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 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 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

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,
Mario

This doesn't really answer my questions. How do I reduce storage? What's being stored in iCloud anyway? Just what's backed up on phones and iPad? Do I increase storage through my laptop in which case I click on the OS X or the iPad/Phones which is IOS.

Your iCloud account stores your iOS device backups as well as your synced data (contacts, calendars, notes, etc.) and iCloud email (if you have an iCloud email account). You can see how much is being used on your iPad by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage.
If you want to purchase more iCloud storage, you can do this on any of your iOS devices or computers that are signed into your iCloud account, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874.

Were it shows how much storage I have available it still says 9.9 even after all that I have done so I don't know if I need to change my storage plan or what but anything will help I guess

Check for 'others' in iTunes against your iPhone.
Restore from a previous backup to reclaim some of it.
Still want more, Restore in iTunes, setup as New.

Just upgraded to IOS 8.2. Settings app still crashes when attempting to manage music storage.

Just updated to iOS 8.2. Settings app still crashes when attempting to manage music storage.

Thanks for your reply. Any suggestions for ways to fix this? If I've already updated using my phone, am I just screwed?

My iPhones gives me a message that I don't have enough storage to backup. When I attempt to manage my storage it shows 1 backup for the phone I use and it's 5GB. I have transferred all my photos to my computer hoping it would create storage but no good.

My iPHone tells me I don't have enough iCLoud storage. When I manage my storage from Settings it shows 1 backup for my primary phone and it's 5GB. I understand that is what Apple provides for free and I could upgrade but I don't want to upgrade. I have transferred most all my photos to the computer and I have no music on my device. And this was several weeks ago and I have attempted to backup since hoping it would create a new backup but no good.
I have even went in the backup and turned off Camera Roll since it's the largest but still no good.
If you have any suggestions other than upgrade your storage plan please help.
Thanks

Try deleting the old backup.
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device name and on the resulting screen, scroll down and tap on Delete Backup.

Family shares an itunes account and ALL songs loaded on my phone with ios 7. how do I get only my songs?

My family shares an itunes account and ALL their songs loaded on my phone with ios 7 upgrade. Previously, while I could SEE songs "Not on this iPhone" they did not reside on my phone. How do I get only my songs? Do I have to sync with my computer? Help...

This is sad, as I am replying to myself. Upon further review I see that while all songs are LISTED, that are not actually there. By going to Settings - iTunes & App Store - "Show All" I was able to "turn off" SEEING purchases not made on my phone. Solved my own problem, but the way it looks in IOS 7 is confusing.

How to manage my daughter's new phone account

We just got my 11 year old daughter her first phone (a Samsung S3 Mini). The salesman told us we would be able to use the "Family Base" to control/ turn-on-off her phone, text, web access and email and we would have full control there. Our main goal (as we explained) was to let her have the phone, texting, and gmail, but to turn off her web access (unless she was being supervised - at home). He told us we would definitely be able to keep GMail on, and separately control her web access. Now that I am looking through the Family Base control center, I'm not really seeing all that. I see you can manage phone and texting (which we've decided to let her have on), but I don't see management of web access, and I don't see exactly how to manage that separately from her ability to email.
My second issue is... I would like to activate a "Find my Mobile" or "Find My Phone" type service (because I'm worried about her leaving her phone somewhere) but I'm wondering if this service requires that her phone have web access (and maybe location services on?) so that it can function.
Surely there are other adults out there trying to manage their kids the same way I am. Can someone please give me some tips/ best practices or suggestions on how to manage all this?
In addition to my concerns about managing her web usage (while maintaining email), what's the best "find my phone" that I should implement?
Thank you in advance.

A few things you can do here.
1) The Verizon Rep Lied to you
2) You can download Parental Control Apps from the Play Store that are password protected and work much better then Family Base. Look at those and dump Family Base
3) Download Where's my Droid. It will do all of the find my phone options and much more. check it out
4) You might also want to download something like Phone Tracker which will allow you to track the phone and its whereabouts near real-time so you can see where she is at all times. (Check local laws in your area first though to make sure you are legal doing this)

My iCloud storage is very nearly full but i can't find out how to manage it!

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,
I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this.
It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.
