Can't delete movies from iPad 2

I have an iPad 2 and I cannot delete movies from it.  I have tried going into the movie icon but there is no edit function.  Also, synced it to itunes but the movies on the ipad that I want to delete are not in my itunes library.  I went to Settings / General / Storage / movies (no data).  I am at a loss and need help.

Is there a little cloud on each movie?
The cloud icon means it isn't on the iPad, but in the cloud for download.
You can hide the movies in your iTunes account so they no longer show.   You can unhide later it you want.

  • 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.

  • HT5409 can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop

    Ihave  download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??

    Ihave  download a movie from ipad but it will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed..??
    Are you going to give us any additional clues as to what you are really asking here?
    1) The "HT5409" in your subject title reference implies you are dealing with AVCHD content. If true, then how did you transfer them to your iPad and how did you transfer them from your iPad to your your MacBook Air platform? As the HT409 topic clearly stated, this can be very important. In addition, how are the files stored? For instance , have you extracted the MPEG-4 AVC content as transport streams or is the content still in the device recorded file form? Are you trying to edit the content or convert it to M4V, MP4, or MOV files directly?
    2) The "can i convert movies from iPad to mac laptop" part of your subject title is confusing. Yes, AVCHD files can be converted to simpler MPEG-4 AVC content that is compatible with all current and most older Mac computers and Apple mobile devices in MOV, MP4, and/or M4V file formats. However, how you do this will depend on the current form of the data and the target settings you wish to employ to ensure compatibility with the various target device possibilities. Further, non-AVCHD content (e.g., HD iPad video recordings) can also be downconverted to simpler settings in a similar manner if needed or required if that is your questing.
    3) Depending on your operating system, both AVCHD and MPEG-4 AVC content should already be compatible with QT X v10.2 and v10.3 players if properly transferred to your laptop from the recording device. And, even if improperly transferred, may still be converted to useable/compatible formats as long as the file itself has not been corrupted by your, as yet, unspecified workflow.
    4) What does "will not play on my mac air laptop with quicktime installed" mean here? Are you trying to play an AVCHD movie in the QT 7 player or one of the QT X players? If the latter, which one? Are you getting any error message? If so, what are they? If not playing in your main user account on the computer, does it play useing a different account? Do the files play in other, third-party multimedia players?
    Basically, your question is the equivalent of my saying my car won't start but failing to mention whether or not I am out of gas, my battery is dead, or that I have removoed the distributor cap, wires, or spark plugs from the engine. To properly solve the issue we need all possible information that you can provide describing exactly what you are doing, how you are doing it, what is not working as your expect it should, and what your goals are. In cases where you cannot answer such questions, it is often helpful to simply post/upload a sample "problem" file and let other users here examine it to determine the problem and/or suggest a specific solution for your particular system/configuration combination.

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

    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 photos from iPad but not iCloud?

    Before setting up iCloud, my girlfriend downloaded photos from her camera to her iPad.  We now have iCloud set up, but the photos on her iPad remain in the "Photos" album instead of Photo Stream.  I would like to delete the photos from the iPad to free up storage space, and move them to the Macbook.  I'm guessing that I would need to somehow move them to Photo Stream then delete the old album where they were stored on the iPad...  Any ideas?

  • Can I play movies from iPad to blu ray player?, Can I play movies from iPad to blu ray player?

    How do you play movie on a blu ray from the iPad ?

    Subject of your posts seems to be asking if you can take movies from the iPad and play them on a BluRay player. No, you can't, though there are ways to connect your iPad to a television. The body of your post seems to be asking if you can take BluRay movies and play them on your iPad. No. Commercial DVDs are encrypted. In order to make a copy, you'd need to break that encryption. That's illegal in the U.S., so, we're not able to talk about it on this forum. Sorry.

  • I can't delete movies from my netflix queue while using Firefox v9.0.1 but can with other browsers.

    Using Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit; Firefox v9.0.1; website affected Netflix
    I can't effect complete deletion of movies from my netflix.com streaming queue while using Firefox (v9.0.1). I contacted Netflix by phone and we checked my browser settings, ensuring they were where they needed to be. They suggested trying to effect the same using other browsers and I had no problem with Chrome allowing me to make a complete and effective deletion. My plugins are all up-to-date and any incompatible ones have been disabled. My problem has been an ongoing thing for months and I wanted to let Mozilla know it exists. If anyone else has been having this problem, please notify Mozilla so they realize it's not just an isolated incident and (hopefully) will look into finding the problem and fixing it.

    Addendum: The .jpg file, below, shows the netflix popup I get when trying to delete a video.

  • Cannot delet movies from ipad air 2

    I go into movies, press edit and delete the movie, it does not show up in 'usage' but it is still taking up storage space.
    If I go into iTunes I can see several movies and TV programmes that are supposed to be deleted but are still on the device but I have no way to delete them.
    I have hard rest the ipad several times but it makes not difference.
    This is the first time I have had this problem. Maybe user error?
    ipad air 2 running latest iOS.
    Thanks

    Found a solution.
    Log out of iTunes store and log back in again!

  • CinexPlayer and VLC deleting movies from Ipad

    I installed CinexPlayer and VLC, I was able to use itunes to move the movies into the ipad, however I have not been able to figure out how to delete them after I am done.
    Itunes only gives you the options to add and upload. not delete from device. I also tried to delete them the same way you delete them from "VIDEOS" and that did not work..!
    Does anyone have an idea how to do this...?

    Select the video you want to remove in the File Sharing section of the Apps tab in iTunes (the same one where you select the video to add), press the Delete key and OK the dialog box, then sync your iPad. That will remove the videos from the iPad.
    Regards.

  • Can I delete music from iPad and still keep it on iPhone?

    Both my iPhone and iPad 2 are using the same apple ID. And I do not use iTunes match. Back in the days of sync'ing via a wire with iTunes when I was setting up my iPad 2 it took all my music & videos from my iPhone which used up a lot of space, so now when I try to download podcasts on my iPad it tells me that I'm out of space.
    So I was wondering how can I delete all the music & videos from my iPad and obviously still keep it on my iPhone?

    Certainly you can. If you remove the music from one device, it doesn't have any effect on the other device.
    You need to learn how to set up sync preferences for your device. You can use this same process for syncing any content that is store in your iTunes library.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the albums or playlists that you want to sync - or the entire library if you like.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    If you do this, you can pick and choose exactly the unique content that you want to sync to each device.

  • 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.

  • Can't delete movie from itunes

    hey guys,
    ok so i ripped a movie using handbrake, shawshank redemption in case you were wondering, and something didn't happen quite right. i put the ripped movie into itunes, but it won't play, i can't delete it, i can't put it on my ipod, in fact every time i click on the file in itunes, itunes quits. i've used handbrake to rip a lot of other movies for my ipod and have never had this happen, any suggestions of how to get rid of the file in itunes???
    thanks in advance

    the ripped file was 1.5gig but thats not the file thats the problem. once i brought the ripped file into itunes i then had to "convert selection for ipod" its the converted file that keeps closing down itunes. so to answer your question i assume the converted file is less than 1.5gig but i can't check to be sure because when i try to "get info" itunes closes. any suggestions?

  • 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?

  • Apple disabled Apple ID when moved to new one, can not delete old from iPad

    Followed apple process to move Apple Id to a new email on my Macbook Pro.. Now can't login with original apple ID to turn off find my iPad. Appears Apple disabled it, since I know the password. Attempted to also login on Macbook Pro using the (old)previous ID and it can not be found. What to do? Was not told to disable all find my (products) before doing the Apple ID transfer process. Guess I need to completely disable devices restore and start over, if that is allowed. If I go and change the new Apple ID back to the old I will be asked to verify the old email and it has been disabled by my previous employer. Will restoring my devices using the backups on my Macbook Pro bring back the old Apple ID and get caught in a permanent loop? iPad air, iPhone 5s. Both current version 7.1.2 latest.

    If you've already tried unsuccessfully to recreate the old ID from the new one (and encountered a prompt to verify the old email address), you need to contact Apple for assistance https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.  They can also tell you if the ID is disabled or not.
    The call should be free but you will need your serial number to set it up, which you can find in Settings>General>About on your iPad.

  • ITunes deleting movies from iPad....

    Hi all,
    Latest version of iTunes and iOS on my Macbook Pro and iPad 2.
    Background:
    I sync this iPad with my MBP for travelling purposes - via the USB cord.  The MBP iTunes library uses 2 external HD's for Movies and TV Shows.  Music is actuall on the MBP.
    I usually connect the drives, launch iTunes and load moves and TV Shows on the iPad and all is well.
    Sometimes however, I do not connect the drives and notice that lately, iTunes will delete some of the already loaded media mentioned above from the iPad.  It does NOT delete all movies or all shows, just random ones.
    This is NEW behaviour since upgrading to iOS 5 and latest iTunes.  (not sure which is the culprit)   In the past, when syncing wihtout the drives, iTunes left the media on the iPad. I still want this to be the case!
    Am I missing a simple check box here - or is this a weird one?
    Thanks,
    Stu
