  • Upgraded iCloud Storage not showing up in iCloud Drive

    Hi, I upgraded my iCloud storage to 500 GB a few weeks ago.  When I go into iCloud under system preferences I can see that 460GB of that is still available.  However, when I try to store things in iCloud Drive on my computer it tells me there is only 52gb available.  Why is this?  Please help, as it is very frustrating!  Many thanks.

    Hi mayyou,
    The resource below explains how to use iCloud Drive and how to manage your iCloud storage.  If you need additional support regarding your iCloud account purchased storage, there is a link to the iCloud Support team below:
    iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201104
    How much storage do I have in iCloud Drive and how do I get more?
    When you sign up for iCloud, you get 5 GB of free storage. Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud Backup, iCloud Drive, iCloud Photo Library, iCloud Mail (your @icloud.com email account), and data from apps that use iCloud. Your purchased music, apps, books, TV shows, and My Photo Stream don't count against your 5 GB of free storage.
    You can manage your iCloud storage or buy more storage using your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC.

  • Can i upgrade icloud storage for secondary account?

    My secondary account is used mostly for email.  I deleted a ton of them but somehow am still voer the 5GB limit.
    I'm willing to pay the $100 upgrade to get rid of the hassle, but is theere a way to upgrade icloud storage for your secondary account?

    You would probably have to temporarily make the secondary account the primary account to upgrade it.  To do this, go to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...delete the secondary account, then go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out of your primary account and choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with your secondary account ID and upgrade the storage.
    After upgrading the secondary account storage, reverse the procedure to assign the primary and secondary accounts back the way they were.

  • Can I upgrade iCloud storage using iTunes cards for payment?

    I have chosen not to use my credit card in conjunction with my AppleID, so I purchase all of my apps and media using iTunes cards.  Can I pay for upgraded iCloud storage using iTunes credits?  I would prefer to pay one year at a time using those credits, but if it needs to be monthly, that would be fine as well.  I just want to use the iTunes cards instead of a credit card for the payment.

    Thank you.  So to clarify, if I put a credit card on file for this AppleID, but I have plenty of iTunes credit to cover the monthly cost, then the monthly fee will be pulled from iTunes credits instead of my credit card.  Is that correct? 
    It sounds like the credit card is required in order to provide a backup payment option if the iTunes credits are all used up.  Is that also correct?
    You're awesome!! Thanks for the help.

  • Upgraded iCloud storage not showing the upgrade?

    Using iPhone 5s & new iPad Air.... Upgraded iCloud storage & it hasn't updated on either devices! Is there Anyway to see if you received my request & payment so I don't duplicate it?

    Contact the Apple online store for your country (1-800-MY-APPLE in the U.S. and Canada).  They should be able to verify that your upgrade purchase went through.

  • When I try to upgrade icloud storage I get an "unknown error" message. I can't install the software upgrade or back up my phone. HELP!

    Need help with icloud storage

    Not sure if you are trying to upgrade iCloud storage to make more room for the upgrade, but that won't help you. If you do not have enough room on your device for the upgrade, then you have to delete some things off of your device. You can also try to do the upgrade via iTunes on the computer you sync with. A direct upgrade does not require as much memory as a Wifi upgrade.
    Upgrading iCloud storage only provides more storage for your backups and for your iCloud sync'd items like messages, contacts, etc.
    Until the iCloud Drive is fully functional, iCloud will not help you to increase the memory capacity of your device.
    And, right now, the iCloud servers may just be overloaded with activity.

  • HT4847 How to make enough iCloud storage

    How to make enough iCloud storage? What would I need to delete?

    Just open to "Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage" and choose and delete what you do not need anymore (e.g. old backups or app data of which do not need and use anymore). 

  • HT4847 How do I find my upgraded icloud storage?

    I bought extra storage a month or so ago for the price of about $99, but I can not access it or link it to my iphone.

    Are you saying that you are signed into your account but you don't see the extra storage reflected in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup?  If so, try contacting the Apple online store at the number shown at the bottom of this page and have them confim that the purchase when through, and if so, ask them why you have received what you paid for.

  • HT4847 how do I purchase iCloud storage for family plan membe?

    My wife had her own iCloud storage upgrade but the card on her storage expired. Prior to the expiration I added her to iCloud family as a parent/guardian. Now, her storage upgrade has expired and she can't change it because she's on the family plan. She spoke to iCloud support and they said basically I have to buy it for her. How do I do that?  Why must this be so hard?  I've searched for solutions but can't seem to find Apple-authored solutuons that deal with this specific situation and don't see anywhere on my iphone where I can buy or share storage for her.

    I should add...her iphone, when trying to change her icloud storage, still shows that her card has expired and only allows me to re-enter the CVV code.  There doesn't seem to be any other option.

  • How to cancel an iCloud storage plan?

    I am getting charged a monthly fee for iCloud storage which I do not use. How can I cancel it? I've been everywhere and all I can seem to find are ways to purchase more storage, not cancel what I've got.
    Thanks,

    See this support document:  iCloud: Downgrade your iCloud storage
    Downgrading will not take effect immediately, note:
    The downgrade takes effect one year after your storage upgrade was initially purchased.
    On your Mac
    Open iCloud preferences, then click Manage.
    Click Change Storage Plan (in the upper right).
    Click Downgrade Options, then choose the storage plan you’d like to have.

  • Considering upgrading iCloud storage, questions

    Hi, I currently have an iPad 2 3G and an iPhone 4 32GB.  I've updated the firmware on the iPad 2 to 5.0 and therefore have iCloud.  It's setup and working fine, but due to the meager 5GB storage, not enough to backup the iPad.  I'm thinking of upgrading the storage to 15GB and paying the $20; I'm reluctant to pay any more than that until I see how it works.
    Here's the thing: I'm considering updating the iPhone 4 to 5.0 as well and therefore would also have that device on iCloud.  So the combined backups from both devices is what's got me in a bit of a bind, because I don't know how much space the iPhone 4 would use for its backup.
    So I wanted to get some feedback from people who already have iCloud in use for both devices so I can get an idea as to how I might proceed.
    Any information or feedback is appreciated, thanks!

    Hi,
    I have had no issues re iCloud backups so far, but re buying more space I will do this if and when the necessity arises. More for data and document storage as the required fees are cheep.
    At the end of the day it is your decision.

  • How to increase the icloud storage?

    how can i increase the storage of the iCloud account?

    Hey debbiefromphnompenh,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you wish to upgrade your iCloud storage. The following resource should assist you in doing so:
    iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4874
    Upgrade your iCloud storage plan
    You can increase the amount of storage by selecting a new plan from your iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac, or PC (for example, a 200 GB plan to replace a 20 GB plan). Your existing storage plan will be canceled, and you'll be charged the prorated cost for the upgrade (the cost of the higher-tier plan minus the prorated cost of the previous plan). Your plan is upgraded immediately and the new monthly payment date is updated to reflect the purchase date for the new plan. You'll be notified by email each month about 7 days before the monthly payment for your storage plan is due. Your storage upgrade is billed every month unless you cancel by downgrading your storage plan.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
