Not enough space for iOS 7 update

I did my update yesterday just fine and it worked but when I went to help my sister with her update it isn't working. It says that she has 5.5 GB used and only 825 MB available. She has deleted apps, pictures, and videos and now all that is left listed is "Photos & Camera 111 MB" and "Safari 1.2 MB." We have no idea how to make any more space since all that is left on the phone is the original iPhone apps that you are unable to delete. Any ideas on what we could do to make space to complete the update? All advice is welcomed! Thank you.

Before deleting some of the photos, music and apps to clear some space, I recommend you to reclaim storage space by cleaning up your iPhone, here is a detailed guide:

Not enough space for iOS 7.1 update

I can't update my iphone because I need 1.9GB of space which, apparently, I don't have.
According to the usage figures there is actually 3.4GB available.
What have I missed?

Problem solved by doing the update via iTunes.
This doesn't work via WiFi, the iPhone needs to be connected via the cable to the Computer.
When iTunes is started it will request the update and just follow the instructions.

Visual C++ Runtime Error R6016 not enough space for thread data

I get these errors on startup of my Windows 8.1 (with all latest updates installed) after login.
1. It would be helpful if the error message actually identified the exe or dll causing the problem.
Program: C:\Progra...
Is not a very helpful clue to the source of the error and because of its brevity comes across as being contemptuous of the user.

2. From the active apps Desktop toolbar it appears that this problem may be associated with
Apple IE DAV
3. I suspect that the problem announced by this error might also be contributing to the the fact that my Chrome browser now appears to be overlaid with a pink matt variation on its entire colour scheme. I have reported the pink matt error directly to Google

If the issue doesn’t appear in clean boot mod, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check
half of the problematic half services.
Otherwise, please test the issue in Safe mode and let me know the results, then provide the screenshot of the error.

TS2755 How to I delete messages(Saved) so that I can create enough space for my update?

How to I delete messages(Saved) so that I can create enough space for my update?

If by "update" you mean you are trying to update iOS, then the way to do this is to use iTunes on your computer to perform the update.
Plug your iPhone into (the current version of) iTunes on your computer. Let it sync. Then do "Check for Updates" from the iPhone's summary page in iTunes.

Macintosh HD not enough space for time machine backup?

I have a 128GB Macbook Air. When I first got it, I made a Time Machine backup of the system, but now when I go into the recovery and choose to restore from backup, it says the Macintosh HD only has 112 GB and that it's not enough space for some reason. Why would it have me do a backup that I can't Restore? I need to restore the backup.

Nokia 100 (not enough space for new messages)

Hi!
From time to time i get messages that there is a text message that wants to come through but that there is not enough space. I then delete some inbox messages and then within minutes i get the text. However, recently it has taken much more time for the text to come in after deleting old messages.
And why do i all of the sudden get a message that there is not enough space, then i delete some old messages, and NOTHING comes through? Why am i getting this so-called false alarm from time to time now?
I really hope someone can help me with this problem!
Thank you!

Hi Friend,
Much probably that "others" data is taking the most of usage space.
So start to solve this issue deleting text messages.
If the issue persists, connect your iPad with iTunes and check how much space "others" data is taking. try to reset your device by backup in iTunes.
If still not working, I advice you to search ib other foruns. There are many pleople that faced this problem and successfully solve it
Hope it helps

Not Enough Space on iPhone to Restore Backup!!!
sms and contcts and photos only i needd
I do not care apps anthor thing ..
so what is the solution

You'll need to extract your contacts/photos from your backup, using something like this:

You can then sync that stuff to your phone. For SMS's, while you can extract them from your backup, there's no way to get them on your phone.

Not enough space for Time Machine on new disk

So my old 256 GB hard drive crashed and I bought a smaller SSD with just 128 GB. When I try to restore my Time Machine backup, obviously, it says that there is not enough space and won’t do anything. Is there any way to do a partial restore?

What do you want to restore with the 'partial' restore.

I have purchased additional iCloud space. It shows I still have space, however my iPad mini shows I don't have enough space for the update for ios7. My photos are in the cloud, I guess, so why don't I have enough space?

If I delete photos on my iPad mini, can I still see them in iCloud storage? How do I free up more space on my iPad without removing photos?

If you delete photos from your iPad, they will also be deleted from iCloud and you'll lose them. Also, having additional iCloud space won't give you any more space on your device. You can't move any data to iCloud and delete it from your device. All you iCloud data is also on you device, and if you delete it from your device, it is also deleted from iCloud.
One option to free up space for the update is to delete the music from your iPad, then sync it back using iTunes after you update. (You can delete it all by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, then tap Music>Edit, then tap next to All Music.)
Also, if you purchsed the iCloud storage upgrade in the last 15 days thinking you chould use it to free up space on your iPad, you can call the Apple online store for your country and get a refund (1-800-MY-APPLE in the U.S. and Canada.)

Not enough free storage space for ios update

My wife's iPad Air MD786LL/A with 32GB. Running iOS 8.0.2. I bought it for her last year for her birthday to replace her old iPad. She won't give up the old iPad. I keep her iPad Air up to date from time-to-time but when I tried to update the iOS, it said there was not enough free storage space (requires 2.4GB and the iPad Air only has 1.8GB). She also has a MacBook Air running Yosemite and an iPhone 4S on iOS 8.2. The old iPad runs iOS 7 and won't do the multi-device sync with MBA and iPhone (which is why I was trying move her to the more modern iOS). I need to free up some space on iPad Air.
Songs: 278
Videos: 40
Photos: 7,695
Apps: 50
I note that Settings>General>About does not list Books in the list of things on the iPad Air. Why is this?
Everything syncs to iCloud.
Q: can I delete photos on the iPad Air without removing them from her MacBook Air or iPhone?
I note that the iCloud Photos is still Beta. When I went to turn that on, it said that the 7,695 photos would be removed from the other devices. I did not proceed.
Q: How does one move a book back to the cloud after it has been read? This should free up space.

Not enough space for updates

I don't have enough space on the hard drive to install updates. I need to move my itunes to My passport for Mac but am not sure how to do it and don't want to lose the music I have copied from my CDs. Is there a simple solution?

You need ideally 2 archives of your valuable data. Meaning 2 HD, one as a Time Machine backup and a separate (or more) HD to archive your important data.
Grab a 1TB Toshiba or Seagate HD for $65 and drag and drop all your important files onto them and clear up space off your Macbook Air.
In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. You should never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’.
As for your passport WD drive, open it up on your desktop and drag your MP3 music files to same.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Not enough space for Win XP service pack 3

I am working on an install of Win. XP Pro SP2 for the principal of our middle school. I first got Leopard all updated, installed 3rd party software, completed updates to all and then ran Boot Camp assistant. Thinking that 5 gig would not be nearly enough space I made the Windows partition 25 gigs. I completed with the XP install and started the updates process. Shortly thereafter a message popped up that stated the partition was 4 gigs too small for installation of Service Pack 3 and I had to back out of the updates process. What are my options at this point? Can the windows partition be increased without having to start over with the windows install?

ICloud - error message 'not enough space' for a 380mb document - I've got 25G? How to share from my Mac?

I get the message 'Your document couldn’t be published because there isn't enough space', when I try to upload this Pages document from my Mac. First, you wait while it converts it to .pdf, then to Word, then you get this message. I've got 25G storage space. What's it being used for? And more importantly, how do I store this doc on iCloud so I can use it? PS, I'm running Lion, and IOS5, all brand-squeaking updated.
