HT4623 I am trying to update my software to ios 7 but it says "Unable to update, not enough available storage".

I am trying to update my iphone 4s and it says I don't have enough storage, so I bought more from icloud and I still don't have the option to update, any suggestions?

I had the same problem with my iPhone 4, so I deleted virtually all my photos (which are in the cloud anyway).
Is that because, once installed, the OS doesn't need as much memory?
Yes. iOS and apps download to the phone as compressed files. Then they need to be uncompressed, which means they will take up more space. Then they need to be installed, which takes even more space. After the upgrade completes the compressed download and the working files are deleted. So the phone needs almost 3 times the space occupied by the final app or iOS version during installation.

I'm trying to update my iPad but it says I don't have enough available storage. But I have more than enough can anyone tell me what the problem is?

Well, we can't as we don't know what you consider as "more than enough". The built is quite heavy (like it can be 800mb) then it needs to be extracted to be installed before everything unneeded gets deleted...

iPod touch 4 gives message "Cannot Download" "there is not enough available storage to download...You can manage your storage in settings." when trying to update or install one of the apps, but not other apps. I have more space available than needed for the app. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Do I need to completely reset this device as new and, if so, how should I do that?

You need to delete some item (apps, music, photos etc) from the iPod,.However, sometime files get corrupt. To determine that connect the iPod to your computer and click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes. How much storage is used by the "other" category. If over 1 1/2 GB that indicates corrupted files.
To get the "other" down to normal value you need to restore your iPod usually restoring from backup works but sometimes restoring to factory settings.new iPod is required./

If the device is jail broken - and the message is that the iPad is not eligible for the requested build - there are tons of articles on the internet that discuss how to fix the iPad. Use Google.

Well, if you don't have enough space, then there's nothing wrong, right?
You can check available space under Settings> General> About or by plugging it into iTunes and looking at the color-coded bar.

I have tried to update my Facebook app and it says there's not enough available storage to download it - what can I do?

I have tried to update my Facebook app and it says there's not enough available storage to download it - I have deleted lots of apps to try and make more space but still not enough what can I do?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

By removing content from the iPad. Transfer content into iTunes, sync the iPad and backup - and then unsync the content from the iPad. That way the content is stored in iTunes, and backed up so you can resync it at a later time if you want to.

I'm trying to download FIFA 13 update from App Store. I have over 3G of local storage, the update is around 1Gb but it says I don't have enough local storage to download. What's the problem??

I'm trying to download an update for FIFA 13 for my iPhone. My storage says I have around 3.2Gb of local storage space available. The update is 1Gb but when I try to download it, it says I don't have enough space. Why is this happening?

Becasue you do not have enough space available.
It can take much more space that the size of the app to install.
Update on your compter, then sync, if you do not want to create more space

I purchased an i-pad 2 and have about 330 apps. I bought the cheaper (16GB). I now cannot download or update apps "There is not enough available storage" I purchased more storage in settings, but still cannot update or download.

I purchased an i-pad 2 (16GB) and have about 330 apps. I cannot download or even update my apps (get the message there is not enough storage available to download). I purchased more storage through settings, but still nothing. Help?

You cannot purchase more storage on the iPad, you purchased more storage on iCloud.
How much space is left on your iPad?

I am trying to set up and sync with icloud but it says my email has not been verified. How do i do this? When i click the email verification nothing comes to my email allowing me to verify.

how can i get confirmed to sync with icloud?

You might try contacting iTunes store support. Even though this is an ID that you want to use for iCloud, it's still an Apple ID. iTuens store support deals with Apple ID issues all the time and they may be able to help you. Just explain that you are trying to verify your primary email address for your Apple ID but are not receiving the verification email from Apple, despite multiple attempts to resend it. You can reach them here: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
You might also check with your email provider to be sure they aren't blocking email from [email protected] as spam at their end.

i cant update my iphone and i tried going on my pc on itunes and clicking check for update button but it says that "itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet". But i checked my internet on both my pc and iphone and tried again but it still says the same thing. plzz plzz help

Were you definitely connected to the internet at the time? If you don't have iOS 5 on your iPhone then the only way to update it would be via iTunes, once updated to the latest version of iOS you'll be able to update your iPhone without connecting to iTunes "over-the-air".
Before updating however it goes without saying to Backup your iPhone, this should happen by default upon connecting your iPhone to iTunes.

HT4623 I'm trying to update my phone to te iOS 7 and it keeps telling me I don't have enough storage room to do it I just need... The thing is I've already deleted everything from my phone so I'm not sure what's going on

I'm trying to update my phone to the ios7 and my phone keeps telling me I don't have enough available storage... The thing is I have deleted everything from my phone and I have nothing else to get rid of... So I need to know what to do

Check for 'others' in iTunes against your iPhone.
Restore from a previous backup to reclaim some of it.
Still want more, Restore in iTunes, setup as New.
