Upgraded iCloud storage, yet can't take photos

I just upgraded my iCloud storage capacity.  My iPhone shows the correct new storage.  I am getting error messages in Camera, saying there's no storage available to take new photos or videos. I've synched, plus deleted/moved off as many photos as I could (I don't have many).  Still getting the error.  Anyone else getting this message, and what solved it? 

Hi kcvinweho,
The error you are getting is not realted to iCloud or iCloud storage - it is realted to your phone itself. Do you have a bunch of videos that you have not deleted? Videos take up a lot of room. If you do have a lot, then back them up to your computer, and delete all of them.
You can also try resetting your phone, although I don't think that is the issue. However, if you have deleted most of your photos and don't have a bunch of videos and you are still getting the error, then a reset won't hurt....
Hold down the Home and Power buttons and continue to hold them until the Silver Apple appears. When the Home screen redisplays, try taking a picture to see if you are able to.
Cheers,
GB

  • I can't take photos on iPhone 5c even with available storage. I've already reset it.

    I can't take photos on my camera. I have 11 GB available on my iCloud but the camera says I have to buy more storage. I am paying a 20GB storage per month. I've had reset the phone, but nothing has changed.

    The amount of storage you have in iCloud should have nothing to do with whether the camera can take photos.
    Check Settings > General > Usage and make sure you have a reasonable amount of free storage on your iPhone.  A reasonable amount would be at least 15% of the total available space being free.

  • Can I upgrade iCloud storage using iTunes cards for payment?

    I have chosen not to use my credit card in conjunction with my AppleID, so I purchase all of my apps and media using iTunes cards.  Can I pay for upgraded iCloud storage using iTunes credits?  I would prefer to pay one year at a time using those credits, but if it needs to be monthly, that would be fine as well.  I just want to use the iTunes cards instead of a credit card for the payment.

    Thank you.  So to clarify, if I put a credit card on file for this AppleID, but I have plenty of iTunes credit to cover the monthly cost, then the monthly fee will be pulled from iTunes credits instead of my credit card.  Is that correct? 
    It sounds like the credit card is required in order to provide a backup payment option if the iTunes credits are all used up.  Is that also correct?
    You're awesome!! Thanks for the help.

  • When I try to upgrade icloud storage I get an "unknown error" message. I can't install the software upgrade or back up my phone. HELP!

    Need help with icloud storage

    Not sure if you are trying to upgrade iCloud storage to make more room for the upgrade, but that won't help you. If you do not have enough room on your device for the upgrade, then you have to delete some things off of your device. You can also try to do the upgrade via iTunes on the computer you sync with. A direct upgrade does not require as much memory as a Wifi upgrade.
    Upgrading iCloud storage only provides more storage for your backups and for your iCloud sync'd items like messages, contacts, etc.
    Until the iCloud Drive is fully functional, iCloud will not help you to increase the memory capacity of your device.
    And, right now, the iCloud servers may just be overloaded with activity.

  • HT4759 If i haven't upgraded to lion yet can i migrate to icloud when i do upgrade to lion?

    If i haven't upgraded to lion yet, can i fully migrate to icloud when i do upgrade to lion?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You need to migrate to iCloud before midnight on Saturday, you don't need to have Lion to do that, you just wont be able to use any of the features except Mail with Snow Leopard until you update to Lion.

  • Can't take photos and prompt keeps appearing saying STORAGE ALMOST FULL, YOU CAN MANAGE STORAGE IN SETTINGS but get stuck once I go to settings

    Can't take photos on my iPad and the prompt keeps appearing, STORAGE ALMOST FULL YOU CAN MANAGE STORAGE IN SETTINGS. Which I do but don't get any further!

    Do you have a computer around?  You could try plugging your iPad in and deleting uneeded apps, songs, movies, etc. using iTunes.

  • Can i upgrade icloud storage for secondary account?

    My secondary account is used mostly for email.  I deleted a ton of them but somehow am still voer the 5GB limit.
    I'm willing to pay the $100 upgrade to get rid of the hassle, but is theere a way to upgrade icloud storage for your secondary account?

    You would probably have to temporarily make the secondary account the primary account to upgrade it.  To do this, go to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...delete the secondary account, then go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out of your primary account and choose Delete at all of the prompts (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with your secondary account ID and upgrade the storage.
    After upgrading the secondary account storage, reverse the procedure to assign the primary and secondary accounts back the way they were.

  • How do I get my music onto icloud from my ipad? I can see i have plenty of icloud storage but can't get my music to store on icloud hence taking up lots of storage on my ipad

    How do I get my music onto icloud from my ipad? I can see i have plenty of icloud storage but can't get my music to store on icloud hence taking up lots of storage on my ipad

    If you want to be able to access your entire music library from iCloud, you'll have to subscribe to iTunes Match (http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).  Music purchased from the iTunes store is already in iCloud as it can be redownloaded at any time (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).

  • Can we take photos still while recording videos on iphone 4s on ios 6??

    Can we take photos while recording videos on iphone 4s using ios 6??

    1. Open the camera app.
    2. Move the slider from in the bottom right from photo to video.
    3. Begin recording your video.
    4. While your video is recording, tap the camera icon in the upper right to take a photo.
    5. You'll see the shutter close on your screen each time you snap a photo.
    6. Your photos will be saved to your camera roll.
    Edit:
    Just noticed you have a 4S...iPhone 5 only, sorry.

  • Can you take photos on digital camera and see them appear on the ipad using the camera connector

    Can you take photos on digital camera and see them appear on the ipad - i have a canon 400d and the new ipad.......

    The camera connection kit accepts only SD camera memory cards.
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    Unfortunately not. The USB adapter is only for importing photos and videos. Exporting is not supported.

  • Upgraded iCloud storage not showing the upgrade?

    Using iPhone 5s & new iPad Air.... Upgraded iCloud storage & it hasn't updated on either devices! Is there Anyway to see if you received my request & payment so I don't duplicate it?

    Contact the Apple online store for your country (1-800-MY-APPLE in the U.S. and Canada).  They should be able to verify that your upgrade purchase went through.

  • I have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why? :(

    Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?
    The next step would be to restore the iphone as new in iTunes. If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store.
    Best of luck.
