Revel Storage Space Hassle on IOS

So I have a pretty extensive collection of photographs, a couple hundred gigs worth, and I thought that Adobe Revel would be the way to go for storing them quickly and easily while having access on all my devices.
The problems is that the Adobe Revel app for my iPhone 4 (along with all IOS Revel Apps) insists on storing thumbnails of ALL my photos from my entire 16,000+ photo collection. This means that upwards of 500 megabytes worth of space on my phone is constantly dedicated to storing thumbnails that I will rarely need. While this might not seem like a big deal to some, on a device with 14 gigs worth of free space, 500 megabytes is the equivalent of half a movie or a few medium length audiobooks.
I appreciate the convenience of being able to scroll through everything quickly because it is already loaded. I understand that. But its the 21st century and I think we should have a little choice as to how much space this app takes up. I mean, my photo collection isn't exactly going to be getting any smaller is it?
I think we should be able to set within Revel HOW MUCH STORAGE SPACE the app will use for these thumbnails instead of having the decision be EVERYTHING by default. Given my own choice I would set it to everything marked as a favorite and everything from the past 2 weeks. I think that is a fair thing to ask for a developer as big as Adobe that could easily work this into their product.
Because right now the app is completely broken. Any attempt to open the app causes the message to pop up "Not enough local storage space: The import was stopped because there is not enough storage available for Revel on this device. Please free up space and try again." Dismissing this message only allows it to pop up again IMMEDIATELY. Can we at least fix the app so that I can still import to the cloud from my phone even when my phone cannot accept any more thumbnails?
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

If you use a MAC then you can check the status view of the library(s) and to ensure nothing is in the upload queue. You can do this by looking at each library, and clicking on the dot to the left of the name. It will give you a status for that library. If you are sure all the uploads are done, clear the caches for each and every library.You may have more than one library using space.
On your iphone or ipad, go to the library view for each library and look at the bottom left cloud icon above the libary icon. Next to that you will see "up to date" if it has completed the sync. You can click on the cloud icon for more information.
You can also confirm the images are uploaded by signing into the same account using another device or using a browser at www.adoberevel.com. Try downloading some original images. If other uploads are complete, you should see the new images upload and be able to view them.
If the files are in sync and clearing the cache does not help, I suggest you delete the app and reload it. Your photos will still be safely stored in the cloud. You will have some delay the first time you use it due to loading in the thumbnails. Please let me know if this reduces the amount of space used.

After upgrading to IOS 5 my storage space in "other" is using 4.1GB of space..

After I updated to IOS 5, my storage space lost a huge amount of space.. The "Other" category is showing 4.1GB and I don't even see what it is that is using that space..

"Other" is for things that don't match the remaining categories defined by Apple. Quite often, a large "other" is the result of an app orphaning data on your phone. The app no longer cares about the data, but the phone says it wasn't properly deleted, so the phone keeps it around. It is possible that you also have a third party map program that has stored a large amount of map data as "other" for off-line usage.
In most cases, you can only recover this space by epfroming a factory restore, then re-installing your apps and data manually. My 2.5 year old iPod Touch has about 450MB of "other" and my iPhone 4 has about 580MB. I keep an eye on them and as long as it isn't causing me problems, I tend to not worry too much.

I have an iPod 4s and I am trying to update to IOS 6.1.6. I keep trying to download but it will not allow me to click download and install. I have checked my storage and I have more than enough storage space available. Do you guys have any suggestions?

The only available, signed, iOS, for your iPod, is iOS 7.1. That's why you can't install iOS 6.1.6.

How is it possible to cancel (not suspend) a video download from iTunes Store (iPad under iOs 6)? (I do not have sufficient storage space on my iPad)

Hi,
I am facing the following difficulty with my iPad (model MD369NF/A) under iOs 6.1.3.
I have bought 2 videos on iTunes Store, but I do not succeed in downloading them: an error message mentions that iPas does not have enough storage capacity.
As a matter of face, when I look at the way the storage is used, I find “Others” for around 10 Go (is there some king of reserved space for the downloading of videos from iTunes Store?), and only a very small number of Mo available.
I would simply like to cancel the downloading of the 2 videos, and hope that it would free the "Others" storage space (in the hypothesis that "Others" is space reserved for videos once downloaded), but I do not manage to do it. I can suspend the downloading, but I do not see how to cancel it.
Would you have a solution to propose ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Nicolas

Hey Nicolas36,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article outlines issues with free space, capacity, and a large amount of "other" space. You'll want to connect your iPad to your computer with iTunes to follow the steps:
iOS: 'Not enough free space' alert when trying to sync
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1503
One symptom of this issue will be displayed in iTunes where the Capacity indicator for the iOS device will report a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the device. To resolve this issue:
- Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
- Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
- Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
- Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes.
Thanks,

IOS 8: iTunes Match hogging huge amount of storage space on iPhone (6 Plus)

Hi there!
I use iTunes Match for a long time now, Have about 18k Songs in in all tagged incl. covers (compressed with JPEG mini app)
After updating to iOS 8, I'm quite sure that Match seems to be the root of a massive use of "other" storage space on my new iPhone 6 Plus. I opted for the 16GB because I thought I don't need more because of iTunes Match. Apparently I was mistaken as the baseline design by Apple is no longer sufficient for using the basic services Apple provides. I tried to solve the problem by restoring the Phone two weeks ago, but the problem reoccurs no matter wether I create a new iPhone and activate iTunes Match or restore it form an iCloud Backup.
I made some screenshots to show the problem:
Note that I have deleted every single cache-file prior to this screenshot and that there is not a single music file on the iPhone.
There also still seems to be a problem with the delete-function integrated in iOS, as music-data is not always wiped, but that's old news I think:
After experimenting with deactivating and activating iTunes Match on the phone and downloading a short album (~50MB) for testing purposes, this happened:
I am out of ideas how to fix this...Applecare is more or less not available right now here in Germany because of the iOS 8.0.1 disaster.
I'm really ****** of as more and more space is eaten up on my phone without even having any use of it. Restoring my iPhone every 2 weeks can't be the answer.
Does anybody have an idea how to fix this? Is this problem a known bug and fixed in iOS 8.1?
Any help is appreciated
Kind regards,
Thorbjörn

Hello Dan,
I am having the exact same issue except mine might be a little worse. I restored my phone and "set up as new" about 3 times. I didn't have much to lose as far as "backup" was concerned so I just went ahead and wiped the whole phone clean. I am missing 10gb.
I Have accepted the fact that iOS takes 5.2GB of storage to run my phone (which is ridiculous). I have also added up all my used data in the "manage storage" portion in setting and it adds up to about 2gb. So basically I have about 10GB unaccounted for. I chatted with apple twice and talked to supervisors and they all tried to walk me through the same process of restoring, rebooting, clearing cache, resetting etc. nothing has worked. I've come to the conclusion that it's a faulty flash drive and we just need to return our phones for new ones. Nothing can be done.

Possible Bug in iOS 8 via Streaming iTunes Video results in lost storage space?

Hi looking for suggestions or help on this issue if you can.
I'm not sure if the issue is my attempting to stream a movie from iTunes under iOS 8 or if it is a result of the iOS 8 update (size) itself or some type of memory leak or inability of memory to be released back to the OS.
This AM I had ~4.8GB of free space on my 16GB iPhone 5C; running under iOS 7. I then updated to iOS 8 by connecting the phone to my iMac and doing the install through iTunes under a USB wired connection. I however I did NOT check after the update how much space was "Available" after the update on the iPhone itself.
While streaming a long movie (LOTR extended) from the iCloud through the Apple Video app; now under iOS 8, I received a notification that my Storage space was nearly used up. While looking in Settings\Usage\Storage I can see that I had roughly 250MB of space "Available" but only 12.7GB was "USED." Here is were things get strange. Looking into the "Manage Storage" section I added up all of the space "used" by the apps listed (Video app was NOT listed) and came up with a sum of 6GB of used space. Now why is that? The listed 12.7GB of used space is not equal to 6GB what is using up the remaining 6.7GB?
Now my research of the web suggests iOS 7 was ~3.5GB in size and my best GUESS at iOS 8 is that it is a16GB - 12.7GB = 3.3GB; although I thought iOS 8 was going to use up more space? For the sake of argument lets say iOS 8 is 5.8GB and my calculated Used Space it 6GB, that equals 11.8GB. Where are the remaining 4.2GB?
Keep in mind I added No new apps (albeit a few updates to FindMyFrieds, Remote, Pages, AirPort Utility, FindMyiPhone all to be iOS 8 compatable). I also force quit the VIDEO app thinking that the video that was streaming was taking up local storage while it was playing. Is it possible that the memory was used up by the stream and is not being Released; hence it seems I have no available space?
Powering the phone down and re-starting it did not seem to do anything.
I still need to go home, connect to iTunes and double check if the available space on the phone matches to what iTunes see.
Thanks and sorry for the long question, just wanted to get as many variables out there in case anyone else has had this issue.

searching.4.answers . . . sounds like you too were able to "inform" your device that the content is no longer needed, great. I posted a solution that later didn't work for me when I streamed another video (see my post dated Nov 1 - cjdmedia). I then had great success using what others in this forum have suggested . . . I downloaded the free ibrowse app (do a quick google search for this and you'll find the website for it). Sure enough it was a piece of cake to navigate to the iCloud assets folder and find and delete the video file. That is my solution from now on. Unfortunate that I need to do that to have my storage space clear.
Also in my post I shared that I thought this was a bug, unfortunately I now believe that this could be intended behavior. The only question is how long does this data just sit there until it is removed by the system? or is it removed by the system? If it is not removed by the system at some point then a strong argument could be made that this is a bug. Streaming means that data is not permenantly saved on the device, right?
My fundamental issue is that I have 16GB storage that really means I have a total of 12.8GB (so says my iPhone). With no personal photos or videos, only 300MB of music, some books etc, and all the apps I want installed on my iPhone I end up with only 9GB available for anything else. A typical movie in HD takes up half of that. Not aware that the data of movies was being stored on my phone while streaming I completely filled up my iPhone only days after completely wiping and setting up. When I got the notification that my phone was full when trying to take video of my kids Trick-or-Treating - I was infuriated that something was hogging the memory in my phone, perhaps I had upgraded to iOS 8 too early before known issues were eliminated. I thought I had 9GB of space for pictures and video! To be fair, Apple did not ruin Halloween because my wife had her iPhone. I also know that this "issue" has been around since iOS 7 (based on my searching) and I haven't seen any confirmation it has ever been dealt with. From another apple discussion forum stream itunes purchased movies to iPad I discovered that if your device is almost full you can still "stream" because somehow the system knows how much space you have and then behaves more like what you'd expect from streaming which is interesting.
So to wrap this long post . . . it is obvious that to stream there needs to be data stored locally, but it is unclear how much data and how long this data will stay on your device. The quickest solution (requires a computer) is to use the iBrowse app and manually delete the movie files in the iCloud assets folder.

Storage space iOS 8

I have literally no storage space left after installing iOS 8. I can't reinstall any of my previous apps because iOS 8 took up all of my storage space. I heard that this is temporary, and if so, when will my storage space be freed up again? Please no comments about how I should delete photos and apps that are taking up too much space, because i have NOTHING on my phone. Help?
<Edited by Host>

I'm having a similar problem with my two iPads - a 128 GB iPad4 and a 128 GB iPad Mini3, both running iOS8.1. I first noticed the problem yesterday, and spent some time trying to diagnose what was going on this morning. Whatever storage space I opened up by either deleting Apps or videos, the open storage space would slowly get mysteriously gobbled up between times when I would return to the Usage/Manage Usage screen, and within 30 minutes would count down to 0 bytes available. I opened up over 10GB in a couple of steps, and in both cases, the storage would slowly count down to 0. I even took a snapshot of the detailed usage of all my top Apps (everything using > ~300MB), and none of these top usage apps were increasing in used storage size. I also tried shutting down every app, re-booted a couple of time, and went back to the Usage screen to see what was going on. In one case, the open storage space appeared to get larger, but when I backed out of the detailed usage-by-app screen, the available storage space had quickly dropped back to zero.
Any assistance or suggestions of something to try would be welcome.

I can't update to ios 7.1 and I have enough storage space

I have tried updating to ios 7.1 and it said I did not have enough storage space. I removed over 700 photos and the storage space is now 4.8 gb, but it still won't install. I have tried switching off and on again to refresh the storage capacity, but the update still won't install. Please help.

Text messages containing photos & videos can take up a lot of space as well. That being said, if you have deleted these, check your Other space when connected to iTunes. This can take up a lot of space and can be addressed using Kappy's User Tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5142
Good luck.

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.

My "other" file is stealing my storage space and my local apple store has no idea how to find out what is in it let alone how to clear it so I can upgrade to iOS 7. He thinks my iPad is not really deleting things but storing it here.

My "other" file is stealing my storage space and my local apple store is aware of the problem but has no idea how to view it's content or how to empty it. He thinks my deleted files are going here instead of being deleted. Raw beginner here! Need help.

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.

HT203082 When can I delete photos from my iPad 3 (IOS 8.1.3) knowing they are safe in iCloud? I want to release storage space.

My iPad 3 is busily uploading all my stuff to iCloud Photo Library Beta. When it is done, is it safe to delete albums from my iPad? I need to release more storage space. And when I want to find my photos in iCloud, how do I do that?

Icloud Photo Library is not an Archive. If you delete photos from your device they will also be deleted from the iCloud Photo library.
Read through the FAQ here: iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
if you want to archive your photos use a service like Dropbox.

Update iOS but short of storage space

I'd like to update my iPod touch, but I see a message that I don't have enuf storage space. What's the best tack? Simply delete the 3G of music, perform the update, then resend?

It is up to you.

Need to free up storage space but want to make sure photos from my camera roll are definitely in iCloud before deleting them. iPad3, IOS 8.1.3

I have plenty of iCloud storage space but need to free up storage on the iPad. If I delete the camera roll photos and the photostream, will I be able definitely to access the photos in iCloud? in Settings > iCloud I have no iCloud Library....so I'm confused. If someone can help, I'd be grateful.

Import photos through iPhoto. (You will prompt to delete from iPhone when import competes).
Backup your Mac. (At least the iPhoto Library)
Backup to iTunes.
Backup to iCloud. (Check in Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage>your device name>Camera Roll ON).

How do I extend the storage space on my iphone?

Hi Guys
I want to extend the storage space across my idevices since my wife can't stop taking photos of our new addition to the family on her iphone.
We already both use iTunes Match so there is music on our phones it's all streamed off the cloud which works well I can recommend this.
The problem now comes from the fact we now need extra storage space for photos and videos taken on ios. Photo stream does a good job of syncing photos across devices but not video. It would be nice if iCloud did this but found that it fell short of the mark on anything but backing up my iphone since the things it stores in the cloud seem limited.
Dropbox seems like a good alternative to this since it will work on all devices but may require management on a separate computer and am not sure if it will work with streaming video I guess I can give it a go and see.
Has anybody got a good experience with photo / video streaming across idevices that they can share?
Regards
Chris

Hi
Thanks for your response.
Buying a bigger iphone was just too obvious an answer.
We already have the backup to mac in place it just means that to view pics that you need to turn on the big machine.
I would rather have them available to view via a cloud service of some kind.
Anyone have any experiences to add?
Regards
Chris
