It says apps are taking up more space on my phone than they actually are. I can no longer download anything to my iPhone. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
please please please help! It says in my iPhone Free Space area on iTunes that the apps on my phone are taking up 9.20 GB when I only have one page of apps (all fairly small ones, too!). I can no longer download anything to my phone because of this, and I need help to bring my "app space" down from the incorrect number.
Hi Lisa,
Did you ever manage to resolve this issue? I"m having exactly the same issue. I have about 350MBs of App stuff on my phone but it says it's using 10gigs!!! Have no idea how to resolve this...NE ideas?

I can no longer download anything from the new style app store on 1st gen iPod touch
Whenever I click to install an app from app store the button disappears. If I click again in the general area that the button should be, I get a green empty button, if I cclick that, it turns blue but still nothing happens. On the old style app store it used to either begin unstallion or tell me that the app wasn't compatible with my device. Now I get NOTHING. Please can someone help?!
I have the same problem with my 1st gen Touch. It started a few days ago when I and many other 1st gen users noticed that we could no longer download podcasts directly to our iPods, and after a day or two that seemed to be fixed, but now the app store is broken for us. For me when I try to download an app I press the button and then the graphics for the button get all jumbled. I can see it's there but the edges and letters are all mixed up and wierd looking. It turns green like the download button, and when I push that it turns blue and then just sits there doing nothing. I know this isn't a problem with updating my software because anyone who knows anything about earlier models knows that they stopped updating the iOS for them a long long time ago. This is definitely a problem on Apples end where they've made some kind of changes to the app store that break it on earlier iPods (I saw another post from a 2nd gen user who is having the same problem). I hope Apple fixes this soon.

'Other' taking up 3.6gb on my phone, what is this and how can I get rid?
Hi guys, basically I'm trying to sync my phone with new music and upgrade to 7.0.6, but its not letting me as I apparently dont't have enough room on my phone. It is also saying that 'Other' taking up 3.6gb on my phone, what is this and how can I get rid of it? (Without losing photos etc. already on my phone)
This has been discussed many, many times on this forum.

Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a half a GB more than what it should.
For example the app Modern Combat 4 says it should only be 1.58 GB on the appstore but when i go into settings>general>usage it says it takes up 2.0 GB.
Ive tried deleting the apps and then reinstalling them but they still take up so much more space.
This happens for multiple apps of mine. Some I have never even opened before.
I have an ipod touch (4th Gen)(32GB).
I link to a mac computer.
I have IOS version 6.1.3
I noticed this a long time ago but didnt need the space, Now i need the space!!
Please help!!Because you see the file size of the compuressed file. The file gets expanded when installed and that takes up more space. Also, data is kept in the app.

I have very little space left on the hard drive on my macbook, on my storage report it says "other" is taking up more than two thirds of the space on the hardrive. How can I identify what these files are?
Hello,
There is free software you can download that gives you a graphical image of what files are used on your hard drive. http://www.derlien.com/
This may help you clean down your hard drive for more space.
Best of luck -
When i plug my iphone4 into the computer and itunes comes up, it says my "other" space is taking up about 1.94gb. what is this other and how do i reduce it to have more space on my phone?
Hi there kburgee! Other can be anything from App Data (information saved from apps like game progress, or passwords) to or old messages that you haven't deleted! The absolute best way to clean up some space is to restore your iPhone.

i upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto? I've tried putting the pictures on flashdrives, but iphoto would no tlet me transfer.
I don't know how large the SSD (solid state hard drive) is, or how big your iPhone 5 is, but with some iPhones having 64GB and some Airs having as little as 64GB and some having as much as 512GB it's not hard to see how storing the contents of your iPhone 5 on your Macbook Air could run you out of space.
Go to the Macbook Air and bring up a finder window and pull the Go menu down and go to the Computer. Right click on the Macintosh HD and select get info. See if there is any available space on the MacBook Air. If not you are out of SSD space (you're storing more on your Macbook Air than it has storage for). I'm not sure if iTunes can store its library on an external hard drive or quite how you would make that happen. But even if you managed that, when the hard drive was disconnected, you would lose access to your library. Using a smart media card might be possible (I don't know) but it would probably be irritatingly slow. If you have a small Air and a big iPhone you might just have to find a different computer to sync to. Just remember a 64GB iPhone is a big chunk of SSD for a Macbook Air. I did it with my previous and my current Air but even my previous one had 256GB and I really just fit. -
How do i create more space on my phone to install new apps?
How do i create more space on my phone to install new apps?
Clearing the system cache can help, and I would clear up the browser as well and Look at the Downloaded apps you have on your phone you can find them Via the settings and then Apps if there a re-moveable App and you don't need them any more just uninstall..
A favorite App I use and have for a long time can help keep tabs on your apps and your phone itself the battery level and Temperature this app is called SYSTEM Panel app It comes in a free version or a pay $2.99 version with a few more features added in and less Ads.. You might give it a try.! b33

I can no longer download apps that I buy. They are on my computer, they will no longer sync onto my phone. Yes, I DO know how to do it. They no longer will go onto my phone.
Did some searches, but did not come up with anything regarding your specific issue (the original one, the grey 'waiting' problem is quite common). If no other ofrum users chime in, it is indeed time to contact Apple / iTunes Store support.
If you have not yet one so, Try to Reset your device. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).
You could also try to re-download one or two apps, just to see if anything changes. Log in to the iTunes Store, go to the Purchases section and download from the list of past purchases or free apps.
Sorry I wasn't of better help. Good luck. -
I can no longer download apps on my iPod. (More info in message)
I can no longer download apps on my iPod. I recently had a card number on my iTunes account that i had to cancel and now it wants me to enter another card number so i can purchase apps. I only plan on getting free apps on my iPod and i do not want to enter my card number. Is there a way to create an account without enter my card number?
If you are curious and you want to know what iOS you are running - go to Settings>General>About>Version.
Also make sure that you transfer purchases into iTunes from your iPad via File>Transfer Purchases while the iPad is connected to your computer, with iTunes running and with your iPad selected. Also make sure that you backup your iPad by right clicking on the iPad name under devices and selecting - Backup. Copy any important files to your computer as well before you update your iPad. -
