IOS update, storage, and icloud

I have an iPad and I am not able to update to the iOS 8.0.2 due to insufficient storage. I was hoping to free up my storage by moving all my photos and videos to the icloud. I believe I have transferred a few, but before deleting them off my iPad camera roll I wanted to make sure they were being properly stored. How do I access the cloud? It said i wasn't able to set it up unless I had the most current iOS. I am in a catch 22 here. Help!

You won't be able to use iCloud to do this. If you put them in iCloud and delete them from your iPad, they will be deleted from iCloud too and will be lost. Import them to your computer using your usb cable instead, as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer.
Also, if you are trying to update over the air, consider updating using iTunes instead. That will require much less space on your iPad to update as it uses your computer's hard drive instead. To do this, see "Update your device using iTunes" in this article: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch iOS software.
If you still don't have enough space, you might want to delete something that can easy by synced back to your iPad, such as your music. You can delete all the music from your iPad by going to Settings>General>Usage...wait for the apps list to open then tap Music>Edit and tap next to All Music. Then sync it back using iTunes after your update.

Latest Revel IOS update crashes and won't install

I have been using Revel v 2.3.1-548 on iPhone 5 and iPad 3 without any issues. An update was released today (29 June) and this won't install and crashes the app on both devices so I have had to go back to the old version. Anyone else having this problem?

Problem with Storage and iCloud

Hello! I have a problem, and I've read some other threads here and tried what was suggested, but it's still not working for me.
I am using an iPhone 4s. I have purchased 15.0 GB total iCloud storage and I have 10.5 GB available.
This is my problem. I get an error message constantly saying that my storage is full, even though there's barely anything on my phone---and when I say barely anything, I mean it: I have about 3 pages of apps, no games, no large apps, and the most photos I can take before I run out of space is about 30 (!!!) which *****. As I mentioned, there is plenty of space on the cloud (10.5 GB free).
I read on another thread that this is a bug and that I should restart my phone and then do a new backup to the cloud. Only when I try to do that, it says it will take 80+ hours to complete. I suppose to could just leave my phone at home where there's a wi-fi signal and not use my phone for 3+ days, but realistically, that is just not an option; also my wi-fi *****, is slow, and goes out from time to time. If I leave of course I lose my wi-fi signal and the backup stops, and then I have to start it over when I get back.
What should I do? This has become a problem and is getting worse; I used to be able to take 100 photos or more before it filled up and cut me off, but the number has been steadily decreased over the past 2 months, to now filling up at 30 or sometimes less with short videos. Halp!

Sound like there may be something corrupt on your phone if you only have a few apps. 2.46 GB for Other is also quite large, unless you have a massive amout of app data from one of your apps. I would suggest you back up your phone on your computer, then restore it. To do this, do the following:
Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
Click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTune sync settings and click Back Up Now.
After the backup finishes, go to the Summary tab and click Restore.
Your phone will be restored, then it will restart and reappear in iTunes and give you the option to either set it up as a new phone or restore from backup. Choose to restore from backup, selecting the backup you made at the beginning to restore from.
When finished, check to capacity bar again to see if the values look more reasonable. If so, try your iCloud backup again.

IPad and iTunes cannot check for iOS updates. And iTunes cannot restore the iPad to 6.1.2.

Hi.
I have iPad 4G 32GB A1460. NO JAILBREAK EVER. Recently I installed iOS 7 Beta 3 on it. And now when I go to Settings -> General -> Software Update I get the error message "Unable to Check for Update. An error occurred while checking for a software update." And that's all. No useful information actually.
I have tried to reboot the device but no luck. I have also tried to connect it to a PC and check for updates from iTunes. iTunes shows me a little different error message: "iTunes could not check for an update to the carrier settings for your iPad. An unknown error occurred (1651). Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later." I checked the connection just in case and was convinced that the Internet connection is active. Does anyone know what's happening? I really don't like this.
OK, maybe the next iOS version isn't out yet. But what will happen if it is? Will I be forced to use 7.0 Beta 3 forever? I don't want to))
Another thing that I've tried to do is to restore my iPad to iOS 6.1.2. But the iTunes shows another error: "The iPad "<iPad name>" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (3194)." I tried this on Windows and Mac. On Mac I have a different message: "This device isn't eligible for the requested build" which seems to be the same thing as 3194-error on Windows.
Can anyone help me? Is there a reasonable explanation of this? Is this related to Apple's developers web site unavailability (http://devimages.apple.com/maintenance/)?
Thanks in advance!

Whats the difference in regular storage and icloud storage?

Trying to download i0s 7my iphone 4 says not enough storage, go to manage storage. I upped my icloud storage thinking, this would do the trick and increase reg storage. Puzzled.

What you call regular storage is storage that is in the device. iCloud storage is on the network and not in the device.
In order to download iOS 7, you need sufficent storage in the device.
Storage on the network or iCloud storage will not work for that purpose.
You might try do the upgrade to iOS 7 by connecting you iPhone to your computer then doing the upgrade from iTunes. By doing that storage on your computer will be used instead of on your iPhone. This will reduce the amount of storage needed.

Received note to update Itunes and Icloud. Itunes updated fine, Icloud reports and incomplete package, sugest to contact vendor

Tried tools and download first with same results. Went to Icloud.com and also failed. Anyone?

a colleague of mine suffers from the same problem. did a quick look on the apple support pages. found many topics covering the same problem.
also saw 1 marked as correct answer... (just browse the discussion pages before you ask, this answer appearantly was sitting there from oct. 14...)
(i'm not on windows, so i can't test...)
good luck!

Hi Rick,
by "repair" I mean I went to the control panel, option - programs and features, and in the list of all my installed programs I selected "Apple Software Update". On top of the screen you find the options Uinstall, Change and Repair. I clicked the repair button and that did the trick. After the repair I could uninstall the program. I also uninstalled iTunes, Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support en Bonjour, thus all Apple programs. Then I installed iTunes 10.5 again and everything went fine.
Success,
Peter

HT201413 Invalid signature when updating itunes and icloud, cancels update?

Apple software update cancels because of invalid signatures, what setting do I need to change?

That one suggests the installer has gotten damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud storage and backup, it says that I have 5.0 GB of total storage and 5.0 GB of available storage.

My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and icloud cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud Storage & Backup in my settings, it says that I have 5.0 GB total and 5.0 GB available. The only thing I have selected, at this point, to be backed up are my contacts and the Find My iPhone app. Why does it always say I have no icloud storage available when I have ALL of the icloud storage available?!

It says that my next backup size is 7.3 GB, but I have no idea why, because the only thing selected is the Find iPhone app, which takes up 0.2 KB...How do I get rid of whatever it THINKS it's backing up?

What is the oldest generation of iPad that will still allow me to run IOS8 and allow for future IOS updates?

Buying a used iPad... what is the oldest generation of iPad that will still allow me to run IOS8 and allow for future IOS updates?
Thanks

An iPad 2 will do it...for awhile. Realize that it's seemingly on it's last legs as far as iOS updates go and performance will not be great enough for today's demanding games. Also realize that a big part of running apps smoothly is how much system RAM (the memory area that the apps actually run in) the device has. The iPad 2 has 512 MB which is adequate for most apps but not for some. The iPads above the iPad 2 all have 1 GB of system RAM and the iPad Air 2 has 2 GB.
The time will come when the iPad 2 can no longer be updated past a certain iOS version (as the iPad 1 is) so it will be more difficult to keep up with apps that you want to be using. This will eventually happen to ALL devices so you'll have to judge if you want to be at the tail-end of iOS updates or at least have a bigger buffer with a newer iPad.

Why did the backup option disappear with the newest iOS update.... now I cannot update my phone?!

with the new iOS update the settings > icloud > "back up now" option disappeared. I cannot find a way to back up my phone at all! someone help?
its not automatically updating either.

My iPhone calendar and iCloud sync only one way

My iPhone 4 (iOS 5) calendar and iCloud sync only one way -- from iCloud to the phone. Any ideas why I can't sync from my iPhone calendar to iCloud?

When you add an event on Iphone, 3rd fields down from bottom, select calender > iCloud. Voila!!
I am not sure everybody understand really the intention with iCloud. It is one single calender residing on a Apple server somewhere. Selecting iCloud from any device will show this calender. Then how to sync this with other calenders is to me a mystery, or not possible, especially on Lion iCal. Please anyone.

HT1414 IOS update

I clicked to install the new IOS update yesterday and it froze my ipod 4. Nothing will reset it and it won't charge. When I press power button and on/off button the apple logo appears but followed by a white screen or blue screen or purple screen. Connecting to itunes doesn't work. It doesn't seem to recognise the ipod at all. Please help...

Try to put the iPod into DFU mode and restore it in iTunes. There are plenty of tutorials on the internet on how to put it into DFU. Just be sure the iPod is plugged into your computer and iTunes is open before you put it into DFU.

Quick Question - how often does a device check-in to see if it needs an iOS update?

simple question which i cant get an answer from Apple or the Normal discussion forums, so thought i woudl try the developer forums.
how often does a device check-in to see if it needs an iOS update?
and if its perodically (something like 7 days) would that explain why on two devices - one would show as the latest update being 7.0.4 and one shows 7.0.6?

How ddid you ask Apple?
This information is probably simply not disclosed.

I have updated my ipod to the most recent ios and i dont! want or need the icloud, so in the options are 1) storage and backup 2) delete account. if i choose delete account is that just cancelling my icloud or my entire itunes account?

So i have updated to the most recent ios and dont need icloud, when i go to the settings, i have the choices storage and backup or delete account. if i choose delete account will i delete the itunes account i use for music?

No, you will only delete the iCloud account from your phone, nothing else. If you are syncing any data with iCloud, be sure to choose Keep on My iPod when prompted. Otherwise, the data will be deleted from your iPod.

ICloud appears to have backed up apps, but nothing else after computer crash, IOS update and iphone system restore? How do i get the rest of my media back??

My windows computer crashed last night and shortly thereafter, my iphone updated to IOS 7 and i was forced to do a system restore before i could preform a backup... I tried accessing my old contacts, texts, notes, pics and apps thru icloud (i have it set up to automatically preform backup). It claims that the last back up was after my computer crashed/the update/system restore... I thought all was lost, then went to redownload some old apps. They all appeared with the icloud symbol next to them (instead of "free" or a price), so i'm assuming that i DO have things backed up on icloud? Why are my apps the only media showing back up? Is there a way i can salvage my contacts, texts, pictures and other deleted media still?

Apps are not included in a backup - only a reference to which apps are on the device. They are restored from copies in the app store.
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com. Check the contacts and other pages where your data had been stored. If they are not there, then the only place they could be is in a backup, either to itunes or (/and) icloud. You'd have to restore the backup. If the data is there, then your device is not connected to icloud. Go to Settings>icloud to be sure it's logged into the right account.
As for pictures...
Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".
