Imessage uses too much storage

Hello,
I've got a big problem. I updated my ipod Touch 5g 64 GB to ios7 on thursday. When I was looking in the settings to see the new options and functions, I got to the overview of all apps and how much storage they take. Normally, my 2 GB games were there at the top, but this time, I was really shocked: iMessage used 13,1 GB of my storage although I've cleared my complete history. I noticed that my ipod uses a bit too much storage, but ios 6 didn't show the usage of imessage. I searched for an option to delete these files, but I didn't find an option for that (signing out of imessage and apple id, checking imessage). Now my question is: How can I delete those files, because it takes too much storage and I can't even use them.

You have corrupted files on the iPod I suspect that if yo connect the the iPod to yur computer the "other" amount of storage would be large.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
First try restoring from backup.
Last, restoreing to factory setting/new iPod may be required if the corruption is in the backup

  • My I-phone 4 is using too much memory storage.  Data

    My I-Phone 4 is using too much memory.  It shows Apps at 1.44 and Data & Documents at 1.68, not to mention "other" using up more memory.  I have tried eliminating apps but nothing changes.  How does one get rid of some of this "stuff" that is using up so much memory??

  • Camera connection kit w/USB says cannot work uses too much power

    When using the camera connection kit /USB the message cannot use device it uses too much power pops up!

    What are trying to use it with ? If you are connecting it to your camera then does your camera have a setting on it to enable PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol, Pictbridge) or Mass Storage Device ? If you are trying to use a third-party card reader or a flash-drive with the kit to copy photos/videos over to the iPad, then a lot of them require more power than is supplied to the iPad's port - if you have a powered card reader or a single-card reader (i.e. not one that has different slots for different types of memory card) then that might have a better chance of working

  • HT4101 My ipad says the device uses too much power when I connect my camera

    I brought my ipad 2 on holidays and have purchased the camera connection kit.  I tried to download my photos and an error message came up saying that the device uses too much power!    My ipad is powered up to 100% and I have closed any open files and it still says the same thing?  Does this actually work or do I have to return it?

    What have you connected to the kit ? The amount of power that is supplied to the kit is limited, and can't be changed - and a lot of card readers and cameras need more power than is supplied to it. If you have connected the kit directly to your camera then does your camera have a setting to enable 'mass storage device' and/or PTP (picture trasnfer protocol or pictbridge) ?

    Do your cameras support Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) and/or USB Mass Storage Device Protocol (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106), and if so do you need to change a camera menu setting in order to enable it ?

  • Macbook using too much memory

    Hi guys,
    Weirdly my macbook pro (mid 2012 model) is using too much ram, core i5, 4 gb ram
    Take a look at this screenshot...
    While I took this screen, I was using only chrome (4 tabs), itunes (wasn't playing anything), and utorrent, nothing else!
    I have a friend who has a Macbook Air 13.3" and with VM, CAD software, music playing, safari, his macbook uses 3.80 gb (same as me without VM)
    I've done a clean install of the OSX 10.9.2 (to remove previous mountain lion files etc), my computer even frozen once, had to manually turn it off...
    Does anyone know what can I do? Thinking about buying buying 2 modules of 4 gb but is there another solution besides buying more ram? This laptop isn't 1 year old =/
    Thank you guys!

    I do not see any problems with the Activity Monitor data in regards to RAM.  As I see it, there are no Swaps and the Wired RAM is normal in my estimation.
    As an aside, i suggest that you try another browser as I alluded to you before.  Also I would get rid of the torrent application.  They are often an invitation to malware or trojans.
    Comparing your friends MBA and your MBP is still not an Apple to Apple situation.  (pun intended)  The Air has ssd storage, your Pro does not which will distort the results.  In addition you would have to compare them with EXACTLY the same criteria.  Doing that is not worth the effort.
    Unless you are having performance issues there is no cause for alarm.
    Do consider increasing it to 8 GB if the bank account allows.  The new OSXs seem happier with that amount.
    Ciao.

  • To upload photos from my pc onto my ipad using a usb stick. I bought a camera connector kit and tried placing the usb stick onto one of the white square adaptors, stuck it into the ipad2 and I got 'the device uses too much power'' message. Pls help.

    I am not very familiar with the ipad2. I wished to transfer some photos from my pc (not an apple pc but that is the only one I have) to my ipad2 as I thought it would be easier to cull them, edit, crop etc to create albums for our recent trip (the photos are already on the pc and no longer on the camera memory card). When I place the usb stick on the adaptor and stick it onto the Ipad2 I keep getting 'device uses too much power/ requires too much power' message. I read somewhere on the internet that a usb hub could be used to solve the issue but that did not work either. What am I doing wrong? Is there actually a way around this problem. If not why does apple sell this product for Ipad users at all?
    Thank you for any help/ solution you can offer.
    Regards

    I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

  • For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

    If they were deleted from your camera roll that should have resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated size of your next backup.
    If it's still saying that you don't have enough storage to back up, read through this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.  It provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage, such as deleting unneeded email. 
    The other area to look at is your text messages.  These are included in the backup.  If you have lots of photos and videos attached to your messages, that can significantly increase the size of your backup.  If that's the case, deleting these may make a big difference.

  • On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display, Why does the "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices" keep coming up after I unplugged the usb device?

    On my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 15", that I purchased a few weeks ago, started coming up with the following message on my desktop:
    "USB Devices Disabled Unplug the device using too much power to re-enable USB devices".
    I unplugged the device and the message still keeps coming up.
    This is what I have done so far to troubleshoot:
    I shut down the laptop. When booting up I pressed the command+option+p+r at the same time. It comes up with a menu to reinstall OSX, Get help online, Run Disk Utility, etc. I choose the disk utility and repair the disk and then restarted.
    The message keeps popping up and I can't seem to get rid of it. Why does the message keep popping up even though I don't have any devices hooked up to the laptop at all? Any help to reenable my usb ports and get rid of the messaage would be helpful.

    I talked to Apple Support and we at least stopped the bleeding, a little bit. These are the troubleshooting steps I did before I contacted Apple Support:
    1. Reinstalled OSX
    2. Restore the last known good Time Machine Backup.
    This did not fix my issue, so I called Apple Support and they told me this:
    1. Turn Power off.
    2. Wait 15 seconds.
    3. Plug in Magsafe adapter.
    4. Wait 15 seconds.
    5. Hold down the Shift+Option+Power Button for 20-30 seconds.
    6. Turn Power back on.
    Ok, this stopped the bleeding a little, but as soon as I plugged in a Apple USB Superdrive
    and a Apple Mini Displayport to VGA Adapter. This "USB Devices Disabled" pop-up pops up like every 30 minutes now. At least, it is not constantly popping up after I close it, so I guess it will do for the temporary. Going to contact Apple support, later, though to see what else can be done.

  • Lacie "using too much power", USB disabled, can't access ext HD?

    Last night, moving items to my Ext HD, i got an error message about the USB "using too much power" and then it disabled it.
    I'm using a 15'' 2006 Macbook with 10.6.7 operating system.
    I've googled the issue and have run out of ideas.
    The Ext HD is a 500GB LaCie Little Disk New Pack USB2.0 Black
    Restarted the macbook.
    Booted the macbook into safe mode.
    I've tried plugging something else into both my USB ports (it detected the item, a camera card reader) and was usable.
    When I plug in my Lacie Ext HD now using its usb cord, the blue light on the Lacie flashes as if its detectable/inuse but there's nothing in my Mac menus showing access to it.
    HELP ?
    Error Message:
    Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your usb devices have been disabled.
    To prevent damaging your computer, the USB device drawing too much power has been disabled. Other devices may have also been disabled. When you disconnect the device drawing too much power, your other USB devices will be enabled again.

    Maybe the disk will work through a separately powered USB Hub?

  • Apple mobile device service uses too much cpu time

    Apple mobile device service uses too much cpu time, from 88% to 99% of the CPU time.

    The best way to fix this is to completely remove all aspects of iTunes then reinstall. Step by step directions are on this article. Good luck

    I can no longer charge my iPhone5 through either of my macbook pros. I get the error message that a USB device is using too much power. Can anyone help?

    I reconnected the original powered hub that I thought probably caused the problem and this time it shut down the whole computer. When I rebooted everything now works perfectly. The system reset. I tried another powered hub and it didn't have the same effect so the old one is heading for the bin and with fingers crossed all systems are now working perfectly. Trying to reset PRAM or reset the SMC didn't work but causing the same power issue did. Thanks for your input though. It did get me to think what was the original cause.
    Cheers
