Free iPhone space automatically using iCloud

Can iCloud delete photos and videos from iPhone automatically after being uploaded to save storage space on iPhone? It would be great to have that functionality such as iPhoto or dropbox.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't upload movies to iCloud.
If you purchased the movies from iTunes, you can delete them from your device and re-download them at a future time when you want them.

HT204053 transfer photos from iPhone to mac using iCloud?

transfer photes from iphone to mac using icloud ?

Connect the iPhone to your Mac and launch iPhoto. It will detect the photos and indicate those that are not already in the library so you can import them.
Be careful in letting iPhoto delete the photos from the iPhone. It's best to delete them manually from the iPhone so you have more control over what gets deleted.
Once you have your iPhone and iPhoto setup with Photo Stream to automatically import all new photos taken with your iPhone it'll be a seamless transfer:

I recently got the new iPhone 5c I used icloud to back everything up from my 4s to my new 5c. Now, I keep getting a pop up that says Continue Restoring? (This iPhone has not been backed uprecently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app date?)
I seleted to finish downloading because I didn't want to lose anything. It still will not finish downloading and I have tried this several times.
What do I need to do to that I can get my iphone to back up and so that I can install the new iOS?

Hello there, Brandifoote24.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up an explanation of what you're error signifies:
iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
"This iPhone has not been backed up recently because it has not finished being restored. Would you like to finish downloading any remaining purchases and media before backing up, or delete them along with any app data?"
This message is displayed if your iOS device has been trying to complete a restore for more than three days. This can occur if your restore has been interrupted due to network connectivity issues or some other problem occurs.
Being that this is the case, you would want to go back to the article it seems you were referred to us from and try to restore from your icloud backup again:
iCloud: Troubleshooting restoring an iCloud backup

How do I restore an iCloud backup if my device is already set up for use?
You'll need to erase all data and settings from your device, so first confirm that you have an iCloud backup to restore:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage, then tap the name of your device to view a list of iCloud backups.
Check the date of the backup you want to restore, because you'll be restoring only what iCloud backed up on that date.
After confirming that an iCloud backup is available, follow these steps:
Connect your device to a power source and make sure that it is connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi.
Follow the instructions for restoring your iOS device from an iCloud backup, which include making sure that your device is using the latest version of iOS.
If the issue persists, then I would troubleshoot Wi-Fi using the following article:

How do I get all my music from icloud to my itunes on my computer and my iphone and stop using icloud?

how do I get all my music from icloud to my itunes on my computer and my iphone and stop using icloud?

Hi,
You music is not in your iCloud account, it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Whether you use iCloud personally or not, it will not have an effect on the iTunes in the Cloud functionality. If you are using iTunes, then all of your purchases through iTunes will use iTunes in the Cloud as a backup for your purchases.
Cheers,

Thank you.

So you have business contacts that were lost... do you not have these on a Database in some shape or form? Sounds like you need to invest in a RAID1 backup setup for your computer so you dont have this issue in the future.
As for repairing your problem, sounds like you are going to need to start from scratch at this point or if the data is still on your phone look into a program that can take the information from the phone onto iTunes.

My iPhone although i use iCloud to synchronize. does anyone have en idea what can be done?

Try posting this in the iPhone and iCloud forums as well and you will probably get more response from users of those programs.

Flawless iPhone 4s install using iCloud

Highly impressed. Ive been through this every single release day from the 1st iPhone through this one, and I can honestly say this went relatively perfect. Yes, there was an issue with ordering on the 7th, but much better than before, and yes, updating to iOS5 took a couple times. Both my devices (iPhone 4 and iPad1) upgraded just fine.
So I set the iPhone 4 to use iCloud. Did a backup of it early this morning, used wifi to synch my phone, and as soon as that finished the knock at the door came and my iPhone 4s was in my hands. Turned it on, it asked a couple questions, had my right number in it, took 2 tries to activate (just think how many were trying to do that all at once!) and voila. Asked for a few passwords, namely email and apple ID, nad then asked me if I wanted to restore from a backup, had the correct backup on iCloud listed right on the screen for me to choose, I chose it, and it started restoring WHILE I was using the iPhone and playing with Siri. About 10gig and 2 hours later, the iPhone 4s is perfect.
Im going to be watching the battery usage, on my i4 it seemed to drain the battery very quickly, but then again I was playing with the OS a bit more than usual, and Siri is so fun. I said "I love you" and she said "I bet you say that to all your apple devices"...
Anyway, I hope everyone elses experience went similiarly smoothly. I was expecting a bit more trouble, but none occoured, and everything was basically flawless. Im impressed with iCloud and Siri. Yet to take any photos, but thats next.
Im sure Ill run into something the more I play, but for now, great job Apple!

One side note, it didnt install all my music, only items I purchased from iTunes as expected, the stuff I ripped myself has to be synched up manually via Wifi and not through iCloud.

How do i get ringtone from my ipad to my iphone 4s just using icloud?

How do i get ringtone from my ipad to my iphone 4s just using icloud?

Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store, so they won't appear in the cloud for re-downloading - you will need to sync it via your computer's iTunes

How can I sync app data (e.g. game status) from iphone to iPad using iCloud?

I just got the new iPad, and would like to continue some of the games from my iphone. I have downloaded these previously purchased apps from the app store, but is there anyway I could sync the game data from my iphone to m ipad using icloud? It only works for some games where I could sync games status with icloud (which means i can play on whichever device and progress is saved in icloud), is there a way for all apps to haave this? I dont want to restore my ipad as my iphone.

I have just started using game center on my iPad 2. I had previously been playing Temple Run on my iPhone, once I had logged in on both devices my achievements from my phone transferred to my iPad but not the points I had accumulated for power ups etc in the store.
If the only way to transfer game progress is to restore from a back up how come my achievements have synced across? Isn't there a way to sync store points across as well?
There seems to be a lot of people on this forum asking the same question so I hope someone out there can help!

Can a contract free iphone 6 be used in China with a GSM sim card?

I just bought a contact free iphone 6, and I want to give this as a gift to my friend in China. Can he use this iphone 6 with a GSM sim card? Thanks!

You'll have to check with the Chinese telephone company if they have nano sims and are configures with the same frequency of your iPhone.

Does the region free Iphone 4 S use a sim card ?

I am about to buy an Iphone 4s and will be using while i travel for a year. Are you able to put local country sim cards in a region free Iphone 4 s or does it not use sim cards ?

Yes, it uses SIM cards.

HT4847 how can I free up space in my icloud???

I am out of space in my icloud due to a ton of pictures that my wife took without knowing that they were being backed up. How can I manage my icloud and delete unwanted pics??????/

This article explains options for managing your iCloud space: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847. For photos, don't rely on iCloud to back these up. Import them to your computer and then delete them from your phone as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Doing so will reduce the size of your iCloud backup, thereby reducing the amount of storage it takes in your iCloud account.
