I'm in the process of redownloading my music from itunes onto my iphone 4. It said I needed more storage and that my memory was full. I purchased 10gb from icloud but my phone is still saying "no storage" am I doing something wrong or did I miss a step somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
iPhone 4, iOS 6.1.3, icloud
Purchasing more iCloud storage doesn't increase the capacity of your phone. The capacity of your phone was fixed when you bought it. The additional iCloud storage only gives you more room in your iCloud account for data you sync with the account and your iCloud backups.
To see how much free space is on your phone, go to Settings>General>Usage. It will say how many GBs of free space are left. If you don't have enough to store all your music, you'll either have to store less music on your phone, delete other data from your phone to make more room, or subscribe to iTunes Match (https://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/) to enable you to access your music library from iCloud.
If you purchased the extra iCloud space by mistake, you can request a refund within 15 days by calling 1-800-MYAPPLE (if you're in the U.S.).

Yes, although songs are downloaded to your phone as you play them so you need to occasionally delete them again to avoid using up to much space. But you have access to your entire iTunes library (up to 25,000 songs) through iCloud without having to store them all on your phone.
Your welcome. To delete the music on your phone, try going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipe across All Music and tap Delete.
So if I purchase ituness match I will just be listening to my music from icloud not necessarily from my phone? Could I then delete all the songs I put on my phone because it has used up all my memory and my phone is running horrible now.
Thank you, I finally think I understand and I do subscribe to ITunes match so I should be good. all music I purchase as well as all cds I own and have uploaded to ITunes I should be able to access and listen to on my phone. Now to figure out how to delete the music on my phone...LOL
I purchased iCloud storage today but still not activa
Years later....but does it use data to do it that way?
I bought more icloud storage but my phone still says my memory is full?
