how do i clear movies from the hard drive on my macbook ?

Hi gpzjamie,
If you need to free up space on your Mac by deleting the movies you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, then please follow the directions below for help with deleting movies.
Mac or PC
Open iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Movies.
Click Movies in the navigation bar.
Click the movie you want to delete.
Press Delete on your keyboard.
In iTunes 11 or later, the movie cover art will remain visible, but a Download  icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store - Apple Support
Have a good one,
Alex H.

  • When I plug in my ipad it automatically tries to back up and download all the contents to the C drive - the PC is too full and I have iTunes on an external hard drive, how do I tell the system to do the backup to the hard drive please?

    When I plug in my ipad it automatically tires to back up and download all the contents to the C drive - the PC is too full and I have iTunes on an external hard drive, how do I tell the system to do the backup to the hard drive please?

    You can open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your external drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.

  • My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

    My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
    The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
    I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy....   google...." fcpx time machine problem"  Frist page link

           You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.

  • When I open my files to download my pictures from my iphone 6 plus, there is a windows icon with a hard drive.  What is that? And why can't I delete it?

    When I open my files to download my pictures from my iphone 6 plus, there is a windows icon with a hard drive.  What is that? And why can't I delete it?  I already reset my phone and a week later they came back. 

    I download my pictures by:
    !) Connecting my iphone to he computer.
    2) It will open a window or I will go to my computer and select iphone device.
    3) Open up Iphone folders and download.
    When I do that, I see a windows icon, with what looks to be a hard drive.  And when I click on it, it leads me back to my desktop.  Right now, I only have one.  I know by tomorrow I will have more.  It just keeps spreading. 

  • How do I remove movies from my hard drive?

    I tried to update my system and it says that I don't have enough space on my hard drive. When I went to delete files it shows quite a bit of space being taken up by movies. I don't have any movies on my iTunes but they are on my cloud. How do I remove them from my hard drive? I am a rookie Mac user so if you can help please help with steps. Thanks!

    I suggest that you download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.   It will show all of your files and the respective sizes.  Delete or transfer to an external HDD what you do not want on your internal drive.  Don't forget to empty Trash.
    Ciao.

    I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen.  I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod. A family member set it up for me. 

    You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs
    If on your iPod now:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    You can go to Setting>iCloud>Manage Storage and see what is using the store and delete items from iCloud

  • Deleting Movies off my Hard Drive...

    I downloaded a couple of movies from iTunes a while ago, now I'm running out of space on my hard drive I want to delete them completely. The only problem is when I go to delete the actual file it gives me a message saying:
    "Cannot delete [movie]: Access is denied.
    Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."
    Any suggestions for how I can solve this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    If you have some large files that you know are duplicated on your backup drive, drag one to the Trash. Empty it and try to operate the OS to see whether fit responds properly to commands. Do that repeatedly until to does. Then start tp trash your movie files.
    My 2¢ worth…delete render files. I  bet you free up a lot of space,

  • I need help with migration....i need to take movies off 1 hard drive and put into another then into my iPad

    I need help taking movies off of 1 hard drive and putting into another....then putting into my ipad

    Drag them from one hard drive then drop them onto the other. Then you must import them into iTunes in order to sync them to your iPad.

  • How to put ituness movies onto separate hard drive?

    I have just started to downloads films from the itunes store, however I don't want to clog up my Mac's hard drive. Is there any way to put the Movies onto an external hard drive? Please bear in mind I watch the films by streaming to Apple TV.

    1. The data won't be erased unless a problem occurs.
    2. The Time Machine backup should be on a different drive, as drives can fail.

  • How do I connect both iMac (2011) hard drives to backup with Time Machine and Airport Time capsule?

    Hi - my iMac has 2 hard drives, 250 Gb solid state and a 2 Tb drive.  I'm backing up using time Machine to an Airport time Capsule but only the 250 Gb drive comes up in hte list?  All my photos are on the 2 Tb drive (about 120GB worth) and I want a back up for these. I'm running under OS X 10.9.1 Maverick
    Any help would be greatly appreaciated!

    Ok.. I am surprised..
    What did you format the 2TB drive.. I find it hard to imagine you formatted an internal drive anything but Mac OS extended journaled (HFS+) .. but you could have.
    Time Machine can only backup HFS+ format drives.
    Of course this Mavericks.. and in Mavericks the bugs rein supreme in Time Machine.
    Reset TM setup.. See A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
    Make sure the 2TB drive is mounted when you redo the TM setup.
    To be honest.. I would also buy CCC and do a full clone of the drive..
    TM is great for the occasional file loss.. but it is lousy to restore a drive. CCC at the moment is $40 or so and IMHO money well spent.

    I use it but just to say I have no connection to them..

    I am a new user to apple and have external hard drives from previous computers.  I have many documents I can no longer access and change as they say the drives are read only.  How do I change the read only to read and write etc for these external drives.  I tried Get Info but this did not assist.  Thanks.

  • How do i put movies on my hard drive into itunes? so frustrated please help

    I just got my 80G iPod and i cant seem to figure it out. Please help.

    Well my buddy has his own movies on his iPod that he did not buy from the iTunes Store(i cannot call to ask him how), and the guy at the Apple store told me that yes it is possible to put your own movies onto your iTunes by converting the movie to the right format- and he said that you can purchase Quicktime Pro and it will make it the right format- but i was wondering if there was a different way.

  • What is the Best Hard Drive for a Powerbook Pismo 200 and best size for sto

    I have a Power book G3 Pismo 2000 which came with a 10 GB Hard Drive. It is almost full and I want to upgrade the Hard drive to a bigger and I do not know the best hard drive and what is the maximum space I will need? Can you recommend size and Manufacture?

    I bought a 80GB Toshiba for my Pismo. It seems to work well. I believe the largest drive that will be fully recognized is a 120GB drive.
    Here's a good place to see your options. Go to this web page at OWC and get a listing of your upgrade options for your Mac model.

    You can get the product models and specs, and shop around, but OWC has pretty good prices.
