Check and free storage space

I need an app to free the storage space on my iPad as it reports 8gb free space, but can't use it. Anyone know of such an app to do such a scandisk function?
I ran out of storage, so I deleted some videos, and it now says I have 8gb free, but I can't import photos from my SD card any more (it was working perfectly before).
I've heard people say the space it only freed after a deletion when you next do a sync, but I am traveling and won't have access to my computer until I return home.

Dave, his problem is that the iPad says there is not enough unused storage to download more photo using the CCK he already has. He said he deleted stuff and the iPad say there is storage space available but when he used the CCK it says there is not enough storage space available.
For the original poster (sorry forgot name), have you tried reseting your iPad to try to make the empty space available.?
Reset:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Not enough free storage space for ios update

    My wife's iPad Air MD786LL/A with 32GB. Running iOS 8.0.2. I bought it for her last year for her birthday to replace her old iPad. She won't give up the old iPad. I keep her iPad Air up to date from time-to-time but when I tried to update the iOS, it said there was not enough free storage space (requires 2.4GB and the iPad Air only has 1.8GB). She also has a MacBook Air running Yosemite and an iPhone 4S on iOS 8.2. The old iPad runs iOS 7 and won't do the multi-device sync with MBA and iPhone (which is why I was trying move her to the  more modern iOS). I need to free up some space on iPad Air.
    Songs: 278
    Videos: 40
    Photos: 7,695
    Apps: 50
    I note that Settings>General>About does not list Books in the list of things on the iPad Air. Why is this?
    Everything syncs to iCloud.
    Q: can I delete photos on the iPad Air without removing them from her MacBook Air or iPhone?
    I note that the iCloud Photos is still Beta. When I went to turn that on, it said that the 7,695 photos would be removed from the other devices. I did not proceed.
    Q: How does one move a book back to the cloud after it has been read? This should free up space.

    See: Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Scroll down to "Update your device using iTunes" and follow those steps.

  • My Mac mini won't recognize photo library in itunes so I can download pics from library and free up space in memory, I was able to download camera role but not photo library that takes up more space.

    My Mac mini won't recognize iphone 4 photo library in itunes so I can download pics from library and free up space in memory, I was able to download camera role but not photo library that takes up more space. Help thanks

    The photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Photos synced to your phone will have to be extracted from your phone using third-party software, if you want them on your computer, as Apple makes no provision to do so. Since you're using a Mac, you can use this:

    To delete and free up the space, truncate the table/partitions and then shrink the datafile(s) associated with the tablespace.

    Did you empty the Trash?
    What size hard drive & how much free space. You should always have a minimum of 10-15% or more free space?

  • IPhone 5s playing video from iCloud takes up all free storage space and phone to crash

    Hello All,
    Traded in my 32GB iPhone 5 for a 16GB iPhone 5s today. Using the iPhone's built in "Video" app and streaming videos purchased in iTunes will sometimes cause the phone to freeze and fill of the phone's free space until the indicates free bytes in usage says 0. It seems like it is a software glitch as the phone works perfectly fine everyone else. I'm running iOS 7.0.3. I've also tried restoring the phone, which hasn't help.
    Has anyone run into this before or have any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Chris

    I've encountered the same issue tonight. Decided to purchase a movie and NOT download it to the iPhone 5S, but instead play it from the Videos app...which supposedly streams it from iCloud.
    Half way through the film, a message informs me that I have low storage space. I check storage - 0kb.
    I throw away 1.2GB of old apps and various pics / vids in my camera roll, then finish the movie. Just after watching, another message pops up...that 1.2GB was consumed as I watched the rest of the film.
    It's almost as if the film was downloaded to the phone...taking up space (what was the point of "streaming" it from iCloud if it was going to take up such a great amount of space on the phone?) But it wasn't in my videos app as downloaded. I was missing 3 - 3.5 GB of space. There was no way to clear the cache. I tried everything (and I used to work for Apple as a highly competent iOS technical support advisor, so I DO mean everything).
    In the end I decided to stop fooling with it and just erase the contents of the phone and restore to a backup.
    But this is a SERIOUS bug in this system. I know "streaming movies from icloud" was a new feature with iOS 7...I hope they resolve this. Until then, I'll download movies if I want to watch them.

  • HT2476 how do i clean my start up disk and free up space

    how do i clean my start up disk and free up space

    I have a iMac and desparetly need some freed up space. I have emptied trash for iPhoto, iMail, cleared extra disk images, checked for old printers, and then emptied my trash bin on the desktop. I have 616MB. Most of my space is taken up by photos, video and music that I would like to organize for our family. I have just started in with iMovie and will be working with many of those items, but due to the excessive amount of them, can I can move to an external hard drive and work on only one year at a time? (We have 7 years of digital overload to go through.) Is it easy to work with files once they are moved to an external hard drive? What would the best steps to take from here? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

  • How can i move photos off iphone 4s and free up space?

    I have utilized dropbox and other storage options, but looking for a faster, easier method of removing photos from my phone and freeing up space.

    Import them onto your computer. If you've got a windows, you can plug your phone into your computer and using the autoplay feature, you can import the photos onto your computer. This will allow you to delete the photos from your phone, but still have them on your computer.

  • Trouble with Elements organizer and online storage space

    Hello,
      I have a problem with my online storage space showing files, when I have deleted everything.  The techs at Adobe want me to reset client services within organizer, but this only causes the program to hand up loading for hours.... So, is there a way to solve this?  Do I need to remove and reinstall?  Can this be done just for the organizer program?

  • Statistics setup for 2LIS_11 and no storage space available internal table

    Hi, I am running statistical setup for 2LIS_11_VAITM. It ran for 10 hours and failed with an ABAP run time error. The error is "no storage space available for extending an internal table". For 11 application, the selection options is sales org, company code and sales document. We have tried twice, and already drilled down to the level of sales org and company code, but still with error.
    The only option is sales documents.
    The volume of the data is 16 million records around in VBAP table which needs to be in the setup table.
    What is the criteria to categorize the sales document.
    Can we use order types? We have 200 values in the order types. And I am not sure the document ranges in each order type is clearly defined and not overlapping each other, so that we could load those in the setup table.
    Please advise!! Or if you have other suggestions!
    Thanks!

    Hi
    It could be because of main memory problem... so Restrict your selections and do the statistical setup
    by the way how many comp codes you have? restrict with comp codes or doc ranges
    Thanks,

  • How can I save photos and free up space in iPhoto?

    I have a hard drive that used to be used on a PC. It's format is MS-DOS (FAT32). I've been using it for the past year with my Mac with no issue (moving files onto it and off of it).
    I have over 30,000 photos in iPhoto now and am noticing that it's quite slow and often gets the 'rainbow spinning wheel'.
    I want to move most of my photos over to the hard drive, but I still want to be able to access them.
    1. Do I need to reformat the hard drive?
    2. Where do I locate the iPhoto files on the mac?
    Thanks in advance!!

    1. Yes you do, and you do it with Disk Utility. There are lots of videos and posts on this online. For instance:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8te1bg07MsQ
    Remember that formating a drive will erase it so make sure you back it up forst.
    2. One you're sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • My Wallpapers and Ringtones... And MORE storage SPACE!!!

    I am a recording artist... How do I upload a personal pic from my computer(MAC) as a wallpaper, and a few personal songs for ringtones... And also, how can I get MORE storage space to add more apps on this phone?

    Greetings, and welcome to the forums!
    Are you only using the device memory for all of your file storage? If so, purchase a micro SD card to store your pics, ringtones, songs etc. on. Then set your phone to mass storage mode so that your MAC will see it as an external hard drive and then you can transfer your pics/songs to the mem card.
    As for apps, those you'll need to store in device memory, as that's the only place they can be run from.
