Deleting movies on iPad

I was doing some housekeeping on the Pad and deleted a movie from last year's '12 Days' thinking it would appear on iCloud as per apps/songs/TV episodes. However not he case. When I go into the Store, the movie is there at full price with no 'downloaded' tag or iCloud symbol. It's on our main PC from last Sync but I had assumed 'deleted' movies would have same storage as app etc. Thoughts/Help.

Films are currently a one-time only download and won't appear in the cloud. If you have it on your computer then you can sync it back to the iPad if you want it there, but you won't be able to re-download it from Apple without re-purchasing.

How ca I delete movies in ipad air?

Ok, you asked a question. Diavonex gave you an answer. You marked it solved which generally means that the post gave you the solution you needed. If it did, why are you asking the question again? What didn't you understand about the answer? What didn't work?

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.

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

Obviously I was dreaming.....

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.

HT1668 I get the "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". whenever i try deleting from my ipad 2. I am unable to delete from Trash...HELP

I get the "Unable to Move Message. The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash". whenever i try deleting from my ipad 2. I am unable to delete from Trash...HELP!
Additional info...I am trying to delete these emails from a Webmail address. the Trash currently has 11 messages and they arent being deleted.

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If you still can't delete them then go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select the account on the right-hand side of that screen, select Account, then Advanced, Deleted Mailbox, and under On The Server tap the 'Trash' folder so that it gets a tick against it - then come out of that series of popups by tapping on the relevant buttons at the top of them and then see if you can delete emails.

IPad is frozen on email, can't delete, move, or go to mail box

On mail iPad is frozen on an email, I cannot delete, move, or look at other emails or go to mailbox, how do I unfreeze?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Deleting purchased and previously downloaded movies from iPad

Have read all prior posts. Tried everything short of resting entire ipad. Has Apple responded with a fix yet?

There is nothing for Apple to fix, What is the issue you are facing?
Deleting Movies and content from the videos app works fine (You swipe right to left on a title to delete), you can also view and delete some items at Settings>General>Usage, Show all apps.

IPad Air 2 Deletes Movies from Video App Yet Keeps Space Alotted

My new iPad Air 2 is deleting movies from the video app and leaving the space reserved in "other." When I examine this in iTunes on my Mac, the deleted movies now show their size as "stream" instead of their file size. This is highly annoying as I keep having to format and restore, and it keeps happening and I am losing a ton of space to "other."

I'm experiencing this exact issue on two devices:
iPhone 4S 32GB
iPad Air 64 GB
Both while running iOS 7.03 and 7.04 (recently updated both devices to 7.04 hoping it would help. It didn't)
My iPhone had become nearly unusable until I found your post. It had apparently accumulated >12 GB of "temporary streamed content", as after I did a backup/wipe/restore, I had recovered to around 12 GB free space.
It's unfortunate that the fix requires a complete reset/restore cycle, as it's very time-consuming, but thanks for providing that fix! It saved my iPhone 4S. Now I can comfortable wait until the 6 comes out to get a new iPhone.
Really, though, this seems like a critical bug for iOS devices. I'll certainly not stream any iTunes content until/unless this is fixed. I found that if I turn off "Show all Videos" in the Video App settings, it doesn't show the iTunes cloud content for streaming from within the App. This forces me into iTunes to do a full download if I want to watch something. Kind of a pain, but it beats a device that's maxed out on storage and basically bricked.

Why can i not delete some movies on ipad

why can i not delete some movies on ipad

If the movies show up with a Cloud symbol or if they will not delete when you hit the edit button (or the edit button is not there), go to Settings > Videos > Turn off 'Show All Videos'

Deleting movies on an iPad

If I delete a movie on my iPad can access it again because I bought it on iTunes? Would it just delete off my iPad and then if I want to watch it again, I would download it off iCloud or sync up with my iTunes account on my computer right? Just checking..

If you downloaded the movie in iTunes on your computer and then transfered it to your iPad then the movie is still in iTunes on your computer - you can remove it from the iPad and then sync it back to the iPad when you want to watch it again.
If you only have the movie on the iPad, if you delete it, you will have to buy it again. You cannot download movies again from iCloud like you can download purchased apps, music, books and TV shows.
