I just bought more icloud storage, why does it not let me backup my iPhone 5..says i need 1.4 GB of space

i just bought more icloud storage, why does it not let me backup my iPhone 5..says i need 1.4 GB of space?..I just bought 10 more in icloud.

I think you are confused. Syncing apps and music to your phone will not get store in the cloud by adding more cloud storage. If you don't have enough space to sync the music and apps, buying cloud storage won't help. If you have a 16GB phone, the phone still only has 16GB for apps and music even if you buy 10 mor GB of cloud storage.

  • I have deleted so many pictures, and I only have about 6 apps but i still don't have storage. Whenever i try to take picture it won't let me because there is no room. I just bought more iCloud storage but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

    I need advice on getting more storage for my iPhone 6. I have just bought more iCloud storage, but it didn't help. I only have about 100 picture and 6 apps. I also recently purchased music and it won't let me download it to my phone because there is no storage. Any suggestions on getting more storage for my iPhone?

    iCloud storage has nothing to do with the memory available on your iPhone.
    Have you tried a reset?

  • HT1766 I just bought more icloud storage from my new iphone but want to back up my old iphone. Is this possible

    Sure, as long as you use the same Apple ID/Password.

  • I bought more iCloud storage but it's not showing up in my phone?someone please help

    I couldn't back my phone up because there wasn't enough space so I bought more storage but it's not showing up on my phone and still not letting me back up? Someone please help

    Did you receive an email confirmation receipt from Apple that your purchase when through?

  • I just bought more icloud storage.  When does it show up and why didn't I get a receipt?

    I was informed that I needed more storage for my ipad mini.  I got rid of extraneous things but decided to purchase some more storage anyway.  I went through all the forms and answered the final "are you sure you want to purchase this" question and I have recieved nothing!  No reciept, no storage...when does it show up?  I am concerned because i put in all my credit card info.

    You've checked all your iPad's homescreens for it, and tried searching for it via the iPad's spotlight search screen ? Does the app have 'open' against it in the Purchased tab in the App Store app ? Have you tried a soft-reset of your iPad to see if you can find the app, or download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app, after the iPad has restarted ?
    To do a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1766 Why won't my phone back up since I just bought additional iCloud storage--it spends hours saying "Backup in progress" and then it just fails?!

    Why won't my phone back up since I just bought additional iCloud storage--- it spends hours showing "Backup in Progress" and then it just fails?!  I have it plugged in next to the computer and I turn it off after hitting Backup but it never completes.... Should I just give up and try to get my money back?

    I'm having the same problem with my iPad (3). It's been saying that my last backup was 10/11/2012. I have tried rebooting (holding down the home and start keys to reset) and then trying to manually do a backup to the cloud. I have tried deleting the iCloud backups for all apps & setting all of them to not be included in the cloud backup (thinking that maybe one of the apps might be hanging the backup up). I have now deleted the last iCloud backup. I guess I will wait & see if it performs its backup overnight or something. As mentioned above, it has consistently been 1) plugged in, 2) connected to a wifi network, and 3) been in lock screen mode. And yet it hasn't been backing up either automatically (iCloud Backup is set to "on") or if I touch 'Back Up Now'.
    Here's something that's really annoying- these posts started last April but I see no sign that anyone from Apple Support has joined this conversation. (!!)

  • Can't backup to iCloud because it's full, bought more iCloud storage but it isn't showing up.

    I just bought a new iphone it's saying that it can't back up to icloud because theres not enough icloud storage. I bought more icloud storage but it isn't showing up. is there a waiting period or did i do something wrong?

    If you just bought a new phone, don't you want to restore from backup to add data from your old phone to the new phone?
    Purchasing more storage is not always the answer.   Understand how iCloud backup works and how to manage what you store.
    Open settings
    iCloud
    Storage and backup
    Manage storage
    Select the device you are using
    Show all apps
    Now you can see what is backed up, and what is using the most storage in iCloud.  Photo and video are usually on top.
    ICloud does not backup the Apps, just the data in the App, if backed up to iCloud.   Turn off any app you don't need to have backed up. 
    Consider removing photo and video to Dropbox or Box for IOS, these are free, online storage apps which can be used on any device to move and store your pictures, video and documents. 

  • HT4910 I just bought extra icloud storage,I don't know how do I get it

    just bought extra icloud storage,I don't know how do I get it

    Um... How can I use it to extend the range of my AirMac Extreme?
    Follow the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.
    Follow the directions in "Designing AirPort Networks" (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/DesigningAirPortNetworks.pdf). The same directions apply for the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) and AirPort Express (AX).
    And how can I just use it to make my printer go Wi-Fi?
    In either of the above 2 configurations, simply connect the USB printer to the AX's USB port.

    I just purchased more storage for my phone because I needed a software update and it said I couldn't do it until I purchased more cloud storage, so I did. Now nothing is showing up and still cannot update my software? Does it take time to show up?

    Sometimes it does.  However, adding more iCloud storage doesn't give you any more space on your phone if that's what you're trying to do.  To create more space on your phone, you have to delete of sync something off of it.  You could, for example, you could delete all your music, then perform the update, then sync your music back to your phone using iTunes.

  • Why does apple not let me reauthorise all pcs i recently purchased a macbook pro and i cannot transfer my iPhone purchases onto my mac

    it says i have authorised 5 computers i have not authorised 5 computers and its not letting my deauthorise all computers it says october 2012... cant wait that long could you people plz tell me how to sort this matter out

    If you "deauthorized all" last October then you cannot do it again for another 12 months.
    Since you just purchased a MBP you may be eligible for free support from AppleCare. If anyone can authorize another "deathorize all" it would be AppleCare so call them.

  • I can't back up phone or update. Says because of storage. Bought more iCloud storage and its not show up?

    I am unable to update or backup my phone. Says because of storage. I bought more storage and its not showing up. But iCloud hasn't been used at all previously. Why not?

    Is the lack of storage space on your iphone or in icloud?
    Icloud storage has nothing to do with the storage on your iphone.
