IPhone not deleting Rented Movies

I have rented 2 movies over the last month. Both synced to my iPhone and have been were watched without any problem. They are now showing "Expired" on the iPhone, but when I sync using iTunes they do not delete. The iPhone is now full and I can't find a way to delete the movies. Can anyone help please?

Go to your list of rented movies on the phone, swipe your finger across the movies you don't want, and tap the red delete button.

  • No option to delete rented movie on iPad!

    I rented a movie on my MBP via iTunes and synced it to my iPad. It ended up expiring and now I see that it is on my iPad, but there is no option to delete it. From iTunes, there is no option to sync or delete rented movies any more (the whole rental section of the Movie tab is GONE when I sync my iPad.
    I un-synced all my movies, but that deleted other movies i had synced, not the rental!
    What is going on here? I have nearly 2 GB eaten up with a movie I can't watch or remove!

    I finally called Apple Support to get the answer to this question.
    1st, make sure you are signed in on your computer under the Apple ID that purchased the movie.
    2nd.  Go into the summary page of your device on ITunes. Near the bottom you will see "options".  In that section you will see "manually manage music and videos".  Select that option.
    3rd.  Then go to the "On this Phone" click the RENTAL sub section under your device. This depends on the version of ITunes you are using.
    4th. Right click the movie you want to delete.  The popup box with the delete option should appear.
    5th  After it deletes (which will take quite a while) remember to go back into Options and uncheck the option for"manually manage music and videos". 

  • Updated iTunes to latest version can'tairplay music but not a rented movie, is there a fix for this?, updated iTunes to latest version can airplay music but not a rented movie, is there a fix for this?

    updated iTunes to latest version can'tairplay music but not a rented movie, is there a fix for this?, updated iTunes to latest version can airplay music but not a rented movie, is there a fix for this?

    Do you really mean the latest, as in 11.0.1?  That was supposed to include a fix for Airplay.

  • TS3623 Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.

    Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.
    I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

    Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
    In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
    Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.

  • How to move movies onto my IPod/IPhone without deleting the movies that are currently on it.

    I had a bunch of movies at one point, and I was syncing them to my IPhone. My Mac crashed though and I lost all of my files. I backed up my computer, but the movies weren't included in the back-up. I have newer movies now and I can't seem to move them to my IPhone without deleting the ones currently on them. Please help, or if there is nothing I can do please tell me now so I can stop searching for an answer that's not there. Thanks.
    Also, I have an Apple IPhone 4, a Mac OS X 10.7.5, and ITunes

  • How to delete rented movie link

    I rented a movie from iTunes, but after it expired the cloud icon still appears in Video on iPad air, I can hide it but I want get rid of it!
    Thank you.

    HERE'S A SOLUTION:
    I just got off of the phone with Apple Tech Support. It seems that there is a toggle setting under Videos, which when turned on (green), instructs one's iPad to show all rented movies, whether expired, watched, or not. Simply switching the toggle to off is step 1. Once that's done, return to the Video > Rentals screen, and click on the Edit button in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Once that's done, an "X" will appear in the corner of each movie icon. Press the "x" on the movie(s) you wish to delete, and that's it.
    Why on earth Apple made this process so absurdly complicated, after being able to simply hold down the particular movie icon in earlier releases, I have no idea. But this solves it. Hope it helps.

  • Can not delete a movie file

    Hi there
    a couple of days ago i downloaded a movie file with .avi extension on the desktop of my mac from windows formatted ipod. and now i can not delete it, there is a small lock sign in the bottom and when i try to delete it says: the operation can not be completed because file is locked. Please help.

    Select the file, choose Get Info from the File menu, and uncheck the Locked checkbox. You should now be able to delete the file.

  • Apple TV2 not playing rented movies

    Hi folks,
    Here's a problem which I've discovered since the latest software update for the appleTV:
    I regularly rent movies via the iTunes store on my iPad2.  Usually in standard def.  I've had no trouble in the past viewing said videos on AppleTV - appearing in the top left of the Apple TV home screen under 'Purchased' or 'Rented' items.
    On Sunday past,  I rented a film in the same way only to find that the rental did not appear on my AppleTV - I even did the whole 'check for rentals' thing via settings, but to no avail.  In the end, as I had friends round to watch the movie, I had to rent the movie a second time via my appleTV.
    Phoned support last night who couldn't give me an explanation of why this might be, but did offer me a work-around - ie, play the movie on my iPad and send it via Airplay to my appleTV - I tried it last night while the guy from support was on the phone with me.  It worked with a rented movie on my iPad 'Stander'.  No problems.  So, I went ahead and rented 'In Time' on my iPad, sent to to Airplay as before only to get the message on my iPad 'Not authorised to play this content on the selected monitor device'.  However, the audio was playing via the AppleTV.  Tried again this morning to find that now not only isn't the audio not playing via AppleTV but I'm getting the yellow exclamation mark triangle on screen with the message 'Not Authorised to play this content'.
    There is nothing wrong with my hardware as far as I can tell.  Everything else works as it should.  This is a problem which has suddenly occured since the last firmware/software update for AppleTV. 
    Can someone offer me some help/explanation because Apple support both last night and today have been entirely useless.  While not able to offer me an explanation, they did however try to sell me extended phone support, which was nice...
    So yeah, if anyone else can offer me any help/suggestions, it'd be much appreciated!

    I don't recall rentals made on an iPad ever also being available on AppleTV direct - they're not supposed to be:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    It's a long time since I rented on an iPad so that's not to say it never happened I just don't recall that you werer supposed to be able do to this.
    Airplay however should work.
    Funnily enough I tried Airplaying a movie my kids had started to watch on teh AppleTV2 yesterday and got audio only.  This was from a local iTunes library so easy to do direct on the unit - I'd only tried Airplay as it should have continued from where they were watching rather than ahving to manually naviagte to there.

  • HT1657 Cannot delete rented movie from iPad library?

    Cannot delete a itunes movie rental download from library on iPad. How can I delete this movie?

    If you rented it directly on the iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app - if you can't find it in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • All of my safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I did not delete or move them

    My safari bookmarks have disappeared from all of my apple devices and I have not deleted or moved them. Any ideas on how I can recover them?

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:

    Quit Safari.
    Select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder

    A folder window should open. Restore the file named "Bookmarks.plist" in that folder from a backup that predates the unwanted changes.
