Got email saying Icloud storage full. Yet, iCloud on mac
Got email saying Icloud storage full. Yet, iCloud on mac & Ipad shows 4.62 GB avail. of 5GB total. How do I find out what is exactly wrong?
Most likely nothing is, others have received this email but nothing happens. For now (unless you are having problem) ignore it.

Icloud storage full. Can I delete my iPhone icloud backup with keeping my iCloud data unharmed (since my iPad has iCloud storage turned on, and I wouldn't be turning iCloud off on my iPad). BTW, I use iTunes for music and photo albums; iCloud for contacts, notes, etc. Then turn iCloud back up back on on iphone to see if I had a problem file and the storage changes?
ICloud storage full. I deleted messages, moved the camera roll to my PC, deleted Safari bookmarks, turned off almost every app in Managing iCloud storage. I turned off the backup, restarted iCloud backup and did a manual backup yet my storage gets larger yet.
Makes no sense. I have a iPhone and iPad. It's the iPhone showing this large iCloud storage 3.6 GB (when the iPad has more apps and only 716MB).ANSWER to my Question above: YES.
I took a chance, as I could find NO information regarding my question, and DELETED MY ICLOUD BACKUP (not my ICLOUD account). I then turned ON my ICLOUD BACKUP and whew! It plummeted from 4.8 GB full out of 5 GB TO: 1.2 GB full out of 5 GB.
I even turned on more settings to back up and it still shows 1.2 GB full in ICLOUD, 3.8 available. No more emails to say I am running out of ICLOUD space.
[For what its worth if others are getting messages their ICLOUD is almost full, and you don't have all that much on ICLOUD. Then when you even delete apps, messages, camera roll, turn off almost ALL icloud back ups and features the ICLOUD backup grows even larger. My ICLOUD kept increasing in size while I was decreasing my ICLOUD storage in Managing storage.]
(All my ICLOUD contacts, notes, Safari bookmarks, were returned in place.) -
Help, please. (iCloud storage full when it shouldn't be)
Hi folks. Need help re: iCloud storage. I own two Macs, an iPad (3rd gen), and iPhone 5. None of these uses iCloud for backups. My apps only take up about 20MB, and Mail takes up 407.8MB. And yet Settings says that my iCloud storage is full! I'm stumped and I don't know what else to do. Please help. Thanks.

........What do you mean by 'refreshing system preferences'? I just restarted my Mac before I checked but the same storage info is seen in my iPad and iPhone.
Yes, that's what I meant my restart.
What happens if you add, say a new pages document.
Hold down the alt key after opening the Finders 'Go" menu, choose 'Library' from the menu, look in 'Mobile Documents' and let me know what you see, you can look in various folders at will, but don't go moving or deleting anything. Look for any large unexplained documents. -
I've deleted everything from every folder in my icloud mail account (including trash) but still my icloud storage says it's full of mail. Any ideas??
Hi westie62,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are trying to reduce the size of your email on iCloud. I know you have already gone through some great troubleshooting steps as well and the email size is not changing. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the troubleshooting steps that you have not yet completed in the following article.

Icloud storage full - manage storage
Hi,
So my ipad is saying that my icloud storage is almost full and it is preventing me from doing a lot of things.
I go to settings > icloud > storage and backup > manage storage
It says my ipad is using 63.2MB and Mail is using 113.8MB - this obviously does not add up to 5GB, yet my storage is saying I have used 4.8GB of 5GB on icloud.
I have tried deleting the back ups and even turning off back up to icloud. Then I turned the icloud back up on again and did a fresh back up and the result was still 4.8GB of usage wit the above statistics for ipad and Mail.
I am so confused. I am obviously not using 5GB of storage and don't want to purchase anymore, does anyone have any ideas of what is wrong!?
Thanks,

IPhone 5 showing Storage Full while iCloud only half full...
Hi,
I am struggling to take photos or download apps as my iPhone says I am out of storage. I paid for iCloud and that is 1/2 full...I do not have that many apps yet what are my options, can I delete the photos from my photos app or will it remove them from my icloud too..
Thank you,
jsYou need to regularly import your photos to your computer and delete them from your iPhone.
-> iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
I paid for iCloud and that is 1/2 full.
Not really needed as likely most of the space is being used by your iCloud backup and most of that backup is likely the photos in your Camera Roll.
Make sure My Photo Stream is enabled.
Settings > Photos & Camera - My Photo Stream to On.
Regularly import the photos to your computer and turn off Photos from backing up to iCloud.
Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > tap your iPhone name.
On the next screen under Backup Options, you can turn on/off items to include in the iCloud backup. Turn off Camera Roll. -
Why is my icloud storage full, when I've disabled all apps from being backed up?
I saw my icloud storage was full, so i went into "manage storage" and turned off almost every app so it wouldn't back up to icloud.
it still shows that it's full. how/why?!i just tried but it says it cannot backup bc there isn't enough space.
you can see in the screenshot that the next backup is 5.8 gbs. my camera roll is turned off and the apps that are checked off are very small so i really have no idea what's taking up so much space. -
Why is my iCloud storage full when I bought a 32GB iPad mini?
When my mum bought me my iPad mini at Christmas (7 months ago), she bought me a 32GB and recently I have had notifications saying that my iCloud storage is full. I have deleted many apps and many photos, also when I try to delete the data of certain apps I don't want, the switch will turn to white (meaning it has been deleted) and when I go back onto Manage Backup the switch will be green ( meaning that it has obviously not been deleted). Why does this happen? Is it a problem with the iPad itself? My mum bought me the 32GB so problems like this wouldn't happen. Also writing this question my iPad has been running slow, is this because of my iCloud storage being full?
I just put this down to be that when you buy the iPad mini you get 5GB free for your backup and the other 32GB is for photos, apps etc. Is this what has happened I have used up the 5GB of iCloud backup? Or have I used up the full 32GB?
Thank you for taking the time to read and (hopefully) answer my question.Apps, music, movies, sync'd photos from iTunes are part of iCloud backup.
You should turn off photo backup to iCloud and regularly sync your photos to your computer and delete them from the Camera Roll.

No.
Close all apps (double click Home then swipe up on all apps) then press & hold both Home & Power until you see the Apple logo. -

I have paid $40 a year for the additional storage, but I keep getting emails telling me that on September 30th my storage will go back to the 5G unless I upgrade. Is there another step I need to take?
When you purchased the additional storage it over-rode and cancelled the free storage you got as a result of having been a MobileMe subscriber. You are getting these automated emails because 'the right hand knoweth not what the left hand doeth' (Ecclesiastes 11:1) - just ignore them. They will stop in another week.

My mail is making iCloud storage full
So I keep getting a message saying that my iCloud is almost full and my mail is taking up more than 3/4 of it. I have deleted so many messages from my phone. Most of the inbox and all of the junk and trash sections. This hasn't made the amout of storage that my mail takes up on iCloud go down at all. I'm at a loss and have no idea what to do.
Use a computer browser and log into icloud.com. Go to the mail page and begin cleaning things up.

I renewed my online number subscription Nov 2012 for $30.00 which taken out of my bank account- This is good until Nov 2013 and you have been still taking out $2.99 a month. But I got an email recently saying I cancelled my subscription-This is NOT possible because Number one my computer had been down for some time and number 2 I had just renewed it so IM not sure why I received this message but I haven't or don't have any intentions of cancelling my service with Skype. Please check into this & reactivate service etc.!!! Thanks.

I bought an iPhone 4S on my AT&T account as an upgrade on one of the lines. It is a Christmas gift. I don't want to activate it until Christmas so the recipient's current iPhone will continue to work. It is my understanding that their current iPhone won't work once the new once is activated. I got an email last night from the "iTunes Store" saying that if I don't activate the phone within the next 5 days, "we will automatically complete your activation." The email goes on to say "this has the potential to disrupt your existing phone service." How can I stop this automatic activation (and deactivation of the current iPhone) from taking place?

Well first of all you dont need a sim card to use any apple product. The only thing you need to do is activate it and create a apple id. But if you want you can give me your email and i can email you instructions since i am a iphone expert/specialist and own .2% of the company because of my stocks.
It's very, very hard to use a GSM phone without a SIM. In fact, it's impossible. This does not lend much credence to your claims to expert status. -

You should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
