Trying to download from itunes, getting not enough storage message... already purchased the additional 15gb of extra icloud storage... why is the phone still not working?

I have been getting this error message for a while... it seems to be the only thing that helps is deleting all my photos and all my music and the bigger space sucking apps.... however what good is the phone if i have to delete everything i use in order to download something new.... What am i doing wrong? I dont want to keep deleteing all my music or pics just so i can buy one or two songs from itunes...

If your iPhone is full, then you have to delete things to add new ones. Additional space on iCloud does not have anything to do with how much is being stored on your iPhone. The iPhone has a limited capacity, as with any storage device, and so can only hold so much.
You can see in iTunes how much space is on your iPhone and what amount of space what you wish to put on it will require. If what you wish to put on the iPhone is more than the iPhone can handle, then you will just need to cut back on what you wish to keep on it. Or sell your current iPhone and buy one with more capacity.
Regards.

    The itunes app I downloaded on my pc is not working. Any suggestions?

    If you're trying to "run" it on your computer that would be expected. iOS apps only run on iOS devices, namely iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

    It means you do not have enough Space on your Device and need to create More Space on Your Device by Deleting some items off your device.

  • ITunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures.

    iTunes (10.5.2.11) locks up when trying to download from iTunes U site Madingley Lectures. The problem is repeatable on two different PCs running the same version of iTunes. I never previously had problems downloading presentations from this site. Any ideas?
    Both PCs are running Windows 7 fully up to date with patches.

    Duncan,
    I successfully downloaded the latest edition by going to the Store area. It took around 10 minutes. iTunes behaved fine and indicated the progress of the download.
    However when I try to download another lecture via the iTunes U option within iTunes, the software freezes.
    There is no progress bar and I can't change focus within iTunes. The only option I have is to kill the process from the Task Manager.
    The lockup occurs almost immediately after I click on the Get button.
    In previous months the downloads worked fine.
    Thanks for your assistance

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

    Apparently cookies was turned off in Safari. I rarely use it so I have no idea how that happened. Anyway, turning them on seems to have cured the problem.

    Is this a debit card you're trying to use? If so, those are apparently no longer accepted by the iTunes Store. You need to use a true credit card. If you are using a credit card, make sure all your billing details match your bank statement exactly. If that doesn't help, call your credit card company and ask if they can see any sort of flag on your account that might cause your card to be declined.
    Regards.

    Is there any way to access the music now or is it lost? Thanks x

    By any chance, did you have the Find My iPhone app installed prior to it being stolen?

    Hopefully you had your iTunes purchases backed up to an external source such as an external drive or CD's?

  • Updating to IOS7 caused all files on iPad to disappear and restore from iTunes does not work

    I recently updated my iPad to IOS7. Before doing so, I backed up the contents to iTunes.  After completing the update, I found that the iPad has been completely cleared out of all files. .It is now completely empty and prompts for a new setup when I turn it on. 
    So naturally I tried to restore from iTunes. However, although the restore process appears to have completed, nothing changes at all on the iPad.  It remains a blank slate.
    Can someone please advise how I can recover my files?  There are a lot of important photos I want to preserve. Perhaps I am missing some obvious step.
    Thank you

  • Downloads from iTunes are not going into my library

    When I download songs and podcasts from iTunes on my iPhone they seem to download fine but they do not go into my library. Any ideas? All software is up to date.

    I am using the same account. It happened once before and all I did was connect it to iTunes and it seemed to sort itself. I tried connecting it again but it doesn't seem to have worked this time. My purchases went into my library before when I purchased from the store on my iphone and I haven't changed any settings that would stop this. When I say my library, I mean the songs and podcasts don't appear on my iPhone when I purchase from it.
    Thanks for your help though.
