Difference in storage iPhone shows iTunes and iPhone control

Hey everybody,

Just a quick question. When I connect my iPhone, I noticed that there is a difference between the available storage space in iTunes and my iPhone settings. To clarify, when the iPhone is connected to my MacBook, iTunes States that the available storage space is 26 GB, but my iPhone displays in the settings menu that there are only 12 GB available.

In addition, I have seen what is happening before on my previous iPhone as well as on my iPad.

Any ideas on why this is happening? And which one is the most accurate assessment?

Kind regards

Izzy

  • differences in storage between 5 (A1428) and 5 (A1533)

    Hello

    I recently had to replace my iPhone 5 (A1428) with a 5 (A1533). I was not able to load my backup set on the new iPhone. Because they are the two 16 GB, I'm stumped. It should not be the same? Two iPhones have iOS 9.3.3. I can no longer boot the iPhone 5 because of water damage.

    Thanks for any idea!

    TJ.

    The free space on the old phone has been filled to the minimum? If so, this might be a reason for not being able to restore. During the restoration process the phone has need a bit more free space available as the size of the backup that you want to install.

    Any error messenges during the process?

  • Restoration - difference between erase (iPhone vs iTunes)

    We (me andChrisJ4203 ) were recently involved in a problem where the person had difficulty with a car with Bluetooth connection after unlocking

    Limitations of the iphone unlocked 6

    As we sifted through the questions: one thing that struck me.

    The person had used the command "Erase content and settings" to restore the phone

    Whenever I advise someone to do a restore - my reference is always using iTunes

    Where the question: is there a difference - OR should there be a difference in the results produced by each?

    (I was reading some old posts, who lamented a lack of in-depth technical discussions so that this came up - thinking, I could ask around)

    Thank you for all you would care to provide views

    -MS

    I'll offer an opinion for what it's worth:

    We will first consider restoring from iTunes method.  If we compare this to ' erase content and settings "followed by a restore of backup iTunes, I would say that the difference is restoring from iTunes combines some steps for the user, so they do not have to run each individually.  Basically, iTunes restore packages several stages together - erasure, then restore from backup.

    Restore from iCloud has a much harder time to make this packaging, as he must first clear content and settings to even offer the ability to restore a backup to iCloud.

    Finally, there is restore like new.  There are two ways to do this: one from iTunes and one from erasing content and settings.  So I think the iTunes method is just to be complete when the choice of a restore in iTunes, for the person to restore as a new, or restore from a backup in iTunes.

    In any case, the result is in my opinion, there is no technical difference between results for any specific 'restore from/as... ". ', differences only packaging how to present questions to the person performing the restore.

  • "iPhone is disabled, connect to iTunes" AND "iTunes can not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a password" error message on the phone and the computer! Help!

    So I recently had my password wrong too many times and my iPhone 4S locked out telling me "iPhone is disabled; Connect to iTunes'. And so I connected to iTunes and decided to restore my phone. I finished the process of restoration of the configuration of my phone, but ultimately, it was not even let me in the phone! Once AGAIN he said "iPhone is disabled; " Connect " to iTunes '. However, this time, this message appeared just when I turned on my phone with a black background. I didn't scan the screen for the error message is displayed (and there was no time to be shown). When I tried to connect to iTunes again as he asked, now it says "iTunes can not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a password".

    So now, he said "iPhone is disabled; ' Connect to iTunes' on my iPhone 4S and ''iTunes can't connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a password ' on my computer. WHAT should I do?

    As described in step 2 of "Erase your device with iTunes" in this article, you will need to use the Recovery Mode.

    Recovery mode is described in this article as well.  You may try to go into recovery mode more than once to succeed.

  • Impossible to attach Windows 10 laptop computer to the Internet via cable USB iPhone 5 c after update to iTunes and iPhone (March 2016)

    System information:

    Tactile Lenovo Y50-70

    Construction of 10.0.10586 of Windows 10-10586

    iPhone 5 c - iOS 9.2.1

    iTunes - 12.3.2.35 / 64-bit

    Cell carrier: Etisalat AF

    Last year in Afghanistan, I have used my iPhone 5 c to attach my laptop to the internet simply by connecting via USB.  It has always worked.  Was very simple.  When I returned to the States for R & R in November 2015, I've updated my iPhone and iTunes to the latest versions and upgrades Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

    I am now back in Afghanistan and USB tethering no longer works.  WiFi tethering works half the time.  The other half of the time, when I try and connect to the network of the iPhone, it is said, you cannot connect to this network.  When I can't connect to the phone, I disable the personal hotspot, WiFi and Bluetooth on the phone and then I turn it back on.  I also turn off my WiFi adapter on my laptop and turn it back on.  Which usually solves the problem and then I can connect via WiFi.

    Do some research on the internet, I read that there was a file corrupted when the current generation of iTunes, but Apple had set and you just need to reinstall the current version, which I did.  I have reinstalled iTunes by suggestions from different site.  After reinstalling iTunes and restart, I can always have my phone to connect to internet via the USB cable.

    I want to be able to connect my laptop to the internet using my phone via the USB cable.  I want it all works just as it did previously.  Connection via WiFi is a pain in the ass, because it does not work half the time and disconnects on a regular basis.

    Please tell us what should I do to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    OK, I finally understand how to solve this problem.

    I was able to understand because of this post:

    The problem is that Windows 10 was not install appropriate drivers for my iPhone.

    You can see 2 places to see.  We're in the control panel.  After you plug in your iPhone, the iPhone will be displayed and highlighted as not having is not a compatible driver.  The other place is in "Devices and printers", there you will see 3 apple devices: 1 Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, iPhone 2, and 3. Apple iPhone.  All three appear when I plugged in my iPhone.

    However, the problem was one that said iPhone really should have said "Apple Mobile Device Ethernet".

    So, how to fix this?

    Open devices and printers-> right click Iphone which should be under "Unscpecified"-> properties-> hardware-> Propterties tab-> change settings-> tab driver-> update driver-> Browse my computer for software Local-> Browse to the directory "C:\Program Files\Common Apple Mobile Device Support".

    Make sure you have the files box to include under verified.

    Who did.  Windows successfully installed the necessary drivers.  Now, I can easily connect to the internet via the USB cable again without any problems.
