HT1222 My iPhone 5 keeps saying I don't have enough storage to update software even though I just purchased 15GB of storage. Can anybody please explain this to me? I'm really not tech savvy AT ALL so I don't have a clue what to do :(
My iPhone keeps telling me I don't have enough space to update my software. But I just bought 15GB of storage, of which 11.7GB is free! So I don't understand. Can anybody please help me? I'm really bad with technology so I don't have a clue.
Hi Caroline,
The storage issue you are having is not related to iCloud. The error is telling you that you do not have enough room on your device itself. You need to go to Settings>General>Usage, and under the Storage section at the top, it lists all of your apps and other things taking up room on your device.
You will have to delete or reduce the size of items on this list in order to free up some room for your update.
Also, you may want to try the update by hooking up your device to iTunes on the computer you sync with. It does not require as much free memory to update via iTunes as it does OTA.
Cheers,
GB

Version 5.5.2 (552.11). Updates tells me this is the up to date version, however I keep seeing a window asking me to update to 5.5.3. I try this and normally receive 'software is up to date'. Today something downloaded but I cannot remember what.
Also, when opening up Airport Utility I don't always get to find the airport extreme. Sometimes I do. Every time I try I am also able to carry out a backup using timemachine and can also see the drive on Finder.
In addition,
I have a 1TB drive hooked up to the USB port. I cannot see it in finder even though I seem to be able to see Time Machine Backups under 'Devices',
I cannot find a way to access the 1TB drive. I have hooked it to a local USB on my Macbook Pro and it works fine.Just bought my Time Capsule today and had the same issue, or actually I did see it at first then allowed some software updates but after I restarted my computer, Airport Utility no longer recognized it. Solution: I had to reset my TC to factory settings by pushing the end of a pin into the Reset button (tiny hole in the back of your TC) and holding a few seconds until the amber light starts flashing rapidly. After that try the Airport Utility again and this worked for me. Good luck!

I Backed my iPhone up to my computer before getting a new Apple Id, but now when I try to load it on it says there's not enough room. Help please!
Sounds like you were running right at the maximum capacity of the iPhone when you made the backup, but you've since updated the iOS which is now taking up a little more space than the previous version.

Don't have enough space for an app even though I know I do?
I Can't download an app (The World Ends With You: Solo Remix) because I "don't have enough space" even though I know I have enough space. The app is 659 Mb, but I have 1.0 Gb available according to iTunes when I plug my phone into my Mac (I also have 1 full Gig of space used by "Other" among Audio, Video, Apps, etc. What is "Other?") I've also failed to download the app through my Mac because it automatically tried to download apps I had deleted some time ago. My dad claims it sometimes won't download if it "Thinks you might fill it up" although I don't believe that's the case. Does anyone know what to do? I spent 9 bucks on this thing, It's even on SALE.
Thanks, I figured that out after I posted the question, so I cleared out a lot of space, but it still won't download. The app is supposedly 659 Mb according to the App Store, meaning it needs anything from about 1318 to 1967 Mb to download, if it's anywhere around 2 or 3x, But it still fails even after I cleaned up for a total of 2.2 Gb. I've got no clue really, my best guess is it's still not enough and needs 3.5 or 4x, but I could be wrong. Thanks anyway, any other clues?

Music in the event browser but it is not working in my video, can someone please explain this to me?
Hi I've been working on a Mac fir less than a week now and I'm using Final Cut Pro X.
For some odd reason my music isnt picking up in the timeline correctly, but is showing the audio file in the Event Library.
There are to Macs where I work and they are copies of each other; so what happens on the one happens on the other. With this in mind I duplicated the project and copied it onto the other Mac.
The odd thing about it is that 3 out of the 5 audio clips just dont pick up in the timeline that it is in the event library but you can manually find them there.
I would just like to know as how you can fix this, as I am working on a small project at the moment and if the project was bigger I would be in searious trouble.Please give the exact specifiations of the audio you're talking about? Is it compressed audio? It probably needs to be converted.

I've just recently bought a white iphone formy daughter and am trying to put my sim into her old one but can only make emergency calls. How do I get round this? Not tech savvy at all as you can probably gather. Thanks
Did you connect your iPhone to the computer and sync it with iTunes? You will need the internet as well as Apple will unlock your iPhone over the internet via iTunes. Let us know if this helps.

My MacBook Air is so slow lately....I have a 3 month old new OS X, 10.9.1 version. I use Mozzilla Firefox......I am not tech savy! Arlene.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything suggested in this comment. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. It does nothing but produce human-readable data about the state of your computer. However, you need to be cautious about running any program at the behest of a stranger on a public message board. If you question the safety of the procedure suggested here — which you should — search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only run the test in safe mode, proceed anyway.
If you have more than one user, and the affected user is not an administrator, then please run the script twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The administrator is the user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time. If you can't log in as an administrator, just run the script as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it.
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.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
clear; shopt -s extglob; Fb='%s\n\t(%s)\n'; Fm='\n%s:\n\n%s\n'; Fs='\n%s: %s\n'; PB="/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print"; Pm () { [[ "$o" ]] && o=$(sed 's/^/ /' <<< "$o") && printf "$Fm" "$1" "$o"; }; Pc () { o=$(egrep -v '^[[:blank:]]*($|#)' "$2"); Pm "$1"; }; Pp () { o=$($PB "$2" | awk -F'= ' \/$3'/{print $2}'); Pm "$1"; }; Ps () { o="${o##+( )}"; R () { [[ "$r" -eq 0 ]]; }; [[ "$o" -ne 0 ]] && printf "$Fs" "$1" "$o"; }; a=$(id | grep -w '80(admin)'); r=1; [[ "$a" ]] && { sudo true; r=$?; }; t=`date +%s`; clear; { [[ "$a" ]] || echo $'No admin access\n'; [[ "$a" && "$r" -ne 0 ]] && echo $'No root access\n'; system_profiler SPSoftwareDataType | sed '8!d;s/^ *//'; o=$(system_profiler SPDiagnosticsDataType | sed '5,6!d'); fgrep -q P <<< "$o" && o=; Pm "POST"; o=$(nvram boot-args | awk '{$1=""; print}'); Ps "boot-args"; o=$(ls /L*/L*/Dia*/*.panic | wc -l); Ps "Panics"; o=$(ls /L*/L*/Dia*/*.c* | tail); Pm "System crash logs"; o=$(ls L*/L*/Dia* | tail); Pm "User crash logs"; o=$(syslog -F bsd -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'GPU |hfs: Ru|I/O e|n Cause: -|NVDA\(|pagin|SATA W|timed? ?o' | tail -n25 | awk '/:/{$4=""; $5=""; print}'); Pm "Kernel messages"; o=$(df -m / | awk 'NR==2 {print $4}'); [[ $o -lt 5120 ]] && Ps "Free space (MiB)"; o=$(($(vm_stat | awk '/Pageo/{sub("\\.",""); print $2}')/256)); o=$((o>=1024?o:0)); Ps "Pageouts (MiB)"; s=( $(sar -u 1 10 | sed '$!d') ); [[ ${s[4]} -lt 90 ]] && o=$(printf 'User %s%%\t\tSystem %s%%' ${s[1]} ${s[3]}) || o=; Pm "Total CPU usage" && o=$(ps acrx -o comm,ruid,%cpu | sed '2!d'); Pm "Max %CPU by process (name, UID, %)"; o=$(kextstat -kl | grep -v com\\.apple | cut -c53- | cut -d\< -f1); Pm "Loaded extrinsic kernel extensions"; R && o=$(sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|calendarse|cups|dove|isc|ntp|post[fg]|x)/{print $3}'); Pm "Loaded extrinsic daemons"; o=$(launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)|\.[0-9]+$/{print $3}'); Pm "Loaded extrinsic user agents"; for d in {/,}L*/{La,Priv,Sta}*; do o=$(ls -A "$d" | egrep -v '\.DS_Store|^com\.apple'); Pm "$d"; done; o=$(find -L /S*/L*/E* {/,}L*/{A*d,Compon,Ex,In,Keyb,Mail,P*P,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo}* -type d -name Contents -prune | while read d; do ID=$($PB\ :CFBundleIdentifier "$d/Info.plist") || ID="No bundle ID"; egrep -qv "^com\.apple\.[^x]|Accusys|ArcMSR|ATTO|HDPro|HighPoint|driver\.stex|hp-fax|\.hpio|JMicron|microsoft\.MDI|print|SoftRAID" <<< $ID && printf "$Fb" "${d%/Contents}" "$ID"; done); Pm "Extrinsic loadable bundles"; o=$(find /u*/{,*/}lib -type f -exec sh -c 'file -b "$1" | grep -qw shared && ! codesign -v "$1"' {} {} \; -print); Pm "Unsigned shared libraries"; o=$(launchctl getenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES); Pm "Inserted libraries"; R && o=$(sudo profiles -P | grep :); Pm "Profiles"; o=$(find {,/u*/lo*}/e*/periodic -type f -mtime -10d); Pm "Modified periodic scripts"; for f in fstab sysctl.conf crontab launchd.conf; do Pc $f /etc/$f; done; Pc "hosts" <(sed '1,10d' /etc/hosts); Pc "User launchd" ~/.launchd; R && Pc "Root crontab" <(sudo crontab -l); Pc "User crontab" <(crontab -l); R && o=$(sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook); Pm "Login hook"; Pp "Global login items" /L*/P*/loginw* Path; Pp "User login items" L*/P*/*loginit* Name; Pp "Safari extensions" L*/Saf*/*/E*.plist Bundle | sed 's/\..*$//;s/-[1-9]$//'; o=$(find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 \) | wc -l); Ps "Restricted user files"; cd; o=$(system_profiler SPFontsDataType | egrep "Valid: N|Duplicate: Y" | wc -l); Ps "Font problems"; o=$(find L* -type f ! -size 0 -name *.plist ! -exec sh -c 'plutil -s "$1" >&-' {} {} \; -print); Pm "Bad plists"; o=$((`date +%s`-t)); Ps "Elapsed time (s)"; } 2>/dev/null | pbcopy; exit 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the script will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important, so don't worry about it.
The script may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. There is no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window.
You can then quit Terminal. The output of the script will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. All you have to do is paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V again. If any personal information, such as your name or email address, appears in the output, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary. Please don't copy anything from the Terminal window.
When you post the output, you might see in your browser the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the output on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may offer you advice based on the output of the script. They speak only for themselves and I don't necessarily agree with their views.

My iphone keeps saying in order to buy a song from itunes, I need to previde the answer to security questions but I don't remember the answers and i've tried to change it but in order to do that, I need the answers.
You canot easily change your country settings. The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE -
IPhone keeps saying it is connected to headphones and it is not
My new Iphone keeps saying the headphones are connected so I can not talk on the phone with it up to my ear. And none of the buttons make any sounds when Iam texting. I tried to reboot it, and restored with my old Iphone on Itunes. Is there something I am missing or is it just not working?
you can try a restore
it does sound like a hardware issue so if that doesn't work then just return it (DOA) and get a new one -

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage. -
Hi there,
Wondering if you might know? I don't have enough space to update the new software on iPad. So my facetime isn't working anymore, this is prob why. Seems I have to delete like all the games/apps we have to do so. Will I lose the progress data/levels in the games? But how do I back up the games data?
Please help. Scared to delete them to update and then not have the space to restore them and if I get them again will the levels/progress be gone?
Thanks RachelConnect your device to iTunes and do the update through iTunes. Using a computer takes much less space on your device than doing the update on your device.

9/12/10: More details: Firefox 3.6.9 goes to sites without my clicking on them (Google-Analytics, Wordslife, a gossip magazine, among others.). Google-Analytics and Wordslife appear as an address on a tab only; the gossip mag. appears when I minimize another site I'm on. I get a lot of "Firefox can't connect." I click "Try again." It usually does.
I have Windows XP (Pro, I think), Norton Internet Security and Ad-Aware. I use Outlook Express and g-mail. I have an account at Yahoo mail, but I rarely use it.
Also, my husband just swtiched us to a different router, but he hasn't experienced these problems.
Copy and paste ALL the info. from Troubleshooting? Holy cow! Okay :)
I am not tech-savvy, so I hope I'm clear on the problems. Thanks for whatever help you can give!Hello giamflo,
I would recommend disabling your Norton 360 security. Navigate to device manager and right click on the USB Mass Storage driver that has a yellow exclamation mark and select uninstall. Make sure the BlackBerry smartphone is not plugged in and restart your computer. Once back up connect your BlackBerry smartphone before opening BlackBerry Desktop Software or re enabling Norton 360. Let windows install the drivers once you connect your BlackBerry smartphone and test with My Computer to make sure it was successful.
Thank you and have a great day.

How can i delete an app on my desktop that says it won't delete because it's still open, even though i have done force quit numerous times? I even deleted it's files in my Finder and it just won't go away. Help please!! TIA
Restart the computer then delete it.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
1. AppZapper 2.0.1
2. AppDelete 3.2.6
3. Automaton 1.50
4. Hazel
5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
6. CleanApp
7. iTrash 1.8.2
8. Amnesia
9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1
