Ran out of storage

I have used up all of my storage so my phone won't backup my contacts.  Is there any way I can delete some storage?  Not really kean about paying for storage.  Can I find out what is in my current storage?

  • Ran out of storage space

    Recently ran out of storage space on my laptop, where I have been storing all music/videos purchased from iTunes. The music library points to a location in the hard disc of the laptop. Now that I have no more space on the internal hard disc I acquired an external 250 GB disc. What's the best way to move forward with iTunes? I don't really know what to do.
    1. Should I copy all existing music/videos to the external drive?
    2. Should I point the library to the new location on the external drive?
    3. Should I delete all existing music/videos from internal storage and leave them on the external drive?
    4. How to avoid double entries of each song/video?
    Thanks for your help.

  • I ran out of storage for backup. I deleted 1/2 of my pics that was on my iphone and all the videos that I had and also Apps I haven't used in awhile.  I still get a message that I can't backup my phone or Ipad.  What else can I do?

    Hello Terri0125,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You have a couple of options here. First you can use this article to manage your iCloud storage:
    iCloud: Managing your iCloud storage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847
    You can manage the storage either from your device, or from a computer. Whichever is more convenient for you.
    You can also backup your device to iTunes for a local backup if you want.

  • I was told that it takes about 10 years to outdate a MAC desktop, which I think is the case, but I have ran out of storage.  What is the best option?

    There is no one best for everyong.
    For most though: a dedicated boot drive. $105 Samsung 840 SSD is best in that category
    WD Black in 1 to 4TB (1-4 drives) for up to 16TB of storage.
    Sonnet Tempo Pro PCIe SSD card to boot from and boost SSD speed, as well as free up your drive bays for the other drives.
    2-4 backup sets. One or two used for TimeMachine. Two or three clones of your system. Even clone your critical data.
    And then there is external storage of unlimited size, capacity and expansion.
    Upgrade your system drive every year or two and move the current drive to use as a backup set.

  • Ran Out of Storage While Editing

    I am about 2/3 through editing a large file that is about an hour long in the timeline.  I know this is a large file, but so far, Final Cut Pro X has been able to handle it without acting too sluggish.  However, I'm about 2/3 through with the project now and I ran out of room on my 1TB external drive where all of the media was stored.  At import, I selected "create optimized media" for all of the clips. 
    I am wondering, at this point, how can I reduce the amount of storage this project is taking up so I can continue working on it off of my external drive?  Right now, the Final Cut Pro library file in the drive is at 870GB, and FCP will not continue unless I free up storage.  When research this issue, I saw that creating proxy media can help but was unsure about doing this so far into the project, and not completely sure, if at this point, it would actually free up space since I didn't do this at import...
    Any tips or input would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thanks Russ.  I have ordered up a larger drive and suspected that was part of the issue.  But since this is my first large project of this size, I thought there may also be a way to be more efficient with the amount of space the project takes up.  870GB seems very large, even for an hour long HD video.  So my focus, in addition to getting more storage available, is also on how to be as efficient as possible with the file size, which is why I am trying to see if there are ways I may not have realized (since I'm very new to this) of decreasing the file size while still maintaing the quality of the final output. 
    It seems as though using proxy files may be an answer but just now want to make sure the conversion to that doesn't have a negative effect on my current work in progress.  Any input is appreciated.

  • My phone wouldn't back up with iCloud because it ran out of storage . I purchased more iCloud storage after a week and after doing an iTunes backup and now it won't backup with the cloud

    My phone ran out of iCloud storage. After a week I did an iTunes backup then bought more iCloud storage and now it won't back up with the iCloud.

    Do you have sufficient storage now?  And did you turn on iCloud backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup?

  • HT5731 I was downloading the movie Warrior when I ran out of storage. I made space available, and now when I try to resume downloading my movie it says error cannot be downloaded. How can I download my movie?

    I was downloading the movie warrior when I ran out of available storage on my macbook air. I made storage available and when I click resume download it pops up an error message saying the movie cannot be downloaded. How do I download my movie?

    Go to the Store tab in iTunes on your syncing computer and click on Check for Available Downloads.  If it is not there report the problem to iTunes:

  • My iphone 4s ran out of storage after syncing to my laptop

    Hi everyone!
    Please help me.  Before I synced my ipad3 to my laptop, i still have available storage.  Now its totally nothing.
    Also, almost all of my apps shuts down just seconds after I begin to use them.  I cannot understand what is happening. 
    Could it be the syncing, or the ios latest update.
    Thank you in advance.

    Each update should be expected to use slightly more storage than its predecessor.
    But regardless, it sounds like you need to remove a considerable amount from your iPhone.
    Consider clearing stuff.  Perhaps in the future consider using Autofill described here:

  • MY IPAD WILL NOT LET ME DOWNLOAD ANY MORE APPS UNLESS I DELETE SOME APPS I HAVE NO IDEA HOW I CAN BE OUT OF ROOM I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 10 SONGS NAD VERY FEW APPS ACTIVE AND IT WON'T LET ME BACKUP MY IPAD IT SAYS IM OUT OF STORAGE I ONLY HAVE 5 MG

    I can't do the update it says I don't have enough storage it wont even let me download apps, I have very little on my Ipad i only have 1 song 24 apps 623 photos 96 videos and this has 13 GB

    The 96 videos are probably the space hog.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    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 5/6/7, 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.

  • HT4914 Out of storage space

    My old laptop only has a 35G HDD. I was trying to upload all of my CD's and quickly ran out of storage space. With iCloud can I remove all of the stored music from my HDD once it has been matched, thus freeing up space?

    You can, but the content will only be accessible when connected to the Internet.  If that's a none issue, then go ahead and do it.
    Otherwise, get a larger drive for the computer or an external drive to store your iTunes library on.

  • IPad running out of storage

    My iPad ran out of storage when there isn't anything there, I tried deleting apps but it's still remain the same and so I can't get it back anymore so what can I do?

    Try resetting the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    If that doesn't help connect your iPad to your computer running iTunes and sync the iPad. That often clears up storage problems.

  • I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage!

    I have an ipad&iPhone but used the same iCloud account for both during setup.i now have ran out of iCloud storage! If I delete the account from iPhone will I lose the apps from my ipad?
    And will new account that i set up on iPhone give me 5gb storage? I assume its not as easy it sounds, it never is!
    It is the camera roll on both devices that are using the storage up, and I know I can transfer the photos to a hard copy, which I will but if I can get 5gb from two separate iCloud accounts then that's the route I will take!
    Many thanks in advance for your help.
    Ps I had originally synced the iPad and iPhone but as far as this apple illiterate operator is aware I managed to stop them syncing a few months at lol.thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I assume that the same account is required on both devices (it would be rather awkward otherwise) and that most of your space is consumed by back up.
    You will need to buy more storage or back up to iTunes instead of iCloud.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • HT201318 I upgraded to the $20 10GB plan in Nov 2011. Storage space ran out, so I upgraded to the $40 20GB plan two days ago (July 2012). Shouldn't the original 10GB plan (which would have lasted until Nov 2012) have been pro-rated?

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • My iPad mini ran out of battery when installing an app and now the app has gone?

    I updated Quiz Up today while my iPad mini had 2% battery left! and I thought this would be enough but just as the update was installing my iPad ran out of battery so I immediately put it on charge! when my iPad turned on the app was still there but was darker and said 'waiting' underneath, so I then went to the App Store to continue to update but when I went to the updates section the update was gone, I them we to back to the apps location and the app had gone, so I went to reinstall it but it only said open next to it, and when I press this it does nothing, I would like the app back but I don't know how to get it back, any suggestions? I thought the all might be corrupt but I can't delete it and reinstall it because the icon has gone and it doesn't show up in spotlight, so what do it do?

    Maybe:

  • Pinterest was taking up 13 GB on my phone. I deleted it, it ran out of battery and when i plugged it back in- i cant get it to start off of the apple logo screen. Help!!

    My phone had been telling me i did not have enough storage- and i finally found out that pintrest was taking up 13 GB! When i found out, i deleted it. Soon my phone ran out of battery, and it was a while before i could plug it back in. Once i could plug it in it stayed on the Apple logo- and will not start. I can hold the power and start button and it will go black, but thats it. I have plugged it in but itunes wants me to restore it- we just got back from vacation and all our photos are on my phone!! I dont want to lose them!! GRRR PLEASE HELP!!!

    Here's how to perform the restore:
    HT1414
    If you can actually get to restore, maybe (I estimate a 0.01% chance) you'll be able to do a backup before the restore.  Actually, from the symptoms you describe, I suspect a restore won't work either and you'll need to do a recovery.
    Just in case, if you need to recover (restore fails), here's how.  Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once.
