I need to update my devices but can't because not enough storage. Purchased iCloud and still can't do updates and doesn't seem to work?

I can't do any updates cause I've no storage I bought storage and now I can't do update cause I don't have enough mb?i need an apple genius to sort me out! It's probably something simple and when I look up apples website about iCloud it says I need the latest ios6 but I can't update because it won't let me?!! Advice please?

iCloud doesn't increase the storage capacity on your phone. That is fixed when you purchase it. iCloud only allows you to sync data between devices, so they always have the same data.
If you want to increase the free space on your phone so you can update it, you'll have to sync some of your data off your device to make more room. One option is to import your photos and videos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) and delete them off your phone. You can sync some or all of them back later if you want. Another option is to sync some or all of your music off your phone. You can also sync this back later if you want.

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.

My ipad is completely frozen (cant do anything) stating Not enough storage. It states I can manage my storage in settings, but everything is froze up. What can I do?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again

See if this helps.
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 - let go of the buttons.

I used to be able to have thousands of pictures on my phone and now after my upgrade it keeps saying "not enough storage" is there anything I can do? I don't want to buy more storage

It says I cloud total storage 5.0 GB available 5.0 GB so whats the problem?

iCloud storage is for backups. It is not associated with space on your phone. You cannot buy more space for your phone. Check what you have on your phone and delete what you don't use or seldom use to get more space on your phone.

HT4623 I couldn't download the new software to my ipad or iphone because not enough storage so I paid the $20 for additional storage. The purchase went thru and both phone and ipad are showing 15 GB of storage but I am still getting the message

I couldn't download the new software onto my iPad or iphone because I didn't have enough storage. I paid the $20 for additional storage. Both devices are showing 15 GB of storage but both are still saying that I don't have enough storage available for the new download (3.3 GB req'd) What else can I do?

Delete some apps or stuff off your devices. The 'not enough storage' doesn't refer to iCloud space but space on your device.
If you have a bunch of downloaded music from iTunes, delete it to make room, you can always redownload it after the update. If you have movies, I'd go for them first since video takes up tons more room than audio (delete less movies is the same space as lots of music)
If you have apps you don't use, you can delete those, as long as you don't mind losing any data associated with them.

Daughter mostly plays simple games on iPad mini. Now reached stage where it says can't download not enough storage although showing 14.9 gbs of storage available. How can I overcome this ICloud,dropbox or what ?

Thank you in anticipation.

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

How can I close "Not Enough Storage" title on the screen of IPad?

After backed up the IPad, the screen doesn't close either I can not mark "settings".
I can not either switch off the I Pad

Hi MartaMya!
It seems like you may need to restore the operating system on your iPad. You will first want to verify that the backup completed successfully. We have an article here about backups and where they are stored:
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
Then you can use the following article to help you perform the restore of your operating system:

Question for music producers ! MacBook Pro and my audio interface from Virus Ti doesn't seem to work properly after I updated 10.9.4 Mavericks

Hello
Few days ago I upgraded my Macbook Pro to 10.9.4 Mavericks And I’m using the sound card from the Virus Ti for all audio in/out and when I’m not producing music , I usually close my Logic and I use the Virus Ti as a sound card for listening to Soundcloud or iTunes on my Mac and the audio usually come out of my studio monitors , but right now even when everything is connected , the sounds from the web site is coming out from my Macbook speaker instead of my studio monitors ? and I already checked the “Output/Input” in preference and is already say Access Virus Ti and I already repair disc too ! ,
Right now when I’m using Logic to produced with Virus sound card everything is working fine and the audio is coming out of my monitors but as soon as I turn off Logic to use Youtube or other web site, the audio automatic switch back to laptop speakers ?
If anyone had this problems with their audio interface and OS 10.9.4 , please advise !
Your help is much appreciated : )

HT1430 My Ipad is froze with the message ...Not Enough Storage.... But I can not do anything. It will not reset or anything. What do I do now.

iPad frozen with the message .. Not enough Storage.. This iPad can not be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. You can manage your storage in Settings.
I can not get out of this message to get to my settings.
not able to Shur Down either.

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If that works then you can manage your iCloud storage via Settings > iCloud

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.

The App Store said I needed to switch countries so I clicked the button and it switched it for me but now I can't update my apps but when I try to change it through settings it still says the country is the u.s. I don't know what to do to change it back
