I keep getting the "not enough storage" message on a new i5

How do I delete some things without paying for more storage?
And... what takes up a lot of storage?

Look here: Settings>General>Usage...give it a few seconds to populate.

  • Why do I keep getting a not enough storage message when trying to install GarageBand on my iPhone 4

    I have been trying to re-install GarageBand on my iPhone 4. I have tried downloading from iTunes app store and installing by sync from my MacBook. Neither will work. I keep getting the same "not enough storage" message.

    You may need as much as 2Gb free, at least on a temporary basis while installing the app.

  • I've 4.7 GB free storage left yet I get the "Not enough storage" message

    I still have 4.7 GB of storage left, however I keep on getting the notification that "...there is not enough iCloud storage available.."
    All of these month I've allowed automatic iCloud backup but nothing was really ever backed-up so my contacts on iCloud.com are empty (as in Zero contacts)
    I rebooted and clicked on back-up now, nothing happened, still the contacts are empty
    The only application that was backed-up properly was the "Reminders"
    Backing up my contacts, Notes and Photos had been on for months, I switched off the photos today, but all of these steps never really mattered since I seem to have made a wrong choice in purchasing a iPhone despite my friend's warnings.
    Booo, what's the point of an iPhone if it doesnt back-up anything beneficial?

    No. iCloud will not sync contacts from external services such as Hotmail.  If you want to sync your Hotmail contacts with iCloud you will have to copy them to iCloud, then turn off contact syncing with Hotmail so you don't see duplicate contacts on your phone.  To copy them to iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (if you have any contacts in iCloud they will still be there).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup.  Use this to backup the remaining contacts on your phone from Hotmail as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), and confirm that this is set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your Hotmail account and turn off contacts syncing with Hotmail.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the the Hotmail contacts back to your phone and to iCloud.  You should now see all your contacts on icloud.com.

    Try resetting it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing.  You won't lose any data by doing this.

  • I keep getting a not enough space message.

    I just downloaded creative cloud to my laptop. I keep getting a not enough space message. Want to purchase a desktop in order to have more space. Can I use cc on two separate computers?
    AT first I could not download lightroom or photoshop. I deleted all the pictures in my iPhoto folder and was able to. I only added a few select pictures back to iPhoto. Tried moving them into lightroom (following the tutorial) but message says insufficient space. I'm getting frustrated because I have this awesome thing that I can't use!
    Thanks,
    Annette

    Hey SDGardella,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are receiving error 499 when attempting to download purchases from the iTunes Store. The following resource outlines this error message:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    "Error 499"
    This alert occurs due to security software. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

  • 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.

  • I paid for 55gb storage but keep getting not enough storage message when trying to download a purchased movie

    I Paid for 55gb of storage but keep getting not enough storage message when downloading a movie 

    You paid for iCloud storage. It has no bearing on the capacity of the drive inside your iPad.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Photoshop cs4 bridge,getting not enough storage message.

    I have a computer that the motherboard died a couple of weeks ago. The motherboard and processor have been replaced as well as upgrading the ram from 4 gb to 12. We were able to use the old hard drive with no problems, maybe, just booted it up yesterday and am still working things out. Photoshop cs4 was installed on the computer and it seems to be working fine, except that I'm getting "not enough storage" messages when I try to do things I was able to do before the colapse. One thing I've noticed is that in the 32 bit version of Photoshop preferences it shows around 3 gb of ram available while the 64 bit version shows the full 12gb. Is this typical? and if not why would it be showing up this way?  I'm not sure that has anything to do with the problems with bridge it is a stand alone program now. Anyway, does anyone have any idea what could be the problem with this? Would uninstalling and re-installing the programs help?
    Windows 7 Home Premium  64 bit system
    12 GB RAM
    I'm not sure what else would be needed about the computer, let me know if there is anything else.
    Thanks for any help,
    Linda

    Is the "not enough storage" error message showing up in Bridge or Photoshop? I ask that because it seems to be a Bridge error message and the Bridge forum could better handle that.
    If Photoshop is giving you this message, check your Preferences > Performance and see that the ram allocated is not more than 65-70% of total and look at your scratch disk allocation in that section as well.
    I would also consider resetting Photoshop's preferences. Sometimes that clears up problems, and of course be sure you install the latest CS4 updates.
    I'm assuming you have to use 32 bit Photoshop CS4 (example32 bit third party plugins).  If not use 64 bit CS4 and see if that works.
    I'd heed the upgrade advice as well. After December, CS4 to CS6 upgrade price will increase from $200 to $700.

  • I keep getting a "not enough memory"  comment on my computer.  Where can I look to find out what is taking up the memory while i'm working?

    I keep getting a "not enough memory"  comment on my computer.  Where can I look to find out what is taking up the memory while i'm working?

    Are you referring to the message that says your startup disk is full?  If so, you need to delete some files from the hard drive, or get a larger hard drive.  Moving some files to an external hard drive is a quick and easy solution.  Note that you should avoid the temptation to use various utilities to clean up your system or remove parts (like unused languages).  That will not free up much space and can easily result in damaging your system.
