I have an iPhone4s and my storage has reduced unexplainably due to apps. How can recoup the storage (besides deleting apps because I deleted a lot of my apps already.)

My phone's storage space is depleting rapidly.  It is mainly apps taking up this space, but I honestly don't have a lot of apps on my phone.  The apps should only take about .6 gigs and they are taking up almost 5 gigs or storage. The apps that are taking up the most room are Instagram and Pinterest, which are internet sights, so to me it doesn't make sense why they are taking up all of the storage room if they are backed up to the internet.  I know I really don't know a lot about this stuff, but it would really help if someone could explain to me what is going on and how I can fix the problem without completely deleting the apps if that is possible.

Alright, super weird, but looks like it's fixed.  I should note that before I tried anything, I deleted enough stuff so that I had plenty of space left for updates.  I held both buttons down until the phone turned off and then turned it back on.  Still the same issue.  Maybe half an hour later as I'm thinking about how I'll have to try to restore the phone, the screen lights back up on it's own and shows the lock screen...like someone had pressed the home button, even though I pressed nothing.  I unlocked the phone to see if I had a missed call or text or something and noticed that the "stuck" apps had updated and everything was working again. #applemagic

    I don't think I see my situation addressed. I have one mobile me account and a separate appleID for purchases.   I have 4 devices and my wife has two. Right now they are all using the same mobile me account to sync just the calendar and address book.
    1.)  I want to add email syncing for my 4 devices and email syncing for my wife's two devices separately, but we want to sync and share the same calendar and address book.  Is this possible?
    2.)  I also have 5 different calendars, one for work, one for home, one for... etc.  Is there a way to have different devices only sync certain calendars and not others or is it an all or nothing deal?
    Thanks in advance for any tips!

    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    Generally speaking it is not a good idea to share an iCloud account between different people, it often results in contracts, calendars et cetera being deleted by others. Saying that however you can add secondary iCloud accounts to your devices at settings> mail, contacts, calendars. Secondary accounts do not have all the features of a primary account, but are often very useful. Because you can enable or disable each individual feature of an iCloud account, you can cover almost any situation by using secondary accounts.

  • HT201269 I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

    I have new iphone and all data were restored but my music! How can I add my music from Itunes and new iphone?

    Connect the old phone to your computer, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Transfer Purchases. That should put all of your music in iTunes except any tracks that were not purchased from iTunes. If you have any such you will have to retrieve them from the original source, or see: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.
    Apple also has this tip for copying data from an old phone to a new one.

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
    If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

    This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

    The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

  • Hi there!!I have an emergency question,my friend has forgot his ipad 4 password,how can he use his ipad?any other ways expect restore??

    Hi,my friend has forgot his ipad 4 password,how can he use his ipad?any other ways expect restore??

    Forgotten passcode (Recovery Mode)
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

  • I have 2 iphones and a macbook on one mobile me account.  How can I keep mail in the macbook and one iphone private from the other iphone?

    I have an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 3GS, and a MacBook on one macmail and mobile me account.  How can I keep mail on the MacBook and iPhone 3 private from the iPhone 3GS?

    Pretty much. I don't understand why you need to worry about MobileMe, though. I'd guess the vast majority of us with iDevices don't have MobileMe accounts at all. That's pretty much why it failed.

  • TS1702 I have 10$ credit on my account and I'm attempting to make an in-app purchase; however, iTunes is saying I have no credit and is attempting to use my credit card. How can I resolve this?

    How an I fix it to accept my credit, instead of my card?

    How much is the in-app purchase you wish to make? Is it possible that with sales taxes, charged on most states if you're in the US, would push the price over $10? If so, and all you have is $10 in your balance, then the iTunes Store will require a credit card for the remainer of the cost.

  • I recently sent a block email to various people at the same time but forgot to use bcc and my account has been blocked for spamming. How can I sort this out?

    I work on the telephones at work and when I cannot get an answer from a customer I send them an e-mail asking them to contact me back at the office (missed call message). However I sent it to multiple recipients as I was in a hurry and did not click the bcc option to hide the customers mail addresses from each other by accident. They then marked the e-mails as spam and now my office thunderbird sends e-mails out but my customers call me saying they have not received any of the e-mails they have requested from our office. I would like to know if there is any way I can rectify this matter as it was just simply a mistake and because of this my business is suffering.

    Talk to your email provider. They control their servers and what happens to your email.

  • HT204088 I had two Apple IDs so I picked the current one I want to use.  Then I try to into iTunes or buy an app and it does not recognize my "new" ID.  How do get the old ID deleted and get the most current recognized?

    I had an Apple ID with an old email address and I tried to change it to a new ID.  When I try to go into anything requiring an Apple ID, I can't get in because my new ID is not recognized.  How do I get my new Apple ID recognized?

    To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
