HT201269 i hardly have things on my iphone but its saying my memory is over capacity

im having trouble with my memory being over capacity

Hello lyndsey1430,
From what I can gather, it sounds like you're having issues restoring your device. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning recovery mode:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Use recovery mode
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes. 
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again. 
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.
Get more help
Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

  • I have music on my iphone, but Itunes says 'Music - zero items' when iphone connected. How do i manage my songs?

    Background info: I have music on my iphone that i would like to change / delete / update manually. Software versions of both itunes and iphone are up to date.
    So, in chronological order:
    When i connect my iphone to my PC, itunes detects it. Fine. No problem.
    I click on the 'on this iphone' tab (where I would expect to see the music i know to have on my iphone)... It says 'Music - zero items'. Hmmmm - i know i have over 1 GB of music on there...
    I click on the summary tab for my iphone. 'Manually manage music and videos' is checked. The status bar at the bottom shows i have over 1 GB of 'other' information on my iphone, but no music.
    Basically what i'm after is being able to delete and add music from my itunes to my iphone as i see fit. At present i am unable due to the reasons outlined above. Tried contacting Apple direct but providing me with only 140 characters to describe the problem to them is.. well... pretty w@nk.
    Any help appreciated- have been scouring the discussion boards but cannot find anything that correlates directly.
    Thanks in advance

  • I lost my iphone the other day, and have tried find my iphone, but its offline. is there any way to put my specific serial number under a lost tag?

    my iphone was lost on friday. Find iPhone on iclkoud says its offline. can i put my serial number of my iphone under a lost title or something so when someone tries to put a new plan on it or register it it will alert me??

    If it is showing off line, either the battery is dead, the SIM has been removed or the iPhone has been restored. Report it to you carrier. Some offer blacklisting. You can also send a remote wipe to the phone via iCloud. There was also the option to send you an email if the phone is located when you were in Find My iPhone. Report it to law enforcement, change the passwords on all accounts that were on the device. Did you have a passcode on it?

  • I hardly have any apps or photos but phone says I only have 1gb available

    i went to manage my storage under settings and it says I have 1gb available and 11 gigs used. I added up the size of my apps in the manage storage and have probably under 2 gigs. Why is this? I don't use backup or iCloud. I have no idea why this is the case. i have an iPhone 6 with 16 gigs and the latest iOS 8.1.3
    i have no photos, music and I don't use iCloud or backup my phone on a regular basis.

  • I have a 16gb iPad 2, But its saying that its capacity is 14gb, why is this?

    I have an iPad 2 and it is the 16gb one however, when I view my iPad summary in itunes and look at the overall capacity, it says that its capacity is only 14gb? Why is this? As this is clearly not what it used to be like
    Please Help! 

    That is perfectly normal. The storage capacity of the device as listed is TOTAL capacity. The preinstalled apps and the iPad OS account for the remainder of the space on the device,

  • I dropped my iphone 4s in water and now everytime i plug it in it show a charger pointing to a itunes thing i have tryed to recover it but its not working!! what do i doooo?!?!?!

    i was at the beach and was washing my shoes off then it fell in the water it was working alright but then it died and will not turn on and keeps showing the same thing i have tried to recover the iphone a couple of times but its saying the same thing.. do i have to go get it repaired if so how much... please help!!!

    If you are talking about the warranty from Apple that would have expired when your iPhone hit the water. So it doesn't matter. Just take it to Apple and purchase an out of warranty replacement for it.

    So what can I do? I have Scrabble on my IPhone but since I downloaded the current update, I can no long play my games.  It constantly says "Error" Please try again later but it continues to say the same thing time and time again.  I purchased the game so I don't want to lose it.  I deleted and and placed back on my phone but still the same.  I'll take the old Scabble back if I could get it back.  What to do??

    If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.  If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0.

  • I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM

    I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint, only a WIFI printer,my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ?

    I have an Ipad and Iphone but I don't have an Airprint at home but only a WIFI printer, my question is if I connect the wifi printer to Airport express, can I print from Ipad and Iphone ? Please help me if anyone knows about this.

    Unfortunately, connecting a non-AirPrint-enabled printer to an AirPort base station's USB port will not make it AirPrint-ready.
    You will need to use another solution, like Printopia, to be able to print to this printer from an iOS device.

  • I have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone. How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

    I have 2 iPhones (1 personal, 1 business) but use the same Apple ID. I have replaced my personal iPhone but it has restored to my work iPhone settings (photos/contacts/messages etc.) How do I restore it to my personal iPhone settings?

    You're welcome.
    First check to be sure the new phone is running the same or higher version of iOS as the one you backed up (Settings>General>About>Version).  If it isn't, you'll need to update the iOS first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the options, choose Restore from iCloud backup and follow the prompts, choosing the backup of your personal phone to restore to.
    Be sure the phone is connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

    My texts have stoipped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose  texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem continues.

    Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)?  Could be an issue at their end.

  • Why is it i am trying to sync my music to my iPhone but it says i have not authorised the computer, but i have authorised it. how can i get around this?

    why is it when i am trying to syc my music to my iphone but it says i have authorised my laptop...but i have authorised it!
    how do i stop this and get my music onto my iphone?

    If you look at the details of the error message displayed on your computer, iTunes will show you which songs and account(s) have not been authorized on your computer.
    Songs from other people's iTunes accounts are usually the culprit. These songs can be added to your iTunes library by file sharing software, or by perhaps by your friends trying to share music with you.
    If you don't recognize the iTunes account that purchased the unauthorized songs, you should probably get rid of them or investigate other (probalby not very legal) methods for working around the problem.

  • HT1349 Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.

    Hi all,I have just purchased new iphone but have difficulty in completing the itunes download with message : problem with Windows installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected.
    Would appreciate help...its driving me up the wall!!

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?
