My iPad keeps saying that there isn't enough local storage to download an app
I have rebooted, reset, synced, deleted more than enough things to make space (1.7gb app with 3.8gb of open space.
I'd rather not restore if possible.
Any ideas?
The 1.7GB is the download file compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
Cheers, Tom

I Have bought extra iCloud storage, I have 23GB of storage left but when I try to update fifa13 it says there's isn't enough local storage?!?!
Thay's correct. Buying iCloud storage does not increase the local storage capacity of your iPad.
Your iPad will always have the 16, 32 or 64GB of storage you bought it with.
iCloud storage is space on Apple's iCloud servers - not on your device.
You'll need to clear some space on your iPad to make room for apps. -
I'm trying to download an update for FIFA 13 for my iPhone. My storage says I have around 3.2Gb of local storage space available. The update is 1Gb but when I try to download it, it says I don't have enough space. Why is this happening?
Becasue you do not have enough space available.
It can take much more space that the size of the app to install.
Update on your compter, then sync, if you do not want to create more space -

HT3986 Why my Boot Camp keep saying that there is no USB device connected ?
I use Mac Air, and with a external CD device. When I try to install Window 7, it keep saying that there is no USB device connected when there is.
Unfortunately not all external CD drives work the same, have you tried another cable or used another slot?
Have you tried using a USB flash drive? You should have an option now in Boot Camp Assistant to install the W7 installer onto a USB drive as well as the Boot Camp drivers. -

I have the iphone 4 and i'm trying to update it but it keeps saying that there is a connection error. I have Windows and Itunes version 10.5.1. Please Help
If you're getting a network connection timeout error when downloading the iPhone's iOS update, then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.

I am nearly out of iCloud storage but I have over 3 gb on my iPad. I just bought a game that requires 1.5 gb but will not download to my iPad because it says that there's not enough storage in the cloud. Why can't I just download the game to my iPad?
That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

I'm trying a full restore in Lion, but it won't. States that there isn't enough space on the Mac HD. How do I restore everything from a recent Time Machine Backup?
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...

My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and icloud cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud Storage & Backup in my settings, it says that I have 5.0 GB total and 5.0 GB available. The only thing I have selected, at this point, to be backed up are my contacts and the Find My iPhone app. Why does it always say I have no icloud storage available when I have ALL of the icloud storage available?!
It says that my next backup size is 7.3 GB, but I have no idea why, because the only thing selected is the Find iPhone app, which takes up 0.2 KB...How do I get rid of whatever it THINKS it's backing up?

When i sync my iphone it says that there is not enough room in my itunes library what do I do?
When I try to sync my iPhone with iTunes, it says that there is not enough room in my itunes library for my phone to sync. Why is this? Do I need to delete stuff off my library? Or is my laptop too full? Or is it that my phone hasn't got enough space? ...Or something else?
Why is this so difficult to figure out?
The message is quite clear. The size of the iTunes library is larger than the space available on the device.
Stop attempting to sync the entire library to the device.
Select the desired content to sync to the device.
Sync. -
