It says there isn't enough storage on my iphone to take photos or update apps but there is?

I keep trying to take photos and update apps but my phone keeps telling me there's not enough storage.
In my settings on iCloud it says there is 15GB storage with 8.6GB available though?

Hi
Thanks for replying. In general it says 10.1MB available, 13.5GB used
Does this mean I've got to delete my photos and other stuff off to make some room?

iCloud backups only give you 5GB free if your backup is larger then 5GB then you need to purchased more storage.

HT4623 I lost my apps and iTunes after a restore, but it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone 4. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos, but I'm still getting the same message.

I did an iphone 4 software update. It then asked me to do a "restore" in order for me to be able to use the latest iTunes. I did a "restore" to "factory settings" (this was the only option listed) thinking I'd be able to sync later and get everything back and ended up losing all my purchased apps and iTunes. When I open iTunes, "Welcome to your new iphone" and it says I can re-do the "restore" and choose my lastest update. I assume this will give me back my apps and iTunes. When i choose to do this, it says there isn't enough space on the iPhone. How do I know how much space needs to be freed up? I keep deleting photos and videos from the phone, but I'm still getting the same message every time I re-try. I don't want to delete everything, but I don't know what to do...? Thanks!

Thanks but I think it has something to do with the 'restore'. in the newest iTunes 11, when I click on the tab "iphone", it redirects me to the "welcome to your new iphone" page and asks about doing a 'restore'. I already did a 'restore', but it went to the original factory settings and I want to 'restore' to my lastest back up as of April 12. When I choose that option, it says my iphone doesn't have enough space. I don't know how much I need to delete in order to make it work. I've deleted lots, but it only has 4.1 GB available. I'm not sure why this isn't enough to do a 'restore'. I don't want to delete all my photos and videos, but maybe I will have to?...7.7GB is used up for that. I can't sync or do ANYTHING...

How do I cancel a download for a rented iTunes movie because there isn't enough storage space

How do I cancel a download for a rented iTunes movie because there isn't enough storage space?

Purchases cannot be cancelled, but if you cannot clear enough space to allow the download, go here:

and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps there will be something they can do for you.

My iCloud says there isn't enough storage space

I've deleted all my music 300 photos and all apps and it still exactly the same!!? About to smash my phone.

If iCloud says there is not enough storage, manage the storage on iCloud. THis does not include any media.

HT4847 my iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take photos/videos, etc. My icloud is on for photos/videos. Can I safely delete them on my phone to make storage room knowing I can access them on my icloud?

My iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take more photos/videos, download apps, etc. I do have my photos/videos ON for icloud sync but not sure if I can safely delete them from my iphone to make room. And if I can delete them from my phone how do I access them on my icloud? I logged in for the first time and do not see where to access photos/videos?

You can't just store photos on icloud. They can be included as part of a backup or when using photo stream to sync photos from one device to another, but 1) photo stream keeps photos for up to 30 days after which they are deleted from the servers, and 2) never rely on a backup to icloud as a way of storing photos. (When photos are deleted from the device, they are no longer on recent backups, and older backups get deleted in short time.)
When it comes to photos, users should sync them to a computer for archiving. Then they can delete the photos from the device, as the computer will have copies.
Photos in backups on icloud cannot be viewed on icloud.
Read this... import photos to your computer...

I replaced a 5C with another 5C, but the new says there isn't enough storage to download all my apps or update IOS. Why would it be different if it's the same phone? I deleted several apps to try to make more room but it still isn't working.

Hi CBarreca,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have a new iPhone that is giving you storage space warnings when trying to add all of your content back to it. In this situation I would recommend using the attached article to help figure out where the storage on your iPhone is being used.
See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

I'm getting my iPhone replaced tomorrow and my iCloud won't backup as apparently there isn't enough storage. I have deleted over 500 pictures and 6 apps, but still won't?

My phone's going to be replaced at the Apple store tomorrow for reasons that don't make a difference to this, and my iPhone hasn't been backed up since the 16th of May! Everytime I plug in my phone it says 'Not Enough Storage' 'Please delete some of your storage to make room for backup' I have made LOADS of room. I generally delete loads of photo's everyday to try and make enough space. On storage, I've got 7.3 GB Available, and I've used 6.2 GB. It says, there needs to be an additional 5.1 GB of storage required to back up my iPhone. This can't be right, and I'm clueless?
If I go into the shop tomorrow and they replace my phone, my data will be lost?
And I can't complain about this tomorrow because they won't be able to do anything?

You gotta remember that iCloud is backing up the entire phone. So if you delete stuff it still might not be enough. You have to options. Buy more storage or back it up to a computer because apple won't be able to back it up for you.
Best of luck!

I recently had to get my iPhone 4s replaced. The old phone was backed up to ICloud. I get a message when I plug this one in that it is not backed up and there isn't enough storage left to back it up. How to I remove from the other phone so I can back th

I am trying to back up my new Iphone on to ICloud. It shows I dont have enough storage because it still has stuff from the old IPhone. How can I back up this phone and erase from the other. Apple kept the other phone when they replaced it. If I hit the delete storage for the other phone (which shows up on the Icloud Icon on this phone) will I lose everything on this phone? That's what I want to avoid....

If it's corrupt, generally it would be lost.
However, there is third-party software out there that can retrieve some of the data, those of which however I could not recommend as I have never done so myself.
Also, if the old 4S was running a more recent software version than the current 4S, that may cause the issue however usually iTunes tells you exactly that.
Good luck in retrieving that information.

I got a new phone and it won't back up anything on to my icloud because it says there isn't enough storage space, can I delete old back ups?

I am not good with technology at all. I upgraded my 3GS to a 4S and now it won't back up to my iCloud. it keeps telling me that the icloud is full and I don't have enough room to back it up.I was wondering if there is away to delete the old back ups in order to free up space?

If you no longer need the backups, you can delete them by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of device you want to delete the backup for (under Backups at the top), then tap Delete Backup. This will permanently delete it from your account, freeing up the storage it occupies.

HT201272 I bought a movie with my iphone and it can't download because it says there isn't enough storage. What do I do?

I have an ipod touch 5th generation, bought a new laptop and authorised it. when i try to sync it says it's not possible because there isn't enough space to hold everything in the itunes library.it won't give me the option of choosing what i want to sync.

I have an ipod touch 5th generation 64g . Just bought a new laptop and authorised it to use itunes library. When i try and sync my ipod it says it can't do it because there isn't enough space on my ipod to hold everything in the itunes library. I already know that i can't fit everything on my ipod but when using my old laptop i was able to choose what i wanted to sync. Now i don't seem to have the option of choosing what i can sync, it just refuses to do it as there isn't enough space. Why is this???

Can anyone help? I've just got my new iphone 6. I'm restoring from the icloud but it's saying there's not enough storage for my photos....and I'm unable to access any images. Help appreciated

Hi,
I've just moved on from an iphone 5 to an iphone 6.
I'm now on my second attempt at restoring it through the icloud.
My photos and videos are unavailable and it keeps saying I'm low on storage. At this stage it just keeps saying it's updating but it's been saying that for 8 hours and I still don;t have any photos available....any advice appreciated. It's getting a little frustating
Thanks,
Emma

The backup cannot be restored to the iPhone if there is not enough storage space available.

How can I stop a movie from downloading? There is no place to cancel it. It's been trying to download for 3 days and my iPad says there is not enough storage .

How can I cancel a movie that has been trying to download for. 3 days? When I click on ITunes ,it says I don't have enough space. I tried to buy more and it went to the iCloud. Does anyone know how to cancel that movie?

I'm sure that you know by now but buying iCloud storage didn't do you any good. iCloud storage is for backups, and can't be used for local storage and that is where you needed the storage.
Have you tried deleting content on the iPad so that the download will resume? Settings>General>Usage>Storage. You can delete movies, TV Shows, and apps in there via the Edit button. You can download most purchased content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. Delete it now, and download it again later when you need it. Bear in mind that whe. You delete apps, you delete the data in the apps as well.
You might be able to pause the movie download by going to the Downloads tab in iTunes - tap on the movie icon and see if it will pause. Or try swiping across the progress bar to see if you can delete the download.

It says there isn't enough storage on my iphone to take photos or update apps but there is?
