How can I free up capacity on iCloud? - I only have mail on it!

The only thing sync'ing is Mail!
I only need current/recent e-mails available on all devices. This would free-up capacity in my iCloud. I would feel more secure about this too. Why am I forced to purchase capacity I do not need if only I knew how to manage this mail folder.
Is this what "Archiving" is?? I never archive anything because I don't know where it goes! -laugh Please help me out.... I have deleted a number of e-mails but it doesn't seem to budge the capacity. ... how do I eliminate all attachments in file - surely I do not need them. ~ Thanks in advance, Dana

The article you were looking at (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847) explains the different ways to do this, such as reducing the size of your iCloud backup by importing you photos to your computer and deleting them from your phone (explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).  What do you need help with?

  • How can I free up space in icloud

    I received an email stating that my iCloud storage is full. I have a iPad and iPhone. I've synced my phone with my macbook, deleted photos, deleted apps, etc. My phone shows 3.1 GB of storage used. How can I see what's backed up to iCloud and free up space?

    You can get an idea of what is using your iCloud storage by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage.  Tapping your backup here will give you additional information about what is using space in your iCloud backup.

  • How can i deauthorise my old laptop so I only have my new macbook as my pc. My old laptop is broken and I can't use it at all by the way!

    I have brought a new macbook air and have got it operating ok. But I'd like to de-authorise my old lap top which is
    broken and can't be operated at all. How can I do this please?

    Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but if you've authorised your account on your new Macbook then you should be able to log into your account on your Mac's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then reauthorise the Mac (and any other computers that you still have and need).

  • How can I get rid of the text and only have icons in the bookmarkfield?

    Earlier the bookmarkfied only showed icons but after the upgrade they show icons and text. How can I get back to only icons so I can have the good old overwiw back?

    Test this by going to that folder with both in it and click View/Show View Options. In there, de-check "Show icon preview", and you should see the bordered icons go to default file type icons and the unframed ones remain the same. I honestly don't know how to re-embed the image in the icon data, as it does not play well with the typical paste in on Get Info. Hope this gets a solution rolling, because it's something that's bothered me as well.
    Thanks umparrothead. Yeah, I see what you're saying. The copy and paste into the "get info," is buggy, but it does actually work. I have noticed this when trying to change the icon on an .avi file. The copy paste in "get info," initially shows the paste, but it's not reflected immediately in the files icon in the finder window. I have gotten it to show up as the files icon by moving the file to another folder, (in list view), and then... opening then and closing the folder.
    See here the border on the one file is gone!!
    This opening and closing does not work in the folder the file is in. It only works after moving it to another folder and then opening and closing?!? I think it has something to do with quickview trying to over-ride our choice of icon for it's own choice, whether it be a poster frame on a movie file, or in this case it's own "bordered" view of the photo inside. I imagine it might also show up after a restart, but that is surely far more extreme than the dreaded move file/open folder/close folder/open folder/move file back, trick. uuugghhh...
    This copy paste thing is no solution to be sure. But it does work. I just wish there were some kind of script so I can run it on hundreds of photos at a time...
    Any one else out there with any ideas?!?

  • How can I get the Serial No. if I only have the IMEI??

    My friend bought an iPhone 4s and it has been stolen form his car,,
    He has the bill with his name and IMEI only, so how can he get the serial number
    to register the product in his Support profile??
    try tracking his iPhone with help of Apple if possible

    Alternatively, if he ever synched the iPhone to his computer, he can launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover the cursor over the backup file for the iPhone. That should show him the serial number.
    Regards.

    It may be your preferences problem.
    Try to Reset your firefox and try it newly

    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.

  • How can I delete a Note in iCloud on only 1 device?

    I have 3 devices on iCloud with Notes on - an ipad mini, an ipod touch and a macbook. I need to send my ipod in for a new battery and want to temporarily delete all my notes (some have passwords etc.) on it, but still leave them on the other 2 devices. I've tried various pemutations of switching icloud notes off in the settings on my devices, but they always seem to synch ie if I delete a note on my ipod, it also gets deleted everywhere else.
    Anyone any suggestions?

    Perhaps you should check out an application called 1Password available for both OS X and iOS. If you're keeping passwords, account numbers and other sensative data in the Notes app you should be concerned.

  • HT204022 How can I find my photos in iCloud if I have inadvertently deleted them?

    Is there any way I can retrieve photos taken on my iPhone 4 that I had inadvertently deleted from the "cloud" on my Windows laptop. I thought there might be some way to do that------go back to a previous date perhaps?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately not. have you deleted the originals too.

  • I am at capacity How can I free up space but not delete music

    My Ipad is at 55.4 gb used 24 gb in music alone. 2.7 gb available so can't do anything  Ipad shuts itself down and won't let me open mail, use facebook, safari.How can I free up space but not delete songs in library   

    Unless you are attempting to download a sizable file, 2.7 GB should be more than enough to continue fucntioning. Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray BEFORE doing the reset.
