We are novice users of an Ipad. Have recently taken many video clips at a wedding. Ipad now displays message "Not enough storage this Ipad cannot be backed up because there is not enough Icloud storage available etc" Neither option "close" or "settings" will respond and the screen quickly goes blank. Any help would be welcome. Bob.

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons and await restart.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

TS3992 My iphone 4S is not getting unlocked. Msg is as follows " Not Enough Storage" 'This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available. You can manage your storage in settings.' not able to unlock my phone now.

I just switched on icloud back on my iphone. My iphone 4S is not getting unlocked now. Msg is as follows " Not Enough Storage" 'This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available. You can manage your storage in settings.' not able to unlock my phone now.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

My iPad is frozen with the message not enough storage. Options are close and settings but it will not respond to buttons and will not allow me to turn it completely off. How do I get past that message?

Delete some apps, files, photos, videos, movies, etc to free up some space.
How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

HT4859 I have the error message "Not enough storage. Cannot backup, not enough backup space in ICloud . . . ", but now the "close" and "settings" buttons don't respond and I cant get the IPad to open so I can go change settings. What do I do?

For a "hard" restart of your iPad just press the home and power button at the same time and hold it for at least 10-15 sec. until it restarts.

First, press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon appears.
The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud. Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well. Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

Try doing a hard reset, Hold the "Home & Power Buttons" down at same time, until you see the Apple Icon appear. Then let go of the buttons.

My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud storage and backup, it says that I have 5.0 GB of total storage and 5.0 GB of available storage.

My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and icloud cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud Storage & Backup in my settings, it says that I have 5.0 GB total and 5.0 GB available. The only thing I have selected, at this point, to be backed up are my contacts and the Find My iPhone app. Why does it always say I have no icloud storage available when I have ALL of the icloud storage available?!

It says that my next backup size is 7.3 GB, but I have no idea why, because the only thing selected is the Find iPhone app, which takes up 0.2 KB...How do I get rid of whatever it THINKS it's backing up?

HT204022 This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. Can you help up delete some of our pictures that are backed up so that we can continue to back up the phone?

This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage. Can you help me take the pictures off the icloud since I backed them up on my pc and would like to continue to use the storage in icloud to back up with.

you are correct. We are not understanding each other. I am attempting to provide a model for good habits for the OP. You have provided only a short term brief intervention which leaves a gaping hole for data to get lost in.
At no point did I say that merely backing up the device without saving the camera roll pictures would delete them. Please stop inferring what you think I mean, you are confusing the issue. I said that doing so was SETTING UP the OP for data loss. This behavior encourages the OP to simply shut off their backup for their pictures. At no point did you instruct the OP to delete the old pictures from the device. The set up part is this... if they simply turn off the camera roll backup, and aren't implementing some form of management for the pictures on the device, then the pictures are only being actually saved, in a "permanent" manner when the OP backs up to itunes. That's all fine and good, but this also presumes that the OP will always do so on a regular basis, will never forget to do so even when there are a ton of new, very important pics to worry about.
My suggestion allows the OP to continue to use the automatic backup feature the way it was intended...automatically...for the information that has not yet been saved to the user's computer. The whole point here is that the OP can keep their pics AND still benefit from automatic backups without disabling the cameral roll from being backed up into the icloud.
Should this poster have walked into my fruit themed store, I would recommend that the OP do the following:
1. back up the pics to the computer (done)
2. REMOVE THE BACKED UP PICS FROM THE PHONE
3. Learn about and utilize PHOTOSTREAM (including its limitations like no videos, only 1000 pics and only for 30 days) to make backing up and saving the photos from the phone easy and simple
4. Explain how backup works and what it backs up
5. Reassure the OP that even if they haven't backed up to itunes lately or have not bothered to properly save their pictures using another device and PHOTOSTREAM, that their oversight won't be catastrophic in circumstances where failure to do either of these things and being met with tragedy, does not necessarily mean that the OP is SOL. The automatic backup is another line of defense against data loss and can save the OP's precious memories, TEMPORARILY, until they can be transferred to another device for "permanent" storage. Why disable a line of defense?
I see it all the time. Full icloud, camera roll turned off, device not backed up to itunes nor pics saved for weeks because they were too busy, didn't feel like it or were just plain lazy. Then, a wedding, birth, Halloween, Naughty time with the hubby, whatever it may be its an event with a LOT of pictures taken. Then, then next day or so, before the manual saves can happen, the device is damaged and needs to be replaced. There's no backup, nothing saved and the user loses ALL of the pics from the special event. IF they had properly managed their pics and only kept stuff on there that they really needed, deleted the rest after saving their pics elsewhere, and thus kept the backup size small enough to use, the backup would happen unattended overnight, and even though catastrophe still happens, all the pics from the big event are recovered on a new device using the iCloud backup.
Do you see the difference? I hope you do, and i hope so does the OP. I have a great deal of experience here, take advantage of it or not. Accept my help or be stubborn about it, Your choice. I am finished posting into this thread now. Take care and good luck with your data.

Hi, I have an iphone4 and all of a sudden none of the apps (except the ones that came with the phone) will open. The screen goes black then it goes back to the homescreen. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have an iphone 4 and all of a sudden none of the apps will work, except the ones that came with the phone. When I open them the screen goes black then it goes back to the homescreen.
Also when I plug the phone into itunes it only gives me the option to either restore or eject the phone. Up until today I never had any problems, I sync it regularly and all the software (inc itunes) is up to date. The last time I backed it up was about a month ago when I got the phone, (a replacement as my other iphone4 had loads of problems) so I don't want to have to restore it and lose everything off it!
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.

Pages 09 poster only prints as black and white but color looks fine on the screen

The original template my poster was based upon prints in color, I can print other documents from pages in color without issue, and even if I print to pdf (which looks fine on the screen) and then open the pdf in preview and then print, it still prints black and white.
Um, and yes, it's a color printer and it's a standard 8.5x11 paper, so there's nothing too weird there. It looks totally fine literally everywhere except paper, and I have no other issues with any other documents, even really similar ones, that I have sent through the same printer.
I sent the same pdf file to a local copy shop and it printed just fine.
ACK! Please help!

I can't find anything that is print to black & white or grey scale in the document rules or anywhere else, and since the printer prints it as a pages document AND a pdf as black and white--but someone else can print the same PDF file in living color on their printer without any issues, I'm stumped.
Without changing anything, I can print any other document, jpg, web page, or anything on the same printer (including the same apple template) and the colors are fine...but then this one prints in b&w.

The screen on my ipod nano 2nd generation turns black. It still plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black screen and the screen goes back to it's normal state but after a few minutes the screen goes black again.

The screen on my ipod nano, 2nd generation, turns black. It stills plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black and the screen goes back to it's original state. But after a few minutes the screen turns black again, while the music is still playing. What can I do about this?

That's just the iPod's backlight timer going off, signaling the iPod's backlight to turn off to conserve battery power.

The orientation of the apple store on my iPad appears to look limited and like an iPhone. I deleted the apple store app and reinstalled but no luck. Also the screen doe not rotate

My apple store app will not change orientation when I rotate my iPad and appears limited . I deleted the app and reinstalled but didnot fix it

The "Apple Store App" is an iPhone app and while it works on the iPad, you cannot change the orientation of the app. You can enlarge it by tapping on the 2X in the bottom corner, but you cannot rotate the app on the screen.
