I am unable to free up enough storage to download iOS 7.1.

I've deleted any app I don't use, and several that I did use, in an attempt to free up storage for this upgrade. Someone online mentioned "using iTunes to get the upgrade" but I could not do that. Any ideas?

"They" mentioned using iTunes because that requires much less space on the iPhone to update as the PC/Mac resources are used to unpack and process the update rather than the iPhone
only alternative is to remove data from iphone before updating

  • HT4623 I am getting a message on my iPhone that I don't have enough storage to download the update. How do I free up storage space?

    I am getting a message on my iPhone that I don't have enough storage to download the latest IOS update

    If at all possible, do the update via iTunes on your PC - then space is not an issue

  • I downloaded a tv show from iTunes and I can't watch it because it says I don't have enough storage to download?

    How do I watch a iTunes tv show I downloaded when a message pops up and says I don't have enough storage to download?

    Hi gregdojo,
    Welcome to macbook forum.
    Did you download it completely before you try to play it?
    How much space left in your HD?
    What about other TV shows? Try to download another one (pick one from the free section).
    If other played just fine and your last download still won't play smoothly, you can contact iTunes costumer service to adjust your credit back.
    Good Luck.
    ps: try to update the iTunes and repair permission after that might help.

  • I upgraded my storage plan but one of my devices still shows not enough storage to download application.

    I have upgraded storage plan because it kept telling me I did not have enough storage to download apps or take photos.  Now it is still giving me that error message!  Help!

    Hi Tawkd,
    Adding more iCloud storage will not help with your problem. What the error message is telling you is that you do not have enough physical storage on your actual device to be able to add more photos or apps. You need to go to Settings>General>Usage and at the very top under Storage, it will tell you how many GB you have used, and how many you have left.
    You need to free up storage on your device by deleting some of the things which are taking up so much room.
    Cheers,

  • I have bought 50 gb of storage and iTunes is still saying there is not enough storage to download tv shows. But I have 46 gb still available. How can I fix this?

    iCloud storage cannot be used to download content, because its not on your phone.
    You need physical local storage on your Phone not iCloud to download content.
    If your iPhone no longer has enough space, you will need to delete things off your iPhone to make room.

  • 5GB free, not enough storage error, and can't manage storage

    i having this problem:
    my icloud show me that i have 5gb free from 5gb, but when i try to backup my iphone it says that i have not enough storage, even so i backup only my contacts.
    i try to enter 'manage storage' but when i press it, it is just loading and doing nothing (stays on the same screen).
    i have to back my iphone up, please help me !!

    Try to hard reset by pressing two buttons - home and power at the top. Once restarts go to manage storage. If you ready to buy extra storage buy, if not use that article to turn off some of the things, starting with camera roll backup. Understand - that while it will probably have enough capacity after that you really want to backup pictures and videos, take it as band aid not solution.

  • How do I get enough storage to download iOS7 if I have already deleted all of my apps, music, and pictures?

    I am trying to update my iPhone4 to the iOS7 but I do not have enough storage. I don't know how to get more storage. I have already deleted all of my pictures, apps, music, and text messages. However, it's still says I do not have enough storage. I don't know what to do!!

    If you cannot clear enough room on the device to do the update via the phone, then connect the phone to the computer and iTunes and update that way.

  • "Don't have enough space" to download iOS 8.2

    I have tried to download iOS 8.2 for my iPhone 5  via iTunes but every time I click 'update' it says I need 610MB of free space on my iPhone to download it. However, On the sync bar at the bottom of iTunes it says I have 731.7 MB. Even when I take off more music and such from my iPhone it continues to say the same thing.
    What do I do?

    Update the firmware using iTunes on your computer, it will download iOS on your computer instead of on your iPhone.

Where I started.PLEASE help someone I'm desparete I don't know what else to do.

    Did you try rebooting your iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Or resetting all settings might give you a correct reading. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings. If you do this, all of the device settings will have to be entered again.
