Why is my icloud storage full, when I've disabled all apps from being backed up?

I saw my icloud storage was full, so i went into "manage storage" and turned off almost every app so it wouldn't back up to icloud. 
it still shows that it's full.  how/why?!

i just tried but it says it cannot backup bc there isn't enough space.
you can see in the screenshot that the next backup is 5.8 gbs.  my camera roll is turned off and the apps that are checked off are very small so i really have no idea what's taking up so much space.

  • Why is my iCloud storage full when I bought a 32GB iPad mini?

    When my mum bought me my iPad mini at Christmas (7 months ago), she bought me a 32GB and recently I have had notifications saying that my iCloud storage is full. I have deleted many apps and many photos, also when I try to delete the data of certain apps I don't want, the switch will turn to white (meaning it has been deleted) and when I go back onto Manage Backup the switch will be green ( meaning that it has obviously not been deleted). Why does this happen? Is it a problem with the iPad itself? My mum bought me the 32GB so problems like this wouldn't happen. Also writing this question my iPad has been running slow, is this because of my iCloud storage being full?
    I just put this down to be that when you buy the iPad mini you get 5GB free for your backup and the other 32GB is for photos, apps etc. Is this what has happened I have used up the 5GB of iCloud backup? Or have I used up the full 32GB?
    Thank you for taking the time to read and (hopefully) answer my question.

    Apps, music, movies, sync'd photos from iTunes are part of iCloud backup.
    You should turn off photo backup to iCloud and regularly sync your photos to your computer and delete them from the Camera Roll.

    Also writing this question my iPad has been running slow, is this because of my iCloud storage being full?
    No.
    Close all apps (double click Home then swipe up on all apps) then press & hold both Home & Power until you see the Apple logo.

  • Why 5s keeps saying storage full when i have nothing on my phone

    my phone keeps saying storage full with only MB left when i should have at least 6 GB free.  I have no music and 1 GB of pictures.  This problem happened before and the next day it was back to saying 6.something GB free. And nothing has changed since then.  Why is apple software getting worse?

    hey guys,
    i appreciate the responses.
    i did all that.  nothing is taking up my capacity.  I have already deleted all my music, i have 1 gb of photos, and only a few random apps, nothing totaling close to my phones capacity.  this has happened twice before where the memory slowly decreases and i get the message of full storage. Then 2 days later its back up to 7 or 8 gb.  Yesterday it was at 535 mb, and then last night it went back up to 6 gb. and as i type this its at 4.5 gb with no change in apps or photos or music.  I have the latest update and other than that my phone is working properly. im assuming its just another software bug, but if anyone has a solution, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks again

  • Help, please. (iCloud storage full when it shouldn't be)

    Hi folks. Need help re: iCloud storage. I own two Macs, an iPad (3rd gen), and iPhone 5. None of these uses iCloud for backups. My apps only take up about 20MB, and Mail takes up 407.8MB. And yet Settings says that my iCloud storage is full! I'm stumped and I don't know what else to do. Please help. Thanks.

    ........What do you mean by 'refreshing system preferences'? I just restarted my Mac before I checked but the same storage info is seen in my iPad and iPhone.
    Yes, that's what I meant my restart.
    What happens if you add, say a new pages document.
    Hold down the alt key after opening the Finders 'Go" menu, choose 'Library' from the menu, look in 'Mobile Documents' and let me know what you see, you can look in various folders at will, but don't go moving or deleting anything. Look for any large unexplained documents.

  • Why is my icloud space full when I don't have a ton of stuff?

    I don't have a ton of photos and music yet it says I have used nearly all my 5GB...why would that be

    You need an external drive so you can free up disk space. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

  • ICloud storage full on iphone, but deleted almost everything and grows larger!  iPad is fine with same iCloud acct.  can I delete iPhone backup then turn it back on without loosing iCloud data?

    Icloud storage full.  Can I delete my iPhone icloud backup with keeping my iCloud data unharmed (since my iPad has iCloud storage turned on, and I wouldn't be turning iCloud off on my iPad). BTW, I use iTunes for music and photo albums; iCloud for contacts, notes, etc. Then turn iCloud back up back on on iphone to see if I had a problem file and the storage changes?
    ICloud storage full.  I deleted messages, moved the camera roll to my PC, deleted Safari bookmarks, turned off almost every app in Managing  iCloud storage.  I turned off the backup, restarted iCloud backup and did a manual backup yet my storage gets larger yet. 
    Makes no sense.  I have a iPhone and iPad. It's the iPhone showing this large iCloud storage  3.6 GB (when the iPad has more apps and only 716MB).

    ANSWER to my Question above:  YES.
    I took a chance, as I could find NO information regarding my question, and DELETED MY ICLOUD BACKUP (not my ICLOUD account).  I then turned ON my ICLOUD BACKUP and whew!  It plummeted from 4.8 GB full out of 5 GB TO: 1.2 GB full out of 5 GB. 
    I even turned on more settings to back up and it still shows 1.2 GB full in ICLOUD, 3.8 available.  No more emails to say I am running out of ICLOUD space. 
    [For what its worth if others are getting messages their ICLOUD is almost full, and you don't have all that much on ICLOUD.  Then when you even delete apps, messages, camera roll, turn off almost ALL icloud back ups and features the ICLOUD backup grows even larger.  My ICLOUD kept increasing in size while I was decreasing my ICLOUD storage in Managing storage.] 
    (All my ICLOUD contacts, notes, Safari bookmarks, were returned in place.)

  • Why is my iCloud storage at 4.8GB?!

    Why is my iCloud storage at 4.8GB?! I have 0.8GB from Music, 1.2GB from Apps, and the rest from "Other." No one at Apple Store or Sprint store gave me correct advice. Most all my apps are OFF for backup. I don't get it. What is taking up so much space and how do I get rid of it? I've tried iTunes, iCloud.com, and going into Settings and Storage and all that. Please help.

    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage
    From there you can find how much and which files are in a backup, and how much different apps use to store data files.  At the bottom of the screen is the size of the mail storage.

  • Why is my hard drive full when I only have the operating system loaded and nothing else?  No pics, music, nothing...It's the 60 Gig hard drive on the air built in late 2010.

    Why is my hard drive full when I'm only running the operating system and nothing else is loaded?  No music, pics, nothing! I understand the hard drive is small at 60 gig, but I can't believe the os would take up that much space.

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB free on the startup volume for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved. ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To really see everything, you have to run it as root. Back up all data now. Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. After installing ODS in the Applications folder, drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. When you're done with it, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Got email saying Icloud storage full.  Yet, iCloud on mac

    Got email saying Icloud storage full.  Yet, iCloud on mac & Ipad shows 4.62 GB avail. of 5GB total.  How do I find out what is exactly wrong?

    Most likely nothing is, others have received this email but nothing happens. For now (unless you are having problem) ignore it.

  • My icloud storage shows the base 15 MB. I am being billed for the second year for $20 for 10MB additional storage. Can't see it

    My icloud storage shows the base 15 MB. I am being billed for the second year for $20 for 10MB additional storage. Can't see it on iPad cloud storage section.
    Where should it be?

    Your current iCloud storage should appear in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup when you tap Change Storage Plan.  It should also show in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage at the bottom (the available storage gauge).

  • I want to ask my icloud storage and backup is 3,3 GB available from 5 GB is it also because the apps i have been purchased took that much space?

    i want to ask my icloud storage and backup is 3,3 GB available from 5 GB is it also because the apps i have been purchased took that much space?

    Note that Photos in your Camera Roll are also backed up to iCloud.
    I have found most of the time, this is what is consuming a lot of the iCloud space.
    You should regularly copy the photos from iPhone to computer.
    -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Then delete from the Camera Roll
    You can then sync only the photos you want, back to the iPhone, using iTunes.

  • HT204053 why my apple id was disable when i try to get apps from app store

    why my apple id show disable when i try to get apps from app store???

    These are user-to-user forums, nobody on here will know why it's disabled. You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

  • Is there any way to get specific app data from iCloud so that when you redoes load an app, you can restore its data?

  • How do I prevent files from being backed up to iCloud and iTunes?

    I have created the ios app using adobe AIR16 and flash cc. After submission of my aap into aapstore, I received a message from Apple with the following message –
    From Apple
    2.23 - Apps must follow the iOS Data Storage Guidelines or they will be rejected.
    By using xcode we can prevent files from being backed up to icloud and itunes, but i want to know that  what is the way to achieve this by using AIR. While creating an explicit app id from apple developer account , i am not enabling icloud support.

    Within AIR you can set the File.preventBackup property to true on a directory or file to prohibit that content from being backed up to the cloud:
    File - Adobe ActionScript® 3 (AS3 ) API Reference
    This is all you need to call when you first create the folder or file to have it work with iOS backup guidelines.
