Something in the update is either consuming all the storage space
No it's not.
Stop speculating and find the answer for yourself.
Connect the device to the computer.
Launch iTunes.
Select the Summary tab for the device.
Look at the bottom of the screen at the bar graph and see what is taking up space.
Then manage the space on the device.
If "Other" is taking up a large amount of space (Greater than 1GB), restore the device.

IPhone 5c storage issue

My 8gb iPhone 5c says I've used 5.7gb and only have 222mb left. Any ideas why? Thanks

If your iphone is 8 decimal gigabytes, your operating system will report that it is approximately: 8 * 0.93 = 7.4 binary gigabytes, minus what the OS occupies, equals about 6GB's. That's all you had to begin with...about 6GB's of storage.

IPhone used storage issue, 4.55GB 'other' used storage

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.

Ios 8.2 storage issue

I have an iPhone 5s 16GB. Ever since I updated to ios 8.2, I have had random storage issues. One day after updating I received a message "storage almost full". 30 seconds later another message that my storage was full. Shut off my phone and did a hard reset. No change. Started to delete pictures, videos and apps. Available storage began to increase. After all of this it reported I had 1G available. Phone was good for about 6 hours. Noticed storage was decreasing by the hour and was down to 324 Mb. Deleted almost all my apps. Storage showed 1.3 Gb. Thought problem was solved. Noticed last night storage was 2.0 GB. Thought this was weird. This morning back to square one 0 bytes available. Apple needs to get it together with this update!! I've read several other post on this forum with exactly the same issue. Deleted a few more apps this morning. 116mb free at this time, but I don't expect it to last.
Wanted to start a new thread with this problem.

You don't have enough physical storage space on the device for the update to take place. The process can use ~6 -~7 GB of storage space. You can possibly free up the required space by deleting apps and other data. The easiest way to do the update with all of the deleting required is to update the device using iTunes & your syncing PC. No additional storage space is required on the device when updating through iTunes.
Beforehand though, you should delete the update residing on your device under Settings/Usage, then under the Starge heading: Manage Storage. A list of installed apps will be displayed here. You can delete the update by finding it in the list (it should be near the top since they are sorted by size, largest first), tapping it, then tapping the red Delete App button.
EDIT: BTW, after an update, there's no way to revert back to the previous version. If you don't have the required space on the device for the process, the update will simply not install.

Where did you get the phone? FaceTime is banned in some countries in the Middle East. What had you done before it disappeared; did you possibly reset or restore the phone?
If the above is not the issue, if you use Search by dragging down your finger from the center of the screen and you search for "Facetime" does it appear as an app? If it does, then you must have moved it into a folder or another page of the Home screen. If it is in a folder the folder name will be displayed.

IPhone 4S storage usage seems wrong

I have been having storage issues on my iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3) for a while now, so I found another place to store my photos & deleted most of my pictures off of my phone and am now down to 121 photos. However my usage in settings says I still have 6.2 GB worth of photos on my phone, and when I plug it into iTunes it still says I have over 650 pictures. Is this an inconsistency with iCloud storage (which also says I have 6.2 GB of photos) or with the internal storage on the phone?

Hey Erindf93,
I would try to back up and then restore from that backup. You can read about how to do that here:

Oracle 10g RAC using ASM - Storage Issue

I’ve an issue related to Oracle 10g RAC.
I’ve 2 node cluster each being Dell 2850 Server with RHEL 4.0
I’ve EMC CX300 SAN storage with following partitions
/orasoft     10 Gb          OCFS2 File system
/oracrs          2 Gb          OCFS2 File system
/orabackup      100 Gb          OCFS2 File system
The datafiles are on ASM which is not directly visible in OS.
I’ve common Oracle Home installed in /orasoft/db_1 which is shared by both nodes in cluster.
I’ve faced an issue recently related to EMC storage.
The /orasoft partition displays 1.4 Gb space available using df command.
With both nodes sharing the common Oracle Home (/orasoft/db_1), when ever I try to touch a file I get an error as No Space left on device. I’m unable to start any service with the same reason.
Is this setup correct ??
Can anyone help me with this storage issue ??

Need a clarification here...what do you mean by "Storage System"...do you mean a server/node or the SAN storage system. If you are referring to a server/node's local storage, then it would NOT be possible for use by RAC, since the disk space has to be shared among the nodes.
Here is what you can do:
- Create two partitions/devices (for example Disk_1 and Disk_2) in the SAN storage
- Create a ASM disk group which would mirror Disk_1 to Disk_2.
Again, please note that the partitions have to be visible and be accessible read/write from both the nodes/servers.

Hi,
If you create a new diskgroup you may be to add the same diskgroup to parameter file or spfile and which will be needing down time.
sugestion: Instead of creating new diskgroup you should to add disk to existing group.if you add asm disk to existing group your all problem will be solved and Oracle itself will be managing all.And than i am sure no need to add entry in the parameter or spfile like +db_create_file_dest=.....

HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

My iphone 5c storage is almost full and I need to delete some pictures to free up some space, I pay iCloud for extra storage but I'm afraid if I delete it off my phone that it will delete it from iCloud, is that true? I can't afford to lose these pictures

My iphone 5c storage is almost full and I need to delete some picture to free up some space. If I delete the pictures off of my phone, will they be deleted off of iCloud as well? I cant afford to lose these pictures.

Using iPhone as Storage for any docs

Does anyone know how can I user iphone as storage device? I had motorola phone with 8 gigs mem card, where I could drag any docs (word, excell or any pics and music) I know it's pain here already with all the podcasts that I downloaded to transfer to a different PC, how can I transfer Word docs?

You mean you want to be able to take work files from one computer, upload them to the iPhone, then download them another, different computer? Just making sure I understand what you want to do.
I do not know of any universal file transfer app like that, other than using some cloud-type storage perhaps as a go between computer(s) and iPhone.
For MSOffice docs specifically, there is QuickOffice, which allows editing of MSOffice documents on the iPhone. QO transfers files between computer and the iPhone via an embedded (in the app on the iPhone) wifi web server. You enable the file transfer web server on the iPhone, and then connect via a URL in a web browser on any computer you wish that is on the same wifi subnet. Once the web page loads on the computer, you can upload or download files to/from the iPhone.
Because of the app compartmentalization of the iOS, the office files on the iPhone would only be accessible from within QuickOffice.

IPhone 5 Calendar Issue: January 1, 1995

I flew from the Eastern Time Zone into Central Time Zone, which is my home time zone, this afternoon, and tonight my iPhone 5 is telling me the date is January 1, 1995. Can anyone help explain why this is happening, and/or how to fix it? It sometimes switches back to the correct date, but only for a minute or less. I have restarted my phone twice and it has not worked, even when I kept my phone off for over an hour. When the date is January 1st, 1995, I cannot send texts, or go onto the internet, or use any apps using data. PLEASE HELP!!
Much thanks
