Not enough storage error - locked up ipad - tried common fix but home button is inop as well...

My home button quit working before my ipad was a year old and I have been dealing with the inconvenience by using the five finger reduction method to get out of apps.   Now I have this error for not enough storage and I can't reboot.  What do I do?

Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    Ipad retina screen stuck on "Not Enough Storage" error on screen and option to close or go to setting is not active

    You could reboot your device by pressing the home button + power button at the same time for about 10 sec. until it shuts down and restarts again.

    I have the "not enough storage" message on my ipad but nothing happens when I press the "close" or "settings" option.  It is like the ipad is locked.

  • PSE8 not enough storage error

    I keep getting the same error over an over again.  Everytime I try to add Texture to document I get the "not enough storage error".  If I close out PSE and reopen it then it will work again for a little while.  Then it errors again.  I have plenty of storage capacity so I am not sure what is causing the error. Any ideas as to how to fix this?

    In PSE8 editor under Edit->Preferences: check Performance settings:
    *taking the cursor/mouse on each option words will display the description of that option:
    Modify the default settings as per your needs:
    1) Set the total % PSE can use of available RAM.
    2) reduce the number of history states (Undo states)
    3) Under scratch disks area in case you have more than 1 drive do check so it can use memory from more than 1 drives of your machine.
    After making this changes close PSE and launch again.
    I am sure memory performance should improve. Let me know if you have any comments.

  • TS4009 Can't use iPad due to "not enough storage" error

  • I am getting a Not Enough Storage error message on my iPad.  How do I fix it?

    I can't sign in or even use the iPad.  It is frozen and the only message that comes up is Not Enough Storage This iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough ICloud storgage available.  You can manage our storage in Settings.  It will not allow me to push the close or settings button to do so.  I have plugged it in to the computer and it will not allow me to shut it off.  HELP!!!

    Try this now.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up

    Sorry but what Firefox has anything to do with Skype? Nothing. People getting this error even on fresh Windows installs (firefox is not default software). Cleaning DbTemp is not helpfull, becouse problem is in Skype itself. When you launch it will create it again. There is some memory leak and devs should know it by now. I can't believe it still not fixed people reported it even on 7.0 version.

  • HT4759 I have a iPhone and iPad can't use my iPad as it says not enough storage and that the iPad can't be backed up and I can't get use my iPad but all messages and notifications r showing but can't get into them what should I do?

    Got new iPad 4 a week ago and it's saying not enough storage and when I go to tap on settings nothing is happening and I won't switch off!

  • 5GB free, not enough storage error, and can't manage storage

    i having this problem:
    my icloud show me that i have 5gb free from 5gb, but when i try to backup my iphone it says that i have not enough storage, even so i backup only my contacts.
    i try to enter 'manage storage' but when i press it, it is just loading and doing nothing (stays on the same screen).
    i have to back my iphone up, please help me !!

    Try to hard reset by pressing two buttons - home and power at the top. Once restarts go to manage storage. If you ready to buy extra storage buy, if not use that article to turn off some of the things, starting with camera roll backup. Understand - that while it will probably have enough capacity after that you really want to backup pictures and videos, take it as band aid not solution.

  • HT1430 My Ipad is froze with the message  ...Not Enough Storage.... But I can not do anything.  It will not reset or anything.  What do I do now.

    iPad frozen with the message .. Not enough Storage.. This iPad can not be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available.  You can manage your storage in Settings. 
    I can not get out of this message to get to my settings.
    not able to Shur Down either.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If that works then you can manage your iCloud storage via Settings > iCloud
