IPhone 4updated today. Now it's restored and starting as new phone says backup from iTunes as luckily I'm hoping it backed up this morning. Now it won't do it as says not enough space on phine thither info came off the phone this am!! Help

all my info is on the phone it won't let me go further and no don't mention the cloud before you ask. I have no idea what cloud is or how to get stuff on there. I just want my phone and contacts and messages and photos back. Help please

Welcome to the discussions,
are you using the same iTunes account? If no, did you authorize iTunes with his account info again before you connected his phone?
To keep your accounts separate on one PC, create a new windows user, log in, disable autosync in iTunes, set up the second account and back up manually by right clicking on the device in the device list and choosing "backup". This will save data, pictures taken with the phone and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer. Music, unless bought in iTunes and transferred with your purchases, is not part of the backup. But you can share music between different accounts on one computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your phone got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

When you are viewing the tracks on the hard disc, did you then click on "Import CD"? This is needed to initiate the importing process that will add the tracks to your library.

I deselected all the songs on my itunes to try and get it to sync and I keep getting the same message. Any tips?

Hey csumner1,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Resolution
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is 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, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
          - If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
          - Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
          - Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
          - Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
          - Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
6. Restore using iTunes.
Thanks,

HT1296 when syncing with itunes with my i pad it says not enough space ? dont know why as my i pad is a 16gb

When syncing with i tunes message comes up saying not enough space and i cant understand why as ipad is 16GB

- Because as the message says what you want to sync to the iPad exceed the space available on the iPad. You either have to sync less to the iPad or delete some items from the iPad.
- Also, in the colored bargraph that shows the distribution of storage on the iPad, how large is the "other" category? If larger than about 1 1/2 GB then restoring the iPod should reduce that so you can regain that storage.

I transferred my files, including iTunes, to a new computer. When I go to sync, it says I'm still synced with the old, do I want to erase and resync. AND then it says not enough space. What to do?

Pictures, assuming they were taken with the device, can be copied off at any time. This has nothing to do with syncing.
If the pictures were instead synced to the device via iTunes, they are not the original images. Instead, they are optimized copies of the originals for display on the iPhone. There is software that can extract them, google it.
Where is the backup of the computer? And before you ask, the iPhone, like all iDevices, is not and has never been a backup device.

When I try to restore my iPod touch 4G I get error 3194 and I have the latest version of iTunes

When I try to restore my iPod touch 4G I get error 3194 and I have the latest version of iTunes

Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
Are you trying to restore to a PC or an Mac? Either way, I'd remove iTunes, empty the trash, restart, and download/install the latest version. Also, check the versions of OS that the latest build of iTunes will work with.

TS1702 trying to upload apps but it says not enough space can we purchase more space from ICloud or something or do we need to delete some things on the IPod to make more room?

we are trying to sync apps, music etc. to my IPod touch but it is saying there is not enough room to upload the apps etc. from our ITunes library on my PC. Are we able to purchase more space for example on ICLOUD for more storage or do we need to delete some of the items so there is enough room for the things we really want.
Also, if we do need to delete some of the stuff now on IPod touch, how do I find out how much space is used up by each item so we can delete necessary items to make enough space?
Thank you,
Kellyfunpass

You need to delete some items from the iPod. After you install the app you can redownload then as storage space allows, by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
To download and install an app you need storage available equal to about three times the file download size.

Can't sync iphone to itunes; says not enough space but it's double counting content on phone and same content in itunes

My iphone is pretty full but there is still some space.
I tried to sync to update it from itunes and it says it needs 9 more gigs of space to sync, which is ridiculous and wrong. I deleted a ton of content in itunes on my computer and it still says it needs 8 gigs.
So I looked at the content that itunes on my computer says is on my phone - it only sees 2 songs, the last two I downloaded and synced. It doesn't see the rest of the 700 as being on my phone.
I think for some reason the itunes in my computer is not recognizing the identical content on the phone as already downloaded and it thinks it still needs to download all the content from my computer to the phone - thus double counting as it sees that the phone is almost full but isn't recognizing 99% of the itunes content is already on the phone.
Not sure how to get out of this do-loop. I'd hate to erase the content on my phone and start over in case it still won't sync. At least now I have the vast majority of the content I want on the phone on it.

Had same problem. Then I played a purchased song (on my iMac), connected by iPhone and ran a sync, go same message about 27 songs (in my case) not authorized for download, all of which were purchased songs. then went back and went to iTunes store and tried to log in. Then it asked me from my password which rang a bell!!! I'd changed my password last week. Entered new password and voila!! problem solved!

I have 5GBs of free space. Itunes saying not enough space to sink. Help?

My IPhone says I have 5GBs of free space. When I try and sync my music a message pops up saying I need 2.24 more GBs and that my phone won't hold all of my selections. I have already deleted 1000 songs that I had on there from my previous sync and it still doesn't work. I had 2900 songs on there before have cut it down to 1900 and still nothing. Anyway to solve this problem?
Thanks,
AM

Don't delete items on the iPhone. Syncing will take care of this.
You need to delete times you have selected to sync.
Create playlist(s) and add songs, You can see how large these playlists are.
You can then sync only those playlists.

Time Machine won't overwrite oldest backup ? ..says not enough space

Seemed to start sometime after installing Snow Leopard..
Used Time Machine Buddy, it says:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/LaCie Disk/Backups.backupdb
Event store UUIDs don't match for volume: Macintosh HD
Node requires deep traversal:/ reason:must scan subdirs|new event db|
Starting pre-backup thinning: 56.32 GB requested (including padding), 5.69 GB available
No expired backups exist - deleting oldest backups to make room
Error: backup disk is full - all 0 possible backups were removed, but space is still needed.
Backup Failed: unable to free 56.32 GB needed space
Backup failed with error: Not enough available disk space on the target volume.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*"Backup failed with error: Not enough available disk space on the target volume."*
Make sure you have sufficient disk space on your startup disk to back up to...
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
*"Backup Failed: unable to free 56.32 GB needed space"*
In this case you need a minimum of 60GB of disk space for that back up.

HT201317 I have over 300 photos and 87 videos on my iphone 5. each time I plug in for battery I get a message saying not enough space, need to buy more, so I did yesterday. While attempting to do icloud storage again it said would take 83 hours.

I have over 300 photos and 87 videos. When I recharge the battery I am geting the message to buy more storage to because not enough icloud space. So I did yesterday. That went ok, but the new message tells me it will take 83 hours. Perplexed I went thru the settings and turned off apps and their data that I didn't realize where on. Now I'm not sure if I needed to purchase more storage but it is still taking forever to complete the task. Am I on the right track with this, meaning will take forever to store all my photos or what ? The only other item I have on to store is contacts. Can you assist me ? Thanks - emoslim

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.
