My app says it can't install because there isn't enough space, but there is

I am trying to install knights of the old republic, the app says it needs less than 2gb and I have 4.5gb available. When I go to install the app it stops and says there is not enough space and send me to settings to free up space. How can I get this app installed?

By Freeing up some more space.
Most Apps require 2 to 3 times the advertised size to download and install.

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???

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...

Can't recreate iphoto library from time machine. Sais there is not enough space where there is more double.

Recover the iphoto library to a different location eg, a USB drive.. since there could be issues with the new photo app.

Look at the USB stick in Disk Utility and check whether it may be partitioned or have other software on it taking up space.

My iTunes Library is on my computer, I have done a backup manually, and all of my music is on an external hard drive (as well as my iTunes library).

Thanks a lot Recycle bin is empty, I will move some files from the C drive to an external hard drive, then do the update, and then move the files back. Any files you recommend not moving to the external hard drive at all?

My 5 year old MacBook Air is telling me it "cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit mail, delete files you don't need, then reopen mail." What is "home folder," and which files to delete?

The home folder is where all of your personal files are kept.
Best candidates to delete are movies, videos, music and photos since they generally take the most space.
Don't forget to empry the Trash after you delete the file because the space is not returned until the Trash is emptied.

HT201210 Trying to restore a new iphone 4 to files from an iphone 3, however, the restore says it can't complete because there isn't enough space. I would like to delete photos and music files. How can I delete these photos?

After doing the initial restore function, I'm trying to delete phots from the system. The itures instructions says to click the photos button the unselect photos or albums, but see no photos button. How can I delete the photos to gain some storage space?

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

I want to get Madden 12 at the app store and the size is 303 MB, when i try to buy it said there is not enough space but when i look at settings usage it says i have 579 MB available. What do I do????????

I want to get Madden NFL 12 at the app store. The app size is 303 MB. When i try to buy it it says thier is not enough space to download it, but when i go to settings it says thier is 579 MB available Space left.

To download an install an app requires free space that is between two and three times the download file size. You ned to free up more storage space.

After iOS 5 installed, I can't sync my phone because it says there isn't enough room. There was plenty before.

In the Summary on iTunes it says I now have 8 GB of Other, that I didn't have previously. That's half my memory and I have no idea what it is. Also, I don't need Newsstand, YouTube, or Videos and can't seem to delete them. Could they be taking up that much space? Please help.

As a note, you won't be able to delete Newsstand, YouTube, or Video because they're native apps. BUT they also shouldn't take up much room at all. Video and Newsstand will if you have content stored in them, but you likely don't if you don't need them.

Hi, I'm trying to download widgets for dashboard. Seems every widget I try either says it can't find the server or says it can't install because its from an unknown developer. It's on the apple site so I'm a little confused. I've tried like 15.

So does anyone know or have the same issue. It seems a little odd.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you download a widget, you are getting a message telling you that it's not from an identified developer. This message is caused by Gatekeeper > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5290?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can fix this issue by two ways:
1. Right-click the widget and choose "Open".
2. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General, and tick "Anywhere" under "Allow applications downloaded from"

Certain sites and add-ons say I can't run because I am running 3.0, but I am not, am running current version 3.6. Why??

Happened when I tried to run Constant Contact recently, then again today when trying to load FF pop up block add-on

What does "74559.emlx" couldn't be copied to "Messages" because there isn't enough space, really mean? How do I find out what is taking up so much space?

Help!! I am trying to figure out what "74559.emlx" is. I was delating a email message when this poped up!? I higlighed the message and then hit the delete button.
I understand that my computer is full, so now I am trying to move this over to an external hard-drive, how do I know if it's been moved or just copied? How can I see what is on the computer and how "big" it is?
Sorry for all the questions, ANY help is much appreciated!!!

"Other" is everything that isn't in one of the other categories. For instance, it includes all your user documents that are not movie, audio, or photo files.
Regardless of that, you need to use an external drive at least large enough to backup your entire user folder (the one with a House icon). Better is to get one at least as large as your built-in drive & use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to clone the whole built-in drive to it.
