Should I turn on my iCloud storage and back up
Should my iCloud storage and back up be turned on, on my iphone?
Depends. If you routinely sync with itunes on a computer, its not necessary (assuming you back up when syncing). If not, would be a good idea since you have no other weay of backing the phone up. This might be helpful: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/backup/

Hi, I've upgraded my iCloud storage and uploaded 3000+ photos. Can I safely delete them from my phone and still access them from the cloud? Thank you
Hey linsfrombrandon,
The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

I have purchased additional icloud storage and now when I try to back up it says. "Last Backup not successful" No reason or additional information.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again. -
I am unable to close my computer...the message on the ipad says not enough icloud storage and go to settings. Unable to go to settings and it is frozen and unable to close down. How do I fix this for the button won't turn it off?
Don't try to turn the iPad off until you reboot.
On your iPad, Did you try holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears? If you didn't try it, go ahead and do it. Wait until the Apple logo appears on the iPad screen before you let go of the buttons. -
i want to ask my icloud storage and backup is 3,3 GB available from 5 GB is it also because the apps i have been purchased took that much space?
Note that Photos in your Camera Roll are also backed up to iCloud.
I have found most of the time, this is what is consuming a lot of the iCloud space.
You should regularly copy the photos from iPhone to computer.
-> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
Then delete from the Camera Roll
You can then sync only the photos you want, back to the iPhone, using iTunes.

I purchased extra icloud storage to back up my phone and phots. Purchased a new phone and went to pull my photos from icloud and only a portion trasferred to my new phone. How do I get all of the photos moved to my new phone?
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. -
I have an old Ipad and an IPad Air. I used one Apple ID for both IPads. Now I wish to split the iCloud storage and separate the two. I want to change my new IPad Air to a New Apple ID. How do I do it?
Go to Settings > iCloud > Delete Account, and enter your Apple ID password. Then sign in with the new ID.
NOTE: "Delete Account" just means it will be deleted from the iPad. The account itself will not be deleted. -

My iphone 4s keeps saying it does not have enough icloud storage and icloud cannot be backed up. When I go to icloud Storage & Backup in my settings, it says that I have 5.0 GB total and 5.0 GB available. The only thing I have selected, at this point, to be backed up are my contacts and the Find My iPhone app. Why does it always say I have no icloud storage available when I have ALL of the icloud storage available?!
It says that my next backup size is 7.3 GB, but I have no idea why, because the only thing selected is the Find iPhone app, which takes up 0.2 KB...How do I get rid of whatever it THINKS it's backing up?

I upgraded my icloud storage and amount got deducted from my account but yet storage wasn't upgraded. What can i do?
How long did you wait for the systm to catch up to your request for more storage? it can take a little while, up to an hour sometimes I have heard.
If you don't see any more room after waiting a while, try resetting your phone to see if it appears then.
If that doesn't help go here, http://www.apple.com/support/contact/ and see if they can help you out. -

I have the iCloud storage and use it, and pay the 20$ a year for it but I can't figure out how to back up my music an photos onto iCloud so that I can free up some space. And when I can do this how can I access the information on iCloud?
I guess I am confused like Emily.
I have uploaded every single cd I own to I-Cloud. I thought that I could access any of this from my phone but from reading this, I can't access I-cloud from my phone to listen to music? I can plug in in my car and listen to music now from my phone. If I delete my music off of my phone, then the only way I can access this music is to plug into my computer?
Am I saying that and asking that the correct way? I, too, bought extra storage on I-Cloud and I am always buying music from the i-tunes store...sometimes from my phone and sometimes when I am on the computer.
I have 83 songs right now on my iphone and it says I don't have enough storage. -
ICloud storage and camera roll
I have received a notification saying my iCloud is almost full, it shows my camera roll at 4.6GB so I went through and deleted around half of my photos and videos (I had around 1350 and now have 652) yet it still shows camera roll at 4.6GB, anyone know why this is?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Where are you looking for the Camera Roll storage? If you have deleted pictures from the device, you will see this in the next iCloud backup. If you want, open Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup, and start a backup. This will remove the photos you deleted -

In preparing for iCloud storage to be reduced to 5GB, I have deleted all my emails (via internet to iCloud) including all inboxes, sent mail, archived etc. HOWEVER my iPhone (under Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage says I have 8.5 GB. Please help!
The only thing I can think of that may cause this would be storage buffering. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4873.
