The iphone 5C storage full at 5GB. Why?

If iphone 5C has 8GB capacity, why is storage full at 5GB? Thanks

The operating system takes up some space and, like most any computer/memory driven device, the reporting of storage accounts for the rest.

HT201469 If the iPhone 5s has touch ID, then why can't it use Apple Pay to make in-app purchases?

They came out with a new iPad mini, and the only difference with the old mini and the new mini is that it has touch ID so that you can make in-app purchases. That's just about the only difference.
Ok, well, the iPhone 5s has touch ID already. Why can't it be used to make in-app purchases?

Yes, actually I did. There's no Apple Pay option.
But there's more to it than that. If you look at the Apple Pay section of Apple's website, it specifically says that Apple pay will only work with the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and Apple Watch for making in-store purchases (you know, actual stores), and with iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3 for making in-app purchases.
So Apple's website specifically says that Apple Pay will not work for iPhone 5s for making in-app purchases.
My question is, why? What technology is it lacking?
I understand that iPhone 5s can't do in-store purchases since it doesn't have NFC. But in-app? Why not? It has touch ID.

See this -> Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
then regularly backup your computer.

I have an Iphone 3Gs. I need to get contents of messages that were sent and received on the phone in June for evidence in court. I read online that the Iphone internal storage keeps all data done on phone in the storage. How do I get into it?

I have an Iphone 36s. I need to get contents of messages that were sent on the phone in June of this year. I read online that the phone has an internal storage that keeps all data when phone is used and that this internal storage can be accessed. I need the contents of particular messages for evidence in court. How do I get into the internal storage? I've tried some of the methods that people post online, but none of them have been successful. Help!

If you still have a backup from that point in time as part ofr your computer backup history, you could restore the backup folder, restore the phone from that backup and have the messages on the phone.
More details about restoring from old backups can be found here: iPhone and iPod touch: About backups

Can not download ANYTHING from my apps on my iPod Touch, application Not compatible this application requires the iPhone 3.0 software update. Why? It's an touch not a phone

After restoring my iPod touch I am unable to download anything from itunes and my app. Keeps telling me to down load iPhone 3.0 update. Why if it's an touch not an iPhone?

I sounds like you have the first generation (1G) iPod Touch with an iOS earlier than 2.0, Yu can identify your ipod here:
Identifying iPod models
You can identify your iOS version by going to Settings>General>About and look by Version. Yu can update ti iOS 3.1.3 (the lated for the 1G) by this link. It is a paid update. You may have to try another browser to get he sublink to work correctly.
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
What computer OS and version do you have and what version of iTunes is installed on the computer?

Iphone 5 storage full

I have deleted photo's, videos and apps that I do not/have not used yet I continue to receive Full Storage notifications.

Thank you for your reply! I just tried importing my pictures again. iTunes gave me the same message - that the storage was too full. I looked under summary, and I don't quite exactly know what usage numbers you are looking for, but it does say it is over capacity by 190.8 MB. However, when I plugged in my phone to the computer, it started to import pictures automatically into Dropbox. I just recently got Dropbox, so I did not have it the other times I tried to import. I managed to get the pictures onto my computer and, by some miracle, was able to delete a couple hundred from my phone. It also let me delete the long videos on my phone, which I've been trying to do for months. I went to my Storage and it now says I have 6.6 GB free (which was so amazing to see that I had to take a moment). I can take pictures now. I quickly updated a few apps and the space is still good. However, there are some apps that it still will not open (as in I open it up, then one second later it closes out). These seem to be the social media apps-- Twitter, Instagram, Facebook. Should I just delete them, then re-download? That will not mess anything up, correct? So far, Safari is working, which is a major relief.
How would I go about syncing things like contacts?

None of the stores seem to have a spare for the iphone USB to Lightining converter cable, why is that????

The charger for my iphone5 is lost and I am trying to find a replacement. None of the stores have a stock of the original apple USB to lightning converter cables, most of them dont have it at all or have a third party cable from Gecko or some other brand. Cant see why they are not stocking original apple products despite them being premium resellers of Apple. Is apple even aware of all of this.

We're users here Vivek, not Apple. Asking your question here is pointless. We don't speak for Apple and would have no more idea than you do as to why these are out of stock.
Do you have a technical support issue?

WHY are the iphone displays so different in color????

Ok- I have to ask why??? No one at apple can tell me why....
I have seen many ip4's and they all seem to have different levels of brightness and color hue's (kalvin temps) WHY? Due to problems with my phone I have had to return the phone three times 4 times now.Not being picky but each phone I have had has had its own issues...First one had the yellowish dots, messed up sensor and sorry battery and everything else...The screen color temp throughout was yellowish.The second ip4 i got was more cool in color temp more of a bluish white but the battery was horrible, Went back today to return and the phone they gave me was very yellowish so I told them no way am I leaving with this phone so they opened a new one and this one is not as yellow and not as bluish maybe somewhere in-between. also I am not sure if its as bright as the one I took in today. I do know that compared to the floor models it was not the brightest but also not the dimmest....I understand that they can not keep bringing out phones and activating them to see the color and brightness but I would think that there would be better quality control on these phones. It just does not make sense as to why so many phones are all so very different in the brightness and color temp of the screen.
My main concern was battery life so, I do think I finally got a phone that has a much better battery. It has only drained 7% in 8 hours.
So any ways this thread is not about battery but it is about the brightness and color of the iphone screens..Does anyone know WHY?????????
Thanks!!!
and please understand that I am trying to understand...not trying to be a picky jerk but I do not like yellowish dim screens. After having an 27"imac LED that I can only keep at 50% because it is so bright and white that looking at a yellow screen is just not my cup of tea.........

I've seen no difference among the three we have in our family, except those attributable to different brightness settings -- and whether the auto brightness function is enabled or not.

When i make several enquires on the iPhone 6 purchase and I don't understand why Apple locked my ichat now ?

Need answer to my question????
When i make several enquires on the iPhone 6 purchase and I don’t understand why Apple locked my ichat now ?

How can I make unpleased remark as I am an Apple supporter, my family own 2 macbook, 3 iPhone 5S and 2 iPad. What I did asked Apple during the last online chat was why can’t I buy the iPhone 6 till now, next was, why some re-seller Apple store in Singapore can reserve the iPhone 6 and some can’t. Today what I wished to asked was why China Apple site still can purchased iPhone 6 after few days of launch as for Singapore site only few hours of launch and till now nearly a month I still can’t purchased it? So is my enquire offensive to Apple online chat that they have to LOCKED my online chat??? The problem was Apple not even reply my past enquires.

Still possible to buy iPhone 3gs at full retail price?

Just wondering, now that the 4 is out, is it still possible to go to one of the apple stores in Boston (travelling there soon) and buy iPhone 3gs 16gb at full retail price?
Is it also possible to buy the iphone 4 at full retail and what are the prices for either of these phones?
Because my mate once bought it in Best Buy and now (almost 3 years later I think) he could not buy it (at full retail price).
Thanks in advance.

Only if there's stock left. The current 3GS is 8GB only. But apart from that I don't see why not.

Is the iPhone release simple by design??

Is iPhone Intentionally simple to start with?
I was thinking about this a lot lately. There are so many things, simple things, obvious things, missing from iPhone on its release that I cant help thinking its more of a strategy then lack of foresight or users needs.
Apple and AT&T both knew that this release was going to be huge, possibly adding 1/2 million new (or changing) users to AT&T's infrastructure and immediately putting a strain on its system, support technicians, help desk, etc. Apple knew it would be handling calls from confused users, those needing help, etc etc.
So perhaps they simplified things by putting out the most basic elements possible on the iPhone. If you think about it, if they had put MMS on the iPhone, there would be a huge increase in data transmission over the Edge network of everyone sending pictures from their new iPhones. That could be a huge strain on the network. Also the more the iPhone does, the more people will be calling with questions, problems, or complaints, flooding Apple and AT&T's call centers with tons more seemingly unneessicary calls. Leaving a lot of things out on the release probably prevented tons of calls to the helpdesks so the teams can focus on the release and any problems related to it. Maybe the idea was make it simple, and then once the storm calms down, add more things out little by little until the iPhone reaches its full capabilities.
I sincerely hope this is the case! While I love my iPhone and most likely wont return it (that thought is still on the table though) it is obviously severely lacking in many of the more basic and wanted things.
I just hope we dont have to wait months for an update. A week into owning the iPhone and I have found that I am getting bored with it's current abilities. Definitely better then my blackberry was, but the Nokia 7125 I had for a while, while it didnt have the cool gui the iPhone does, was quite a bit more useful, not to mention fun, in terms of its abilities.

If there is one thing that is very obvious here, it has to be that Steve Jobs loves to introduce new functionality on-stage. It is one of his biggest passions in life, to stand on a stage and talk about a new product or new functionality. Just watch one of the videos on this website. You will see it. Anyway, this gives him tons of future opportunity to introduce a new function to the iPhone. I think the ability to choose something from the iPhones music library as a ringtone, will be one of his biggest announcments in the future, and he will surely bask in that applause he gets from it. He loves that almost as much as he loves life itself. So don't worry, our phones are headed for better days,... after all, they have the ability to receive software updates from Apple. So you know that means added functinality. Be sure to leave feedback in the appropriate section on this website, listing all of your iPhone upgrade wishes. The more they get, the better the chance it gets updated quicker.
