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.

  • ICloud Storage question:  why do I have 25GB

    Everything I read says you get 5GB of storage free and pay for extra
    When I go to Settings/icloud/storage & backup, my total storage is shown as 25GB
    Any idea why that would be?
    A couple of possibilities I have thought of is that I had mobileme family pack and although I did not purchase extra space, maybe that's why they gave me more?
    or
    I have now updated a total of 5 devices:  1 iphone; 1 ipad; 1 macbook air; 1 mac mini; and 1 mac mini server
    Is it possible that we get a allocation of 5 GB per device??
    Not a big deal, I guess but, I'd like to know if I have it permanently or might have some of it taken away down the road
    thanks

    I think you'll find it a very sneaky marketing ploy. Everybody gets 5GB for free as advertised, but they've allocated you 25GB to start with. You then start using the facility. Then once you've got it firmly embedded in your work practices with all your documents uploaded they'll tell you that you need to pay for the extra storage you're using (at £28 per year) or lose it. Hope I'm wrong, but I think that's Apple's new way of screwing customers........

  • 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.

  • HT4847 i have 5gb of icloud storage, used 2.5gb but it wont let me unlock the other 2.5gb of storage. How can i use the remainig 2.5gb of storage?

    i have 5gb of icloud storage, used 2.5gb but it wont let me unlock the other 2.5gb of storage. How can i use the remainig 2.5gb of storage?

    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 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 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.

  • ICloud storage question.

    is there a way to know exactly what is being storaged on an icloud account? I have the free 5GB version, and i use it for all of my apple devices, am down to 4GB, and i want to keep the free account for aslong as  possible, so i would like to know how to delete stuff from icloud and to tell it just to store thinks that i really want to keep, like photos and music. Also correct me if am wrong, my undestanding is that whatever is on icloud stream, like photos, notes or reading list, do not use icloud storage, right? thanks.

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage
    From there you can find how much and which files are in a backup, and how much different apps use to store data files.  At the bottom of the screen is the size of the mail storage.
    BTW, icloud is not the thing to use to store photos, and it doesn't include music (you can get a subscription to itunes match for that).  Photos in the camera roll can be included in a backup, but icloud doesn't provide storage for photos otherwise.  For photos, always sync them to a computer for archiving.
    Photos in photo stream do not count toward your storage limits.

  • Considering upgrading iCloud storage, questions

    Hi, I currently have an iPad 2 3G and an iPhone 4 32GB.  I've updated the firmware on the iPad 2 to 5.0 and therefore have iCloud.  It's setup and working fine, but due to the meager 5GB storage, not enough to backup the iPad.  I'm thinking of upgrading the storage to 15GB and paying the $20; I'm reluctant to pay any more than that until I see how it works.
    Here's the thing: I'm considering updating the iPhone 4 to 5.0 as well and therefore would also have that device on iCloud.  So the combined backups from both devices is what's got me in a bit of a bind, because I don't know how much space the iPhone 4 would use for its backup.
    So I wanted to get some feedback from people who already have iCloud in use for both devices so I can get an idea as to how I might proceed.
    Any information or feedback is appreciated, thanks!

    Hi,
    I have had no issues re iCloud backups so far, but re buying more space I will do this if and when the necessity arises. More for data and document storage as the required fees are cheep.
    At the end of the day it is your decision.

  • Macbook Pro and iCloud storage questions/help

    Hi all, Im needing help here as my Macbook Pro has become extremely slow and sluggish, is this because there is too much stored on it? Having iCloud should help take extra room up on the Macbook should it not?
    Just general help and advice regarding these matters would be appreciated.

    iCloud is a syncing facility, not a separate storage one, and any data on iCloud is duplicated on your Mac. You would do better to buy an external hard disk and use it to store bulky data such as media files.

  • 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).

  • HT4847 iPhone Capacity Question concerning iCloud Storage

    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).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Does buying additional icloud storage allow me to download more music on my iPhone?
    No, purchasing iCloud storage can't increase the capacity of your phone.

  • 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.)
