I keep getting messages that my storage is full and I should go to settings to fix it. I do not have alot of music or photos on the phone how can I find out wha tth problem is?

My phone is giving me messages that I have no more storage although it should have 16GB capacity. I have a modest amount of music and 40 photos. How can I find out where all the storage has gone to?

i think its in general settings and storage. this will list your apps and how much room everything is taking.  do you have a lot of apps downloaded?

  • After I exit Firefox, I keep getting messages that Firefox is still running and I have restart my computer. How can I avoid this from happening?

    This happens when I close the internet browser. When i want to go back on, nearly every time, I get the message that firefox is till running, close or restart the computer. Since i have closed it, I continuously have to restart my computer (or switch over to Chrome)

    Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

  • I keep getting notifications that my storage is full. how do I fix this problem?

    When I check the usage it's says I have 5.0 GBs available. Why can't I download anything?

    Which storage are you looking at.
    There is the physical storage on your iPad, then the 5 GB of storage in the cloud for backups.
    If the problem is iPad storage, you should look at:
    General
    Usage
    Storage >
                This list is how much space is being used by your applications.
    ICloud >  
                 This is your backup storage, which you can also view by tapping
    Manage storage
    Show all apps
    Now you know what is using space, you can transfer photo and video to computer, delete unused apps, delete the data in apps you don't need to save.

  • How can I find out what is eating up my data?

    This is my second month with Verizon and with my old service plan we only use to use 5GB per month.  Now we are over 7GB.  How can I find out what I am using that is eating up my data?  I still do same things I did 3 months ago.

    I Assume you may have more than one, new device.  You can check in each devices settings, under cellular/mobile data to see which applications are using the most data. 
    YOu can then change many of the applications to use wifi only by turning cellular data off.
    email and social media apps have settings within the apps to restrict cellular use, like not showing video of images.
    restrict application from running in the background by closing apps before leaving home wifi or letting your phone "sleep" at home, while not connected to power.  (To save battery your phone switches off wifi, reverting to cellular, not a desirable feature, but it is supposed to save battery)
    ** to close apps, double click home button and swipe up to close app.  Leaving YouTube, Games, Maps, Social media apps open in the background can use mobile data.
    clear the "outbox" in email.  Cases of massive data use have occurred when an email continues to fail and sits in the out box of the Mail app.
    IN General, a newer phone does use more data for the same functions as older phones.
    FFor more help with your iPhone, please visit Apple support, community forums or a Genius Bar.  I find them very helpful.
    if you do go in to Genius Bar, back up your device.  In some cases, replacing or a complete restor are the only solutions.

    GOod luck!

  • Got scammed. Iphone4 instead of 4s. Was in a 4s box looked brand new. I knew nothing about the diff between them. The imei number on the box is diff to the phone. Can I find the owner of the box cause imei is on box

    My 12 year old son wanted a 4s so the I said to him you have to earn it. My poor baby worked everyday after school for one month around the house doing odd jobs. As promised after the month I said to him lets go buy one. He said he found one on gum tree. It was $650. So I rang this guy and he told me I could meet him on his break at worked at the shopping centre. So I went and met him.  He Had a box with iPhone 4s on it and opened it and it llooked brand new as advertised. I know nothing about iPhones or the difference. So I gave him the $650. When my son gets home from school he opens it and tells me its an iPhone 4 not the 4s. My question is. The imei on the box must be linked to someone as its different to the phone. Can I find out who bought the 4s box....so I can kick the living %#*£ out of him. Thanks.

    Thanks for the replies. I have checked the serial number of the 4s box. It's says sorry it's a replacement phone. His mobile number has been disconnected. I found out it was a Vodafone number. The girl at Vodafone told me it was a Vodafone number. I could only get the suburb of where he lived out of her. It's right next to the shop I met him at. I have checked the maps and there is only two roads that lead to the shop. So it's stakeout time. He had a blue Vespa scooter. I know it's only two hundred dollars but I will catch the little runt. And it might take time but the look on his face when I tap him on the shoulder......priceless!!!

  • Is there a problem with iPhone update server, I can't seem to update my IOS on my wife's 3GS iPhone, keep getting message that the server is not reachable, yet I am connected to internet and had no problem syncing the phone or downloading iTunes software

    What's up with the iPhone update server. I have repeatedly tried in recent days to update the IOS software on my wife's 3GS iPhone but keep getting message that the iPhone update server cannot be contacted. The phone syncs normally and I am sure I am connected to the internet properly. Also I have successfully updated ITunes software during this same time frame.  What gives??

    Try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694 and look at this section.
    Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com
    Error 1004, 1013, 1638, 3194: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors: 
    Install the latest version of iTunes.
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to a default hosts file. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
    If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

  • Games won't open, keep getting message that it can't connect to Games Center even when opened thru same; reset and reboot not help; any suggestions?

    I keep getting messages that the games cannot connect to the game center.  Even when I try to open using the "play" incon in the Game Center, I get the same message.  The message refuses to do anything when I press either "cancel" or "retry,", it just sits there and the game won't open when it appears.
    I have tried resetting the IPad, turning it off/on; re-syncing, etc., and nothing seems to work.   Can any one suggest a way to get the stupid Game Center message to close or some other method to open the game?
    Thanks.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    That would be problem number 1.  The device MUST be connected to the Internet to download software updates.
    I am guessing you are trying to download an iOS update, common causes for the error you mentions are Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the computer preventing files from downloading.
    If this doesn't address your issue, try rewording your issue so that we can better understand the problem you are having.

    When I go into itunes to sync my computer with my iphone I keep getting message that I must download itunes 10.5, so how come I keep downloading it, but it keeps giving me this message and I can't sync?

    What version of iTunes are you currently running? To check, in iTunes go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. For example, I see:
    iTunes: 10.5.2.11

  • All of a sudden I keep getting message that my computer must be restarted and it freezes. I restart it and within minutes it happens again. This is a 27 inch iMac with latest system and software

    All of a sudden I keep getting message that my computer must be restarted and it freezes. I restart it and within minutes it happens again. This is a 27 inch iMac with latest system and software. Any ideas of what is wrong and how to fix it?

    10.7.5 is not the latest system, 10.8.3 is. However your message sounds like  a Kernel Panic, does the message look similar to About "You need to restart your computer" (kernel panic) messages? If so, then if you can get the machine to restart normally then please post the Kernel Panic Report which you can find by following directions in How to log a kernel panic. Please post back with the KP log, and we can take a look. However if the machine continues to not restart then my guess is a hardware failure suck as a hard disk or failed RAM in which case you should take it into your local Apple Store or AASP for repair.
