IOS update requiring 1/3 of my storage space for only 1.1GB download

I am a little disappointed with the new ISO update. It's a 1.1 GB update. But before it can download it for me, it says I need 5.8 GB (and 6.0 GB for another of my iPhones). That's 1/3 of my space!!! Other than deleting things from my phone.... how can I get this download? I'm a little disappointed that apple wouldn't have the approx 6 GB of space extra for things like this.

If you download the update straight on the device, it needs to store it in decompressed form. Downloading it from iTunes on a computer won't require nearly as much free space on the device.

"iOS update required" issue when trying to sign into App Store

My friend has sold me her Ipad 1. iOS 5.1.1 already updated.
When I use my Apple ID, i cannot even sign into the App store on the Ipad. Keeps saying "iOS update required" though the ipad is updated. I have changed regions on Apple ID with no luck.
This error also occurs when on the Ipad i try to setup automatic downloading. She can use her Apple ID no problem. Please help!

Hi, I couldn't download apps on my iPad 1. It say iOS update required for this action whereby my software is the latest 5.1.1

I couldn't download apps using my iPad 1. It says that iOS update required for this action.

Some developers allow you to download older compatible versions of their apps. If it's a free app then try downloading the current version on your computer's iTunes so that the app is in your purchase history, then on your iPad go to the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if you can download an older compatible version of it. If it's a paid-for app then contact the developer first and ask them if the above will work, don't buy it and then find it won't

HT4539 How do ypu perform the "IOS update" required to get ringtones on my cell?

How do I perform the "IOS update" required to get ringtones on my cell? I can't figure it out through the ITunes store....

Welcome to the Apple community.
If an update is available for your device, connect it to iTunes and use the update feature.
However, you do not need to update your device in order to use ringtones. Simply select the ringtones you wish to sync to your device from the Tones tab in iTunes on your computer when your device is connected to it, and perform a sync.

Two IOS Devices with single icloud acc, but storage remains 5gb only

Hi
I have iphone 4 and ipod 5th gen. For both i`m using single itunes Account.
For icloud, i use single account for 2 devices, the storage of icloud remain 5GB only. In actual, If there is separate icloud account, for 2 ios devices
i ll get 10GB Total , 5-5 for each ios device.
I need to know, How can i link 2 icloud accounts & have 10Gb of storage for backup on icloud. In this way, should i be able to use Photo stream,bookmarks, notes & etc for both devices, Same as it would work if i use Single icloud account.
As the devices are two, Why we are getting only 5Gb, which is free for only single device.

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

Command to show total remaining storage space for a host

I'm looking for a way to easily view the total amount of remaining storage space for a virtual host. At present, viewing the properties for a host in SCVMM is the only way to view this in the GUI. I was looking at sourcing a Powershell command to do this, and
then feed it into a custom column, for easy viewing within the VMM main window. Has anyone desired for such a thing?
Many thanks.

Hi!
Since I find your question to be interesting, I decided to write two scripts that might be of use to the both of us, and the community, perhaps. The first script does what you wanted. As a bonus, I wrote a similar script that checks for free space on the
virtual machines.
IMPORTANT: I tested the scripts on SCVMM 2012 Service Pack 1. I do not recommend running the scripts without checking for possible compatibility issues.
You can use the scripts in several ways. For example, you could run the scripts every time before running SCVMM. Or you could create a Scheduled Task using a Group Managed Service Account. Or on wednesdays...
The scripts update the fields when ran.
Prerequisites for running the first script:
Execution Policy, of course
Custom Property: "Available Storage"
Here is the script you are looking for.
Import-Module virtualmachinemanager
$hostNames = (Get-SCVMHost | Select-Object Name).Name
$availableStorageProperty = Get-SCCustomProperty -Name "Available Storage"
ForEach ($hostName in $hostNames) {
$VM_Host = Get-SCVMHost -ComputerName $hostName
$availableStorage = $null
$availableStorage = $VM_Host.AvailableStorageCapacity / 1GB
If ($availableStorage) {
$availableStorage = $availableStorage.ToString("N") + " GB"
} Else {
$availableStorage = "N/A"
Set-SCCustomPropertyValue -CustomProperty $availableStorageProperty -InputObject $VM_Host -Value $availableStorage
In my organization, most of the virtual machines use only one disk, but 20% or more of all our virtual machines have two or three disks. That is why the second script checks free space on three disks per machine.
Of course, it is fairly easy to remove the lines where the script checks the state of the other two disks.
NOTE: If a Virtual Machine is in an unknown state (deleted configuration or missing in other way), the script returns several errors (six) for that machine. The script is not destructive in any way, it only updates the desired fields (Custom
Properties).
Prerequisites for running the script:
Execution Policy, of course
Custom Property: "Disk0 FreeSpace"
Custom Property: "Disk1 FreeSpace"
Custom Property: "Disk2 FreeSpace"
Here is the second script.
Import-Module virtualmachinemanager
Function Get-FreeSpace {
param ($disk)
If ($disk) {
$disk_freeSpace = $disk.MaximumSize - $disk.Size
$disk_freeSpace = $disk_freeSpace / 1GB
$disk_freeSpace = $disk_freeSpace.ToString("N") + " GB"
} Else {
$disk_freeSpace = "N/A"
Return $disk_freeSpace
$VM_Names = (Get-SCVirtualMachine | Select-Object Name).Name
$VM_disk0_freeSpaceProperty = Get-SCCustomProperty -Name "Disk0 FreeSpace"
$VM_disk1_freeSpaceProperty = Get-SCCustomProperty -Name "Disk1 FreeSpace"
$VM_disk2_freeSpaceProperty = Get-SCCustomProperty -Name "Disk2 FreeSpace"
ForEach ($VM_Name in $VM_Names) {
$VM = Get-SCVirtualMachine -Name $VM_Name
$disk0 = $disk1 = $disk2 = $null
$disk0 = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk -VM $VM | Select-Object -First 1
$disk1 = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk -VM $VM | Select-Object -Skip 1 -First 1
$disk2 = Get-SCVirtualHardDisk -VM $VM | Select-Object -Skip 2 -First 1
$VM_disk0_freeSpaceValue = Get-FreeSpace $disk0
$VM_disk1_freeSpaceValue = Get-FreeSpace $disk1
$VM_disk2_freeSpaceValue = Get-FreeSpace $disk2
Set-SCCustomPropertyValue -CustomProperty $VM_disk0_freeSpaceProperty -InputObject $VM -Value $VM_disk0_freeSpaceValue
Set-SCCustomPropertyValue -CustomProperty $VM_disk1_freeSpaceProperty -InputObject $VM -Value $VM_disk1_freeSpaceValue
Set-SCCustomPropertyValue -CustomProperty $VM_disk2_freeSpaceProperty -InputObject $VM -Value $VM_disk2_freeSpaceValue
If you have any questions, ask. I'll check in later.
Cheers!

Storage space for sub mail accounts

Does anyone know how I can allocate more storage space for my additional mail accounts? I ran out of space and purchased another 2gb of storage on my .mac account. However, none of this space is allocated to my additional mail accounts i.e. all of it goes into my main mail account (where I dont need it...). Any advice?

This forum is for discussing issues related to the Mail & Address Book applications included with Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Yours appears to be a .Mac issue that has absolutely nothing to do with Mac OS X’s Mail. The right forum for such questions would be one of the .Mac Forums, such as .Mac General, for example.

Custom column to show total remaining storage space for a host

Why do we not receive 5 gb of free cloud storage space for the multiple Apple devices my wife and I have purchased?

Why do we not receive 5 gb of free cloud storage space for the multiple Apple devices my wife and I have purchased? Seems only fair.

logical. fair. I can understand the confusion in policy as another fine cloud service - DropBox - has a different model for increases in free storage amounts for one account = evangelism. As many policies as there are services probably.

I deleted all downloaded songs from my iphone but under Settings/About it still shows songs on my phone. How do I fix this? I need to use that storage space for other things.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

How do I manage (i.e., limit) storage space for Messages?

How can the amount of storage space for Messages be limited and/or managed? Messages are currently taking up nearly 600MB of my iPhone and iPad devices storage space. Deleting old message threads does not appear to reduce it. And I don't consider myself to use messages excessively.

Just purchased more storage space for iphone6 but not showing?

I just purchased more storage space for my iphone6, 20gb, but my backup storage still shows 5gb? How do I troubleshoot this problem, my credit card info is accurate?

You cannot install more storage space on an iDevice. If you don't have space on the device to download to it, then you need to delete stuff from it. Buying more cloud space does not do a thing for you unless you store to the cloud and remove from the device.

Not enough free storage space for ios update

My wife's iPad Air MD786LL/A with 32GB. Running iOS 8.0.2. I bought it for her last year for her birthday to replace her old iPad. She won't give up the old iPad. I keep her iPad Air up to date from time-to-time but when I tried to update the iOS, it said there was not enough free storage space (requires 2.4GB and the iPad Air only has 1.8GB). She also has a MacBook Air running Yosemite and an iPhone 4S on iOS 8.2. The old iPad runs iOS 7 and won't do the multi-device sync with MBA and iPhone (which is why I was trying move her to the more modern iOS). I need to free up some space on iPad Air.
Songs: 278
Videos: 40
Photos: 7,695
Apps: 50
I note that Settings>General>About does not list Books in the list of things on the iPad Air. Why is this?
Everything syncs to iCloud.
Q: can I delete photos on the iPad Air without removing them from her MacBook Air or iPhone?
I note that the iCloud Photos is still Beta. When I went to turn that on, it said that the 7,695 photos would be removed from the other devices. I did not proceed.
Q: How does one move a book back to the cloud after it has been read? This should free up space.

I can't update to ios 7.1 and I have enough storage space

I have tried updating to ios 7.1 and it said I did not have enough storage space. I removed over 700 photos and the storage space is now 4.8 gb, but it still won't install. I have tried switching off and on again to refresh the storage capacity, but the update still won't install. Please help.

Text messages containing photos & videos can take up a lot of space as well. That being said, if you have deleted these, check your Other space when connected to iTunes. This can take up a lot of space and can be addressed using Kappy's User Tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5142
Good luck.
