How to manage my storage?

ipad 2..keep telling that i need more gb..i have 15gb..
and is telling me how to manage my storage sign...setting
total storage 15gb
available 7.8gb

Regarding storage, is that storage on the device or storage in icloud?
Although this is the icloud forum, if you can't take photos, that's due to not having enough storage on the device (has nothing to do with icloud), so...
You have to delete files on your device. 
Delete apps you don't use.
Delete videos you don't want (these take up a lot of space).
Do you have a lot of emails stored on the device?
Are there apps that store data files, like a PDF reader?  If there are a lot of these, you need to delete some.
The bottom line is that you need to remove data and/or apps on your device to make more storage available.
But for videos and photos, always sync them to a computer first to archive them.

  • How to manage iCloud storage?

    My iphone and ipad say that the storage is full and it is not doing the back up or can't perform any upgrades to them because of the storage. How can I manage the storage?

    You can manage a device's backup by going into Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > 'device name' and change what apps are being backed up from it (on your iPad you can only manage your iPad's backup, you will need to do similar on your phone for its backup)

  • How to manage phone storage ios 6

    Hi,
    i have an issue with my dads phone. he is still using iphone 4 with ios6
    he wanted to download an app but there is this message popping out that he has no storage available.
    and when i looked up in his settings/storage... the number of apps and their storage could not complete 13GB.
    how do i solve this issue?

    Hey hhemeda,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource may help to determine what is taking up storage on your Dad’s iPhone 4. In any case, you are probably not receiving the prompt in error, so we’ll still need to clear up some space.

  • How to manage email storage on my iphone

    Hi there
    I have a 13GB iphone 5 which is running out of storage. When I look at my usage in the settings it says I have 1.2GB of mail. I only have a hotmail and bigpond account configured and have deleted as much email as possible but this has no impact in reducing the 1.2GB showing in the settings. I must only have about 40 emails on my phone which surely wouldn't use so much storage. How can I reduce the email storage to free up some room?
    Cheers
    Alan

    Hi sandeepvaja,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you have a lot of other data on the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Orphaned files might remain on your iOS device if it's physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, you might see a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device in the Capacity indicator in iTunes. Try these steps:
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • How do I manage my storage?

    I have been mulling this over, especially since I lost some projects when I sold my iMac and upgraded to a new MBP. Here is as consise an overview as I can summize -
    I have a MBP with 256 SSD running Logic Pro 9, Reason 6.5 and several plugins such as Camel Audio Alchemy - this SSD is almost full. I Time Machine back up to the 7200rpm 500GB which was replaced by the SSD - this external drive is almost full. I have an additional 1TB 7200rpm drive partitioned into 3; a 135GB (56GB free) back up of my very old G4 (much of which is probably not worth keeping); a 775GB (516GBfree) archive which includes my iMac Time Machine back up (the last back up failed before I safe erased the hard drive prior to selling, probably because I stopped it before it had finished); and a 90GB (60GB free) partition I created thinking I would use this partition for 3rd party loops and samples.
    I am sure the performance of my SSD is already affected by the amount of data on this drive even though I have only been creating new projects on this and sometimes copying old projects onto the SSD to continue reworking etc... and so my issue/query is thus, how do I manage this data/storage?
    Is it a good idea to strive towards only using the MBP with SSD for the program software and presets and try to keep all project files on external HDs?
    I currently have a number of projects doubled up with originals on the 1TB drive and reworking/remixing on the SSD/500GB drive - can/should I amalgamate?
    Similarly I have my own presets on multiple applications in the 2 separate locations, how should I manage this?
    Is having a 3rd party loops and samples partition a good idea?
    Is buying a lacie 4TB thunderbolt throwing good money after a confusing mess and can I continue with my current resources before I need to shell out that much cash?
    I feel like I need an IT department but I'm just a one man band!
    Any advice or support would be very welcome and gratefully received.
    cheers
    Andy

    I have had many of the same issues / dilemmas. Here is my opiniion for what it's worth:
    ANDY - Is it a good idea to strive towards only using the MBP with SSD for the program software and presets and try to keep all project files on external HDs?
    Yes.
    ANDY - I currently have a number of projects doubled up with originals on the 1TB drive and reworking/remixing on the SSD/500GB drive - can/should I amalgamate?
    Yes, I would try and keep them all on one drive
    ANDY - Similarly I have my own presets on multiple applications in the 2 separate locations, how should I manage this?
    What type of presets? I would keep these all together on the system drive as they should be quite small?
    ANDY - Is having a 3rd party loops and samples partition a good idea?
    Yes, kind of. I would have a separate drive for all 3rd party samples and sound libraries.
    ANDY - Is buying a lacie 4TB thunderbolt throwing good money after a confusing mess and can I continue with my current resources before I need to shell out that much cash?
    Maybe. Remember that however big a drive you have, you need to have another one at least as big to back everything up on to. Using time machine in any other way is a real pain.
    So, if it's any help, how I use manage my storage currently is this:
    1 x Macbook Pro with 500GB SSD - This contains all the applications and system data as well as any files I need to take with me if I go anywhere and don't take the external drives (certain MP3s for DJing). All the Logic 'Additional Content' is also on here, but I may need to move that soon (or delete it if I never use it)
    1 x USB3.0 bus powered 2TB WD portable hard drive - This contains all the sound libraries / samples that I need to be loaded quickly. Currently 928GB in total.
    1 x USB2.0 2TB WD external hard drive. This contains all data that doesn't need to be accessed regularly or very quickly (Unused applications, photos, videos, video tutorials, archive of MP3s not used anymore for DJing, and various backups of the internal SSD driver
    Then I would have a 4TB time machine backup external drive - if a WD elements one was available - at the moment they only go to 3TB, so I currently split the backup over 2 other drives manually.
    I also keep my current logic projects (for the current year) on the internal SSD for very quick loading. At the end of the year I move all the old ones I've finished with to the USB2 external drive.

    Hi karlos16,
    For the error message you are seeing, I found this article:
    iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992
    "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available."
    This message is displayed when there is not enough storage space available in your iCloud Storage to complete your backup. You can either reduce the amount of data you are backing up under Backup Options, or you can buy more storage.
    For the issue with the iPhone appearing to be unresponsive, I recommend this article for troubleshooting:

  • I have alot of apps i don't want to delete, and i make videos all the time,but how can i manage my storage wothout paying

    I need help, i need to manage my storage without paying or deleting app
    Do you guys know any video apps that don't take up a lot
    a storage

    There are two separate issues you are raising:
    " ... manage my storage without paying ...".  That refers to iCloud storage.  You have to pay for iCloud storage after you use 5GB.  That's not the critical issue in your case, because you need to be concerned with iPad storage - a completely different thing.
    Your iPad storage is some fixed amount that is on board your iPad machine.  You already paid for it and cannot add any or pay more for additional storage even if you want to.  But this is the storage to manage right now.  Go to Settings > General > Usage and you will see how much you are using and how much you have left.  You must always keep an absolute minimum of 10% of the total space free so your software can do its operations.

  • How to manage buy extra 5gb icloud storage in my iphone

    how to manage buy extra 5gb icloud storage in my iphone

    Before buying more icloud storage, be sure that, if you are having some problem like trying to back up to icloud, the lack of storage is not on your device.  If your device is short of storage, buying more icloud storage will not help.
    Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.

  • I am getting the message: There is not enough available storage to take a photo."  How do I manage my storage?

    I am getting the message: There is not enough available storage to take a photo.  You can manage your storage in Settings.  I don't know what to change without losing data, videos or photos.  What do I do?

    And in general.  keep an eye on your storage in Settings => General => About.
    Delete old emails when you can, especially those with attachments.  Delete old text messages, again especially those with attachments.
    Dump old programs that you don't use.
    Like razmee said, move pics and videos off your phone when you can.  Delete those bad pictures in your camera roll that are just taking up space.
    Look for programs like PhoneClean that you can use on your computer that will go in and delete all the cruft that gets left behind by apps that don't close properly.
    This will also help your phone run better as well.

  • IPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one but not all apps. I have more storage than the app takes. Can u help?

    iPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one of the apps, but not other apps.  I have more space available than needed for the app.  What do I need to do to fix this problem?  Do I need to completely reset this device as new and, if so, how should I do that? 

    You need to delete some item (apps, music, photos etc) from the iPod,.However, sometime files get corrupt. To determine that connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the "other" category. If over 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted files.
    To get the "other" down to normal value you need to restore your iPod usually restoring from backup works but sometimes restoring to factory settings.new iPod is required./
