  • Why does camera on iphone4 still not work after buying more storage?

    Iphone 4: I bought 5 gb more cloud storage but still  cant usr camera due to not enogh storage: how do I fix it?

    You bought more iCloud storage but you really need more storage on your iPhone itself. You will have to delete or offload some content on your iPhone.

  • I can't turn on my iCloud backup on my iPhone 5. The selection switch is not working. My

    I have 3 other devices on the same account and all backup fine. One of those is an iPond 5. A 4th device, iPhone 5, will not let me select the backup. Also, it no longer streams photos to my other devices when WiFi is present. It will do Air-drop fine, and connects to wifi fine. Anyone have any ideas?

    Gail from Maine,
    Thank you so much in your continued efforts to help me out. Much appreciated.
    Here is what I see..
    Can't select the backup =  I go to Settings>iCloud>Backup (shows off).  I select > Backup(off)> and see iCloud Backup grayed out (not selectable).
    I have plenty of storage available: Settings>iCloud>Storage shows 195GB Available
    When I select: Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage>  My iPhone does not show up under the backup list. I use this iPhone with iTunes (if that matters).
    When I select: Settings>iCloud>Photos(On)> iCloud Photo Library (Beta) is selected on and shows "Uploading 1,131 items".  But does not start upload and the message always remains the same.  Tried shutting the Photo Library (Beta) on an off and no change. Also tried it after the reset and sow no difference.
    On that same Settings>iCloud>Photos page there is a selection Upload to My Photo Stream.  Prior to installing iOS 8, pictures I took with my phone would automatically copy over to the photo stream on the other 3 devices on my account when in the presence of WiFi.  The other 3 still do it and are all running iOS 8.  This iPhone stopped doing it after the iOS 8 Update and installation of iCloud. It was working before on iOS 7.
    The only different app that this iPhone has is a WirWatch, which is used to receive pushed e-mails from work onto my computer. This App was there when I was running iOS 7.  Don't know if it could be the reason. But none of the other devises have this feature.
    Thanks,
    Dan R.

  • Went into iCloud Buy More Storage Downgrade Options... got email about my phone number being changed right after???

    Hi,
    I've gone into the iCloud > Buy More Storage > Downgrade Options and after entering my password I received an email from Apple saying the following information for my Apple ID "id" was updated today: Phone Number(s). But I didn't change my phone number and the information currently saved for my phone number for my Apple ID is correct.
    Why would I get this email? I figure it must be some kind of bug considering the information is correct and it emailed me right after I entered my password in the iCloud section. (I'm not wanting to change my password.)

    The thread running through your explanation has to do with connectivity to your server. (iCloud out of the blue asking for password, unable to message your boyfriend, unable to access e-mail). You said that you boyfriend restart his device and then the two of you were able to then imessage. My best advice for you would be to go to settings to reset to reset network settings. Once this has been done you then will need to enter the name and password of your wifi. ONce this is done you then can attempt to check to see that all passwords are enter correctly.
    Good luck.

  • I used to be able to have thousands of pictures on my phone and now after my upgrade it keeps saying "not enough storage" is there anything I can do? I don't want to buy more storage

    I used to be able to have thousands of pictures on my phone and now after my upgrade it keeps saying "not enough storage" is there anything I can do? I don't want to buy more storage
    It says I cloud total storage 5.0 GB available 5.0 GB so whats the problem?

    iCloud storage is for backups. It is not associated with space on your phone. You cannot buy more space for your phone. Check what you have on your phone and delete what you don't use or seldom use to get more space on your phone.

  • 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.

  • My iCloud is full and I don't want to buy more storage. Can I clear my current cloud and then update without losing anything on my phone?

    My iCloud is full and I don't want to buy more storage. Can I clear my current cloud and then update without losing anything on my phone?

    This article provides some suggestions: Managing your iCloud storage.  In addition to what's mentioned there, deleting photos and videos attached to your text messages may significantly reduce the size of your iCloud backup and the storage it occupies.

  • TS4009 How do I delete my pictures in Icloud so that I may put more in without buying more storage?

    I would like to delete the pictures in my icloud so that I don't have to buy more storage. Any ideas? I have deleted the extra ones in photo stream

    Photo stream photos don't count against your storage so deleting those won't help.  Camera roll photos are included in your iCloud backup, which does use your storage.  To turn these off, go to Setting>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then turn Camera Roll to Off under Backup Options.
    If you do this you will no longer be backing up your photos to iCloud.  Be sure to import them to your computer for safekeeping so you don't lose them, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

    under 'buy more storage' I am unable to hit 'next' in my icloud management

    If you are a former MobileMe user and are trying to choose the 20GB plan on your computer, you have to click "Downgrade Options", enter your Apple ID password and click Manage, then click 20GB plan and click Done.
    If that isn't what you are trying to do, please explain further.

  • HT201318 After I buy more storage, how soon should I see the additional GB?

    I decided to upgrade and followed procedure. My bank account shows that I've been charged for the storage, but I still can't see the additional 20GB. How long should this take?

    "You guys.."  are you talking to Apple?  They do not participate here, we're only users like you.
    iCloud for the basic service is free.  You can buy more storage, but most users don't need it.
