I tried to upgrade my TomTom all on my iPhone 4S and it said 'not enough space' - go to settings. In settings it shows there's plenty of space. What next?
I have tried to upgrade my TomTom app on my iPhone 4S and it failed saying 'Not enough spare space - manage your space in settings.' When I looked in Settings it shows there's plenty of spare space. The bloke at the Apple Store was baffled..... and said I needed an appt. at Apple. "Go and join the queue." When I got to the front of the queue another bloke said "There are no appointments available. You have to book one over there online...". When I went over there and tried to book one, it said "you can't book an appt until you've spoken to the Help Dept." And gave me a number. I phoned the help line and a machine said "We're all busy."
Any ideas?
Hi, When you download, a big app udate like Tom Tom The other Tom Tom maps will be still on iphone until new update is complete That i why you need a lot of space until old updates Delete. So you will need to delete Apps & photos to make space. How much Gig has your iphone 4 s got? Cheers Brian

All media on iPhone gone and iTunes does not remember my phone
Reposting from the iPhone board:
iTunes thinks my iPhone 4s is a new phone and is asking me to set it up again when in actuality it has been synced with iTunes since the 14th. Moreover, all the music, podcasts, and video have disappeared from the phone. I am running OS X 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.5.
I recently set up a second iTunes library, and switched back to my original using the click+option method.
Other than that, I can't think of anything that has changed.
Has anyone else seen this?
Is there a work around?UPDATE: So I ended up restoring the phone and starting over as if it were new... by that I mean I did not restore from a saved file.
IT DID IT AGAIN!!! This past friday, I went to sync the phone, and it happened again.
iTunes thinks it is a new phone and wants me to set it up again!!!!
For some reason I have no option to restore from a saved image this time either.
Is this a defective phone?
Are other people running Snow Lepoard having issues?
So I removed and reinstalled the Apple Mobile Device Service and reinstalled iTunes in a rueful atempt to make it better.
I can't have this happen again... I lost a lot of data - not to mention the time it takes to set up all the app's, folders and settings...

HELP: Trying to return TM backups to the original external HD but unable. "Not enough space" error.
**** I posted this in the wrong OS section, so I have reposted it in the Mountain Lion section. Sorry for the mix-up. Here is the original post. Thanks for looking. ****
Hi everyone,
I really hope you can help. I've spent a good 3 days with this issue, including speaking with WD directly and Apple support. But, no solution.
I have a MacBook Pro with the newest version of Mountain Lion.
I recently realized that my backups were taking way too long and that the partition that I had created on my external hard drive was too small. The external hard drive is 500GB in size and the partition was 160GB for Time Machine backups.
I decided to copy my backups to my Mac Mini then reformat my external hard drive using Disk Utility so I would have only one single partition of 500GB. I created a folder in the Mini called "Nubee Mac" then another folder within that called "Backup" and dropped the "Backups.backupdb" of Time Machine inside there. At the time, the Mini had Snow Leopard on it. I have since upgraded to Mountain Lion on the Mini, hoping the issue would be solved. I erased the external WD 500GB drive, repartitioned several times, etc.
The issue occurs when I try to place my backups back into the external hard drive that I reformatted. I open the "Nubee Mac" folder then the "Backup" folder then drag/drop the "backups.backupdb" into the freshly reformatted WD external drive. The items start copying (like 3.8 million) and towards the end of the transfer, I get the following message:
The item “Backups.backupdb” can’t be copied because there isn’t enough free space.
I tried several times, and keep getting the same error message. I used the Mac terminal to determine the size of my "backup.backupdb" folder which is 139GB. So there should be plenty of room on the WD external.
Why is this happening ? Can someone help me please ? I've read Pondini's Time Machine help website, but was unable to find a clear solution. I tried some of the simple things suggested like "repair" and"verify" and there are no problems. Also tried with GUID and Apple partition seperately. "Ignore permissions" is checked, etc ... Yet, I still can't re-transfer my backups to the external hard drive. I would really like to keep these backups ... you never know which file I may need one day.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone !First, start by opening up Terminal.
Navigate to the Backups.backupdb folder: Type "cd " and drag and drop the folder onto the terminal window. Hit enter.
Type the following command: "sudo du -sch" and hit enter. Enter your admin password.
Wait for du to finish counting. It will prompt the actual size of the folder in GB, not counting hard links.
Get info on "Backups.backupdb" through Finder and compair the results. If the two sizes match, then you've lost the hard links during the first copy. -

Trying to upgrade iPad software to newest version. It downloads but stops while backing up and says not enough space on hard drive to back up if i continue all media on iPad will be lostor deleted. Can I get it back after upgrade by just synching or can I set it to backup to an external drive? Thanks for any help. I only use the laptop for itunes now as it has such little space left.
I would recommend deleting contents off your hard-drive to make space (how much is left..you should be having 15% free as a general practice) and backing up the phone prior to upgrading.

I have updated up my ipad2 which had the original version on it (4.??) to the latest version of IOS. Before I did this I backed up the ipad to my laptop so I wouldnt lose precious pics and videos of my baby boy. Now that the latest version is on the ipad it is now asking me if I want to start as a new ipad or restore my backup from itunes. So i select restore my backup from itunes and connect to itunes but it now says there is not enough space to do so. I have a feeling it is because there are alot of pics on our ipad which i presume are all in this backup, many of which we do not need on the ipad anymore but I have no idea on how I go about deleting these pics?? And how do I find where on my laptop this backup is and most importantly the video and pics of my baby boy.
Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password. -
I am trying to update my apps on my 4s but says there is not enough space. It shows i have 19.3 GB of 25 GB. Also, in my itunes...it shows about a quarter of space on the bar is photos but I took all the photos out. Don't make sense.
It's telling you there's not enough space *on your 4S*. The 25GB you refer to is probably that on iCloud, that's different memory than that on your iPhone. You need to delete video, pictures, apps, or whatever ON THE IPHONE, to make enough room for downloading updates to your apps.

Tried to upgrade to osx 10.9 from 10.7 and I didn't notice that it downloads in the launcher. I turned my mac off and ever since then it has glitched out and will not download no matter what I do. I have had it for 3 years which is out of warranty. It now has a blank bar under the launch pad and no matter how many times I try re-downloading it or restarting my computer it does not work. I use too play starcraft and other games on this computer although new patched/updates have made it that I can no longer do that now. Really frustrating having to deal with this especially after buying this computer upfront and now out of warranty.
Go to your Applications folder and find a file called "Install OS X Mavericks". Send it to the trash and delete it. Then try the download again.

I have a new iPhone 4 which I cannot sync until I upgrade to the latest version of iTunes software (version 10.2.2). Upon trying to upgrade, I keep receiving a message which states, "The URL could not be opened." Anyone else had the same problem & does anyone have a solution? Would like to try other easier option(s) before uninstalling & installing newest version.
You need to buy and install a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

I just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 3gs and I noticed on a couple of incoming emails that the images and information are not being displayed. There is a blue square box with a blue question mark inside. I already tried to press the home key and power key to restart. The email still does not display correctly. I went on my laptop to retrieve that same email and I was able to see the graphics and information, so the problem is on the iphone. I received two emails like this, so I'm missing all the important information. I also tried to retrieve my email through the internet browser and I still have the same problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I forgot to mention that I have an Ipad 2 also and I can view the email information on there also. I received an email from Party city and it said to click here to print out the coupon. So I click the coupon and there is the little blue box with the question mark. This is the first time I've seen this happen, as I have printed out the coupons before. Maybe it has to do with the IOS6 update, because this just started to happen right after the update.

Trying to update phone and keeps saying not enough storage how do i fix it
I have deleted almost every picture off my phone cause it kept telling me not enough storage. I am trying to update, but it won't let me . It keeps saying not enough storage.... How do I fix this cause it should have plenty now !
Settings/General/About/Available will tell you how much free storage you have. From memory you need at least 1.4 GB or so to update to iOS 7 over WiFi (I strongly suggest you have more than that, 2-3 GB is safer for the iOS 7 upgrade).
If you have problems freeing up enough space on your phone then update it via iTunes instead, that's both more likely to work without issues and doesn't require all that free space on the phone to start with.

I just purchased a new iphone 4S and I'm trying to loan some music from itunes. I keep getting a message that says not enough space on my phone. I checked my phone and I have 5.1G available. I deselected all the songs on my itunes to try and get it to sync and I keep getting the same message. Any tips?
Hey csumner1,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a "Not enough free space" alert when attempting to sync your new iPhone 4s. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
iOS: "Not enough free space" alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
Resolution
Try disconnecting and reconnecting your device, then syncing again to solve this issue.
Orphaned files may remain on your iOS device if it is physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, the Capacity indicator in iTunes may report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device. To resolve this issue:
1. Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
2. Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
3. Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
4. Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
- If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 5.
5. Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device. To do this:
- Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
- Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
- Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
- Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes.
If the 'Not enough free space' alert appears, continue to step 6.
6. Restore using iTunes.
Thanks,
Matt M.
