How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

Since iTunes Match nor iCloud supports storing video content at this time (other than music videos purchased from the iTunes Store) what you want to do is not possible. There may be other cloud storage solutions out there, but none that integrate with iTunes.
FYI, if any of the movies are purchased from the iTunes Store the service Apple calls iTunes in the Cloud by be a partial solution for you. However it is strongly recommended that keep a local backup of all your purchased media and not depend solely on a third party (Apple) to keep your data safe.

  • How can I delete movie from my itunes

    How can I delete movie from my itunes on cpmputer?

    I think I found a solution to this problem. Go into the Video app and tap on TV Shows and then tap on the icon for the show that is downloading. Next to each episode, there is a circle with a square in the middle of it. Tap the square next to each episode and it will disappear both from that list and and from the downloading queue in the iTunes app. When you want to download a particular episode, go back into the show in the Video season and tap on Show Complete Season. Now each episode has its own Download button.
    Needless to say, it is insane that when you redeem a season purchase on the iPad, it insists on downloading the entire season.

  • How can I delete movies from my iPad that it thinks are in the cloud?

    I noticed that I was running out of space on my 32 GB iPad Air running iOS 7.1, so I looked at my pictures and moved them to iCloud and then deleted most of my un-used apps. This did not help in the gaining back a ton of space. So I looked at my videos. I have purchased content from itunes through the apple tv, and have watched some of it on my iPad. It is not clear to me if it downloads those files when I do this or if they are streaming like on my Apple TV.
    Anyway, when I hit the edit button in the video section none of the videos display the little "x" symbol letting you know that you can delete them. Instead, all of them show the "cloud" symbol even the movies and TV shows I watched. So I then turned on airplane mode and went back to Videos. I thought no wi-fi = no connection to the cloud = list of videos stored locally. This is where it gets weird. The majority of the "Purchased" items normally shown with the "cloud" symbol were not there, however the videos that I had watched were listed and still had the "cloud" symbol on them. They even played in airplane mode like they were stored locally. The problem occurs when I go to delete them. When I hit the edit button I cannot select these videos, it is treating them as if they are in the cloud even though I know they are taking up space locally.
    Is anybody elese having this problem?

    Based on previous discussions and in this thread I went to I went to Settings > General > Usage > Storage > Show all Apps > Videos.  My iPad Air indicates no data.  Sync movies and TV are unchecked in iTunes. 
    iTunes is showing I have 12.61GB of data and 92 videos. 
    Any other ideas?

  • HT201272 Can you access paid for apps/movies from iTunes on another device if you have not synced? I need to delete movies from my iPad to make space but don't want to forfeit the purchase as have not synced movies to another device yet.

I do not want to forfeit my purchases.. Please help!

  • HT4914 once the music is in the cloud, can i delete it from my computer to make space?

    I would like to make space on my laptop and was wondering if i download my music to icloud can i delete it from my hard drive?

    Actually, further to my last reply, I just played a song that wasnt located on my computer any longer (I deleted the file but left it in iCloud when prompted by iTunes).  The song has an iCloud icon next to it.  I double clicked it and it started playing.  When I opened up the info windon on this song, the Location says "iCould".  So, that leads me to believe that indeed we can delete the files from our master computer, and, stream them or download them from iCloud!  How great is this?  Can anyone coroborate this?  Cheers,  Mark

  • How can I delete movies from my apple tv wishlist?

    Hello,
    I know how to modify my wishlist on apple tv 2. The only thing is I am only allowed to add movies to the wishlist or to change the order of these movies. Is it possible to delete single movies from this list on apple tv 2?
    Thanks a lot in advance,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Go back to the movie using search in top movies, instead of the option to add to wishlist you now have the option to remove it from the wishlist.

  • How can I batch convert Page Documents to the Doc format, and keep them in the same folder?

    I have hundreds of Page documents in a folder structure for school that all need to be converted, but remain within the folder structure. Are there any scripts or methods to make this task easier before I go by this one-by-one?

    If you seriously expect an answer you'll need to give more information than the rather vague "can't"s so far.
    What version of Pages on what version of OSX?
    What exactly are the messages you are getting?
    Which scripts have you tried?
    Have you tried Automator and Smart Folders?

    Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

  • How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than by one song at a time? I am still on iOS 7.

    How can I delete music from my iPad Air other than one song at a time? I would like to delete a few albums.  I am still on iOS 7.

    You can either sync the iPhone and iPad to a computer that has your music on it and make sure the U2 album is not on the computer. Or you can delete all of the music from both devices (settings > general > usage > manage storage > music. Then redownload your music from your purchase history on the iTunes store
    Also the U2 album is attached to your apple id. To remove it, you will need to go here ---> https://itunes.com/soi-remove

  • How can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

    how can I transfer movies from the apple tv to the ituenes, to watch in the ipad?

    Is this a rental or a purchase?
    Rentals on ATV cannot be transferred.
    The 2nd and 3rd gen model do not have accessible storage. Some movie purchases are stored in iCloud (if you live in the US) where you can reload in iTunes on your computer)
    If you own the 1st gen aluminum model then it should be set to sync
