Memory on iPhone 4S

I have an iphone 4Gs - 32GB.  I recently purchased a movie on iTunes but did not have enough memory, so I erased a few movies and a bunch of apps until it said I had enough.  Half way through, there was an error saying that I did not have enough.  I tried to erase more stuff and then noticed that the used memory + free memory didn't add up to 32GB, it was more like 24GB. 
How come I can't successfully download the movie if it said I had enough space?  Help please!!
Thanks!

Will this mean when I re-sync my iPhone with the latest backup, will it go back to the exact same way it was before I restored? Like will all my texts, contacts, etc be there?

    You will need to delete some stuff unfortunately.

  • How to reduce "other" in itunes memory on iphone?

    how to reduce "other" in itunes memory on iphone?  The amount of memory is increasing to point i have no more memory.  Most of this is in iphone "other".  How do I reduce this?

    Not if you sync regularly. And have set up the phone to sync to contact and calendar apps on your computer as explained in the manual.

  • 2 questions; how to erase "other memory" on iphone 5 and how to sync to a new computer

    Apple support is failing to help my issues so I thought its best to turn to the community. OK so I've talked to Apple before about my "other memory" and I performed a soft reset on my phone and it decreased other memory by maybe a gig. A month later now its higher than it was before at over 5.6 gigs, any way how to make it as little as possible?
    Also I just got a new macbook pro and I use to sync my iphone 5 to my macbook (2008), how do I make my macbook pro my primary itunes and still keep all my info on my phone? My new macbook pro itunes says its backed up, but when I plug it in it won't sync any new songs or app data to my itunes, etc.
    Any help with these issues will much be appreciated!!

    "Other" is all of the data for all of the built in apps. If you delete its contents all of your built in app data will disappear. Some of what is contained in other:
    email messages and attachments
    Reminders
    Calendar entries
    Contacts
    Text messages
    MMS messages and attachments
    Genius data
    Music cover art
    Operating system settings
    Safari cache
    bookmarks
    Game Center status
    Music catalog
    Probably a few I've missed. There was a problem in an earlier version where deleted MMS messages left behind their attachments, but that has been fixed as of 6.1. Some people suggest deleting your music on the phone. DON'T DO IT! The reason that deleting music recovers some Other space is because it deletes cover art. But is also screws up your music, which will no longer play correctly.
    You will find posts from people who said they recovered over 1 GB of space by just deleting old text messages.
    If you want Other to be smaller you will have to keep less data on your phone; delete old MMS and texts, delete old email (especially from the "deleted" folder), clear the cache, eliminate cover art.
    Your Other is so large, however, that there may be corrupt data contained in it (unless you send a lot of MMS messages with large attachments). If this is the case you should restore the phone as New.
    =====================
    For your other question, the easiest way is to copy your iTunes library folder from the old computer to the new computer. For the hard way, see: Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • Dropbox Using Memory on iPhone 5c

    Hi all,
    I have just seen under settings->general->usage->manage storage that my Dropbox is using up 440MB of memory on my iPhone 5c.
    I thought all of the files are stored in the cloud?
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to clear this amount of data? I have tried switching my phone off and on again to clear the cache but the data is still there!
    Thanks
    Chris

  • Running out of memory on iPhone

    hi all,
    when my Flash app is just getting started on the iPhone 3G, it runs out of memory.  I see this in the crash report:  "Count resident pages" is "11727 (jettisoned) (active)." 
    How do I prevent this?
    If it's relevant, my app has lots of graphics and audio, and I'm guessing it's all being loaded upfront.  But it's presented sequentially, so maybe I can just load one set of assets at a time.  Is there some way to break it up?
    thanks

  • PLEASE APPLE - Give us Expandable Memory in iPhone

    I would LOVE to be able to have only 1 device to serve the purposes of phone, music and camera. But, I'm a music junkie and have SO much more than 32GB of music to put on an iPhone. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us the ability to add memory to the next iPhone generation...

    I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for Apple to do this. Apple hasn't done so with any iPod in the history of the iPod, so I doubt this is likely with the iPhone.
    I currently have "only" 834 songs available on my iPhone. To listen to every song straight through, it would take me 2&1/2 days to listen to each song once - that is 2&1/2 - 24 hour days with "only" 823 songs. There are many iPod owners that have more songs in their iTunes library that will fit on their iPod and/or iPhone that have survived by making use of iTunes playlists and/or with smart playlists.

  • How to delet 'other' memory from iphone

    My iphone works fine, but I have a problem with the memory of my 8gb phone, i have 2.2 gb of music and one app thats 9mb and when i try to download another app it says i do not have enough memories, i go to seetings to see whats wrong then it says thats 4.3 gb is other? How do I delet the other memory i am not using.

    Good day all,
    I have a 4S that had 5+G of "other" that I was trying to free up.  I searched and searched, tried all the suggestions and had no success.  I tried a full restore and freed up the memory but didn't want to loose all my settings, app folders, etc.  After a process of elimination the solution that worked for me was to delete txt messages!  When I went from the 3G to the 4S I restored from a back up.  I've never delete any of my txt message history...  so all that information, photos, videos, etc were being caried from one device to the other for like 3 years!
    I started with a test.  Pluged in my 4S, synced it.  Registered 5.2GB of "other".  I ejected the phone from itunes.  I deleted my wifes txt message (with whom I txt the most).  I plugged back in and "other" dropped down by an entire Gig!!  So, I tried again with another that I txt often...  and sure enough when down another Gig.
    So, I decided to take the plug and start off fresh...  I deleted ALL of my txt messages and my "other" memory went down to .52gigs!
    This is why a FULL restore has been successful for those trying to clear out "other" memory.  When you initiate a Full restore, you are cleaning out your entire memory of txt messages which includes large files of photos and videos!
    So this is what worked for me folks!  I hope it helps someone!

  • Increase memory of iphone

    Hello,
    can i increase my Iphone memory ? Now it's 16GB but want more

    No.
    You'll have to buy a new phone as the iphones "memory" is designed to be not serviceable.
    Swapping flash drives in the iPhone is a dangerous and challenging (read: virtually impossible by virtue of design) process.

  • Release memory in iPhone SDK

    Hi,
    1. I want to release previous memory before I redraw the screen. Is this the right way to do it using iPhone SDK?
    [self.securityCodeView release];
    self.securityCodeView = [[SecurityCodeView alloc] initWithFrame:Frame];
    [self addSubview:securityCodeView];
    [\b]
    2. How do I refresh the screen without having to ALLOC memeory again? For example, I draw the screen ([self addSubview:securityCodeView]) and after one second, the screen needs to be redrawn (what statement to use?).
    3. How do you retain some UIViews without redrawing since they don't need to be redrawn again (what statement to use)? For example, backgroundView needs not to be redrawn.
    Thank you.

    I would suggest you read the docs on Memory Management on Obj-C. Basically anything you allocate explicitly will remain allocated (with a ref count of 1) until you explicitly do a release:
    [myView release];
    When you add a view to another view's subview, that view's ref count is incremented. So you can safely release the added view and yet use the references to the object throughout the code (as long as the parent view is not released/deallocated).

  • Iphone memory "other, Iphone memory "other"

    I have a 8GB iPhone 4 that I have been having issues with its memory lately. I have noticed that I have 2.1 GB taken up by a file named "other". I just reset my iPhone to the factory setting the other day, yet it is still at 2.1 GB of the "other" file already. I am wondering if there is anything else I can do to fix this issue?

    You say youve reset your phone to factory settings, do you mean restore? Anything over around 1gb of other memory, normally represents corrupt files, In order to alleviate them you should connect to itunes and do a restore from your backup. If that does not fix then you will need to restore your phone as new in itunes.

  • IPhone.... well ALL APPLE PRODUCTS... missing memory (8GB iPhone)

    have you ever had a iPod, and noticed it had less memory than you payed for?? go to "about" on any apple product wiith storage, and i gaurentee that it has less than it claims. my 4G nano has 3.6 GB, my 8GB iphone has 7.3 GB (if you have a MAC mini than i gaurentee there is at least 2GB missing. tell me, why does apple do this?? for the operating system? it shouldnt be that way if iPhone takes .7 GB to function then they should really make a 8.7GB model and hide the .7GB ..........

    nick0HHHlass,
    There is two things at work here. One, is the difference between 1000, and 1024, carried out to several factors, as well as space needed for the software for the computer or the iPhone. This article discusses it, as well as my own explanation below:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30065
    So first off, an 8GB iPhone has flash storage memory with at 8,000,000,000 bytes. When the drive is labeled, that is rounded off to 8GB because when labeled they use 1000 bytes per kilobyte, and 1000 kilobytes per megabyte, and 1000 megabytes for gigabyte. However, when a computer looks at a device it looks at it by powers of 2. This applies to any storage drive whether its intended for a Mac, PC, server, iPod, etc.
    A computer divides the 8,000,000,000 bytes by 1024 to get kilobytes, then by 1024 to get megabytes, and then by 1024 to get gigabytes. So that it is reported at around 7.5 GB. Then from that there is space used for the software to run your iPhone. This is the same with any computer. Look at the hard drive properties (Windows-based PC) or Get Info (Mac). Disk utility gives more information than get info. For example the iMac I am using has a drive with 160,041,885,696 Bytes, but after formatting it is reported as 148.9 GB (159,907,630,080 Bytes). This article contains the same information in regards to iPod drives:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60955
    Second, more is space is lost for the data needed "format" or organize the drive. The space used for the formatting becomes less efficient as the drive gets larger, so its not a set percentage. This article discusses efficiency in formatting as drive sizes get bigger:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=8647
    Additional space is used for the iPhone's own software. This is the same with any computer.
    Other things that may take up additional space, pre-installed software beyond the OS on a computer typically ranges between 5-25 GB currently. In addition some Windows-based PCs may have additional space in a hidden "restore" partition used for reinstalling software.
    Hope this helps to explain,
    Nathan C.

  • HT201656 Clearing "Other" Memory off iPhone 4

    I was trying to do the new iOS7 update and saw I didn't have enough memory. Long story short, I basically deleted everything from my phone and still nothing. I then hooked up to iTunes and saw that I had 4.4GB of "other" memory. How do I clear that? There are lots of threads of this topic already but no real clear answer. Lots of different comments and options.

  • Available memory on iphone

    i want to buy the 4gb iphone because it is only $300. i do have a question. the 4gb that is advertised, is the entire 4gb available for data storage like movies and music OR does the OS and all the programs use part of the 4gb and leave you with say like 3 gb of available memory?
    thanks

    From what I understand, the iPhone operating system takes around 300+ Mb. The rest of the storage is for whatever is needed: music, videos, email, text messages, etc. So the answer to your question is, yes, the OS does take up some of the proprietary storage space.
