HT4623 need more storage for update

Best things to delete for more storage for update?

Any movies or TV shows transferred from your iTunes library take up quite a bit of storage space and can be re-transferred after the update has been installed. If your iPhone's Camera Roll includes a lot of photos/videos, import those with your computer followed by deleting from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. The imported photos/videos can be transferred back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process after the update has been installed.
Delete apps rarely if ever used which can be reinstalled after the update has been installed.

    If your iCloud account uses your family's Apple ID, you will pay $20/year for all your family members. If your iCloud account uses a different Apple ID than your family's Apple ID, you will pay only for you

  • Need more storage for music/photo/dv film

    I own a MacBookPro, AirPort Time Capsule and PC/laptops with windows xp and 7/8. We all share a printer using the TimeCapsule. But; I need ekstra storage for my pictures and our music. (all stored in my Mac) I would love to move our CD collection and DVD colletion too - but that is not the main issue. I need space to save all my pictures and video/films. I have read you could use parts of the TimeCapsule as an external harddisk but it is not recommended. I do use backup elsewhere as well - JottaCloud - but would like to keep it stored inhouse - for easy access when I have the time to edit pictures and make imovies ie. But what kind of external harddisk should I get??  Please advice.

    Travis,
    Two things. Apple lossless files are huge in comparison to compressed files such as mp3 or aac. You should convert those lossless files to either mp3 or aac at a bit rate of (say) 160kbps. This will reduce the amount of space used on your computer. Once you've done this, delete the lossless files.
    VBR mp3 isn't a hard drive, it's a compression format, and VBR means variable bit rate.

  • HT201364 Need more space for update....

    How do you make more space on the startup disk?

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Get an external hard drive on which to store some of your files after which you can
          erase the data from your internal drive to free up space.
      5. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      6. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      7. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

  • Purchase more storage for update

    I purchased additional storage so I could update my Iphone 4s to the new 8.
    My phone is showing I have additional storage but under usage it is still showing
    my original 5 with only 1.6 available.  So I"m still not able to update.
    Can someone tell me why?

    The only way to free up space is to delete some of the data on the phone. The biggest space hog is likely to be movies, followed closely by music files.
    This page suggests that upgrading a 4s to iOS8 may not be such a good idea, depending on how you feel about the limitations:

  • HT4623 I've purchased more storage for my mini iPad however I still can not download iOS 7?

    I've purchased more storage for my mini iPad however I still can not download iOS 7?

    If you mean you purchased more iCloud storage, that doesn't expand the amount of storage on your iPhone. iCloud storage only gives you more room for backups, documents, photo sharing, etc. You will still need to remove things from your iPad to give you enough room for the update. You'll need less room if you update via iTunes on your computer than if you update directly on the iPad.
    BTW, you posted in the iPod touch forum. For many issues the answers will be the same, but it's usually best to post in the correct forum for your product so that there is no misunderstanding.

  • My phone told me it needed more storage - especially to update my iPhone iOS.  I decided to as more per month. It's still telling me it's almost full and I can't update. What am I doing wrong?

    My phone is telling me it's almost full. Also I have and update to the phone that says I don't have enough storage. I updated this month to a lot more. It's still telling me I need more storage. I don't understand.

    Ok and thank you. I did delete a LOT of photos and moved all my music just into my icloud and got rid of apps - really cut it down. i tried deleting music from my library and it won't let me and I have this update thing and I'm not sure what to do.

    Hi
    Thanks for that. Yes, the ipad was purchased recently. I called Apple last Friday and they ask for the receipt. I wonder if anyone were able to swap their ipad for a larger storage in the past at the apple store without a receipt? 16Gb is such a small storage.

  • HT4910 I can not back up my iPhone.  it says I need more storage space.  I purchased more space and icloud says it is there, but the phone is not recognizing this and continues to say that I need to purchase more space in order to back it up.  Any ideas?

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • HT4859 Purchased more storage for ipod touch but not working

    I have purchased a tv episode and my ipod touch is saying not enough storage.  So I purchased more storage for $20, but apparently this is for cloud storage and not for other purchases?  How can I get my $20 storage purchase over to my ipod touch so I can buy more videos, etc. 
    Thank you!

    You need to contact Apple within 15 days of the purchase to get a refund for iCloud. Plusco lays out the details on this other thread.

  • In order to install IOS7 on my 4S, I need more storage of  3.1GB and presently have only 1.3 GB. My biggest usage is the camera roll at 9.8GB.  Photo stream is at 584 MB. My question is -should I delete the camera roll pics? They are saved on my computer.

    In order to install IOS7 on my 4S, I need more storage of  3.1GB and presently have only 1.3 GB. My biggest usage is the camera roll at 9.8GB.  Photo stream is at 584 MB. My question is -should I delete the camera roll pics? They are saved on my computer.

    At 1.3GB available, your storage space is getting very thin no matter what you do further.  As long as you have the photo's in the camera roll saved on your computer you can delete them.  Just make sure first that they are in your photo software.  If updating in iTunes, just backup/sync first, then update, and that will save the camera roll in the backup as well.
    At only 1.3GB you eventually are going to find yourself unable to install or update some app, or unable to take any new pictures, or some other limitation that will force you to free up space anyway.  So now, before updating, sounds like a good time to make sure everything is backed up or stored somewhere else, and clean house a bit, then update.

  • Need extra storage for photos for my ipad ...

    I need extra storage for my ipad to store photos on ... I have so far been looking at the Airport Time Capsule &amp; Seagate Wireless Plus.
    Can anyone recommend any? Thanks

    If you need to offload photos as you have too many, the best way is to plug the iPad into you computer running Mac OSX and dump them into iphoto.
    If you want to use something by wireless, without a computer then any network connected hard disk will work much the same. You cannot use file storage directly anyway.. you need to load a file app to start with.
    I think use whichever works out the cheaper for you.
    Do note the TC is really not designed to do this job and if you already use the TC for Time Machine it is messy loading files onto it. This is apparently a new purchase so you are not using the TC at all..
    The TC lacks a method to back itself up.. And this is one of its great weaknesses.. if the TC fails.. and they all fail at some point. How are you going to recover those photos?? From iPad you will not have the tools needed to do backups of the TC to another location.
    I have no idea if the seagate has built in proper backup but I would find out.
