My iPhone keeps saying i have no more storage but...

My iPhone keeps telling me I have no storage left so I bought more storage not knowing it was iCloud storage, now I can't figure out how to switch some apps and such to be stored on iCloud it says I have 8.0 gb left on iCloud but keeps coming up and saying my phone has no more storage space..what do I do?

You can't use your iCloud account to expand the capacity of your phone unless you subscribe to iTunes Match and access your iTunes music library from iCloud rather than storing it on your phone.
You can delete apps from your phone, and as long as they are still available in the App store you can later redownload them, but you will lose all app data for the app.
If you need to eliminate some data from your phone, consider importing some or all of your camera roll photos and videos to your computer, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, or sync some of your music off your phone with iTunes.

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

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    Are you running iTunes 11.0.1 (current version)?  If not, get it at http://www.apple.com/itunes

  • I upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto?

    i upload all of my photos from my iphone 5 onto my macbook air to get more space on my phone, and now whenver i try to upload it says there is no more storage or there was a problem transferring a picture. what can I do to get more space onto my iphoto? I've tried putting the pictures on flashdrives, but iphoto would no tlet me transfer.

    I don't know how large the SSD (solid state hard drive) is, or how big your iPhone 5 is, but with some iPhones having 64GB and some Airs having as little as 64GB and some having as much as 512GB it's not hard to see how storing the contents of your iPhone 5 on your Macbook Air could run you out of space.
    Go to the Macbook Air and bring up a finder window and pull the Go menu down and go to the Computer. Right click on the Macintosh HD and select get info. See if there is any available space on the MacBook Air. If not you are out of SSD space (you're storing more on your Macbook Air than it has storage for). I'm not sure if iTunes can store its library on an external hard drive or quite how you would make that happen. But even if you managed that, when the hard drive was disconnected, you would lose access to your library. Using a smart media card might be possible (I don't know) but it would probably be irritatingly slow. If you have a small Air and a big iPhone you might just have to find a different computer to sync to. Just remember a 64GB iPhone is a big chunk of SSD for a Macbook Air. I did it with my previous and my current Air but even my previous one had 256GB and I really just fit.

  • My signal is not working it keeps saying I have full signal then searching!!!

    My signal is not working it keeps saying I have full signal then searching!!

    Hello my fellow iPhone 4s users...
    i have been going around the web for solution to the lost signal. Upon further investigation and diagnosis with my iPhone and other iPhone with a combination of chnage of sim between phones, resetting the network, hard reset and restoring a few times, it still persist. My analysis is that the iOS 5 >Settings>General>Cellular Data is the culprit. It does not have an option of switching between Edge and 3G (unlike the previous iOS lower than 5.0 or 5.0.1) It always stays on 3G. Now comes the trickiest part of my analysis. For networks having mid to low signal in areas, the updated dual antenna of the iPhone 4s switches automatically between 3G and normal signal. However, since it has no option to go down to Edge, it "automatically revert back to the original signal status". Sometimes from a very strong signal to a low signal area, it shows full bar of signal. but when you try to send an sms or make a call, it fails.
    Conclusion:
    I believe Apple has been digging deep with their softwate developers and checking the hardware of the iPhone 4s. And if my analysis is correct, they may have to incorporate the option of EDGE and 3G again.
    Temporary Solution:
    For low reception/signal areas, actually NONE... we have to wait for the update by Apple.
    So either use our iPhone 4s as an expensive iPod on poor reception/signal areas and transfer our sim cards temporarily to another phone or have your phone put to AIRPLANE MODE on-off again.

  • HT4859 My iPhone 4 says I have 4.9 GB of my free 5 GB iCloud storage available. Yet when I try to back up to iCloud I get the message that his iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. What am I doing wrong??

    My iPhone 4 says I have 4.9 GB of my free 5 GB iCloud storage available, but when I try to back up the phone to iCloud I get the message that I do not have enough storage to back up this device. What am I doing wrong??

    Import them to your computer as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then either delete them from your phone or exclude the camera roll from your iCloud backup by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your phone under Backups, then turn Camera Roll to Off under Backup Options.
    Also check Settings>General>Usage to see how much availble space is on your phone.  If you have to delete apps in order to take photos, you may be out of space on your phone.  If so, you need to delete something in order to create more space.

  • My iPhone keeps saying an incompatible device is connected, when nothing is

    Just had my iPhone for a short time and it keeps saying I have third party hardware incomparable with iPhone connected, I've already checked for any debris in the sync cable connection but the message keeps popping up at random times. Any ideas?

    Mine does this as well... started doing it about a month ago. It'll do it sometimes after I wake the screen up, but then it goes away instantly on its own. There's only been maybe once or twice I had to actually click the option manually to clear it. I recently had to restore my phone because it wouldn't boot back up, and it still does it. I'm not about to restore my phone as new because I want to keep all my txt messages and app settings, so hopefully this is something that can be fixed with a future software update. Anyone know how to fix this?

  • My iphone keeps saying no sim when the sim is in it

    my iphone keeps saying no sim when the sim card is in

    There appear to be a number of posts about this topic.
    I have the same problem with my iPad 2. Worked fine for months, and now suddenly the iPad seems to 'loose' the SIM card and reports in the top-left corner it reads: 'No SIM'.
    Some findings from my side, while trying to address this:
    - when I switch to flight mode and then turn flight mode off again, the problems goes away, but comes back after a few minutes
    - same happens when I do a full power off.
    - I got a new SIM card from my provider. Same issue.
    - once you 'lost' the SIM card, it never comes back. (only after full power off - see above).
    - I contacted Apple Care today and they told me that this was not a known problem to them. Well, now it is :-)
    - Apple Care suggested to me to perform a full reset of the iPad. This is standard procedure and this was not a specific recommended action in relation to this problem. But suggest to perform this procedure anyway. In Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. With this you do not loose your data, but you will need to configure your network/password settings, game center password, etc.
    For now this appears to have fixed it....
    Good luck,
    Anton

  • My iPhone keeps saying my Apple ID has been disabled ?

    I tried to download an app that will allow me to have different color keyboards and a message popped up saying my Apple ID had been disabled . I went to the apple and talked to someone on how to fix it but it hadn't been working . Then I told my girlfriend who owns an IPhone 5 about the app I wanted . As soon as she entered her password to download it she also saw the same thing . Her Apple ID has been disabled . Can anyone help please . We have tried multiple time to reset our password for I cloud and apple And nothing is working !

    Hi Nico , Contact your bank they may have disabled your credit/ debit card because of an unusual amount of small purchaches of APPS , ALBUMS etc....... Has your name been changed if so create a new Apple ID and RELAX. BANKS TREAT THIS AS FRAUD they may need you to confirm you purchased them APPS.
