IPhone 4 :: Can't Download Anything Because Always Says Storage Is Full
Sep 1, 2014
iPhone 4has been acting really strange within the past few days. I can't download anything anymore because it always says the storage is full, even when it isn't. It even says in the about section that I have 3 GB of space available. I can't take photos either., but I can with instagram for some reason. its how my phone iis contradicting itself yet still doesn't let me do what I want. And believe me I only have like 5 small apps and songs. I clear all my messages and everything. i also tried restarting several times and resetting network data
my iphone was synced on another library soi tried to backup the files but i had no space on disk so i changed the disk location from prefrences but then i got the same msg again , now i have no disk space and no backup files plus i can't delete the files because i have no idea where they are , what to do to free some space on disk now ? !!
My phone is giving me messages that I have no more storage although it should have 16GB capacity. I have a modest amount of music and 40 photos. How can I find out where all the storage has gone to?
I've done just about everything I can think of... Soft reset, hard reset, deleted all but 21 pics, and only 11 apps left. No music, no videos, and yet i still get the message "storage almost full". Even after deleting a 395MB app, it still says Storage almost full. And to add insult to injury, after the last soft reset, when I access mail, it downloads all messages from the server, then shuts mail down. When I open it again, the same thing.Â
I keep deleting apps and it keeps giving me the message that my storage is almost full. I have gone through and deleted everything I can think of besides my pictures and music but it isn't changing anything.
I already deactivated the storage I just want a full refund for the storage that I purchased and did not use. When I try and call apple they want me to pay for an answer.
- My wife and I both have the iPhone 4S 16GB and we also have an IPod 2 32GB.
- My iPhone and our iPad both have the most recent iOS updates
- My wife and I share an iTunes account
- We have an iTunes Match subscription and are currently right around the 25,000 song limit. My iPhone and our iPad are the only devices with iTunes Match enabled thoughÂ
Problem:Â
I recently managed to convince my wife to update to iOS 7 and have all the latest updates as well. It seems that ever since then we've been getting a "Storage almost full" message on all of our devices. Â
I restored both of our phones to factory recently so there's literally nothing on them except for a few pictures now and some apps. The iPad has nothing on it except for iCloud pictures and some music.Â
The Storage almost full message does go away if we restart the afflicted device.Â
I just purchased the new iPhone 6 16GB.upgrade jump T-mobile not paid in full $700.Nevertheless, why do I keeping getting a message about storage full? And it says...Go to setting and manage storage with iCloud. I have deleted most of the app, photo, and just about everything else, and still keep getting this message. It's almost as if I will be paying additional 3.99-19.99 a month to manage the icloud for apps that I already had. Perhaps this is the gimmicks to order the 64GB iPhone 6. In fact, the 64GB is offered as an upgrade to new or additional line customers. Come On give us a break for the loyal customers Geezh!!
Plus can't even upgrade software update to iOS8.1.1 because there is not enough storage. What sense does that make to even upgrade to the new iPhone 6
iPhone 5s 16GB storage is full (12.9 GB used).Newer software will not update, Google Voice crashed-- is now gone--and callers cannot leave voicemail, they get a message that my number "cannot be connected; try again." Safari frequently drops me/closes. I am trying so hard not to be frustrated...iOS version 7.0.4 (11B554a), [HW Model: iPhone6, 1], iOS version 7.1.2 will not update. iCloud Total Storage is 25.0 GB with 15.4GB available (iPhone backup is 8.5 GB and iPad mini backup is 1.1 GB, so Total Backups is 9.6GB. I thought buying iCloud data would fix the issue, but it only seems relevant to backups.Yes, this is my 1st iPhone, & iPad, ...the learning curve feels massive compared to my other smartphones. I don't have any music stored or videos because of the storage problem...I am used to using data cards to go back and forth physically from phone to camera to laptop (nonApple obviously), so I am perplexed on how difficult it is to add phone storage; there are no SD card slots, i.e.
storage full message appears on my iphone 5 while I have 20gb free on my ICLOUD,
I deleted all my pictures,a lot of apps and it still appears and it sayS to manage my storage on settings to buy more space ,what do I have to do?
I used to have a lot of pictures and a lot of app,I deleted most of it and the message still appears and alway says to buy more storage as I still have 20gb free.
Never seen this error before... "could not back up - storage full"Â ...
The following items (seems to be "applications") could not be backed up ... Â I dont think it is backing up to my phone (which has 16gb of the phone empty and 46gb of the sd card empty) but there is no way to see what is backed up "via wifi only" to where...
I'm using Galaxy S6 edge (SM-G25F) and I'm trying to move an app to system but it says system storage is full. I have been searching for a while but couldn't find any solution, every search result take to "how to free up internal storage" but what i need is to free up system storage. My device is rooted and my storages reads as:
Root: 1.57MB free of 3.53GB
Internal storage: 2.8GB free of 25.31GB
So the one I need to free up is root as i need to move an app to system and its not possible if its full.
P.S: i didnt install any apps in system or I would have deleted or moved them to internal storage. I dont even know what taking up all this space.
I've encountered with my Xoom FE.I have no pictures, music, or videos at all on the device - only apps.I added up the total of every single app including data and cache and it only takes up a small fraction of the devices storage.when I checked the storage in the settings, it says I only have 4.15GB of the available space and that my apps are taking up 7.28GB.There is just no way I can see how that is possible.I should have the majority of the available space left.I could do a factory reset but that would bite.Is there anything I'm missing that I can try to figure out why it's showing up so much app space?Even with the caches and data cleared, it doesn't help.Also, I have a few downloads in there but they take up very few MBs much less a GB.
One other thing I have nearly the exact same apps with ebooks and a few games on my Galaxy Nexus and my older and smaller but trusty HTC Flyer tab.They both show my apps taking up a fraction of the space that my Xoom FE does.I use AndroZip Pro as a file manager and it shows the same thing so something is up.
I have iPhone 4gs that has updated to the latest software. Now when I try to update my apps, a popup window says "Cannot download There is not enough available storage to download these items. You can manage your storage in settings." Ok . . . When I go to Settings--General--Usage--Storage, it says I have 24.4 GB used and 4.1 GB available. This seems like plenty to update 18 apps. And in iCloud I have total storage of 25.0 GB, available 24.9 GB.
As I was texting, a message popped up stating that my phone storage was full. I stopped and checked the storage and memory space to see that they were perfectly fine. I went back to send another text and the message popped up again, the message didn't send and when I tried to access my texting again, it force closed until I rebooted the phone. I am using the stock messaging app, but a different home launcher. I have not previously had problems with this in the past using this same launcher, and only had 38 conversations going (all with only a few texts in each). Does any have any idea as to the reason for this and how I could solve this issue?
I have an OTG cable and it was my understanding that although this wouldn't give me full "mass storage" it would at least allow me to access media on an attached USB flash drive? Have I missed something?I have File Station and am not rooted

Purchased storage space because iPhone said I was to low. It directed me to iCloud where I purchased more space. Tried to download and upgrade and it still said I'm to low. How do I get my iphone4 to use the storage space?
I woke up this morning and i found out that mail for exchange is unable to get new emails because my user storage is full. I only have about 15 emails in my inbox and yet it is unable to check for new emails and it tells me synchronization failed. So I checked the phone memory and i only have 116.5 MB for installable applications and 18 GB for phone memory. i dont understand why i only have 116.5 Mb for my installable applications i only have about 60 applications and each is only a couply of KBs from the extras repo and from ovi and nothing from extras testing or devel. i have a couple of TV shows and movies. so what could be causing this and is there a way to exactly find out why i am low on memory and fix it. i am able to get email for my gmail account and aol account.
I'm trying to work on my IPhone as use to do on my Blackberry but I'm very frustrated , many important messages are " partially downloaded " and I can't see them , I have tried to download again many time without any success , why ? What is the problem and why such futuristic device fail to deliver on what is the most important tools we have today " emails " , of I don't get this problem away I must go back to the old device?
I have a UK orange freeserve e-mail account which downloads on my PC with Outlook Express.I have connected up my I phone 4s to the freeserve account , but when the e-mail downloads to the phone, it does not download the full body content. I do get the title of the message but nothing else.
So suddenly when I was trying to download some stuff, I keep getting this reminder. At first, I just deleted some apps and files, and I still have around 15 gigs left. But this notification keeps showing up! I tried the odex and clearing dalvik cache methods, but nothing had been working for me.
When I try to install software updates, the progress bar is stuck at 0%. I also can't install apps, which are stuck on 0.1mb. I was on build .0 and hard restetted, still same issue. I used the recovery tool to go to 1511 still same issue. I also got an "not enough storage" message although there is nothing installed on the phone.
