My friend 5s IPhone uses a ridiculous amount of storage for photos

My friend iPhone keeps running out of memory (Yes, it's a 5s with 16 gigabytes). The biggest memory hog's Photos, which use 7.1 GB for storage of photos. The problem is, this is a ridiculous amount: there only 30 pictures! (For comparison, my iPhone 6 stores about 2000 pictures in 20 concerts.) What's wrong?

YES, we emptied her folder of deleted Photos. There are 0 bytes used to store the photos removed (30 day cycle) for the moment.

YES, we experimented with removal of a few pictures, then, seeing how much decreases the use of the photo. When we delete 5 pictures, the total storage used down entire concert 0.1, which equals approximately 20 MB per photo, which might be a little on the high side but not much. We are up to 20 photos with 6.8 GB - still, it sounds ridiculous to me.

What else can we? Is there a problem with corruption? Perhaps there is a photo (or photos) that think iOS includes concerts of the space, but seems we like just a normal photo that should take a normal amount of space? It has about 5 photos that he's afraid to delete (even if they are now saved on Google Photos). So let's say we delete the other 15. If, judging by previous data, thereby reducing its use to 6.4 GB, do we take a deep breath and delete others?

If the problem with deleting all the photos, then - Phew! -It can be upgraded to the latest version of iOS and hope that the problem does not recur. But suppose that it ends with zero pictures and the use of the photo of 6 GB storage, or so: what would solve THIS problem?

The only other thing I can think of that MIGHT help the problem is that I'm not sure that it has never updated its version of iOS from one delivered with its 5. It doesn't have a Mac with iTunes to upgrade to the most recent, and of course it lacks the 1.5 GB (or other) he needs to upgrade via WiFi. But why the iOS version would have something to do with it? That makes no sense.

Help! Thank you, in advance, for your help. I'm sorry that I don't have her phone handy to see exactly which version of iOS it is running.

I repeat that Yes, we found the folder deleted photos and deleted the pictures inside. And Yes, it has recharged his cell phone recently.

You have found the folder deleted recently, but you must do this:

1. go to settings > general > Date & time and set the date to 01/09/2014

2. go back to Photos, open the folder deleted recently and see if there is any photo more that should be deleted

3. Once you have complete, date back to automatic and then reset the unit

4. see if the storage has been released

In addition, if your friend has a lot of emails or Messages with videos or photos, or videos in the camera, so those who take up a lot of storage.

And consider that iCloud library is not active?

See you soon,.

  • I have reset 6 and restored iphone using icloud. I can not existing photos of text/email.

    I have reset my iphone 6 and restored using icloud. I was able to recover everything. My question is, I can not existing pictures of text/mail, but if I was taking a new image, I can't text/mail those. My system is iOS9.3.5. Any help?

    A backup includes not pictures. He doesn't understand what is in your film album, which has been restored.

    I guess that all other images have not yet been synchronized from your computer, or downloaded from iCloud photo library, depending on the method that you use.

    My friend has a newer iMac running ElCapitan.

    He has an iPhone 6 and wants to create photo collections on his mac and upload them on his iPhone.

    When he tries the photo library iTunes is grayed out.

    Suggestions?

    Hi Jim Climo,.

    I understand that you are looking for help with synchronization of photos from an iMac to an iPhone, but you see not options for it in iTunes. I know it's nice to have your photos updated on all your devices, so I'm happy to provide advice to help with this.

    From what you described, your friend might consider using iCloud photo library, allowing photos stay up to date on all the devices that made possible it. You can learn more about this service here:

    iCloud photo library - Apple Support

    Otherwise, this article provides help with synchronization manually your photos:

  • What iPhone use in Taiwan

    Hey guys I just ordered pre an iPhone Verizon 7 more on the apple for me as a site upgrade, but I want to also buy another phone unlocked so that my girlfriend can use in Taiwan (she lives there). I was wondering if I should buy another iPhone Verizon 7 more for it or should I get an unlocked AT & T phone? What model of iPhone 7 will work in Taiwan? She is with the carrier Chunghwa. Thank you!!

    I don't know all of the devices are unlocked if you pay in full. You can buy any model (Verizon, Sprint, AT & T or T-Mobile). Take a look at the following list for LTE compatibility:

  • You can print with a 6s iPhone using a printer no Wifi

    How do you print with a 6s iPhone using the printer no WiFi?

    Hey,.

    I always got WiFi printers in my house and never had to deal with this problem personally, but the following CNET article seems to answer this question:

    http://www.CNET.com/how-to/how-to-print-wirelessly-from-your-iPhone-iPad-or-iPod - touch.

    My printer is a HP OfficeJet 7500 E910, which allows me to print from any wireless device and my printer is plugged only the power source.

    Also, I did not read the entire article carefully, but I would venture to say that if you have a cable to connect your printer to your wireless router, it should appear as a network printer. If your iPhone is connected to the same wireless network as the router is mounted, you should have this success. It would still be printing wireless from your iPhone, but just a different configuration.

    Hope this helps, and feel free to respond with thoughts or questions!

    Thank you

  • Why my iPhone has a capacity lower than my iPad when they have the same amount of storage?

    Why my iPhone has less capacity (storage wise) than my iPad when they both have the same amount of storage?  My pictures takes up to 7.2 GB on my iPhone with only 700 pictures & my iPad takes up to 4.0 GB with more than 1,000?

    Check the settings of your devices to the settings > Photos & camera > iCloud photo library > do you both value library optimized? If NOT, this is your answer. If YES, then the size of the local library is adjusted based how much space you have, if you change or display more than full resolution images on a device, than another, on what device the photos were taken, etc.

  • I use my iPhone 6 very often to my office for phone calls.  This will help overall battery life to stay connected as I have all these phone calls?

    I use my iPhone 6 very often to my office for phone calls.  This is my work phone.

    This will help life battery together if I keep the phone plugged in my phone calls?

    Thank you

    SUSE, you can use it while connected and in this way when you unplug to get somewhere, you know you will have a fully updated beautiful upgraded battery.

    Just don't leave it plugged constantly all the time — weeks or months.  A battery lithium needs periodically some running through it.  But certainly leave it plugged during the day of the company while using it, or even just for long calls will do no harm.

    Battery life is determined by the cycles, so if this reduces the rate of your phone through equivalent full charge and discharge cycles it can not hurt self-help (depending on how you use it, it cannot help battery life much either, but it probably won't hurt it).

  • Firefox 4 causes my toolbar of the window to freeze! It also uses a huge amount of memory, 220 000. more than any other program.

    Since the update to Firefox 4 my Windows toolbar crashes after a few minutes. Firefox also uses a huge amount of memory. More than any other program and I have a lot of powerful programs. This time 222 000. More than any other program. Critical problem.

    I am glad that you are making progress. With all the Firefox test gets I was optimistic, such a problem could not escaped, and that the problem is more likely to be on your own computer.

    P. S.

    Note there is also a bug not fixed in Firefox, causing several plugincontainer.exe to launch even for disabled plugins turned off cookies (or history).

    Why can't I access a book that I just bought my iPhone using iBooks on my MacBook Pro using iBooks?

    Perhaps one of the main reasons is that the Apple ID, I used on my iPhone is different from the AppleID that I use on my MacBook Pro.

    But when I went to add that Apple ID for my 'family' I get the message that the 2nd "" Apple ID is already part of the family.

    Any ideas how to make this happen?

    You need to get them on the same Apple ID choose one registered with the family and change it on the computer or device that has different ID.

  • iPhone used 6 4 MB of data in 30 seconds

    My phone uses a large AMOUNT of data very quickly.

    I have "Cellular data" off at anytime and use wifi when available. I also have all my apps toggled off for data. Automatic downloads are at large, and in "iTunes & App Store," use data cell is also disabled also. " At the suggestion of Apple telephone support, I have upgraded to iOS 9.2.1.

    I was away from wifi and wanted to send two emails. I turned on "Cellular data", switched to "Mail" and sent emails. I also downloaded a dozen emails. I then turned off Mail and cellular data. It was used for about 30 seconds, and the use of cellular data for the current year has increased to 4 MB. The emails were not attached-heavy piece.

    Is there something that could be using the data that I'm not aware of, or it could be a problem in the phone?

    Thank you very much

    David

    4MB is a negligible amount of data.
