I have 'not enough space' cursed Pages; even though I have plenty of room it refuses to let me download and install it.

Common problem, except all trouble shooting leads to the suicide of the question asker because it yields only claims that no matter what you say, you need to make MORE space. It's a 30 meg file, I have 500 meg free. I have deleted and redownloaded and rebooted about thirty times, in various combinations.
Previously I have cursed many apps this way, always free apps, so I just accepted they were 'dead' to my phone, even after iOS updates and ever since the iPhone 3 this problem has existed (ie: if you didn't have enough space when you START downloading the first time, kiss that app goodbye for life, it just WILL NOT download EVER.) and will either sit at 'Waiting' for a while then claim there's not enough space, or just sit at 'Waiting' indefinitely and progress no further.
The only thing I haven't tried is formatting the entire thing as a fresh phone and retrying, but that's pretty extreme. Has Apple acknowledged this bugs existance yet? Every support thread I see gets replies of "Make more space." no matter what the asker states and eventually the guy just stops coming back and asking, so they're all pretty much unresolved.
Just for the record, I have extensive experience with technology, and am not mentally disabled, so please feel free to talk to me at the level at which your inner voice talks to you, I assure you I will get it. So, can has halp plz? 8(
(PS: I cannot update to the lates iOS 7 as I do not have the insane size required for it to decompress and install, etc, and to do so would require deleting things I cannot lose or having to back it all up manually because there's no convenient way to do it otherwise. Although I can assure you that this problem has been present since the iPhone 3 first came out which was my first iPhone and has been present in every iOS update since, so I have no reason to believe out of the dozens of updates that iOS 7 has addressed this.)

When you don't have enough storage to perform an operation, then you don't have enough storage.  have you got the 16GB iphone?

  • Wont sync because of not enough space but it also says i have free space at the bottom

    I synced my entire itunes at first. Then  I got some more music off an old ipod and wanted to put it on knowing I have to select specific artist or albums instead of the whole collection. I have around 3000 songs on the ipod now. Its not letting me sync around 2000 songs it says because not enough space.  The gauge at the bottom says i have 6 gbs left and the ipod it self says it has 3 gbs.  This is all besides the point because Im trying to put less stuff on there.  Why?

    hey ,
    if it is showing you 34 mails them it is correct. when you see your mail. apple has a smart way of arranging your mail.suppose you recieve 4 mails from one email id it will show you under one highlighted mail. so when you open a mail from anyone trying scrolling it down and you will find your missing mails.

  • Not enough space on disk error when I have enough space on disk

    I'm trying to export a video to my external hard drive, which has plent of space.  About halfway through the export, Premiere gives me a "not enough space on disk" error.  My startup drive is getting pretty full, but still has a bit of memory and I'm not sure why I would need space there if the render is going the external.
    Thanks for any help!

    Macs can read NTFS volumes.
    Maybe, but they can't write to them out of the box.  And since external drives generally come empty, it's a pretty safe bet that the purchaser will want to write files to it.  So, a lot of drive makers format as FAT32.
    exFAT is a better file system than FAT32, especially for solid state media like P2 and SD cards.  Using exFAT on those cards would allow large files (long continuous shots) and keep compatibility with Macs.  Now, if only camera makers would issue firmware updates to allows exFAT formatted media...

  • Why is my new music staying on my iPad and not going into my iCloud even though I have it set up to do so?

    I have gone through all the tutorials to get iCloud to back up my music for iTunes, but it still shows I have 5.0GB available (even though I have purchased more), and when I go to "backup" it acts like it's going to do it, but doesn't. I now need to update my iOS but can't because there's not enough storage on my iPad, a bit of a Catch 22. Can anyone help me figure out why my music isn't going to the cloud? Thanks!

    iCloud doesn't back up your music as part of your iCloud backup.  iCloud only includes music in two ways.  First, it allows you to redownload previously purchased music for free from iTunes (called "iTunes in the cloud").  Second, if you subscribe to iTunes Match on your computer, you iTunes library (up to 25,000 songs) will be available to download and play on your device anywhere you have a connection to the internet ( see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).

  • Have lost return button and will not open to home page even though it is set to

    Return button no longer works and home page will not open even though it is set to do so. I"ve reinstalled firefox, but this didn't help
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hello Rick.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
    If you need to restore your interface, you can go into ''View > Toolbars > Customize... > Restore default set''.

    Plug it into your computer and do the update with iTunes. The space requirement does not apply when doing a wired update.

  • Adobe Reader X is not properly displaying PDF's even though I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program.

    I recently updated to Firefox 5.0. In April I also updated my Adobe Reader to Version X. Suddenly, pdf's do not open properly; they are fragmented, they "smear", and they do not cover the whole page. I uninstalled all of my Adobe files this morning and reinstalled Reader and Flash Player. I used the Windows Add/Remove feature for uninstalling. I gave up trying to open JPEG's months ago and now only use the Windows fax and picture displayer that. But now I'm having PDF issues. And I download a lot of PDF's.

  • Why are playlists made in iTunes not pushing to my iPhone, even though I have iTunes Match?

    I have made a couple both Smart and regular playlists on iTunes. Then I clicked Store > Update iTunes Match.  It updated and yet the playlists are not on my phone... I shouldn't have to sync my phone should I?

    A solution I've mentioned in other threads for iTunes Match not syncing playlists to iPhone is to log out of your iTunes Account (Apple ID) in the iTunes & App Store page of Settings, turn phone off, then on, then log in again. This has solved problems for a number of people.  Cheers.

    please help

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
