Ipad storage full?

Hi
My ipad storage is almost full. I have 4gb + of music I would like to put in cloud. I have purchased extra icloud storage but see no way to store the music there?! How do I manage the storage. My times newspaper app is also using 5 gb is that normal?
Any help much appreciated!

If you want to be able to play it on your iPad then yes, you will need the music stored on it. Does the Times newspaper app allow you to manually delete past editions.
iTunes Match is available here in the UK, but it costs £21.99 per annum : http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/itunes-match/
Using Match on an iOS device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5637 - you can stream music from it (so you would need to be online) or download the music.
iCloud is for backing up your data / documents / photos e.g. it's an alternative to backing up to a computer's iTunes. But iCloud doesn't include everything e.g. audiobooks and ringtones can't be redownloaded, and an iCloud backup doesn't include your own music (and any item could be removed from the store at any time, so restoring to an iCloud backup might not be able to restore eveything e.g. if an apphas been removed from the store then it won't be able to reinstall it and its contents)

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.)

Storage full when it isn't

After message saying I had 200 MB available, I purchased 20 GB (ongoing monthly charge). Now it says I still have 200 MB and have 20 GB in storage. How do I convert the newly purchased 20 GB where it's needed?
Also unable to delete music and photos. No trash available.
Also after downloading IOS8 - cannot connect to the internet (after sleep) unless I turn off my iPad and turn back on.
Thanks for any help. This is no longer fun!

What is the 'storage full' message referring to, is it how much free space that you have available on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Available), or how much free space that you have available in the cloud for your backups ?
For music, what iOS version do you have on your iPad ? On iOS 7 and 8 you can delete individual tracks by swiping/dragging across them from right-to-left - on iOS 8 you can also delete albums and/or all an artists tracks in the same way (and you can do it via Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage > Music, either by swiping/dragging or via the Edit button at the top right of the screen).
For photos, how did they get on the iPad ? If they photos weren't synced to it from a computer then you should be able to delete them - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner (bottom right in iOS 7 and 8) if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it (Edit button on iOS 6, Select button in iOS 7 and 8) in thumbnail view. Photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app - you need to move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-sync

I have 14.5 gb available on my cloud storage - how do I transfer what is stored on my iPad storage to free it up

Help! I have 14.5gb available on my iCloud storage but my iPad storage is nearly full. Can I transfer it to the iCloud? If yes how? Thank you

No, the storage in your iCloud space is for syncing with other devices and back up, it is not for general storage.

Got email saying Icloud storage full. Yet, iCloud on mac

Got email saying Icloud storage full. Yet, iCloud on mac & Ipad shows 4.62 GB avail. of 5GB total. How do I find out what is exactly wrong?

Most likely nothing is, others have received this email but nothing happens. For now (unless you are having problem) ignore it.

My iPad is full, can I delete a tv show and still watch it in Apple TV?

If it's not on your computer, you can still view it on the AppleTV under TV Shows - Purchased. It will stream from the cloud to your AppleTV.

ICloud photo library and iPhone/iPad storage space

Hi,
I use iCloud photo library beta for some time and it's a great feature for apple product. However, I'm a bit worried about what happend after some time. Now I have 20Gb of storage in iCLoud and 16Gb iPhone 6 and iPad air 2. On both of them is the "optimize iPhone/iPad storage" checked. What will happen after I would put 20Gb of photos to the iCloud and the iPhone and iPad wouldn't have enough storage to handle them (even when the photos are optimize)?
Thanks for any response or a link where it is discussed,
Jakub

Hi jakudo,
"optimize iPad/iPhone storage" means that photos don't have to take any storage capacity of your devices, if you are using your devices storage capacity e.g. for other content like music, apps etc. Your photos will be stored in the cloud and only a some of them are stored locally as long as you have storage space available. The only thing you have to do, is upgrading for more storage as soon as your passing the 20 GB.
With kind regards,
David

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

Why do I keep getting a storage full message after deleting most of my photo app, on 16gb iPhone6

Hey,
I just purchased the new iPhone 6 16GB.upgrade jump T-mobile not paid in full $700.Nevertheless, why do I keeping getting a message about storage full? And it says...Go to setting and manage storage with iCloud. I have deleted most of the app, photo, and just about everything else, and still keep getting this message. It's almost as if I will be paying additional 3.99-19.99 a month to manage the icloud for apps that I already had. Perhaps this is the gimmicks to order the 64GB iPhone 6. In fact, the 64GB is offered as an upgrade to new or additional line customers. Come On give us a break for the loyal customers Geezh!!
Plus can't even upgrade software update to iOS8.1.1 because there is not enough storage. What sense does that make to even upgrade to the new iPhone 6???? Hurry up and fix this problem!

Purchasing iCloud storage will not help your issue. Also, if you want to upgrade, do it via iTunes rather than OTA - it doesn't require as much available storage to do it that way.
To check to see what is taking up so much of your storage, go to Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage, and you will see a list of the items on your device and the amount of storage they are taking up.
T-mobile's offer of the 64GB iPhone 6 to new or additional line customers has nothing to do with Apple. You need to take that up with T-mobile.
Cheers,
GB

N9: MfE Hotmail: Mail Storage Full Free some space...

Hi Friends,
Does anyone having the error " Mail Storage Full free up some space first"...? I have this issue with N9. I just deleted the account and added it again and Hotmail working under mmailsettings.. but no contacts.
I have so many issues with Hotmail & contacts that I am going to abandon my N9 once Lumia 920 released (of course I will remain Nokia Fan)...
I just wanted to know:
1. Once my MfE stops, my whole contact list disappear? Extremely annoying and I don't know to add contacts again.
2. I don't care about mail, I just need my contacts back.. does anyone knows how to keep the contacts in the phone once imported? and they remain in the phone for life?
Please help.. I usually don't attend phone from unknown contacts and now all my friends are unknown as the phone numbers are not associated with their names.
Thank you.

you can go into the setting of the exchange account and make it NOT sync the contaacts after you have them on your phone.

IPad is full....how do I get tv shows off?

I only have 221MB free of iPad space and my capacity is 13.8GB. I don't have much on my iPad, but I have been trying to download 23 episodes of a tv show onto it. It looks like all but 6 will fit. So my question now is how in the world do I clear the episodes off my iPad so that I have more space? And then I'm ASSUMING that I can go inti iTunes and redownload them 1 at a time when I need them since they will be/should be in the cloud?!?! As a side note, I have 4.1GB available storage in the cloud so it just seems to be an internal iPad storage issue. Please help!!!!!

Whether you can re-download TV shows depends upon what country that you are in (it's not possible in all countries), and whether they they remain in the store (content providers occasionally remove their items). You can copy your purchases to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) and you can then take your backup of them.
You can delete a tv show (or film) off the iPad by pressing and holding it on the selection screen, and after a second or two it should get an 'x' on its top left corner - tap that and it should delete.

HT204370 iPad is full, how do I delete a video so I can download more?

iPad is full, how do I delete videos so I can download more?

You can press and hold a film or tv show on the selection screen in the Videos app and after a second or two you should get an 'x' on its top left corner, tap that and it should be deleted. Have you got copies of them on your computer's iTunes (File > Transfer Purchases) ? Films and TV shows can't currently be re-downloaded in all countries, and even where they can be there is no guarantee that they will remain in the store for future re-downloading.

Why 5s keeps saying storage full when i have nothing on my phone

my phone keeps saying storage full with only MB left when i should have at least 6 GB free. I have no music and 1 GB of pictures. This problem happened before and the next day it was back to saying 6.something GB free. And nothing has changed since then. Why is apple software getting worse?

hey guys,
i appreciate the responses.
i did all that. nothing is taking up my capacity. I have already deleted all my music, i have 1 gb of photos, and only a few random apps, nothing totaling close to my phones capacity. this has happened twice before where the memory slowly decreases and i get the message of full storage. Then 2 days later its back up to 7 or 8 gb. Yesterday it was at 535 mb, and then last night it went back up to 6 gb. and as i type this its at 4.5 gb with no change in apps or photos or music. I have the latest update and other than that my phone is working properly. im assuming its just another software bug, but if anyone has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
