Icloud not really much Space

Hi i dont know if you guys have the same problem but i believe Apple must to fix this.
Today i have 1 Iphone 4, 1 Iphone 4gs, 1 Ipad, and 2 Mac Book Air.
if i create one account per Each Device i will have 5 GB Icloud per Device, but if i use the same account i just have 5 Gb for all the Device.
why Apple not help us to have a lot of devices adding the Space per Device and not per USER.
all the devices i use because i need to travel a lot, and for that reason i have different Chips for the Iphones. (in different countries ) and its really hard to use with the Same Space.
can some one know if i can have more space without pay?

Nope. Right now, that's how it works...5GB per account, not per device. If you would like to see this changed, you can give this feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

I have over 3,000 photos/videos from 4S iphone and need to get them to my new, "my passport studio(1Tb)" but no iphoto on passport... not that much space on mac book too... is there an easier way

I take lots of photos/videos of my kids and my iphone is hooked up to my macbook-pro and then new-my passport (1Tb) and having problems on transfering them to external hard drive (my passport). "My passport" does not have iphoto so I can't use it as a start up hard drive to my computer... I can't download on computer because it says it is full...
any suggestions,
thxs,

Move the Library to the Passport?
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Genius Bar not really much help... can you????

My mate just crossed over to Mac's from PC's. He bought a refurbished MacBook Pro from Apple Store running Leopard and he's having nothing but problems.
The main two are that on booting up a warning pops up that there is a disc inserted which can not be read and a red exclamation mark....but there's nothing in the drive. This warning pops up now and again through normal use also.
The second main problem (which I believe is more common), is that the airport connection disconnects after approx. 3 minutes and then reconnects a few minutes later. Does this continually. Very frustrating.
He's been in to to see a Genius twice and they claim it's a software issue and that the software side is his problem and they will only deal with hardware issues (is this correct?).
So they suggested a clean install which I did for him, completely erasing and partitioning the drive through disc utility giving a completely fresh OS...... but the problems still occur.
He's taking it back to the Genius, but I appreciate any ideas of what it could be. Is it just a lemon?
Cheers

who ever the person working the genius bar was is definitely not one.
sounds like some one who was lazy or just didn't want to be working.
after a clean install it wont be a software issue more than likely. did you download all the software updates?
best way to go about this would be to call apple and get a case number and then go into the store with it so they cannot argue easily if they were telling you they couldnt do anything

How to find out how much space apps are taking

i don't know when this happened but i'm using about 85gb of my 250gb hard drive, when it used to be around 50gb. so i was wondering why when i look at itunes music it shows how much space it's taking the bottom, but if i go to the app section of itunes it only shows '198 apps', but not how much space it's taking? do the apps that i have in itunes take up space on my hard drive and how do i find out how much? also i see in finder that i have some previous itunes libraries, is it safe to delete these, some are from 2008. thanks for any help.

No. It does not do that.
Just about anything from your Home directory where your files are kept can be deleted or moved.
Outside of the Home directory you have to be careful since you don't want to destroy your system.
If you have large folders or files outside of your Home directory, please ask first before moving or deleting.

Know how to automatically sync iCloud notes on Outlook for Mac 2011?

Hi People,
I've decided to use Outlook for Mac 2011 instead of Apple Mail. Does anyone know how I can setup Outlook notes to sync automatically with my iCloud Notes?
Much appreciated
Kind regards
Doug

You can't.
Outlook for Mac is not compatible with iCloud except for email. See Microsoft's statement here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2648915
Until Microsoft decides to start supporting the industry standard protocols iCloud uses, Outlook for Mac is useless.

The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk.

The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk
I was hoping my files would stay in the cloud and not take up a ton of space on my machine (only a 128gb SSD). But while performing an overnight time machine backup I came back to find a "Startup Disk Full" error message. I only have about 20gb used locally but over 200gb in iCloud Drive at the moment.
Is there a way to clear the cache so my files stay on iCloud and not hogging space on my SSD? Or a way to redirect this library to my 2nd hard drive?
I'm using a 15" mid-2012 Macbook Pro with a 1TB hard drive and I've replaced the optical drive with a 128gb SSD for my OS (which is where my library is, hence the difficulty).
Thank you!

While puttering around after posting this I think I found my personal solution here: http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesprojects/qt/Move-Your-Home-Folder-To-A-New-Loc ation.htm
I'm just going to move my home folder to my 2nd internal 1TB hard drive to solve my problem.
But my question remains, how can we minimize the amount of local space iCloud Drive ***** up? I wanted to get the rumored new macbook air that might come out next year but this is a big turn off if iCloud drive is going to overwhelm the SSD in the AIr.

I'm trying to install iOS 5.0 but getting message that my computer does not have sufficient space to backup my iPad; continuing will result in loss of all media on iPad. I was going to install iCloud but it seems that you have to have iOS 5.0, help?

how do i install iOS 5.0 without losing anything on my iPad?

If you really do not have enough space on your HDD for a backup of your iPad, you do not have enough space at all. Free up at least 15% of your HDD, in any case more than 0.8GB for the iPad update.
Make backups on an external disk.
After freeing up enough space, try again.

Update to 7.1.2 but no space? Update says it's 22.2 MB, but tells me that. Need 1.0 GB of space? I have 613 MB free, why won't it update? I don't want to delete that much. Maybe the entire IOS 7 needs that much space, not just the update?

Why does copy and paste not work here? I'll type again:
update to 7.1.1 says it's 22.2 MB. Why does it require 1.0 GB to install? I have just 613 MB free.

With so little Available storage space, you are risking poor operation of the iPad. You should free up more space.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
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 5/6/7, 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.

How do find out how much space I have in iCloud? How do I see what I have there? How do I see how much a pay for it?

It is probably easy but ...
(1) If I want to see my account, how much do I pay each year, how much space do I have for storage what link do I use ... everything goes to support and explanations ...
(2) How do I access iCloud Storage? What if I need more?
(3) What is the difference between iWork and iCloud
(4) I am worry about security with everything moving to iCloud ...
How can I control the security of my contacts, back up space, etc.

Go to System Preferences>iCloud - there is an indicator at the bottom of the pane showing how much of your storage you are using.
The basic account of 5GB is free. Additional storage for Backup, Documents etc: additional 10GB, $20 p.a., 20 GB, $40 p.a., 50GB $100 p.a. (note that this is not iDisk-type storage for any type of file).
iWork is a set of three programs available in Mac and iOS versions - Pages, Numbers and Keynote. iwork.com was an online storage for posting iWork documents - it's closed and its functions superceded by iCloud.
Your iCloud account is as secure as your password, so make sure it's a strong one - at least 8 characters (12 is better), one of which must be lower case, one upper case and one a numeral (no odd characters), and not your birthday, dog's name, or 'password'!

How do i see what photos are stored in my icloud. I cannot do this without installing 8.0 or above which i cannot do as i do not have enough space on my iphone. I do not want to delete the pics to make enough room to install 8.0 without checking

Good day AMELIASARAH,
One resolution to your issue would be to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer rather than over the air. This requires much less space on the iPhone as most of the work is done by the computer. See this article for how to do it -
If you need more space for an iOS update - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

ICloud Photo Library taking up too much space

I am using iCloud Photo library, and noticed that it was taking up too much of my iCloud memory. I have 4 photos and no videos, and that uses around 300 MB of storage. What can I do to change this? Is this a bug?

If I upload my entire Photo Library to iCloud Drive, then delete photos from my Library (on my computer), can I still access those deleted photos on my iCloud Drive?
An iPhoto library will not work properly on iCloud Drive. It will be corrupted by the syncing. An iPhoto Library needs to be on a locally connected volume or on your system drive. Move your iPhoto Library to a small portable drive as described here: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library
A second problem is, that you cannot save space on your computer by uploading to iCloud Drive, because iCloud will keep local shadow copies of all items in your user library. Moving files to include Drive will not save any space at all. (iCloud Drive FAQ)

ICloud Photos on my iPad uses too much space

I updated to iOS 8.3 and enabled iCloud Photo on all my devices and have it enabled on my iMac with the latest OSX Yosemite. Since then, the Photos app on my iPad is taking far too much space even though I have enabled the optimize storage feature on the iPad. Is there away to reduce the number of Photos available on my iPad without turning off the iCloud Photo feature? Is it possible to view only a subset of all my photos or is it all or none with iCloud?

I had the same thought that it would be nice if I could specify a subset of the photos on my Mac to be included in iCloud Photo Library. There isn't an option and the only work around I have found would be to have to Photos libraries on my Mac -- one with iCloud on and the other with it off. Not an easy solution.

I just ordered a macbook air today and need to know if the 128gb SSD is enough space. I presently have a macbook pro and am using only 30gb hard drive space so, the apple rep said 128 is enough as I do not load much pictures or gaming etc. Also is i5 ok.

Id choose the I5 yes, depends on what your usage is going to be,
....your question about "128 gig being enough" begs the question for IDEALIZED USE of your macbook AIr
In the case of a Macbook Air with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
*Generally, unless you NEED the data at least once every few weeks or once a month,...it really does'nt NEED to be on the SSD of your Macbook Air.
Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their computers internal HD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your macbook has a HD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your computer to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
Ive got more APPS than any human should have on my 128gig AIR,..(50 or so),....and 10gig of working data, important files etc etc.
Still have 82gig available....... the entire point is that someone shouldnt consider the Air a "storage device" for tons of pics, music, vids, etc.
*Never consider any computer a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device. Anyone who thinks data is safe on any computer, even copied upon multiple partitions is making a mistake that will, without fail, strike.
For needs of packing around a LOT of "big data" with your Air in its case..., get a nice 1TB HD for $70, or even a 2TB drive not much bigger.
Perfect 2TB HD, very slim, the "little giant" made by Toshiba (have several of these) $119

HT1766 I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work

I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.

If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

HT4847 My iCloud on my iPhone is almost full. What is using so much space?

I have a message that my iCloud is almost full. What is using so much space on my phone? New to having an iPhone! Thanks!

If that did not reduce Other, then unfortunately the source of the problem is contained in your backup and the only way to solve it is to save as much of your data as you can, then restore as a new iPhone and start over. You can save your photo stream photos to the camera roll (by opening the my camera roll album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import your photos and videos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), write down all your email account settings, back up your contacts, calendar, reminders and notes by syncing them with iCloud. If you have any voice memos, you can email them to yourself. If you have voicemails, music not purchased from the iTunes store or photos in your photo library that are not on your computer or in your iTunes library you'll have to use 3rd party software to save these, such as Touch Copy (PC and Mac) or PhoneView (Mac only). Then transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (File>Devices>Transfer Purchases) and sync your phone. This will save most of your data, but you will lose your text message conversations.
The other option is not to back up to iCloud and instead back up to your computer using iTunes. You're problem with Other won't go away and will probably continue to get worse until you bite the bullet and deal with it.
