Purchase more storage for update

I purchased additional storage so I could update my Iphone 4s to the new 8.
My phone is showing I have additional storage but under usage it is still showing
my original 5 with only 1.6 available. So I"m still not able to update.
Can someone tell me why?

The only way to free up space is to delete some of the data on the phone. The biggest space hog is likely to be movies, followed closely by music files.
This page suggests that upgrading a 4s to iOS8 may not be such a good idea, depending on how you feel about the limitations:

HT4623 I've purchased more storage for my mini iPad however I still can not download iOS 7?

If you mean you purchased more iCloud storage, that doesn't expand the amount of storage on your iPhone. iCloud storage only gives you more room for backups, documents, photo sharing, etc. You will still need to remove things from your iPad to give you enough room for the update. You'll need less room if you update via iTunes on your computer than if you update directly on the iPad.
BTW, you posted in the iPod touch forum. For many issues the answers will be the same, but it's usually best to post in the correct forum for your product so that there is no misunderstanding.

HT4859 Purchased more storage for ipod touch but not working

I have purchased a tv episode and my ipod touch is saying not enough storage. So I purchased more storage for $20, but apparently this is for cloud storage and not for other purchases? How can I get my $20 storage purchase over to my ipod touch so I can buy more videos, etc.
Thank you!

You need to contact Apple within 15 days of the purchase to get a refund for iCloud. Plusco lays out the details on this other thread.

HT4623 need more storage for update

Best things to delete for more storage for update?

Any movies or TV shows transferred from your iTunes library take up quite a bit of storage space and can be re-transferred after the update has been installed. If your iPhone's Camera Roll includes a lot of photos/videos, import those with your computer followed by deleting from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. The imported photos/videos can be transferred back to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process after the update has been installed.
Delete apps rarely if ever used which can be reinstalled after the update has been installed.

The iCloud storage is meant for your backup, you do not get more space on iPhone.
You can by connecting to computer iTunes for update then you will not have space problem

I have purchase more storage from I cloud and I want to known why my I pad 3 is not recording and is complaining of know space

You can't purchase more space for your iPad.
What you have done is purchased online storage, this doesn't mean you can fit more on your iPad.

How can I purchase more storage for assets?

What options do I have to upgrade my storage plan once I reach my limit?

We like Adobe's cloud service and would like to keep using it but we can't reliably use this tool if we're going to be limited. We'd like to plan for the future with this service. Some insight would be helpful.

Purchased more storage and it has not changed

I purchased more storage for my back up on I cloud and it has not registered still telling me I don't have enough storage

The error you received is referring to storage on the phone. You purchased iCloud storage which has nothing to do with the storage on the phone itself. Connect the phone to iTunes and the computer and update that way. Then you do not need to download the iOS to the phone and unpack it.

How do i update a iphone 4 to 7.o without purchasing more storage

most newer appts require at least a 7.0 operating system, how do i update to at least 7.0 without purchase more storage space.

Purchasing more storage will not magically give your iPhone more memory. Storage space is for iCloud storage. Delete unwanted apps; synch pictures to your computer and then delete them.

HT204053 I just purchased more storage space(10gb) for iPAD, but when I attempted to download an app An error message appeared prompting me to buy more storage. according to my ICloud I have 15gb available. Does anyone have any suggestions

If you are trying to download an app and get an error about not enough memory, it's talking about memory on your iPad, not in iCloud. I don't know what you mean by purchasing more storage space for your iPad, you can't add more memory to a device. You may have bought more memory in iCloud, but that's not going to fix your current problem. You need to delete songs or video, or some other large files from your iPad to make room for a new download.

I purchased an i-pad 2 and have about 330 apps. I bought the cheaper (16GB). I now cannot download or update apps "There is not enough available storage" I purchased more storage in settings, but still cannot update or download.

I purchased an i-pad 2 (16GB) and have about 330 apps. I cannot download or even update my apps (get the message there is not enough storage available to download). I purchased more storage through settings, but still nothing. Help?

You cannot purchase more storage on the iPad, you purchased more storage on iCloud.
How much space is left on your iPad?

When you purchase extra cloud storage, does that allow more storage for music, apps, and so forth to be downloaded?

When you purchase extra cloud storage, does that allow more storage for music, apps, and so forth to be downloaded?

So only documents? it doesnt store pictures, videos, or any of that stuff? or it doesnt store settings to your applications? I just want to know how exactly iCloud can effectively help me with storage because I only have a 16 gb ipod 4s. I have already decided I will not download any music onto it or videos

Just purchased more storage space for iphone6 but not showing?

I just purchased more storage space for my iphone6, 20gb, but my backup storage still shows 5gb? How do I troubleshoot this problem, my credit card info is accurate?

You cannot install more storage space on an iDevice. If you don't have space on the device to download to it, then you need to delete stuff from it. Buying more cloud space does not do a thing for you unless you store to the cloud and remove from the device.

I just purchased extra storage for my iCloud. How and where do I access it? I purchased movies and audio books to find out that I didn't have enough storage (the reason for the extra storage purchase). I have no idea where to find them now. Help?!

How do I use my iCloud???
I purchased 4 movies and 2 audio books from iTunes only to find out my iPad2 didn't have enough storage, so I purchased more storage from iCloud.
My iTunes account only shows the 4 movies that need to still be downloaded (not the two books) After purchasing 20GB from iCloud I am still receiving the "There is not enough available storage. You can manage your storage in Settings" message. I have gone to my Settings, where it shows I have the new, extra storage. I have set all the iCloud settings as shown on the Apple website. In my iCloud settings, it shows I have 17GB available out of 25GB. In my General settings, it shows that I have a capacity of 28.6 GB, while my Available is 2.9GB. (????)
I don't know why I still can't download the movies. I wouldn't know where to go (how to get to) the iCloud if I could...
Also, iTunes has sent me receipts for the movies and audio books I purchased as well. Where are they???
Thank you SO very much for any assistance you can offer me!

Cancel your storage upgrade
If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year.
Note: Partial refunds are available where required by law.

Since I purchased about $70 worth of movies and books and they won't load onto my iPad, do you think iTunes will refund my money?
If you make more room on your Device perhaps you can View/ use the purchases...
However if you would prefer a Refund... you can always ask... be sure to explain your situation...
