My iPhone 3GS  is close to running out of memory space,  would Dropbox  work

I am running out of storage and memory on my iPhone  3GS so if I use the Dropbox to store some of the data online so I can relieve some of the storage. Problems ? How do I get this to work and start it.   

If you have Time Machine enabled, then those are Time Machine snapshots. They will be deleted automatically if the space is needed. You can also do this:
About Time Machine local snapshots
Time Machine Snapshots
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and enter or paste the appropriate command line. Press RETURN and enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed. Press RETURN again.
     To turn them ON: sudo tmutil enablelocal
     To turn them OFF: sudo tmutil disablelocal
Note that turning them OFF will also delete all existing snapshots.
For more about snapshots see: OS X Mountain Lion- About local snapshots.

    No change if I reboot the phone. The only thing that works is to reinstall the phone in iTunes, but the problem soon comes back.

  • I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone?

    I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)

    You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
    Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone.

    thanks

    You can't use icloud to store photos.  There's a service called photo stream which is used to sync photos from one device to another, but this can't be used to store photos permanently.
    Always sync photos from a device to your computer,  Then you can delete them from the device.
    Read this...  import photos to your computer...

  • I have just updated my 4s to IOS7. and now my battery discharge is significantly increase. With my Iphone fully charged, the battery run out within 6 hours without using the phone at all. Would it be possible to get the IOS 6.1.3 back to my 4S?

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

  • 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

  • How can i "find my iphone" if the charge has run out so the "lost phone" can't be ONLINE?

    How can I "Find my iphone" if the charge has run out so the phone that is lost can't be ONLINE?

    You can't.  Place it in lost mode and it will be implemented if and when the lost device is recharged by someone and connects to the internet.

  • Iphone: You are running out of disk space

    I have 7.3 Gb free disk space but sometimes the iphone shows error message
    " Warning: You are running out of disk space. Please delete some photos or videos."
    any idea ?

    If you have 7.3 GB of available free space on your iPhone, this indicates you have not transferred any data from your computer to your iPhone except for maybe contact information, etc.
    Since you have no data to speak of available on your iPhone, the standard troubleshooting steps in order are power the iPhone off/on, Reset, Restore and if no change after any or all, call AppleCare or make an appointment at a local Apple Store if there is one nearby.

  • My iphone 4s gets hot and runs out of battery very quickly

    My iphone 4s gets hot and runs out of battery very quickly

    you should avoid keeping it in extreme temperatures, use it as little as possible, and avoid overcharging which means that you should unplug your iphone as soon as it hits 100% battery

    Have you checked how much space the backup will need.

  • My mac's run out of memory and I can't find the culprit!

    Hi, I'm in serious need of some help! I'm sure this is simple, but I'm about to break down over it – I use my mac for everything. I've got a 200gb 2009 macbook (running iOS7), and it's told me it's run out of memory. The storage tab in 'about this mac' tells me 108GB is being used for video – but I can't find them! My iPhoto has about 17GB of movies, my iTunes has around 20GB, and I've got maybe another 10GB in files within finder – but that's still only half the videos my mac is saying it has? How do I find the rest? I've got 80GB being used by 'other' as well – is that just pages and numbers documents, along with the iOS? Is there a way of finding exactly what all my memory's being allocated to?
    I've got the entire mac backed up on an external hard drive, but I'm terrified of deleting anything from the mac in case that fails. I plan on getting a second external HD, but even then I think I'll be too worried (I've heard about so many hard drives continuously failing). How does anyone manage all their stuff?!?
    Thank you in advance, for any help you can offer.

    Just a slight correction to start, you're not running iOS 7. You're running a version of OS X, iOS is for mobile devices like iPhones and iPads. To find out which version OS OS X you're running click the Apple menu at the top left and select About This Mac.
    This http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html should help you understand "Other".

  • I am using iphone 3gs since last 4 days. Till yesterday night it was working fine and i have connected this phone for charging . Morning there was apple logo in the screen and every 1mte (approx) it is blinking. I could not restart the phone.Plz help

    I am using iphone 3gs since last 4 days. Till yesterday night it was working fine and i have connected this phone for charging . Morning there was apple logo in the screen and every 1mte (approx) it is blinking. I could not restart the phone.Plz help . I have tried to reset even by pressing sleep and home button but it could not help. Please suggest. Still i have connected for charging .

    Sounds like you have corrupt backup data, if this occurs from one phone to another. Try restoring the phone as a new device, without a backup. Try using for a day before installing any other apps, etc. See if that improves the battery life. Then try syncing back applications a couple at a time. Something seems to be locking in the processor which is draining the battery.
    Do you live in an area where there are Apple Stores? If so, try making an appointment with the Genius Bar to have the device checked out.

  • Generating large amounts of XML without running out of memory

    Hi there,
    I need some advice from the experienced xdb users around here. I´m trying to map large amounts of data inside the DB (Oracle 11.2.0.1.0) and by large I mean files up to several GB. I compared the "low level" mapping via PL/SQL in combination with ExtractValue/XMLQuery with the elegant XML View Mapping and the best performance gave me the View Mapping by using the XMLTABLE XQuery PATH constructs. So now I have a View that lies on several BINARY XMLTYPE Columns (where the XML files are stored) for the mapping and another view which lies above this Mapping View and constructs the nested XML result document via XMLELEMENT(),XMLAGG() etc. Example Code for better understanding:
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW MAPPING AS
    SELECT  type, (...)  FROM XMLTYPE_BINARY,  XMLTABLE ('/ROOT/ITEM' passing xml
         COLUMNS
          type       VARCHAR2(50)          PATH 'for $x in .
                                                                let $one := substring($x/b012,1,1)
                                                                let $two := substring($x/b012,1,2)
                                                                return
                                                                    if ($one eq "A")
                                                                      then "A"
                                                                    else if ($one eq "B" and not($two eq "BJ"))
                                                                      then "AA"
                                                                    else if (...)
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW RESULT AS
    select XMLELEMENT("RESULTDOC",
                     (SELECT XMLAGG(
                             XMLELEMENT("ITEM",
                                          XMLFOREST(
                                               type "ITEMTYPE",
    ) as RESULTDOC FROM MAPPING;
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now all I want to do is materialize this document by inserting it into a XMLTYPE table/column.
    insert into bla select * from RESULT;
    Sounds pretty easy but can´t get it to work, the DB seems to load a full DOM representation into the RAM every time I perform a select, insert into or use the xmlgen tool. This Representation takes more than 1 GB for a 200 MB XML file and eventually I´m running out of memory with an
    ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML PROCESSING
    ORA-04030: out of process memory
    My question is how can I get the result document into the table without memory exhaustion. I thought the db would be smart enough to generate some kind of serialization/datastream to perform this task without loading everything into the RAM.
    Best regards

    The file import is performed via jdbc, clob and binary storage is possible up to several GB, the OR storage gives me the ORA-22813 when loading files with more than 100 MB. I use a plain prepared statement:
            File f = new File( path );
           PreparedStatement pstmt = CON.prepareStatement( "insert into " + table + " values ('" + id + "', XMLTYPE(?) )" );
           pstmt.setClob( 1, new FileReader(f) , (int)f.length() );
           pstmt.executeUpdate();
           pstmt.close(); DB version is 11.2.0.1.0 as mentioned in the initial post.
    But this isn´t my main problem, the above one is, I prefer using binary xmltype anyway, much easier to index. Anyone an idea how to get the large document from the view into a xmltype table?
