Phone says I do not have enough storage to take a photo but I have 15 gb available. Why? What can I do?

My phone keeps saying I do not have enough storage to take a picture, but I have about 15gb free/available. It stops and will not allow me to take any pictures. What can I do to fix it? The phone is my primary camera so this has become a big issue.

I suspect this has nothing to do with iCloud and all to do with the amount of free memory you have left of the iphone.  Go to Settings>General>Storage.  How much storage do you have remaining on the device (not icloud)?

    Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage > You will see backup, delete the ones you dont want, and even from the current phone labeled "this phone" and it will start the back up from tody on out until its full again.

    I have just installed Photoshop Elements for a MAC. MY photos were in iPhoto, I have 47,000 pictures and my drive on my Mac laptop is not large enough. I store my photos in iPhoto on an external drive. Can I store all my photos on an external drive when using Photoshop Elements? If so, in what format should they be stored in? I do I move them from iPhoto to the new storage location? How do I call them up in organizer? And how do I call them up to Edit? I do not want to store any pictures on my Apple Mac laptop. I want to store pictures on several external devices.

    Yes you can store images on an external hard dive and have them referenced in Organizer. It’s best to export copies to separate folders/subfolders and that will ensure iPhoto does not get corrupted.
    Alternatively you could continue to use iPhoto with the Elements Editor set up in the iPhoto prefs as your external editing app. Then there is no need to use Organizer and no need to duplicate your images.
    You can then call up photos directly from iPhoto as normal with the additional option e.g.
    Double-click on a thumbnail to edit in iPhoto editor.
    Control (right) - click on a thumbnail to edit in the elements app.

  • HT202774 I have I Phone 6 plus and I have Verizon Visual Vocie Mail service  I pay for it.  THe I Phone 6 plus will not allow the words to show on my screen from my voice messages.  What can I do.  I have been to Apple, Geek Squad, Verizon, searched  I ne

    I have tried to get a response from Apple concerning the  " I must have the readable version of the Visual Voice Mail from Verizon"  The I Phone 6 plus will not let the readable version of Visual Voice Mail from Verizon work on the phone.
    Why  what can be done to allow this to show on the IPhone6 plus screen.   please someone solve this    It should be so simple for the powers that built this phone.  Simple   but so important to the hard of hearing.  

    This is a user-to-user support forum so you may want to submit feedback to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Also, if Verizon is charging you for Premium Visual Voice Mail (which according to their website is currently the only one that offers voice to text) you should contact them for a refund as the "Check Device Compatibility" link at their http://www.verizonwireless.com/wcms/consumer/products/visual-voicemail.html shows that only 16 phones are supported and the iPhone is not one of them.
    If you decide to switch phones, you may also want to consider that feature from Verizon only transcribes the first 45 seconds of a voicemail.

  • I have enough storage on my iPad Mini but still says not enough available

    I am trying to download LEGO Batman for the iPad mini and have 2.5G free space.  The App state 1.33G to download but I continue to get an error that there is not enough avaiable storage?
    help?

    The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Why do i get a message that says my Icloud account does not have enough storage to continue my quest when i have 5G left?

    Need help

    how long (in days) since you have applied to the itunesconnect?
    Have you got the confirmation email from them? if not - you still have to wait. If wait time >2 weeks then I would suggest emailing ([email protected])   or calling them.
    they say you should get the confirmation or denial email in a week or a bit more.

  • ICloud will not back up my phone and says i do not have enough storage available.

    I used my sons Apple ID and password when setting up my iPhone 4s. It now says that i do not have enough storage available to back up my phone. How can i set up my own account without losing any data?
    <Edited by Host>

    Hey e.cliff,
    Thanks for the question. When you sign out of your son’s iCloud account you will be prompted to keep or delete the data on your phone. After you elect to keep the data on your device, you can setup your own iCloud account and the data will be merged/uploaded to your new account:

  • I am unable to download ios7. It says that I don't have enough storage available. On my phone it says that I have 6.2 GB used and 151 MGB available. Isn't the phone supposed to have 16 GB? I already deleted aps and some photos.

    I am unable to upgrade to ios 7. It is telling me that I don't have enough storage to upgrade. I checked my usage and it says that have used 6.2 GB and that I have 151MB available. I thought that the phone is supposed to have 16GB? I have already deletes some pictures videos and apps... not much has changed. What should I do??
    Also, I just got photostream and when I went to look throught the pictures on photostream, some have started distorting. The images seem to be zoomed in so much and I can't unzoom them. I worried that it will start ruining the photos on my laptop.

    As Carolyn said, you'll need to have space on your device.  If you want to see how space is being used up by what applications you can follow Carolyn's advice: Tap Settings > General > About
    One option is to delete some old applications.
    Another options is to temporarily remove your music.
    Another option is to transfer some photos to your computer to make space. To do this, open iPhoto and click "import photos.  Just be sure to check the option "Delete items from camera after downloading" or you won't actually delete anything and won't make any space!

  • HT4623 I can't update my phone or take pictures because it says I don't have enough storage so I upgrade my iCloud but I get the same message.

    I can't update my phone or take pictures. It says I do not have enough storage available. So, I purchased more iCloud storage and it says the same thing.

    Purchasing more Storage on iCloud will not increase the Storage Capacity of your iDevice.

  • I was given a new phone because of a technical problem with my other. Everything was replaced because of iCloud but now it is telling me I do not have enough storage room on this phone to perform a back-up. Can I fix this?!

    Why don't you call Apple tech support thru your provider. They will be able to help you in short order.
    PS - If you want help here you need to provide a little more information i.e. how much memory does your iPhone -4- have and how much free memory do you have after restoring from the cloud?

  • HT4847 my iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take photos/videos, etc. My icloud is on for photos/videos. Can I safely delete them on my phone to make storage room knowing I can access them on my icloud?

    My iphone storage is full and I do not have enough storage for upgrades or to take more photos/videos, download apps, etc. I do have my photos/videos ON for icloud sync but not sure if I can safely delete them from my iphone to make room. And if I can delete them from my phone how do I access them on my icloud? I logged in for the first time and do not see where to access photos/videos?

    You can't just store photos on icloud.  They can be included as part of a backup or when using photo stream to sync photos from one device to another, but 1) photo stream keeps photos for up to 30 days after which they are deleted from the servers, and 2) never rely on a backup to icloud as a way of storing photos.  (When photos are deleted from the device, they are no longer on recent backups, and older backups get deleted in short time.)
    When it comes to photos, users should sync them to a computer for archiving.  Then they can delete the photos from the device, as the computer will have copies.
    Photos in backups on icloud cannot be viewed on icloud.
    Read this...  import photos to your computer...

  • I damaged my iphone 5 and have been sent a new one, but i do not have enough storage to back up my phone and do not want to pay for more storage. can i get all of my contacts, photos, etc. on my new phone just by logging into my icloud account?

    Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud.  If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now).  Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
    When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier.
