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.

    How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

    Since iTunes Match nor iCloud supports storing video content at this time (other than music videos purchased from the iTunes Store) what you want to do is not possible. There may be other cloud storage solutions out there, but none that integrate with iTunes.
    FYI, if any of the movies are purchased from the iTunes Store the service Apple calls iTunes in the Cloud by be a partial solution for you. However it is strongly recommended that keep a local backup of all your purchased media and not depend solely on a third party (Apple) to keep your data safe.

  • How do i delete movies from my laptop and keep them on icloud?

    i am trying to free up room on my laptop and want to delete all my movies off the harddrive but do not want to loose them in icloud

    Use services like dropbox, Google drive or One Drive to back up your pictures and then delete it from your phone or save it to your computer.
    You cant do it with icloud because, its like a sync service. if you delete it from your phone, it'll be deleted from icloud too..

  • IPad air and deleting movie rental problems

    Hi everyone, new to the forums so I'm sorry if I've posted in the wrong section... I recently rented two films from iTunes, which I now want to delete but I can't work out how to do so? I am able to delete films I've purchased but I can find no way or option to delete rentals. I've tried via my iPad and also via iTunes on my laptop.. Surely I'm being a total idiot and doing something wrong lol?
    I'd be really grateful if someone could tell me how I solve this?
    Many Thanks in advance

    They're definately there, I'm looking at them right now, taking up space on my iPad.. There's just no option to delete them

  • Can I delete something from my library, yet keep it on my iPod?

    I'm REALLY OCD about my disk space, and recently I decided that all my tv shows have got to go somewhere else. I want to keep them on my iPod but not on my Mac. Is there a way of deleting them and then making sure the iPod doesnt update tv shows anymore, thus leaving them on the iPod?
    thanks~~

    Would be best to back up your shows on an external hard drive or DVD-R or to CD-R. iPods are meant to be synced with the iTunes library, not to be used as storage and transfer devices of music and videos (although they can be).
    You can set your iPod to "manage music manually" by selecting the checkbox when the iPod is synced to iTunes. Keep in mind if you ever change that setting back to autosync and the TV show or other files are not in iTunes, it will be erased from your iPod forever. If you go this route you MUST always add or delete songs manually, which could become tedious if you have 80 Gb of files for example.
    Or you can set you iPod to for "Disk Use" and copy the file to the iPod using the Finder, but you won't be able to play the file.
    Your best bet is to first back things up on to media such as another hard drive or DVD or CD.

  • 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.

  • How do I delete movie from iCloud on my iPad

    How do I delete movies from iCloud on my iPad

    That's a big fat lie, I have 10 movies via digital copy and takes 0 space from my icloud backup. & we have 5 devices backup to my icloud account AND I have my backup storage to basic 5GIGS. So right there you say to make you pay more storage is a BIG FAT LIE. Our devices contains 8-64GB's and everything fits in a 5gigs space.
    You might as add well the apps accounts for space to. WRONG!!
    Those apps are in your account but not in your storage, the iTunes App Store part, doesn't even add to your icloud storage. Your backup contains the save files, network routers you connected in the past plus the small layout how you customized it over your home page.
    That part takes small kb of space needed to save all that.
    Movies on your device will take storage but if it's NOT on your device, IT WONT!
    Like I said, once it's added to the account via key from the case to your account, stays tie to your account & will NOT take space from your icloud backup storage.
    And don't even forgt that I have 5 device from my family with 10 digital copies on one storage with 5gigs and have 800's MB left. We use our photo/videos we took from camera to a remote secure site onto our computers.
    Simple as that, if you don't listen to that then I feel sorry for you not listening.
    But your not gonna get any other answers besides logging out what I said months back. GOOD DAY!
    Ps. If there were, you've been already got an answer besides mine. Go ahead and waist your life lookn for an answer which doesn't have an answer to other than that what I said.
    And yes, that's what I meant JJorvath. Hide it but will not get off your account bc it's not part of icloud backup.

  • I deleted movies from my ipad I had bought on my ipad, how do I redownload these on my computer?

    I deleted movies from my ipad I had bought on my ipad, how do I redownload these on my computer?

    Tap the iTunes app icon on the iPad to launch it. Then tap the Purchased Tab on the bottom of the iTunes window. That will take you a window that shows all of your iTunes purchases. Tap the View button on the top left and you can choose music or TV shows from the resulting menu. Select TV shows. You can enter the name of the show in the search and if the show appears, tap the TV show name in the list on the left, then tap the TV Show icon in the window on the right and then tap on the cloud icon in the next window that pops up to download it.

  • 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.

    Have you checked that the App is compatable with your 2nd Gen iPod and its iOS version...
    The 2nd Gen can Only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • Ive deleted movies from itunes which has removed them from apple tv, i still have them on my ipad, is there any way i can get them back into itunes?

    ive deleted movies from itunes which has removed them from apple tv, i still have them on my ipad, is there any way i can get them back into itunes?

    If the movies were rentals then no.
    If the movies are purchases and you have the iTunes 10.4 then you should be able to access the 'cloud' option from in the main iTunes page  - purchases - (upper right corner) and go from there.
    You should also have the option to transfer purchases from the iPad back into iTunes. I don't have an iPad but you can transfer purchases from the iPod/iPhone back to iTunes.

  • How can I delete movie from my itunes

    How can I delete movie from my itunes on cpmputer?

    I think I found a solution to this problem. Go into the Video app and tap on TV Shows and then tap on the icon for the show that is downloading. Next to each episode, there is a circle with a square in the middle of it. Tap the square next to each episode and it will disappear both from that list and and from the downloading queue in the iTunes app. When you want to download a particular episode, go back into the show in the Video season and tap on Show Complete Season. Now each episode has its own Download button.
    Needless to say, it is insane that when you redeem a season purchase on the iPad, it insists on downloading the entire season.

  • How to transfer movies from an app to my new phone

    I have some movies from an app called video downloader, I need to transfer them from my iphone5 to my iphone 6. Can I do that? The only thing that itunes did was copied the app, but not its content.

    I only wanted the songs from the CD that I downloaded to my itunes and not lose all the songs i had. It said it would erase and then sync. I figured out though. I switch to manually manage music and videos and then sync and just the album downloaded. Songs not lost.

  • How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?

    How do I get the music back on my iPhone after manually deleting it from the device (to get space for photos/videos)?  I can sync with iTunes but it doesn't copy these songs back, even though they still appear in my iTunes library.  I can click on the Music link  under 'On My Device' in iTunes and the missing songs all appear to still be on the device, but they are not.  I normally delete using iTunes and do not have this issue.  This time I was out and needed more space to shoot photos and videos so I removed a lot of music from my phone through the Music App.

    The songs I'm trying to reload on my phone are on my PC.  These we had loaded into iTunes.  I can remove them all from the library and then add them all back one by one I imagine.  The problem I'm having is that I removed them manually from the phone, they still appear in iTunes music library yet they won't sync.  I don't want to take the time to compare the phone to my library, remove from the library what's missing on the phone and then add them all back again.  64GB (mostly music) will take a while.
