Not Enough Room To Update

Really?
You disagree with yourself, iTunes/iPhone/iOS/Updater.
Oh ok. I'll go remove more stuff. Say, remove another GB.
Nope. Still not enough room.
OK. I removed ALL videos. Now 6.88 GB free. AAAAND... POW, BANG BOOM!
Nuthin.
Why you lying to me?

Hello Sophie,
It sounds like you are getting a prompt that your iCloud storage is full. According to iCloud: Manage or buy more iCloud storage (http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2615), there are different things that can contribute to you iCloud storage:
Your iCloud account includes 5 GB of free storage for Mail, Documents, and your iCloud Backup. Your purchased music, apps, books, and TV shows, as well as your Photo Stream, don’t count against the 5 GB of free storage.
If you have previously backed up your iPhone to iCloud, it may be set to continue backing up to iCloud and reaching the 5 GB limit, but you can turn this feature off. Email sent to your iCloud account and documents stored on iCloud will also contribute toward 5 GB. You can either purchase more iCloud storage or reduce what is being stored on iCloud by following steps in this article:
iCloud: Managing your iCloud storage

I hope this gets you back on track!
Best,

Hello caitmcd,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
You can also update the phone through iTunes directly if you have the latest version of iTunes installed, 11.1.
You can download iTunes 11 here if needed:

Keep getting 'not enough room' on ipod when trying to copy from iTunes.

Hi,
With 60G iPod connected to PC, and iTunes automatically set to sync, I keep on getting 'not enough room on 'users-j' to copy all the requested files - even though I have plenty of disk spaces on the ipod.
I have tried the following:
- reset the ipod
- restore the ipod to factory setting and erase all previous songs
- selected to use as disk
- tried manually to copy and automatically to sync
- updated ipod and also using iTunes 7.0.2.16
Still get the same msg with all of the above. And not a song gets successfully copied over. I had previously 355 songs in the ipod (before restoring).
Any suggestion/help is appreciated.
Thx. Jack.

Thanks for that, deleted some music, to get 3Gb, then it copied over fine.
The amount left seems wrong though as now only have 0.2Gb free? It was this that was the issue though, as tried again on another movie and it copied across, just strange on the amount free, maybe time for my iPhone to be wiped clean to start again?
cheers

I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2 I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?

I have an iPhone 5S, with iOS 8.1.2 I am trying to do a system restore but the message I get on the desktop is that there is not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is required?
I had an important app. (Memos by bluemarblesoftware.com) that I accidentally deleted. It of course had many memos, some with quite a lot of information. I did sync my phone on a regular basis and I think the memos should be on the desktop computer. I tried to do a restore function but I got a message saying there was not enough room on the iPhone. How much room is needed?

generally you need 1.90gb
what you can do is back up your phone to your computer before doing the update, just as a precaution.

Camera Message: There is not enough room to take additional pictures.

Hello,
I have the new 16 gb iPhone 3G and am running in to several issues. When I push the camera icon I get the message, "There is not enough room to take additional pictures. Please delete some existing photos." I have removed all of my albums as well as reset the device. I just did a full restore and am still having the same problem.
I have also had a problem with apps shutting down unexpectedly. This happens 1 out of every 3 times I open Safari as well as with a plethora of other programs.
The handset has restarted unexpectedly several times with no warning whatsoever.
Every now and then the on screen keyboard will run absurdly slow. It will take 2 to 3 seconds from the time I push a key for it to show on the screen.
I am also running slow when trying to scroll on a web page as well as when viewing photos, selecting applications, viewing photos, etc.
Have there been any known bugs in the new software/hardware. I am getting a bit frustrated with my new toy. It is embarrassing to show off a new app and then to have it shut down for no reason. Any advice?

The Lens/Restart trick doesn't work for me. I tried this and many more hints but the camera stays shut, saying "There is not enough room to take additional pictures. Please delete some existing photos." In German "Kein Platz mehr für die Aufnahme weiterer Bilder. Bitte löschen Sie einige der vorhandenen Fotos." This started when I had the first pictures sychronized from iPhone. Before that, the camera worked just fine. After having some external pictures on my phone, the camera quit working.
Did anyone try the 2.01 Update, and did they fix it? It has to be software related, as my phone never hit the ground or anything.
Any more experiences much appreciated!

Not enough room in heap room

I am trying to export a movie in Imovie, but I get an error Not enough room inheap room. Can you help me?

Update directed to dshaffer23
I split the project into two 20 minute segments as you suggested. The first segment finalized, but the second half did not. Then I broke the second segment into two parts and each finalized.
Since the initial first and second segments were of approximately the same size, I would have expected that both would have finalized. There are 302 pictures approximately 600-700K each. I only used fade to black transitions. There is no sound in the project.
I rebuilt a new version of the project from scratch (keeping all the old files and segments in iMovie) and the new file failed to finalize or be exported as a movie. On each of those attempts iMovie told me to close iMovie because of not enough memory memory.
iMovie has been requiring more and more time to open (currently about 30 seconds) to apparently create thumbnails) as more projects have been added. I now have 20 projects with a total of 3,000-4,000 pictures contained in those projects. There are also numerous videos in the events library.
Could it possibly be that all those thumbnail and files are what are taking up excess memory? If so, can (or should) the projects be moved from iMovie project folders(s) to another location on a drive? (I move finished projects to other drive locations within iMove which creates a new project folder when they have been completed) There are currently only 5 projects that have not been completed.
I completed a large project last year with a project file size of almost 10 GB which I finalized and created a QT movie and imported into iDVD.
I am unsure if I can move files out of a project folder to another folder using finder action that those items could be put back back into a project folder in the future. If I can move them, I experiment to see if that project would then finalize.

I just talked to an apple support specialists. I have had 4 iphones sent back to me brand new because of this problem with the camera. They cannot fix it as of yet. The only thing you can do is send your phone in for repair if it is under warranty they will ship you a replacement brand new for free. If it is not under warranty they will give you the option to purchase a new phone for 499.99. You do better dealing with the problem and waiting for your next upgrade from AT&T and purchasing a new phone for 200.00. Or you can hope they come out with an update to fix the problem soon. They also did give me the option to bring it into the genius bar, the only problem is my nearest Apple Store is 2 hours away. If I visit my cousin soon in Houston I'll let you know what the genius bar has to say.

I can't restore my backup because it says there's not enough room on my phone even though I just deleted everything

I Backed my iPhone up to my computer before getting a new Apple Id, but now when I try to load it on it says there's not enough room. Help please!

Sounds like you were running right at the maximum capacity of the iPhone when you made the backup, but you've since updated the iOS which is now taking up a little more space than the previous version.

Time machine backup fails--not enough room.

I have a 2 TB drive in a Mac Pro running Yosemite (10.2) that I have been using for Time Machine backups. I have a 1 TB drive as my main hard drive that is about 2/3 full and another drive with less than 200 GB used. Unit recently, Time Machine has been working as it should. However, in the last week, I have been getting an error message saying there is not enough room (321 GB available). As I understand the process, older backups should be deleted when there is no longer enough room. Additionally, it should only be updating the backup and there should be enough room for that. Why can I not get a backup?

Import error "not enough room on "drive" to copy..."

Hello.
I have a built 2.8ghz dual xeon workstation that has a 640gb system drive and a 3.8tb (raid 5) storage drive and am unable to add any more songs/moves/music with out always getting an error of not enough room on 'drive' to copy all of the requested files.
right now the storage drive only has 1.2tb used(all itunes in a single library) i don't think its a item limit in itunes, because it will allow me to add new items as long as i don't allow itunes to move/copy/organize the items.
I know the drive is not full because i can still add files to it via windows.
any help would be appreciated, yes i searched and did not find anything that helped. please let me know if you need any more information.

I encountered the same problem today. Reading other threads I saw where a person identified the bug. I will file today as well.
I purchased an album from iTunes - I don't recall what they call the product - LP view perhaps? It is the one with the liner notes and such. Anyway some of the the files in this folder have a .itlp suffix. If I skip this album the rest moves fine.
So basically first run a find to locate any folder/album with the offending suffix. Then select your entire iTunes library. Then un-select the items associated with the offending album. Then right click and select consolidate. That should work.
I did not do exactly this. Since I have a large library I selected 10-15,000 songs at a time and chose consolidate. This also works.

I got a new ipad mini and chose to set up as a copy of my iPad. Didn't sync the music on however as it is a smaller model, not enough room. Now trying to get some pictures and music on. Chose some pictures that were not in iPhoto, got a message that I could only sync with one library, chose cancel, and apply and it downloaded my pictures anyway. Now trying to sync some music but just get "The iPad “Linda’s iPad” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPad and sync with this iTunes library?" So I hit cancel. Have tried several times, same thing. What can I try?

You should be able to accept this message, it will cause existing music, photos (not camera roll) and videos (also excluding those in camera roll) to be removed and replaced with those from this computer. All other user data on the iPad will be unaffected.

Error message when importing from CD -Not enough room on "" to copy all of

Why the error and how do I fix it?

I am having the same problem and I know my hard drive is definitely not full

What does "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Not enough room in heap zone / )" mean?

When I click on finalize project in iMovie, an error message comes up that says "The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred. (Not enough room in heap zone / )". How do I fix it, and what does it mean?

re-post in the iMovie forum where all the people that use that software are. This is the Lion 10.7 forum.
