  • I have an IPad and want to download a movie.  I keep getting the message "There is not enough available storage to download your movie.  You can manage your storage in Settings".  I look in the settings and it says I have 5GB available?

    I have been trying to download a movie to my IPad.  I have never had trouble before but the last two times I get an error message that says "Cannot Download" There is not enough storage to download your movie.  You can manage your storage in Settings.
    When I go to my settings it says I have 5GB remaining storage and 5GB storage used.  I have deleted a lot of my music and games but am still having trouble.  Has anyone experienced this before?

    5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie.  Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with.  The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad.  You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.

  • I am getting the message: There is not enough available storage to take a photo."  How do I manage my storage?

    I am getting the message: There is not enough available storage to take a photo.  You can manage your storage in Settings.  I don't know what to change without losing data, videos or photos.  What do I do?

    And in general.  keep an eye on your storage in Settings => General => About.
    Delete old emails when you can, especially those with attachments.  Delete old text messages, again especially those with attachments.
    Dump old programs that you don't use.
    Like razmee said, move pics and videos off your phone when you can.  Delete those bad pictures in your camera roll that are just taking up space.
    Look for programs like PhoneClean that you can use on your computer that will go in and delete all the cruft that gets left behind by apps that don't close properly.
    This will also help your phone run better as well.

  • Trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings

    trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings. What am I to do?

    The storage you purchased is in the cloud, and doesn't do anything with your pad.  Your problem is simply that you have too much content on your pad.   Go to settings, general, usage, and it will show you how much space you have avaliable on your pad.  If you let the screen sit for a while, all the apps will be displayed, and you can see how much stuff you have associated with each.
    You have to no option but to delete some of the content on your pad.  Videos, comics, pitcures and some music files use a lot of space.   The cloud allows you to leave stuff there, so you can get it when you need it.

  • My icloud storage says I have plenty of space left, I keep getting a message that says not enough storage space left.

    My Icloud storage says I have plenty of space left, but I keep getting a message that says there is not enough storage left. Please help

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are you sure the message isn't about space on your phone, rather than in iCloud.

  • How can I recover my music???  I keep getting "The song " " could not be played because the original file could not be found"  And for some reason my back up isn't working either.  I have over 11Gb of music on here. Please help???

    I have no idea what's happened to all my music, even the stuff I've bought off iTunes and downloaded won't sync to my iPod or play through iTunes.  Having a total nightmare with it all.

    If you know where all songs are located on the computer, I'd suggest just removing everything from iTunes and then adding it back in.
    Edit > Select All
    Edit > Delete
    *Choose the option to Remove from library
    *If prompted to move to recycle bin, choose Keep File
    Then click File > Add Folder to Library and navigate to the folder on your hard drive that has your music in it. You can choose your iTunes Music folder, for example, and this will incorporate any subfolders you have stored in there.
    The lock icon suggests that the file is "protected," so most likely purchased from the iTunes store.

  • How can i re-install facebook on Iphone5c; if I keep getting error message "item you tried to buy no longer available

    I tried to re-install facebook for Iphone5c, since my phone kept "blacking out" from facebook. I get an error message saying that the item trying to be purchased is no longer available. Any Suggestions? Thanks.

    HI friend, I am from Sri Lanka. Do not worry it seems to be a problem with iTunes App Store. I too facing the same situation. I tried to install app updates but nothing works. My friends in India, Newzealand and few more other countries are also experiencing the same problem. Hope it will be sorted out by Apple very soon.

  • TS3212 I just purchased a new iphone 4s and I am trying to load some music from my itues. I am getting a message that says not enough space. I checked my phone and it shows i have 5.1G available. do you know how to fix this problem?

    I just purchased a new iphone 4S and I'm trying to loan some music from itunes. I keep getting a message that says not enough space on my phone. I checked my phone and I have 5.1G available. I deselected all the songs on my itunes to try and get it to sync and I keep getting the same message. Any tips?

    Hey csumner1,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
    Resolution
    Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
    Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
    1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
    2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
    3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
    4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
              - If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
    5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
              - Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
              - Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
              - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
              - Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
    If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
    6. Restore using iTunes.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • 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.

  • HT1338 How can i free up space on hd?

    how can i free up space on my hd/

    Begin by dragging your files to  another drive. Then delete those files on your internal drive.
    As soon as you have enough space freed up download and run OmniDisksweeper to find what's hogging your disk space.
