Got new iPhone, but it says it won't back up icloud b/c i dont have enough space on iCloud?

Why does it say in icloud that i don't have enough space in icloud to back up my new iphone 5?

The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

    If you made a backup before you restored it you can restore your iPhone from a backup and your game data should be restored.  When you connect your iPhone in iTunes you can right click on it in the sidebar and select restore from backup.

  • I have 2 ipads and my iphon on the same icloud account and it wont let me back it up cause i dont have enough space so I want to move my iphone over to a new icloud account i made with a new apple id but i dont want to delet the ipads off their account?

    I have 2 ipads and my iphone on the same icloud account and it wont let me back it up cause I dont have enough space. So I want to move my iphone over to a new icloud account with my new apple id that i made but i dont want to delete the ipads off the old account just move the iphone to the new one. How do I do that I despreatly need help!!!

    To migrate your phone to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep on the phone, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; your other devices won't be effected by this), provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone (if using iOS 7) and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted .  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data to the new account.

    Use iPhone as designed. Like any digital camera, download your photos to your computer and delete from the iPhone to create space required for iOS upgrade.

  • TS1292 Good morning I received a 25$ itunes card as a gift yesterday, I know it was bought in the target located in 10880 Olson Dr on friday November 30th, but it says that the card has not been activated, currently I dont have the receipt can you please

    Good morning I received a 25$ itunes card as a gift yesterday, I know it was bought in the target located in 10880 Olson Dr on friday November 30th, but it says that the card has not been activated, currently I dont have the receipt can you please help me

    Normally what you should do is go back the retailer from whom you purchased the card and discuss the problem with them. They should either correctly activate the card or give you a new one. Since you have no receipt, though, it's unlikely that Target will help you, so go here:
    iTunes Support
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Please note that everyone here is just a felllow user, so you should post no personal information as it will quickly become public.

  • I cant download updated software, says i dont have enough space

    i am trying to download the software update, but i says i dont have enough space, says i need 2 gb and i have 32 gb left on my computer

    Is the message saying:
    Not enough storage
    Not enough/low memory?
    For the former delete some items from the iPod.
    For the latter.double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.

  • Got new iPhone but can't install iTunes

    I purchased a new iPhone 4 yesterday and thought it would be easy to set up but for some reason I can't install iTunes on my laptop. I can down load the iTunes setup.exe but when it comes to install it, it gets about half way through and it comes up with the error 'Could not access network location %APPDATA%/'. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to overcome this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Fifi.

    it gets about half way through and it comes up with the error 'Could not access network location %APPDATA%/'.
    With that particular variety of 1606 (it's a 1606 error message even though the 1606 error message number isn't returned by the iTunes installer), the following Microsoft document is worth a try:

  • Itunes says i dont have enough space to sync my iphone but i do

    When I try to sync my Iphone to Itunes it states more space is required but I have 3 times the space it is saying is needed. Please help.

    The message probably means you don;t have enopugh space on iCloud to backup the Phone.
    iCloud has a 5GB limit. If your backup is more than that then it won't be able to backup.
    As far as backing up to your computer, just connect it to your computer, and assuming you have iTunes you can just click on the Backup button in the summary page for your Phone in iTunes.
    You can follow the instructions posted by Ramzee.
    As to why you can take less photos, probably because you've used more space up with different things. so there's only so much space left for your Photos.
    You can look in Settings->General->Usage, to see how much space you have available as well as the App that's taking up the most space.
    Also when connected to iTunes in your computer Check how large the "other" category is.
    If its more that 1 to 1.2GB then you may have some corruption.

  • IPhone 4s, How do I do a backup on the computer? Phone says I dont have enough space to do it on it.

    iPhone 4s.
    How do I do a backup on the computer? My phone says there isnt enough space to do it on the phone. It keeps telling me "phone needs to be backed up". Ive looked at iTunes, iCloud... Im not sure where to go to make it do a back up.
    Also, I used to be able to take about over 1,000 pictures with a few videos. Well now, it only allows me about 312 pictures, with one video, then says its "FULL" and turns the camera off. I copy the pictures to my computer and delete them so I have room. But its REALLY annoying how I can now only take about 312 pictures.
    Any Help would be sooo appreciated!!
    Thanks!

  • My iPod touch 4th generation 8gb won't let me download apps even though I have enough space?

    I am trying to download the game Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour which is 1.54GB and I have 3.1GB of space on my iPod but when I try to download it, it says that there is not enough local storage space to download it. Can someone help me as i would like to download the game?

    To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size. Thus you need abut 4.5 GB free storage space on the iPod which you do not have.
    If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.

  • TS1702 i have 1.4 GB of space, but the App Store tells me i dont have enough space to download an app that is only 621 MB!

    does anybody know why this is happening and what i can do to fix the issue?
    i've tried restarting the device, deleting extra programs, installing updates.  i am running the most up to date ioS.
    This program was on my device previously, and i deleted it.  i now just want to get it back.

    An iPod usually takes between two and three times the file download size to download and install an app. You need to delete more items from your iPod.
