HT6162 how do i make space for ios 7 upgrade i have 17 gigabytes of icloud bought

i need to upgrade to ios 7 any suggestions?

The storage space in iCloud has nothing to do with the storage space available inside the iPhone.
If Csound's suggestion still fails to find enough space in the phone, you will have to delete some stuff to make room (videos and photos take the most space).

My Tom Tom app can't update as it tells me I haven't enough space for it, how can I make space for the update?

I didn't think that I have that much on my iPad , but I can't seem to understand how to make room for this update. If I delete the app and try to reload it will I have lost this app and data and have to re buy it

Hello there Frenchyfile,
I would suggest freeing up some space on your iPhone either from the Music app, or podcasts with this:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
From: iPhone User Guide page 61
          http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
The same steps to delete a podcast apply for the podcasts app.
You can also free space by deleting other Apps on the iPhone
Remove app
If you are having issues with a particular app, try removing the app from your iPhone.
To avoid losing any app data, first back up your information.
Touch and hold any app icon on the Home screen until the icons start to jiggle.
Tap the "x" in the corner of the app you want to remove. You may be prompted to rate the app.
Tap Delete to remove the app and all of its data from your iPhone.
Click the Home button to cancel or stop deleting apps.
Proceed to the next step to reinstall your app.

Also you can delete photos or videos from your Photos app.
View your Camera Roll album: Swipe to the right, or tap the thumbnail image. You can also view your Camera Roll album in the Photos app.

Also keep in mind, if you bought this app from the App store, you can download it free of charge again if it needs to be re installed.

Lack of space for ios 6 upgrade...

I have an iPhone 4s with ios 5.1.1 and I wanted to upgrade to ios6. I need 2.5GB of space for the upgrade but only have 1.8GB space left. My music takes up 6.2GB of space. Can I somehow deal with the music file to create space for an upgrade? Is that where iCloud comes in? Any suggestions?

Your music should all be on your computer because that is how you do it with music - sync it from the master collection on your computer. Then you just need to temporarily delete sufficient files to create enough free space for the upgrade. After the upgrade sync your computer again to restore the files.

Need to delete music from my iPhone to make space for iOS upgrade. Should I get rid of all (and how would I do this?) and use the cloud as playback source?

My phone wants to upgrade to 7.0.2, but there's not enough room. I (stupidly) upgraded my iCloud capacity thinking that that would help, but it doesn't. Now I'm considering deleting my music off my phone altogether, but I need some of it there for a variety uses at the school where I teach. Does the cloud preserve my playlists? Can I selectively delete music from my iPhone?

Hi - you can do what you want to do with AirPlay from your iPhone - but unfortunately it is not as easy as the people in the Apple store told you - your first problem is that you have a non Apple router - you cannot extend a non Apple router wirelessly with the Express - you can only join the network and connect an ethernet device to it - you can however connect via ethernet and have it create a wireless network of its' own - you can set this up from your iPhone or the XP - but this is a complicated setup and would involve many different discussion areas of this forum - therefore I would suggest that you use your 90 days of support and consult directly with Apple to do this - go to this link - http://www.apple.com/support/contact/

How do I make space on my iPad for updates?

How do I make space on my iPad for updates?

You can copy iTunes downloads from it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases so that you can delete them from your iPad. How much that you will need to delete will depend upon how much free space that you currently have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Available), and depending upon your current iOS version you might be able to see how much space each app is taking via Settings > General > Usage (from where you can also delete items).
You can also delete items by connecting it your computer and on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC) selecting the content categories underneath the iPad's name and using the right-hand side of the screen to delete items.
If you delete an app then you will also be deleting all of its content.

Software Update Server - Deleting old updates to make space for new ones

On Page 77 of the SystemImage_and_SW_Updatev10.4.pdf Apple recommends "deleting old updates to make space for new ones". I've looked and searched and yet to find a way to do this. The Server Admin interface and the command line options I've looked into don't appear to provide this option.
So I actually tried stopping the server, moving the updates from /usr/share/swupd/html to another location, starting the server, the server wouldn't start, moving the files back again, the server still won't start.
1. Does anyone know how you're supposed to "Delete old updates to make space for new ones"
2. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get Software Update service running again?

How can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear

how can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear?

Hi-
This worked!. After updating to 7.0.6 a few days ago I was unable to delete apps. Called Apple support for help without success. I have NEVER entered a passcode to get in to restrictions so I know I didn't make this change (so I'm assuming that 7.0.6 did it for me). Apple wanted me to restore my iphone but thought I'd do more research first. Your advice solved the problem. THANKS!

I can't delete photo files to make room for iOS 8.

I can't delete photo files to make room for iOS 8.

Ive had this and solved it an entirely different way very quickly.
Connect the ipad to the imac (i assume its an imac);
Fire up itunes;
while thats happening create a new folder called EMPTY in your Pictures folder on the imac;
go back to itunes;
select the ipad;
go to photos on the ipad;
select SYNC FROM SELECTED FOLDER;
select your EMPTY folder;
then hit SYNC and the photos / videos in photo albums / the albums will all instantly disappear.
We had 7.98 Gb of syncd fotos and videos on the ipad and tried all the more lengthy [and unsuccessful] ways suggested elsewhere.
There was so little space we couldnt u/d the IOS !
OK, so we werent bothered about keeping the fotos that were on the ipad (they'd all been filed in iphot on the imac so not 'lost').
Nice to find a solution for yourself when you're a silver surfer in your mid '60's

HT201364 how do i make space on my startup disk?

how do i make space on my startup disk?

Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a computer hard drive get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you are an iMovie/ Final Cut user, both apps have their own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
http://www.omnigroup.com/more
Also, Find Any File
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.

How do I make it so iWork docs don't have to reformat from Mac to iOS

How do I make it so iWork docs don't have to reformat from Mac to iOS?
When I edit docs and spreadsheets on my Mac with OSX Mountain Lion with documents in iCloud, they have to be reformatted when I go to open them on my iPad or iPhone. This is minor annoyance but an annoyance nonetheless. Is there a way to format docs on the Mac so this does not take place?

Hello KatTreeRain,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Change the music video's *Media Type* to Video. To do this, right->click on the music video and choose *Get Info* and then head over to the Options tab. There you will see the *Media Type* option with a drop down list. This will move the music video to your Videos/Movies.

You can't do that. iCloud does function that way.
