I am trying to delete a video

I am trying to delete a video from my iPhone 4S. I connect my iPhone to computer, open iTunes, select the video and go to File to select delete, the delete option is ghosted and will not allow me to select it. How can I delete this video that I have no idea how it got on my phone and is taking up storage?

Disregard, finally figured it out.

  • I am trying to delete a video that is downloading on my iPhone.

    I downloaded a few videos to my iPhone and it is taking too long to do so.  I wanted to stop them and delete them but cannot do so. Any suggestions?

    You are sure that you still have a balance on your account - if it's zero then it might not show. My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iOS devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store and it should show on the screen that you are taken to)

  • I'm trying to delete a movie and it says...operation can't be completed because the item "     ".m4v is un use.  I've shut down the computer, closed out of everything etc.  I don't know what else to do?

    I'm trying to delete a video to free up space on my mac.  I've moved it to trash and when I try to empty the trash it keeps coming up with...."The operation cannot be completed because the item " .........  .m4v is in use".  I'm not exactly computer literate - I don't even know what the m4v is, but I've read some discussions saying to shut down the computer - which I did - nothing everything else I've found on the m4v is too technical for me to grasp.  Can anyone help me?

    Sorry, didn't notice that you cd'd into that directory. Can't explain why you can't delete it, but I don't do server or NAS stuff. You might want to repost to the Unix forum.

    Hi Sukrit,
    Thanks for answering
    Here is my workflow:
    - open file explorer in Windows 8.1
    - look for something.pdf I want to check in any dir;
    - click on it: opened by Adobe reader (default)
    - read and decide what to do
    - close Adobe reader (red X upright corner)
    - as needed try to suppress in file explorer it by selecting the filename and punch the 'Supp' key (french kbd) or del (Intl kbd)
    This is where it says 'impossible to delete, file used by another program"
    Same if I try to rename or move: conclusion: the handle take a good while before closing.
    Now I find that it takes about 20 to 30 second to close the handle, then "DEL" or "RENAME" work
    But any time I try DEL or RENAME this delay starts again running:
    But 20 secs is too much and makexs it difficult to concentrate on the job.
    What I do now:  remember (paper, immortal paper, paper everywhere!) what I want to del and do that at the end of my session
    Hope Adobe will have a look at the issue!
    Thanks & Bye

  • I'm trying to download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no more room and that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download more movies. How do I delete the videos in order to order more?

    I'm trying to purchase and download a movie, but I keep getting message error that I have no space. The error states that I must delete some photos or videos in order to download. I've gone to iPod then edit and deleted some videos, but I'm still getting the message. What is the correct way to delete the videos and should they still be there.

    They wont still be there if you delete them,but if you have those same photos on the main computer.

  • Hi, just need to know how to get my music, video, pictures and apps form my iPhone to my new laptop as the old computer, which I used before was stolen. I only have my phone left and if I try to conect it to my new laptop it's trying to delete everything.

    I have also noticed all my settings won't stay set, example....I removed the check mark from "third party cookies", the when I close Firefox and reopen the check mark is back, also my tool bar has screwed up....can't reset, been having trouble the up grade.

  • HT1725 I've followed the advice to re-commence downloading an interrupted video but I still keep getting an error message. I then deleted the video to start again but the original is still trying to download in the iTunes app. Any ideas what I can do? Tha

    I started downloading a video from iTunes last night on my ipad when my wifi dropped out. Once I'd reconnected my wifi I tried to recommence the download but it kept saying that download was not available at this time. I then tried the steps in iTunes help but got the same message. Finally, I deleted the video (the part that had downloaded) from my video section and tried to start the download again from the start. However, when I go to iTunes it's still trying to download the original and even this morning I'm still getting the error message. Any ideas what I could do to get the video downloaded? I currently only have access to my ipad. Thanks.

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?
    I am running Yosemitie on a  iMac.

  • I am trying to download a video on my Ipad 2 but it says my storage is full and to delete Photo or videos but i don't have any

    Look at the capacity bar of the iPad in iTunes -  at the bottom of the screen in the iTunes window while the iPad is connected to sync - and make sure that you do have enough space left on the device. If you do have nought space left - quit iTunes, restart the computer and restart the iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can also try a reset and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I tried to import a video into iMovie. Its says their is not enough space on the destination disk. I deleted many projects, and events. Nothing changed. What files do I delete and how?

    I tried to import a video into iMovie. Its says their is not enough space on the destination disk. I deleted many projects, and events. Nothing changed. What files do I delete and how?

    Hard drive full or near full:
    You are going to have to delete, move or archive your data to regain hard drive space.
    Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
    If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
    If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
    Other things you can do to gain space.
    Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive older emails you want to save.
    Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
    Again, archive or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
    Uninstall apps that you no longer use. If the app has a dedicated uninstaller, use it to completely uninstall the app. If the app has no uninstaller, then just drag it to the OS X Trash icon  and empty the Trash.
    Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
    When you install and launch it, let it do its thing initially, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run all of the processes in the tabs. Let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
    Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
    If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be moved, also, to the external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
    You may have to Purchase an external FireWire or Thunderbolt hard drive to move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
    Good Luck!

    Open Activity Monitor by searching it in spotlight.
    Go to the app that you downloaded & quit it. If it won't quit then Force Quit.

  • I have a big mail problem. I foolishly tried to send a video photo by email.  Not surprisingly, it was taking a very great deal of time so I eventually deleted the 'send'. But, now the system keeps copying the deleted email and attachment

    My email program has got itself gummed up due t my foolishly trying to send a video attachment. I eventually 'stopped' the 'send' but the system has brought in a 'Recovered files' heading and has retained the email complete with video attachment and keeps copying the darned thing. I keep deleting but it still comtinues copying. Once there were 45 copies. Please can someone tell me how to get rid of the files.

    The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

  • Everytime I start a new text message there is already a video attachment in the message.  I tried removing it , resetting the phone, deleting that video, etc..no help.  If I start a new text, the video is embedded by default, help.

    Everytime I start a new text message there is already a video attachment in the message.  I tried removing it , resetting the phone, deleting that video, etc..no help.  If I start a new text, the video is embedded by default, help.  Its almost as if its a part of my signature but its not.  I took the video from an email message, and sent it via sms/mms to a friend, since then it just appear in every new message I create, regardless of who it is going to.  I thought maybe imessage got messed up so I turned it off and back on, still there.

    I ended up resetting my phone by erasing all contents and settings.  Not ideal, but I was getting pretty frustrated with it.  Anyway, it worked.  I hope Apple figures this out cause I don't want to have to reset again if this happens again.  good luck.

  • I have deleted two videos off my Iphone 5 and I'm getting an error message when trying to log into iCloud

    Hi,
    I ahve deleted 2 videos by mistake and was wondering if they would be on my iCloud?

    If they were in your camera roll and on your phone when you last backed up, they would be included in your iCloud backup.  If you restored the entire backup you should recover them.
