How can I permanently delete purchased movies or TV shows from itunes?

You can't currently permanently delete items, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding.  At the moment you can't hide items directly on iOS 6 devices, but you should be able to do it via your computer's iTunes.

  • How do I permanently delete purchases?

    I delete a purchased song from itunes and send it to recycle bin.  But the next time I sync, itunes automatically transfers it back to my library.  How do I permanently delete purchased items?  This problem seemed to start once I started using icloud.

      Why would icloud be designed to continue transferring songs I want deleted?
    Because people are stupid and "accidentally" delete stuff all the time that they did not intend to delete.

  • TS1702 How do you permanently delete purchased apps from itunes?

    How do I permanently delete purchased apps from itunes on my iphone?

    I have spent a good part of my evening trying to figure this out then finally found this page which confirms what I was thinking... It doesn't appear possible! ARHHHH!!! There are loads of posts saying how you can do this, when what they appear to be describing is how to remove the apps from their iphone/ipad and not actually from the list of every app you have ever installed which appears when you go into the "Apps Store" > Updates > Not on this iPhone.
    It would be really nice to be able to remove programs from this list as I am sure I am not the only person who over the years have installed some apps which where not very good and I don't want to be reminded of them or to ever see them again quite frankly.
    I can do this very easily from my Android phone in Google Play which is Google's version of the App Store.
    I think things like this remind me why I prefer the ease of use of my Android phone... Ho hum! Maybe one day some geeks at Apple will realise that this would actually be a really useful thing to be able to do and enable it.

  • How do I permanently delete a movie I downloaded from my itunes account?

    I deleted a movie that I downloaded. Then when I signed in on a different computer the movie was there again. How can I permanently delete it from my account?

    Hi, sophiaskoub.
    Thank you for the question.  The most common cause for this is having Automatic Downloads enabled on the secondary computer.  See the first article on how to disable this feature.  The other attached articles cover how to delete media from iTunes and hiding any purchases that have been made.

  • How do I batch delete all my protected music files from iTunes.

    Hi, in a moment of stupidity, while I was working on a backup folder of my friends files (from his broken computer - copied them to my PC so he could get them back onto his new PC) I managed to copy all of his songs from his iTunes folder into my iTunes library. I don't know how I managed to do this, maybe it was the fact that I was really tired at the time.
    I own all my music - none of my music is copy protected (it is either downloaded from legal sites where the bands themselves [usually unknown or alternative artists] release their music, or I ripped the music from CD's I bought) and all of his music is copy protected.
    Now thing is, I have upgraded my PC before realising I did this, so now I don't have the original iTunes library (formatted PC and reinstalled XP from scratch) - is there any tools out there that will find and delete all your copy protected files from iTunes?
    I could go through song by song and when it comes up with the "Authorise computer - This computer is not authorised to play "******" Would you like to authorise it" and delete those songs, but as this is a very slow and time consuming process and considering I have 8,551 songs, I would prefer a faster way.
    I would go and re-rip all the songs, as I have the original discs, but this would take very long, and put quite a bit of strain on my CD drive, and this would not account for all the songs I have spent years finding on the internet/demo songs from friends bands.
    Any help is appreciated, as I would love to be able to remove all of his songs so they don't keep popping up in my iTunes library
    Thanks in advance.
    Dale.

    I have never tried this and am not at a computer with iTunes, but can you delete from a Smart Playlist? If so, you could make a smart playlist that shows songs that are of kind Protected ACC. Then select all and delete from that playlist. But I am not so sure if you can delete from a smart playlist.

  • How do you retrieve deleted purchased movies and backing up purchased movies in iTunes 10.5.3?

    I'm hoping that someone would be able to assist me.  I've naively deleted some purchased movies from my macbook air believing that I could re-download them from the icloud, as you can do with TV shows, music, apps and books, at a future date, but it seems like I'm wrong.  I was wondering if someone can point me to a solution to this issue.
    Secondly, now that I've discovered that am unable to restore these movies, I was wondering if someone can point me in the direction of how to backup my purchased movies to a Data DVD, as used to available in iTunes 10.3, but is no longer available in iTunes 10.5.3.  According to Apple's technical support (knowledge base), I need to purchase a Time Capsule.
    Any help would be much appreciated.  Kind regards,
    James.

  • Itunes 7.1 deleted all movies and tv shows from ipod!

    Just updated Itunes to 7.1 - and found out too late that both movies and tv shows were suddenly unchecked for the sync. I've always had them on auto sync before this and did not change any settings.
    So when I synched for the first time with 7.1, I lost my 20gb of videos from the ipod (60gb). Extremely annoying.
    They're still in the library but it will take hours to get them back to the ipod.
    Anybody else got this? Is this a bug on 7.1 or did I just do something wrong?

  • If I purchase a movie or TV show from iTunes and they decide not to make it available to me any more, do they give back my money?

    My wife purchased Pride and Prejudice TV show over a year ago.
    Now the screen says "This TV show is no longer available on the iTunes Store."
    Does this mean that they only renter it to us? When I purchase anything that gives me a piece of hardware I can use it again and again until I replace it or dispose of it. One of the sales points for online services like iTunes is that you never worry about damage or loss.
    Why is it they claim to sell you something they do NOT intend on allowing you access to for the life of your account?
    If I wish to purchase something it comes at a significant less cost.
    I understand there must be a small clause in the agreement that allows them to back out of their agreements, but now I am reconsidering "purchasing" from iTunes again.

    It is not Apple that decides this. Since Apple is just the retailer, they do not own the copyrights to the content they sell on the iTunes store, if the copyright owner decides to remove something from the store that you have purchased Apple must abide by the terms of their licenseing agreements and remove it. Regretablly this also removes the items from your purchase history. This is why it is up to you to download and backup all of your purchases if you wish to maintain your investment.
    In the Apple KB article Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore and iTunes Store, and in many other places, it is clearly stated:
    It is recommended that you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store. For more information about backing up your library, see this article.

  • Can not transfer Movies or TV Shows from iTunes to Apple TV any more

    Hi,
    I've been having syncing problems lately, but this latest one I can't solve. My iMac is running 10.6.3 with iTunes 9.1.1 (11). When I sync between the Mac and the Apple TV, everything (music, photos, podcasts, playlists) gets copied except movies and TV shows I've purchased through iTunes.
    I've tried automatic sync, custom sync with the movies and TV shows selected. I've tried 'Transfer Purchases', but all I ever get is the "Syncing Apple TV" message with the 'busy' bar, and no actual progress.
    Can anyone suggest anything else I can try? I've been through the solutions in this forum already, and nothing has worked

  • My new Ipod touch will not sync movies and tv shows from Itunes

    When I try to transfer movies and tv shows I bought from Itunes I get the message saying that my device is not compatible.
    I have been on the phone to Itune support for about 30hours++ . I have been reissued a new Ipod touch but this problem is reoccuring.
    I registered my new Ipod touch under another account but I have activated home sharing on my computer.
    Can anyone suggest anything that Apple support cannot solve Thanks

    What happens when you try to connect to the Wi-Fi? Any error messages? Have you tried a hard reset of the iPod?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, work through the remaining troubleshooting suggestions in this Apple support document.

  • Streaming Movies and TV Shows from iTunes is very, very slow since recent update

    I have an Apple TV 2nd generation and since I updated it to the latest firmware available, that came out last week with the announcement of a new Apple TV, streaming content from iTunes servers, Movies and TV Shows, has become a nightmare. I don't think it is due to the firmaware update as I think it is due to the lack of capacity of the servers. As recent as last week everything worked fine. I would just press play and the TV Show would start almost immediatly and the streaming was fast enough that all the TV Show, past the point I was watching, was downloaded, without any delay or having to stop to rebuffer. The first time I noticed it was on monday this week and since then I have been testing streaming directly from iTunes every now and then and it never came back to work the way it did. I know the problem isn't my network. I have a 20 Mbits connection and download content at 2 Mbytes/sec on avarage.
    And I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that Apple has made available content in 1080p, and that maybe it is stressing its servers even more. What I do know is that the way it is working right now undermine the entire concept of what Apple TV should be like. It has to work just the way it did when Eddy Cue gave a demonstration of the new Apple TV on Wednesday, the content played authenticated immediatly and started playing, without long time buffering. "People are going to love streaming movies and TV shows in 1080p with the new Apple TV", said Philip Schiller. But I can't even stream 720p content.

    I am also experiencing intermittent streaming from the cloud with 1080p content. My internet package is pretty decent with 25MB and when I download a show on iTunes, it shows a download speed of 22MB so all is well with my connection to apple. The only way I can stream content without any interruptions is to change the settings on the AppleTV3 to 720p.
    I called my ISP and applied for a 50MB package and see it it helps.

  • Why does it take so long to download movies and tv shows from itunes

    I can download songs pretty quickly from itunes, but movies and tv shows take anywhere from 12-24 hours.  Is there anything I can do to speed this up?

    If you are downloading at work more than likely your bandwith is being throttled by your company.  If your using a Mac, download a little utility called "MenuMeter" It runs in the menu bar and will display your connection speed.If your on a windows machine similar utilities are available as well. Once you find out what your speed is.it'll be much easier to trouble shoot!
