.
Don't get me wrong—I think that Photos is overall waaaaaay better than iPhoto (it's actually usable—I don't have to suffer the spinning beachball for 3/4 of the time it is open). But the migration process is really sub-par. If you're going to just not import a whole bunch of files, at least tell me so I can do something about it.
