My iphone 4s ran out of storage after syncing to my laptop

Hi everyone!
Please help me. Before I synced my ipad3 to my laptop, i still have available storage. Now its totally nothing.
Also, almost all of my apps shuts down just seconds after I begin to use them. I cannot understand what is happening.
Could it be the syncing, or the ios latest update.
Thank you in advance.

Each update should be expected to use slightly more storage than its predecessor.
But regardless, it sounds like you need to remove a considerable amount from your iPhone.
Consider clearing stuff. Perhaps in the future consider using Autofill described here:

PUZZLED: Iphone 4s ran out of space after taking one photo from lock screen and deleted whole photo album. Can I recover?

My phone is running 6.0.1. I took one photo from the lock screen by sliding up the camera button. It was a little blurry so I tried again and the iphone 4ssaid it couldn't because the phone was out of space.
After shutting the phone off and turning it back, put in the passcode and checked my photos and they were all gone. my usage says I only have 150kb left on the 16gb phone it says zero photos and zero videos. I only have 10 applications and 606 songs. It seems the photos are still on the device as the space is being used but i cant access them. Any idea or suggestions will help. Thanks

I i backup from current state would it not backup without the photos. Maybe I should just restore from the last backup posible and this should have all photos until then. But before i restore from backup I wish i could just access the photos. I don't understand in the first place how they all deleted, and secondly why iphone still recognizes the space being used. This is such a glitch, which is very frustrating. i wish someone at apple can give me more insight....

Hello Terri0125,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
You have a couple of options here. First you can use this article to manage your iCloud storage:
iCloud: Managing your iCloud storage
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847
You can manage the storage either from your device, or from a computer. Whichever is more convenient for you.
You can also backup your device to iTunes for a local backup if you want.

Ran out of storage space

Recently ran out of storage space on my laptop, where I have been storing all music/videos purchased from iTunes. The music library points to a location in the hard disc of the laptop. Now that I have no more space on the internal hard disc I acquired an external 250 GB disc. What's the best way to move forward with iTunes? I don't really know what to do.
1. Should I copy all existing music/videos to the external drive?
2. Should I point the library to the new location on the external drive?
3. Should I delete all existing music/videos from internal storage and leave them on the external drive?
4. How to avoid double entries of each song/video?
Thanks for your help.

HT201317 My iPhone is running out of storage. I want to delete a bunch of photos on my phone. I have iCloud. How do I delete photos from the iPhone and keep them on my computer? I need to free up storage as my phone will no longer take photos.

The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

My IPhone 5S ran out of battery and now won't unlock

Hey guys
My Iphone 5S ran out of battery and now it won't accept my fingerprint or my password when I try to unlock it. If any one has any idea how to sort it would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Josh

Thanks Eric, but it's not a power issue. Tried different chargers and usb cables in a wall outlet and computer etc. It doesn't seem to recognize that it is in fact plugged to a power source. I get the low battery icon w/ the plug + bolt icon as if it needs to be plugged in but it already is...
iTunes doesn't see it either..

I was told that it takes about 10 years to outdate a MAC desktop, which I think is the case, but I have ran out of storage. What is the best option?

There is no one best for everyong.
For most though: a dedicated boot drive. $105 Samsung 840 SSD is best in that category
WD Black in 1 to 4TB (1-4 drives) for up to 16TB of storage.
Sonnet Tempo Pro PCIe SSD card to boot from and boost SSD speed, as well as free up your drive bays for the other drives.
2-4 backup sets. One or two used for TimeMachine. Two or three clones of your system. Even clone your critical data.
And then there is external storage of unlimited size, capacity and expansion.
Upgrade your system drive every year or two and move the current drive to use as a backup set.

HT1414 Hello, I have had to restore my iphone 4 to its factory setting as I had missed a number of updates and my computer was not recognising the device. I have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.

Hello, I have had to restore my iphone 4 to its factory setting as I had missed a number of updates and my computer was not recognising the device. I have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.
Would you know how to resolve this issue?
Many thanks.

I have now lost my contacts icon on the iphone and cannot find it even after syncing to my computer.
Would you know how to resolve this issue?
It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

My phone wouldn't back up with iCloud because it ran out of storage . I purchased more iCloud storage after a week and after doing an iTunes backup and now it won't backup with the cloud

My phone ran out of iCloud storage. After a week I did an iTunes backup then bought more iCloud storage and now it won't back up with the iCloud.

Do you have sufficient storage now? And did you turn on iCloud backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup?

IPhone 4 Ran Out of Battery and Doesn't want to charge

So basically, today i looked up at my iPhone 4 and noticed it was at 6% battery or something like that. I left it and looked at it again after an hour or so and it was off. I thought that it ran out of battery so it was okay.
I came back home, got the charger and plugged in. The iPhone did not show any charging sign (you know, the red icon that shows that the battery is empty, nor the red sign that shows that the iPhone is charging but not yet "up").
There is nothing on the screen. I tried a forced restart and similar but it doesn't show anything.
I have no idea what i can do about it, so let me know if you have any?
Thanks.

When you say, "Forced restart", do you mean holding the Home and Lock button together? If not, try that. If so, then sorry, I can't think of anything else. You might need a trip to an Apple Store/Reseller, or call AppleCare (if you have it).

Ran Out of Storage While Editing

I am about 2/3 through editing a large file that is about an hour long in the timeline. I know this is a large file, but so far, Final Cut Pro X has been able to handle it without acting too sluggish. However, I'm about 2/3 through with the project now and I ran out of room on my 1TB external drive where all of the media was stored. At import, I selected "create optimized media" for all of the clips.
I am wondering, at this point, how can I reduce the amount of storage this project is taking up so I can continue working on it off of my external drive? Right now, the Final Cut Pro library file in the drive is at 870GB, and FCP will not continue unless I free up storage. When research this issue, I saw that creating proxy media can help but was unsure about doing this so far into the project, and not completely sure, if at this point, it would actually free up space since I didn't do this at import...
Any tips or input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks Russ. I have ordered up a larger drive and suspected that was part of the issue. But since this is my first large project of this size, I thought there may also be a way to be more efficient with the amount of space the project takes up. 870GB seems very large, even for an hour long HD video. So my focus, in addition to getting more storage available, is also on how to be as efficient as possible with the file size, which is why I am trying to see if there are ways I may not have realized (since I'm very new to this) of decreasing the file size while still maintaing the quality of the final output.
It seems as though using proxy files may be an answer but just now want to make sure the conversion to that doesn't have a negative effect on my current work in progress. Any input is appreciated.

HT5731 I was downloading the movie Warrior when I ran out of storage. I made space available, and now when I try to resume downloading my movie it says error cannot be downloaded. How can I download my movie?

I was downloading the movie warrior when I ran out of available storage on my macbook air. I made storage available and when I click resume download it pops up an error message saying the movie cannot be downloaded. How do I download my movie?

Go to the Store tab in iTunes on your syncing computer and click on Check for Available Downloads. If it is not there report the problem to iTunes:

Hi. My songs that I bought on my iphone does not show on purchaced after sync with my macbook pro. Some of the songs shows it has been downloaded ,but it has an x next to it and doesnt play. Thx

Songs bought on iphone do not show up as purchased on my macbook pro after sync. Some songs bought on iphone show as downloaded but has an x next to it and cannot play. It play on my iphone though.

The reason, I included the annotation that I'd upgraded my Itunes, (On my Computer) is B/C in many forums - the very first question, *HELPERS* ask, is. "Do you have the latest version of Itunes downloaded on your computer." I wanted to knock out any obvious replies.
Now- "DO YOU have any idea,"... how your UNHELPFUL remarks, do absolutely nothing but hurt others that might not have the EXPERIENCE you have? How do you expect people to know things without asking questions? Whew! RUDE!!
