How can I manage data storage in iCloud?

A message posts each night to my devices hooked to iCloud via Bluetooth that my iCloud storage limit has been reached and I need to sign up to a ~$3/month program to increase my storage capacity.  I do not wish to increase my iCloud capacity without first inventorying what is in the Cloud and deleting much of what is automatically stored there.  How does one go about finding one's iCloud content and deleting it?  Thanks!

    Purchasing more Storage on iCloud will not increase the Storage Capacity of your iPad.

  • How can I manage multiple devices in iCloud?

    I have 30 devices that I need to manage.  I want all devices to be managed under a single iTunes account.  Attempting to have a separate itunes account for every device would be a huge headach, and serious time-waster.
    I do not care one whit about iTunes on a computer, so please don't point me to the article on using multiple iDevices on a single computer.  These devices are not synchronized to computers, unless individual users decide to sync their phone to load up music, photos or whatever.  Further, when the phones come into IT I do not care at all for the data stored on the phones.  These are business phones. So if a user chooses to put anything on the phone, that user is responsible for backing it up / reloading if we have to wipe it.
    So, with those criteria -- HOW do I manage all of these devices on a single iCloud account?  Most specifically, I am trying to get "Find My iPhone" to work, but it says that all devices are off-line.  I have my assigned phone in my hand, turned on, and using the internet.
    In truth, I actually don't care about anything except the Find My iPhone functionality -- we do not sync our phones with iCloud.

  • I have alot of apps i don't want to delete, and i make videos all the time,but how can i manage my storage wothout paying

    I need help, i need to manage my storage without paying or deleting app
    Do you guys know any video apps that don't take up a lot
    a storage

    There are two separate issues you are raising:
    " ... manage my storage without paying ...".  That refers to iCloud storage.  You have to pay for iCloud storage after you use 5GB.  That's not the critical issue in your case, because you need to be concerned with iPad storage - a completely different thing.
    Your iPad storage is some fixed amount that is on board your iPad machine.  You already paid for it and cannot add any or pay more for additional storage even if you want to.  But this is the storage to manage right now.  Go to Settings > General > Usage and you will see how much you are using and how much you have left.  You must always keep an absolute minimum of 10% of the total space free so your software can do its operations.

  • How can i get more storage in icloud for my ipad 3 retina display?

    i have a ipad 3 with the retina dispaly and i was using my ipad 3 as a backup storage for my ipod. now my ipad3 will not let me power on. it says not enough storage, this ipad can't be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. you can manage your storage in settings.

          Thank you so much,
          In terrible need of help.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • How can I restore data from my iCloud account on a new iPhone 5c with a previous SW version that my old (stolen) iPhone 5?

    Hello everybody,
    I need help to restore data from my iCloud account on an unused iPhone 5c because my iPhone 5 with a newer iOS update was stolen. When I try I get a message that I cannot retore my data because the iOS on my iPhone 5c is an older version than on the stolen iPhone 5.
    There must be a way to do this. I hope to hear from you
    thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
    After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

  • How can you manage data usage when cellular data is off, but you are using WiFi where your WiFi provider charges for data use?

    I spend quite a few months each year in Canada where I use a Telus Cellular Hub device which is also my WiFi Router.  My iPhone 5 has Cellular Data set to "Off" which insures I won't be charged via my Verizon Wireless Service Provider for charges while in Canada.  Trouble is Telus, Rogers and all the Canadian Internet Providers charge for all Data going through their Systems.  Again, My Cellular Data on the iPhone 5 is turned off, but I use WiFi for such things as checking the Weather, or FaceBook, or searching the Web. 
    I believe that things may be happening in the background from various Apps that use quite a lot of Data.  It could be that iCloud is part of the issue with things being backed up automatically.  It also could be that Apps like AP or other News Apps are sending large amounts of Data in the photos associated with their New Stories, etc.  I typically turn off the App Store "Updates" such that they don't automatically load.  The FaceBook works now posted videos play when you are just scrolling through the News Feed. 
    I have been trying to fine an article somewhere which focuses on this specific problem but unfortunately many if not most articles are about folks worried about using Cellular Data while in a WiFi environment when their Cellular Data is turned on. 
    Does anyone know of a fairly comprehensive article about what settings on which Apps might reduce the Data Usage when Cellular Data is turned "Off" but you are going through a Service Provider who charges for all Data Accessed even when you are using WiFi?

    Thanks for your comments, it is clear you understand my plight.  The trouble is fully understanding what Apps and App Features are transferring data in the background any time you happen to turn WiFi to on (even if you have had it off most of the day or night).  Obviously things like Location Services can constantly be sending and receiving data from my iPhone without any action on my part.  Also if you have things like photo backup on the iCloud then each time you take a photo you are sending a copy out.  All App Updates if set to Automatic also can add up to quite a bit of Data.  Reading the News on AP or scrolling through FB News Feed is actually adding up to a lot of Data.  There could be other culprits that I am not even thinking of.  I don't want to turn Apps like Find My Phone off or turn iCloud off due to loosing the value of such a program entirely.  Again thanks for your quick response.

  • HT204053 How can I delete data from my icloud back up?

    I just got a new iPhone 5 and when restoring from my backup there are a number of things (pictures, etc.) that I want removed from the back up data. Not to be ignorant, but if I remove/delete them from my phone and back it up again, does this solve the problem?

    Yes it should, but wait until restore is competed.

  • How can I free the storage on my phone and use the storage on my iCloud?

    My phone says I have 5Gb of iCloud storage. I have 4.8Gb free. My phone itself has no more space and when I download it tells me I need to sort out my settings. How can I manage my storage so that is is all saved to my iCloud rather than my phone so that I have memory for new apps or music?

    You can't use iCloud to expand the space on your phone.  iCloud is designed to sync your data across all your devices, not to save your data to free up space on your device.  The only exception to this is if you subscribe to iTunes Match, which would make your iTunes music library through iCloud without having to store it all on your phone.
    If you need to free up space on your phone, you'll have to sync something off it to free up space, or import some or all of your photos and vidoes to your computer and delte them from your phone, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • I have several phones on my itunes accousnt how can i manage to see only my information

    I have both my daughter and my sons iphone onmy itunes account.  How can I manage my storage to seeonly my apps and my music?

    I don't believe that there is a way to do that.  I would sugest using automatic downloads to keep your apps synced across both phones.  You might also want to note that just about any app you have ever download will be available for free download via icloud.
    Wish I could be more help.

  • HT201318 How can I get a storage plan on iCloud that's more than 50GB?

    How can I get a storage plan on iCloud that's more than 50GB?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you purchase a higher-tier storage plan for your iCloud account to replace your existing storage plan (for example, a 20 GB plan to replace a 10 GB plan), the existing plan will be canceled and you will receive a prorated refund for the time remaining. The new storage plan is applied to your iCloud account and the annual payment date is updated to reflect the purchase date for the new plan.
