How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well?

How do I delete a movie (not bought from iTunes) and have it actually deleted from the library as well, I keep deleting stuff from iTunes to try and free up some space only to find the file still in the library?

It depends upon what preferences settings you use.  Most people use default settings so when you delete an item it asks you if you want to get rid of the file too.
If iTunes absolutely refuses to get rid of the file (I have never heard of this by the way) you can always go to the media folder or wherever the file is located and drag it to the trash yourself.

    how do I add a movie not bought on iTunes to my iPad?

    You have to make sure the movie is in a format supported by iPad. 
    iPad supported formats: 
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

  • How/where or can I- store 75 HD movies (not purchased from itunes)and have them accessible from an ipad?

    How/where or can I- store 75+ HD movies (not purchased from itunes) and have them all accessible from an ipad?  Is their a cloud or other app. that would allow me to do this?  What my wife wants to do is to be able to open up an app. and have all of her movies listed and then be able to click on any of them and watch them on her ipad.  HELP!

    The easiest way to do this is to import the movies into iTunes and sync as many of them as will fit onto the iPad.
    If you want easy access to all of the movies without having to sync, you can find a file sharing website and upload all the movies there. Then, get a download managing app such as iDownloads, bookmark the links to all of the movies, and you can download them at will and delete them when you're done with them.
    If you're especially tech savvy and want a solution that is less laborious, you can setup an FTP server (such as the Filezilla server if you have Windows) on the computer where the HD movies are located, and give it access to the folder where the movies are. Then get an app that can download to FTP servers (GoodReader is one that I use) and download the movies at will via FTP. This solution requires less busywork, but is only feasible if you are especially technically savvy.

  • How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my  computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders.

    Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

    Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

    My new 4S iphone is not showing in itunes and have followed all trouble shooting tips.  It does show in iphoto and wants to download photos.  Any suggestions???

  • HT203167 i bought anastacia's "cowboy's & kisses" video from iTunes and now has disappeared off my music library! where did it go?-i paid good money for it!

    i bought anastacia's "cowboy's & kisses" video from itunes and now it is gone, erased from my music library! it's not on the imac, or my ipad! where is it? i paid good money for it! these are tough times i want it back! i'm not going to pay for it again!

    You shouldn't have to pay again.   Log into iTunes with the same detail you used to purchase the original music and you should be able to download it again.
    If you meet a further problem go to ... http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express lane followed by iTunes > iTunes store.

  • I am trying to delete multiple photo albums from itunes and cannot locate a delete method on the itunes page.  I tried deleting from my iP4 but cannot locate a delete tab other than the one on the camera roll section.  Any suggestions would be a help

    I am trying to remove photos from itunes so I can resync my ip4 and remove all the photos that were transferred from my Win7 PC when I synced the phone.  No tabs on the phone to delete so I assume I will need to delete from itunes and resync the phone.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    JM

    I believe you just are able to delete them from iTunes.
    Hope it will be helpful

  • How do I transfer all of my songs from Iphone to itunes as lost everything, some songs are not bought from itunes and have been from borrowed CD's but I really want them in itunes library?

    Hello, Please help as I tunes havent got back to me yet!!
    A couple of months ago, I lost all of my music/itunes etc as my computer needed a complete restore. When it re-installed itunes there was no songs on it at all and would only let me transfer the purchases made on my iphone from itunes back onto my library. The problem I have is that I want to upgrade my phone to the iphone4 but dont want to lose all of the songs on my iphone, some are downloaded from the itunes, most are from CD's that I still own but there are some great songs that I have put on from borrowed CD's or another download company i.e. hmv music downloads and those are the songs it will not let me transfer into the library on my computer so when I get the new phone, I could just sync and they will all be there.
    Please help as I do not want to lose any of my songs
    Thank you

    for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
    connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • How do I put a movie I bought on iTunes onto a DVD?

    I purchased a DVD on iTunes and want to burn it onto a DVD to watch on my TV. PLEASE HELP

    You can't; movies purchased from the iTunes Store can't be burned to video DVDs, and data DVDs aren't usable on standalone players.

  • HT1325 I have just bought a song from Itunes and it skips half way through the song to another song. How do I fix it

    I bought a song from Itunes yesterday and it will only play through about a third of the song before it skips. I tried to fast forward it past the part where it usually skips however the song doesn't play it just now stops when I fast forward it. How do I fix it?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • HT1689 how do i delete songs from my iTunes and have them also delete from my iPhone using iCloud

    When i delete songs from my iTunes list the songs remain on my iPhone even though i have i Cloud

    From your last post, it sounds as if you're hoping to stream music to your iPhone (and your computer) from iCloud, so when you delete songs from iCloud, they will also be deleted from your iPhone.
    iTunes Match sort of does that, but not quite, as the songs you have played on an iOS device get stored there.
    Here's a snippet from the iTunes Match writeup located at:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
    On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.
