Storage issues and iCloud

Recently I keep getting a message that the storage is full on ipad2. If I have purchased videos or music, I will be able to have that content on my computer which has iTunes? I am not interested in iCloud because I have Dropbox that I am already paying for. So if I delete a movie from my iPad can I still view it on my computer? Can I just leave iCloud out of all my transactions? Thanks.

If you purchase music and keep it in iTunes on your computer, you can safely delete it or unsync it from the iPad and it will still be on your computer. Likewise with movies and videos. But you do not want to remove movies and videos from iTunes on your computer because if you want to download them again, you must pay for them again.
Since you are a U.S. resident, you can download purchased music, apps, books and TV shows again from iTunes at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID that you purchased the content with. Movies are the exception to this.
So there is no reason for you to purchase storage or worry about having more storage space in iCloud since all of the above mentioned content does not could against the 5GB of storage that you would get with a free iCloud account anyway. If you bought it from Apple and iTunes, that content does not count against that 5GB limit. The extra non purchased content such as app data and files would count against the storage space that you are allotted.
Just remember to do this - transfer all videos, movies TV shows, apps, music - everything - into iTunes on your computer before you delete it on your iPad.

Storage issue and iPhoto

My mac is about 7 years old. I am trying to export a slideshow from iPhoto. It says that I do not have enough room. I have cleared things form my Mac and had 20gb of storage left. The slideshow did not work. I deleted any files that went along with that slideshow. Now it says that I have zero storage left. My other category in storage went from 142 gb used to 163 used after the attempt to make the slideshow.
I don't know what iPhoto did and I can't find whatever went into the other file. This is frustrating. I cleared a lot of my mac and still no storage.
Any ideas of how to clear more off or where the extra "other storage" came from?
thank you, I hope this makes sense.

Wow, I guess I left out a lot of info. Sorry, I don't know my mac that well I guess. I tried to find out more info.
I believe I just don't have enough free space available. I tried deleting movies and large files of of the mac to free up some space. I had 20GB free and after attempting to make the slide show (which didn't work) I had 0 gb.
I was trying to put small videos from my camera into the slideshow, about 100 slides. I was trying to export it but the box that came up showing it's progress seemed to stall. I have been successful in creating a still picture slideshow of about 50 slides using the same option of exporting. I don't know what movie size I was trying to export to, I do know it wasn't the HD version. I have tried creating this slideshow several times and at one point it said that I did not have enough storage left. So that's why I tried deleting larger files and tried again.
I have been having issues with the computer stating disk space almost full and get the spinning wheel more often. I did not load or install any recent updates. However my son did put some minecraft things on it.
I have been successful before in adding short videos from my camera into iMovie, but was unsuccessful this time, so I was attempting to use iPhoto to make the slideshow.
I have a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Operating OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Iphoto version 9.6. I believe it is a managed library, I didn't see a referenced library option.
I think it may be time for a new computer. Thanks for your time.

STORAGE ISSUE BEWTEEN ICLOUD & Iphone 5S

i am stuck with 16GB 5s so of course no space. I do have iCloud back up. however how can delete the photos and albums from my phone but still access it from iCloud when I need it ?

iCloud (Photo Stream) is NOT permanent storage for photos. Extract them from the phone to your comptuer as you would with any digital camera.

HT201318 I registered my apple ID and Icloud with a US address, and live in Switzerland. I do not own a US credit card. Now that I need to buy more storage with my swiss credit card, I can't change the country's billing address from the US to my swiss one

I registered my apple ID and Icloud with a US address, and live in Switzerland. I do not own a US credit card. Now that I need to buy more storage with my swiss credit card, I can't change the country's billing address from the US to my swiss one. HELP PLS?

Did you actually watch the movie? You get 30 days in which to view it and if you didn't watch it, that could be why you are getting that message. If you have watched the movie and you're sure that is has expired by now, contact iTunes Store Support and seek their help.
Change the country in the upper left. - and click on Purchases, billing and redemption to proceed.

ICloud storage issue; Restoring iPhone calendar from iMac after accidental iCloud deletion

I set up iCloud to back up calendars and contacts and for find my phone. Initially, it seemed to work alright. Then I got messages on iPhone that there wasn't enough iCloud storage, even though the storage tab showed that I had used none of my iCloud storage at all. So I turned off iCloud/contacts. In iTunes I switched back from iCloud backup to backup from my iMac.
Later I got the same message about not enough room in iCloud even though only calendars involved. So I truned off iCloud/calendar on my iPhone and was given the choice of keeping the calendars from the iCloud or deleting them (a foolish choice without a failsafe!!!). I clumsily and mistakenly hit delete. My calendars have most recently been synced with my new iMac and appear on the iMac and should also be in TM. But right now there is no data in my iPhone calendar.
When i go to calendars within the iiphone calendar there is a check next to Calender under "from MY Mac" and no reference to iCloud. (There are no separate calendars for me, my wife, and joint. Does this mean somehow these calendars have been merged because of iCloud?)
I don't want to do another sync until I can make sure that the sync with the iMac will resotre the calendar(s) to the iPnone. How do I do this?
Do I have to do anything on the iMac before I try a sync?
How do I avoid these problems in the future? The only thing I really would like from iCloud is "find my phone". How do I keep that capability without backing up or su=yncing otherwise anything through iCloud?
Is iCloud still Beta?

Apple walked me through this and helped me revert to backing up on my iMac, using iCloud only for find my iPhone and iMac. The process, however, is not straightforward and what the respective mac and iPhone support people (yes, they have that kind of specialization) led me through was clearer, if somewhat convoluted, than any instructions on Apple's support or community pages.
Since my main concern was not losing my calendar and contacts information, the key was saving that, via export, to my desktop. Sorry I didn't write down all the other steps - but I see that as Apple's job. Back in the days of the IIC, Apple's manual was a model of clarity and completeness at the same time.
Bottom line is while my immediate concerns were resolved, the underlying iCloud storage issue was not. On my iPhone, I was being told that my attempts to backup to the iCloud failed because I didn't have enough storage, even though I determined almost none of my alloted space was used. This issue is not helped by the multiplicity of settings relating to iCloud, or the interfaces (such as the iCloud on the iMac through Mavericks) which present a screen of icons without additional information.
For my purposes, iCloud remains Beta.

HT4910 I can not back up my iPhone. it says I need more storage space. I purchased more space and icloud says it is there, but the phone is not recognizing this and continues to say that I need to purchase more space in order to back it up. Any ideas?

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Outlook 2013 and Icloud issues.

To whom it may concern,
I use to have Windows 7 32 Bit and Office 2010 synced with my icloud and it worked wonderfully.
I made some changes in to my operating system and changed to Windows 7 64bit. Also I went ahead and updated to Office 2013.
Lately, I been having issues with the calendar synchronization between my Outlook 2013 and My iPhone 6 calendar and contacts. I went ahead unclicked the "contacts, calendar, and tasks (with outlook) Tab from the Icloud menu. a few second later, I proceeded to re click on the same tab to add this option previously mentioned and after clicking on "apply" a window pops up prepping a download of 0 of 10 items and inmedialy I get an error that says "Your setup couldn't be started because and expected error"... and my options are: report, try again or cancel.
After uninstalling icloud several times and reinstalling I decided to report this issue and so far have not heard back from anyone.
If anyone can help... would be greatly appreciated it.!
Thanks,

I want to upgrade my storage plan in icloud. Before that i want to know whether synchronization of data in my PC and data in one of the applications of ipad is possible through icloud or not

I want to upgrade my storage plan in icloud. Before that i want to know whether synchronization of data in my PC and data in one of the applications like "phone drive" of ipad is possible through icloud or not?

The Photos app doesn't currently support subfolders, it only has the one level of folder/album. You will either need to change your folder structure on your computer to be just one level, see if there is a third-party photo app in the store that copes with subfolders, or just make do. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

HT204053 I set up my iTune and iCloud account with my work email sometime ago. Last week I changed my iTune email account to a personal email and noticed that the iCloud account has not changed. I pay for additional storage and would like this changed?

My first iTune and iCloud account was set up with a work email address. Last week, I changed my AppleID to a personal email account, but have found that on my iPhone under settings, iCloud, my account still has my work email. How can I change this to reflect my new personal email. I also pay to have extra storage, how is all of this working/tying together? Please help!

Sorry, you cannot use more than one iTunes account at a time.

Pages and iCloud issues

So far I have found the following issues using Pages and iCloud both on iPad and iMac.
1. I migrated 2 mobileme accounts to iCloud. The pages option to use iCloud would not stay on. This could only beresolved by deleting one of the mail accounts.
2. Pages froze after editing a document and closing it when there was no internet connection. I had to reboot the iPad.
3. The user interface for Folders on the iPad and in iCloud>iWork on iMac is extermely poor. On the iPad there is no way of organising documents in a folder or displaying them other than as thumbnails. On the iMac it is not possible to create folders, organise the contents of those created on iPad, or display other than thumbnails.
If this is Apple's attempt to lure people to Cloud computing then it is not a good start. They should have ported iDisk. I will go back to DropBox.

Though no one replied to this topic, I'm updating with what I've learned after spending many hours on the phone with an Apple tech rep who had esacalated to engineers. There is NO solution. Docs that are out of sync or unretrievable from iCloud or iCloud Drive, they cannot assist with. They offered to wipe my iCloud Drive account and reset it, but I wanted them to restore it afterwards. Just a simple, pull the data off, dump it on an FTP server so I can access it. Nope. No assistance. Not their problem. I have to manually pull ALL the files off my iPad's iCloud account, the ones I can get to and go through this insane 6 step process to get to those docs. Really disappointed with Apple. Using MS Word on the iPad and though not perfect...at least the Pages docs won't be lost.

iCloud, iOS8 and iCloud Drive - a fine mess

I had no more storage on my iCloud so I backed up my phone on PC. I got a new phone and backed it up. I wanted my pictures from a last back up from June 2013 is there anyway I can retrieve those photos?

I recently just got the Iphone 5s. I had the iPhone 4 before and I had no more cloud storage so I had to back it up to my computer. Now I had my iPhone 4 backed up from June 2013 and I have photos on there that I want but I realized I can't back up my computer and iCloud together without one getting deleted. So is there anyway I can just transfer my photos from my back up in June to my computer?

Icloud backup holds your last 3 backups, well depending on the space you have available.
Itunes backup will over ride the last backup, when you create a new backup.
All pics in your camera roll should be imported to your pc as you would a digital camera.

Issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices. iTouch and iPad2 sync with different results from iMac. Thoughts?

Has any one experienced issues with iCloud synchronisation and contacts over two or more devices? The primary machine is an iMac running Lion. Address Book was created from vcf file (backup of address book prior to moving to iCloud). iTouch replicates Contacts just fine and matches the Address Book on the iMac. The iPad 2 does not showing only 123 contacts where there should be 200. I have turned off iCloud on both devices thus erasing the iCloud content of both devices and staring from scratch with both devices with identical results. Even turned off iCloud on the iMac and erased the Address Book and rebuilt with the same results. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am going nuts.....

To follow-up with this issue:
I ended up performing a security wipe on my device. The security wipe finished, and I was about to reconnect with Exchange when I decided to visit our host's web site to see if they had any articles covering the issues I was experiencing. While they didn't have anything specific, I did find a step-by-step guide to connecting a BB10 device to Exchange... and right there at the end, it said "Do NOT enable memo sync."
I contacted support, and the rep told me that OS 10 has an issue with memo sync and it can cause all sorts of unpredictable behavior. Now, whether or not this is accurate I can say this: So far, the device is not disconnecting and reconnecting like it was before. Problem is, is this a result of not enabling memo sync, or is this a result of the security wipe?
I may have overlooked it, but I don't recall reading anything about that anywhere else. I'm tempted to try re-enabling the memo sync to see if everything blows up again. At least that way I can see for myself if the memo sync is a real issue. Of course, perhaps it's an issue with SherWeb (our host) specifically. Hm...
Anyway, for those that were interested, and for those that may come along in the future with a similar situation, the strange behavior that I first reported is no longer happening. I just don't know if it was a result of a security wipe or a result of not enabling memo sync with Exchange.

HT204053 I put an iTunes gift card into my iTunes app and wanted to use it to buy more iCloud storage. How do I do that? iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. Help

I put an iTunes gift card into my iTunes app and wanted to use it to buy more iCloud storage. How do I do that? iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. Help

Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

ICloud photo library and iCloud storage

How do I clear up my iCloud photo library because I uploaded all my photos to my Mac so they're safe and I deleted a lot from my phone because I had no use for them since they're on my computer but I still have like no storage on my iCloud. So is it best that I turn off I loud library to clear and then after 30 days turn it back on ?

yeah, I don't think they are allowing you to do this. You can only optimize the locally stored photos, and if the phone fills up with those, it will then dump some from your phone but keep them in the cloud. Like you, I was hoping that once you store a photo in iCloud, you could remove the local copy of the photo. and worse, if you do start deleting photos from your phone, it sounds like they automatically get deleted off of the cloud, after 30 days that is. Doesn't make sense to me. Finally, on your mac, if you have more photos than you have iCloud photo storage, it just stops syncing, rather than just storing your most recent pics?!?
