How do I extend the storage space on my iphone?

Hi Guys
I want to extend the storage space across my idevices since my wife can't stop taking photos of our new addition to the family on her iphone.
We already both use iTunes Match so there is music on our phones it's all streamed off the cloud which works well I can recommend this.
The problem now comes from the fact we now need  extra storage space for photos and videos taken on ios. Photo stream does a good job of syncing photos across devices but not video. It would be nice if iCloud did this but found that it fell short of the mark on anything but backing up my iphone since the things it stores in the cloud seem limited.
Dropbox seems like a good alternative to this since it will work on all devices but may require management on a separate computer and am not sure if it will work with streaming video I guess I can give it a go and see.
Has anybody got a good experience with photo / video streaming across idevices that they can share?
Regards
Chris

Hi
Thanks for your response.
Buying a bigger iphone was just too obvious an answer.
We already have the backup to mac in place it just means that to view pics that you need to turn on the big machine.
I would rather have them available to view via a cloud service of some kind.
Anyone have any experiences to add?
Regards
Chris

  • Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. How can I increase the storage space?

    Question
    Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. I delete emails from the Inbox and the Sent and Trash boxes to overcome this. How can I increase the storage space to stop this happening?

    Hi terrybohle1938,
    Firefox is a web browser. It provides access to online content. Things like your email are handled by the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll have better luck consulting their documentation.
    That being said, deleting only email is a great way to free up space. Another option would be to purchase a "Premium" account if your email provider offers this service. Many times more storage space is offered as part of paid subscription.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • My time capsule backup space is full yet, how can i extend the backup space?

    how can i extend the backup space?

    Two possibilities:
    Add a new USB hard drive to the Time Capsule and start a new full backup and move forward from that point.
    (Unfortunately, it is not possible to have Time Machine simply continue backups on a new drive. You have to start over with a new full backup.)
    Or, if you decide that you really do not need all the old backups on the Time Capsule, the disk can be erased and you can start over with a new full backup and move forward.

    I was not aware of the fact one could use ringtones as alarms, this will suffice! Although I foresee some very awkward times as the sound does not stop once I respond to the reminder (it keeps going for good five - ten seconds after I "stop" the reminder), but it's better than missing it altogether!
    Thank you very much!
    Regarding the Alarmed app, doesn't it have to be running to actually remind you?
    -Modular747: I don't know anyone who actually reads the terms of service agreement, those things are usually up to thirty, small print pages full of legal jargon. Rules, I do read - not the legal documents (also they often contradict the laws in my country, but that's a whole different story).
    I agree with you - the average customer support consultant mostly cares about keeping his job and earning his salary (don't we all?) and thus racking up completted tasks (i.e. getting rid of customers as fast as possible - in a good mood). The "threat" none the less is real, if a cell phone causes me more trouble than it is worth, I will indeed throw it away (I have done so before) - and recommend a different brand to anyone willing to listen.
    Don't get me wrong, I love Apple and I've been faithfully using and recommending their producs for twenty years now, not because of fanboyism, but because they earned it. This calendar issue, however, is like a toaster that doesn't automatically eject the toast at the set time. I see it as a major flaw and after googling around a bit I see that it's been around since at least 2007 (THAT'S SEVEN YEARS!!) so I strongly believe they are aware of this problem by now, but are choosing to ignore it for some mysterious reason and it really ****** me off.
    I will send the feedback but based on my observations I suspect the Send button is merely a cleverly disguised Delete button.

  • HT6162 I can't upload ios7 bc I don't have enough storage space, how can I increase the storage space w/o paying more money

    How can I increase my storage. I have been trying to upload the latest iOS & can't bc I don't have enough room & I really don't have a lot of apps.

    You cannot increase your storage capacity at all.
    You can remove content from your iphone or you can update via itunes on your computer.

  • How do I extend the length of time my iphone rings before voicemail cuts in? If I need to use a password, how do I access that on my iphone? I'm a new user.

    HELP!! My voicemail cuts in after just 15 seconds of ringing, which is rarely long enough for me to answer it. How do I increase the length of time it rings? Can I choose not to have voicemail at all, so my phone can just continue ringing until I answer?
    If I need to enter a voicemail password or key, can you tell me step by step because I can't see how to do anything except retrieve and delete voicemail msgs. I'm on O2-UK, if that makes any difference at all. Thank you

  • What are the "others" which take up all the storage space in my iPhone?

    I have a Mac, an ipad and an iphone 5s.  According to itunes nearly 8G of storqage is occupied by "others".  All I have stored in my phone is a handful of photos, music and apps, which add up to just over half the available space.  However I find I am left with only 3G out of an original 32.  Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    Messages is often one of the largest components of "Other".   Email also.
    If after clearing out both of those services you still have a very large "Other" greater than about 2GB, then most likely you have some corrupt files and a restore as new might be your only way to recover that space.

  • HT4993 How do I reduce the "other" space on my iphone???

    My phone is only 4 months old and has nearly 3 Gigs of "other" space being taken up on my phone. I have tried a few things and nothing works. I dont use the phone as in depth as my step son uses his and his is not even nearly as contaminated by this space. Please help me regain some of this space back!

    This indicates corrupt files.
    A restore should resolve.

  • How do I make enough storage space on my iPhone to download new update?

    New update requires 2.5 GB of space. I only have 1.8. I've removed several memory-heavy apps, voice files, photos, still not enough room.

    Remove a movie or two transferred from your iTunes library if there are any, or install the update with iTunes on your computer.

  • HT1689 How can I extend the number of times my phone rings before going to answerphone

    How can I extend the number of times my Iphone 4s rings before it goes to answerphone

    Call you carrier and ask them how you can change this.  The number of rings before voicemail kicks in is set by your carrier.  Some have the option to do it from your phone if you know the sequence of codes to send, but you need to ask your own carrier how to do it for their system.

  • I bought 3 iPhone 4s and each should have 5gb of cloud. I want to only use my one iTunes ID. How can I get this storage space increased to the 15 GB?

    I bought 3 iPhone 4s and each should have 5gb of cloud. I want to only use my one iTunes ID. How can I get this storage space increased to the 15 GB?

    iCloud storage is not allocated by device. iCloud storage is allocated to your iCloud AppleID. You get 5GB of iCloud storage.

  • How can i extend the Apple TV storage to get an 1 TB? apple has any external hard disk or similar?

    how can i extend the Apple TV storage to get an 1 TB? apple has any external hard disk or similar?

    Only AppleTV1 has an internal PATA drive. The largest PATA drive available is 250gb.
    Hacks are available to use the USB port on AppleTV1 to access more storage.
    AppleTV2 does not have an internal drive.
    Why do you need more storage in your AppleTV? iTunes streams video to AppleTV so no need to store it locally.

  • HT4865 I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

    I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone 4S to download the new OS7 so how do I save it to iCloud and remove it from my iPhone to make room but not loose the deleted stuff from iCloud?

    You can't use iCloud like that.  It isn't a general file storage service; it's designed to sync data across your devices. 
    Some options are to sync all your music or other media off your device, then sync it back on after you update.  Another is to import your photos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), then sync them back to your phone after you update by putting them in a folder, then selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.
