I have 8.8gb left on my phone yet itunes won't update due to "not enough memory"

What's up? I haven't downloaded any big programme nor uploaded massive music libraries. Suddenly, I'm not able to sync due to a lack of memory. What could be causing this?

I checked a support article that gives instructions to reset the sync history by going through the "edit" tab. It looks like preferences has been moved to the "iTunes" tab. But when I access devices through the iTune tab there is no option to reset the sync history. I think this is an option that has been removed in the new ITunes.

I followed the advice of another user, cleared my payment information and re-entered my credit card info and this took care of it, I was immediately able to download new purchases. Apparently they called and got this info from someone at Apple, there is some sort of "bug". worked for me...hope it helps you out too!!

Top download and install apps you need space available on the iPod equal to about three time the file download size. If you download more than one app at a time you need about three times the total file download size available so it is better if short on storage to purchase one at a time.

My iPad and iPhone4s both state "NOT ENOUGH STORAGE" and can't backup due to not enough iCloud storage available in the cloud. I have sync my phone but I still get the msg - I will sync the iPad as well - both devices receive my mail as well as Acer pc.?

I have sync my phone to my pc using itunes, but I still get the msg on the phone - could it be that the ipad and phone both receive the same mail? I did go into Settings - icloud - and shut off Mail on phone - I will sync the iPad as well - both devices receive my mail as well as Acer pc.? thank you -

Not having enough storage in your iCloud account isn't caused by using your iCloud email account on your device. It may be caused by having lots of email in your account though.
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage to see what is taking up the space in your account.

I have a i phone 5 that we are getting a message not enough storage this Iphone cannot be backed up beacause there is not enough Icloud storage available. But we cannot go to settings or close out the message . i cannot power off the phone or anthing

First, press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon appears.
The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud. Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well. Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

TS3992 I have been getting this message: "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available." However, the phone says that I still have 1.1 GB of available storage. Any suggestions?

Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: go to Settings - iCloud - Storage and backup - turn off the iCloud backup
and backup with iTunes from now on

Or, if you prefer to keep backing up with iCloud, check out this article, it will help you understand how to manage the iCloud storage:

You can add a card, or you can ask iTS to zero-out that balance. but you'll lose it.

My phone on contract with t-mobile . Thanks

You can't have content in iCloud without having it on your phone, you will need to look at deleting items from your device that you don't need. Movies and TV shows from iTunes are possibly a good start because they tend to be large and can be redownloaded at a later date.

Yesterday I used my iphone in the rain. I think some water must have got inside. Now the phone seems to be working OK but is not backlit so is incredibly hard to read. Is there anything I can do to reset or have I ruined the phone?

What you should have done is immediately turn the phone off, then put it in a ziploc bag of dried rice after you wiped all visible moisture off the phone. Leave it in the ziploc bag for 3 ~ 4 days, then turn it on & hope things work OK. It may be too late to try the dry rice trick now, but you can give it a shot if you like.
Apple does have an out of warranty replacement program, cost in the US is $199 for the 4S & $149 for other models.
