ICloud exceeded storage limit - but I haven't.

I have searched everywhere to find a discussion on this, but haven't yet.
I've received the email telling me I've exceeded my iCloud storage and that my emails will be debilitated until I delete messages.
I have only used half of my allocated 25gb, however.
I thought there used to be a way to allocate how much goes to mail, how much goes elsewhere, but I'm no longer seeing that option. Am I missing something here? Is only so much allowed for email to begin with?
Please help.
Thanks.

Thank you. I delete a bulk of unused emails everyday and have far less than most people I know in my business, and have nothing else but my contacts synced with iCloud. I contacted Apple Support by phone and they are unable to figure out why I received the email either. They said there is no allotted amount for Mail only and verified that half my storage is still available.
Interestingly, my boyfriend has been receiving this same email for the last month or so even though he has plenty of storage available as well. I sincerely hope it is not a numbers game on Apple's part, thinking that a certain number of people will just panic and upgrade their storage without doing the research.
Thanks for the response.

Says my email has exceeded its limit, but I haven't sent out 500 emails in one day. I only sent out 4 groups of about 20.

Keeps bouncing my emails out of outlook and when I use firefox directly out of gmail, it says I have exceeded my limit of 500 per day. Which I have not sent out that many today.

That's actually a message from Google, not Firefox. Doing a search for "500 emails exceeded limit" brings up http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=1c5a1c902b7037e9&hl=en which suggests that your account may have been compromised.
You need to talk to Google about it. Good luck!

Error 4.7.1 message exceeds size limit, but it doesnt

I am receiving this error every time I try to send a message.
The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds a temporary size limit of the server. The message was not sent; try to reduce the message size or wait some time and try again. The server responded: 4.7.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: [email protected] exceeded daily recipients threshold . See http://postmaster.frontiernet.net.
This happened randomly and without provocation. I have talked to my mail provider and they are telling me that it is an internal error. They have checked my connection settings and everything is set up properly. The messages i am sending are just test messages with one word in them.

Did your provider also tell you that mime encoded attachments are about 30% larger than the original file size of the attachment. So a 4Mb attachment would exceed a 5Mb limit.

Customer Has Exceeded Credit Limit Question

Hi
At the moment when we raise an order for a customer with a credit limit it appears a warning message saying that the customer has exceeded his credit limit.
This information is a bit misleading if the customer has yes exceeded his limit but only because the outstanding invoices are not due yet ie the Due Date may be 31st May 2010.
Is there a way to combine the two information and inform the SAP user when the payments terms for invoices have been exceeded, not just the credit limit?
Thank you.

Hi Matthew ,
Both the thing are different :
1. Credit Limit is only for the Alert or you can block the further transaction .
2. Next you are talking about the Aging report for the outstanding payments .
So both having different aspects , you can not directly combine the both. But if you want then you can use some reporting tools .
Thanks

Activiation limit but not actually reached limit yet!

i have just recently bought another computer becaus emy other one has crashed. But when i had put photoshop elements 9 on my new one everything is fine but just now it has said that i have reached my activation limit which is 2 laptops but there is only photoshop on two laptops???? i am unable to go on tomy old laptop..PLEASE HELP ME

Because your old computer crashed, it is still registered as having PS on it. you need to call Adobe to reset how many copies you have in use.
I believe this is one of the bennifits of being on the cloud. If your computer crashes, PS will tell you that you have exceeded your limit, but will then allow you to signoff on other computers. Unfortunately, this doesn't work with perpetual licenses.

HT204264 "If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices." Really? Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" mode

"If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, photos and videos won't upload to iCloud, and your library will no longer stay up to date across your devices." Really? Can't we support the existing "last 1k photos will be available in the cloud" model? If we don't do this, won't this kill auto-sync of new photos from iOS devices to our libraries on our Macs (if the Mac's Photos app has auto syncing with the cloud turned on) once we go over our 5gb limit? I have 350GB of photos in my Mac Photos library - I am not going to pay $20/month for 1tb iCloud storage. Please advise, Apple. Thank you.

I agree and am baffled by this also. At first I was really excite about this new feature. Mostly because I would be able to seamlessly sync videos along with my PhotoStream. I just assumed there would be some systematic way to handle large libraries. Like removing older files as the current PhotoStream does. However, it appears that this new feature will simply 'shut down' when you reach your storage limit. This just makes no sense to me. I would have to double check, but I have all my photos and videos in iPhoto and stored on a 3 TB external hard drive and I think the full library is over 1 TB. So, even if I was willing to pay $20 a month for photo syncing (which I am not) I couldn't do it because my library is too large. Again I am just baffled why Apple cannot blend this new service with the existing PhotoSteam model. My favorite aspect of PhotoSteam is that is uploads all my iPad and iPhone Photos to my Mac for permanent storage and it seems this is lost in the new version.

I have nearly exceeded my storage limit simply by activating iCloud. What data on an iOS device counts toward the storage limit?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your phone will tell you. Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > manage Storage.

TS3899 I get the following message when I try to send email from my IPAD, "a copy has been placed in your outbox, " it tells me I have exceeded my storage limit. How can I rectify this. The account works fine on the IMAC just not on the IPAD?

When I try to send an email from my iCloud account on my IPAD I get the message that a copy has been saved to outbox as my storage limit has been reached. It works fine on the main computer but not on the ipad. How can I mend this?

I have just encountered exactly the same issue for the last 24 hrs - mail goes to outbox from iPad yet send OK from icloud account on my powerbook. Tried resetting the push email settings on the iPad but no chnage.

I cannot backup because no more storage is displayed when the storage statistics shows Total Storage 5GB and Available Storage 5GB - basically i haven't used any memory but i cannot backup! please help

i cannot backup my iphone4s because no more storage is displayed when the storage statistics shows Total Storage 5GB and Available Storage 5GB - basically i haven't used any memory but i cannot backup! please help. i am only trying to back up my notes and contacts. that's it. and i don't think it will use up 5GB

On your iPhone, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage. There you should be able to see how much of your used storage is allocated to different things (ex., iphone backup, ipad backup, mail). From there you should be able to figure out what is going on.

So I bought an iphone 4 from ebay and when I got it it was already signed into an icloud account. When I contacted the seller he said he would try to get the password but i haven't heard from him. How can I sign out of her icloud w/out the password

I update my iCloud storage today but I paid with my wife's credit card and now anytime that I sended an email appears the name of her instead of mine to all my contacts ??? how can I change and put my name in my emails ??

hi please I need help , I paid with my wifes credit card the upgrade in my icloud storage today but now any time I send an email appears ....from: my wifes name instead of my name ....how can I change this ,thank you

You might want to make sure your credit card is listed in the billing information associated with your Apple ID (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918).
Also, to change the From name that appears when you address emails on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

I used the iTunes match workaround and now want to start over, but I am being told I have exceeded the limit even though I completely cleared the match cloud, mindful of the 1000-delete-at-a-time limit....what should I do?

I have over 25k songs in iTunes. I originally tried the "create a second library" solution. I reduced to less than 25k songs and successfully ran iTunes match. Then I discovered the limitations of the second library solution regarding adding more music, managing playlists, and turning back on my main library and being greeted with all sorts of problems.
So, I created a blank library, ran iTunes match, and its showed me all of my files in the cloud that had been matched or uploaded. I deleted all of the files, mindful of the 1000 file limit per delete. I have confirmed I have now deleted them all. An iTunes match update says I have no files in the cloud. Perfect.
I reduced my library again, this time using the superior method of just changing the files I do not want to match to voice memos. That is done. I have less than 25 k songs.
I waited 2 days and ran match again. Yikes. It did not let me match or upload anything, and every music files's cloud status just says "exceeded limit," despite the fact that my cloud is devoid of music and I have no access to any music via match.
I am in a limbo where I have nothing in the cloud from match, but I can't add anything because match says I exceeded my limit.
I emailed customer support, and got back a useless email linking me to a very general article about iTunes match. I called customer service and they said this was something the iTunes store people would need to address, and they can only be contacted by email. Sigh . . . .
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Have you confirmed that you successfull purged iTunes Match by also looking on an iOS device? If so, keep in mind that Apple's servers may be experiencing a heavy load right now. They just added about 19 countries to the service and I've read a few accounts this morning that suggests all's not running perfectly right now.

HT4859 I have the error message "Not enough storage. Cannot backup, not enough backup space in ICloud . . . ", but now the "close" and "settings" buttons don't respond and I cant get the IPad to open so I can go change settings. What do I do?

For a "hard" restart of your iPad just press the home and power button at the same time and hold it for at least 10-15 sec. until it restarts.

HT4914 Does the music upload limit of 25 000 songs to iCloud is aside of the 6gig limit offered by iCloud for stocking/saving data or is it the same? Will I have to pay for an storage limit update for iCloud because I take iTunes Match?

And will I have to pay for an update storage limit for iCloud because I take iTunes Match?

No, your iCloud storage is seperate. I have 42GB of music in my itunes match account and I still have almost all of the 5GB of storage space free. You only have to pay for itunes match once and as long as you don't have more than 25,000 songs in your itunes, you are good to go.

I got a message saying this ipad cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available but when i try to close it it didnt gone looks like it got hang

i got a message saying this ipad cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available but when i try to close it it didnt close its looks like get hang up

Try this now.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

ICloud exceeded storage limit - but I haven't.
