Do you ever get notifications saying "Your iCloud Storage is full"?
In this video, you'll learn how to get rid of that notification and you'll learn how
to free up your iCloud storage.

iCloud Storage is one of the most misused and misunderstood features of the iPhone.
Most people don't understand what iCloud is trying to do and how to fix it.
It can be quite frustrating, and most of us just click ignore or cancel and wait for the
notification "Your iCloud storage is full" to pop up in a few days.
It's time to finally conquer the iCloud problem for good!
I'm going to show you how in this video.
First let's understand what iCloud is.
iCloud is Apple's online storage service that allows you to save files on their online
servers.
Instead of saving files or information directly on your computer, phone, or storage device,
you are storing it on Apple's servers so you can access the files from anywhere at
anytime.
Every Apple user gets 5GB of iCloud storage space for free.
You can pay to upgrade your storage to 50GB, 200GB, or 1TB by paying a monthly fee, but
for most of you, this is unnecessary.
iCloud Backup is a feature on iPhones, iPads and iPods that backs up your entire device
to iCloud, just in case something unfortunate happens.
You should definitely use iCloud backup.
This saves all your contact info, apps you've downloaded, and other data that is useful
when you need a new phone.
Now let's get to the reason you're here.
This next feature of iCloud is the reason you're getting notifications saying "Your
iCloud storage is full" or "Failed to backup iPhone, there isn't enough storage."
The culprit is your photos.
First we need to understand the distinct differences between iCloud Photo Library and My Photo
Stream.
iCloud Photo Library permanently uploads and stores your photos and videos on iCloud.
My Photo Stream uploads your photos to iCloud so they're automatically downloaded on devices
with My Photo Stream turned on.
It only works over Wi-Fi and doesn't fill up your iCloud Storage space.
It's easiest to think of it like this…
If you take a photo on your iPhone and you have My Photo Stream turned on, that same
photo will also get downloaded to your iPad and Macbook (if you have those devices and
have My Photo Stream turned on).
That photo gets saved to your other devices storage, not on iCloud.
Please note that My Photo Stream only transfers photos.
Videos do not transfer to other devices.
You'll need to manually transfer those to your computer using AirDrop or by plugging
in your device to iTunes.
Let's go into iCloud on an iPhone.
Open your settings app on your iPhone and click on your Apple ID info at the top of
the screen.
On the next screen click iCloud.
Notice how the bar at the top of my screen is full and most of it is taken up by photos.
Before we change any settings, please plug your phone into a computer and transfer all
your photos to your computer as a backup.
After you've done that you can go back into iCloud settings.
Back in iCloud settings click on Photos under Apps Using iCloud.
On this screen make sure that iCloud Photo Library is turned off.
This feature saves ALL your photos to iCloud.
If you don't pay for extra iCloud storage this will fill up your free storage very quickly.
My Photo Stream can remain on.
Like I said earlier, this feature does NOT save photos to iCloud.
It downloads your photos to all your connected devices.
The other two features can remain off as well.
If you've backed up all your photos and videos to your computer like I suggested,
you can continue through any pop ups that may come up.
Your photos will be safe.
After changing those settings your iCloud storage may still be full…
Let me show you how to free up that storage.
You may need to sign into iCloud online to see what Photos were previously saved to your
account.
On a computer, sign in to icloud.com using the same apple login you use for your iPhone
iCloud.
Once signed in, you'll be able to click on Photos to view photos saved to your iCloud.
You can go through and click on Photos and download them to your computer, or delete
them.
After you've cleaned out your Photos on iCloud.com you should see your iCloud storage
return to normal.
Now that you've finally conquered iCloud Share this video with your friends.
Chances are if they have an iPhone, they have battled the iCloud storage issues too!
Remember these key points.
iCloud Photo Library Off, My Photo Stream On.
All the other iCloud settings are up to you.
Reminders, notes, contacts, and all those other settings don't take up much storage
space so you should be able to leave all those on.
If you start to see certain apps taking up a lot of iCloud space in the storage bar you
can always turn those apps off in the iCloud settings.

US 'war fleet' steps up attack drills as North Korea threatens to nuke America - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 2:20.
United States 'war fleet' steps up attack drills as North Korea threatens to nuke America
THE US navy has begun attack drills off the Korean peninsula despite Kim Jong-un threatening
them with nuclear destruction.
A fleet of 40 ships headed by the nuclear powered USS Ronald Reagan is teaming up with
South Korean ships for drills designed to simulate war with the North.
This move is designed to increase pressure on the tubby tyrant in a bid to make him give
up his nuclear programme.
But Kim has slammed the exercises as a "rehearsal for war" and insiders believe he could be
preparing a missile launch in retaliation.
Tensions on the Korean peninsula have risen sharply in recent weeks following a series
of weapons tests by the rotund ruler.
This included its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on September 3 and two other
launches which flew directly over Japan.
This has led to a war of words between Kim and US President Donald Trump, where he threatened
the Hermit Kingdom with annihilation.
In response, Kim has threatened to totally destroy the United States and a Russian visitor
to the North claims to have seen launch plans for a missile capable of reaching America.
One of Trump's top generals has warned the world about the dangers of the North's nukes.
Commander of US Pacific Air Force General Terrence John O'Shaughnessy said North Korea's
nuke programme was "truly a threat to us all".
He added: "Although countries like North Korea threaten regional peace and security,
our allied air power must be ready to respond with rapid, lethal and overwhelming force
to respond to preserve our interests."

El Camino - Everything You Need to Know | Up to Speed - Duration: 6:47.
(tires screeching)
- The El Camino has been accused of being
the mullet of cars for too long.
Ha! Hilarious! Get it?
It's a sedan in the front, and a truck in the back,
it's like a mullet!
I bet you haven't heard that one before!
You know what, pal?
The El Camino is truly one of the most unique cars
to ever come out of Detroit.
From humble beginnings hauling hay
to later, hauling ass.
This is everything you need to know
to get up to speed on the Chevy El Camino.
(retro arcade music)
- Yeah, yeah yeah, I know,
the El Camino was not the first car truck thing
to go on sale in the States.
Ford did it first, with the Ranchero 1957.
Ford marketed the Ranchero as "more than a car,
more than a truck," and it was a hit,
and Chevrolet took notice.
- Well yeah, I noticed.
- The first El Camino was brought to market
two years after the Ranchero in 1959.
Chevy sold over 22,000 units in
the first year of production,
but it got worse in 1960 and sales dropped.
Baby boomer families were growing,
so they needed more than two seats,
and the cargo space wasn't that great
compared to a real truck.
Basically, Chevy missed out on both markets.
And the El Camino was discontinued the following year.
- Wait, what?
What did he mean by discontinued?
- Meanwhile, the Ford Ranchero was doing pretty good.
It was now based on the Ford Falcon,
just like the Mustang.
Chevy took note of Ford's experimentation and said
"Hey, we can do that!"
Chevy brought back the El Camino in 1964
and this time its sister car was the frickin Chevelle.
The Chevelle Super Sport was one of Chevy's
first entries into the slowly escalating
muscle car arms race.
So it would make sense to offer this performance
in the El Camino, right?
- Yeah.
Yeah blonders.
That's a good idea.
- Chevy didn't think so.
They did not offer the El Camino SS.
Yet.
Chevy was still determined to market the El Camino
as a truck with the comforts of a car,
as opposed to a car with the utility of a truck.
However, as the 1964 model year went by,
Chevy eventually offered a 327 cubic inch V8,
making a decent 300 horsepower.
- Pretty, pretty, pretty good.
- From 1964 to like 1980, the design changed
every
single
year.
Every single year.
1964
1965
1966
1967
1968
1969
1970
1971
1972
1973
1974
1975
1976
1977
1978
1979
1980.
But the philosophy stayed the same:
practicality and luxury, all in one, just like me.
- (wheezing laughter)
- The El Camino took the undeniably beautiful
looks of the Chevelle and mixed it with
the practicality of a truck.
Chevy continued to give the El Camino
more and more power and it got better and better looking.
Look at the 1968 and 1969 models.
Those are some good looking cars.
And if you say otherwise, you're a (bleep) liar, Mark!
I know you're watching, Scott told me.
Scott told me you watch all my shit.
You follow me on Instagram, Mark.
Chevy sold the most El Caminos in 1968
because it was offered with Chevy's 396 V8
and it made 375 horsepower.
The gloves were starting to come off.
In 1969, Chevy finally gave the people
the El Camino SS,
(cheering)
with a special blacked out grill,
disc brakes and powerlocks and windows
just like a racecar.
But Chevy wasn't done, because the 1970 El Camino SS
might be one of the most unique muscle cars of the era.
While you can still get the 396,
Chevy raised the stakes with the 454 V8.
This colossal big block made 450 horsepower,
and a whopping 500 foot pounds of torque.
That's enough power to pull your neighbor's house down.
Don't ask me how I know that.

It also came with a four speed short ratio transmission.
Long story short, it hauled ass.
(engine revs)
Or, whatever else you wanted to haul,
because it had a truck bed in the back.
Like all good things, including every
single
one
of my beautiful hamsters, the El Camino SS
met a swift end.
In 1971, Chevy saw the writing on the wall
with the looming gas crisis and started
to detune their big block offerings
to be more fuel-efficient.
This is also the part where the El Camino
gets noticeably less attractive,
but can you blame it?
It was in an abusive relationship with Chevy.
How would you feel?
You'd probably get a little ugly too.
- This one, real (bleep) ugly.
- The gas crisis didn't kill the El Camino.
Quite the opposite, actually.
Despite being the largest and nearly the slowest
El Camino ever, the 1973 model
was by far Chevy's best-selling.
The next year the El Camino reached
the pinnacle of luxury with the
carpeted door panels and wood grain instrument panel trim.
- That's fancy. That's fancy.
- Real fancy.
- If Chevy couldn't make the El Camino more powerful,
well gosh darn it, they were gonna make it fancier.
The fifth gen El Camino arrived in 1978
with a few different trim levels
including the Black Knight, which I only mention
because that is literally the most kickass name
for a trim level ever.
Chevy had to change the name of the Black Knight
to the Royal Knight in 1979 because of copyright issues.
Wait, who owns the copyright to Black Knight?
- Martin Lawrence is the Black Knight.
- When the gas prices of the 70s came to an end,
Chevy ushered in the 80s with a new El Camino,
with zero changes to the body
and only minor tweaks to the engine.
Thus began the twilight of the El Camino,
and no, I'm not talking about vampires.
The Elkie lived out its final years with few highlights.
In 1985 Chevy started producing the El Camino
in Mexico to save on costs,
but it didn't last long, because the El Camino
finally left us in 1987.
Just like my dad.
The death of the El Camino was a somber one,
but the fact that it wasn't being sold in showrooms anymore
didn't stop people from loving it.
The El Camino is a folk hero in the car world,
a solid performer who wasn't afraid to get down and dirty.
If you have the chance to buy an El Camino, do it.
- Just do it!
- There have been a million rumors
for a million years now that Chevy's gonna bring back
the El Camino but I'm not holding my breath.
- (heavy breathing)
- Would this ruin some of the legend of this car?
That's always a possibility.
But the way Detroit is pouring out new muscle,
a brand new El Camino could actually be pretty tight.
That's everything you need to know to get up to speed
on the Chevy El Camino.
Would you rather have a classic one or a new one?
