I'm running out of storage on my iPhone 5 16gb?

Here's the thing I have an iPhone 5 16GB phone which is using 13.1gb leaving only 241mb available.
My laptop is out of service so I haven't been able to back up to my laptop for a while, but have iCloud storage of 15GB which I have 11GB available.
Music takes up 4GB
Photos 3.3GB
Lots of apps
I've deleted all my SMS messages
Cleared all my cookies and safari data
I have photos stored on my phone from 2011 which I don't need on my phone but don't want to delete them... Help

Delete some apps (you can download them again later). Download the Dropbox or Box app and open an account. They both give you some space for free. It should be more than enough space to upload your pictures so that you can then delete them from the device.
How much space you have in iCloud isn't really relevant. That's space for back ups. It can't substitute for local storage.

  • Running out if storage!! HELP!!!

    I need HELP! I am running out if storage on my iphone and majority of my storage are photos. I need somewhere I can store my photos to get them off my iphone but still be able to access them off my iphone. If that is possible!?!

    Import the photos to your computer, delete them from your camera roll and sync back those you want on the phone.  You also can store photos on sites like flikr  and DropBox and view them from there.

  • Message: You will run out of storage when your downgrade takes effect

    In my email, I received a message today with the subject
    You will run out of storage when your downgrade takes effect
    I looked in my account and don't see anywhere where I've set it to downgrade. It's still set at the correct level. I checked the credit card to make sure it hadn't expired.
    Any thoughts of what else I could check?
    Here's the email:
    As requested, your iCloud storage will be downgraded to 5 GB on 02/27/2015. However, you are currently using 6 GB.
    Unless you take action before your downgrade takes effect, backups to iCloud will stop, and apps will no longer be able to save documents to iCloud. You can either free up storage or cancel your downgrade to keep your current storage plan for another year.
    To continue using these iCloud features without interruption, you can cancel your downgrade by selecting a different storage plan:
    1.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings and tap iCloud
    2.
    Tap Account.
    3.
    Tap your current plan, then choose from the options presented
    For more information on managing your iCloud storage, please read this Learn how to manage your iCloud storage >.

    Sounds to me like you're not the original owner of the device.
    Did you buy it secondhand? From where?

  • I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

    I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

    You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
    Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

  • Macbook air running out of storage

    I am relatively new to the mac world.  I have a macbook air 128g and am running out of storage space.  I am wondering if I can use icloud as a primary storage for my media files (Photos, music, video, etc).  Then I could potentially remove from hard drive to free up space.  I am concerned if this is possible and what the cons would be.  I am thinking that Itunes library and photos would not be as quickly accesible as it would be using the hard drive.  Please help...

    iCloud can't be used for storage in that way. I believe sugarsync allows you to keep files online without having to have them on your hard drive.
    A slightly fuller explanation here, you can keep files without having them on your hard drive by using SugarSync's 'Web Archive' Storing them in any other SugarSync location will cause them to be synchronized with your computer, a bad thing if you want to delete them from the the local storage.

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

  • I am receiving a notification that says that I am running out of storage space. I backed up time mating to an external hard drive. Can I delete some files to make room?

    I am receiving notifications that I am running out of storage space. I backed up my mac book using an external and time machine. Can I delete some files to make room?
    If so,
    When I want to restore from my time machine, can I pick and choose, say certain songs, photos or documents?

    About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
    Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
    So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
    Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
    Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive. You can also use the Time Machine application to selectively remove files, but that may be ineffective if you have to free up GBs of space.

  • My MacBook Air is running out of storage. Will an external hard drive work for me?

    Good afternoon, Apple support forums! I recently made a BootCamp partition, and now my MacBook Air is running out of storage (about 13 GB left), and I realize that I cannot expand the storage on my Macbook Air without some DIY technical work. I looked into alternatives and came onto external hard drives (I'm looking at the LaCie Porsche Design P'9223 USB 3.0 Mobile Hard Drive - 2 TB, but this question is for external hard drives in general). I was wondering, just in case, if I could use it not for backup (as I already have an Apple AirPort Time Capsule) but as added on storage for my Mac. Also, would I have to keep the external hard drive plugged into my Mac 24/7 to have access to the files stored on it? Thanks in advance for any help!!

    1. Yes, you can.
    2. You only need to have it plugged in when you're accessing data on it.

  • I transferred my 3GS photos onto my enw iphone 5 ust to look at them. Now I am running out of storage. I need to save them to a computer so I can delte them from my phone. How can I do this?

    I transferred my 3GS photos onto my new iphone 5 ust to look at them. Now I am running out of storage. I need to save them to a computer so I can delete them from my phone. How can I do this?

    Hey bizteacher,
    Thanks for the question. Do you still have access to the iPhone 3GS? If so, follow these steps:
    iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
    You could also follow these steps on your new iPhone 5, so long as the pictures are stored in your Camera Roll (as opposed to being synced to your phone).
    Thanks,

  • My iPad keeps showing a message that I have run out of storage space.  I purchased more iCloud space in settings, but this message is still showing.  It also won't sync when I plug in to my computer...??

    My iPad keeps showing a message that I have run out of storage space.  I have purchased more iCloud space in settings, but I am still getting this message.  I also am not able to sync my iPad in iTunes when plugging in to my computer.

    The storage space is the iPad storage space, not iCloud storage space. What size Ipad do you have?
    How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I'm running out of storage

    I have a 16gb iPad Air with IOS8.0.2 and am running out of storage space.  I have deleted everything I can think of,. In settings I see my apps are using only 167mbs, but in iTunes when I did a back up  it shows that the bulk of the storage is being used by "other".  What could that be and how do I clear it?

    I've found that the biggest space grabbers are Photos, Podcasts, Magazines, Music, Movies, TV Shows, and iBooks ... so, I would check those and eliminate what you don't want to keep on your iPad. I've got 20 GB with just two - Photos and Podcasts.
    ALSO go to usage in the settings and see what apps may be way too large to keep on your iPad for how little you may be using them. It's under "Manage Storage" in the middle section of the window, when you get there.
    I've got a 64 GB iPad and I'm still running out of room. I guess I'll have to go for the 128 GB one next time ... :-) ...
