HT1766 Why can't I use my camera on my iPhone 5, nor am I able to update an app, with my iPhone claiming that there is not enough storage, even though I paid for mor storage, and my phone claims I still have plenty storage... I guess i bought a$500doorsto

Why does my iPhone 5 keep saying "cannot download" "There is not enough storage to download 'Facebook'. (Btw, I already have fb on my iphone 5, just trying to update it). You can manage your storage in Settings... Well, in settings, I have plenty of storage left that I bought... called iCloud! What's up with this piece of $500 junk I bought from apple, that it won't allow me to record memorable moments in my life!!! Should I go back to android, which lets me record hours of video/audio/pictures, without ever "CHARGING ME EXTRA", never even a dime!!! What a waste of time, energy, resources, etc. I miss Steve Jobs... He wouldn't have screwed his customers over like this!

Go to Settings>General>Usage and see how much available local storage you have available. You can also see what apps are taking up the most room.
You say that you paid for more iCloud storage. That's for back ups. You can't download apps to it or steam media from it. In order to take pictures you have to have space on the phone itself.
Best of luck.

  • HT5262 I am nearly out of iCloud storage but I have over 3 gb on my iPad. I just bought a game that requires 1.5 gb but will not download to my iPad because it says that there's not enough storage in the cloud. Why can't I just download the game to my iPa

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • When streaming movies from itunes, I get an error that there is not enough storage

    I stream a movie for my kids and the ipad says that there is not enough storage available. I can stream from Vudu and Netflix with no issues. When I started streaming from itunes, I cannot due to this error.
    Still learning iOS, any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you in advance!

    iTunes Store does not stream movies.

  • I deleted my itunes library (after backing up) now i want to restore from TM to my MBA but its saying there is not enough room even though the library is 22GB and there is 27GB free on my MBA??

    Hi everyone,
    I deleted my itunes library (after backing up to my time machine) to download a large torrent,  now i want to restore my itunes library to my MBA from time machine but its saying there is not enough room on my MBA even though the library is 22GB and there is 27GB free on my MBA??

    Here's something else to consider:
    Since Snow Leopard, OS X uses a Decimal count for file size. iTunes however still uses a Binary count. What that means is: your iTunes library shows one size, while the folder shows another. Depending on the size of your library, this can be a pretty big difference.
    Yours won't be that much, but it may be enough to prevent it from moving to the MBA from the TM.

  • HT1766 my iphone 5c is saying that there is not enough storage in i cloud to back it up..... what do i do?

    What do i do when i dont have enough storage in i cloud to back up my iphone 5c

    Well, as normal, after posting I figured out my problem. My storage on the 5c was full. I had to go into Podcasts and delete old podcasts and free up the space. If you are getting the message your iCloud is not big enough then buy more storage in iCloud. That should solve your problem. I still think the 5c is a POS but I may be influenced due to the fact that I want a 5s. Cheap company I work for.

  • Why can't I delete some photos from my iphone 5c? There is no trash bin at the bottom of some of the photos so what option do I have to delete these photos?

    How do I delete photos from iphone 5c? Some photos do not include a trash bin at the bottom of the page. What are my options?

    It's actually more involved than any of these posts have mentioned. I just found out the hard way to completely delete photos from the iPhone.
    Step 1: Back-up your photos to a computer. Make sure that you have any pictures you want to save already downloaded to iPhoto or some other place. I'm not a huge iPhoto fan, but it was the easiest place to put the pictures from photostream and then move them elsewhere on my computer.
    Step 2: Turn off photostream. This deletes any pictures from the photostream on the phone or tablet.
    Step 3: Plug the iPhone/iPad into any Mac computer and open the Image Capture app. Now select your device and you see that most of the pictures are in there twice. Now select BOTH COPIES of any that you want to delete and press the delete button on the bottom of the window (it's the red circle with a slash through it). DO NOT SELECT ONE COPY AND LEAVE THE OTHER THINKING THAT IT WILL STAY ON THE DEVICE...ask me why I know.
    Step 4: Open iTunes and be pleasantly surprised that the 40000 gigs of space spent on photos has dropped to near zero.
    Step 5: Like this post to help bump it to the top and help people clear wasted data from their iPhone/iPad.

  • HT204264 I cant update my iphone because it says there is not enough space even though I have 188 gb of icloud storage available

    I cant find photos that I took in 2013 in ICloud but they were there before. I reset my ipad have I lost them forever?

    Has the drive been formatted for use with a Mac? If not, there is a size limitation or possibly the inability to copy to it. If it needs reformatting any data currently on it will be erased, so back it up if necessary.

  • Why does my Mac keep telling me that there is not enough memory when I need to open Excel?

    I have Excel installed on my iMac.
    I only use this rarely, mostly when I have grants to write for my students.
    When I try to open Excel, to look at an old document, I get the message that there is not enough memory, even though my Mac right now has 74 GB available.
    I really, really, really need to access these files, so am hoping for an answer to this puzzle!
    Thanks so much!!!

    OK, so here's what I did.
    First time, I reinstalled Office: 2008.  It must have sent the first one to the trash, because there were 9200+files in the trash once it was finished.  It looked for updates but didn't tell me that it needed any, so I tried to access Excel again, but got the same error message.
    So, then I dragged the whole Microsoft Office 2008 to the trash (it is still sitting there----question about this, too).  I reinstalled the whole thing again, but this time, it identified 3 updates that also needed to be installed.  I did that, and now, I am able to open Excel!
    Now my question about the trash:  if I empty the trash, am I going to lose all the files (especially worried about all the Word documents) that I had used the original one for, or, are all those documents, and the Excel files, still  there after the trash with the original Office 2008 is emptied; I wasn't able to only drag Excel to the trash so had to drag the whole thing.
    Am thinking that somehow those updates were never applied, which is very puzzling, because the first time I reinstalled, it didn't say anything about needing updates, but the second time, it did.
    Thank you!

  • I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

    I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

    This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage.  In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
    If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud.  To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back.  (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

    i deleted a ton of photos and videos from my phone but it's still telling me iCloud won't back up because there is not enough storage available.  how do i get around this?

    The Storage space its referring to is on iCloud. How much iCloud space is left, and how much space is your iPhone using?
    iCloud storage space and the iPhone's physical storage space are 2 different things.

  • How do I download a movie to my phone?  when I click 'rent' through itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage my local device storage usage in 'Settings'.  I have activated icloud, but this has not helped.

    How do I download a movie to my iphone 3G?  When I click 'rent' in itunes, I get a message that there is not enough available local storage, but I can manage storage on my device in 'Settings'.  I have activated icloud, but don't know how to change my storage so that I can rent and watch the movie on my phone.  thanks for any help you can give.

    I always do my Rentals with the itunes program on the computer.
    Make rental from itunes store. It will show in movies under library, DO NOT click to play it. Plug in the device to the computer. Click the name of the device on left. Click on movies. There is an  option to copy to the device. Sync. obviously you still need space on ipad to put rental but you can have it take computers hard drive space until you need it.

  • HT4623 I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete the udate because it said an error occurred. Then it said I needed to restore my phone and when I try to it wont let me restore my back up because it says there's not enough storag

    I did the ios6 software update on my iphone and it did not complete because it said there was an error. It then gave me a message that I needed to restore my phone. When I tried to restore my backup it says it cannot be completed because there is not enough storage. I cant delete anything to make more storage because my phone is not usable because it wont restore. What do I do?

    Something in your backup may be corrupt. Try wiping it and setting it up as a new device, then sync your apps, data and media back to it from iTunes. DO NOT resotre from your backup. If the problem is contained in the backup, it will bring it right back again if you restore.

    HI Ana ...
    I had FB working again two days ago, and yesterday in mid-serve Safari just "couldn't find the server" once more...
    That's a different issue...
    First, if you can just use English, open System Preferences > Language & Text then select the Language tab. Drag English to the top of the list then restart your Mac.
    Now for the server issue. Try using Open DNS. That shold help the "couldn't find the server" issue...
    Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
    Click +
    Enter these numbers exactly as you see them here.
    208.67.222.222
    Click +
    208.67.220.220
    Then click OK.
    Try accessing Facebook on Safari now.
