storage & icloud usage

Over the course of the last 2-3 months, I kept adding some large files to the Documents folder on my Mac (with the option for the Documents and Desktop being synced via iCloud). I originally figured I'd delete them from there once I don't use them anymore since I don't want to upgrade my iCloud...

Yesterday I upgraded mine and my wife's phones from previous versions of iPhone to iPhone X. Her old phone was 128 gb, the phones I upgraded to are 64. Turns out her current phone is using 70, 50 of which are pictures. I upgraded the icloud storage so all her photos are in icloud, I thought...

Hi guys, I have an iPhone 4 with 32 GB and just received my new 7+. I want to only transfer Whatsapp to the new phone, and leave all the photos, videos, voice notes and all other stuff in the 4 because it still works. Can I transfer some big videos to iCloud for a moment so I can do a Whatsapp...

Hi, My iphone 5s storage was full with zero capacity left. The phone began logging out of all apps including my Apple ID and icloud (my photos were all gone, does this have to do with the fact that I couldnt log on to my Apple ID?) I tried rebooting it and now it wont log on any more. Its stuck...

Hi all, My first post so please be gentle. I have a Macbook Pro (2011 build) with a 2 TB drive which is half full. My good lady decided the the Mac was past its best and went out and purchased a Mackbook Air with 128GB storage as a surprise for me. My broadband is a slow ADSL connection that...

My iCloud Storage is full, and one category (Other Documents) takes 4.5 GB. I've tried all the instructions for opening iCloud drive to see what "other documents" contains so that I can delete it, but I cannot access the contents of this file/folder. How do I (1) see what's in there? and (2) delete?

I have a very large file that is taking up all the room on my other devices (MacBook Air and iPhone). I would like the bookmark folder to be only accessible from my iMac, so that it does not take up all the room on my MacBook air and iPhone. How do I do that?

I have a question regarding iCloud Drive: I have a monthly subscription for 50 GB. When I check my iCloud storage use on my iPhone/MBP it says that I have 26 GB of free space (24 GB used) Having only a 256GB SSD in my MBP, I was looking at the recommendations to remove unnecessary files. Here...

Settings: General: Storage & iCloud Usage: iCloud "Manage Storage": Backups: Next Backup Size... Why does it take hours for my iPhone to determine my "Next Backup Size"for iCloud, and the backup sizes of all my various apps? I understand it should take a little bit of time but it literally...

Hi all. My iPhone has almost reached capacity on storage. I back everything up to icloud. My question is this: If I manually delete some media files on my phone to free up some space, what the hell happens to my icloud storage? Because when an icloud backup next occurs, it's obviously going to...

searched a lot of forums and can't seem to find an answer... Why is my overall iCloud storage used (2.3 of 5 GB) different from what it shows in "Manage Storage" I have an iPhone 6S (10.3.1), iPad Air 2 (10.3.1), and a Mac Air (10.12.4), with the standard 5G of iCloud storage. iCloud storage...

Hi, I'm trying desperately to find room on my 16GB phone. Right now my largest user is Messages at 1.03GB (second largest is Instagram at 426.MB). So in messages settings, I can change how long I keep messages. I'm just trying to figure out if that affects the actual message or simply what's...

I have a confusing problem with my iPhone 6, with iOS 9 on it. It is a 16GB phone and I have always struggled with running out of storage space. In my Storage section is often shows that I have 0 Bytes of space available. Here is the issue. I have been going through text and iMessages and...

Hello all, So I have been contemplating switching on my iCloud Photo Library for the first time to use the space in the cloud (50GB / 23 used by backups which is including my camera roll) and my phone (64GB /500MB free) more efficiently. I have around 22GB of photos on my iPhone right now, I...

Hey there! I'm ready to upgrade my current 27" iMac to the 5k version, but instead of the 3TB fusion drive I was thinking of getting the 1TB flash drive and moving most of my media over to my external hard drive. I currently have a LaCie d2 3TB drive that backs up my entire iMac using time...

Hi, I'm one of those people who regret having bought the 16GB version of iPhone 6. The real 11,6GB is not enough for me. I try to follow all the experts tips to keep the device optimized, but ultimately I'm always running out of space. Right now I'm facing awkward situation: At Settings >...
