"Storage Almost Full" icon continuously pops up with almost full available storage on iphone 4. What does this mean?

I've had my Iphone 4 for almost two years. The "Storage Almost Full" icon started to pop up continuously just yesterday, and it hasn't stopped even after deleting almost everything off my phone. It also won't allow me to send messages, or completely clear conversations. And it says "cleaning" on my apps constantly and repeatedly to the same apps. I've tried restarting it, backing it up, restoring it, backing it up again and nothing has worked at all. Is there any way I can get rid of this problem without restoring my phone to it's factory settings and deleting everything? I have a lot of important notes, dates, and contacts that would take a ton of time to put back in, and I want to avoid doing that if I can. Help, please!

I was able to free up 4GB of space by deleting my email account. You can always add your email account again.
This method will delete all saved attachments and data in your iPhone's internal memory.

  • When turned on MacBook a icon of a folder with a question mark in it keeps flashing, what does this mean?

    MacBook turns on but doesn't go to home screen, instead a folder icon with a question mark on it keeps flashing.

    It means that your mac is unable to boot, try doing a safe boot http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455 first, if that does not work insert your OSX disc (the one that came with your mac) and boot to that, post back with a report.
    Is your backup 'bootable' (Carbon Copy or SuperDuper) or non-'bootable' (Time Machine)

  • I have downloaded music to my phone through my Apple ID and it has this message that reads you can download purchases on this device with one Apple ID account every ninety days, what does this mean and how do I fix it?

    I have downloaded music to my phone through my Apple ID and it has this message that reads you can download purchases on this device with one Apple ID account every ninety days, what does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Well, it doesn't mean that at all. You can download music purchased with an Apple ID to up to 10 devices. There is no 90 day wait. The wait is if you change the Apple ID.

  • When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it?

    When trying to download Itunes this pops up " key not valid for use in specified state" what does this mean and how can I fix it? I am using a pc laptop if that makes any difference.

    Try reading through this thread: key not valid for use in specified state. Possible solution involves moving the RSA folder. Rather than deleting it as aniwack suggested I'd try this:
    For "Key not valid for use in specified state" errors try moving the folder RSA from C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA to say C:\RSA (just in case there should be a need to restore it) then try installing again. This folder appears to act as a cache and should be rebuilt automatically as required.

  • The battery icon on my (old) MacBook Pro turned red. Then black. What does this mean?

    The battery icon on my (old) MacBook Pro turned red for a few moments, then black. What does this mean?

    penny41,
    Thanks, glad it helped you to check your battery status.
    Something else to look at would be the cycle count, as you mention that your computer is "ancient". If you have a high number of cycles, it may also be a sign that the battery is tired and possibly nearing it's life span, and may possibly need to be replaced soon. If you see that again you may try a SMC reset to see if that helps, but if it continues you may need a new battery at some point. The battery icon will usually say needs service, or something to that effect.  For the later MBP's Apple claims a life span of up to 1000 cycles, of this also will be dependent on who the battery is used, on the older ones I'm not quite sure what the claims were, and I don't know how old "ancient" in your case actually means.
    I provide this for your info, so that you understand what may possibly be occurring.
    I wish you the best.
    SMC reset:
    Follow directions for what applies to your machine, a battery you can remove, or a battery you should not remove yourself.

  • A box keeps popping up tel available for application memory. What does this mean? It lists Firefoc, Safari Mail, Pages and Finder.

    A box keeps popping up on my MacBook telling me that my Mac OS X Startup disk has no more space available for application memory. It shows Firefox, Mac Mail, Finder and Pages. What does this mean? Thanks. Jessie

  • I have a cirlce with a line through it at startup.  What does this mean?

    I have a circle with a line through it at boot up.  What does this mean?

    It means that there is no bootable disk found.  This
    could be either a totally corrupted disk or a hardware
    failure.
    If you were running OSX 10.7 or 10.8, you could try booting
    into the Recovery HD by holding down Command+R at boot
    or holding down the Option key and select the Recovery HD
    to boot from.
    If doing this also fails, then you likely have a hard disk failure
    or perhaps some other hardware issue.

  • Almost all my songs are marked 'Exceeded limit' when i only have 13k songs. what does this mean?

    I only have 13,ooo songs. only about 40 matched. most say Exceeded Limit and have a little dotted cloud.
    does this mean they're not in the could? i have the song title listed in my phone with match on, but there is no cloud there to download it.
    how do i get these songs to upload and or match?

    Hi,
    Try signing out of iTunes Store / match. Close iTunes. Reboot computer. Open iTunes, sign into iTunes Store the match. You will be asked to add this computer. Select this and let match go through the complete match process.
    If this does not work, close iTunes and find cookie for iTunes which you will find it in safari's cookie. Delete this cookie and close safari. Reopen iTunes and turn on / update matched. You will be asked to sign in.
    If this does not work, try creating a new library by holding ctrl key whilst launching iTunes. You will get a pop up box - select create new library. This will be blank. Sign into iTunes Store then match, you will be asked to add this computer.
    This will now display all your music in the cloud. If you see any track with cloud status limited exceeded, delete tracks.
    Now sign out and try step one again.

  • I am getting a blinking folder with question mark when I boot my computer, what does this mean?

    This morning when I turned on my laptop, it made a weird ticking noise and now all I can get is a blinking icon that looks like a manilla folder with a question mark.

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    With 10.4, 10.5 or 10.6 put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9 partition.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • When I turn on my macbook pro, the white screen displays a file with a question mark in the middle. What does this mean?

    Suddenly, my macbook pro has experienced problems. When I turn on my computer, the white screen displays a flashing file folder icon with a quesrion mark in the middle. Has my hard drive burnt out? Thank you in advance for any helpful suggestions..

    It means your computer is search for a start up volume.  You need to reboot into recovery mode and attempt to repair your disk.  To do this restart the computer and hold the keys:
    <command> + r
    Then open Disk utility.

  • I reset my ipod and it took an unsualy long time to turn on. I checked it the next morning and there was a picture of the charger with an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol. what does this mean?

    I tried plugging it into my laptop and it wasnt syncing. so im not sure what to do now.

    - Try a reset and then connect to computer and restore if you can.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If the screen still shows something, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restoe again.

  • My iMac has a white screen with a flashing file folder with a question mark in the middle.  What does that mean?

    My iMac is completely unresponsive.  Whenever I restart it, it's just a white screen with a flashing file folder with a question mark in the middle.  What does this mean?

    this means the mac cannot find the startup disc. which more times than not means you need a hdd replacement.
    try starting holding the option key, then using utilities try to repair the disc.

    there is an icon with a lock with a continuous circle around it - what does this mean

    It means you have enabled rotation lock, so the screen will not change from portrait to landscape when you rotate the phone.
    Double-press the HOME button, then slide the QuickLaunch ribbon from left to right to reveal the lock control icon.
