ITunes deleting movies from iPad....

Hi all,
Latest version of iTunes and iOS on my Macbook Pro and iPad 2.
Background:
I sync this iPad with my MBP for travelling purposes - via the USB cord. The MBP iTunes library uses 2 external HD's for Movies and TV Shows. Music is actuall on the MBP.
I usually connect the drives, launch iTunes and load moves and TV Shows on the iPad and all is well.
Sometimes however, I do not connect the drives and notice that lately, iTunes will delete some of the already loaded media mentioned above from the iPad. It does NOT delete all movies or all shows, just random ones.
This is NEW behaviour since upgrading to iOS 5 and latest iTunes. (not sure which is the culprit) In the past, when syncing wihtout the drives, iTunes left the media on the iPad. I still want this to be the case!
Am I missing a simple check box here - or is this a weird one?
Thanks,
Stu

Obviously I was dreaming.....

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.

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.

ITunes Deleting movies from library

When you delete a movie from iTunes and tell iTunes to move it into the trash, it doesn't. The file doesn't get deleted until you restart you computer.
Looking through the folder systems. The files chosen to be deleted are gone, but the trash shows empty and the available hard disk space hasn't changed in response to them being deleted.
Maybe a trash similar to that of iPhoto should be introduced so you have a trash within itunes.

When I delete things from iTunes they do wind up in the regular trash, sometimes you need to wait a minute (it looks empty briefly) but that is where they do go so you can undelete them if you want.

Cannot delet movies from ipad air 2

I go into movies, press edit and delete the movie, it does not show up in 'usage' but it is still taking up storage space.
If I go into iTunes I can see several movies and TV programmes that are supposed to be deleted but are still on the device but I have no way to delete them.
I have hard rest the ipad several times but it makes not difference.
This is the first time I have had this problem. Maybe user error?
ipad air 2 running latest iOS.
Thanks

Found a solution.
Log out of iTunes store and log back in again!

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.

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.

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.

How do I delete movies from iTunes library? I have moved them to the iCloud and now only seem to have the option to hide the icon in iCloud. I am sure I chose poorly at the 'keep file' window. Please help. My Brain hurts- 18 movies need to go-.

Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:

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.

Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

How do I Transfer an iTunes rented movie from my iPhone 5 to iTunes or iPad?

It says
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

I have experienced great difficulty deleting photos from iPad I have followed advice and synced with computer and iTunes and deleted from computer and then synced again but managed to get hundreds more unwanted photos.

I have had great difficulty deleting photos from iPad I have followed advice and connected to computer and iTunes but cannot find anywhere to click on delete I also deleted photos fro computer and synced again and then found hundreds of more photos on iPad which were unwanted at the same time I lost a film I had purchased from iTunes and The soundtrack of film from iPod

Photos that were synced from your computer you should be able to delete by movin/removing them from where they were synced from and then re-syncing (or de-selecting the whole folder if you want to remove the entire album from the iPad).
Photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. They should also appear in Windows Explorer on PC where you can delete them, and in iPhoto on a Mac you can delete them after importing.

How can I delete photos from iPad but not iCloud?

Before setting up iCloud, my girlfriend downloaded photos from her camera to her iPad. We now have iCloud set up, but the photos on her iPad remain in the "Photos" album instead of Photo Stream. I would like to delete the photos from the iPad to free up storage space, and move them to the Macbook. I'm guessing that I would need to somehow move them to Photo Stream then delete the old album where they were stored on the iPad... Any ideas?
