  • HT4859 I have the error message "Not enough storage. Cannot backup, not enough backup space in ICloud . . . ", but now the "close" and "settings" buttons don't respond and I cant get the IPad to open so I can go change settings. What do I do?

    For a "hard" restart of your iPad just press the home and power button at the same time and hold it for at least 10-15 sec. until it restarts.

    Try this now.
    Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I keep getting a "Not enough storage to back-up my device" message since I upgraded to the new software. Short of purchasing more memory, and deleting some content, are there any other options?

    What are my options for increasing storage capacity besides purchasing more memory, or deleting existing content. The new software install used up much of my storage capacity and the message is driving me crazy. Any ideas?? Thanks!

    There are two kinds of storage messages that appewr on iOS devices. Your question seems at odds with your description so there might be some confusion here.
    If the storage refers to not enough for an icloud back up then you need to purchase more icloud space or turn off iCloud backup. You can backup using iTunes on your computer with paying for additional iCloud storage.
    if the storage refers to that on your iOS device as in there is not enough storage to update, then you have two options and neither option involves adding more storage since the amount of storage on an iOS devoce is fixed. One option is to delete stuff from your device to free up more space. The second option is to complete the update while your devoce is connected to your computer running the latest version of iTunes. When you do that the update is downloaded to your computer and extracted there so it doesn't require as much free space on your iOS device.

  • "not enough storage, go to settings". What am I doing wrong?

    I use an IPad and an IPod touch. I had the message that "not enough storage" was left for me to download new music I've bought. I then purchased the iCloud twelve pound yearly storage plan. However I am still getting the message "not enough storage .... Go to settings". I decided to purchase the next plan, ( twenty eight pounds a year) but still get the same message. I can't download new apps either. What am I doing wrong? I certainly don't have anywhere near that amount if music/photos.
    Hope you can help. Thank you, Janice

    iCloud tells me I have total storage of 15 GB and available 12.9GB.
    Tis means I have a lot of space on I cloud, doesn't it?
    Yes... BUT you Do Not have enough Space on your Device.
    You need to Delete Content from your Device.
    Note:
    iCloud Storage does not increase the Storage Capacity of a Device.

  • If I backup my iPhone in iTunes then "Erase All Content and Settings", will I still be able to restore the iPhone?

    I am asking this because my iPhone 4S is really starting to slow down. And I think is mainly due to the deleted text messages bug (i.e., they are still searchable in spotlight!), therefore not deleted off my phone and slowing it down. There are big delays opening up apps (especially Messages) and now, sometimes,  my phone won't even vibrate when texts come in. I also just want to completely wipe the slate clean and start fresh, but I still would like to save the SMS conversations I already have. So I guess what I am afraid of is wiping my phone then iTunes sees the phone as a completely new phone and not "Drew's iPhone" therefore making a restore impossible. Would this be an issue at all?? Thank you!

    If you restore your phone as new - your text message will be deleted from the phone.
    If you erase all contents and settings and then restore from a backup, your text message will still be there.

  • XML Publisher report ends up with Warning: not enough storage is available

    Hi,
    We have customized the AR Invoice print program (Invoice Print Selected Invoices) and have made converted the Oracle 6i report to XML Publisher.
    We have around 13000 AR invoicesin the system and when i try running the report for around 300 invoices, it works fine. When i try running it for more, It gives a warning and when i try to open the xml file to see if it is fully generated. I found that the XML File is broken in between and gives an error "not enough storage is available to complete this operation.".
    We have around 2 GB space in temp but we are not sure, why this is happening.
    Appreciate your help. Many Thanks in advance.

    Hi Kesava
    Can you check the $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT directory and see if you can see the file and its size? Maybe open it with vi or emacs and goto the last line and see if its complete.
    You might also check the OPP log for this request to see if there is anyting in that log?

  • Thread creation error: Not enough storage is available to process this command

    Two user in my company have this problem, I have already used the solution on the community but would come back after 2 to 3 weeks. They all have the message "Thread creation error: Not enough storage is available to process this command". I tried increase the virtual memory to 4Gb, update one client to the latest, reset IRPStackSize, delete temp folder.  one client is 7.5.XX with windows 7 and another is 6.20.0.104 with Windows XP,My machine is also 6.20 with windows 7 but I dont have this problem.   

    Version previous to 7.6 worked fine. After update I have got this message and mostly of Skype GUI turns black or vanishes. No possibility of making more than one call before crash, It is amazing that a thread started about two weeks ago has no technical answer, at least. What do I do with my credits and my appointments? Throw them away?
