Cancel or delete partially downloaded rental movie on iPad... how?

I have a partially downloaded rental movie on my iPad in iTunes which I would like to cancel.
I have searched high and low, and it seems the only way I can do this is to connect to a computer which is not possible for me at this time. I was wondering if anybody had any other ideas on how I can achieve this?
Here are things I have already tried:
- In the downloading section of iTunes, swiping left to write and selecting the delete button. Swiping does nothing, no delete button appears.
- in Settings, General, Usage, Movies, choosing Edit and deleting... The movie doesn't appear in this section
If anybody can help, please do?
- Ta, Krista.

I know i am replying to an old thread but thought someone else might find this useful. I paused the partial download, then wrote an email to Apple via the support link for iTunes store requesting that the download be removed from the queue explaining why ( in my case because i purchased HD instead of SD) and about 1 hour later received an email from Apple saying they cancelled my download and even offered me a refund. Not bad service I say.

  • Remove partially downloaded iTunes movie from iPad

    I tried to download a movie to my iPad but the download stopped in the middle as there was not enough storage.  Now the partial movie is stuck on my iPad and I cannot remove it.  I have removed almost all data from my iPad to create more space but this hasn't helped.  When the iPad is connected to my Mac nothing shows in movies but there is a huge chunk of data showing in "Other" in the bar at the bottom.  When I try to manage storage on the iPad, the video app shows "no data".  I have looked at this problem in support communities and people have said that I must download the entire movie before I can delete it.  However, when I try to complete the download I still get message that there isn't enough available storage even though there is a lot of available space onthe iPad.  My iPad has iOS 7.0.4

    what is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    Summary
    What is the Other on my iPhone? Now the Other is taking up 1.9GB space on iPhone 4, how can I remove it and release the space?

    Symptom: Frankly I rarely cared about the free space on my iPhone until it ran out today and my iPhone 4 warned me to release some space. The first thing that I were considering initially was to delete some large game Apps. But when I connected to my computer, I noticed that a "Other" bar was consuming 2.5 GB of my iPhone's 13.57 GB. Does anyone know what the Other means on my iPhone?

    What is taking up "Other" space on my iPhone
    Analysis: Some of you may think the Other on your iPhone is the pure OS taken space or Safari, email temporary data. But that’s not the complete answer.
    Part of that Other space on iPhone is taken up by iOS, the operating system running on your iPhone. For this part, this is no way to reclaim the free space from that. However, the Other part of iPhone storage space also contains sort of caches and temp files generated by App and iTunes syncs, and some of them won't be used long-term.
    The size used by Other on your iPhone largely depends on the App you currently installed on the phone. The more caches and temp files created by Apps, the more space consumed by Other. And of course, it may slow your iPhone down.
    Solution: it is hardly to put up with 2-3GB space taken by Other on iPhone, especially we even have no idea about what exactly it is. So to remove the Other, you can try to reclaim this space by doing a sync with iTunes; in other cases, you may have to go through a full backup and restore process.
    Because iTunes is terribly slow and troublesome on Windows PC (Best iTunes Alternatives ), and every time we sync our iPhone with iTunes will take lot of time. So, alternatively, you can use an iPhone Cleaner program to remove their Other files on your iPhone.

  • Can't open downloaded rental movies on ipad

    I downloaded two movies. I see the picture of the movie in movies but when I click play it says movie won't download. What do I do.

    Did you tap the "Music Videos" category at the top of the Videos page -- just under the time display? There are separate category buttons for each type video on your iPad, such as Movies, Music Videos, TV Shows, etc.

  • HT1657 My downloaded rental movie on iPad is gone.

    Hi,
    I rented Skyfall the movie from iTunes. I transferred it to my iPad, but iPad had problems and the Apple store gave me a new iPad. The movie is now nowhere to be found. How can I download it again without paying for it? I never watched it.
    Thanks,
    John

    Rentals are currently a one-time only download so you will need to contact iTunes Support - they should then grant you a re-download. Try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

  • HT2729 Downloaded 2 movies on iPad, 1 on desktop to watch during air, but unableto move desktop movie to iPad; not enough iPad memory for 3 movies.  After 1 movie is watched & deleted will I be able to download already rented 3rd movie without paying fee

    Downloaded 2 movies on iPad, 1 on desktop to watch during air trip, but unable to move desktop movie to iPad; not enough iPad memory for 3 movies.  After 1 movie is watched & deleted will I be able to download already rented 3rd movie without paying fee again?

    1. No
    2. You can only transfer a rental to an Apple TV 1, which Apple TV do you have.

  • I downloaded a movie twice.  How can I cancel the other one and get a refund?

    I downloaded a movie twice.  How can I cancel the other one and get a refund?

    If you are speaking of an iTunes purchase, you will need to contact iTunes Customer Service and explain the situation. Their written policy is kinda cold, in that they say they don't issue refunds for erroneous purchases, but I have found them to be a bit more understanding and helpful than that.
    Start by calling Apple at 1-800-275-2273 (if in the US) and ask to be connected to iTunes Customer Service.

    How do I play my downloaded rental movie on my ipad2 and where do I find it...help ?

    If you've downloaded the film directly on the iPad or synced it to the iPad from your computer's iTune then it should show in the Videos app on the iPad - it's icon looks like a film clapperboard.

    Having downloaded Pages to my IPad, how do I transfer it to my iMac, thanks?

    You can copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases - you can then take a backup copy of it, but you won't be able to use it on your Mac as it's not compatible, they are different operating systems (you will need the Mac OS X version to use on it).

  • How to delete partially downloaded movie from ipad

    I tried to download an HD movie to iTunes, but there was not enough space for it. I cannot get rid of the partially downloaded movie. Already tried reset, but that didn't solve anything.

    If you're viewing the Purchased screen and see a cloud icon next to the movie, it isn't on the iPad and you can hide it by swiping.
    What is the available storage on the iPad? You can check by tapping Settings > General > Usage. Try looking through the list of apps and removing something that you don't think you  want anymore, if there is anything. I'm guessing you're gonna need a few gigs free to avoid running into the download/playback problems.
    You can always re-download stuff.

  • How do I permanently remove or delete a partially downloaded HD movie from my iPhone?

    I purchased a movie in HD from my iPhone, which I now know can't be done. It started downloading and is now frozen in "Processing" mode. I can pause the processing but is there some way to permanently delete the download from my iPhone? I have already synced the movie to a laptop so I am not worried about losing it.

    I had the movie paused for the last 3 or 4 days and noticed that it has now disappeared from my iPHONE. No worries now. I will remember next time to download to the computer first!

  • Where would any downloaded rental movies be downloaded to on my iPad? Just spent over $40 in data top ups and nearly two days trying to a. Download a purchased movie and b. find the movie on my iPad.

    I bought this iPad (think it is an iPad 2 not actually sure, a about a few months ago. Yesterday I decided to go on iTunes store and purchase a rental movie which cost approx $6 NZD. After about 2 hours I ran out of data and the movie hadn't even downloaded halfway so I purchased more data thinking another Gb would do. Then i got a message from itunes that my ipad didnt have enough storage so i went into settings and dleeted apps and docs (apparently also deleted from icloud too) to make room for the movie. Now after purchasing another 7GB of data at over three times the cost of the rented movie it finally finished downloading and I had enough space on my iPad. But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it? Why have I just wastednearlyb$50 just tying to download and watch one measly movie! It is obviously some secret formula or thing I've missed...it shouldn't be so hard! The day before this I successfully downloaded a song I purchased and can listen to with no probs.  do I need another app to store downloaded movies or something?

    But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
    If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App
