ICloud storage on my iPhone 4S.

I had an iPhone 4S which I dropped and shattered the screen. On this phone my iCloud was only at half of its capacity, however since having my phone replaced I keep being warned that I've reached maximum capacity. Why am I suddenly using more storage on said replaced phone than on my former phone? I have hardly downloaded as much as it would require to fill the entire iCloud capacity. And I can't afford to buy more storage and pay for it each year, that seems silly. Does anyone have any idea what's happened and why?

I'm sorry I'm not quite sure I understand. I already deleted hundreds of photos just so I could complete the initial backup to restore this new phone to the setting of my old phone. When I go to manage storage I am given the option to delete the backup of my old phone. Do I want to delete that? It's 2.8GB and I'm afraid it might delete the 2.8GB worth of actual data on my current phone. Will it do that?

    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.

  • ICloud storage issue; Restoring iPhone calendar from iMac after accidental iCloud deletion

    I set up iCloud to back up calendars and contacts and for find my phone.  Initially, it seemed to work alright.  Then I got messages on iPhone that there wasn't enough iCloud storage, even though the storage tab showed that I had used none of my iCloud storage at all.  So I turned off iCloud/contacts.   In iTunes I switched back from iCloud backup to backup from my iMac. 
    Later I got the same message about not enough room in iCloud even though only calendars involved.  So I truned off iCloud/calendar on my iPhone and was given the choice of keeping the calendars from the iCloud or deleting them (a foolish choice without a failsafe!!!).  I clumsily and mistakenly hit delete.  My calendars have most recently been synced with my new iMac and appear on the iMac and should also be in TM.  But right now there is no data in my iPhone calendar.
    When i go to calendars within the iiphone calendar there is a check next to Calender under "from MY Mac" and no reference to iCloud.  (There are no separate calendars for me, my wife, and joint.  Does this mean somehow these calendars have been merged because of iCloud?)
    I don't want to do another sync until I can make sure that the sync with the iMac will resotre the calendar(s) to the iPnone.  How do I do this?
    Do I have to do anything on the iMac before I try a sync?
    How do I avoid these problems in the future?  The only thing I really would like from iCloud is "find my phone".  How do I keep that capability without backing up or su=yncing otherwise anything through iCloud? 
    Is iCloud still Beta?

    Apple walked me through this and helped me revert to backing up on my iMac, using iCloud only for find my iPhone and iMac.  The process, however, is not straightforward and what the respective mac and iPhone support people (yes, they have that kind of specialization) led me through was clearer, if somewhat convoluted, than any instructions on Apple's support or community pages.
    Since my main concern was not losing my calendar and contacts information, the key was saving that, via export, to my desktop.  Sorry I didn't write down all the other steps - but I see that as Apple's job.  Back in the days of the IIC, Apple's manual was a model of clarity and completeness at the same time.
    Bottom line is while my immediate concerns were resolved, the underlying iCloud storage issue was not.  On my iPhone, I was being told that my attempts to backup to the iCloud failed because I didn't have enough storage, even though I determined almost none of my alloted space was used.  This issue is not helped by the multiplicity of settings relating to iCloud, or the interfaces (such as the iCloud on the iMac through Mavericks) which present a screen of icons without additional information.
    For my purposes, iCloud remains Beta.

  • ICloud storage full on iphone, but deleted almost everything and grows larger!  iPad is fine with same iCloud acct.  can I delete iPhone backup then turn it back on without loosing iCloud data?

    Icloud storage full.  Can I delete my iPhone icloud backup with keeping my iCloud data unharmed (since my iPad has iCloud storage turned on, and I wouldn't be turning iCloud off on my iPad). BTW, I use iTunes for music and photo albums; iCloud for contacts, notes, etc. Then turn iCloud back up back on on iphone to see if I had a problem file and the storage changes?
    ICloud storage full.  I deleted messages, moved the camera roll to my PC, deleted Safari bookmarks, turned off almost every app in Managing  iCloud storage.  I turned off the backup, restarted iCloud backup and did a manual backup yet my storage gets larger yet. 
    Makes no sense.  I have a iPhone and iPad. It's the iPhone showing this large iCloud storage  3.6 GB (when the iPad has more apps and only 716MB).

    ANSWER to my Question above:  YES.
    I took a chance, as I could find NO information regarding my question, and DELETED MY ICLOUD BACKUP (not my ICLOUD account).  I then turned ON my ICLOUD BACKUP and whew!  It plummeted from 4.8 GB full out of 5 GB TO: 1.2 GB full out of 5 GB. 
    I even turned on more settings to back up and it still shows 1.2 GB full in ICLOUD, 3.8 available.  No more emails to say I am running out of ICLOUD space. 
    [For what its worth if others are getting messages their ICLOUD is almost full, and you don't have all that much on ICLOUD.  Then when you even delete apps, messages, camera roll, turn off almost ALL icloud back ups and features the ICLOUD backup grows even larger.  My ICLOUD kept increasing in size while I was decreasing my ICLOUD storage in Managing storage.] 
    (All my ICLOUD contacts, notes, Safari bookmarks, were returned in place.)

  • Can i safely delete storage from 4S that is currently usin my icloud storage on my iphone 6?

    I recently purchased the iphone 6. I cannot complete an icloud backup due to limited storage space. I can see 2.7 GB in manage storage from my 4S, can I safely delete the storage from my old 4S and not lose anything currently on my iphone6?

    Hi GGdawn,
    Deleting backups of your iPhone 4s will not affect anything on your iPhone 6. See this article on managing iCloud backups -
    Manage your iCloud storage
    In particular you may want to archive any important data in those backups. See this article -
    Archive or make copies of your iCloud data
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • TS4009 I bought more iCloud storage but my iPhone says I don't have enough storage on my phone to upgrade an app or take a picture

    My setting show that I have plenty of available space, but I can not seem to do a single thing on my iPhone because it says there's no room. I cannot even upgrade an app or take a picture.

    Purchasing addition storage space in iCloud doesn't create any additional storage on your iPhone.

  • How to manage buy extra 5gb icloud storage in my iphone

    how to manage buy extra 5gb icloud storage in my iphone

    Before buying more icloud storage, be sure that, if you are having some problem like trying to back up to icloud, the lack of storage is not on your device.  If your device is short of storage, buying more icloud storage will not help.
    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.

  • HT4847 hi! I keep receiving a message that I have exceeded my iCloud storage yet my iphone says I have 24.4 Gbytes out of 25 available for use! Why do I keep getting a full message in my email?? Thanks for help to relieve me of this conundrum!

    The organisers seem to be keen on making me spend £70 simply to store on iCloud! help!!!
    Keenlad

    The message may be talking about icloud storage -or- available memory on your device.
    Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available.  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.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • ICloud & storage space on iPhone

    I'm looking at purchasing the iPhone 4S. Before buying it, I want to learn more about iCloud as it will likely influence what size I buy (16, 32, 64GB). I have looked at the webpage and video but am still a little unclear about a few things:
    1 - Will iCloud only store music purchased in iTunes? I have downloaded much of my music from other sources. Currently on my nano, I want to know how this will affect storage space.
    2 - Will iCloud automatically keep all of my apps/downloads? Will they only store on Cloud or will they still take space on phone too?
    3 - How much control do I have over what is kept on iCloud? I am currently an online student and being able to work on my course assignments from the iPhone will be great. Can I move things as I see fit or does the program determine this?
    4 - Anything else I should know about storage and iCloud? I am trying to determine how much storage I need, thus affecting my cost. I want to have a better understanding of iCloud and how it may benefit my storage space.
    Anyone who can offer any insight will be grealy appreciated. Thank you!

    2 - If I'm getting this right: By putting the file "as is" on the iCloud we can then sync between my Macbook Pro and iPhone... Do we select/upload the files as needed or does it just copy everything?
    Although the final details of iCloud have not been revealed yet, logic would indicate that you'd have control over what non-iTunes material gets sync'd to iCloud. Otherwise, if you didn't have some sort of control then every non-iTunes item on your Mac would go up to the cloud, not something everyone would want. Once iCloud is released and in use, then we'll learn more.
    Also, for your university work there are other options (e.g. Dropbox, SugarSync, etc.) that let you store and edit documents in these other cloud storage services, with apps for your i-device to access and edit them.

  • Bought extra iCloud storage and hasn't upgraded me

    Hi, I have purchased extra iCloud storage for my iPhone and so far it hasn't upgraded me therefore I am unable to take pics and record videos, can anyone please advise me on what I should do next. Thanks

    It never will be. That's cloud storage. It has nothing to do with the amount of storage space on your device. That is limited by the hardware you purchased and cannot be changed.

  • Trying to buy more icloud storage and keep getting "an unknown error has occurred"

    I am trying to buy more icloud storage with my iphone and I keep getting "an unknown error has occurred"

    Just saw the post from makras.
    There are always a few problems with a new OS. Apple can't police every maker of crapware that's on the planet.
    If you have a WD external drive, I would transfer (not clone) the files from it to another non-WD external drive that doesn't have crapware on it, and then erase the WD drive, and then never ever again buy a WD drive.
    You will find many posts on the Apple Discussions from disgruntled narcissists (a few borderlines too) who blame Mavericks for their computer problems.
    Mavericks is excellent (at least for me).
    Every new OS has some incompatibilities with older software. That's why if someone is an early adopter, they should understand this, and if they have a low tolerance for frustration, or are uncomfortable with basic mac maintenance and troubleshooting, they should not be an early adopter.
    Seems like the vast majority of problems that people complain about on the forums are related to crapware they have acquired on their computers from previous installations and promiscuous downloading habits.

  • 18000 and 200gb of iCloud storage how do i up load to iCloud and view them across my iPhone iPad and apple tv?

    I have 18000 photos and i have to signed up to 200gb of iCloud storage how do i up load to iCloud and see them across my iPhone iPad and apple tv?
    I have dragged my entire library over to the iCloud icon on the left side menu bar on my iMac iPhotos.
    i have also signed into iCloud.com but can only see recent few photos taken today on my iPhone and when i have gone to import i can not import for my iPhotos app?
    How do i get these to the cloud to view across my devices?
    What settings do i need to use on my iPhone and iPad?
    Or is iCloud not the best way to store and view my library?
    Thanks Spud

    You are a bit early.
    Wait for a few month.  iCloud Photo Library (Beta) and the Photos.app for Mac are being beta tested now and will be available soon on your Mac. Then you can store your photo library in iCloud and keep optimised versions of your photos on your Mac locally, with the full sized versions in iCloud. And all your devices will be able to access the photos in iCloud.
    See Apple's preview of the new Photos for Mac:  http://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
    Fill your library, not your device.
    iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your devices. When you choose "Optimize Mac Storage", it stores all your full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud in their original formats, while keeping storage-saving versions on each device. When you make an edit, the original image will download automatically. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.
    and also:  Photos for the Mac Is Clean, Fast, Connected — and Unfinished
    The iPads and iPhones can already do it, but the Mac can only access this library using the web interface,  see:  iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ
    Use the time, till Photos will be released, to consolidate your photo library. Get all places and faces tagged, all keywords, titles,  and ratings ready, duplicates removed, events and albums well structured, and when Photos will be released, you can simply let it migrate the iPhoto or Aperture library to iCloud Photo Library.  Enable "Optimize Storage" and you will be able to have the bulk of your photos in iCloud.

    If you've wiped the device remotely then it is no longer associated.
    You could also change the password for your Apple ID.
