My storage is always full
I don't understand what's happening to my phone after I updated to iOS 8. I don't have that much apps compare to any other iPhones but my storage is always full. I'm using a 16 GB one. My songs in music aren't so many. It really frustrates me because I can't install some apps that I want without deleting the other. I hope anyone can explain.
Lets see whats taking up the space. To do so, go to Settings > General > Usage > Manage Usage, and then you will be able to see whats taking up the space.

Hi, I got a serious problem with my iCloud account.

Please help me solve this problem asap
Hello mate ! Thanks for your reply. However if you take a look at this screen shot you'll see I have nothing more then a few photos (2.1 GB) and 2 tiny little apps but the memory still looks filled up... with air in my opinion. Maybe you got another suggestion . Thanks a lot my friend

Why my new devices always shows that's my storage is almost full..
i just bought my new iPhone6 16gb
and it's showed that's storage is almost full..
even i don't used that's much for video,pictures or any songs also..Connect your phone to your computer and open iTunes. Check what is says about "Other." Chances are you have a corrupt file that is taking up a lot of space. If you see that other is larger than a GB or so, you'll need to restore the phone to get rid of other.

If my iCloud storage is almost full will my purchases still be available there and be accessible?
Purchases made do not count towards your storage limit. They are always available.

My icloud storage is almost full, yet it doesn't seem like it should be?
Help. My icloud storage is almost full. Because of that I can't back up my iphone. My friends and I can't figure out why it is so full. It is in the photo area, but nothing seems crazy big. I only have about 315 photos and 20 videos on my phone. Not even long videos - all are 5 minutes or less. Anyone have advise on what to look for?

My storage is mostly full of a category labeled "other." I'm out of memory to the extent that it won't even allow me to update apps. I have moved all photos over to my computer and my music streams through the cloud. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

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? -
how do you remove back up data from the memory storage? my storage data states that i have over 80gb of data used for back ups and i dont know why as i use a external hard drive as a time machine .now my 250gb flash storage is nearly full.. HELP!
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space. -
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.

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!

I have now received an E Mail from iCloud Support that my storage space is almost full. The first time I got the E Mail, I scheduled a call with Apple Support to confirm that the E Mail was wrong. It says I have 0.2 GB of free space when I in fact have almost 2.0 GB of free space. Apple confirmed this.
Now the E Mail came again and I assume it will come more times until Apple realizes it has some sort of error generating this E Mail.
It would be nice if Apple allowed for E Mail support or at least responses to their messages sent to users. Perhaps posting this will help in that Apple might see it and fix the problem.
Dear Name,
Your iCloud storage is almost full. You are currently using 4.8 GB of 5 GB total storage.
Your iCloud storage is used for iCloud Mail and to automatically back up the most important data on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch — your photos and videos, device settings, app data, messages, and more.
iCloud Drive and iCloud-enabled apps, like Keynote, Pages, and Numbers, also use iCloud storage to automatically keep your files up-to-date across your devices.
Learn more about iCloud Drive >
To continue using these iCloud features without interruption, you can upgrade your storage plan from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac.
iOS 8:
1)
Go to Settings and tap iCloud.
2)
Tap Storage.
3)
Tap Buy More Storage.
OS X:
1)
Go to System Preferences and click iCloud.
2)
Click Manage.
3)
Click Buy More Storage.
Or you can reduce the amount of iCloud storage you’re using. Learn how to manage your iCloud storage >
Important: If you exceed your storage plan, your devices will stop backing up to iCloud. iCloud Drive and iCloud-enabled apps will no longer update across your devices, and you will not be able to send or receive messages with your iCloud email address.
The iCloud Team
<Email Edited by Host>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. -
My iCloud storage is almost full. I saved my pictures to my computer and deleted about 500 from my phone. My iCloud storage didn't move at all, it still says it's almost full. What can I do?

Since I upgraded to the new iOS 7 operating system for my iphone, I can no longer adjust the volume on my alarm. No matter what setting the volume of my phone is my alarm is always full blast. Since I hate being startled awake, what can I do?
Go to your home screen, and then press the volume down or up button. It should say Ringer instead of volume. If it doesn't do that, try going into the clock app and try it there.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Carry on deleting things because you haven't got enough storage. Note that movies take some GBs of storage -

Hi,
I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this.
It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.
