Go to Settings - General - Usage and see which apps are taking up a lot of space.
In my experience, if you haven't cleaned out your Messages that is where a lot of space is consumed.

  • I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?

    Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
    Anyone help you with your fix yet?

  • I restored and updated my iPod, but when I turned it on, it still says connect to iTunes

    My brother just got an ipod for Christmas, and we told him not to put a passcode on it because he would forget... but he did it anyways and he did forget! He ended up disabling it trying to unlock it. It said ''Connect to iTunes." When I connected to iTunes, it said it was disabled and needed the passcode to do whatever,  but I held the top button and the home button down for ten seconds to Restart it because we don't know the passcode! It said to Restore and Update, so I did that. Now it's in Recovery mode... and I can't get past that part! I thought I had done it right, but when it turns back on, it still says connect to iTunes! Help??

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I have downloaded two movies to my iTunes account but when I go to watch them it says that I'm not authorized

    I Have downloaded 2 movies to my iPad on an iTunes account but when I go to watch it, it says I'm not authorized.

    I have read about some cases where movies rented or purchased on one device will not play on another device. Seems to happen mostly with Apple TV and iPads. One way some have worked around it is to cable from the downloaded device to a TV or Apple TV.
    Were these movies purchased or rented from iTunes? Not sure, but that almost sounds like a iTunes Password problem. Maybe try checking that you're signed in as the same account that purchased the movies.

  • Why app store keep asking me to update when i deleted the app

    app store alert me to update the app ... i never use this app and i deleted the app...
    but app store still has the alert red sign on the app store ... why this is still on since i deleted the app?...
    i used cleanapp to remove the app ... is it the removal is not 100% or else?...
    please advise for a solution...
    thanks...

    You may have installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • I took my headphones out of my iPod but when I use the volume it still says there in. Why?

    I had my headphones in and then I took them out. But my iPod insists I still have them plugged in. So now I can't listen to things out loud. I'm really aggravated because I tried plugging them back in and then out but it still says I have headphones in when I use the volume. How can I fix this problem?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • I got a new itunes account through my iphone but i still have all my music on my iphone but when i go to itunes its not there anymore, how do i get all my music from my phone to my computer??

    i just got a new itunes acount because my other one wasnt working and it was fine i still had all my music on my phone, but then i had to restart my whole laptop back to the way it was when i first bought it because it was so slow, so when i downloaded itunes back and signed in none of my music was there. how do i download all my music from my iphone 5 to my laptop

    I would not suggest starting anew AppleID as you will have problems with previous purchases.

    How doesn't it work?
    so when i downloaded itunes back and signed in none of my music was there.
    Because it is part of your old AppleID (and your library does not just magically appear).
    Did you make a backup of your HD?
    jhow do i download all my music from my iphone 5 to my laptop
    Authorize your computer for your old AppleID then File > Devices, select your device then Transfer purchases.
    I highly suggest you sort out the issue with your old AppleID and continue to use that. Remove your personal info from the new AppleID and don't use it.

    My ipad mini says that my stirage is full but i have dleted everything and its still the same, i cant download apps, or take photos and camera and photos seems to be taking up the most GB even though i have delted everything from my photos. Does anyone know what this is? thank you!

    When you delete photo in 8.x it puts them in a deleted folder,  it lets them in there for 30 days.  You need to delete the photos / videos in the delete folder ( may have different name. )
