Why does my new phone tell me that I am running out or storage space?
I have a new Samsung Galaxy S5. It is telling me that I am running out of storage space on the device. I have only just received this phone and can't access my email account. What is the problem here?
Hi,
Difficult to answer without looking at the phone. If you go into settings and look for storage it will tell you how much is used for certain processes/documents.
Are you using a memory card and if so are you storing photos/videos on it as these take up loads of space and are best saved to Sd cards. Also are you installing large games?
Thanks,

I am receiving notifications that I am running out of storage space. I backed up my mac book using an external and time machine. Can I delete some files to make room?
If so,
When I want to restore from my time machine, can I pick and choose, say certain songs, photos or documents?About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive. You can also use the Time Machine application to selectively remove files, but that may be ineffective if you have to free up GBs of space. -
My iPad keeps showing a message that I have run out of storage space. I have purchased more iCloud space in settings, but I am still getting this message. I also am not able to sync my iPad in iTunes when plugging in to my computer.
The storage space is the iPad storage space, not iCloud storage space. What size Ipad do you have?
How much space is your Other using? 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, 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.

I have a Macbook that is quickly running out of storage space.
Should i increase the drive size or move items (movies) to the cloud? If cloud is the answer, how do i move them?
If by music, you are refering to iTunes purchased music, you can't "put them into iCloud". Basically they are already there . Simply delete them. You can redownload them at any time via the itunes app.

Why does my I-Phone 4 tell me that it can't back up onto i-Cloud as it has run out of storage space, but when I look at i-Cloud storage it tells me I have 4.7GB out of 5GB available?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you checked how much space the backup will need. -

Why am I constantly getting the message that I don't have enough storage space? I have upgraded to the 50GB storage plan and I am still getting the message. Help?
That message refers to storage on your iPhone, not cloud storage. You will need to move content off your phone to make more space.

My Ipad says that i am running out of storage but my icloud says that ive only used 1.4gb of the 5 allotted and when i go to usage manage storage all my apps are turned t the on postpition for backup. So i dont nderstand why my ipads storage is being used
iCloud doesn't give you more storage on your device, it only gives you more storage in iCloud to sync data, store your backups, etc. If you're running out of space on your iPad you'll have to delete some data off your iPad to free it up, such as syncing some of your music or other media off your iPad.
You can check how much free space is available on your iPad by going to Settings>General>Usage and looking at the Available number at the top. -
I keep getting a Warning that I'm running out of disk space. Even after I deleted all of my photos and e-mail I still show 0 available space. Please help!
Correct KiltedTim the iPhone does not have a disk drive, and it does give an error message about running out of disk space. I'm here searching for how to clear it and/or what causes it. A friends 8gb iphone 3G has started giving her that message. It is not jailbroken, has no videos, 400 songs, 20 apps. The system information says there is 0 bytes free. There is 4.6 Gb of "other" data taking up the remaining free space. None of the few apps on the phone I expect would take up that much space with data. Even her emails and saved text messages shouldn't fill 4GB. New iPhone coming in the next couple of days. Easiest to just reset the old one after the upgrade and redownload the apps to make sure not to mess things up.

I am trying to edit my music list and then sync it to my iPhone 5 so I don't run out of storage space. However, I see the check marks on the iTunes library but am unable to uncheck them? How do I manually edit what will be synced to my phone? (the check marks are not bolded, does this mean they are not in my library but only on my phone?)
You uncheck the music in your iTunes library on your computer and along with sync only checked songs and videos selected under the Summary selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, only checked songs in your iTunes library will be transferred to your iPhone or remain on your iPhone and the unchecked songs in your iTunes library that are currently on your iPhone will be removed when syncing.
Or make use of iTunes playlists and choose selected playlists, albums, artists under the Music selection for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and select the playlists below that you want transferred to your iPhone. -
TS3992 Phone running out of storage space, bought 15GB of iCloud storage...still not working
My phone was running out of storage space so my friend suggested I backup my files to iCloud. After doing this and paying for 15GB, I still am unable to take any new photos. This did not open up new space for me and it says there is still 7.7GB available. HELP. My friend who told me to do this said it worked for her and she has 25GB. My phone allowed me to take screenshots before and now I can't save anything. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help here?

This more than likely means you are running out of Space LOCALLY on your Device and you need to Delete Data OFF your Device...
If this is the case... Getting Additional iCloud Storage will not fix your issue.

I have 54.84 GB of storage available out of 50GB on my i cloud account. Yet i keep getting e mails from i cloud warning me that i am running out of storage. I bought £70 of extra storage to try and sort out this problem, but to no avail. Please tell me what to do!
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.

Why does RT 2011 Sp1 tell me that I need a newer version to run an app?
After installing RT 2011 SP1 on a laptop, I get an error that I need a newer version of Run time when i try to run an application created from LV 2011 SP1. Any ideas why?
Hi,
Try to verify the version of LabVIEW installed in your controller (NI-MAX >> Remote System >> [Your Real-Time Target] >> Software >> LabVIEW Real-Time). Your controller should still be running the previous version of LabVIEW Real-Time. Try to install the new version in your target.

I always have the time range in the Clear Recent History window set to "Everything", too.
While I didn't know about the about:cache page, it doesn't help me understand why Firefox is doing this, and how to fix it. Also, as I said in my question, I already knew about the cache information in the Advanced tab of the Options menu. I was trying to imply that I sometimes have to clear it using both the Clear Recent History feature and in the Advanced tab of the Options menu, because using Clear Recent History doesn't delete it all.
