Can not down load I0s7 due not enough memory on my iphone5 how can i free up more memory?

can not down load I0s7 due not enough memory on my iphone5 how can i free up more memory?

Or, do the update while connected to iTunes, which does not require extra space on your device, and in my experience seems to be a much more reliable update method anyway.

I am trying to install Snow Leapord and I get a response that I do not have enough memoroy. I recently bought a 2TB WD backup drive. I backed up the iMac. Now how do I free up more memory?

I am trying to upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and I get a message that I do not have enough memory. I recently bought a 2TB WD back-up drive and backed up the entire computer. Now how do I free up more memory to allow me to install the new software?

First thing to try is emptying the trash to get more space.
Go to the Finder -> File Menu -> Empty Trash.
This will free up some space.
Next look at your Download folder. Click on "Size" to sort by largest to smallest. This is where you have downloaded files over time and you should be able to delete a good amount of them, if you don't need them any more, to clear up space. Select the files you want to get rid of and hit "Command-Delete". This will move them to the Trash. You will then need to Empty the Trash again.
You can also look through your documents for large files. Do the same think, click on "Size" in the finder window to sort by largest to smallest.
Lastly, look at your applications folder. Unlike a PC, you can just Delete applications. Now certain data will still remain, but the bulky items will go away by doing the same "Command-Delete" on the applications you don't want.
Don't forget, after you have deleted things, you need to Empty the Trash.

How can I discern what is filling up memory of iPad? How can I delete so more memory?

How can I free up memory on iPad?

next time you sync up, click on your device in itunes, and just like one of the previous responders indicated it will break down how much memory you have tied up with music, videos, apps, books, photo's and so on... but if you want to know how much memory a particular app takes up you can click on the app section on your device in itunes and it will show you how big the application is. and usually they are relatively small in comparison to things like movies, books, photo's and even music... you can also click on the movies section on your device in itunes and it will also tell you how big a movie file is... and then hopefully based on this info you can pick and choose what you want on your device to maximize space.... good luck, i hope this helped....

How can I free up more storage space on my IPad?

How can I free up storage space on my IPad? I have deleted all books, music, magazines, email, messages, most games, and I still have only 1.1 GB available. There are files in Diagnostics and Usage that I can't figure out how to delete. Can it be that and something else? Any suggestions are welcomed. Synced just yesterday and that didn't help. Thanks!

In iTunes, you can click on the iPad Device and check what type of files are using storage on your iPad. On the Summary tab, at the bottom of the page, there is a chart showing what type of files are on your device. They are separated into groups by color.
Once you have identified the color that's taking most of your storage you might be able to determine which files need to be removed.
Also, are you using DropBox with a lot of favorites selected or a few larger files? Dropbox favorite files are kept on your device, even when it isn't connected to the internet. This could also be true with other file sharing services like Sugarsync.

How can I free up internal memory on my Droid Pro?

Hi, for the last few weeks i have received that lil triangle in the circle saying that i have run low on internal memory/storage. I have cleaned up my sd card and attempted to move apps to but they i can not do so. The few apps that I have left on my phones internal memory are smaller and my phone should be able to handle it. I am left to try and remove system programs which obviously i can not do. It is so bad that my phone is actually rejecting incoming text messages, most of the time i do not even get notified of this happening. It is driving me nutz. If i use my browser or any app i have to remember to clear my my cache or history so there is just a lil bit space to allow my messages to come in. If it feels like taking it. Does anyone know what or how I can get to the internal storage to clear more things out? I have hooked my phone up to the pc, did the verizon mobile stuff, just about everything my enough to be technical dangerous but not enough to do this for a living brain can think off? Help please. This is a Droid Pro. I love this phone and do not want to get rid of it. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.

Have you done a system cached clear??
(Steps may vary slightly but should be close)
Power down phone
Hold volume up/down & power simultaneously until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu
Use volume down to navigate to 'Recovery', use volume up to select
Should see screen with triangle and exclamation point next to an Android
Press volume up/down simultaneously to go into system recovery
Use volume rocker to navigate to 'wipe cache' and use power button to select
Once finished, use volume rocker to navigate to 'reboot system now' and use power button to select.
Are you storing pictures or music on the phone? Move them to the SD card.

You posted this in 2 different places so I will answer it in both places
When you remove your battery, it will free up more space. Also, I went in and deleted all languages that I don't use. You can do this by going to options, advanced options, applications. Finally, you can also purchase a micro SD card and save all of your media to it.

My saved messages are using a lot of memory. How do I free up the memory?

My saved imessages are using a lot of memory (3.1GB) on my iphone. How can I free up the memory?

This is when I go to "usage" and it lists all of the memory used by certain apps. Messages is the largest, and I swipe to the left to open it and it says that "saved messages" are using all of it. There is no option to do anything at this screen.

How can I free up storage space on my iPad?

When I try to download a video from my icloud my iPad tells me it doesn't have enough storage space. How can I free up more storage space on my iPad?

That's an issue of not having enough available space on the iPad itself, not in your iCloud account. (You can check the available space on your iPad by going to Settings>General>Usage and checking the Available number under "Storage" at the top.)
To free up space on your iPad, you'll have to delete something or sync it off with iTunes (such as some of your music or other iTunes media).

How come I can't free up the memory by deleting the photos?

i have been trying to free up memory on my iPhone and deleted a lot of my photos, however it doesn't seem to work. it says i have only 231 photos left in camera roll (i don't have any other album) but when it's plugged to the computer with iTunes, it says photos taking up 12.8GB of storage... how can 231 photos be taking up so much storage?
how can i free up the storage?

Normal photos don't take up that much space the only way I could see photos being that large in size is if the photos have files within them. This is usually done when you iPhone has been hacked or when you use 3rd party software to put files within files. These are the only ways I could see this being done my advice to you is to restore your iPhone start over with a new one you will have more memory.
Two questions
where did you get your iPhone?
was it used or new?

How can we free memory?

how can we free memory? what do "alter system flush shared_pool" and "alter system flush buffer_cache" commands do?

If you want to reduce the size of the SGA, you could reduce initialization parameters that are taken into account to size the SGA: see the the Concepts Guide.
The statements that you have mentionned do no reduce the size of the SGA allocated at OS level but only flush or empty the related caches.

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.
http://www.cultofmac.com/99990/ios-5-allows-users-to-delete-music-directly-from- iphoneipad/
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.

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.

HT201364 How can i free up space on my startup disk to install OS X Mavericks?

How can i free up space on my start up disk to install the OS X Mavericks software?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning your files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Hi Westindiandiva,
Depending on your current configuration, a certain amount of storage marked as Other on your iPad may be normal. For more information about managing storage on your iOS device, you may find the following article helpful:
