Saying there isn't enough room to download, but there is

I have a 2nd gen itouch. When I tried to download an app that was around 200 megs, it wouldn't let me. Even though I have close to 500 available. Please try to explain why this is happening. Thank you.

Whilst the application only is 200 MB in size, to install it takes more than that. I've seen people here with the same problem as you and it generally comes down to the ipod touch needing more than just a teeny bit of spare memory in order to install things and function properly.
I've seen more seasoned users advising people to not fill their ipod all the way to full as it helps with functionality, but in this case I would try deleting a few more things to release more free memory and trying again .. I cannot guess quite how much you might need, but the ipod will tell you by letting it install.

    The iPod requires more than twice the file downlooad size in order to downoad and install an app.  You need to free up storage space as the mesage says.

    I am trying to download a movie from itunes, but ithere's isn't enough room to download. I have a iphone4, have deleted every app possible. Slimmed down photos to hardly anything. I could never update to ios7 because of storage problems. Only 2.5 GB available out of 5GB after deleting everything. I'm also out of town and cannot connect to a computer. I have wifi access though. Help?

    Update
    OK, Today I went ahead & booted & tried again & it worked this time.
    Not sure why it didn't yesterday. Maybe the servers were just overloaded? Several others reported similar.
    Also yesterday when I ran Speedtest it showd download at about 25 mbps, This morning just before I re-started the download it was showing just above 30 mbps.  So maybe the internet was less busy? Or at least the parts between me & the test server.
    & so far it is working ok.

  • Every time I try to download photos to flashdrive it states there isn't enough room, do i need a special flashdrive

    Every time I try to download photos to a flashdrive it states there isn't enough room on the flash drive.  Do I need a certain type of flashdrive to hold 1000 photos?

    See the answer to your other post on this issue. The trick is to put them into a folder and then drag that over. The problem is that the Flashdrive won't wear that many items on the top level of the drive.

  • Everytime I go to save my movie or export it a message comes up saying I dont have enough room and to close my project and reopen it, will I lose all of my work if I do what it says? how do I resolve this?

    I've never have this problem before, but if you are really worried you can go to finder -> Movies -> iMovie Project.
    And then you can copy that project and put it in your desktop first. If you really did lost your project, you can still put it back. It will play perfectly if your events aren't damaged

  • I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    I purchased the newest software update for my ipod touch 1st generation and it is saying it is it will now begin download but the status bar doesn't even appear? How can I start the download?

    Well first off you shouldn't have had to pay for a download (just an assumption from the word "purchased".
    If you are trying to install iOS 5 on your iPod touch, it won't work they arent compatible. I suggest checking what version of software you are trying to install and posting it in this forum so people can have a better understanding.

  • TS1424 Itunes says I have 300 plus Itunes to download, but I have already downloaded them

    Itunes says I have 300 plus Itunes to download, but I have already downloaded them and they are in my Itunes library

    I assume that you've checked all your homescreens by swiping the screen to the left, and that you havn't filled up the maximum number of screens, which I think is 12 (in which case you will only be able to find them via the search screen - and have you tried typing in their names on the search screen ?).
    Also how did you install them : by syncing from your computer or downloading them straight onto the device ? If you synced them then if Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps is set 'off', then change it to 'on'.
    You could also try a reset to see if they appear after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I transferred all my music to my new computer, went to sync my iphone and the music library won't sync. It's like it's leaving the old library on and trying to add a duplicate one, keeps saying there isn't enough room. Help please?

    Everything from my old computer is still in the music portion of my phone, I don't know how but it hasn't synced that part.  I went through and edited the new library and there are fewer songs, it's telling my I don't have enough room on my phone.  This is impossible when it is less music than I am currently holding.  How do I get it to delete the old information and put on the new library?

    How exactly was the music transferred to the new computer?
    The correct way is to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.  If it was transferred properly there are no issues with syncing to the iOS device.

  • I've just updated to Mavericks but there isn't enough room on the disk.  how can i get the old OS to load reduce content?

  • What does it mean when there isn't enough room to run a program?

    My desktop tends to go blank and when I try to open programs such as Excel or Word a message comes up saying there isn't enough memory to run. Anyone know what could fix this? Also I opened iPhoto and it asked if i wanted to open iPhoto or iPhoto, not knowing the difference, I picked the first one and almost all of my photos were gone.

    there are a couple of ways to fix this.
    1) run less applications at one time, meaning make sure they are truly closed and not just off.
    2) get a ram upgrade. this can be done by yourself or by taking it to an apple store.

  • TS1424 not enough room to download and gb are available

    My ipad told me i have not enough room available. My movie stopped downloading What can I do?

    Chances are if you only have 7 GBs left on your iPad. You are not going to get a full season of episodes on it.
    Video takes up a lot of storage/memory space.
    If you have a computer with iTunes on it, you could try and download the entire season to your computer in iTunes and
    either connect your iPad to the computer and sync individual episodes until you reach the limit on your iPad, or , if you have WiFi on both your computer and iPad, use iTunes Home sharing to stream each series episode from your computer's iTunes library to the iPad.

  • TS1717 Itunes says it's corrupted, reinstall. I download but it won't reinstall as "another installation is underway". But there is no other installation!! I go round in circles - how to crack this?

    Itunes tells me it's corrupted and to reinstall. I download but it won't install "untill another installion is finished." BUT THERE IS NO OTHER INSTALLATION. wHAT DO i DO?

    many thanks.
    Reregistering the Windows Installer Service is worth a try with that one. (It's a little trickier on 64-bit Vista and Windows 7 systems, but still doable.)
    First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
    If you have a 32-bit Vista or 7
    At the command prompt:
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    If you have a 64-bit Vista or 7
    At the command prompt:
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
    Both 32-bit and 64-bit Vista or 7
    Restart the PC and try another iTunes install.

  • Connection Detection! Zen Nano. It says it isn't connected... But it

    I connected it to my USB, I have windows ME and I tried both USB ports. the Lcd displays a diagram showing it is connected but the Zen Nano Mwdia Explorer says it isn't! I download a driver but to no avail, a message popped up and said it could not find a specific file. it asked for my window ME disk. I clicked skip this file, and it just shows zen nano not connected to USB

  • I replaced a 5C with another 5C, but the new says there isn't enough storage to download all my apps or update IOS.  Why would it be different if it's the same phone?  I deleted several apps to try to make more room but it still isn't working.

    Downloading Apps to new iPhone 5C

    Hi CBarreca,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have a new iPhone that is giving you storage space warnings when trying to add all of your content back to it. In this situation I would recommend using the attached article to help figure out where the storage on your iPhone is being used.
    See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Cheers,
