Ended the place on iPhone what to do. How to "iPhone" clear memory: tips

If you encountered the problem of an acute shortage of memory in your iPhone, then you came to the address. In today's article I will tell where the memory of the iPhone disappears. As well as I will describe the most the best way, how to free up iPhone memory. Moreover this method Suitable for any iPhone model.

Typical situation: You want to take a photo on iPhone, and a message appears on the screen: " Could not take a picture. For shooting photo is not enough memory”.

You go to "Settings" - "Basic" - "On this device" and see that the available memory is 0 MB (or a little more).

After that, you throw off all your pictures and video from iPhone to the computer (or originally keep them in the cloud). It helps to free a little memory, but quite briefly. After a short time, there is no free memory again.

If you have already tried (photos removed, the applications were removed, the smartphone was rebooted), but there is no free space and you can not understand " where does the memory disappear from iPhone?"- read further.

A lot of place in the memory of our iPhone occupy the so-called cache files .

You will probably look on your video clips, listen to music, watch photos in various applications. These data are stored as cached files on the iPhone.

Most effective method Release a place on iPhone - this is using iTunes program to roll back the iPhone to the "factory state", and then make a recovery from the backup.

As a result of this operation, the size decreases folders "Other" (visible only through iTunes). The most different information is copied in this folder: first of all - it is cache filesI spoke above; as well as short-lived files; Files remaining after failed or unfinished synchronization with iTunes; Application failure reports, etc.

iTunes refers cached music, video and photos to the category "Other", and does not add them to folders with songs, video files and pictures.

Because Cache files are not included in the backup of the device - therefore, the recovery from the backup via iTunes frees the place in the "Other" folder on the iPhone.

I will describe this method in more detail:

Download and install the program on your computer iTunes.. If you have already installed, then update it to the latest version.

Launch iTunes..

Take your iPhone - go to it in "Settings" - "ICLOUD" - Disable the option " Find iPhone"(This will require you to enter your Apple ID password):
If this is not done, you will not be able to restore the iPhone from the backup via iTunes - this error will appear:

Now connect the iPhone to the computer using a USB cable.

Wait until iTunes "sees" your iPhone. Then click on the top panel on the device icon:

First we need create backup:

Being on the "Overview" tab (it is left), make sure that the "Backup" section is in the position " This computer"- then click on the right button" Create a copy now”.

Wait until the copy is made - the time of its creation will appear at the bottom.

Now we need.

To do this, immediately press the button " Restore iPhone”.
In the window that appears, also click "Restore":

We wait until iTunes restores the software on the iPhone - do not touch anything.

After 15 minutes, a message appeared on the computer screen:

I did everything as it was written in it: I disconnected an iPhone from the computer, I clicked "Unlock" on the smartphone screen and entered the PIN code for its SIM card. Then I again connected an iPhone to a computer.

After a few seconds, a window appeared on the computer screen with a proposal. restore all information from the backup . It is necessary for me: I left the marker in the default position and pressed the "Continue" button:

10 minutes took the iPhone recovery process from the backup:

As a result, the section was cleaned on iPhone Other"And I have freed as much as 3.2 GB of memory! I decided to periodically release the memory on the iPhone in the future in such a way - in my opinion, it is the most optimal and effective.

Although modern smartphones iPhone I. tablets iPad. Have a large amount of permanent memory, sooner or later, but most of their owners face a lack of free space on the device. Especially disappointing when it is necessary to download or save something very important on the phone and here, as I called, Inef writes "There is almost no place".

What to do in this case? The answer is simple - remove unnecessary. Many users are inappropriately thrown "in all serious", removing everything in a row. Often, this ends in deplorable because it can get caught under the hot hand system files Or just something important for you.
In this article, I want to tell how to free the memory on an iPhone without a risk to delete anything you need or in general to outline the operating system on your iPhone and iPad.

1. Total browser cleaning Safari

The very first thing, where to start liberation memory iPhone - This is a web browser. In some cases, he is bloated as an inflatable ball.
Let's start with cleaning the cache safari, cookie and deleting temporary files. To do this, go to the settings of the mobile gadget and find the section Safari.:

Once to pose, find item Clear history and data sites.

After that, go to section "Optional" \u003e\u003e "Data" Sites:

Click on the "Delete All Data" button to delete all the saved information about sites and thereby at least a little, but free up the memory on the iPhone.

Do not forget about a separate function "offline list", which serves to postpone reading pages in Safari and thus also takes space in ROM. Moreover, sometimes engaged in this volume can reach a gigabyte and even more.

In order to clear it, go to the "Settings" section \u003e\u003e "Main" \u003e\u003e "Statistics" \u003e\u003e »Warehouses» \u003e\u003e Safari ». Here you need to tap the "Delete" button to completely demolish the whole offline list. Keep in mind that cache cleaning will not entail the removal of objects from the list to read.

2. Search for unnecessary applications

Those who are interested in various games on a mobile phone or tablet, memory is often clogged with old games that are not used long on, and they forgot them to remove them. To fix it and clear your free space on the iPhone and iPad - open the "settings" \u003e\u003e "Main" \u003e\u003e "Statistics" \u003e\u003e "Storage":

Here you will see sorted by memory as a memory list of applications. Choose those of them that are not needed and not used by you and delete:

Just as an option, you can try to fully reinstall and "heavy" applications that you use. The fact is that to roll back in case of a failure, they can in parallel with actual version Preserving and previous, outdated versions, which also occupy the disk space you need. Reinstalling simply remove all unnecessary. After that, your iPhone most likely will no longer write "places almost no".

3. Proper ICLOUD setup

In the operating system, everything is closely tied to the corporate service from Apple, which is called icloud. Here and cloud storage, and streaming broadcasting audio and video content, and backup information and much more. His proper setting And use will allow you to free up memory on the iPhone under the necessary data. So what needs to be done?!

- Turn on the ICloud media. Meaning of work this service Gives users the ability to synchronize all its multimedia content with cloud storage of EPL. Turning it on, you can unload all your photos and videos into the cloud in full, deleting from your iPhone or iPad. This is done in the "Settings" section \u003e\u003e «ICLOUD» \u003e\u003e "Photos":

We set the ICloud Mediamatka to "On" and remove the "Saving Original" checkbox.

By the way, after that it is better to listen to music in streaming through aiklaud, and the tracks themselves cannot be stored in the phone and simply remove. The iPhone is able to take podcasts loaded in iTunes content. Also, I would recommend connecting some kind of streaming service. Very good in this sense, Yandex.Music service.

- Turn off photo stream. In the apple devices there is one very interesting and most users absolutely unnecessary feature, which is called "Photostream". This album is created by the Aiklaud service. All photos from the "Photoplining" album are automatically copied to it. This is done in order to automatically unload new photos to the cloud so that they are available on other iPhones and iPads connected to this account.

Do you need it? Most users of this function do not even guess while it actively dismisses the place in the Gadget ROM. To disable photo thoughts - Slide in the "Settings" \u003e\u003e "icloud" \u003e\u003e »Photo» The corresponding switch to the "Off" position.

4. Update operating system

Do not forget to update the IOS operating system to the last and relevant version.

The fact is that in updates, as a rule, the old bugs about the flaws are corrected. Including related and using the permanent memory of the smartphone. In addition, in recent versions The developers have significantly improved the performance of the iOS and the stability of its work on the iPhone 4, 5 and 5s. Check availability and availability new version OS can be in the section "Settings" \u003e\u003e »Main" \u003e\u003e "software updates."

5. Clearing iPhone memory using third-party utilities

Honestly, now in the AppStore store full-fully programs offering iPhone optimization, allowing you to speed up its operation and clean the device's memory. More than half of them do not bring any positive effect. From myself, I can recommend a couple of successful programs.
First - app PhoneExpander.

It can perfectly clean the tracks of the programs, removing their temporary files on the iPhone, iPad and even on the media player iPod Touch.. In addition, the utility can remove unnecessary applications, video and music.

Very often, many iPhone owners make screenshots. These pictures, though small in size (on average, 200-300 kb.), But they accumulate a lot and the volume occupied in memory is very much increasing. You can, of course, climb the storage yourself and look for all similar pictures. But there is more fast way Clean the memory on iPhone from such unnecessary images - use the utility Screeny..

It is specifically designed to search and remove screenshots on apple devices. It scatters all the pictures on the machine and give the predictable size of free space. If everything suits you - click on the "Delete" button and see the result!

Shot on the iPhone and iPad photos and videos occupy on devices great amount free space. If you need more memory, it is not necessary to resort to removal of content or moving to other media. With the help of the iCloud media library, you can store photos and videos in the cloud, configuring automatic optimization data on the IOS itself.

How to enable content storage optimization for liboud library

The iCloud media library automatically unloads your pictures to a cloud storage, allowing you to access it at any time and from any device. Storage Optimization is a useful option that replaces photos and video in the original resolution to optimized versions if the memory on the device ends. The file in full resolution is quickly loaded, if you need to see it, edit or send it to the social network. To enable this option, follow these steps:

1. Open the setting application.

2. Select the Photo and Camera section.

3. Mark the "Storage Optimization on Device" item.

After activating this option, the system will automatically move the original versions of files in ICloud, leaving full-size only newly filtered photos and videos. The process may take a long time, depending on the number of files and the speed of the connection.

How to free a place in iCloud

The overall size of files that can be stored in iCloud is not implanious, and you have several options to free the place.

Option A: Clear photoobibo

Browse the albums in which selfie, panorama, screenshots or videos in slow motion can be stored. Perhaps among them there are those that can be deleted. Important note: You can not delete files only from iCloud or only from the device: if you delete them to the iPhone, they will disappear from everywhere.

After removing unnecessary snapshots and rollers, do not forget to visit the section recently deleted and clean it. Otherwise, the files will still be stored on the device, occupying free memory within 30 days.

Option b: buy additional space In ICloud.

If you do not want to think about storing your photos and videos and you are ready to pay for a place in a cloud storage, you can increase the amount of available space in your ICloud library. Currently, the price of additional space in iCloud is as follows:

  • 5 GB - free
  • 50 GB - 59 rubles / month
  • 200 GB - 149 rubles / month
  • 1 TB - 599 rubles / month

Change tariff plan Or cancel its action can be at any time.

ICLOUD repository is quite reliable way Save your content in a reliable place. Apple is responsible for storing all these user data. But without following the completion of the ICloud storage, you can encounter a lack of free space in ICloud.

About the population of ICloud repository

Judge for yourself: You, say, bought iPhone 6s, brought an account in ICloud when activation iPhone - The company gives you 5 GB of free space on one of the ICloud servers.

By default, the gadget is configured to automatically synchronize with the server icloud.com - when screen iPhone or iPad blocked, and the device itself is connected to any known wi-Fi networkwhich has access to the Internet, and the device is recharged, it, using an unoccupied throughput This Internet channel, when detecting differences, copies the files there and back until these differences are eliminated. As a result, it turns out a fresh, updated copy of all data owner iPhone.. Under the loss, the "moving" of the host on another iPhone or iPad while saving the current account of ICloud all data can be restored from this "cloud" copy. Agree, the thing is very comfortable!

What to do and how to clean the space with any of the Apple devices

Different backups managed from any gadget. All of them, combined, occupy 5 GB. Often, ICloud space is quickly "clogged." All that is 5 GB, can be recovered. And if the owner is unproved - Apple "freezes" the remaining files that did not fit into these 5 GBs, and access to the payment of a paid place on IClOUD is impossible. To do this, you need to optimize your backup without downloading extra on the ICLOUD. Also keep your files and settings on the PC, in external media or on other clouds, where there will be more free gigabytes.

Modern iPhone and iPad gadgets have a built-in memory from 64 GB - 5 GB is invariably on the icloud. To start the second account with one iPhone or iPad will not be possible - Apple has fencing the ICloud service from fraudulent schemes from users. Want more - pay!

How to manage the storage

It can be "cleaned" online, freeing the "faded" not necessary place in ICloud. Perform the following steps.

Management ICloud with iPhone

  1. Open the iPhone Settings menu.
  2. Enter the ICLOUD storage settings.

  7. Next to each file name from a backup copy, a minus button will appear ("Delete" command).
  8. Removing requires confirmation - this is the border of protection against accidental erase of saved files.

During the entire cleaning process, you are accompanied by an ICLOUD storage unit.

Timely audit of content in ICloud will help you in case of a lack of free space.

ICloud Backup Revision with iPad and iPod

Receptions of iCloud navigation on iPad and iPod are not fundamentally different: used on them, like on the iPhone, one and the same software shell - iOS. Due to all these devices, the functionality is one (and even the menu is almost the same), including when controlling the ICLOUD storage - everything resumes only in size internal memory and resolution of the device screen.

But about the management of the ICloud repository on macBook Computers And on ordinary PCs based on Windows it is worth telling.

Setting up iCloud for Windows XP

Although Apple recommends using windows version Not lower than Vista, you can run the installation of ICloud and in Windows XP. For this apply winRar programs And ORCA MSI Editor, with which the "source" icloud is configured - the installation of ICloud installation for Windows XP is deleted. There is a ready-made, "repaid", configured under XP version installation file icloudsetup.exe.

Setting up iCloud in MacOS system

Both on the Apple PC with the pre-installed MacOS - and on ordinary computers on the basis of the x86 / x64 platform, where you can also install mAC version (specifically for such PCs) - the operation of the iCloud application is similar, since. graphic shell MacOS everywhere almost the same. The operation of the iCloud application differs little from the Windows version: the same functions. As an example - a person who has established the French version of ICloud on a PC with operating system MacOS and bought 55 GB of place in the icloud storage.
