IPhoto 11 Out of storage space

I am trying to import photos worth 1GB. WHen I try to import them, after about 70% progress, iphoto pops me the error message that it is out of storage space and cannot continue even though I have over 40GB free space in my internal hard drive. Any suggestions or remedies?

Sounds like a damaged library. Backup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Application Support/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1 and #6.

I am trying to download photos off my IPhone as the "Cloud" tells me I have run out of storage space. I have connected my phone to IPhoto on my Mac but when I clik on Import nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Help for iCloud storage space >> Managing your iCloud storage

I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

Ran out of storage space

Recently ran out of storage space on my laptop, where I have been storing all music/videos purchased from iTunes. The music library points to a location in the hard disc of the laptop. Now that I have no more space on the internal hard disc I acquired an external 250 GB disc. What's the best way to move forward with iTunes? I don't really know what to do.
1. Should I copy all existing music/videos to the external drive?
2. Should I point the library to the new location on the external drive?
3. Should I delete all existing music/videos from internal storage and leave them on the external drive?
4. How to avoid double entries of each song/video?
Thanks for your help.

I am receiving a notification that says that I am running out of storage space. I backed up time mating to an external hard drive. Can I delete some files to make room?

I am receiving notifications that I am running out of storage space. I backed up my mac book using an external and time machine. Can I delete some files to make room?
If so,
When I want to restore from my time machine, can I pick and choose, say certain songs, photos or documents?

About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive. You can also use the Time Machine application to selectively remove files, but that may be ineffective if you have to free up GBs of space.

I have an abundant amount of images on my iPad and iMac and running out of storage space. Where or what device can store these images for the least amount of money?

Why does my IPhone 4 tell me that it can't back up onto icloud as it has run out of storage space, but when i look at iCloud storage it tells me I have 4.7GB out of 5GB available?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you checked how much space the backup will need.

HT4914 Out of storage space

My old laptop only has a 35G HDD. I was trying to upload all of my CD's and quickly ran out of storage space. With iCloud can I remove all of the stored music from my HDD once it has been matched, thus freeing up space?

You can, but the content will only be accessible when connected to the Internet. If that's a none issue, then go ahead and do it.
Otherwise, get a larger drive for the computer or an external drive to store your iTunes library on.

My iPad keeps showing a message that I have run out of storage space. I purchased more iCloud space in settings, but this message is still showing. It also won't sync when I plug in to my computer...??

My iPad keeps showing a message that I have run out of storage space. I have purchased more iCloud space in settings, but I am still getting this message. I also am not able to sync my iPad in iTunes when plugging in to my computer.

The storage space is the iPad storage space, not iCloud storage space. What size Ipad do you have?
How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Out of storage space on my iPhone.

I am out of storage space on my iPhone but have plenty on my iPad. My first question is can I use iCloud to supplement additional storage space on my phone? If not, can I delete pictures etc from my phone but keep them on the iPad? I don't want to lose them completely.
Thanks

TS3992 Phone running out of storage space, bought 15GB of iCloud storage...still not working

My phone was running out of storage space so my friend suggested I backup my files to iCloud. After doing this and paying for 15GB, I still am unable to take any new photos. This did not open up new space for me and it says there is still 7.7GB available. HELP. My friend who told me to do this said it worked for her and she has 25GB. My phone allowed me to take screenshots before and now I can't save anything. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help here?

This more than likely means you are running out of Space LOCALLY on your Device and you need to Delete Data OFF your Device...
If this is the case... Getting Additional iCloud Storage will not fix your issue.

ICloud "running out of storage space"?

Recently, iCloud is sending messages that I am running out of storage space. It says I have used 4.8GB out of the 5GB available to me. However, the storage space by apps does not add up to the shown used space.
How do I resolve this problem?

Hello Deldelcai
If you are having issues with your iCloud storage, then take a look on your iOS device and look to see if you have any back ups that may be taking up that space. Check out the article below for more information.

Why does my new phone tell me that I am running out or storage space?

I have a new Samsung Galaxy S5. It is telling me that I am running out of storage space on the device. I have only just received this phone and can't access my email account. What is the problem here?

Hi,
Difficult to answer without looking at the phone. If you go into settings and look for storage it will tell you how much is used for certain processes/documents.
Are you using a memory card and if so are you storing photos/videos on it as these take up loads of space and are best saved to Sd cards. Also are you installing large games?
Thanks,

Refurbished iPhone 5s (16Gb) says out of storage space when it shouldn't be out.

My sister recently got a refurbished 16 Gb iPhone 5s through AT&T. When I went to sync her data from her old iPhone 4 (16 Gb) it told me that there was not enough storage space on the phone. Because here old iPhone was never upgraded to iOS 7, I figured that the lack of room was associated with the larger operating system (I know a few people who had that issue last September). After skimming down her photos and music, I managed to sync the phone.
However, her phone displayed a message saying that it was low on storage space. I checked in the usage menu in the settings to see that there is 0 bytes available and 12.6 Gb used. Since I watched my sister remove half of her music library and 1,000 photos, I didn't believe that the storage could be completely out. After a quick tally of the apps in the usage menu, I estimate that just under 8 Gb of memory should be used.
I'm not sure if there is some other program or part of the OS that is using up the rest of the memory (seems unlikely) or is it possible that the issue is related to the fact that it is a refurbished phone. I would greatly appreciate any suggestoions or explanations as to why this happens.
Thanks in advance,
Tim

........What do you mean by 'refreshing system preferences'? I just restarted my Mac before I checked but the same storage info is seen in my iPad and iPhone.
Yes, that's what I meant my restart.
What happens if you add, say a new pages document.
Hold down the alt key after opening the Finders 'Go" menu, choose 'Library' from the menu, look in 'Mobile Documents' and let me know what you see, you can look in various folders at will, but don't go moving or deleting anything. Look for any large unexplained documents.

HT204150 I purchased more storage on cloud for my Iphone because i received"out of storage space"messages it has not resolved the issues still receiving same message help.

Hello I purchased more cloud storage because I continued to receive messages saying I was out of storage. I can not take photos despite having only 20 pics on the device and not many apps. Everytime I have updated my phone in the past with the apple updates, my phone develops a new issue. I have a 4s. I need guidance on storage issue. If purchasing the additional cloud storage would not remedy the situation, how do I cancel the cloud purchase. I just purchased it yesterday and I have 15 days to request a full refund according to cloud.

Hey Ms. Bert,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may be running low on storage on your physical device, rather than in the cloud. Which means, purchasing an iCloud storage upgrade would not resolve this issue (as you have suspected). So let’s get that taken care of first (note: you will need to contact Apple to cancel your plan):
iCloud: Cancel your storage upgrade
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12798
Now, let’s dig into why you are losing storage on your device. You can you check your Usage, as outlined in this resource:
iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867
Depending on the application, you may be able to free space up from this screen.
Thanks,
Matt M.
