ITunes tells me I can't download movie. Not enough storage and u have enough

iTunes tells me I can't download movie. Not enough storage I have the space I think. It keeps sending me to settings help!

The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.
How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • I can't update to ios 7.1 and I have enough storage space

    I have tried updating to ios 7.1 and it said I did not have enough storage space.  I removed over 700 photos and the storage space is now 4.8 gb, but it still won't install.  I have tried switching off and on again to refresh the storage capacity, but the update still won't install.  Please help.

    Text messages containing photos & videos can take up a lot of space as well. That being said, if you have deleted these, check your Other space when connected to iTunes. This can take up a lot of space and can be addressed using Kappy's User Tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5142
    Good luck.

  • HT204406 Uploaded CD last night. I see it in itunes match. However can only download some of the songs. Few have the Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. It's a lighter icon then other download ones.

    I uploaded a CD last night. I see it in my ituned match on my work cpu. I can download 6 of the 10 songs. The other 4 have an Icon to download from Itunes Match, however it is not able to be clicked on. // See Pearl Jam Ten. I can download almost half the songs. The others remaining I cannot though they say they are available. I've reset the cache, I've closed and reopened Itunes, I have even turned MATCH off and then back on. Nothing is working. Please help. Also the song will not play. If I start the album, it skips over these songs.

    The number of Songs that 'matched' is simply a function of the current iTunes Match service process.  It is not unusual to have multiple Songs in an otherwise perfectly matched album be uploaded - often it is very possible to find the album in the iTunes Store.
    The Artwork does tend to reappear for many over a few days / weeks - however, if your library backup has all Artwork present it would be wise to save the Album Art separately and reapply to Albums not showing art work in the library grid view.
    Many of the other performance issues you mention are not typical - though during the past working week or so the Apple Infrastructure has been very heavily loaded with multiples countries having service go-live symultaneously.

  • Hard drive crashed awhile ago, got new one but now some of my purchased iTunes songs are showing they are downloaded but NOT in library and it won't let me download to library.  any help?

    Asking for help getting previous purchases on my ipod touch and iPad... my computer hard drive crashed and I replaced it.  My music was a mess.  I restored most back but some of my purchased music is saying it is downloaded but it is nowhere to be found.  I don't understand why I can't get the music I already paid for back in my library.  Any help?   would be appreciated... 

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Are you doing this?
    You have to sign in and download each iTunes account individually.

  • App Store says I have insufficient storage to download an app. Storage says I have enough local space for the app. What do I do?

    Cannot download an app because of insufficient storage, but the phone has plenty of local storage. Is this an incorrect diagnosis by the App Store? What do I do?

    Try restarting your iPhone by holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo. 

  • ITunes store says not enough storage. I have plenty. Help!

    I have 199 of 200 gigs free.  I bought more storage, thinking I needed it to download a movie I bought.  iTunes store keeps telling me can't download movie, not enough storage.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

    You can view the amount of free space that you currently have on your iPad via Settings > General > About > Available, and you can see the amount of space that each app is taking up via Settings > General > Usage > Manage Storage (under the 'storage' heading) - the size of the film should be shown on its description page in the store, if the film is in HD format then it could be over 5 gig in size.
    You can copy iTunes downloads over to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the iPad and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option - so if you currently have films and/or TV programmes on your iPad then you could copy them over to your computer and then delete them from your iPad to make room for the new film

  • HT4095 Can I download movies from iTunes to my iPad and watch them on line as well in case I don't have my iPad with me.

    I have a 16gig iPad mini with latest iOS software.
    Please can anyone advise on the following.
    If I buy a movie on iTunes, can I download it onto my iPad and keep it there?
    If I then delete it, can I download it again free?
    If I do not have my iPad with me, can I watch it online through iTunes?

    The film will need to be downloaded in order to watch it, you can't stream it from the store. Whether you can re-download a film will depend upon what country that you are in and whether it remains in the store (studios occasionally remove them). You are better off keeping your own backup copy of all of your downloads rather that relying on being able to re-download from the store in the future (you can copy purchases from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases)
    What can be re-downloaded where : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
    You can also get wifi-enabled drives which allow you to stream your content to your iPad, so not everything needs to be stored on it e.g. GoFlex Satellite (there are other makes as well).

  • HT204370 can i download movie trailers in itunes store

    hi
    can i download movie trailers in itunes store

    You can't download the trailers, you can only view them in the store.
    If you have an iOS device and are in the US (I'm not sure it it's available anywhere else) then there is a Trailers app :
    Features:
    • Access hundreds of movie trailers, clips, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and images, available in HD or SD
    • Explore an interactive, year-long release calendar that helps you plan when you'll be going to the theaters
    • Save favorite movies and theaters for immediate access anytime

  • Can an American use iTunes from outside the US to download movies?

    Can an American use iTunes from outside the US to download movies?  The Terms & Conditions that just popped up as I was going to download a movie seems to indicate "no."  So Americans traveling abroad are out of luck?

    You can only use the Store for the country that reflects your billing address. This applies worlwide, not just to Americans.

  • Can you download movies into iTunes then watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch them in our RV that does have an internet connection always.

    Can you download movies into iTunes and watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch downloaded movies in our RV.

    If you want to watch on your iPad screen, you don't even need airplay.
    If you want to watch on a television screen, you need an AppleTV.
    In both cases...
    If the movies are purchased, there is no need for an Internet connection to the outside world.  If they're rented, you need an Internet connection for the first minute or so that Apple knows that you're watching the movie.  I do not know if a rented movie can be stopped and restarted without an Internet connection.

  • My ipad and itunes account is registered in the UK - can I download movies on wifi in the US from itunes?

    my ipad and itunes account is registered in the UK - can I download movies on wifi in the US from itunes?

    You can only buy from the UK iTunes Store, and per the Terms of Use for the UK Store, you agree not to attempt to use it from outside of the UK. Apple may take technological steps to prevent such use, though I've never seen any reliable indication that they do so.
    Regards.

    Apple doesn't own the copyrights to any of the entertainment content they sell. They are just the retailer. If the copyright owner decides they no longer what their product available on the iTunes Store then it will no longer be available. There's not a lot Apple can do about that. What it also says, at the bottom of the page in the fine print is:
    Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer in the iTunes Store... So backup your purchases. I backup all my purchases to local storage and do not depend on a third party to keep my data safe. It is your responsiblity.

  • A friend gifted me a copy of The Amazing Spider-man, I redeemed the code, now it tells me I can't download it onto my Ipad (1st Gen) because it does not have a gyroscope. Is there a way for my friend to get his money back, or a way for me to download it?

    As a second option I can play on my 1st gen Ipod Touch. Does that have a gyroscope?

    Contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,
    iTunes Customer Service Contact - http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html > Get iTunes support via Express Lane > iTunes > iTunes Store - Apple states all sales are final, but you can always ask nicely.  Your friend should have checked the specifications of your ipad before making the gift.
