I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

    Whatever you read about iTunes is wrong unless you're actually referring to feature movies, not videos. Videos, apps, music and iBooks you can re-download:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    Download to your computer and then sync to your iPod touch whatever will fit.
    And no, I can't say with certainty that they won't give you a refund, but it's unlikely. The most probable outcome, if you do indeed mean movies, not TV shows or other videos, is that they would set up an additional download. For other content they'll probably just direct you to the same instructions on re-downloading I just posted.

  • I tried to listen to music on my IPhone 4S and it was very fuzzy and didn't sound right. I made sure that it wasn't the headphones and everything. I went to the apple store and they said that there was nothing they could do. HELP!!!

    HELP

    I went to two different apple stores and both people looked at it and they said that my phone definitely had major hardware issues and that the dock was broken and that the headphone jack was broken but they said that I was out of warranty so I would have to pay around $200 for a replacement or an upgrade. But I really don't want to go that because I am waiting for the newest iPhone to come out because my contract is up in November. The guy in the 1st store was surprisingly rude to me.

  • What can i do to get my ipod to update? Says that there is not enough space to download these items. Please delete some photos or videos. There are none on it.

    Help please!

    Accidentally hit "helpful answer" on my own post, how do you undo?!
    Anyways, I cleared more space by simply deleting videos on my iPhone.
    It appears that there are definitely cases where the iPhone requires MORE than 2x the amount of space the app takes up in order to install the app.
    It would be useful if Apple could make this requirement a bit clearer.

  • HT1766 When syncing, iTunes tells me that there is not enough space on my iPhone, even though there are 20GB of free space

    There obviously IS enough free space, yet somehow iTunes seems to think there isn't.
    What do I do? Did somebody have this problem before?
    Tried restarting, switching on and off, nothing worked

    Unfortunately that's not the case.
    I didn't confuse it with my iCloud storage. I'm talking specifically about the storage ON my iPhone.
    When syncing the diagram on the bottom of the page (you know the coloured one that gives you Audio, Photos, Apps...) shows me that I have more than 20GB of remaining space.
    And I'm trying to get audio on it which is definitely LESS than 20 GB. So it should fit.
    But it still gives me the error message that the data I'm trying to sync to my phone is too large

  • Nokia 100 (not enough space for new messages)

    Hi!
    From time to time i get messages that there is a text message that wants to come through but that there is not enough space. I then delete some inbox messages and then within minutes i get the text. However, recently it has taken much more time for the text to come in after deleting old messages. 
    And why do i all of the sudden get a message that there is not enough space, then i delete some old messages, and NOTHING comes through? Why am i getting this so-called false alarm from time to time now?
    I really hope someone can help me with this problem!
    Thank you!

    Hi Friend,
    Much probably that "others" data is taking the most of usage space.
    So start to solve this issue deleting text messages.
    If the issue persists, connect your iPad with iTunes and check how much space "others" data is taking. try to reset your device by backup in iTunes.
    If still not working, I advice you to search ib other foruns. There are many pleople that faced this problem and successfully solve it
    Hope it helps

    There is a limit's to the number of files in one folder the MuVo can 'see'.

  • After accepting update to my time capsule, I can no longer complete a backup because there is not enough space.  I tried deleting old files, but it doesn't seem to work.  Any advice:

    My time capsule was updated through an apple download update on June 16, and now I cannot back up my computer.  The message is that there is not enough space.  I tried deleting my files, but it didn't help.  any suggestions?

    How much space is there according to airport utility?
    TM can be fussy.. Do a factory reset of the TC and give it a new name. Use short, no space and pure alphanumeric type names..
    And reset TM. See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Then set up TM again to the TC and see if TM will start .. the reset will not hurt the backup and TM can still find it on a renamed TC.

  • What to do when you want to restor your ipod but it says there is not enough space to do it ?

    My problem is that i have 21go of the section "others" on my iPod 5. So, I went on internet to find what is the solution (or what to delete to get more space on my iPod), and I found that it was a problem to have more than 5go of "others", and that the only solution was to restor it. My second problem is that I can't even restor it because it says there is not enough space to do it. So, I deleted stuff and there is now 4.73go of free space. But it still says that there is not enough space to restor it !!!

    No, it says that i don't have enough space on my iPod ;$ But it's ok now, I went on youtube to find a way to restore an iPod (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzyy4puapig). But thank you for trying to help me !!

  • I restored my iPhone 5 to IOS 7.1 on computer and tried to restore from icloud back up. It says "restore completed" but Apple logo keeps popping up every 5 seconds. It restored only contacts and sms. I can access the phone but have to stop if logo pops

    Hello khanhlinh98,
    I would recommend performing the following steps in order to stabilize your iPhone.
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • I had an iPhone 3GS and then I bought an iPhone 5. I have same apple I'd for both of the devices. Suddenly my iPhone 3GS buggered off and I had to buy a new one. But when I set up new iPhone from iCloud I hit data back up from iPhone5 instead of old 3GS.h

    I want to get data from iCloud on my new 3GS . But while setting up I used data from iPhone 5 . How to revert back? I want to get rid of back up of iPhone 5 on my new 3GS and want back up of old 3GS on new one.

    Assuming you do have an icloud backup for the old 3GS, then on the new one -
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

  • My daughter had an update for itunes which she did. She said that there was also an update for ipod but it had told her it failed. However, now when she connects USB cord it tells her she must restore. Is she going to lose everything on the device.

    My daughter had an update for itunes which she did. She said that there was also an update for ipod but it had told her it failed. However, now when she connects USB cord it tells her she must restore. I am assuming that it updated to IOS 6. Is she going to lose everything on the device if she goes ahead and restores it? She does not have anything backuped in the cloud as she was not aware that this update would cause this issue.

    If her iPod was backed up, she will lose the data on the iPod, but it could be restored from the backup.

  • I changed my LCD last day and now i noticed all my pictures on my phone are gone. I tried to restore the back that I got yesterday but it wont let me because its telling me there is not enough space on my phone!!!

I tried to restore the back that I got yesterday but it wont let me because its telling me there is not enough space on my phone!!!

  • I have backed up my ipad to my laptop prior to updating to the latest IOS and now I want to restore the backup back onto the ipad but it says there is not enough space? I have tried unticking all apps i no longer need, music etc but this still doesnt work

    I have updated up my ipad2 which had the original version on it (4.??) to the latest version of IOS. Before I did this I backed up the ipad to my laptop so I wouldnt lose precious pics and videos of my baby boy.  Now that the latest version is on the ipad it is now asking me if I want to start as a new ipad or restore my backup from itunes.  So i select restore my backup from itunes and connect to itunes but it now says there is not enough space to do so.  I have a feeling it is because there are alot of pics on our ipad which i presume are all in this backup, many of which we do not need on the ipad anymore but I have no idea on how I go about deleting these pics??  And how do I find where on my laptop this backup is and most importantly the video and pics of my baby boy.

    Restoring an iPad from an iTunes-generated backup should not require an Apple ID password.
    Did you encrypt the iPad backup? If so, then trying to restore will require entering the encryption password.

  • My Lacie external hard drive will not back up on Time Machine. Says there's not enough space. This has happened with every single external I've purchased. Thought TM was supposed to delete old backups??

    My Lacie External backed up on Time Machine after the first back up but now says there's not enough room. I thought TM deleted old back ups to save new versions. What am I doing wrong. This happens to me constantly. Every single external hard drive I've purchased for the MacBook Pro (5 of them) has not worked either initially or at the second back up. It either isn't formatted properly so I have to go to Genius bar to help me set up for the first back up, or after the first back up, it says there's not enough space and I have to go back to Genius Bar. Is there a way I can fix this on my own?

    I just purchased 2 external hardrives. a LaCie Minimus and a G Drive. Each 1 TB. The guy at Apple told me that would provide 2 good TM backups for me. My internal HD has 750 GB capacity, of which I'm using 700 GB. Perhaps the ratio is not great enough. I do wish they would have told me this before I purchased the two Bummmmer! I even had them format and get the first back-ups going because of issues I've had in the past. I also just bought a 750 GB for photos.
    So, I won't be able to buy another bigger external since I've just purchased 3. Ugh. Well, I'll just exclude some files and divide things up. Eventually, I just want my 20,000 iphotos on one of the 1TB externals, and a TM back-up on another so that iphoto will function once more. It really hates how many photos I have and is brutally punishing me for it.I seriously need to do some housecleaning!
    Thanks for the advice. Just moved from US to Australia last week and was hoping to upload a few photos and the domino effect has lead me to this. Just went to Genius Bar in Perth today and they told me how to reformat drive to transfer iphoto library over, but I got stuck at trying to back-up my TM.
