HT4847 How to free up more cloud storage space on my iPad.

To free up more storage space on my cloud I deleted loads of pictures, movies, apps, etc.  I can't figure out how to get the cloud to open up the space I think I created.  What am I missing.  I drove an hour to the closest Apple store for answers, thought I had it when I left, now nothing seems to have made a difference.  I must be missing something critical.  Help...

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities Forum.  Normally what I see in regard to backup issues with iCloud storage space has to do with photos and videos taken with the iOS device.  I would recommend importing this media to your computer and deleting it off the device.  You can resync this media once you have it safely stored on your computer.  I have provided a couple articles that will help you with this issue.  This first article I am including goes over what data is backed up.  The second article will show you how to import your pictures to your computer for safe keeping.  The last article, is just some basic information on how to manage your iCloud storage.

    You don't. Delete 'stuff' you don't need or buy a phone with more storage. you can not increase or upgrade the internal storage in the iPhone.

  • How can I free up more storage space on my IPad?

    How can I free up storage space on my IPad?  I have deleted all books, music, magazines, email, messages, most games, and I still have only 1.1 GB available.  There are files in Diagnostics and Usage that I can't figure out how to delete.  Can it be that and something else?  Any suggestions are welcomed.  Synced just yesterday and that didn't help.  Thanks!

    In iTunes, you can click on the iPad Device and check what type of files are using storage on your iPad. On the Summary tab, at the bottom of the page, there is a chart showing what type of files are on your device. They are separated into groups by color.
    Once you have identified the color that's taking most of your storage you might be able to determine which files need to be removed.
    Also, are you using DropBox with a lot of favorites selected or a few larger files? Dropbox favorite files are kept on your device, even when it isn't connected to the internet. This could also be true with other file sharing services like Sugarsync.

  • How can I free up storage space on my iPad?

    When I try to download a video from my icloud my iPad tells me it doesn't have enough storage space. How can I free up more storage space on my iPad?

    That's an issue of not having enough available space on the iPad itself, not in your iCloud account.  (You can check the available space on your iPad by going to Settings>General>Usage and checking the Available number under "Storage" at the top.)
    To free up space on your iPad, you'll have to delete something or sync it off with iTunes (such as some of your music or other iTunes media).

  • TS4009 I bought more cloud storage but when I tried to download a TV program, it said there was no room.  What to do?

    I bought more cloud storage as the ipad was full.  But when I tried to download a TV episode, I got a message that my Ipad was full, even though the icloud is showing plenty of space.  What to do?

    Available Space on your Device is different to iCloud Space.
    More than likely you need to make more Space available on your Device.
    You will need to Delete some things from it to enable the Download.

  • Why do we not receive 5 gb of free cloud storage space for the multiple Apple devices my wife and I have purchased?

    Why do we not receive 5 gb of free cloud storage space for the multiple Apple devices my wife and I have purchased?  Seems only fair.

    logical. fair. I can understand the confusion in policy  as another fine cloud service - DropBox - has a different model for increases in free storage amounts for one account = evangelism. As many policies as there are services probably.

  • Need more cloud storage

    Adobe gave me 50Gb more cloud storage 8-5-14 and now today I'm back down to 20Gb. I called and chatted all day and no one knows anything about it because adobe doesn't sell additional storage. Dropbox  is expensive for graphic artists who need tons of storage. Ideas?
    Anything to not have to deal with Adobe again. Sheesh! Waste of an important day.

    Niel, FYI. I have discovered that you can delete music from your library, and if you have a iCloud account, it is backed up on the Cloud, and thus decreases the amount of space used. I began to delete albums, and after hitting the "delete" red button, the song remained and an "iCloud" icon was place in the row. I can still play the song, but the space is not used on my pad. Does this sound familiar, or would you confirm?

  • How can you purchase additional cloud storage without using account credit?

    How can you purchase additional cloud storage without using account credit? Want credit to remain on accounts as it was a gift for my daughter and we haven't finished using it yet but need to purchase additional storage for all of our accounts. Can't I just override the automatic payment from the account and just pay with a separate cc?

    Purchasing additional storage will not use account credit anyway.  It gets directly charged to your credit card, and you must use a credit card since it is an annual subscription service you are purchasing, not a one time payment option.  They insist on a credit card so they have a billable account for the automatic annual subscription fee.  At least it was that way when I did it.
    Sorry - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4874  either I did not have enough credit at the time or something has changed since I did it?  Maybe call Apple and do it over the phone (explain why you want to do it that way)?

  • How can I get extra [SATA] storage space, the cheapest way?

    Hello everybody,
    I've an Asus M2N68-AM Plus Motherboard in a HTPC with all SATA connectors occupied. What can you guys come up with as the cheapest way to add more extra storage space [via SATA]?
    1. Change Mobo?
    2. Switch HD's?
    3. Any controller board?
    4. Other?
    Note: The main idea is to maintain the existing HD's, cause I don't want to keep them unused or to loose money by selling.
    Regards.

    Does that mobo have an eSata connector on the back panel?
    If yes, buy a regular Sata drive and an enclosure (with a fan!) that has eSata as well as, or instead of USB... and just connect it that way
    Or buy a ready made eSata drive/enclosure

  • HT1689 how to download apps more than 50 MB on my iPad

    how to download apps more than 50 MB on my ipad using cellular network.

    You can't, the 50 meg limit can't be overridden (only Apple, with the agreement of the carriers, can change it) - you will either need to connect to a wifi network and download it over wifi, or download it on your computer's iTunes and sync it to the iPad

  • HT204053 I just purchased more storage space(10gb) for   iPAD, but when I attempted to download an app An error message appeared prompting me to buy more storage. according to my ICloud  I have 15gb available. Does anyone have any suggestions

    I purchased more storage space(10gb)for my IPAD,but when I attempted to download an app an error message prompted me to purchase more storage.According to my ICloud I have 15gbavailable Any suggestions Help!!!

    If you are trying to download an app and get an error about not enough memory, it's talking about memory on your iPad, not in iCloud.  I don't know what you mean by purchasing more storage space for your iPad, you can't add more memory to a device.  You may have bought more memory in iCloud, but that's not going to fix your current problem.  You need to delete songs or video, or some other large files from your iPad to make room for a new download.

  • How do i get rid of "other" space on my ipad?

    hi there...just wondering how I get rid of the "other" space on my ipad....when in itunes to sync.....says there is 6.7GB of "other"....

    Just remember that you cannot totally get rid of "other" nor do you want to do so because it contains notes, Safari history and bookmarks, contacts, email messages, text messages, and that type of data. As sberman states, it should be nowhere near that large, but you can't and don't want to get rid of all of it.
    There are a bunch of other things that you can try before doing a full restore, but again, as stated above, sometimes the only thing that will work is to restore as new.
    Take a look at some of these suggestions here.

    When i try to buy more i cloud Storage,  i get this Message in German, Ein unbekannter Fehler ist aufgetreten. Can somebody Out there help me Out?.

    Did you try to buy more space using your computer?

    Is your credit card payment info correct?

  • How do I free up more hard disk space?

    I only have 4 gigabytes of free space left and I would like to upgrade to snow leopard. I have leopard now. If I try reinstalling the OS without doing the "erase and install" would that give me more free space? All our music and pictures are on an external hard drive so that is not filling up my drive.

    ""erase and install" deletes all setting's that take forever to replace."
    Not if you do an Archive & Install and select "preserve user preferences and data" when you performed the A&I.
    *A few suggestions to clean up your HD:*
    Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
    An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
    In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
    Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
    Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.).
    I'm old fashion. I still keep my photos in a photo album. So when people come over my house, they can actually "touch" & "feel" my photos without me running to my computer to "show my photos".
    Get rid of all your music files you no longer listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CDs and/or DVDs or you can later redownload from a website.
    Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight!
    Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app demo called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
    Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
    Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs.
    Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or a .Mac account to store their "stuff, junk, music & photos".
    You can check with your ISP to see if they offer free storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days. I store all 5000+ of my music (mp3s) files & 500+ music videos in my ISP storage bin.
    There are thousands if not millions of free storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine, Google &/or MacGoogle to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
    Check for duplicate fonts.
    Applications>Font Book
    Select “All Fonts”
    If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
    To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + click to select multiple dotted fonts;
    Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
    What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
    More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
    Clear out font caches
    Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s FREE.
    Printer Drivers
    Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your current printer(s)/scanner(s).
    HD>Library>Printers Folder
    If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
    Garage Band
    Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
    HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
    Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
    Get rid of extra languages
    Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
    You can do this with a FREE utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
    However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).
