Sotware update says i dont have enough storage

I've got an iphone 4s 16bg and the latest software update 7.1.1 says ' this update cannot be installed because it requires at least 1.8GB of storage. You can make more storage available by deleting items in Usage Settings'. This is crazy as my music takes up 9.2GB and I don't have that many apps on there really!
Any ideas would be helpful. Do I really need this update??

Hey dechange,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You can see how much room is being taken using this article, and how to manage what is on the device with the second article.

The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.

TS4036 icloud backup to new device is not working as says I dont have enough storage, even although the backup is only 3GB out of my 5GB (giving more than 1GB available!)???

back up from icloud to new device is not working as it is saying that I dont have enough storage, when I am only trying to use 3GB out of my 5GB allowance???

I may misunderstand your post - you "backup TO icloud" or restore from icloud to a new device. Not sure which of these you mean.
If backing up TO icloud, the problem may be that there's not enough storage on your device, not icloud, as a device needs a good bit of storage to create the backup.
If restoring from icloud to a new device and you get the error, the storage referenced must be that on the device, although that doesn't seem possible, since a device has more memory than 5GB.

My phone says i dont have enough storage

I am trying to upgrade to iOS 7.1, but I am getting the message that the update cannot be installed because it requires at least 1.9GB of storage. How do I fix this or get more storage?

iCloud may try to coax you into buying more, I'd suggest just trying to delete some of your old stuff that you don't use, if you use all of your stuff then just stay at the update you're at, there's nothing great about these new updates man. Hope this helps.
Well the SSL bug is corrected for instance.

I cant download updated software, says i dont have enough space

i am trying to download the software update, but i says i dont have enough space, says i need 2 gb and i have 32 gb left on my computer

Is the message saying:
Not enough storage
Not enough/low memory?
For the former delete some items from the iPod.
For the latter.double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.

I need 1.1 gb to download fifa 12 and says i have 2.2 gb availanle in usage but says i dont have enough room to download it

i need 1.1 gb to download fifa 12 and says i have 2.2 gb availanle in usage but says i dont have enough room to download it

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.

Im trying to download a movie from itunes and it says i dont have enough memory. I can see that I have 13G in icloud but i dont know how to add the movie to that memory

Hi,
Im trying to download a movie from itunes to my ipad 2 but it says i dont have enough memory. I have 13G of space on icloud but cant figure out how to down load it to icloud. Can anyone advise please.

Hi back,
Icloud cannot be used to increase internal memory of ipads, otherwise nobody would buy more expensive 32, 64, 128 gigabyte versions. Hype with "movies in the cloud" is more of itunes store, keeping movies available for you in order to download on any device. That does not go against your storage in the cloud, though.
So if you go to your computer and you purchased movie ( not rented ) you can download and watch.
There is something else to pay attention to, your ipad (if I am not mistaken) is not capable to run HD movies, make sure you do buy Standard Definition, and they will take less space on ipad.

My ipod wont let me download a game it tells me i dont have enough storage when i have more then enough

My ipod wont let me download a game it tells me i dont have enough storage when i have more then enough

To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.
Does the app/iPod meet this?

Install more RAM in the computer; the Mac needs to have at least 2GB of RAM and should have 4GB or more first.

Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find. Patriot is another brand recommended by ASC contributors but I have no experience with them.
Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales.

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

TS4009 my iphone says i dont have enough space

Welcome to the Apple Community.
How big does it say the back up will be.

How can I restore my iPhone 4s? It says I dont have enough memory but thats because once I backed it up it told me there was an update,

I just backed it up. Wanted more space on my phone so after it backed up and then it updated I imported my photos onto my computer and then I lost all my pictures and want to know how to restore it when it says there is not enough space when I have not downloaded or have done anything to my phone except text from it.

oops. typo: "I went ahead and befored the restore." should be... I went ahead and performed the restore.

I get a message saying i dont have enough privileges when i try and download from the cloud

when i try and download music from the cloud, i get a message saying I "do not have enough access privileges for this operation" what am i doing wrong

i try and download music from the cloud
How exactly are you doing this? In iTunes?

Itunes says i dont have enough memory, even though i do

I deleted tonns of music off my iTunes, and when I decided to sync my iPhone, it told me I didn't have enough memory - even though I was syncing less stuff than what was already on the device. I originally had about 1000 photos synced to my iphone from my laptop, which I removed. I have around 2000 pictures on my iphone, but it's telling me Im syncing 3000. I've deleted about all the photos I can bare to and it's still telling me I need an extra 4GB. When I'm sinking and I look at the bar telling me what is taking up memory, it says I have 14GB free - but yet I'm still getting an error saying it can't sync because I need 4GB of memory freed up. Can anyone help me?

What happened prior to this? I suspect some important details are being left out.
