I clearly have enough memory space but why is it still not able to download?

So I bought this app that requires 1.5 GB of memory space and I have 3.2 GB of memory space. But whenever I try to download it keeps saying I don't have enough storage. I've deleted many apps, songs and videos but its still not working. I've also tried restarting my iPad mini multiple times and its still not working. Has anyone else encountered this problem before, if so what's the solution to the problem?

Apps that are that large are compressed. Decompression can use twice that amount, even more. On top of that, the device needs working memory as well. I'd say you need to free up at least another 1 GB, maybe even more. Keep offloading apps, music, videos, whatever to free up enough space for the download & decompression. Hopefully, you can fit what you removed back on after the app has downloaded & installed.

    "will still not let me access anything" is very vague.

  • Why is my iPad not able to download mail for hours at a time while the iPhone next to it has no problem?

    Why is my iPad not able to download mail when the iPhone next to it can and the iPad may be able to do it 24 hours later with no change in settings?  This happens with multiple email accounts at the same time in several locations on many occasions.  The setting is to check emails every 15 minutes.   It says it is checking but nothing comes up while it does on my Mac or iPhone

    I have exactly the same problem here.
    Can see new email appearing straight away on the iPhone and Windows pc, but very erratic on the iPad.  Sometimes the emails appear immediately on the iPad, other times they don't appear for hours. 
    One thing I have noticed if I go and change the "delete messages - remove" setting to something other than what it was set (for instance from "never" to "one month") it seems to jiggle something and the outstanding emails all suddenly appear.

  • When i download files on MEGA it says that I don't have enough system space but on MEGA i only have file with 128MB and on my disk 120GB, what's wrong?

    i'm trying to download small files like 190MB, together is max.1GB with MEGA. it comes to 100% but then i got a message that i don't have enough system space. on MEGA i have only around 1GB and my disc is at 120GB. i don't know what to do

    Hi copycat667,
    Please see your system resources in order to find out how much space you have left for this MEGA program you are having difficulties with.
    I do not completely understand your question, but I will do my best to answer. If you are downloading files from a website called Mega on Firefox, it may be that the space allocated to the folder it is downloading to is out of space or that there is a limitation on the website how much you can download in a certain time period?

    Mega uses a filesytem api to detect the size left: [http://developer.chrome.com/apps/fileSystem] this may put you in the right direction.

    This forum is for iPod only, best post questions 2 and 3 in other forums.
    If you run out of space (and 1 GB is not too much, I have a 2GB iPod Nano and can barely fit all on it), there's no other option than cycling the song on a regular basis. Make a couple of playlists that fit in 1GB, set the iPod to manual management, and replace one playlist with another one every couple of days.

    I am get this message on my Ipad and have followed the instructions, connect the Ipad, lock the screen and connected to a Wi-Fi connection - however I have done this but I still get the message on the screen.  It will not even let me press 'OK' - the screen is not responsive...

    Reset your iPad to clear that condition:
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

    I am not able to make a facetime call after my recent iOS update. It is still saying that I need to connect to wifi when I try to do so. Does not give use cellular option in my general settings.

    You will need to contact Sprint and find out what data plan you need.

  • Photoshop Elements 10, says I don't have enough disk space to install when I do

    I have tried installing PSE 10 several times and each time it tells me that I don't have enough disk space, but will flash up a drive on the list that does but will not let me select it, HELP ! ! !

    Try to make some temporary extra space on C drive, which PSE uses only during the installation process. Once the installation is complete that space should be freed up.
     

  • I have reset my Mac password, but still am not able to download new software due to unrecognized password!!

    Please help me reset my password to "set-up." I have already reset my Apple password, but am still not able to download new software.

    Are you the administrator on  the macbook and are you the only account? In system preferences-system accounts,. You have all the users for the macbook. At the top you have password and login. you should be in password. On the left is the accounts. You should click on the one that is the administrator account. On the right is a bar that says change password. You click on that. It will go to another screen wear you enter your old pasword and then you new password. Then verify, then add hint if you want . Then click change. Do you see a little box with a key in it beside the enter new passward, that is for keychain. Your admin. password and keychain passwords have to match. That lets you download and open accounts, do updates ect. Doing this way sets admin and keychain pasword. If you keychain password is different than you admin password, that will stop you from downloading new software. Go to apple -support and beside support in search type in KB/h1631 then hit return. That explains keychain an how to change it if you have to.

    Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
      1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
      2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
      3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
      4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
      5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
      6. See The Storage Display.
    You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
    You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
    Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
    You will need a minimum of 10-12 GBs of free space to install Yosemite, however, that is a bare minimum and should be at least twice that amount.

  • I am trying to install a program on my Mac Book Pro Retina from a Apple SuperDrive. Every time I run the installer, it says I do not have enough memory to install. However, I definitely have enough memory (186.74 GB). Any ideas why?

    I am trying to install a program on my Mac Book Pro Retina from a Apple SuperDrive. Every time I run the installer, it says I do not have enough memory to install. However, I definitely have enough memory (186.74 GB). The program takes only 550 MB. Any ideas why?

    Thanks for the clarification on the terms. I consider myself proficent at my computer, but not exactly in its inner-workings! I have 8 GB of memory installed.
    I am still confused as to why I do not have any space for the program. This is the exact error message I get: "There is not enough free space on Macintosh HD disk. The Print Shop 2 application requires about 550 MB to be installed. Free some disk space and try again."
    Thank you again for your help.

  • Greyed out circle, but I have enough memory?

    Usually the circle means I didn't have enough memory, so I just clear out stuff I don't want and it's fine. However, I have 5.81GB free (according to the little bar at the bottom, but it's lied to me before)... I'm trying to put on one song, but it won't let me. I'm preeettttyyyyyyy sure this song is not over 5GB. I was actually trying to put the whole album on, but that didn't work, so I tried just one song... still didn't work. I'm backing up my iPod now, thinking of wiping it and putting everything back on... but that's such a hassle. I'd really love for iTunes to just work instead of messing up every single time I try to do anything. D:
    I haven't updated iTunes recently, could that effect it? Why does that effect it? I'll just roll on the floor and sing to myself if it keeps giving me trouble bleh.

    iTunes eventually updated after I did it manually. Songs still not syncing, though. I've updated and reinstalled iTunes, restarted all the little mobile device support things, ran diagnostics, renamed the sync folder, moved stuff around, changed it to the recommended file type, let iTunes put it in its own little music folder. Done everything but restore my iPod, but that always takes forever and a day... and I'm paranoid of losing stuff. I don't have access to my old music files right now so I don't wanna risk it.

  • HT1657 I have rented a movie on my iPad but it won't download because I don't have enough memory.  Searching thru the FAQ it looks like I am unable to transfer this to my Apple TV.  Is this correct & if so then maybe there should be a warning when purchas

    I have rented a movie on the iPad but I don't have enough memory for it to download  - so I wanted to make it available on my Apple TV - looking at the FAQ it doesn't look like I am allowed to do this! Why not - I've purchased/rented this movie I should be able to watch on any device??!   Can I get a refund for something I can't watch??

    As it says on the page that you posted from :
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Why it's like that I don't think that Apple have said (these are user-to-user forums). If you haven't downloaded it on your iPad then have you checked to see if you can download it on your computer's iTunes (Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option) or Apple TV ?
    If it doesn't show on either of them then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will let you download it on a different computer/device or refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
