HT4910 how do i reset to use all the storage available?    I have 10 available but it won't back up.

I Upgraded my iCloud sstorage but when I backup it will not back up, although I have 10 gb available.  What is next step?

If you get the message "Backup not successful",  I had the same problem.
My solution was to turn off some apps (Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap my device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options) and try a manual backup.  If it didn't work, turn off a few more apps and try a backup.  Keep doing that until the backup works.  Then try adding in some of the last batch of apps that were previously turned off - the objective is to find the app that causes the backup to fail.  For me, I suspect that the one app I found had a bad data file that, when included in the backup, caused the backup to quit.
This can be a long process if you have a lot of apps that you originally turned on for backups.

  • I am confused about how to manage photos between my iPhone, iMac and iPad.  How do I avoid using all the storage pace on my various devices?

    How do I manage photos between my ipad, iphone and imac without using all the storage on the various devices?

    If enabled, iCloud Photo Stream ensures all new photos are sent to all your devices. Then you can simply add the ones you want to each one's Library, and delete any photos you don't want.
    One technique is to designate one device as the "master" containing all your photos - probably your iMac, since it is likely to have the greatest available storage - and make sure you have a backup strategy for it. That way, any photos you choose to keep on your iPad and iPhone are redundant copies that can be deleted as you wish, or as required should you need to restore your iOS device. If your iMac breaks and its Library irretrievably lost, the importance of its backup becomes critical. Therefore, consider having more than one backup, and more than one geographical location for them.

  • How do I take advantage of all the space I should have!?

    My iPod nano(2G) isn't being able to use all of its space for music. I should be able to use 1.83Gs, but it doesn't even let me add ONE SONG! How do I take advantage of all the space I should have!?!?!?!?!?!
      Windows XP  

    What format are the songs you have imported? The advertised song capacity of iPod is based on 4 minute songs encoded in AAC format at a bit rate of 128 kbps. Longer songs and songs encoded at a higher bitrate or in uncompressed formats take up more space, that's probably why you are getting fewer on. Go to iTunes and right click on one of your songs, choose Get Info>Summary and look at "Kind" to see what format you are using: iTunes: About import settings and hard disk space

  • I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there

    I recently downloaded Ios 7 and all the songs that i have purchased before, but deleted off my itunes because i didn't want them, showed up. I don't know how to delete them off my ipod and i really don't want them there. Is there a way to get them off? The songs dont show up in my itunes on my computer, just on my ipod with a download button next to them. I don't want them there anymore because i don't like that kind of music anymore and i don't know how to get them to go away.

    There is a similar setting for Videos on that Settings screen, so if you leave that 'on' you may have similar happening in the Videos app

  • I have used all the storage on my iPhone 4S...can I move all my photos to iCloud?

    I have used up all my storage on my iPhone 4S, because I have a lot of photos that sync from my computer, a Mac with OSX 10.9.5.  Can I take the photos off my phone, and then stop the ones on my computer from syncing back to my phone?

    Greetings LOLKimmy,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to import your photos that have on your iPhone to your Mac and stop iTunes from syncing your photo albums from your Mac back to your iPhone. To accomplish this, I would first suggest importing your photos to your Mac using the instructions located in the article below.
    iPhoto 9.5: Import photos or video from a digital camera
    After your pictures have been imported and you would like to removed your synced photos and albums from you iPhone, please follow the instructions located in the next attached article.
    Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
    Delete synced photos
    In iTunes, locate and click on your device.
    Click Photos.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.
    Learn how to delete photos and video synced from iTunes when you can't access the originals.

  • Photoshop isn't using all the ram that I have.

    I recently installed 8gb of RAM into my Macbook Pro so i could increase the performance of Photoshop. Before using Photoshop, I increased the the "memory usage" slider up to 75% but after I do that, its only using 1gb worth of RAM. Am I doing something wrong?..I would appreciate of someone could help me out.

    Did you double-check that you have not set it to run in 32bits mode? (right-click on the Photoshop CS5.app icon, select Get Info, and see if start in 32 bits mode is not checked.) http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/828/cpsid_82824.html

  • I just sync'd my iPod Nano for the first time. All the audiobooks appear to have been loaded but I cannot hear anything during playback. The volume is turned all the way up. My headphones work when plugged into a different unit. What's next?

    I just sync'd my brand new ipod Nano with my laptop PC running Windows 7, and loaded all my audiobooks. They show up on the Nano's screen, but when I select one I hear nothing. The earphones work fine when connected to another unit. What's next?

    I'm ok with having to resync everything once she gets home but it concerned me when you said it would, again, wipe everything once I plugged it in here. I don't care about having to reload music, contacts, & apps from here, but I would rather not lose all the pictures that she took while she was gone. If we did decide to go the whole start-over-from-scratch route on her end while she is there, could the loss of pictures be adverted if she created a backup of her phone, copied the backup to a USB drive, & brought the backup file home with her so I could restore it from here? When I plug my phone into another computer, I can open it through My Computer & copy the pictures; could I do that when she gets home before I allow iTunes to open & wipe everything again?
    I guess the other option would be to just have her just copy all of the pictures onto a USB drive before she comes home, I'm just curious if it's possible to restore everything if she just brings the backup file home.
    Thanks again for taking the time to helping me.

  • How do I reset or change all the keychain passwords?

    Is there away to change all of them?

    If there is a way to change them all at once would be nice. I've tried using the keychain access app and that just confused me even more.
    The reason I'm changing the password is I updated to Leopard and now the systme is asking for a keychain password for whatever I try to do?

  • How to format disk to use all the space?

    Hi,
    A drive I'm trying to reconfigure has the current configuration:
    Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
    0 root wm 0 - 2213 10.74GB (2214/0/0) 22529664
    1 swap wu 2214 - 2616 1.96GB (403/0/0) 4100928
    2 backup wm 0 - 14086 68.35GB (14087/0/0) 143349312

    7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
    Notice that only about 18.5GB out of the 68.35GB is in use. I wish to create a slice that takes up the rest of the drive without in any way affecting what is already in partitions 0, 1, 2 and 5. How do I do so?
    Thanks

    Hello Bancroft,
    have you reviewed the manpage of <b>format</b> ?
    Basically you want to assign cylinder 3825-14086 to a new slice.

  • How do i reset and erase all content settings when i dont know my restriction password

    How do I reset and erase all content without knowing a restriction passcode

    You can't. You have to get into settings in order to erase all content and settings. You have to restore the devics using iTunes and you have to restore as new or if you restore the backup, you will just be restoring the restrictions code that you can't remember.
    Do not backup the iPad since you will not be able to use it.

  • How do i reset a used ipad given to me as a christmas gift.  i  am unable to finish activation becau se the previous owner's gmail account still shows

    How do I reset a used ipad given to me as a gift?  I am unable to finish activation because I have no previous owner's information?

    Settings, general, erase all content and settings.
    if the person has iOS7 on that device and it's activation locked then you'll need the apple ID of the previous owner to fully wipe it. So if you can't wipe it you'll need that previous owner to give you their apple ID or to unlock it for you.
    If you can't contact them or if they can't unlock it, try to get your money back because without that info you can't fully erase that ipad, and it's unfortunately possible that the device they sold you wasn't theirs to sell.

  • TS1388 My battery on my macbook pro all of a sudden keeps using the battery power really quickly, so I am having to rechareg it constantly.  Does anyone know why this occurs or how to fix it.  I have used all the energy saving tips.

    Hi My battery on my macbook pro keeps running low on power very quickly and I have to keep recharging it.  This has never happened before. I have used all the power saver options, but it keeps happening.  Can anyone help. The battery seems to be losing power even when it is turned off.

    Hi BigThinker,
    How old is your Mac? If it is an older one, then the battery may just be dying. You can check by clicking on the Apple in the upper left-hand corner, then clicking on About This Mac>More Info>System Report, then click on Power (about half way down the list). At the top of the resulting display, you should see the following type of info:
    The Health Information will tell you if your battery is going to need replacement soon. If it says Normal, then it is not the battery.
