Is it safe to delete TV shows from my HDD

Basically a repeat of this question : "Now that my tv shows are in the cloud, is it safe to delete them from my hard drive to make more room? Theoretically, I can redownload them if needed, or is it best to have a physicsl backup of them?"
The answer they got was : "iCloud is still in Beta. I would recommend that you try with one show, make a copy of it and then try out. But wait until iCloud and Lion 10.7.2 is out." However, this was in august 2011.
I was wondering if iCloud is out of beta yet (i don't recall the word beta being written next to it any of the times i've seen it) and it would now be safe to do so. I'm running out of room on my hard drive so i was considering getting a time capsule to store new films, but if i can just delete tv shows my problem will be sovled for quite a while.

iCloud is no longer in beta.
At this time, not all content are eligible for redownload.
Go to the iTunes store > purchased > TV shows | music | movies
You will then have the list of all the content that you redownload.
You can make backups if you want of the one that can't be redownloaded.
if you want to backup the others, you can do it but it will take some space on your HD.
Cheers

How do I delete TV shows from showing on Apple TV?

How do I delete TV shows from showing on Apple TV? or from showing in the list on my iPad? Can I delete them from iCloud somehow? Too much clutter...some of these are just pilots I didn't like, or teasers of upcoming shows, or just single episodes I don't want to have to wade through anymore.

If you mean your purchased TV Shows, you can hide your purchases, which you can do from the QuickLinks > Purchased option from the main page in the iTunes Store on your computer.

Can't delete tv shows from ipad

I Can't delete tv shows from the iPad. I've verified the option to show all videos (including cloud is off). I don't get the x to delete, only the iCloud symbol but there are three show definitely on the iPad.

Were you or somebody else streaming these TV shows at one point? When that happens to me, I have to download the show completely to my iPad, then delete it.
If you were streaming the shows, or even if you weren't, download one of the shows and then try to delete it.

How can I delete tv shows from itunes?

Hello, Maybe you could go to iTunes and delete or move those files from there. Open up iTunes-------->In the top right corner go to Ipad------->once you are there, in the top part, you will find were it says Summary/Apps/Tones/Music/etc...on there click on Movies or Tv Shows, not sure where you have those videos. Once you are there you will see Little boxes right by the Movie name, those boxes have a check on them...which means they are synced on your Ipad. If you don't want them anymore click those boxes so the check disapears. If you don't want any of those files just in the Top tittle were it says: Sync Tv Shows, if there is a Check on the box...click the box so the Check dissapears and now click "Sync" at the bottom, and booom all the series have dissapeared from your Ipad I hope this helped and if you have any other questions please don't be shy to ask....

How do I delete radio shows from iTunes and my iPod at the same time?

I have a lot of old time radio shows on my iPod. First, I copy them from iTunes to listen to on my iPod. When I am done, I want to delete BOTH of them at the same time. I am trying to avoid having to search for both because, for some reason, I cannot search both the iTunes and the iPod content at the same time. I obviously do not want them synced. In the previous version of iTunes, I was able to do with a key command. Now, I cannot figure out how to do it. ( I really wish there was a way I could color each selection so that I can find which ones I copied to the iPod easily. You know, just like how it's done in the operating system, where we can add the color label.)
Anyway, is there a way to do what I want, or am I stuck with searching separately, and then deleting them separately? Laborious indeed. Oh, yes, the duplicate function doesn't work here because you can't search both the iPod and iTunes at the same time.
Thanks in advance to all you smartie-pants out there.

when you purchas e a tv show from the itunes music store and then sync it to the ipod. there will appear a new name in th evideo subsection of videos on the ipod called tv shows thats where they will be and where you can watch the,.

Thanks again, now I just need to figure out how to manually download my Podcasts. lol I'm going to buy the iPod book...I'm so lame with machines. Really, I just hate reading the instructions.

I hope you had fun at the parties...They are the best part, I agree. Robbin

Delete/Erasing shows from my AppleTV? How does memory work?

I am completely confused as to deleteing material and freeing up memory as well as how things will automatically delete.
When I have shows listed in my menus (My TVshows, My Movies) sometimes there is a little trash can next to them to erase, and other times that option is not there. I have no idea why this option is appearing and disappearing.
Is there any system (like a DVR) that once you have watched shows the AppleTV will make room for new shows by deleting old shows? I dont think so, right? I think it just creates a list in the "downloading" menu of stuff to download once memory is free.
Is there some kind of alert when the memory is full that you need to erase shows to make room for new shows?
I did another post about this, but in case someone can answer, once you delete a show it is gone for good, right? If I want to download it again, it says I have to "rebuy" it.

Do not rush to factory restore before looking into things further, especially if your unit shipped with software 1.0.
AppleTV1 was never designed to run completely standalone - it is linked at the hip with iTunes.
AppleTV1 was designed to be synced with media from iTunes which appears in My Music, My Movies etc.
If it's full and iTunes is running you will also see content under My Music etc that will stream from the computer on demand provided itunes is running (unless you turn this option off in iTunes).
When configured to sync with iTunes AppleTv goes into an Auto sync mode where it decides what to copy over to the unit - so unwatched material before watched etc. You can customise this if you want under various Device Settings tabs displayed when selecting an AppleTV Device in itunes (left hand side) - do you see an icon? If not it may not be synced to this itunes.
Later the ability to purchase directly arrived too, but the idea was for purchases made on the unit to sync back to iTunes to keep the devices 'in sync' and to allow for backups. The trash can I believe only appears for items purchased on it. so you could manually delete them.
There is also a streaming only mode to connect additional itunes libraries on other computers 'My Shared Music etc'.
See here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1143
Previously if things you bought on the unit did not sync back to itunes and AppleTv failed or there was a problem with 'reverse sync' (my term) that prevented it working you might not be able to salvage that content and could not redownload it.
We need to know what software version you have - Settings>About (3.02 is the last one), and if you have the unit synced with iTunes still - does an icon appear in itunes under Devices (right click it and Transfer Purchases if you can to copy stuff over to iTunes bought on the unit directly).
Last year/early this year Apple has sensibly allowed users to redownload any previous account purchases from the itunes Store in itunes - ensure you have latest version of iTunes and navigate to teh store home page - on the right under Quick Links you should see Purchased - here will be a list of things you can redownload for free under that itunes account. The catch? So far movies only available for redownload in the US and not all studios are on board. Other content can be redownloaded in many countries, but if an item is no longer in the store or has changed somehow (think of a change in the product code) it won't be available. Check here to see what you could salvage by redownloading for free.
Factory restore will put you back to shipping software and delete any synced media from the unit - some say purhcases made on Apple TV remain if not 'reverse synced' but I would not rely on this unless it was a last resort to restore it.

HT1391 I am having trouble deleting tv shows from my account.

I need help deleting files from my iTunes acct.

It's not currently possible to permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible (so they won't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading) : hiding and unhiding. If you are on iOS 6 on your iPad then you will need to do the hiding via your computer's iTunes, hiding doesn't currently work directly on iOS 6.
You should be able to delete from your computer's iTunes library (by selecting and deleting), and from the Videos app on your iPad (press and hold the the show on the programme selection tab)

How can I delete tv shows from the iCloud on my Apple TV?

I recently purchased Apple TV (3rd gen) and need to delete a tv show that appears there. There's no trash can icon on the screen as some posts state--just an iCloud icon. How do I delete an item from the iCloud so it will no longer appear on the Apple TV?

You can't hide it AFAIK on AppleTV - do it via iTunes.
In iTunes elect the store home page, and choose Purchases in teh QuickLinks on the right.
Choose TV Shows and hover over the one to hide and there should be a small x to hide it.
If you need it back go into your actual account settings in iTunes and choose to unhide there.

How to delete TV shows from my account?

A friend downloaded FREE episodes of a TV show on my iPad using my iTunes account. I didn't pay much attention to it. After syncing my iPad and my iPhone I noticed one TV Show he downloaded that now is available to download to any device I sync on my computer. I would like to delete that purchase and after reading how to Report a Problem I tried the method, but since both episodes are free I couldn't get an option on the "Reason". So I would love to know how to delete that purchase from my account. Anybody has any idea? I already tried through iTunes >Account>Purchases>Report a Problem and cannot advance any further.
Any help will be appreciatted.

There is currently no way to do this.

Deleting tv shows from ipad 1

I'm not sure what the problem is...ever since I've downloaded the new OS 5.0.1, I've had problems with my ipad. Some I haven't been able to resolve. My latest problem is that I can't delete tv shows, music, movies, and books from the ipad 1. I've tried highlighting the item, then right-clicking on the mouse, but there isn't a delete icon. I've tried highlighting the item, then finding delete under the Edit button, but it's shaded. These tv shows are taking up most of my memory and I can't get them off the gadget! Thanks for any suggestions.

If you are trying to delete the items in iTunes on your computer (you mentioned the mouse) click on the item to highlight it and then hit the delete key on your keyboard. You will be warned that it will be removed from your device when you sync. This will delete the items permanently.
You should be able to deselect the items in iTunes and then sync again to remove them as well.
As Marian suggested you can tap and hold down on a TV Show or Movie icon on the iPad (in the videos app) and an X will popup. Tap the X to delete.
You can do the same thing with albums in the Music app as well as swiping across individual songs - Lightly with your finger left to right - to bring up the red delete button.
