Memory on the iphone

Sounds like a dumb questions, but I'm assuming the only thing that takes up the memory on the phone is music, etc. Contact are put on the sim card that is separate memory? Pleae correct me if i'm wrong.
Thanks

The iPhone does not store anything on the SIM card. Everything is stored in the iPhone internal memory. You can see your available memory and how its being used by looking at the bottom of the iTunes window when the iPhone is connected. You can see how much space each category of data/media is taking up. Enjoy!

  • What are reviews from folks who have 128 Gb memory in the IPhone 6 or 6+?

    What are your impressions of the IPhone 6 or 6+ with 128 Gb memory?  Is is worth the extra money over the 64Gb memory?  I'm going to replace my IPhone 5 next month and will move up to either 6.

    Agree there is not a scam going on. (note; you have probably not traded in an iphone 4s to Verizon before that was in great condition and had them give you $15.00 for it.) I am not trying to be offensive to you at all. This is not a personal issue. You are correct Verizon is a large company, that by the way is not loosing money or strapped to the point they could not afford to put things in place to better handle the "COMMUNICATION" of these pre-orders. There are customers who are just mad and claiming scams. My complaint is completely with the poor management of these orders and not having proper communication that should be expected of a company this size and stature. It is strictly a business that is not the best at keeping accurate information to their customers.
    I hope no one takes offense to my comments, including people at Verizon.

  • Can I securely wipe the flash memory in the iPhone?

    Hello:
    Is there any way to SECURELY wipe the free space on the iPhone (ala DOD Wipe or Gutmann). Perhaps through an app or something. I have a program on my laptop that would do it but Windows 7 will not recognize the phone as a drive, only as an attached device.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    The iphone does NOT support disk mode and does NOT behave as a flash drive when connected to your computer.
    You would have to use the erase all content and settings feature on the iphone. This is covered in the manual -page 201:
    "Erase all content and settings: Connect iPhone to your computer or a power adapter. Choose General > Reset and tap “Erase All Content and Settings.”
    This resets all settings, and erases all your information and media by removing the encryption key to the data (which is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption)."

  • HT201269 I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6. Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?

    I am trying to save memory on my iPhone 4S/ ios6.
    1) Can I back up all photos to icloud and the external hard disk I normally use for photos? If I then delete photos from the iPhone do the get deleted on iCloud?
    2) Can I back up the newsstand to iCloud and save memory on the iPhone?
    3) Can I back up the bookshelf to icloud and save memory on the iPhone?

    1. What format is the external drive? It sounds like it's ina format that Macs can't write to. Is it a NAS or NTFS?
    2. Easiest thing: just move your iPhoto Library to the external
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • How to Reset without turning the iphone 5 on

    Hello, i managed to submerge my iphone 5 in water and it will no longer turn on or recognize any sort of charge.  I would like to send it in for a replacement.  Unfortunately, there are files on the iphone which i am legally obligated NOT to share or disburse, regardless of Apple's policy of alleged deletion upon receipt.  Is there any way to permanently wipe the memory of the iphone 5 without activating it?

    Unless you drop the very large magnet on the iPhone, it will have no effect.

    You do the opposite of how you got them on your phone, you unsync the pics using iTunes.

  • I have an ipod touch but i don't have enough memory and 0I get an upgrade soon for my phone and i want the iphone but the thing is, can i have an ipod touch and an iphone on the same itunes account like can i use my money on my ipod account for my iphone

    Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account.  Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices.  You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

  • I want to buy a ipod as my iphone as no memory from all of my music, is there a way of transferring the music from the iphone to the ipod? i dont want to have to re download or buy all of the music again!

    i want to buy a ipod as my iphone as no memory from all of my music, is there a way of transferring the music from the iphone to the ipod? i dont want to have to re download or buy all of the music again! Don't want to buy a ipod then find out this! Please help!

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases directly to the iPod by:        
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise you will have to sync from your iTunes library.

  • If i can't increase the memory on an iphone, how do i NOT upload my entire itunes library?

    hi,
    i'm new to this whole smartphone thing.  but i've run into this frustration and can't seem to find my way around it.
    every time i hook up my phone - iphone 4 - to my computer - macbook 10.7 - they try to sync, and now i don't like having them both on the same wifi because they 'update' behind my back.  i don't want 3 days worth of music on my phone.  i would rather have more room on the phone for other stuff - apps and whatnot.
    i've set every checkbox i can find to NOT sync, and to NOT update, but  they do it anyway.  the songs that haven't been copied in their entirety  have left a place-saver of sorts - a ghost that seems to interfere with  playback of songs in a modified album, or if i just try to play from  the library - which i do, sometimes.
    someone on another post said that since you can't upgrade the memory on an iphone, that they should just delete some music, but it doesn't seem to let me - it puts it there without my permission, and even now that i've deleted all the music from the phone, the library is still full of all these 'ghost' songs that i don't know how to be rid of.
    thanks,
    nate.

    Now, one at a time:
    On Mac:
         Do you have the latest iTunes 11.0.4? If not download it here http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
         Switch on  iTunes menu > View > Show Sidebar
         Connect and select iPhone under DEVICES in iTunes Sidebar.
         Go through the tabs (top right pane) Summary, Info, Apps, etc.
         and select and de-select what you want on iPhone.
         When finished, click Apply button (bottom right) and then click Sync.

  • The iPhone could not be restored. There is not enough memory available.

    Hi guys,
    you all seem the be fairly acquainted with all possible iPhone problems. I was searching this forum for an answer to my problem. iTunes won't restore my iPhone because of an error mentioned in the title of this topic - The iPhone could not be restored. There is not enough memory available. I haven't found anything on the net that I haven't tried yet.
    Am using Windows XP, iTunes 7.4.3 and the iPhone used to be on the firmware 1.0.2. I was trying to do the restore but it gave me that error message. I tryed uninstalling everything with WinASO registry cleaner, iTunes, apple device thing(or whatever), installed it 3 times, tried to force the previous firmware with Shift+restore, but nothing. I also tried to switch USB ports. I followed the instruction on how to remove iTunes exactly like it was described in another thread - no success.
    Is there any help you can maybe provide, but don't tell me to go/send it to an Apple Store, since I live in Europe, where there is no official iPhone yet.
    PLease help

    Hi,
    is there a newer version of iTunes than 7.4.3, which I am already using ?
    I don't think so.
    And no, the iPhone has not been hacked before, I was using it like iPod, internet browser and stuff. But no calls.
    My version of iTunes say 7.4.3.1.
    I assume that by saying that your iPhone has not been hacked before means "it has never been hacked."
    Are you paying AT&T for monthly service?
    I would still try to download a fresh copy of iTunes if possible.
    If it does not work, I think that you need to take the iPhone back to the Apple Store or call AppleCare for assistance. The store, and AppleCare, has a number of software tools to potentially diagnose the problems you are encountering.

  • My iPhone won't open photo library, email, email settings, app store, and most of my apps--basically anything relating to the memory of the phone. Any ideas about what to do?

    Ever since I few days ago, whenever I try to access these applications, it takes abot 10-15 seconds to load and then shuts down and shoots me back the home screen. I'm pretty savvy with my phone, and usually can figure these things, but honestly have no clue what to do.

    Clear background memory then Reset. Press Home button twice quickly. In now row of icons at bottom of screen, tap and hold on an icon until you get the Red Minus Sign. Then tap all the Red Minus Signs to delete background memory. When done with all, then Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off" let the iPhone restart itself. Usually takes about 10 seconds of holding both buttons.

  • Does the iPhone 4 have less memory?

    I just switched from the 3G-s to the 4, but the new iPhone 4 will not allow me to put as much music and photos as I had on the 3G-s. Does the iPhone 4 have less usable memory? It seems to have about a gigabyte less? Thank you for your advice.

    Thanks. I made that assumption, and when I checked further, the difference is about a third of gig. So I did a comparison to what was on the the 3G-s and there are 2303 songs that take up 11.6GB of space. The same number of songs take up 12.6Gb of space on the iphone 4. The photos, however are a big difference, the same photos on the 3G-s take up .97Gb, and on the iPhone 4, 7.9Gbs for the same photos. Why the differences in how much space it taken up? Anyone know?

  • I rented a movie in itunes and after time of rental expired the movie still is using the memory of my iphone how I can liberate this memory???

    I rented a movie in itunes after 48 of rental  and the movie apparently is not in my device  still is using the memory of my iphone (4GB)...I tried to delete it thru itunes but not worked...what else can do???

    I finally called Apple Support to get the answer to this question.
    1st, make sure you are signed in on your computer under the Apple ID that purchased the movie.
    2nd.  Go into the summary page of your device on ITunes. Near the bottom you will see "options".  In that section you will see "manually manage music and videos".  Select that option.
    3rd.  Then go to the "On this Phone" click the RENTAL sub section under your device. This depends on the version of ITunes you are using.
    4th. Right click the movie you want to delete.  The popup box with the delete option should appear.
    5th  After it deletes (which will take quite a while) remember to go back into Options and uncheck the option for"manually manage music and videos".
