How to apply extra storage once purchased on iphone

how to apply extra storage once purchased on iphone

What you bought is extra iCloud storage, not storage space for your iPhone. It gives you more room for storing backups of the device, but won’t help in the process of updating it; for that, you need to delete content from the device and/or update it from iTunes on the computer.
iCloud storage space can’t be applied to an iPhone or other iOS device.

    If your iPhone 4 was running iOS 5, you can't install iOS 5 on an iPhone 3G which means you can't restore the 3G from the backup of the iPhone 4 running iOS 5.

  • TS2446 I tried to reset my apple I'd and password and essentially start a new account as the extra storage I purchased wasn't working. Anyway I don't think I managed to complete, don't know if it worked but it says this email was already reg to this a/c??

    I paid for storage with iCloud, it's empty yet my iPad wont let me change. It to load to the storage, which I forked out for, and I can't even update my apps as my device seems to be so full, yet it won't go onto the storage-no option to do so??? Help

    iCloud does not give you more storage on your device.  The capacity of your iPad was fixed when you bought it.  iCloud only syncs your data and photos to other devices and backs up your devices (if you choose to do so).
    To create more free space on your iPad you need to delete some things.  You could, for example, import your photos and videos to your computer and delete them from your iPad (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).  You can also adjust your sync settings in iTunes to reduce the amount of music and other media stored on your iPad.

  • How to make more storage space to upgrade iPhone 4

    Can’t upgrade to IOS 8.0.2 b/c phone says, “This upgrade cannot be installed because it requires at least 4.7 GB of storage. You can make more storage available by deleting items in Usage Settings.” Phone says I only have 1.4 GB available. I’ve only got 1) 2.7 GB of music, 2) 161 MB of photos, and total of 2 GB of other apps. Everything else are Apple apps, such as contacts, safari, mail, etc. I cleaned out most photos.
    I’ve made a point of downloading very few apps and keeping all photos on my iMac, but the phone has filled up in only a few months. Seems only way to make any real space available is to have no music, no photos, and no apps. Only that will create 4.8 GB of available space. Is it just a phone then? Is there any other practical option?

    You can look in Settings > General > Usage > Storage > Manage Storage. That list will tell you what is taking up the most amount of space. Obvious culprits are photos and video. But games and magazine subscriptions are also very large.
    What you delete first depends on what you use your iPhone for. What is your priority? In any case, that list will at least help you see what takes up the most space and decide what should go first.

  • How do i permanently delete a purchase from iphone

    I downloaded a free coldplay album using the 12 days of christmas app a few days ago and now want to delete it - the music and video - not the app. I've removed theem all from my itunes but when i sync again they all re-appear and they never come off my phone. They take up space so I want them gone - i dont care if they appear on my purchases list (as a receipt blah blah blah)
    My phone is only set to sync music from 2 playlists, a few podcasts - no video at all and the tick box about musci video us left blank - so why is itunes forcing these files back onto my device?
    I never intend watching them again - so I need to remove the files from my phone and my itunes - pretty simple really but I dont appear toe be allowed to so it?
    Clues anybody??

    I should add that 'purchased' under playlists in the music sction has not been ticked. And if untick music completely then the audio bar (pale blue) shrinks to zero - but the video bar (purple) remains unchanged. Why can I not opt to un-sync all video and purchases?

  • Multiple Apple ID's and iCloud (purchased extra storage)

    My mom and dad want different iCloud accounts (so the contacts etc are not merged) They have bought the extra 20GB of iCloud storage for my Mom's phone. Here's the setup and apple ID's...  My question is how to split these and keep the extra iCloud storage on my mom's phone.
    Dad's iPad ID: [email protected]
    Mom's iPhone ID: [email protected]
    iCloud extra storage ID: [email protected]
    I want to change Mom's iPhone to: [email protected]
    and change the extra iCloud storage to: [email protected]
    I've already tried to change the ID of the iCloud but it will not let me because the email address for [email protected] is already used.
    I hope this makes sense to someone! 

    Hey rich!
    I'm taking a risk here and assuming that when you say "iPad ID" and "iPhone ID" you are referring to the iCloud ID on the mentioned device, right?
    If so,
    the extra storage was purchased with your dad's iCloud account and that's where it stays.
    Dad's iCloud ID can stay on his iPad, along with his extra storage.
    Go to Settings->iCloud and delete Dad's iCloud ID from Mom's phone.
    Log in to iCloud on Mom's phone with Mom's iCloud ID.
    (Does she already have this iCloud ID? If not, it may be taken by someone else and she would have to create a new one for her.)
    You cannot move the extra storage to Mom's iCloud ID. MAYBE, just MAYBE iTunes can do it, but I seriously doubt it. Contact them for assistance. (apple.com/support/itunes and select Contact iTunes)
    I don't fully understand the need to purchase extra storage for just one device. Now, if you had multiple iOS devices (like for your business), then I can see it. I back up a 32g iPad and a 16g phone using less than half of 1G of my iCloud storage.
    Good luck

  • TS3988 how do I cancel storage that I have purchased...i get directed to the support page, but it becomes an endless loop and nowhere can I fond the cancel option...

    I purchased 20gb of iCloud storage but want to change it to 50gb. However, I cannot find where to get the original purchase cancelled so that I can upgrade. Only option is to purchase an additional 50gb which I dont want to do. Does anyone know how to apply to cancel the purchase...get sent in endless loops

    I purchased an Brand New iPod Nano on ebay and I have
    finally recieved it. I have registered it but
    everytime I go to the support page and type in the
    serial number, it says that this iPod was purchased
    back in January, and asks you to register it with
    apple. Now I know that January is probably when the
    ebay seller bought the iPod but when can I actually
    veiw my warranty? I recieved an email from apple
    confirming my registration. And another question,
    will my 1 year warranty go all the way to "next"
    April or will it go to January of 2008?
    YOUR warranty is for the balance of the 1 year from the date of original purchase/registration... to January 2008.

  • Extra Storage Purchased via Apple

    I just bought an extra 10GB  of storage for my iPhone for £14 via Apple but the extra storage has not been added. I have tried turning the phone off and rebooting it. Can you help please?

    No you didn't, because you can't buy extra storage for an iPhone - it is impossible, which is why you have a choice ot purchasing with 16gb, 32 or 64gb.
    If you need extra storage space on your iPhone, then you either need to delete some things from your phone that are already on it or purchase a new phone with 64gb built in, but NO you can't purchase extra storage for an iPhone - it's not possible to do it.

  • Does it take long for icloud extra storage to go on phone

    How long does extra storage space take to go on phone

    The question makes no sense.
    iCloud storage is on the cloud. It cannot go on the phone.
    Its space on a server at Apples server farm.  Buying More iCloud storage does not increase physical storage space on the phone.

  • How can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

    how can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

    Purchasing additional storage only applies to iCloud, not to the phone itself. You cannot purchase additional storage for the phone, only purchase a larger capacity phone. If you have deleted all of the content that you can, then that is all of the space that you have. What is it exactly that you are trying to do? Does this have to do with space for performing an OTA update of the iOS?
