My iPhone 4 is 8 gigabytes, and it says I have no storage available when I have 2 apps, no songs, and 26 photos. What could be using so much space?

I deleted everything on my phone but it still said I was using 6 gigabytes. Help, please!

How could anyone here possibly know what is taking up space on your device?
Look for yourself and find out.
Settings > General > Usage
Or connect the device to a computer running iTunes and look at the Summary tab.

  • Have been advised by my email provider (recently blocked account requiring password reset) that they will only reset the password after a proven anti viru and malware scan has been done on ipad and iphone. Is this necessary and if so what do i use

    Have been advised by my email provider (recently blocked account requiring password reset) that they will only reset the password after a proven anti virus and malware scan has been done on ipad and iphone. Is this necessary and if so what do i use

    As KP has pointed out, there actually aren't any anti-virus programs in the App Store. There are a few that allow you to scan e-mail or stuff like that, and a few that provide you with information about malware and new threats for other systems. But none are available that can scan your iOS device for malware, because the security restrictions in iOS do not permit any apps to have that kind of access to anything. Which means that you also cannot be infected with a virus (unless you have jailbroken your device).
    If your account got compromised, that had nothing whatsoever to do with your iPad. Someone simply hacked it remotely. Happens all the time. It's really amazing that, in this day and age, e-mail providers are so ignorant of technology and how their own systems get compromised that they would try to require you to run software that does not exist!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

    Unlocked means unlocked, so yes.
    But, support and namely warranty coverage may not be available for you in Norway or anywhere but in the US with any iPhone purchased in the US, even an unlocked iPhone purchased in the US.

    Hello Donna,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. If you are having issues completing your app updates, you may want to make sure you can otherwise access the iTunes Store/iOS App Store. You may want to try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If the iOS version listing in your post profile is correct (iOS 8.0.2), you may also want to make sure that your iPhone is updated to the most recent version of iOS:
    Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    - Brenden

    Buzz! Thank you for playing!
    Any warranty you had is void and your ability to get help here or from Apple is forfeit.
    Try Google. We can not assist you per the terms of service.
    It's very likely that your phone is now a brick.

    Try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    After that: go to Settings - iCloud - Storage and backup - turn off the iCloud backup
    and backup with iTunes from now on

  • I have a i phone 5 that we are getting a message not enough storage this Iphone cannot be backed up beacause there is not enough Icloud storage available.  But we cannot go to settings or close out the message . i cannot power off the phone or anthing

    i have a i phone 5 that we are getting a message not enough storage this Iphone cannot be backed up beacause there is not enough Icloud storage available.  But we cannot go to settings or close out the message . i cannot power off the phone or anthing. How do i clear this off the phone.

    First, press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon appears.
    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.  Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • I am trying to activate my iPhone. I am seeing a message saying "a server problem is blocking Apple ID sign in. Try signing in later." What is this?

    I am trying to activate my new Verizon Iphone. I am getting a message saying "A server problem is blocking Apple ID sign in. Please try again later." What is this and it seems to be persisting.........can't activate my long awaited new phone!

    Hi Natalie,
    I was able to workaround this issue by clicking the "Skip" option on the first screen.  Afterwards, I went back and manually entered my me.com Apple ID in Settings | iCloud and my iTunes Apple ID in Settings | Store.  Doing it this way doesn't ask you to enter your birthday and I haven't yet found where that is supposed to be set.  However, everything appears to be working correctly without it.  Hope this helps!

  • HT4847 My iCloud on my iPhone is almost full. What is using so much space?

    I have a message that my iCloud is almost full. What is using so much space on my phone? New to  having an iPhone! Thanks!

    If that did not reduce Other, then unfortunately the source of the problem is contained in your backup and the only way to solve it is to save as much of your data as you can, then restore as a new iPhone and start over.  You can save your photo stream photos to the camera roll (by opening the my camera roll album, tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import your photos and videos to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083), write down all your email account settings, back up your contacts, calendar, reminders and notes by syncing them with iCloud.  If you have any voice memos, you can email them to yourself.  If you have voicemails, music not purchased from the iTunes store or photos in your photo library that are not on your computer or in your iTunes library you'll have to use 3rd party software to save these, such as Touch Copy (PC and Mac) or PhoneView (Mac only).  Then transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (File>Devices>Transfer Purchases) and sync your phone.  This will save most of your data, but you will lose your text message conversations.
    The other option is not to back up to iCloud and instead back up to your computer using iTunes.  You're problem with Other won't go away and will probably continue to get worse until you bite the bullet and deal with it.

  • TS3992 "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available" message

    I do get the "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available" message since a couple of days. I do have 3 backups for iOS devices totaling 3 GB + Mail w/ 2 GB - now what? I vaguely remember having reserved part of the 50 GB for backups under the old .me account - could that still be in place? Thx for any help

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have to delete things from your iCloud account. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, select the app from what you want to delete data, and delete the things you want. Another possibility you have is to purchase more storage.
    As you are referring to "the old .me account", it looks like you had that storage with an older Apple ID, so you can't use this storage with the new Apple ID you are using with iCloud
