TS4431 unable to free up space on my iphone 5c

I am unable to free up space on my iphone 5c to install the latest softwere.

If you connect your iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable and use iTunes to update the operating system the download will go to the Mac's hard drive and get installed from there instead of saving the updater on the iPhone.
How much free space do you have on your iPhone? If it gets too low you'll have problems taking additional photos, videos, etc.

How can I free up space on my iphone without connecting to itunes?

How can I free up space on my iphone (by posibbly deleting some music) without connecting to my mac itunes? I'm travelling abroad for some time so can't access my itunes account on my mac at home and the iphone is full. I thought I'd left enought room for plenty of new apps, but alas no. So I need more room for more apps. We have my partners PC laptop with her itunes loaded if thats any use. I've deleted and backed up all my iphone photos already. Thanks.

Claiming that it can be done, but not telling him how is not all that helpful. We were dying for you to share the steps that he must take.

The process is just like deleting an unwanted email in your inbox. Simply find the track(s) you don’t want on your iOS 5 device anymore, slide your finger over the track listing to the left or the right to reveal a hidden “delete” button, and then select “delete” and the track is gone. Unfortunately there’s no mass delete option, so those Backstreet Boys songs are gonna have to be deleted one at a time.

I have all my music in iTunes and have "Music Match" turned on. Apparently, I also have music on my iPhone 5. I need to free up space on my iPhone. If I delete the music on my phone, will it still be available to me on my phone via the cloud?

The same is true for photo's. I have too many photo's on my phone taking up space. Now I realize I can remove a lot of the photo's via sync options, but ...

This can happen if iTunes gets confused about what is and isn't on the device. These steps should resolve.
Backup the device.
Restore as a new device.
Restore the backup made earlier.

Can I save my photos from my iPhone to iCloud/iTunes, and then delete them from my iPhone to free up space on my iPhone?I would still like to keep them somewhere where they can be accessed.

One option is to turn on iCloud Photo Library on the phone and go to Settings > iCloud > Photos and turn on "Optimize iPhone Storage." Then you don't delete the photo from the phone but it does occupy significantly less space. More information in iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support

Unable to free disk space

Hi
I'm running on an encrypted HD. I have around 400mb of free HD space and just freed up about 10gb. However when I restart my Mac, I don't get the prompt saying that it is freeing up any disk space. So when I relog, i've still got just 400mb.
I'm not using any third party apps, just those built into leopard.
Any assistance gratefully appreciated
Matt

I have just tried to turn of the Filevault encrytion but it reports in needs over 130gb of free space in order to deactivate it :o

Unable to free disk space on macbook pro.

I have this weird problem. I have deleted some big files (In GB) to free up HD space, but my Mac HD free disk space stays the same, it is not increasing as it should. I had like 3.7 GB free space. I deleted 4GB files and it still shows 3.7GB free space. I deleted everything from 'Trash' and even tried restarting the computer. What seems to be the problem?

Here is some info on that (I've never had that problem myself, so I'm not sure what to suggest):

Not sure if this would still apply:

It seems to have something to do with a backup and/or FileVault. Also, do you have any third party apps for backing up, cleaning your Mac, AV protection or anything like that installed?

HT5503 Whats the best way to free up space on the iphone 3gs

I can't update my iphone with the 6.0 because I don't have enough memory. Whats the best way to free up space? I have already deleted some pictures and music..

Delete whatever files you don't need anymore and transfer data to an external hard drive. You can download and run OmniDiskSweeper. This application shows you all the files on your harddrive and what files are taking up the most space, just open the application and run it on your hardrive.

How to free up space on the iPhone 4S?

I only have 1.4 GB left on my 30GB iPhone.
I have about 1500 songs, about 600 photos (includes camera roll and photostream) and 4 albums, 56 camera phone videos, 72 Music Videos and 76 Apps.
All my songs are AAC which saves space. As for everything else, i have been removing videos and pictures I don't need on the phone but I am still at 1.4 GB available.
Based on what I posted here, what can I do besides darn near removing everything to free up more space on my iPhone? I see I have 5GB allowed for me to use icloud but how do I use that? Can I put pics, videos, and music on the cloud?
When I went to www.icloud.com, I didn't see anywhere that suggested I could put my music, pictures, and videos on the cloud.
Thanks!

iCloud is primarily for syncing data across devices (mail, calendars, contacts, bookmarks, etc.), backing up your phone's data, allowing you to download purchased music, apps & books, providing temporary (30 day) storage for photos until you can download them on other devices, and storing documents and data created in iWord apps. You access iCloud by going to https://www.icloud.com/. An option to store your non-purchased music is to subscribe to iTunes Match. Beyond that, you can't really upload data. If you're looking for a more general cloud-based storage solution to upload your data take a look at Dropbox.

How do I free up space on my iPhone?

I keep getting a message saying I can't take a video or picture because I don't have enough storage space on my iPhone. I do have a photo stream, but I'm so afraid to delete stuff from my photo stream even if I see it duplicated in my photo stream. Is this what is going to give me the most space again or is there something else I can delete? I feel like I've gotten rid of all the apps and videos I can. I only have a few videos for my son left and what seems like a pretty small amount of apps.
Thanks!

Settings>General>Usage. You'll be able to see what's taking up space.

Time Machine unable to free enough space

Just returned from a longer trip, taking a lot of pictures, and now my Time Machine backup is failing. Here's what I can read from the logs:
1) For about 45 minutes, it determines what needs backing up
2) Then, it determines it doesn't have enough space
3) It gets rid of a few backups (between 1 and 10), but still doesn't have the space
4) It gives up
This pattern has been repeating for days, once an hour, and no backup has happened.
How can I recover from this?

Right, I understand that there isn't enough space, but I also was under the impression that Time Machine is supposed to manage the space. The backups are the only thing on the time capsule. I'm backing up a single MacBook Pro with a 200GB drive to the 500GB time capsule, so Time Machine should be able to make space by simply deleting old backups. An so far, that has worked.
I get the impression that there's a limit to how many old backups are being removed, and it feels like a time limit. Meaning: If TM deletes backups for more than 10 minutes or so, and there's still not enough space, it gives up.
Trouble is that each turn of deleting some old backups is preceeded by that ~45 minute period of "determining what to back up".
That's what I'm doing now: Deleting old backups, and once that completes I'll compact the sparse bundle. Hopefully, that'll do the trick. So if I let this go on for days/weeks/months, it probably will eventually free up enough space again.
Still, this would seem like a rather common case, this should really work. So far, not very impressed with Time Machine.

Unable to free storage space after deleting photos on iphone 4s and ipad mini

Four hours later and I give in.
I've downloaded, then deleted all photo and video content from devices - including from 'recently deleted' etc.
Deleted and disabled icloud backups on both devices.
Still, the usage remains on both devices, and itunes.
But there are NO photos on either device.
Anyone. ANYONE OUT THERE HAVE A SOLUTION????? AAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHhh...........!!!!

Thanks AmishCake.
But, yes i've already tried the ol' trusty reset, to no avail

Im trying to free up space on my Iphone 5s. I have over 5gb of data in my quick voice app and want to back that up on my computer and delete from my phone. I'm an ex samsung user and completely lost.

I have just recently started filling up space on my phone and need to keep it free for photos. I just downloaded Itunes and can back up photos, but it won't take my quick voice recordings.

Are you sure you're backing up your photos and not importing them to your computer?
If you're backing up to iTunes, then the app data is part of the backup.
