My iPhone 5S is eating up my storage space.

It all started about a month ago (beginning of March), saying occasionally that my storage was almost full. I surely after the first few times tried to clear my messages and pictures, etc., but then the alerts kept becoming more and more frequent. it's gotten to the point where I have 6 photos on my phone, 2 apps, 1 message conversation, 3 emails, and 15 songs. I know for a fact that the few mega/kilabytes these take up are not using the 12.1 GB I have available on my phone. I'd say it adds up to a solid 7.5. I'm highly annoyed with this. not sure if I can get it fixed, since this phone has long passed its 1 year warranty. please help if anyone else has experienced this problem.

HT204053 I have multiple apple devices, 2x phones ipad etc, but all are through the same email and I only get the storage space for one device, what should I do?

I have multiple devices all under the same id and email but I don't get multiple icloud storage space and it's running out!
Can anyone help as I've just bought an iphone for my daughter and would like to link it as well.
Thanks in anticipation of your help.

One icloud account gets a 5 GB of storage, regardless of the number of devices connecting to it. But you're in luck, you can buy more storage for the account if you are running low.
As for your daughter, be sure to get her own icloud account, otherwise she'll end up getting all your email, contacts, etc. And if she deletes any of this data, it will be deleted on your devices as well. Note: you can all keep using the same ID for the itunes store for sharing purchased items.
To create a new icloud account, go to

Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. How can I increase the storage space?

Question
Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. I delete emails from the Inbox and the Sent and Trash boxes to overcome this. How can I increase the storage space to stop this happening?

Hi terrybohle1938,
Firefox is a web browser. It provides access to online content. Things like your email are handled by the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll have better luck consulting their documentation.
That being said, deleting only email is a great way to free up space. Another option would be to purchase a "Premium" account if your email provider offers this service. Many times more storage space is offered as part of paid subscription.
Hopefully this helps!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately you can't, the additional storage belongs to your first account, you can't transfer it.

Failed downloads eating up storage space?

Hoping somebody can help me here, recently purchased a couple of TV series via iTunes and have been downloading and watching on both my iPad and iPhone. The problem is, they seem to get almost fully downloaded and then a message pops us saying unable to download. This keeps happening with various wifi networks on both devices, and I've noticed that the available space on both devices has reduced drastically. My iPad no longer has enough space for an HD episode, and my iPhone is reduced to being able to hold about 2 episodes. I go to settings>usage to see what the apps are using and they total very little in comparison to what the devices can hold. It's not even due to the number of photos/other documents in the devices as there aren't really any, or at least no way near enough to create the storage issues I'm experiencing. Starting to get really annoyed now as every time I try to download an episode I'm loosing storage space. The downloads do eventually work, but only after numerous attempts. It's not even like it's a dodgy download, or at least I hope not I paid good money via iTunes for the series!

In case anyone else finds this post with a similar problem.. I found a solution. (posted by a user named txforever)
Manually change the date back several months (or years if need be) and then go in to your Recently Deleted Photos folder. Don't be fooled by it telling you there are 0 photos. If you actually open it up, suddenly you will find all the old photos that should've been deleted but never were.
I emptied it and my problem is solved.
Hooray!
I feel like Apple should issue this as a known solution to this bug that a lot of people seem to be having. And also, they should fix the bug of course.

Removing disk from a volume storage space 2012 r2

Hi, I've got a issue, here's my situation, i'm using storage space on a windows server 2012 R2 for my backups. Fisrt I had 14 3tb disk in mirror so there was 19tb usable for date. Now I needed more space so I just added 14 more disk and I extended the virtual
disk to 38tb. Then when I wnet into windows management -> disk management to extend the partition to use the full 38tb, I got the following error message
Virtual Disk Service error:
The volume cannot be extended because the number of clusters will
exceed the maximum number of clusters supported by the file system
Then I realized that the cluster size where only at 8k, reading on the Web i understood that I couldn't get more then 32tb.
Now I would like to remove all of the 14 disk I just added in the pool and create a new pool with 64Ko cluster size so I wont worry about my next size upgrade.
I'm afraid that even if windows see the added space has a not allocated space, the storage pool is now using the disks. I can't afford to lose any data.
How can I proceed??
I saw procedure on this site but they seem's to be for removing 1 disk... since I have 14 disk fully integrated in my pool I am a bit nervous following a one disk procedure
thank you

Hi,
As you have already added the 14 new disks into your existing pool, you will need to check if virtual disk is already extended onto these new physical disks.
If not, you should able to remove them from the pool - if virtual disk is already extended onto these new disks, It will ask for replacement to replace them with new hard disks.
If a part of hard disks could be removed, maybe you can migrate data onto these hard disks (no need to create a storage pool), delete the existing pool to recreate and migrate files back.

How can I configure ReFS to NOT fail read operations when a checksum error is detected (on non-Storage-Spaces volumes where data integrity streams are enabled)?

According to William Stanek, in his Windows Server 2012 R2 Inside Out: Configuration, Storage & Essentials book, this is apparently possible: (pg. 615 - here it is on Google Books: https://books.google.ca/books?id=0IyfBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT819&lpg=PT819&dq=read+operation )
Integrity can be enabled when the system is not running on Storage Spaces. When
integrity is enabled and ReFS detects a checksum mismatch, ReFS logs an event and
fails the read operation by default. If you don’t want the read operation to fail, you
can configure ReFS to continue with the read operation. A related event will be logged
regardless.
So then how do I configure it to do that???
(And just to make it super-clear, I'm NOT using Storage Spaces, so there is no redundancy via mirroring/parity, and I'm not expecting any file repair - just detection of corruption. It's just a basic volume formatted with ReFS and
with integrity streams enabled, via format E: /fs:ReFS /i:enabled
For those who want more details, here's the situation:
I try to perform a read operation on a file with corrupted data (purposely done for testing using a low-level disk editor), I get a the following error message:
And an event ID 133 from ReFSv1 gets logged in the System log:
Clicking "Try Again" just brings up the same message, and clicking "Skip" skips the operation entirely.
This is indeed the correct default behaviour.
What I want instead is for the read operation to be allowed to complete, with corrupt data and all, and ONLY for the event to be logged. And according to William Stanek, this is supposed to be configurable somewhere - and after hours of searching, I haven't
been able to find anything.

Hi Tommy,
>>How can I configure ReFS to NOT fail read operations when a checksum error is detected
We can use PowerShell command Set-FileIntegrity to configure this. The specific parameter for controlling this behavior is
-Enforce <Boolean>which indicates whether to enable blocking access to a file if integrity streams do not match the data.
Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to as reference.

Unable to repair degraded Virtual disks in Storage Spaces under Hyper-V 2012 R2 Core

Hi all,
I am finding myself in the following conundrum. I have a storage pool under Hyper-V Core, with 2 2TB Seagate drives.
One of the drives completely died (wouldn't spin up, tried it in a different box, still to no avail). I sent it in to Seagate for warranty replacement, got the new drive. Installed it and went through the notions of adding it to the pool and retiring the
one that was with "Lost Communication" status.
Tried to repair the virtual disks that are showing as "Unhealthy-Detached", quickly get 100% complete, but the repair didnt work.
The storage pool is in degraded state.
Looks like metadata is corrupted.
Followed this post to upgrade Storage Spaces to latest version:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/eead59e9-5e49-4bb6-8cbb-1dafddd9576b/unable-to-repair-degraded-virtual-disks-in-storage-spaces-2012r2?forum=winserverfiles
Still, to no avail.
Couple of questions:
1) Is the data on the 3 virtual disks in state "Unhealthy: Detached" not recoverable?
2) How can I get the storage pool back to "healthy"?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can I connect an external HD on the time capsule and use it as storage space ?

Hello,
I am thinking about purchasing a time capsule for backing up my data, but I also need storage space for photos and videos, can I connect an external hard drive to the time capsule and use it as storage ? If so, is there any risk of the time machine use the external hd space for backup as well and eat up all the storage ?

can I connect an external hard drive to the time capsule and use it as storage ?
Yes....for storage, as in backup files. But, not recommended for "working" image or media libraries.
If so, is there any risk of the time machine use the external hd space for backup as well and eat up all the storage ?
No, unless you intend to also use the same drive for Time Machine backups.

ICloud storage space used up by old data from 1st gen iPad I traded in nearly 2 yrs ago for an iPad Mini. Can't backup any info for mini or new 6 plus. How can I access this old data to clear it out?

My iCoud storage space is being used up by old data from a 1st generation iPad I traded in nearly 2 yrs ago for an iPad Mini. The people at the sprint store where I made my trade were supposed to transfer everything over from my old iPad to the new Mini once they backed up the old device to iCloud. Well, long story short, none of the data ever got transferred to the new iPad, but it all got backed to iCloud, eating up all my storage space. Here I am almost 2 years later, and I've never been able to back-up my iPad mini. What's worse, My iPhone 4 wasn't backed up that whole time, and now I can't back-up my data from my new iPhone 6 Plus to iCloud either. Trying to find creative ways to store and save my information and data between all my devices is getting to be ridiculous. I don't want to upgrade my storage space though...just want to clear out a great deal of what is already being stored. How can I access this old data to clear it out?

The only way to access data from an iCloud backup is to restore it to your device. You could, for example, back up your iPad mini to your computer using iTunes (by connecting it, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up and choosing to back up apps and transfer purchases when prompted), then erase it and restore the old iPad backup (as explained here: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud), save any recovered data you want to keep, then restore your iTunes backup back to your iPad mini (by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup).
Once you're done with the old backup, delete it from your account to free up the space.

How can I free up more storage space on my IPad?

How can I free up storage space on my IPad? I have deleted all books, music, magazines, email, messages, most games, and I still have only 1.1 GB available. There are files in Diagnostics and Usage that I can't figure out how to delete. Can it be that and something else? Any suggestions are welcomed. Synced just yesterday and that didn't help. Thanks!

In iTunes, you can click on the iPad Device and check what type of files are using storage on your iPad. On the Summary tab, at the bottom of the page, there is a chart showing what type of files are on your device. They are separated into groups by color.
Once you have identified the color that's taking most of your storage you might be able to determine which files need to be removed.
Also, are you using DropBox with a lot of favorites selected or a few larger files? Dropbox favorite files are kept on your device, even when it isn't connected to the internet. This could also be true with other file sharing services like Sugarsync.
