Updating to iOS 8.0.2 - not enough space.

If i delete music to create enough space to download 8.0.2, can i put the music back by syncing with iTunes after the new iOS is installed?

If the music is on your computer, as it should be, then you can sync it back whenever you like.

  • New PC – Trying to update iPhone 5, says there is not enough space

    I recently purchased a new PC.  I transferred all of my music from iTunes on my old pc to my new pc using an external hard drive, and imported the playlists.  Now, when I try to sync my iPhone to my new pc, it says there is not enough space.
    It appears that itunes thinks that I am trying to add additional music to the phone, rather than replace the music that is already on there.  How do I go about syncing my phone with my new pc (ie, replacing the music that is on my phone with the same music, just from a different computer)?
    If I restore the phone to factory settings and update using a recent backup, will this fix the problem, or will I run into the same issues afterwards, as the music from the backup is technically from my old pc?
    Thanks in advance

  • IPod 4th Gen iOS 4.3.3 wont update to iOS 5.1.1 (Not enough access privileges)

    Today. I thought that i should update my iPod as my iPod was beginning to become obsolete.
    So, i went to update, agreed to all of the agreements and stuff like that, and then a error message popped up.
    It said, "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "<my iPod's name>'s iPod". You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    Why? It's my iPod?! I should have all of the privileges to it anyway!
    Im running a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro on iTunes 10.6.3 on Mac OS X 10.6.3
    HELP!

    What are you/the iPod doing during those hours?
    How many hours?
    An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store may be in order.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • CAN NOT UPDATE AS ITUNES SAYS NOT ENOUGH SPACE ON PHONE

    wHEN TRYING TO SYNC WITH MY IPHONE  I GET A MESSAGE SAYING THAT THE PHONE COULD NOT BE UPDATED AS NOT ENOUGH SPACE FOR A 1.1 MB SYNC.I HAVE OVER 2.5 GB SPACE. BUT STILL WILL NOT UPDATE

    Hello Peter39,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will not update because it needs more space available. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
    If you need more space for an iOS update - Apple Support
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • Not Enough Space to Sync My Photos After Updating to 4.3

    With iOS 4.2, I was able to sync my entire Aperture photo library to my iPad and still had about 3GB to spare on it. It's a 32GB iPad. If I recall correctly, the photos took up about 6GB on it. After updating to 4.3 today, iTunes is telling me that it can not sync my photos to it because there is not enough space.
    How can this be? I had been syncing the entire library before with 4.2. OK, maybe Apple is optimizing the photos differently for 4.3 and they need more space, I don't know. I went ahead and cleared out all my video I had synced there along with some other stuff and freed up over 20GB of space which is available. Yet iTunes is still saying there's not enough space. How can this be? There was space with iOS 4.2, but not with 4.3. With 4.2 I had a few GB to spare even with my entire photo library synced. Now I freed up over 20GB and it's telling me it can not sync my photos.
    So now I am going to try to selectively sync photos to my iPad instead of choosing the option to sync them all. I still don't understand why I was able to sync them all under 4.2, but not 4.3.

    OK, I got it to work. Here is what I did.
    First it seems that iTunes is over-estimating the size of the photo library before it re-optimizes it. I have 17k of photos that I sync. It was reporting it would need in excess of 30GB of space to sync it (actually it only reports that there's not enough space, it doesn't give you actual numbers, but I was able to calculate them).
    So I cleared off all my videos from my iPad and whatever photos iTunes did sync to it and thus I had just over 20 GB free. Still wasn't enough space to sync my photos iTunes would report.
    I know previously that my photos fit on my iPad under iOS 4.2 and even if Apple has changed the optimization process resulting in larger image files, I can't believe they would be 5x larger. So I decided to sync just a fraction of my photos. I synced about a third of my photos. iTunes reported that it would be using 10.5 GB of space for those photos. But once it optimized them and synced them to my iPad, it was less than 2GB of space. So I knew I would be able to fit them all, it is just that iTunes is over-estimating the size.
    After a third of my photos were already synced to my iPad, now iTunes was reporting it would need 16.5GB for my entire library. I synced it.
    In the end, I was able to sync my entire photo library back to my iPad and the resulting space used for it is 5.8 GB, not over 30GB as iTunes was estimating originally.
    So if anyone else is having this issue, try clearing out some space on your iPad, and then syncing only a fraction of your library (a third or half) after that, then try syncing your entire library again. Once you do, you can put back media that you cleared out to make space.
    Cheers,

  • 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.

  • I am trying to update my apps on my 4s but says there is not enough space. It shows i have 19.3 GB of 25 GB. Also, in my itunes...it shows about a quarter of space on the bar is photos but I took all the photos out. Don't make sense.

    It's telling you there's not enough space *on your 4S*.  The 25GB you refer to is probably that on iCloud, that's different memory than that on your iPhone.  You need to delete video, pictures, apps, or whatever ON THE IPHONE, to make enough room for downloading updates to your apps.

  • After updating to IOS 8, I can not delete individual messages, and the trash can is gone

    After I updated on IOS 8, I can not delete individual messages, only delete all and the trash can is gone!!!  Anyone else having this problem?

    The option is still there - hold down on said text - more - then hit the trash icon.

    You need to discard or save to an external disk and then discard some of the stuff we all tend to keep forever (movies, music, pictures, docs, apps no longer used, etc.). A clogged up disk also does not function ideally either.

  • My ipod touch 4G got problem after update to iOS 6, it can not access the Apps store ,can not access safari,map, weather and so on, could someone help me to solve the problem, thanks in advance~~~

    Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I've upgraded my MacPro but not enough space to do so on my 5s and iPad.  Should  I take both back to original settings and allow the update?

    Not a techie here...please advise on best method to update 5s and iPad Air.

    To clarify:  I have a 16g iPhone 5s and an iPad 32g and both are due for current Yosemite updates.  I successfully completed Yosemite update for MacPro.  I attempted to delete photos and music from both of the former in order to allow the download, however, still not enough space.  Also removed some apps that weren't being used.  Still not enough space.  So I thought perhaps taking both devices to original straight-from-the-box state might allow for easiest updates to download.

  • Since my update to IOS 6 I can not download Apps. What do I do!!??

    Since my update to IOS 6 I can not download Any Apps, because I can not see te info on the next screen when I chose an app... What do I do!!??

    It HAS to be hardware..
    I made the appointment, thank you.
    I consistently close all apps, keep my brightness down, keep wifi off when not in use, and location services. Reset my phone and still the battery drains so fast!
    It appears to be messaging, and Facebook apps, and safari that are the leading cause..
    If I send maybe 10 texts, I'll easily lose 4-8 % battery. I literally watch it drain in front of my eyes.
    Roughly a minute of Facebook, safari, or mail consumes 1-2%.
    That is faulty hardware, or software..
    Either way it's apples fault. My phone is mint! Never been out of this otter box except to wipe dust off and when I charge it..
    I charge regularly. Let it die down before charging, and let it almost completely die then fully charge it once a month too.
    I hope apple repairs my battery, or software

    I use CCleaner from the AppStore to delete the 'useless' stuff. It's free and works great for me
