Having trouble deleting movie files from itunes

I'm curious as to how I delete movies from itunes. I imported these clips of a movie into itunes and would now like to remove them but i can't seem to do that. I tried deleting the files off my hard drive. itunes recognizes that i deleted them but they still appear in the Video menu of itunes. Any help will be appreciated.

Hi, you can delete movies or music tracks from iTunes by selecting the file in the iTunes library and pressing delete, and then clicking the "Move to Trash" button in the confirmation box that pops up.

Cannot delete movie file from iTunes

After converting movie file via Quicktime and adding it to the iTunes library, I am not able to remove it anymore. If you try to delete it, it crashes iTunes and after that all desktop icons are frozen. The movie does not play in iTunes, you cannot edit its info without crashing iTunes either. Movie plays in preview pane in Finder....
Is there any other way to remove the file from iTunes?

Try deleting the file without iTunes running.
When you next open iTunes it should then be marked as a missing file and you should be able to delete the entry from iTunes.
Hope this works
Regards,

I am having trouble moving a video from iTunes on my PC to my iPod (4th gen).

I am having trouble moving a video from iTunes on my PC to my iPod (4th gen). Is it a problem that it is in the "Home Videos" section? I go into the "Home Videos" sections and drag the video that I want so that the bar comes up, move it over to the device and let go. All that happens is it flashes a few times and then nothing. No error or anything.

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!

HT1660 when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retireved?

when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retrieved?

The file is just left where it was when it was connected to the library. Typically:
<User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>
If you want to add it back just drag it into iTunes. If you want to cull the files you kept previously add the entire iTunes Media folder back into iTunes (or use one of Doug's scripts that has the same effect), then delete (and don't keep) the recent additions.
Note that warning/prompt is only issued when the files you are removing are located inside the designated iTunes Media folder.

I am having trouble running .mov files on my ipad. What can I do?

I am having trouble running .mov files on my ipad. What can I do?
Thanks.

go to the app store and search .mov The pad plays a certain set of file types, but not all. In the appstore there are several alternate players that will work. Find one that does what you heed, and is priced right for you,and download it.
((WM Player HD lite is free, and look like the one you might want)
I use xy player, and VLC, but I am not sure either one is still available.

Having trouble recovering music files from data cd

Over a month ago my computer crashed, possibly due to me trying to update my ipod to Version 1.1. Unforunately a lot of my programs weren't working after that, including Itunes, but I still have my music files which I could not listen to so I decided to save them as data so that they would not be lost forever. I was finally able to get Itunes up and running a couple of days ago, the music files on my harddrive have been deleted. I am now having trouble getting the songs from the cd I had burned to back onto my hard drive, I have tried Apple's method of dragging the files to the Source List while in Itunes, but this does not work. I have also tried Importing the songs, copying the file, and copying the folders, but none of this works. Sorry for this being so long

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What do you have set in the System/CDs and DVDs preferences to do when a disk is inserted? If the option is not set to the Finder do so and see if that will make any difference.
Otherwise boot into Safe Mode and see if you can copy the files from the CD to a folder on the Desktop. Boot back into your normal account and see if you can import. Or import while still in the Safe Mode.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can I delete podcast files from iTunes?

I am running iTunes11.2.2 on an iMac, OS X Lion. In older versions of iTunes I could use iTunes' Delete function to remove a podcast from the iTunes library; a dialog box would display confirming removal from iTunes, then a secondary dialog box would display asking if I wanted to keep the file or move it to the trash. This function is similar to the workflow that displays if you want to delete a song from the iTunes library.
Over the past several versions of iTunes I have found that I cannot delete podcast files from the iTunes interface. I can remove the podcast from iTunes, but no dialog displays asking me if I want to keep the file or move the file to the trash. I must now navigate to the file's home in Finder and manually delete it from there.
Does anyone know if this delete functionality was removed altogether? There may be a setting in iTunes that I am missing but I need help being pointed in the right direction. It is frustrating that Apple would seemingly take away this function for podcasts, yet leave it in place for other media types in the iTunes library.

HT201077 I am having trouble deleting individual photos from my iPad on shared photo streaming.

I am having trouble deleting individual photos on Shared Photo Streaming on my iPad 2. There is not a trash can or delete option. If I choose edit on the first page, and I try to delete, the next step is to cancel photo sharing, which I don't want to do.

HT1391 I am having trouble deleting tv shows from my account.

I need help deleting files from my iTunes acct.

It's not currently possible to permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible (so they won't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading) : hiding and unhiding. If you are on iOS 6 on your iPad then you will need to do the hiding via your computer's iTunes, hiding doesn't currently work directly on iOS 6.
You should be able to delete from your computer's iTunes library (by selecting and deleting), and from the Videos app on your iPad (press and hold the the show on the programme selection tab)

Trouble saving m4v files from iTunes

I purchased a music video from iTunes that I want to edit. I have the latest version of Quicktime (plus Quicktime Pro7), which allows me to edit, but not to save or export the file. I would love to resave the file as a .mov but it won't let me (at least that way I could edit it in iMovie). If this were a pure audio file, I'd burn it to disc and then re-import it onto my hard drive for editing (removing the protection), but when I tried to burn the Video in iTunes, it wouldn't let me!
Any ideas?

Derek, welcome to these discussions.
The terms of use for your purchased videos don't allow modifying the file. They are "protected" using the same scheme used in the music downloads.
You'll need to find a different source of the file (or violate the laws regarding copyright).

Having trouble deleting syned photos from my iPod Touch

When I first got my iPod touch, I made a folder of pictures I wanted on the iPod; mostly of my family and a few wallpapers for my touch screen. But now the folder is taking up extra space on my iPod and I want to remove it. The only trouble is, I deleted the folder from my PC and didn't bother to back it up with a disk because I didn't realize I would need the folder in my files later on to remove the pictures. The short end of it is the pictures seem to be permanently attached to my iPod.
What can I do to delete them for good??
and also, will this affect my downloaded pictures in my camera roll??

Having trouble transferring large files from SSD startup disk to newly installed internal HDD

Have just installed an additional 2TB Samsung HDD in place of my optical drive on my late-2011 MacBook Pro.
Specs:
MacBook Pro 15inch late-2011
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Boot ROM Version: MBP81.0047.B27
Hard Drives:
Startup = 120GB SSD
New HDD = 2TB SATA Samsung M9T
OS: Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)
Issue:
Installed my new 2TB SATA drive and it appeared OK in Finder. I was able to navigate to it and create new folders and move small files into it (under 100MB maybe)
Really want to move my iPhoto library onto the 2TB disk to free up space for Apps on my SSD, but when I try to copy/move it over it only does the first few MB then freezes and appears to timeout as the new HDD disappears from Finder and ejects itself. I'm surprised that the eject stuff shows for an internal HDD but that's a side issue.
Have read about similar issues in other OS versions, especially around external HDD and have tried the following already:
* Looked at power management of the hard disks to stop them going to sleep
* Have told Spotlight not to index the new HDD to prevent the indexing task causing issues
* Both SSD and new HDD are formatted using MAC OS/X Extended (not FAT)
* Have tried fixing permissions on both disks as I believe there can be issues in Yosemite
I'm still having a problem despite trying the above. Struggling!
Any help much appreciated.

Open Disk Utility. By selecting one of the two entries for the HDD please determine how it is formatted and what partition map it is using. I suspect you did not partition or erase this drive before use. If that's true, then do this:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
Now you can try your file transfers again. However, before you do I recommend you clone your SSD to the HDD so the latter could be used as your boot drive should it be needed. That will also create an Home folder on the HDD with the files you wish to move to it. You can then simply remove those files from the SSD to free up the space.
Clone Yosemite, Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new HDD. Source means the SSD startup volume.
