  • Need to reduce iCloud storage - help archive mail

    I neeed to reduce my iCloud storage due to the upcoming mobile me changes.
    I have a huge amount of mail storage, my question, what is the best way to store old email files locally rather than on iCloud? can archive store locally?
    Thanks

    In Mail on your Mac:
    Create a new mailbox: make sure that it's under 'On My Mac' not 'iCloud'.
    Go to your inbox, or wherever your old emails are store, in the 'iCloud' part of your list in Mail.
    Select the latest, then shift-click the earliest, of the emails you want to move. I shouldn't try to do too many at once.
    Drag them to the mailbox you just created.
    Take the dog for a walk while they download. They will be removed from the server.
    You'll have to do this from time to time to keep the numbers on iCloud down (Rules apply only to mail as it comes in so AFAIK you can't apply the process automatically to emails once they reach a certain age).

  • HELP***iCloud storage help needed

    Can you let me know why if I have 14 gb of space left in my 50 gb plan that icloud won't let me back up my phone on icloud?  It says I have run out of run, yet I have 14 gigs left??

    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.  Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • HT4847 iCloud storage help!

    Hi, I have a iPod touch and a notice keeps coming up saying this device needs to be backed up so I go to back it up and it then says not enough storage so I go to manage storage and I don't completely understand what to do from there I deleted most of my apps and emails and photos but it still won't back up.
    what do I do?

    Try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again.  Also delete any backups from other devices (if you have any) that you no longer need.

  • Help with my iCloud storage problem? Weird issue.

    (posted originally & still in iPad)
    Hi.
    I read the manual and did everything (to my knowledge) and spent 2 days researching this but cannot locate an answer. I sure hope it is something that is right in front of me that I am missing somehow!  Please see if you can help me. I am the only MAC user in the family, so I have nobody to ask. Thanks.
    Ok, I personally have an iPhone, and iPad2 and iPad4 all on my same Apple ID. (that is what you are to do, right? that way your apps purchased can be shared on all those devices and you don't have to purchase new, right?) (The iPod just croaked w/ white screen.)
    Ok, just this Friday 2/8, my iCloud told me the "cloud is full" to manage it.  Ok, so I go to manage it, but everything I do I notice does ZERO to release the space.  I worked two days releasing tons of space and nada. The icloud didn't move from full position. I did turn on and off my devices. I signed out of the iMac cloud.
    I see this:
    On my iPad (etc):
    TTL Storage 5.0GB
    AVAIL 281mb
    So I go to "manage"....
    for "Docs and Data" it ONLY shows 2 apps I never use (I do use notebook apps but nothing else shows here but these two apps):
    Writers App 12.5kb
    Tweed 0.1kb (since deleted so it only shows the first)
    Then, below that it shows (in my opinion the culprit!):
    MAIL 4.7GB
    Soooo, I went to iCloud on my iPad and iMac (took turns) and DELETED IT ALL TO ZERO. Zero in inbox. Zero in sent. Zero in Trash. It is a hollow trash can!
    I signed out of the iMac icloud.
    I come back and my "manage" area looks EXACTLY the same as stated above.  The mail still shows at 4.7GB.  It did not drop!!!  I had other "accounts" of emails originally on my iPad to check, as it is a big convenience to go to mail and choose the account and it is right there, but I deleted ALL those as well. THE ONLY mail program I have on my iOs is iCloud.  Even on my iMac, I turned it off.
    I have NO iWork.  DIdn't purchase that yet.
    I have a lot of APPS and at one time under "manage" it LISTED all the apps and I could turn them "on" or "off" for icloud storage.  I turned camera OFF and most all apps EXCEPT notebooks like Noteability, Evernote.  NOW, after deleting all my icloud email, I do NOT see them nor the option to "bring them into the cloud or delete them from iCloud useage"....it ONLY will show Writers App and Tweed (never use them). Not sure where that list went!!
    Is there some kind of GLITCH that I am experiencing?  I want my icloud experience.  Is there something I am overlooking?
    At one point I changed the settings to back up NOTHING and that FULL icloud did NOT change! And, it still showed the same thing as stated above with mail at 4.7GB.  Also, at one point I did ONE (count 'em) icloud back up on my new iPad4 and I DELETED that since I saw this issue as well. (Plugged into my iMac and used iTunes instead).
    Also, when I sign in on my iMac and in Sys Pref go to iCloud....I see this:
    It has on left this wording: "icloud account (button) and sign out (button)"
    on right: (on icon below another it reads:)
    mail, ctc, calendar, bookmarks, photostream, docs & data (off), back to mac(off), and find mac.
    And, to far left bottom "manage" when I GO THERE, it ONLY shows this:
    Mail 4.7GB (grrrr lol) <---there is nothing in the icloud.com email box/any of them.
    that writing app mentioned above at 12.5kb
    Backup O
    There are NO apps shown at all (and I do have plenty on my iMac as well).
    Thanks.
    I really want to have the cloud experience again (a person has told me I have it, but what I am saying is for it to work flawlessly as it has been for me, actually working ...being able to email and recv/read emails (bouncing now)...backup IF DESIRED (no chance now as it says it is FULL)...etc.
    Is this some virus-y thing or glitch or am I overlooking something?
    I would appreciate your help so very much.
    Thanks.

    WOW!  ***** NEVEMIND *****
    FINALLY FIXED ITSELF AFTER 2.5 DAYS OF TIME CONSUMING WORK AND INSPECTION! 
    Thanks, I am happy to report my iPad is fixed but have to share with you what happened:
    I just went to Mass and prayed at Mass for guidance to help find the solution as I am sincerely looking hard and don't have the time (I know, who does, right?).  I prayed that if I couldn't find the issue that someone here would be guided to see this and assist me.
    Well, after I get home and feed the family, I go online again to look at my iCloud email box on my iMac and just keep looking...yes, it is completely white and clear. I see nothing that can be "MAIL" of 4.7MB.  So, then, I turned on my iPad once more just thinking I may have to give up on this and just live w/o it. I re-cheked my AVAILABLE storage for the last time and it was at 5.0!!! I was like "WTH?!!" Then, I re-opened my iCloud email on my iMac and it was still blank but just then my iPad AVAIL (storage) dropped to 4.9GB.
    So, as it is now, I have 4.9GB available for icloud storage. OUT OF THE BLUE after so many many hours and all nighters for two days. I'm beat.
    It seems in this case perhaps it was some weird odd GLITCH??  That the email deleted and space opened only showed up NOW (ie: a big delay from when I cleared it out yesterday night...about 24hours)???
    I will leave this here in case:  anyone at Apple sees that there is a problem with this and they are looking for other reported cases...they can update their manuals or update how their product reacts (more real time) OR if someone out there has had similar issues.
    Do all you can and refer to the official Apple iPad manual that is located in your reader.(or here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf) and
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/index.html?localePath=English.lproj#mmd0558ce3
    also this Complete iCloud Guide is a good read: http://www.iphonehacks.com/2011/10/the-complete-icloud-guide.html then search the forums and pray. ;-)
    I personally think my situation was a delay type glitch where I deleted the over-load and then when I corrected everything, it didn't click in till about 24 hours later...so maybe after you did everything you can, wait 24 hours and see if it self corrects to the right storage amount?  Just putting it out there in case anyone experiences anything like this as it perplexes you when you seem to be following all the "rules".

  • I have deleted so many pictures, and I only have about 6 apps but i still don't have storage. Whenever i try to take picture it won't let me because there is no room. I just bought more iCloud storage but it didn't help. Any suggestions?

    I need advice on getting more storage for my iPhone 6. I have just bought more iCloud storage, but it didn't help. I only have about 100 picture and 6 apps. I also recently purchased music and it won't let me download it to my phone because there is no storage. Any suggestions on getting more storage for my iPhone?

    iCloud storage has nothing to do with the memory available on your iPhone.
    Have you tried a reset?
    Also, see this article:

  • How can I REALLY downgrade my iCloud storage?  HELP!

    How can I REALLY downgrade my iCloud storage?  Apple is trying to scam ppl out of $$. They will NOT allow you to downgrade per their instructions.  It ALWAYS says the iCloud manager is not available, try later.  Here is what my email says:
    This is a reminder that on 03/03/2015 you will be charged $10.99 for your 20 GB storage plan using your Visa •••• (deleted). If you do not wish to be charged, you can cancel by downgrading to the free storage plan from your iOS device, Mac or PC.
    The iCloud Team
    I'm so disappointed that all my products are currently Apple and now I down't trust them as far as I can throw them.  There is already a class action suit in Florida for the icon taking up 23% of users' available space, now they are trying to charge me $$ yearly when I do NOT need the space?  Shame, Apple.. Steve Jobs must be rolling in his grave about your unethical business practices... This does NOT work:
    You can also cancel or downgrade your storage plan at any time. For a full refund, contact iCloud Supportwithin 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment. Partial refunds are available where required by law. Learn more about iCloud storage plans or get help using Cloud storage.
    No... the "done" button will not light up, and it says the iCloud manager is "not available at this time.  Try again later."  This is a known problem... fix it.
    <Edited By Host>

    Thank you Roger!  Going into my iTunes at least allowed me to delete my credit card info so they can't charge it.  In the meantime, after 2 calls I finally got connected to a Senior Advisor from Apple who was able to manually go into my account and remove the automatic charge to my credit card.  After sharing my screen, she was able to see the issue many others are having being unable to downgrade.  There is a bug in the system that tells you the manage storage is "unavailable at this time".  She followed me through several of these threads and realized it is actually an issue.  She took all the relevant information and will submit a bug fix request.  She even admitted that goal and apple were having an issue syncing to the correct time zone at that there was no know fix at this time.  While frustrating, the honesty was refreshing.
    Thank you SO much for you quick response on this!  My apologies for my tone; this was my first time using this forum.  I went through Apple support and didn't realize that there are no Apple employees on here.  I was on the line with someone from customer service that wasn't as helpful at the time and was very frustrated..
    Thanks again for your help!  To all others having this problem, keep calling Apple tech support until you get a Senior Advisor - they will help!!  The advisor even told me to tell people to call in and that they need to manually downgrade on their end until they get this issue resolved.

  • Can't buy iCloud storage for second time on same card (accidentally missed .99c payment). Payment information won't accept  my country:region and will  not let me hit complete. Please help!!

    Please help! I've cannot update/amend my payment info after accidently missing the payment for more icloud storage. I would like to purchase it again using the same card and it wont let me. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

  • Don't know why my iCloud Storage is gone. Help!

    iCloud Storage Error
    I try to free up all my devices that use iCloud for backup.
    As you can see, the total size is just 663.1MB.
    and I do backup only the stuffs like Keynote, Pages and Mail which takes only, 125.2MB, 723.9KB and 78KB.
    I don't backup Camera Roll at all.
    The total space I am using should be 790MB maximum.
    But iCloud service notified me that the available space is only 71MB left.
    I am okay to upgrade if it is more logical. I don't know how they count space.
    Any ideas/ help ?

    I have the same issue. I have no backups on my Ipad, iPhone on icloud, only 124,8MB of Pages, Numbers and Preview documents, 5,9MB of icloud mail and th rest should only be what's ticked, ie. Contacts, iCal, Notes. And out of 5GB I have 444Mb free space. What takes up the rest? And from yesterday, when it was still 660 MB it shrank to this 444MB.
    Any ideas?

  • HT1688 I purchased more ICloud storage for my Iphone because I couldn't take any more pictures, or download any mor apps. The extra strorage that I purchased did not change anything on my phone. I still can't take pictures or download apps. Help!!

    I purchased extra Icloud storage because I couldn't take any more pictures on my phone, or download any more apps. The extra storage purchase did not change a thing. I still can't take pictures or download apps. Help!!

    Icloud storage has nothing at all to do with the storage on your iphone.
    Icoud storage is on a server somwewhere, not on your iphone.
    You need to delete content from your iphone

  • When I try to upgrade icloud storage I get an "unknown error" message. I can't install the software upgrade or back up my phone. HELP!

    Need help with icloud storage

    Not sure if you are trying to upgrade iCloud storage to make more room for the upgrade, but that won't help you. If you do not have enough room on your device for the upgrade, then you have to delete some things off of your device. You can also try to do the upgrade via iTunes on the computer you sync with. A direct upgrade does not require as much memory as a Wifi upgrade.
    Upgrading iCloud storage only provides more storage for your backups and for your iCloud sync'd items like messages, contacts, etc.
    Until the iCloud Drive is fully functional, iCloud will not help you to increase the memory capacity of your device.
    And, right now, the iCloud servers may just be overloaded with activity.
    Cheers,

    I received telling me that my icloud storage is almost full.  I need to upgrade my storage.  Can someone help me out with this.  I understand that the 20 GB is only .99 per month.  Just hoping this would be enough for me.  I back up 2 ipads and my iphone on the same computer.  Any help you can give me would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Okay.
    I responded as I did because you wrote, "I have 2 ipads and my iphone that I back up on one computer"
    No worries here.
    But hopefully you get/got it sorted.
    Any issues, post back.
