Q: Not enough storage


Hi all -

 

I keep getting the not enough storage message. I have moved all my photos to the cloud, and my email in box is clean. I do have some audio books from iBOOK, and I think they are taking way too much space. Can I move them to the cloud, and if yes how do I that? Been looking with cannot find the answer.

 

Regards

iPhone 6 Plus

    Do NOT remove the audio books from your device unless they have been transferred into iTunes on your computer. You can NOT download audio books again from the cloud without having to pay for them again.

     

    Furthermore, you can not upload any content to iCloud. It is for backups and iCloud Photo Library. It is not a storage device in the cloud.

    Ok. So once I move them to my iMAC and then delete them? If that is the case how will I be able to listen to them again on my device.

    You can sync them back to the phone again when you want to listen to them again. Before you delete the books, please make sure they transfer properly. Apps will not longer transfer into iTunes, but books, movies, music, etc will still transfer.

     

    Connect your phone to the Mac, launch iTunes, select your device from the icon at the top, then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases>Your iPhone. Check to make sure that they did in fact transfer by looking in the books section of iTunes.

    Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer - Apple Support

     

    IF you already know how to do that, I apologize. I just want to be sure.

    If you transferred them into iTunes, then you can sync them from iTunes later.

     

    As Demo said, audiobooks are a one-time only download, they won't show in the cloud for redownloading.  If they aren't in iBooks on your phone then you should copy of them in your computer's iTunes library and/or on your backup of your downloads/library so that you can sync them back to your phone ? If you have them on your phone but not your computer's iTunes library then connect the phone and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
