I cloud storage full

silverlining48

I think I will need to replace my payg iPhone SE, 5. It’s very old, and is limping along. I don’t want or need a new one and am happy with a newer old one. Someone in a shop I went into suggested a 10 £180, or should I go fir a bit newer than that. An 11 or the next one if they are better models, anyone have any thoughts on this? I really don’t have a clue.

There have been three versions of the SE released 2016, 2020 and 2022. The SE is good if you like a small phone.

Mine's a 2016 purchased in 2017 and is still going strong. I had a new battery put in about six months ago for about £30 including labour. That's the only attention it has needed in six years and it gets a lot of use.

You can pick up reconditioned 2020s for under £150.00 and reconditioned 2022s for around £250.

Money Supermarket published this very favourable review of the 2022 SE:

Silverlining48 - check your storage through Settings as above, and see what is taking up all the room. You can always delete photos just from the iPhone, whilst keeping them all in the cloud still (ie external storage). You will be able to access all your photos from the cloud any time you have internet access

I'm going to sound pretty dim here but hiw do you access things stored in the cloud? It's a mystery to me

I’m dim, too. It’s all beyond me. However, when my pad died on me earlier this year my new iPad was able to retrieve everything that was on it because it was on the cloud! It seemed to do it all by itself, thankfully!

Maybe am in the same position as you but despite paying 99 fir cloud still keep he tying messages my phone is full. I just have emails and photos. No music games videos or anything else.

It went up a few months ago from 79p to 99p for enough room to fit a herd of elephants in

Do you not just synch from Apple Music?

In the Music app on your Mac, choose Music > Settings, click General, then select the Sync Library tickbox. If you don't see this option, sign in to Apple Music using your Apple ID. You must be an Apple Music subscriber to access your music on your other devices using Sync Library.

Then you can delete the track from your device and then download from the cloud when you want to listen.

Try with one track see if it works?

Yes, I do subscribe, and that is exactly what I want to do. But what I don't know is how to do it .

I would like to store all my music in the Cloud to free up space on my phone, and so it is safely stored even though I can play most of it through Apple Music. In the past, when I have deleted a track or album it is gone from everywhere.

Doodledog Do you subscribe to Apple Music? This:

If you subscribe to Apple Music or iTunes Match, you can store all of your music in your iCloud Music Library, including songs you imported from CDs and purchased from places other than the iTunes Store. You can play those songs on any of your computers or devices whenever you want.

To download any item from your iCloud Music Library to your computer, click the item’s iCloud Download button . To view only your downloaded items, click Downloaded in the sidebar on the left.

Any good?

^In this article, we show how to delete the music on your iPhone or iPad and explain how you can still access the tracks without storing them on your device.^

That will only keep access to tunes that were bought from Apple, and what I want to keep is the copies of my own CDs, which are saved onto the hard drive, so I'm no further forward, I'm afraid. I want to move them to the Cloud and stream from Apple Music, but have access to my own music at some point.

No idea how Apple works, but normally if you click on "delete" you should be asked where you want to delete it from.

I have an old iPhone SE on pay as you go. I pay 99 p for cloud storage.
I don’t have music video or games etc only photos yet despite deleting lots of photos I keep getting messages saying my phone is full. Now starting not to be able to use it at all as no access. Even to GN.

I suppose I need a new phone but am reluctant as hardly use it.

Any tech advice gratefully accepted, thanks

Yes Maybee I have extra storage and I pay a small monthly charge for it. I think it’s about 79 pence per month.

Thank you! I will have a proper look tomorrow and give it a go.

Does anyone know whether if I delete music from my phone, it will be removed from iCloud, or can I store it on there separately, please?

Just checked and I pay 99p not 79p that’s for 50 GB of storage .

Yes Apple let’s me know every month they have taken 79p and I have 50gbites of storage

Oh well it sounds like you do need some more storage then & it is probably genuine - I certainly pay for extra on my Mac. I’d still go onto your Apple account & set it up from there yourself though, rather than following any links , but maybe that’s just me being extra cautious!

I’m going to do it through settings.

If you already pay for Amazon Prime there is unlimited cloud storage included in the subscription.

Ooh, do check it's not a scam message first MayBee, & don't click on anything within the message...I keep getting emails about this & they're fake. Check whether you have actually run out of iCloud storage by going to your Settings....General....iPad storage &
that will tell you whether it's full or not

Thanks for that. I’ve looked in settings and it is almost full. When my last iPad broke last year I*was able to transfer everything onto my new iPad. It made me realise how dependent I am on it. I do try to delete emails but I get so many of them. It’s my fault for subscribing to any discounts I see!

Is there a way to save your photos and music on the cloud instead of your phone without losing it? I have a lot of 'hard copy' music on what used to be iTunes (ie saved from my own CDs) and don't want to lose it, as it took ages to upload it all in the first place. TBH, I usually stream from Apple Music, but I want to keep a digital copy of my own music. That, along with my photos, now takes up well over 32G, and my phone is starting to groan. I do have iCloud storage, and would be happy to move it to that if I could free up space on my phone, but I also use a MacBook and iPad, and everything synchs because it is all on the same network.

Yes I pay 79p a month ,and you can check on your storage as the poster above said in setting.
