HT4863 iCloud Mail is showing incorrect storage capacity

My Mailbox is currently showing 3.1 GB capacity, and is causing huge trouble in my iCloud backup and operations in several of my iDevices including my mac.
When I open my iCloud account, I've ensured I deleted majority all of my previous email and is left with less than 1 MB worth of emails. I've also emptied my trash bin and cleared both Junk Folder and Sent Items.
Even after all the clean-up the email capacity never moved and remained the same?
Is there a bug?
Can I just delete this email account in iCloud and re-create it to avoid this HUGE 3.1 GB it is misreporting?

You only have 56.6 GB available to you. The difference between that and the 64 GB advertised capacity is taken up by:
The operating system since you can't use that for storage
and how GB is advertised and used/reported by the operating system. See:
How OS X and iOS report storage capacity - Apple Support
The update did not change anything except likely reducing the capacity by 10 or so MB since update typically add things and thus takes more storage for the operating system

30gb video ipod showing incorrect storage capacity

Hi,
I have a 30gb ipod. When I connect the ipod & open itunes or ipod updater, the ipod appears with an incorrect storage capacity.
The updater shows all other information correctly, except for Capacity, which shows at 65.0GB
With nothing on the ipod, Itunes shows used: 4.49GB, free: 58.99GB. If I try to transfer any files I get a message saying that there is not enough free space to transfer the files.
I have restored to factory settings, re-installing all software, changing usb ports etc but nothing seems to have helped...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Matt.

Ipod Touch showing incorrect storage capacity

I have an Ipod Touch 64 GB 5th Gen running iOS 8.2. I'm not certain when this issue occurred initially from the devices perspective - only when I first noticed it. The device was running 8.1.1.3 at the time. I was working with it in Itunes and clicked on the iPods summary screen to check for the iOS 8.2 update. I noticed the capacity of the device was showing as 56.62 GB. Available space was 43.19. The little memory symbol for the Ipod shows 64 GB. I was troubled by the capacity message.

No help there. I ran the Update to iOS 8.2. Succesful. Still same capacity. Checked the iPod's Gerneral/About screen - Capacity listed 56.6 GB.
Have I lost access to 8 GB of capacity here? Should I reset the thing?

Total of Audio, Video and App Data is 14.12 GB. Available shows 43.19 GB. That adds up to 57.31.GB. So there is a 700 K discrepancy. Total Photo Data happens to be 700 K. Just saying.

You only have 56.6 GB available to you. The difference between that and the 64 GB advertised capacity is taken up by:

Macbook pro shows incorrect storage information on SSD.

I am using a macbook pro. The storage information is shown wrongly. Control I shows the correct information but finder and space bar on the hard disk show incorrect storage information. Used space is actually 122 GB which is shown as 140 GB. Even omnidiskkeeper shows the breakup of 122 GB but the storage information summary shows 140GB.

   Re-index Macintosh HD.
   Spotlight reindexing will take a while to finish.

Why has iCloud mail stopped showing messages in the "Sent" folder?

Recently I've noticed that any emails I send from iCloud email does not show in the "Sent" mail folder. This, in and of itself is not really a big deal, but I'm curious to know if everything i've sent is being stored somewhere and is accumulting taking up storage space. I try to delete almost everything out of iCloud since I only have the basic storage account. Anyone else experiencing this with iCloud Mail.
Thanks,
Dave

Sounds like a limit of your ISP, as it's trying to put it back on the mailserver, which may not accept such a large file.

ICloud mail not showing up as "box" on iPhone mail list

I have a me.com address. I have added it as an account on my iPhone. I can log in successfully on my desktop to iCloud to retrieve my mail. I CANNOT however, see a mailbox labeled iCloud in my iOS mail on my iPhone. Can anyone help me figure this out? I've restarted the phone over and over. I shut off Mail and turned it back on several times as well. Please help.
Thanks!

Hi Winston,
Let me clarify...sorry about that. When I go to Settings --> iCloud --> Under my Account name [email protected] there is a list of "Mail, contacts, Calendars, etc" with on/off toggles, I switched Mail to off and then back on again, in hopes that this would reset itself or something. When I return to my Mail application, iCloud doesn't show as one of my Accounts, only my personal Yahoo and my work Exchange account. I cannot figure out why my iCloud mail does not show up there, even though I am logged in under iCloud and i can access it on my desktop.
I appreciate the help.

ICloud doesn't show my storage

Hello,
A few hours ago I have bought additional storage to my iCloud account for 0,99E/month and still, after hours 20GB hasn't show up, and my iCloud account screams everytime that there's no space and only 1,8MB left... What now? I have only Family Sharing and I'm not the owner of the Visa Card. May that be the problem that there's no more space on iCloud? The weirdest thing is that it dragged away money from the card account... I need help.
Thanks in advance

Now that'a a syncing issue not a back up issue. Syncing and backing up are not the same thing.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Mail is showing incorrect email in inbox

Twice now I have had emails show up in my inbox that show the correct From Adress and Subject Line, but then the email itself is from a random email from over a year ago. I have to log into google.com on Safari to find out what the actual email is.
Has this happened to anyone else? this is very frustrating. Only started once I upgraded to Mountain Lion.
Thanks,
Steve

Assuming you're using the Mac Mail, I suggest doing a Mailbox ---> Rebuild from the Mac Mail menu.

RAID 0 Windows shows incorrect Drive capacity

Hello ALL I just installed RAID 0 on my PC with 2 Raptor Drives using the Intel Controller on the Neo 875 FIS2R.
The only problem I am having is when I look at my C drive in Windows XP Pro it shows the Capacity of one Drive only but the RAID seems to be working and the Intel Program does show it set up Correctly.. Is there any way to get a correct showing of Drive Space in Windows using RAID 0 ?

Never Mind I found it..... incase u were wondering or have the same problem

Storage capacity locked

Why does my New ipad 2 32gig show 57.5 gigs with 28.5 gigs usable? Is it really a 64 gig with 32 gigs locked out?

Hi dadmom: I'm guessing you are seeing this capacity from within Windows Explorer. Yes? There have been a few posts on here of Explorer showing incorrect storage capacity. It should show the correct numbers within iTunes.

Will iPad gain storage capacity when iCloud is started?

I have not been able to find a "solid" answer regarding the impact of iCloud on my iPad's storage capacity. For example, my Music Library totals 2GB. If I initiate iCloud, does that 2GB transfer to iCloud and free up 2GB on my iPad for Movies, Apps, or more Music...? Or does it transfer to iCloud with no change to my iPad capacity? Thank you for your time and energy on this. Look forward to hearing any feedback.........

iCloud will make any purchases you have made on iTunes available to all your devices.
I think you are talking about iTunes Match, that makes all your music library available to all your devices. However, it downloads any selected music to your device, it does not stream it. In addition, any local content you have already stored on your iPad will not be affected, i.e. it will still take up the 2Gb unless you delete it locally and then re-download it when you want to listen.
So, the short term answer is, yes, it will free up your 2Gb IF you delete it locally, but whenever you listen to any music from the Cloud, it will start to claw back that space until you delete it again.

Mac shows wrong storage information

Hi,
My macbook shows incorrect storage information, which is inconsistent with the available storage space.
The storage maps shows that:
App 119G with 179G free from 250 G
Which does not added up correctly.
I have tried to use disk repair in recovery mode but the storage is still wrong.
I'm using 10.10.1 OS X yosemite on my macbook
I do not use time machine.
Is there any way to solve this issue?
Thank you.

Hi joannnnnnnn,
If you are using a MacBook Pro or MacBook Air with a solid state drive (SSD), you may notice some discrepancies in the available, used, and total storage reporting. If this is the case, you may find the following article helpful:

"other" shows wrong storage information

Hi all,
My system is mountain lion, today I found that "other" shows zero KB. However, according to the graph bar, "other" should have almost 100 GB. So it dosen't
make sense at all for "other" only showing zero KB.. Last time I checked the storage of my laptop, "other" can indicate right storage space... I dont know what happened to my system to show incorrect storage information..
Does anyone have the situation like me before?
Any helps appreciated!

I had exactly the same problem but with 105 GB of yellow 'other' space on a 250 GB disk . I used Omidisk to give me a proper readout of what all the yellow was and it was mostly hidden files left by appplications I previously used that wasn't deleted when I removed them. Thunderbird mail was one of the main culprits.
If anyone knows of a good way of optimising disk space that doesn't require completely rebuilding the computer's Spotlight index then please let us know.

Mail appears in iCloud mail inbox but other folders (sent, archive etc) have no mail in them.

The move form mobileme to icloud seems to have worked for all services apart from mail. OSX Mail and IOS5 mail (iphone 4 & Ipad1) seems to be syncing correctly with iCloud and can see all the mail in all folders (sent, archive and personal folders. But for some reason iCloud mail only shows the mail in the inbox even though it is correctly syncing to the other devices.
Anybody else had this problem? Any advice/ideas would be appreciated?

Hi. I managed to resolve this problem today. I used the express lane for icloud.
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
Online chat with support who checked my icloud mail account. They reset something at the icloud server and my emails have now appeared in all folders with everything working ok.
Hope this works for you.
