Upgraded iCloud storage for second time to 1tb but photo library still saying not enough iCloud storage to upload photos, help?

1Tb iCloud storage, 128gb iPad air 2, still saying not enough iCloud storage to upload photos

Hey EmilyEliza,
As you are clearly aware, it is important for you to have backups of your important data, including all of these photos you are currently keeping on your iPhone. While it is possible to use iTunes or iCloud to do backups of your iPhone, the problem becomes how to access those backups if you have deleted the photos from your iPhone. Once you have done the backup and then removed the photos from the iPhone, the only way to access the photos is by restoring the backups to the phone. See this article for information about backups made from the iPhone -
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
If you want to easily access the photos once they are off of the iPhone, another approach to this would be to import your photos from the iPhone into an application on your Mac, such as iPhoto. To learn how to do this, use the steps in this article -
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
Once those photos are on your computer, it is still important to back up those photos to somewhere else, so you can be sure of their safety before removing them from the iPhone. Your Mac’s Time Machine application is one method of doing this -
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,
Brett L

  • The following message appears when I try to turn on the iPad..."Not enough storage..this iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. You can manage your storage in settings." When I tap Close or Settings nothing happens

    Reboot 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.

    Don't try to turn the iPad off until you reboot.
    On your iPad, Did you try holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears? If you didn't try it, go ahead and do it. Wait until the Apple logo appears on the iPad screen before you let go of the buttons.

  • I have enough storage on my iPad Mini but still says not enough available

    I am trying to download LEGO Batman for the iPad mini and have 2.5G free space.  The App state 1.33G to download but I continue to get an error that there is not enough avaiable storage?
    help?

    The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Still saying not enough storage after resetting and erasing everything off my iPad don't know what to do if I reset the iPad in General what will it erase

    All I really do is watch movies on my iPad I will download two movies watch then delete knowing I can redownload we'll did that last night deleted and know that I'm trying to download a movie I just bought it's saying not enough storage when in general it saying I have 2.7 left I'm not that good with these kind of things but someone please help I have no apps downloaded no music movies some pics but that's it I don't understand

    Ashley ....
    if you reset all settings, you will not lose anything at all. You will have to reset all of the device preferences again like your chosen wallpaper, your privacy settings, whatever settings in the Settings app that you changed from the factory default, will have to be entered again.
    You will not lose any data, movies, songs, etc. I responded to your first post and told you that I'm not sure it will work anyway, it's just a suggestion. If you are not comfortable doing it, then don't do it.

  • HT5622 Rented a movie and said my iCloud was full so I paid 20 for more storage and it still says not enough storage in cloud to download

    Rented a movie for for iPad, said my cloud was full so I paid 20 for more space and still says it can't download because of lack of space

    To be able to download a film onto your iPad you need enough space on your iPad : Settings > General > About > Available - the film's description page should say how large it is, but some HD films are 5.5 gig +
    The iCloud storage that you've bought give you extra space for your iCloud backups, it won't give you extra space for downloading.

  • Deleted all data still says NOT enough storage for Icloud back up

    I have deleted  from my two devices (Iphone 4s and Mini Ipad) all my pictures , videos, emails and notes ( I dont store music)  and I still get the not enough storage on icloud. I dont understand, if i don't have anything in my phone or Ipad why I keep on getting this message. I havent been able to delete apps though.  I dont know what I am doing wrong. What can be occupying space if I have deleted everything.
    Thank you.
    I would welcome any help. I am

    It's iCloud you don't have enough storage on, not the phone.
    You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage > Manage...... on your iOS device. Or System Preferences > iCloud > Manage...... on a Mac.
    You have 3 options......
    Purchase more iCloud storage.
    Delete data or back ups that are being stored in iCloud already.
    Turn off items to be included in the next back up to reduce its size.

  • I've paid for a one year membership but Adobe is still saying I'm on a trial.

    I paid for a membership 27 June 2014. I still get the Adobe Manager coming up and asking if I want to continue the trial or license the software.
    I thought it would stop after a while but now I can't get into Photoshop because it's saying my trial has expired and is requesting a serial number.
    Anyone know how to make this stop so I can use all programs under my membership?
    Thanks

    I have the same issue with my Complete Creative Cloud membership after upgrading from Photoshop Photography plan. Moreover, when I launch Lightroom it says that Lightroom Mobile subscription expired and the weird thing when I go to my account online I see 3 memberships as follows:
    Photoshop Photography which is expired
    Creative Cloud Complete (annual) which is active
    Creative Cloud free membership which is active as well!
    I tried to use Lightroom mobile on my iPhone but I'm getting the same error (Subscription expired). I contacted Adobe chat and they are unable to solve the problem even after transferring the conversation to the technical team. My Cloud storage is 2 GB instead of 20 GB. I'm really disappointed with creative cloud. I really need this issue to be solved as soon as possible and your support is much appreciated.

  • Can't buy iCloud storage for second time on same card (accidentally missed .99c payment). Payment information won't accept  my country:region and will  not let me hit complete. Please help!!

    Please help! I've cannot update/amend my payment info after accidently missing the payment for more icloud storage. I would like to purchase it again using the same card and it wont let me. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated!

    Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
    If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
    Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
    I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

  • HT4436 My ipad is locked with a warning message I cannot close.  It says Not Enough Storage. This Ipad cannot be backed up because there is not enough ICloud  storage available.  You can manage your storage in Settings.  Below this is Close and Settings.

    Also, my ICloud account only on my Ipad holds my last Apple ID, I have an Iphone and two ipads.  How can I change to my current ID.

  • Upon upgrading to iOS 6  photo library still says restoring

    I upgraded to ios6 on my ipad with no problems but my phone says 'Restoring 49 of 1,967' and the little connection circle is going round and round but nothing has happened.  It has been showing this now for 18 hours.  I don't know if I should resync with my desktop or restore my photos from backup and would not know where to begin if I had to do so.  Any suggestions???

    I took a chance and hooked up my phone to my Mac and synced it again.  Was a little patient and all my photos reappeared.  Don't seem to be encountering any of the other problems people seem to be having on the forum.  Thank goodness!

  • Have purchased extra cloud storage but iPod touch still saying no storage available. Also cannot get iPod tp back up to cloud, Have purchased extra cloud storage but iPod touch still saying no storage available. Also cannot get iPod tp back up to cloud

    Have purchased extra storage for my iPod touch but iPod is still saying not enough storage available to download games. When I go into cloud it is saying I have 9.6GB storage.  Cannot get it to back up to cloud either. Help!

    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • I received "Not Enough Storage" and my iPad couldn't be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available.  I can't go to settings or power down because the touch screen isn't responding.  I did buy more iCloud storage with my phone,

    I received a message stating Not Enough Storage.  This iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available.  The touch screen will not let me select settings to correct this.  I did purchase more storage via my iPhone, but I still cannot get my iPad working.

    Try this.
    Reboot 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 have a message that says "not enough storage space  this ipad cannot be backed up because there is not enough cloud storage.  The message will not close so I cannot use the ipad.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
