  • iPhone storage problems

    Hello, I have storage problems with my iPhone 6. I have the 16 GB model and it seems to be showing me that I used more storage than I actually have. Under the management of storage in the settings section it says I used 11.6 GB and have 83.1 MB of available space. However when I add up the use of the storage for each application he ads only up to about 2.5 GB. In addition, on iTunes on my MacBook, it shows that I have 6.65 GB free. I tired delete apps and optimize Photos stroage and elimination of most local music from the phone. It was me that more sotrage space however when I checked later return that he had exhausted more storage without having downloaded me all the apps, photos, or music.

    iTunes and iOS do not display the use of storage the same way. The best way to ensure that the iPhone is deleted unnecessary files, including video streaming, old app data, etc., is to perform a restore. Make sure that the backup you make in iTunes is encrypted, so all of your critical data is kept. Import all your photos, music, too.

  • iPhone storage problems 6

    In the last two days, I get alerts non-stop from my iPhone saying I don't have enough storage space.

    My camera and WhatsApp are blocked

    Even if I deleted a lot of apps, deleted all my photos (including the deleted items) and archived most of my conversations of WhatsApp.

    I synced my iPhone and installed the new version of the software - so everything is clean and up-to-date

    Always - the problem persists and there is storage problems.

    Until two days ago, there was no problem and I got a lot of data on the phone - now I have half of the size of the data and the phone is full and stuck.

    It seems a bug or something because it makes no sense... Two of my friends have the same problem!

    What can I do and how can it be solved?

    Help, please!

  • iPhone 6 How to erase pictures off bot phone not cloud... storage problem

    How to delete all my photos my phone is turned off, but NOT out of the cloud... I have an iPhone 6 and have storage problems?

    It's complicated because if you have iCloud photo library, then no matter what in iCloud will always be visible and taking place on your phone.

    The best option is to choose the option 'OPTIMIZE the PHOTOS' in the settings Photos & the phone camera.

    This will keep a smaller version of the photo on your phone with the full version on iCloud.

    If you already have the option optimize running and you are still low on space, so the only thing to do is to delete some that are sitting in iCloud. It will then take even the version optimized on the phone.

  • storage problem

    I have problem with storage on my Iphone 5 c. I know that ios app takes 3 gbs of him (8 GB of storage), but here's a thing. Arrival of the last update I had like 1.5 GB available. Now, I have this problem (using 4.62 GB) with app which all is 2gbslike

    Hello StereoBeatz96,

    Please ask questions on your iPhone storage here in Apple Support communities. I understand how it is important to have space on my iPhone. I'll be happy to arrange things for you to check.

    The first thing we want to make sure that all of your data on your device is safe. You can perform a backup in iCloud or iTunes using this article: backing up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

    Once we know that your data is safe, please open this help article: how OS X and iOS report of storage capacity. He's going on how iOS reports the storage on your device. This second article of aid will help you check which is exactly using your data: check the storage on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.

    Finally, you can use this help article to manually make space: If you need more space for an update of iOS. I know it says for an update, but the steps are the same, and information on specific apps that allow you to erase parts of the data, not requiring only not the whole application to remove all the relevant. With iOS 10 comes the new option to remove the built-in apps that you never use. See this help article: delete the apps Apple integrated from the home screen on your device iOS with iOS 10.

    Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.

  • iCloud-storage problem

    I bought 50 GB of storage ICloud on a monthly basis. The amount has been charged to my bank account, but I have not been given to the storage.

  • iPad Mini storage problem

    On my iPad Mini, (first generation) under settings > general > storage & use iCloud > storage

    It shows that I used 11.7 GB and available 723 MB.  If I check the option of storage management, the

    total storage used by applications is total less than 1 GB.

    When I sync my iPad Mini with my Macbook (backup) synchronization page shows that the iPad has

    Used 738 MB and 11.3 GB available.  (which is more in line with the storage / app list).

    So why the difference between the used displayed rise up on the iPad and the actual amount of used storage?

    Making a full backup and closing, remains the "error".  Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  • Full storage problems

    My iPhone 6 s guard advising me these last two days that my storage is almost full. With a threat to lock me up on whatsapp (that must be running at least 100 MB), I decided to delete the photos, applications etc off the coast (including the deletion of recently deleted photo and video album). Now, I've deleted almost every thing off my phone, including those that I have used before and my storage space is still telling me that I am using 11.4 GB of space, when before you delete it told me that I was using only 11.0 GB of space. Yesterday I backed up everything to iCloud and reset the content and settings when she returned on storage showed I was using only 3.2.GB my 16 GB phone. But today, I am faced with the same question that my storage is returned up to 11.4 GB without me to add photos, videos or apps on the phone at night. Does anyone else have this problem, how do solve you this problem, is something to do with Apple? Year last December when I bought the phone, I lost a lot of contacts via backup and now this iCloud. What the * happens?

    Suggest you remove WhatsApp, it poses many problems of storage for many users. The last update has a bug and WhapsApp has yet to fix it. Do not re-install it until it is resolved. Good luck.

  • iCloud storage problems. won't let me put more files, even though it says I have 180 GB of available

    Help!

    Try to clean the files from my external hard drive and the Mac and put on iCloud in order to free up space. But, iCloud repeat that it cannot transfer files because there is not enough space. But when I check the info it says I still have over 180 GB of storage space... I want to only 130GB of transfer in iCloud. Why won't it let me?

    anyone else has this problem or has fixed this or give me any advice for me. can not finish my projects for work until I have free space. Super frustrating!

    A = soon)

    Not sure if you're aware but iCloud is mainly designed for the synchronization of data between devices and not as a cloud storage location only. If you have iCloud drive turned on in your Mac and you then attempt to move 130GB of an external hard drive to iCloud, it will automatically also an attempt of placement than 130 GB as a local copy on your Mac (use the menu go to Finder > iCloud drive to access the local copy).

  • Data storage problems iOS iPhone 5s 9

    Hello world

    I got this really annoying bug for awhile now (a few months, but it is omnipresent in the last 3 weeks) where my iPhone simply does not know the amount of storage it a. I have a 5 iPhone with 16 GB of space running on iOS 9. Keep saying it is short of space, but every time I release some (by deleting the photos, applications, etc.) it keeps charging right back upward. This moment I had released up to 200 MB, 20 minutes, it's back to 0 without me getting it. As a result, the entire contents of my iCloud is either eliminated or is not editable from my iPhone (Notes, calendars, etc.) and most of my apps crash, don't work or outright any bug (Messages always appear as send when they have actually been sent, Facebook and Messenger keep crashing my games does not work, I can't take pictures) etc.). I guess that's the reaction natural iPhone to be low on storage space, but thing is that I was not filling up... took photos in nearly a month, etc. So before I go and do a hard restore and backup (iCloud is not backup up more--> whenever I have it try it just says: backup could not be completed), I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to what could happen and what can I do to solve this problem. Look for me for a while now, and if it it does not work, I'm switching to Android, with this simpler operating system. So if anyone has any ideas, feel free to share.

    Thank you!

    Tristan

    There are several reasons, this could happen - backup corrupt, rogue app, bad USB cable for syncing to iTunes, etc.  If you sync with iTunes, watch space 'other '.  If it is greater than about 2 GB, you can have one of these problems.  The common solution is:

  • storage problem iPad Pro - is there a fault?

    I have a new iPad 32 GB Pro who claims to have 26.3 GB of usable storage. However, I'm running out of storage already and I do not see why. Depending on the settings > storage my Apps (including software) amounts to 2.2 GB. I have no music, no video and very few photos. I also deleted the cache of Safari and Messages to see if this is the problem but still have no idea why I'm running out of storage. I have less memory than my old 16 GB iPad 3! Any ideas?

    A 32 GB iPad was initially about 28 GB of usable storage after formatting, installation of iOS and all pre-installed applications.

    In addition, subtract your 2 GB of your data and you have remaining 26 GB of free storage space.
