My iPad says it doesn't have enough storage for a software update?
The update takes one gig, but I need 6GB of storage?
That's correct, after the update is downloaded and installed, it will only take up 1GB. But in order to download over the air, you need the 6.2 that it says. If you use iTunes, you will need far less free space to update.
This explains it pretty well.

Ive been trying for 2 days now to get iOS 7, I have deleted all of my apps, all of my pictures and all of my music yet it is still saying I do not have enough storage for the new update. Does anyone know how I can fix this or what might be taking up all of my storage?
What is the EXACT message you're getting?
Are you trying to update over the air or via iTunes on your computer? -
My ipad 3 says it cannot back up as there is not enough storage. my choices are "setting" or close. It will not let me select either of thes e and just goes black. I went to my MAC and increased by cloud storage but this did not seem to help
Any suggestionsReboot the iPad by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appears. That should get it operational again and you can proceed from there.

It says I don't have enough Storage, when I do! What's wrong?
I want to update an app that is 1.2 GB, and I have about 2.3 GB left, it says I don't have enough storage. What should I do? I deleted half of my apps, and I'm trying to update via iTunes on my computer, but it doesn't let me drag the updated app on my iPod.
1.1Mb is a tiny amount of space. A 16Gb iPad can store around 16,000 Mb iCloud gives you 5,000Mb by default.
It sounds like you are either misreading the figure or the error is genuine.
If it is correct you can either pay for more space or try deleting the last backup - frankly deleting backups is a terrible idea. You may be better off syncing & backing up to iTunes on a computer. -
I can't backup my iPhone 5. It says I don't have enough storage. So I've deleted like 6-7 apps and its still says I don't have enough storage. And it also says the same thing when I want to buy new apps or music. Also my messages won't send; I have to turn my phone off and resend then just to they can send. I can't even take any pictures because it says I have no storage.(I currently have 1,658 photos and 72 videos by the way.) What can I do? I just my phone in late December. I didn't think it would act up this bad before I even had it for a year. Please help.
Your phone needs more storage, buying storage on iCloud.com doesn't change that.
Delete some of the stuff off of your phone, it's full. -
Can't download movie, says I don't have enough storage.
Can't download movie, says I do not have enough storage. I just purchased 55gb's.
Do you know how many GBs or MBs it is?
But if it doesn't work, try deleting some photos or apps to free up more space. It might be bigger than you expect -
I can't update my phone or take pictures. It says I do not have enough storage available. So, I purchased more iCloud storage and it says the same thing.

Purchasing more Storage on iCloud will not increase the Storage Capacity of your iDevice.
You need to Delete Content from your iDevice...
Goto... Settings > General > Usage > Storage = Then Delete Content...
See Here > http://osxdaily.com/2013/07/24/remove-data-storage-iphone-ipad/
OR... do the Update using iTunes on your Computer.

How do I watch a iTunes tv show I downloaded when a message pops up and says I don't have enough storage to download?
Hi gregdojo,
Welcome to macbook forum.
Did you download it completely before you try to play it?
How much space left in your HD?
What about other TV shows? Try to download another one (pick one from the free section).
If other played just fine and your last download still won't play smoothly, you can contact iTunes costumer service to adjust your credit back.
Good Luck.
ps: try to update the iTunes and repair permission after that might help. -

I was trying to download the new Black Ops (Strike Team) app and when I try to download it, it says I don't have enough storage space. I made sure I had 1.31 GB of space (like it requires) but it still says I don't have enough space. I even tried to delete more 2.5 GB (I have the iPhone 4S) and the app specifically says that is is compatable with iPhone 4S. I even tried rebooting the phone a couple times before downloading, but it still says the same thing.
The app you are trying to download my be a zipped file and more space than 1.3GB. go to settings/general/usage and delete what you no longer want to make more space

Startup disk doesn't have enough memory for applications
I keep getting this message that my startup disk doesn't have enough memory for applications, and advising me to quit apps. Even after a restart I get the same message. I am using only about 10% of my hard drive and I have 4GB or RAM. I have run Disk Utility to repair permissions, I have confirmed that my MacintoshHD is the startup drive, but still keep getting this message. I am running Snow Leopard on a three-year old iMac. What gives?
Startup disks don't provide memory, RAM modules do. When the machine runs out of usable RAM, it uses disk space for virtual memory. Step one would be to run the Apple Hardware Test program, extended tests, and ensure that your RAM is viable. If the RAM passes those tests, download, and run Rember.
