  • How to free up storage on iPhone 5 without deleting everything I have?

    How can I free up storage on iPhone 5 without deleting everything I have, which isn't much? And if I delete things off of my phone, am I going to ever get them back?

    The easiest way is to connect to iTunes and update from there.  Or, yes, you will have to delete a few of your largest programs, download & update to iOS7 and then re-download those programs you deleted.

  • How to free up storage on macbook air?

    My old mac recently crashed and in order for me not to lose all of my data I had to have my old hard drive completely transfered to my new Macbookair. What I didn't know was that I had only 4 GB of memory and that my hard drive was almost completely full after everything was transfered. I can't even backup my iphone/update the software because my computer does not have enough space.
    I want to uninstall programs that are of no use to me but I am afraid to uninstall the wrong ones. Is there a way for me to see what I am using and what I am not?

    May I suggest you perform some "disk forensics" first. You may want to see if there is information (data), or Local Backups taking up space that you can delete or transfer to an external disk for archiving.
    First, take a look at "about this mac", and click "more info" and look under rhe "storage" tab, to see if Local Backups are consuming space. If you have Time Machine enabled, and it's been a while suince you have synced, the space taken up can be considerable. Just turn off Time Machine for a day or so, or perform a sync to rid the computer these files.
    Also take a look at an app like Grand Perspective. It will let you identify the space hogs. You can then decide if the data files in your documents folder are worth of sidelining to an external disk.

  • How to use cloud storage on lumia 510

    Please let me know the procedure to use cloud storage. I know it has an option called share in skydrive. But it is disabled for me.

    You need to download and install an app called Skydrive from the Marketplace. Once installed, sign in to the Skydrive using the app and the same live id you are using for the phone.

    My iPhone is running out of storage.  I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone.  I have iCloud.  How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer?  I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

  • I need to free up storage on my iPhone 4s to do an update.  I have turned off my photo stream, but when I go into Usage Settings, it says that photo stream is using 3.7gb of space.  How do I get rid of this?

    i need to free up storage on my iPhone 4s to do an update.  I have turned off my photo stream, but when I go into Usage Settings, it says that photo stream is using 3.7gb of space.  How do I get rid of this?

    iCloud is not designed to "store" photos (as in long term storage).  iCloud can be used to sync photos from one device to another (photo stream) and to store a backup of the camera roll.  But that's pretty much it.
    Camera roll is the group of all photos taken by the device (but not other photos synced to the device from another source).  Your extra storage on icloud will do you no good.  The recommended way of storing photos on a device is to sync them to a computer.
    So, your questions..
    1) You don't/can't
    2) No, because of 1.
    3) On a computer, deleting large groups of photos is relatively painless.  not so on a device.
    4) You can't access photos on iCloud because they can't be store in icloud.  You can't view/access photos in a backup on icloud unless you restore a backup to a device.
    Read this...  import photos to your computer...

  • How do i delete others to free up storage on macbook pro

    how do i delete "others" to free up storage on my macbook pro?

    Erase the hard drive and reinstall OS X:
    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How do I permanently save my photos from my iPhone 5 to free up storage on the phone

  • HT1766 How to send videos from ipad air to the cloud to free up storage space on ipad

    How do I send videos from ipad air to the cloud to free up storage space on ipad?

    I had a similar/same problem - when I deleted the video locally, it did not appear as a Cloud video.
    To solve this, I deleted it locally, signed out of iCloud, powered of the iPad, powered back on, opened videos (empty), signed back into iCloud.
    Now all my videos are present in the cloud, and none locally.
    Not a great UX though

  • HT4759 How do I move photos from my Iphone to my PC to free up storage space?

    How do I move photos from my Iphone to my PC to free up storage space?

    You can connect your iPhone to your computer and your computer will see your iPhone as though it was a digital camera.  You'll be given options to transfer pictures just as you would a digital camera.  I'd create a folder in advance and maybe call it iPhone Pictures.  Transfer the pictures, then you can delete them from you iPhone.  You can always redownload them to your iPhone via iTunes sync.

  • My iphone storage is full, I deleted all photos but I still see photos occupy 2 GB!! how I can free some storage? Even my emails occupy 3 GB on my Iphone, how I can only delete them from my device?

    My iphone storage is full, I deleted all photos but I still see photos occupy 2 GB!! how I can free some storage? Even my emails occupy 3 GB on my Iphone, how I can only delete them from my device?

    for the photos: make sure you reboot the device so that the changes are taken into consideration.
    For emails: log out of your email account, make sure the emails from that account have been deleted, then log back in, and go to the mall app, but open only the inbox. as long as you don't open your email folders, the phone won't download them.

  • How do I free up storage space on a Macbook air?

    How do I free up storage space on a Macbook air?   My e-mail seems to be taking up the most space?

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Restart and it should go away.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.
