SMS using up all my storage.

My SMS messages are using up 4.9GB of storage. Even after I delete the messages the storage will not go down. Is there a way to fix this?
I have tried the basics but nothing seems to work.

This is the iPod touch forum. I requested your post be moved to the iPhone forum

  • Why did the recent ios 7.0.4 update use up all my storage (over 9 GB)?  I have no storage for music and limit apps.

    Why did the recent update to ios 7.0.4 use up all my storage (over 9 GB)?  I have no storage for music and apps.  There is over 9GB designated to "other" under usage now.  I only have 16 GB total.

    Text, the best way is to take screen shots, or if you can forward them to your email. Your notes are either saved by your email or with icoud. They can help you find out where they are saved at.
    The resest is easy. I would say it best to also save your photos on your computer as well as a extra back up so you can also see them. Depending if you have Mac use Iphoto and import all photos, Windows use I am drawing a blank, but you can go to your start menue and then your phone will show up as a removable device and then left click and transfer photos and videos.
    After that you will be set. But it will take a bit to get all of your text taken care of thought.
    Also if you have non-programed email address like Roadrunner ect. You will need the incomming and out going server information SMTP ect.

  • IOS 7 used up all my storage space

    My 16 GB iPad had 5 GB of storage remaining and when I downloaded iOS 7 it used up all but 1.4 GB of my storage before I cut wifi connection.  What can I do to reverse this?  Have no pictures or videos on iPad-- but magazines, yahoo emails and numerous small apps under 75 mb to watch TV programs online.  Help.

    jean313,
    Please read the following topic here at Apple discussions. Please read through the whole thing (even though it was begun last year with the release of iOS 6) so that you gain an understanding of what is happening. This topic contiunes through to the most recent iOS 7.

  • Iphoto is using up all my storage and increasing in size.

    I uploaded about 8 Gb of photos to my macbook pro. Right after I started doing some work, came back and it now says that i have 18 Gb's of photos uploaded to my mac? Why do the photos keep increasing in size. iPhoto is using so much storage.

    Where in iPhoto is this 18gb referred to?
    What the iPhoto Window reports is the nominal size of the resulting folder if you exported everything from iPhoto at the "Current" setting.
    The iPhoto Library in the Finder contains your original photos, thumbnails, previews, cache, database and metadata files. it is always larger than reported by the iPhoto Window.
    If disk space is an issue then you can put the Library on an external disk:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Podcasts is using up all my storage, but I can't delete it.

    How can I stop Podcasts from taking up too much space?   I get a "Storage Almost Full Message," which shows 736 KB taken up by Podcasts. However, when I go to this app, it shows no saved Podcasts.  What can I do?

    Howdy Lise,
    It sounds like you are concerned about the 736 KB in storage you are seeing that your Podcasts app is using. That is a tiny amount of space less than a megabyte. I would recommend you look for other places to delete data from. This article will help you locate other apps that are using space so you can check that out:
    See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

  • How can I limit the number of emails on my device with a POP account. Thousands of old emails keep loading, no way to rid them, without deleting each one! Using up all my storage on device! Crazy! Help!

    Help, where is the limiting selection for the number of messages to retain on device? How can I get rid of old, read, messages? Just a problem since upgrade to new ios7

    IOS 7.1.1 doesn't show a "days to sync" parameter anywhere in SETTINGS/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/ACCOUNTS/GMAIL Account/ GMAIL Acccount Info.  There is nothing in iTunes relating to such an option either.  So, it seems I'm back to square one.
    If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
    If you have Gmail it does not.  Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

  • I have used all the storage on my iPhone 4S...can I move all my photos to iCloud?

    I have used up all my storage on my iPhone 4S, because I have a lot of photos that sync from my computer, a Mac with OSX 10.9.5.  Can I take the photos off my phone, and then stop the ones on my computer from syncing back to my phone?

    Greetings LOLKimmy,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to import your photos that have on your iPhone to your Mac and stop iTunes from syncing your photo albums from your Mac back to your iPhone. To accomplish this, I would first suggest importing your photos to your Mac using the instructions located in the article below.
    iPhoto 9.5: Import photos or video from a digital camera
    After your pictures have been imported and you would like to removed your synced photos and albums from you iPhone, please follow the instructions located in the next attached article.
    Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
    Delete synced photos
    In iTunes, locate and click on your device.
    Click Photos.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.
    Learn how to delete photos and video synced from iTunes when you can't access the originals.

  • I share a an apple id with my kids. We all use the same credit card for purchases.  Is it possible for only me to use the icloud online storage without making this available or visible to the kids?

    My kids and I all use the same credit card and password for app and music purchases.   I'm assuming we all use the same apple ID too. (not sure) We can share apps and music although we all have our own itunes libraries. Is it possible for only me to use the icloud online storage without making this available or visible to the kids or do we all have our own storage?

    I just checked and they have already sucked up all my online storage.  Ahhh techy teens!  I think I will just leave it at that and back my own stuff up on my computer. Less confusing
    Thanks for all the help!  I am definitely more educated now and I'm off to check that cc bill too.

  • My iPhone 5S is using 2.5GBs of storage for the camera roll.  I deleted all but 190 photos and this did not change.  My other devices cannot backup to iCloud due to the volume on my iPhone.  Any ideas?

    Try turning off the Camera Roll option in Settings>iCloud>Backup & Storage>Manage Storage>Your device. Then turn it back on again.

  • I am confused about how to manage photos between my iPhone, iMac and iPad.  How do I avoid using all the storage pace on my various devices?

    How do I manage photos between my ipad, iphone and imac without using all the storage on the various devices?

    If enabled, iCloud Photo Stream ensures all new photos are sent to all your devices. Then you can simply add the ones you want to each one's Library, and delete any photos you don't want.
    One technique is to designate one device as the "master" containing all your photos - probably your iMac, since it is likely to have the greatest available storage - and make sure you have a backup strategy for it. That way, any photos you choose to keep on your iPad and iPhone are redundant copies that can be deleted as you wish, or as required should you need to restore your iOS device. If your iMac breaks and its Library irretrievably lost, the importance of its backup becomes critical. Therefore, consider having more than one backup, and more than one geographical location for them.

    I too have the same problem after I upgraded to Firefox 5 today. I have a Tiscali webmail account, it lets me sign in but a message is displayed that I have "undefined e-mails".
    I closed down Firefox and opened Internet Explorer. This allowed me to sign in and access my e-mails without any problems.
    Had to smile to myself as Firefox required my e-mail address to register and verify my new account so I could place a post or reply to other peoples posts etc. As previously mentioned I can only access these via Internet Explorer!

    I had been using iMessage all along with my friend who is using an iPhone 6. I choose to send a sms to him as I do not have any connection, after that there is no way I can send him an iMessage again. Can anyone advise how do I switch back? I had tried resetting the network setting, toggling off the sms but to no avail.
    Thank you.
    Regards

    What do you mean you choose to send him an SMS because you don't have any connection. What kind of connection? Delete the thread with that individual that you sent via SMS, and as long as you have iMessage activated on your device and your friend has an active data connection, it should recognize that and send as an iMessage. Another scenario is to have the friend send you a message that you can respond to.
