I can't buy extra storage space for my iCloud account..

Hi All.
I use iTunes 10.5 and ios 5. My iCloud space is mostly full. I have been trying to purchase the 10GB extra space since yesterday but it keeps on giving me an error message (An unknown error has occurred).
I tried over my iPhone, iPad, and Windows 7 iCloud Control Panel. Failed each time, several times.
Please assist.
Regards,
Jaber

I guess the problem is getting a little bit more clear to me.
My guess is that we all use iTunes giftcards (as some of you already said)
and no credit card linked to our accounts.
So this could be the problem that we all are getting the unkown error issue.
But then again, as we all can read in the terms and conditions of iCloud, it says that a valid credit card is needed for purchasing extra storage for iCloud, "AND" as well is itunes store credit a legit way of purchasing extra storage for iCloud.
So my guess is, they would accept iTunes store credit, but only when you would have a credit card linked into your account.
I hope this isn't true and it is just another problem, but it all points in this direction.
That would be a big fail.

  • Can I buy more storage space for my IPAD2

    I have a 16G IPAD2. Is it possible to buy more memory for it?

    No. iPad's storage space cannot be updated. What you buy is what you stay with.
    You can however, either sell the iPad and buy one with more storage or pursue external storage solutions for it such as:

  • I can not buy more storage space, I've tried everything!! Without success I'm in despair!

    I can not buy more storage space, I've tried everything!! Without success I'm in despair!

    Thank you all for the help. I truly apreciate it. I have since reset my ipad for the second time by myself and it is ok now. I have a different problem at this time. My photo stream on icloud is greyed out and there are no backups for my photos. My camera roll and my photostream are both on my ipad, but don't show up in my set of folders on my device when trying to download or copy to my pc. It used to before I reset the ipad. I now have an iphone 4s, and hope to save up for a mac for artwork, but the response I recieved from apple tech is making me think twice. I asked either about the outlook mail dilemma or the photosteam problem, whichever it was I was asked if it was on the ipad or the pc that it was greyed out and I said on the pc and they hung up. I didn't get the chance to tell them that it was greyed out in icloud also.  I solved the mail dilemma by using microsoft skydrive, since outlook is not used with windows 7, that solved the contacts, mail, reminders, calendars and notes. I had to figure that out by myself. Unfortunately without beingf able to browse my ipad's folders freely, I can't do anything about the photos. How do I get icloud to save my stream if it doesn't see it? I don't know of anyone with a mac, or I would see if their machine would see the folder. I'm thinking maybe I missed something in setting up. I have a bunch of folders that show that are imported folders, but there are a lot of them, some with only one picture in them. That's not what I would have done if I put in folders, but i am coming from being a total MS pc person to trying to work with apple. Things don't work the same and I'm trying to learn. Any help is appreciated.

  • Storage space for sub mail accounts

    Does anyone know how I can allocate more storage space for my additional mail accounts? I ran out of space and purchased another 2gb of storage on my .mac account. However, none of this space is allocated to my additional mail accounts i.e. all of it goes into my main mail account (where I dont need it...). Any advice?

    This forum is for discussing issues related to the Mail & Address Book applications included with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Yours appears to be a .Mac issue that has absolutely nothing to do with Mac OS X’s Mail. The right forum for such questions would be one of the .Mac Forums, such as .Mac General, for example.

  • How can I change the "Full Name" for my iCloud account?

    Hello,
    At some point in the past, iCloud started identifying me as someone else when I send emails. This incorrect name appears to be the "Full Name" setting of the email account, but when modifying the properties for the email account in Mail the field for modifying the "Full Name" setting is disabled, not allowing me to make any changes.
    Where is the correct place to change the "Full Name" setting for my iCloud account?
    Thanks,
    - Josh
    <Email Edited By Host>

    I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
    Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done.  Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it.  Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

  • How can I revert to a backup for my icloud account?

    I bought my wife a new IMac which works great.  The problem is that icloud pushed all my phone contacts to her imac after I signed on to my iphone/istore account using her imac.  I deleted all the contacts from her imac (bad move) which in turn deleted all my years of contacts from my iphone 4.  I did a sync with my phone to itunes on my PC and did a revert for my iphone.  This worked great but when I went within cell range it erased all my contacts again.  I did another sync with my phone and turned off icloud on my phone.  My contacts are now on my phone only.  How can I get these many contacts back on icloud without physically retyping?  Can I make my old iphone backup the current icloud database?  Help!

    This will help this from happening again but my question remains;  Can I make my old iphone backup the current database for my icloud account?  I want to activate icloud on my phone again and have my contacts backed up without erasing them.  I am going to set up a new icloud account for my wife's imac to prevent future problems. 

  • HT4847 Can I buy extra storage for each Apple device by having more than one Apple ID?

    Hi All!
    I have multiple Apple devices and would like to have separate storage for each device, Ipad, Iphone, and Ipod. Is this possible? Can I have more than one Apple ID?

    Not if you want them to share the same iCloud account so they sync the same data between all your devices.  To share the same account, they have to all be set up with the same iCloud ID, and will share the same 5GB of free storage (but you can always purchase more).
    If you want them to be on separate iCloud accounts, you can set up a different iCloud account on each device using as separate Apple ID for iCloud on each.  (You can have more than one Apple ID).  If you do this, they will each have their own, separate iCloud account with 5GB of free storage, but will not sync iCloud data between them.

  • Reset Apple ID on my iphone 5s thru itunes. However, I can not change my apple ID for my icloud account on 5S. pl help

    Please help with changing Apple ID for icloud account on iPHone 5S. I have reset my Apple ID on iphone using itunes and app tab on settings.

    Hello there, KunnufromAndover.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides great information on steps to take after you've made changes to your Apple ID:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Is Apple trying to force me to buy extra storage space???

    Hi! I have been getting this messages from quite some time that my 5 GB storage capacity is almost full. My iPad only uses 409 MB and my iPhone uses 4.2. Of those 4.2 GB, camara roll was using 3.6 GB. Two days after upgrading to iOS 6 I had to restore my iPhone and now on my Next Backup Size it says that Camara roll will take 6.6 GB(???) I have just deleted about half of the photos on my iPhone and the next backup size didn't come down. What's more under Usage, my camara roll is 3.3 GB.
    I just don't understand iCloud storage!
    Any advice? Thanks!
    Cesar

    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap your device and in the next page, turn off camera roll.  The main rule to remember is to always sync photos to a computer for storage, don't rely on iCloud.  Too many users has lost some/all their photos when doing a restore.  Trust photos to a computer.

  • Purchased extra storage space...not working..?

    I just bought extra storage space for the icloud so that I could download a movie onto my ipad.  When I now go to download the movie it still says that there isn't enough space...does it take a while for the purchase to go through or am I doing something wrong here..?

    Storage space in iCloud has nothing to do with storage space on iPad.
    You need to delete items on iPad to make room for the movie.

  • How do I manage (i.e., limit) storage space for Messages?

    How can the amount of storage space for Messages be limited and/or managed? Messages are currently taking up nearly 600MB of my iPhone and iPad devices storage space. Deleting old message threads does not appear to reduce it. And I don't consider myself to use messages excessively.

    Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
    You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.
