Hi all, new to forum, didnt want to start a new thread being a newbie, so hopefully this thread is "on topic" my apologies if its not. I have "Exceeded" my picture limit on ipadmini and i get the "cannot take photo" message and it says "there is not enough available storage to take a photo. You can manage your storage in settings" and it gives me 2 options, done and settings. If i click done, im not able to get back to the photos to delete some of them and if i go to settings, there doesnt appear to be a way to get back into the photos to delete at least on of them to get "more room" I've found that i'm not able to actually get to the photo book without deleting an "App". If i delete the app, i get enough room and the mini permits me to go into photos and delete some of them, but other than deleting an app, i'm not able to. Thanks guys.
Hi, welcome to iPF!
Afaik the iPad only sets limits for photos in Photo Stream and Photo Sharing. Supposedly you get this message because there's no more storage space on your device.
The popup wants to lead you to Settings, because you can delete apps there in General - Usage - Storage, to make more storage available. You can't remove photos from the iPad in the Settings app, though. That has to be done in the Photos app, I think you already know that.
I've read somewhere else, that you need to remove apps or music, before you can delete photos, when the whole storage space is occupied. So this seems to be normal behaviour of your iPad.
If you intend to save some of the photos, think of something where you can save them. Cloud storage, or an external HD, or your computer, e.g. There are quite a few possibilities.
As soon as you deleted photos you don't need any more, you can reinstall the app you've removed before, if you need it.
