My iphone 5c storage is almost full and I need to delete some pictures to free up some space, I pay iCloud for extra storage but I'm afraid if I delete it off my phone that it will delete it from iCloud, is that true? I can't afford to lose these pictures

My iphone 5c storage is almost full and I need to delete some picture to free up some space. If I delete the pictures off of my phone, will they be deleted off of iCloud as well? I cant afford to lose these pictures.

    My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!

    What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
    Are  you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
    How much free space is actually on the device?
    If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?

  • I received an email telling me that my icloud storage is almost full.  I need to upgrade to the next level.  Can someone help me out with this?

    I received telling me that my icloud storage is almost full.  I need to upgrade my storage.  Can someone help me out with this.  I understand that the 20 GB is only .99 per month.  Just hoping this would be enough for me.  I back up 2 ipads and my iphone on the same computer.  Any help you can give me would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    Okay.
    I responded as I did because you wrote, "I have 2 ipads and my iphone that I back up on one computer"
    No worries here.
    But hopefully you get/got it sorted.
    Any issues, post back.

    Read here - http://pondini.org/OSX/LionStorage.html - should you have any more questions, just ask. Do you have a Time Machine backup? Do you have local snapshots enabled?

    My external Time Machine disk is almost full. I know TM is supposed to erase the oldest back-ups to make room for newer ones but is it safe for me to just erase the back-ups from 2 or so years ago to make room for TM as well as anything else I might want to add to this external drive?

    Time Machine makes room for backups as necessary in a complex and sophisticated fashion, and it's not something to mess with lightly. However there are instructions at the bottom of this link which tell you how you can. Those instructions are part of the ultimate resource for all things Time Machine, put together by an Apple Support Communities member who is greatly missed.

  • I recently bought 10gb of iCloud data for £10 totalling my date to 15gb but it's almost full and I need a new phone, is the only way to save all my 1300 pictures

    Please may someone help me in regards to the above, I have a very old laptop and do not trust it for holding all my photos, is iCloud the best place to store them? & should I just bite the bullet and buy more data? New phone is needed soon, this one is 16gb I have just under 400 contacts & roughly 1450 photos & videos from the last 2 years. I don't really understand why if the phone is 16gb i only have 15gb on iCloud, I'm guessing that means I would only lose 1gb somewhere?
    Sorry to sound like a total dummy but would really appreciate advice on this.
    Many thanks

    Import them from the camera roll to your computer and delete them off your device as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  You can then put the photos in a folder and sync them back to your device by selecting it on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings.  They will appear on you phone in the Photo Library album, which is not included in the iCloud backup (because they are already backed up on your computer), and thus won't take any of your iCloud storage.
    Another approach of course would be to start backing up to your computer using iTunes instead of to iCloud.

    I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen.  I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod. A family member set it up for me. 

    You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs
    If on your iPod now:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    You can go to Setting>iCloud>Manage Storage and see what is using the store and delete items from iCloud

  • I am about to upgrade to IOS 7, but my iCloud storage is almost full and hasn't been backed for two weeks. What do I do?

    This has been bugging me for since the release of IOS 7, as I use this iPad as a student. I have thought of an number of options:
    1. Upload everything to dropbox.
    2. Delete some files from icloud.
    3. Delete the whole iCloud data and then back up what's left on the iPad 2.
    Thanks :)

    I believe I am in the same boat with you on this.
    From what I have read and the thought process that I have, by deleting the current iCloud back up. It will remove whatever you have currently. Then you can go through and clean up your device (deleting certain photos, personal data from apps, etc) and then create a new back up image for iCloud which will be a capture of your current device. Then proceed forward with the iOS7 upgrade.

  • How do i clear movies off my hard drive ? the storage is almost full and i can't clear it ?

    how do i clear movies from the hard drive on my macbook ?

    Hi gpzjamie,
    If you need to free up space on your Mac by deleting the movies you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, then please follow the directions below for help with deleting movies.
    Mac or PC
    Open iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Movies.
    Click Movies in the navigation bar.
    Click the movie you want to delete.
    Press Delete on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11 or later, the movie cover art will remain visible, but a Download  icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store - Apple Support
    Have a good one,

  • Can I share my upgraded storage with my wife's iPhone storage so we are not paying twice for extra storage

    can I share my extra paid storage with my wife's iPhone so we are not paying twice and she can back up successfully to the cloud from her device?

    Only if you are both logged into the same iCloud account.

  • ICloud Storage is almost full -- how do I clear my iPhone Camera Roll back-up without losing my photos?

    Hi.  My iCloud storage is almost full and my iPhone Camera Roll seems to be the main culprit.  So...
    1.  I think that they way to free up my iCloud storage is to go into iCloud management and delete the back-up of the iPhone Camera Roll.  Right?
    2.  If yes, does deleting my iPhone Camera Roll from iCloud back-up delete the photos from my phone entirely?
    3.  Also, if I have already saved my iPhone photos to my iPhoto Library on my computer (via hard line sync), should I be worried about deleting the iCloud back-up of the iPhone Camera Roll?  (In other words, will deleting the back-up on my phone somehow tell my iPhoto to delete the copies of the photo as well?)
    Any tips would be appreciated.  Thanks!!

    Here's a tip: Part of what I do is photography, so I normally treat my iPhone as another camera. So, what I do is after I have finished taking some shots/videos with it, I download them to my computer (in my case, via Aperture). For everyone else, on the Mac there is the free Image Capture app, or the iPhoto app (which, if you have the latest version of Lion, it isn't built in there, so you would have to download it from the App Store for a fee).
    I have made it a habit to use this method whenever I finish taking pictures at the end of a day (but that's just me). Also, keep in mind that the videos that you take on your iPhone can take up a lot of space very quickly (for instance, one minute of 720p HD video recorded on the iPhone takes up over 300 MB of space!), so you would need to keep that in mind when shooting videos. SO, to answer your questions above:
    1) Right.
    2) No, because it is only a backup, not the Camera Roll itself.
    3) You should not be worried about deleting the iCloud backup of the iPhone Camera Roll. What would happen (in terms of the method) is that you first would download them to iPhoto first, then delete the images from your Camera Roll. This then would free up your iCloud storage space. Lastly, placing them in your iPhoto app will not tell your backup on your phone to delete them. When you delete the images from your camera roll, your "backup" will be smaller in size than it was beforehand.... Hopefully that made sense.

  • Storage is almost full message after purchasing more storage

    I had been getting messages that my storage was almost full and to manage my setting.  I have 1 iphones, 1 ipod, 1 ipad on my account and my storage was almost full.  So I bought additional storage 15gb.  This was a few weeks ago and now on every device it is saying that my storage is almost full again, but when you go into setting and manage the storage it says that there is 13.2gb available ...
    why is this happening?  How do I resolve this?

    Perhaps the warning message is referring to storage ON THE DEVICE, not iCloud. If so you'll have to delete files to free up space. Look at videos first, as they take up a lot of memory on devices.

  • My storage on my iCloud is almost full, and I turned off some apps that I don't want to be backed up. So if I press the button delete back up, is it going to delete all of the apps that I'm backing up, or just the ones that I turned off?

    I keep on getting E-mails that notifies me that my storage is almost full. I don't want to press that button until my question has been answered.

    It will delete the entire backup, so you'll have to back up again after doing this.  The new backup will only contain the apps (and other data) that you have selected and omit the ones you turned off.

  • Why does my iPhone 5 keep telling me that storage is almost full?

    Since I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 it has been acting strange. I keep getting messages telling me that the storage is almost full yet when I check there is over 358mb of free space. I have tried restoring my iPhone but I still keep getting these error messages. Also I have noticed that I can no longer delete music on my iPhone, before I could just swipe and delete any track or album but now I can't. Another stupid 'improvement' of iOS 7 or is it just me being stupid?

    I'm having the same issue with my new iPhone 5S (iOS7).  Looked everywhere online for solution (including apple support website) and it seems that not many of us are having this issue.
    Were you able to fix it?  I restored my phone twice already, stopped and restarted my icloud backup save, deleted that save and remade another one, name it I've done it.  Oh and just so that we're clear, I have over 8 GB free on my iphone and over 3 GB free on my icloud.  I'm not that naive!
    Hope anyone has a solution!
    Thanks for your help!
