    How do I begin freeing up space on my iphone?  Is there away to clear unnecessary or duplicated information?  Or consolidate my itunes library so that it takes up less room?  Would it be possible to purchase more space?

    The iPhone does not have expandable memory.
    If you need more free space, remove stuff from the device.

  • Freeing up space by removing iphone photos

    Hi Forum,
    Tonight i encountered something very unfamilar to me when syncing my iphone 6. when plugged into my computer the task bar located at the bottom of the iTunes details the space being used by particular applications (EG, music, photos, apps, other) .
    It is displaying that my photo count and size( GB/MB) is larger than what is actually on located on my camera roll. for example it currently says there is 119 photos on the roll (including recently deleted) and when im looking in my settings> General> About . its says 531.
    Help!! how do i free up this space of other things.
    Thanking you

  • Help!  Deleting photos isn't freeing up space on my iPhone 5c

    Tonight I took videos at my daughters recital and used up all the space on my phone.  When I got home, I copied the photos onto my computer and then deleted the copies on my phone.  Currently, I have 24 photos on my phone and no videos.  When I look at my phones DCIM folder (from my computer) it says that 48.7MB is being used but on my phone, when I go to "Manage Storage" it says that the Photos & Camera is using up 4.7 GB.
    How do I free up this space on my phone?  It's like all the deleted files aren't actually gone.
    Thank you for your help.

    Put the iPhoto Library in the trash and empty it. They are various ipod caches and other ancillary files in there that make no sense preserving if you’ve emptied the library. Next time you start iPhoto it will make a new empty Library.

  • I have just purchased iTunes match, but my music is still taking up 4GB space on my iPhone, which is what it was doing before.  How do I clear space?

    I thought that I understood that once music uploads or matches to iTunes match, that my library would no longer be stored (using space) on my iPhone.  Before the purchase, my library took 4GB space.  Since the purchase, I haven't downloaded/listened to any tracks, but it is still showing as using 4GB space on my phone.  And 2 days after the purchase, out of 1364 songs, 734 remain on my device, and not in Cloud (evident when selecting to show only tracks that have been downloaded to device).  So why has approximately only half of my library been stored in Cloud, and why, despite around half of my library having gone to Cloud, is it still using 4BG space on my phone???

    Hi,
    On your iPhone Go to Settings > General > Manage Storage > Music - this tells you amount used for All songs and lists the music on your phone. You can delete music from here.
    All your music in the cloud should now show download arrow but when you play a track, it is downloaded.

  • How can i get more local storage space on my iphone 4

    I want to put more song on my iphone 4 but it keeps saying i dont have enough local staorage space. How can i get more local storage space on my iphone 4?

    You don't. Delete 'stuff' you don't need or buy a phone with more storage. you can not increase or upgrade the internal storage in the iPhone.

  • How can I free up space on my iphone without connecting to itunes?

    How can I free up space on my iphone (by posibbly deleting some music) without connecting to my mac itunes? I'm travelling abroad for some time so can't access my itunes account on my mac at home and the iphone is full. I thought I'd left enought room for plenty of new apps, but alas no. So I need more room for more apps. We have my partners PC laptop with her itunes loaded if thats any use. I've deleted and backed up all my iphone photos already. Thanks.

    Claiming that it can be done, but not telling him how is not all that helpful. We were dying for you to share the steps that he must take.

    The process is just like deleting an unwanted email in your inbox. Simply find the track(s) you don’t want on your iOS 5 device anymore, slide your finger over the track listing to the left or the right to reveal a hidden “delete” button, and then select “delete” and the track is gone. Unfortunately there’s no mass delete option, so those Backstreet Boys songs are gonna have to be deleted one at a time.

  • There is no more space for virtual disk ServerName_2.vmdk. You might be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the relevant volume, and clicking Retry. Click Cancel to terminate this session.   Time: 30/05/2014 1:16:20 AM

    Recently, our mail server crashed at about 7pm one night, with the error 'There is no more space for virtual disk ServerName_2.vmdk. You might be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the relevant volume, and clicking Retry. Click Cancel to terminate this session.'
    When we click Retry, the server starts up OK.
    There are no snapshots listed in Snapshot manager for any of the virtual machines on the host.
    There is also free disk space available on the host and for the VM with the disk errors.
    This happened at least three more times, often at bad times. Each time, we were able to click 'Retry' and the disk/system would allow the VM to start-up successfully.
    I checked the Forums, the VMware support articles and the internet as I had not seen this problem before. I have completed the VSphere 5.1 - Fast Track course and this issue was NOT covered in the training.
    Most of the advice on-line and even that on the VMware web-site was pointing to snapshots being the cause of this issue. There are no snapshots enabled and I cannot see evidence of snapshots ever being used.
    - We are running VMware vsphere (5.1.0) and there are (were) 4 virtual machines running on the ESX host. We are using the free version of VMware/ESXi.
    - The Hard disk types we are using for this Virtual Machine are 'Thin Provisioned'.
    - There are 4 [Thin Provisioned] Hard Disks for this virtual machine.
    - There are 6 CPUs
    - There is 20GB of RAM (memory)
    - The VM is running Windows Server 2008 R2 as the guest/VM operating system. It is an Exchange 2010 SP1 mail server. There is plenty of available disk space on all the drives. The [Exchange] log files are cleaned out regularly (automated).
    I decided to move one of our non-critical servers off this host and on to another host to see if this helped the problem. This took quite some time, as we are not using HA or vmotion, nor do we have VCenter Server...nonetheless, I finally managed to get the non-critical server on to another host (n.b. This was a much smaller machine with less virtual resources assigned to it).
    After moving the non-critical server off this host, we decided to monitor the Host and see if the issue resolved itself.
    I checked the host about 6-10 times a day, from first thing in the morning till last thing at night - monitoring the performance of not only the Virtual Machine, but the ESXi host also.
    There were no adverse performance issues. The only thing I did note, was in the Summary page on the ESX Host, under Storage, was If I right-clicked on the datastore and clicked refresh, then the free disk space would drop (ie from 140GB to 125GB).
    After monitoring the host and VM for about 2 weeks, we did NOT have another instance of the above error.
    Sorry for the long winded post, but I wanted to give as much detail given this error has been raised before and snapshots are usually blamed as the cause.
    My question is this:
    If the ESX host had plenty of available disk capacity and there were no snapshots enabled on the VM (or any other VM's on the same host), then why did our Virtual machine crash with the error that 'there is not more space for virtual disk Servername_2.vmdk'?
    How do we prevent this issue from happening if we don't know the underlying cause?
    I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions.
    If I have not provided enough info on the specs or environment, please let me know and I will provide more information.
    Thanks all,
    Kurt

    The type of storage is really based on your requirements, and your ability to withstand downtime.
    iSCSI as you are using with a NAS such as Synology or QNAP.  NAS Selector - Support - Synology - Network Attached Storage (NAS)
    I wouldn't use iSCSI for Exchange or any database.  It's a bit slow.
    Do you have a single physical host?  Then I'd probably to an external direct attached storage.  This would be a card inserted in your host server that gives you multilane SAS/SATA connectivity (www.techcable.com/SAS-SATA/SAS-SATA.pps) and an external disk enclosure/array.
    For multiple hosts to a single array, I recommend a fibre channel connection to a FC capable switch, and on to a FC connected array.
    We used to use a HP P2000 (on old G1), but it's since been retired.  Worked pretty well once firmware was upgraded.  http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/disk-storage/product-detail.html?oid=4118559#!tab=features.  They can be connected via iSCSI, Fibre Channel or 6GB SAS so they are flexible and reasonably priced.
    Recommendations:
         Use RAID 6 with your large disk arrays.  With large disks there is a measurable failure rate when rebuilding a failed RAID5 array based on MTBF.
         Use smaller 15K disks in RAID 0+1 for speed on databases/Exchange.
         Use slower 7.2K disks in RAID6 for file storage.
    We are a small hospital and we have 3 VMware servers with dual CNA (FC and Ethernet in a single twinax cable) connections to 2 redundant Cisco Nexus 5K switches and then 4 Fibre Channel connections to an EMC VNX 5300.  It's extremely fast with about 50 virtual servers, but was quite an investment.  One thing we don't have to worry about is down time.  If there ever is an equipment failure, we have redundant everything, including power split between two UPSs.
    Our VNX has 3 tiers of performance.  3 100GB SSD "Fast Cache" in RAID 1 with hot spare, to keep the most used data ready, but it's not really a tier, however one could be built utilizing the same disks.  A second tier is performance tier with a 8 600GB RAID 0+1 and hot spare.  The third is a bunch of 7.2K 3TB disks in RAID6.  The VNX autotiers, placing data on disks depending on where it's needed.  The volumes are sliced and diced automatically in the background to make this happen and we never have to touch it.  I used a demo of Solarwinds Storage Manager to monitor performance for a while and the utilization was always low, meaning all data access was fast, througout the day.

  • Can I use icloud to store my iTunes library music in order to free up storage/usage space on my iPhone?

    Can I use icloud to store my iTunes music library in order to free up usage space on my iPhone and iPad?

    iTunes match is a true streaming service when it comes to playback from your PC. That means, you can load everything into the cloud and stream from the cloud to your PC.
    To an iPhone or iPad, it's stream-and-save, meaning it will download and play immediately, but it will be saved to the device.
    So yes, you can load everything up (assuming it all loads properly without problems) and stream to your PC.

  • HT201302 I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    I have over 1000 photos in my camera roll, and I have saved them to my computer.  Is there an easy way to delete some or all of them to clear out space on my iPhone?

    The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported.  If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.

  • HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

    I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

    Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

  • I have all my music in iTunes and have "Music Match" turned on.  Apparently, I also have music on my iPhone 5.  I need to free up space on my iPhone.  If I delete the music on my phone, will it still be available to me on my phone via the cloud?

    The same is true for photo's.  I have too many photo's on my phone taking up space.  Now I realize I can remove a lot of the photo's via sync options, but ...

    This can happen if iTunes gets confused about what is and isn't on the device. These steps should resolve.
    Backup the device.
    Restore as a new device.
    Restore the backup made earlier.

  • How do you get rid of the "other" space on an iphone 4

    I want to know how to get rid of the "other" space on an iPhone 4 that doesn't require you restoring your phone back to factory settings. I currently have the iOS 6.1.3 software update, I have 0.99 GB of Audio, 1.65 GB of Photos, 1 GB of Apps, 0.02 GB of Books, 2.8 GB of Other, and 0.02 GB of Free. Please help!

  • I need help with 'Documents & Data' taking up all the space on my iPhone

    Hello, I have searched for days on the internet for a way to solve my problem but nothing and I really mean NOTHING seems to work at all.
    I can't buy any software either.
    When I go into Settings>iCloud Documents &  Data are off and have been off all the time. Yet I STILL have Documents &  Data taking up 5 GB of my phone and I don't have much space either.
    I have hopelessly tried deleting most of my messages and NONE and I mean NONE of the space has been given to me, nothing changed but my messages completely disappeared. No I do not use iCloud and I have the latest software updates. My phone is not jailbroken. I even tried deleting most of my apps and installing them again but that didn't work either. Photos take a small amount of space on my iPhone.
    I really hope someone can help me this is a really big issue for me and I do not fancy resetting the phone back to its Factory settings.
    I am new to the apple forum so sorry if this isn't in the right category or something. Thank you in advance. I also do not really fancy going all the way to the centre of the city to go to a Genius Bar.
    By the way, a few minutes ago I tried backing up my iPhone and syncing it again and a message popped out telling me that I need additional 4 GB of space in order to let it sync and I do not understand this, Documents & Data take more and more of my space every time I look. Also all the messages I delete come right back when I turn the phone on and off.

    Hi demolitonlovers,
    If you have unaccounted for data taking up storage space on your iPhone, you may find the following articles helpful in identifying what is taking up the space and how to remove it:

    You did import these important photos over to an alternative storage medium, just like you would with any digital camera, right?
