Does buying additional icloud storage allow me to download more music on my iPhone? I purchased additional storage, but I can't sync due to being over capcity (16 gb).

No, purchasing iCloud storage can't increase the capacity of your phone.

HT4847 iPhone/Mac OS X iCloud storage question

I deleted a bunch of photos & videos from my iPhone b/c I was told I was running out of space for iCloud and it looks like it didn't register. Any thoughts?

Are you still receiving messages telling you that you are short of space, or are you just relying on the data from the icloud settings. The icloud settings have been known to not show the free space correctly after data has been deleted.

I have iphone 32gb how much icloud storage y need

I have iphone 32gb how much icloud storage i need?

Music on your phone is either purchased from iTunes or synced from a computer. If from iTunes, it doesn't use your iCloud allocation and can be redownloaded from the store if necessary, if from your computer then it is already elsewhere.
I'm not suggesting your use will be identical to mine but I have the 32 GB phone I use less than 1 GB for syncing documents and data, however I back up to iTunes rather than iCloud, but if I did back up to iCloud, I'd need about 4 GB.

HT4847 how do I purchase iCloud storage for family plan membe?

My wife had her own iCloud storage upgrade but the card on her storage expired. Prior to the expiration I added her to iCloud family as a parent/guardian. Now, her storage upgrade has expired and she can't change it because she's on the family plan. She spoke to iCloud support and they said basically I have to buy it for her. How do I do that? Why must this be so hard? I've searched for solutions but can't seem to find Apple-authored solutuons that deal with this specific situation and don't see anywhere on my iphone where I can buy or share storage for her.

I should add...her iphone, when trying to change her icloud storage, still shows that her card has expired and only allows me to re-enter the CVV code. There doesn't seem to be any other option.

I got rid of AMDS, ASU ,QuickTime and iTunes from control ones I also found folder in Vista with D:\Users\Rick\Music\iTunes\Previous iTunes Library and there is one dated 2009-03012.itl. I moved this file up one folder and delted existing iTunes Library.itl. iTune still failed to identify my iPhone. There are other files iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Geniyes,itdn and iTunes Music Library,xml date dtd 06/18/2009 after upgrade except the latter which is date 06/23/2009. So something is not allowing me to pull or put everything back to when it worked.
YES this is my only iPhone and only PC I have access to with iTunes.
Here is what Apple gave to someone Sunday 28 June:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2035950&start=75&tstart=0
I checked these out too and they appear the same printed out nearly a week prior. I agree with Coach TO, if I had bad drivers or Vista errors it would not have shown up only when I updated to latest Version of 8.2.023. My Phone was identified on a PC with iTunes at the local AT&T store. He suggested I get phone into Recovery made while connected to iTunes and that resolves the problem 9 out of 10 time. Weak spot was he tried to get phone into Recovery without iTunes connection and thought I may have iPhone problem, then changed his mind when it worked while connected. He also stated it could take an hour. I have not tried to put my iPhone in Recovery lately, I think I did a while back and it failed to go into Recovery as error "iPhone detected by, not identified..."Has anyone tried forcing phone into Recovery? I understand you may lose all that is on phone. If iTunes still fails to identify would we not be in worse shape even if iTunes holds a recent backup which it does not for many of us? Will Apple take back or exchange phone if yours is not identitifed, AT&T today told me I had to go to Apple Store for this or anything to happen.

HT4847 I have bought extra iCloud storage, I have 23GB storage left but when I try to update FIFA 13 it says there isn't enough local storage!!! How do I use the iCloud storage?!?! Thank u

I Have bought extra iCloud storage, I have 23GB of storage left but when I try to update fifa13 it says there's isn't enough local storage?!?!

Thay's correct. Buying iCloud storage does not increase the local storage capacity of your iPad.
Your iPad will always have the 16, 32 or 64GB of storage you bought it with.
iCloud storage is space on Apple's iCloud servers - not on your device.
You'll need to clear some space on your iPad to make room for apps.

HT4847 How to open my icloud storage

I wanted to store more apps but it says i have to manage my account. I bought icloud storage for 20 but it remains not used because it does not open when i want some apps to be there.

Just open to "Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage" and choose and delete what you do not need anymore (e.g. old backups or app data of which do not need and use anymore).

HT4847 How to make enough iCloud storage

How to make enough iCloud storage? What would I need to delete?

Iphone capacity question

When you have your iphone linked to your computer and you can see the summary tab of the Iphone within Itunes, it indicates the capacity at the bottom. There is ORANGE designated as other........what is encompassed in other on the Iphone????

Yah, I just noticed that my 'other' capacity went from 194 MB to 342MB after my latest sync. What the **** could be in there to take up so much space? That's nearly 1/25th of my entire capacity!
I cleared my safari cache and history, cleared all my email accounts of emails (on the iphone)... and after I did that, that's when the 'other' increased in size! Crazy.
Now I've rebooted the phone. I'm considering just resetting the phone and starting over.

Billing question for iCloud storage

Hi Folks,
I recently upgraded my storage from the free 5GB with an additional 10GB--I paid $20 for a year of this. I needed even more storage than this, so I upgraded to the 20GB per year. Instead of charging me an additional $20, for the additional 10GB, it charged me $40 for the additional 10 GB. I have tried to find out who to call to correct this--I am assuming it is an error, if not it is consumer fraud--and have had no luck. Does anyone have any ideas on who to contact and how to contact them? I have called several support numbers and have gotten nowhere.
Many thanks for any help anyone may have to offer.
All the best,
Don56

Hello Tesskwon,

Thank You!

My iPhone is out of iCloud storage and so the window doesn't go away. I can't press cancel or go to settings! HELP.

Please help me ASAP.

Try resetting your iPhone :
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

ICloud storage full on iphone, but deleted almost everything and grows larger! iPad is fine with same iCloud acct. can I delete iPhone backup then turn it back on without loosing iCloud data?

Icloud storage full. Can I delete my iPhone icloud backup with keeping my iCloud data unharmed (since my iPad has iCloud storage turned on, and I wouldn't be turning iCloud off on my iPad). BTW, I use iTunes for music and photo albums; iCloud for contacts, notes, etc. Then turn iCloud back up back on on iphone to see if I had a problem file and the storage changes?
ICloud storage full. I deleted messages, moved the camera roll to my PC, deleted Safari bookmarks, turned off almost every app in Managing iCloud storage. I turned off the backup, restarted iCloud backup and did a manual backup yet my storage gets larger yet.
Makes no sense. I have a iPhone and iPad. It's the iPhone showing this large iCloud storage 3.6 GB (when the iPad has more apps and only 716MB).

ANSWER to my Question above: YES.
I took a chance, as I could find NO information regarding my question, and DELETED MY ICLOUD BACKUP (not my ICLOUD account). I then turned ON my ICLOUD BACKUP and whew! It plummeted from 4.8 GB full out of 5 GB TO: 1.2 GB full out of 5 GB.
I even turned on more settings to back up and it still shows 1.2 GB full in ICLOUD, 3.8 available. No more emails to say I am running out of ICLOUD space.
[For what its worth if others are getting messages their ICLOUD is almost full, and you don't have all that much on ICLOUD. Then when you even delete apps, messages, camera roll, turn off almost ALL icloud back ups and features the ICLOUD backup grows even larger. My ICLOUD kept increasing in size while I was decreasing my ICLOUD storage in Managing storage.]
(All my ICLOUD contacts, notes, Safari bookmarks, were returned in place.)

HT4847 Why is there only 5GB of Free iCloud Storage for the iOS Devices? Shouldn't the iDevices that have larger storage capacities than other iDevices, have more than 5GB of Free iCloud Storage offered?

I have a 32GB, 4th Generation iPod Touch, with only 5GB of free iCloud Storage offered. Why should I pay more for iPod Storage, when I receive the same amount of iCloud Storage as the iDevices with less iPod Storage? I understand the Marketing/Business point of view. However, it should appear that it is only logical to increase the offered capacity of free iCloud Storage to those of whom that have purchased an Apple Device with larger storage capacities.

It boils down to that is what Apple does. Just like you don't get a big computer discount if you use your computer more than I do. I don't get a better job because I'm smarter than you are. It's the way things are. You have no more entitlement to something than I do.
As for "business?" Of course it's business. Everything is business. To think this is special just to Apple is to ignore reality.
With iCloud storage we start on a level field - 5 GBs free. Thereafter, it's pay as you go.

I have my current iPhone backed up onto iCloud but it also has my old iPhone on there as well. My new phone has all the data from my old iPhone on, so can I delete the old iPhone from the iCloud as its taking up memory? Thank you

Sorry I wrote the question in the title!!
I have my iPhone 4 and my new iPhone 5 on my iCloud storage. It's now nearly full as it still has my old phone on it.
If I delete the phone from iCloud memory it won't delete the data from me new phone that was originally backed up from the old phone
Via the cloud?
Thank you very much!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. If you don't need your old phone's backup, you can remove it. Open Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, select the old device backup and delete it.
The new iPhone backup won't be deleted and you will keep everything on the new phone
