How did my iPhone 4 get additional free space?
iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1.
I synced my iPhone 4 to iTunes on a laptop by accident. I told my iPhone that I didn't trust the computer, and then I unhooked the phone. But before I did, I noticed on iTunes that I had 1.7 gigs of free space. On the same day, earlier, I noticed I only had 1.5 gigs. After I unhooked, I noticed it jumped to 1.9 and stayed on 1.8 gigs. What the **** happened? I looked at the apps and non of them were erased as to photos and music. I checked the emails, text, and voice messages saved, and none of them were erase.
What happened?
Additional info that may not be related, but...
I am using this app, Battery Doctor, and it told me that I had 1.7 gigs of free space, which was not true when I went to settings/general. It said 1.5 gigs available.
I did delete a lot of apps the previous day, but I would assume that my iPhone 4 would have caught up to the extact or general ammount of free space I retained.
Cleanfiles? Don't know nor ever used it. I've never used anything on my iPhone that isn't part of the ecosystem. No jailbreak... for now at least.

I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.
If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades. -
How did my stored files get converted from 'open with Adobe READER' to 'open with Adobe ACROBAT'? How can I get them re-set to open with 'Adobe Reader'?
Please reply to my e-mail: [email protected]It sounds as if you downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro. If you did, uninstall it. Then repair Adobe Reader.
The free Acrobat account has no connection to any of this. -
How do you create additional free space on the volume containing the iPhoto library? When attempting to import images from a CD I get an "Insufficient Disk Space" message albeit there is plaenty of additional space on the hard drive.
How much free space do you have on your hard drive? Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. -
Hello! I just purchased (Nov. 3, 2013) a new 27' iMac. It came with Mountain Lion preinstalled, which I upgraded to Mavericks. How do I go about getting my free version of the iWork suite? Thank you.

I was having issues with syncing my 80G video iPod, so I restored it, and now all my songs in my library are "corrupted" and I can't get them back on my iPod. I keep getting error(-69). How did my songs all get corrupted, and how do I fix this without having to purchase these songs all over again?
Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:

You can also re-download content using an iOS device.
For more information, see:

This if course will not apply to songs you did not buy through the iTunes Store.
Regards.

ITunes could not back up the iPhone because not enough free space is available on this computer
iTunes 11.0.1 (22)
Mac OS X 10.6.8
218.83 GB available
iOS 6.0.2
iPhone5
I get this error occasionally since getting the iPhone5 in October. My last successful back up to thei Mac was yesterday. Tonight, no backup.
One time when this occurred I had trashed files, and after I emptied the Trash the sympton went away. Tonight I had files in the Trash and emptie the Trash before connecting my iPhone and now no backup allowed.
I have quit and relaunched iTunes, and unconnected and connected the iPhone tonight with no change in the symptom.
My next counter measure will be to reboot.
Any suggestions?On my computer (Spring 2006 iMac, Snow Leopard, iTunes 11.1.3):
- I have 1.36 _terabytes_ of free space on my system disk.
- I have 2.1 _terabytes_ of free space on my Drobo[*] which contains my iTunes library.
My iPhone is an iPhone 5S 64Gb.
A backup should require, one would assume, less than 64Gb. In other words, a drop in the ocean of free space available to iTunes.
... and yet EVERY time I attempt a backup to my computer since getting my 5S it says:
'iTunes could not back up the iPhone "[name]'s iPhone" because not enough free space is available on this computer. Removing files and emptying the Trash will free up additional space.'
It's very clear that there's a bug given how much space I have available, and it's been present for 2+ months. :/ I had been able to back up my iPhone 4S.
- Stephen
[*] As far as the OS is concerned, the volume has 3.22Tb free, but it is backed by 2.10Tb of actual available space. In any case, "a whole heck of a lot". -

I am so ****** because i can't figure out a way to at least get my photos from this back...its all lost
I spoke with an Apple rep that day named Jamie who was supposed to help me retrieve my data, but we couldn't figure it out and he asked me to call back in a day or so to get it done. When I called back, i left several messages and got no response. Now i try calling support and they want money before they will talk to me.
Somebody please help.
ThanksIf you restored your phone as new there should be plenty of free space on it. Check Settings>General>Usage to see how much free space you have.
Is your backup on your computer or in iCloud? -
I just replaced my iPhone 5 because of a cracked face. I backed up the old phone to iTunes. When I tried to restore my data off of iTunes to the new phone, I got an error message saying that iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available on the new iPhone. Now what?
I have Apple Care+, but I'll be darned if I can find any way to contact anyone at Apple to talk to about this. They take your money, but make darned sure they don't have to support you unless you jump through a bunch of hoops first, like this site.I've done a restore.. The phone was completely wiped back to factory settings.. It then tells me there isn't enough space on the phone to restore from back up? How when the phone is empty?!

How to monitor DFS shares disk usage/free space?
How to monitor DFS shares disk usage/free space?
Using Netapp filer shares to which DFS points. Looking for powershell script to send report.Hi,
How about using Disk Quota function in FSRM (File Server Resource Manager)?
Please see:
Quota Management
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc755917(v=ws.10).aspx
In your case you can setup a soft quota with a specific size so that when it runs out of space you set, you will get an email or warning according to your setup.

My iPhone 5 16g (5g free space) keeps freezing
My iPhone 5 16g (5g free space) keeps freezing/glitching since my upgrade to IOS 8... I've rebooted a couple times (held home button down along with lock button) is there anything i can do to fix this? is my phone just out-dated (can the hardware not handle the update) ?
Hey anfo42,
Thanks for the question. If your issue persists after resetting, you can try backing up and restoring your device as new:
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
- If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
- If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
Thanks,

"iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available of the iPhone"??????
Before updating to iOS6, I backed my iPhone up onto my PC, as I am aware that when updating an iPhone things like notes, contacts etc tend to disappear. However, after the update was complete, when I tried to 'restore back up' I keep getting the message "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available of the iPhone". I don't understand why this message keeps coming up, because I have 20.96GB free space. All my contacts have gone, and I urgently need them for work. What can I do to solve this problem???
I suggest you delete some stuff off your phone so free up some memory and try again
