I just purchased more storage for my phone because I needed a software update and it said I couldn't do it until I purchased more cloud storage, so I did. Now nothing is showing up and still cannot update my software? Does it take time to show up?
Sometimes it does. However, adding more iCloud storage doesn't give you any more space on your phone if that's what you're trying to do. To create more space on your phone, you have to delete of sync something off of it. You could, for example, you could delete all your music, then perform the update, then sync your music back to your phone using iTunes.

If I purchase more icloud storage on my phone does it also support my iPad?
If I purchase extra icloud storage does that support my phone and iPad?
Hi Lmfloe,
If those devices are signed onto the same iCloud account, yes. The additional storage applies to the account - not a specific device.

I need advice on getting more storage for my iPhone 6. I have just bought more iCloud storage, but it didn't help. I only have about 100 picture and 6 apps. I also recently purchased music and it won't let me download it to my phone because there is no storage. Any suggestions on getting more storage for my iPhone?
iCloud storage has nothing to do with the memory available on your iPhone.
Have you tried a reset?
Also, see this article:

I purchased extra Icloud storage because I couldn't take any more pictures on my phone, or download any more apps. The extra storage purchase did not change a thing. I still can't take pictures or download apps. Help!!
Icloud storage has nothing at all to do with the storage on your iphone.
Icoud storage is on a server somwewhere, not on your iphone.

If i purchase more iCloud storage, will it allow me to take more photos to keep in my photo library? Or does iCloud storage just count towards photostream?
Sorry, thats wrong. I just installed iOS 8.1 and got an error saying that it requires 5,6 GB of free space, but I have only 2,6 Gb free space in my iCloud Account.
You will need to pay in order to use iCloud Photo Library in order to use it for a huge collection of photos. 5GB is not very much.
Edit: I though you were talking about iCloud photo library.. I got that wrong. -
HT204053 can i purchase more iCloud storage with my iTunes gift card
Can I purchase more iCloud storage with my iTunes gift card
Provide the iTunes Store with a credit card number(iCloud storage upgrades are a subscription and not a one-time purchase), redeem the gift card if you haven't already done so, and get the upgrade. The credit card won't be charged if the unspent balance is large enough to pay for it.

i just bought more icloud storage, why does it not let me backup my iPhone 5..says i need 1.4 GB of space?..I just bought 10 more in icloud.
I think you are confused. Syncing apps and music to your phone will not get store in the cloud by adding more cloud storage. If you don't have enough space to sync the music and apps, buying cloud storage won't help. If you have a 16GB phone, the phone still only has 16GB for apps and music even if you buy 10 mor GB of cloud storage.

My phone ran out of iCloud storage. After a week I did an iTunes backup then bought more iCloud storage and now it won't back up with the iCloud.
Do you have sufficient storage now? And did you turn on iCloud backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup?

Can I use a iTunes gift card to purchase more icloud storage
Can I use a iTunes gift card to purchase more icloud storage
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately not. -
I received a message stating Not Enough Storage. This iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. The touch screen will not let me select settings to correct this. I did purchase more storage via my iPhone, but I still cannot get my iPad working.
Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

I just bought more icloud storage. When does it show up and why didn't I get a receipt?
I was informed that I needed more storage for my ipad mini. I got rid of extraneous things but decided to purchase some more storage anyway. I went through all the forms and answered the final "are you sure you want to purchase this" question and I have recieved nothing! No reciept, no storage...when does it show up? I am concerned because i put in all my credit card info.
You've checked all your iPad's homescreens for it, and tried searching for it via the iPad's spotlight search screen ? Does the app have 'open' against it in the Purchased tab in the App Store app ? Have you tried a soft-reset of your iPad to see if you can find the app, or download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, after the iPad has restarted ?
To do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot. -
