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 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.

    You don't. Delete 'stuff' you don't need or buy a phone with more storage. you can not increase or upgrade the internal storage in the iPhone.

    You're out of space.   Do you sync music to your phone?   If so, try syncing it over in 128kb which will save a lot of room.   Option is right in front of you in iTunes when you plug phone in.

    Cannot update my phone as message comes through "updating to iOS 7.0.4 requires at least 610 MB of free space on your iPhone.  Please change your media sync options to make more storage available"
    What media sync options?  Where are they ? How do I change them?

    Afraid, this doesnt help.  I've already unselected about 100 iTunes, resynced, and I still get the same message about 610 MB needing to be deleted.
    What is so magic about 610 MB as a number?
    Is this anything to do with iCloud? I was on the free 20 MB offeruntil last month and then got downgraded to 5 because I could n't see the need for paying for extra Cloud space.   Is this the reason why?

    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.

    HHow do I change media sync options to make more storage available

    Hi Gohs07,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The resources below will explain some options for downloading and syncing video to create smaller files on the iPhone:
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-gb/ts4223
    Download previously purchased content in a lower resolution
    The easiest way to put purchased videos onto your device is to download the videos from iTunes in the Cloud. This should make sure that you get the highest resolution video optimized for your specific device. Learn more about downloading from iTunes in the Cloud.
    Syncing video to iPhone 3G or earlier, iPod touch (1st or 2nd generation), iPod classic, iPod 5th generation, or iPod nano (3rd, 4th, or 5th generation)
    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. You can download the latest version for free here.
    Open iTunes on your computer.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Navigate to your Purchased page. Find it by clicking Movies or TV Shows from the top navigation bar in the iTunes Store, and then click Purchased from "QUICK LINKS" in the iTunes Store.
    Choose the appropriate video type: Movies or TV Shows.
    In the lower-right corner of the screen, deselect the box next to "Download HD When Available."
    Search for the desired video and click the download button.
    This should download the standard definition version to your computer so you can sync to your device.
    1 Currently 1080p content is compatible with iPad (3rd generation), Apple TV (3rd generation), and a Mac or PC.
    2 Some movies may not be available from iTunes in the Cloud. Learn more about where iTunes in the Cloud is available.
    Notes: Your computer must meet the minimum system requirements for proper playback of 1080p content.
    For movies which are available from iTunes in the Cloud, purchasing the movie will download the HD version to sync to your compatible iOS devices. When you purchase movies in HD that are not currently available for iTunes in the Cloud, the movies will download both the HD and SD versions to sync to your compatible iPod and iOS devices. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some previously purchased movies are not available for iTunes in the Cloud.

  • HT204390 Please let me know whether I can make more storage available by deleting items in usage settings

    My attempt to upgrade to iOS 8.0 resulted in massage as it requires 4.7 GB Space I am required to make more storage available by deleting items in usage settings I have valuable photos of 6.9 GB. Suggest me if  I delete the photos how do I get them back. Is there any possibility of increasing the storage of my iPAD mini Sl. No. F4*******193. (Mode MD528LL/A).
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Back your photos up somewhere. E-mail them somewhere, upload them to dropbox, back them up somewhere. If you delete them they're gone. Also iOS8 drastically alters how photostream and the such works, so read up and back up your photos or you may lose them.
    If you're short on space on  your ipad, try doing the upgrade via iTunes and your computer. Then your computer supplies that expansion room and you wont' need to delete stuff off the iPad.

  • How to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

    how to make more than one partition on Airport Time Capsule?

    Only for the very brave......
    Open up the Time Capsule (voids the warranty)
    Pull the hard drive
    Place the hard drive in a separate enclosure
    Connect the enclosure directly to your Mac
    Use Disk Utility to partition the hard drive
    Reinstall the hard drive back in the Time Capsule
    For the rest of us.....
    The next best thing might be to set up one or more disk images on the Time Capsule, which will allow you reserve a given amount of space for each disk image.
    Open up Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
    Click on the New Image tab
    Navigate to the Time Capsule
    Set up the disk image by naming it and specifying how much space you want to reserve

    Hello.
    Probably you fill the internal table with too much data and it cannot hold that much.
    You can either redesign the program so that it processes the data in batches of, say 100000 records, or contact your BASIS team and ask for their help. They could possible assign more memory to the running applications.
    Reward if helpful.
