Leaving room on Hard Disc for downloading Rental Movies.

Using the Sync mode vs Streaming. How do you Sync music and playlists to the AppleTV and leave enough room for Rental Movie Downloans...need to save about 10 GB for HD movies.
SUGGESTION: Seems like we need a selection on the Apple TV Summary page in iTunes which would allow us to specify the hard disc space to be kept vacant.
Automatic mode and Custom mode fills the AppleTV to the brim.

I have checked my settings. It appears that in either Custom Sync or Auto Sync, if you are syncing any music at all, the software will automatically fill in any unused hard disc with more music. The only way I can see to leave unused disk space is to not sync any music. Or, just not use syncing and use just Streaming by selecting "Add Shared iTunes Library" from the "Computers" area of the "Settings" screen on the Apple TV.
Could you be more specific with suggestions?

Downloading mountain lion damaged my hard disc. I took my Mac Pro to apple book store. They are unable to repair it and suggest I purchase a new hard disc for $160. It was a perfectly functioning Mac Pro that got damaged by downloading mountain lion.

Software upgrades do not generally damage hardware; your drive's failure must be co-incidental. On most MBP's, a hard drive is very easily replaced by a user. You might want to check out this site for both hard drives as well as install videos (check which model you have so you can check the correct video):

I just recently upgraded my MBP with an SSD; I purchased an kit with an external enclosure from OWC and cloned the current drive to the new one, installed the new drive and was done in no time.

Is that a -50 error message, jolyn?
If so, perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

FCP X does not recognise my hard disc for storage

I run all my applications of a 120 GB SSD and replaced my DVD drive with a 1 TB hard disc for storage. This is working very well with all my applications apart from FCP. FCP simply does not recognise my hard disc as a place for storage, although it has no problem recognising it as a source to import from.
After doing some research on other forums, most commonly this problem is due to your hard disc having a typical "camera picture name" like "IMG_001" or "DCI_001" etc. for a folder at root level, thus FCP thinks the hard disc is a camera (for import) but not suitable for storage.
I have been messing around with this for days now, and would really appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance
p.s screen shots of typical infomation attached
- Duddleif is the name of the SSD
- Kjell is the name of the 'missing' hard disc

Instead of using older OS X CD/DVD install to a new drive.
Where is your backup and clone?
Buy some drives! that is a must.
Pick up a FW case, you will need it to put the old drive in, and later, so you have an external and off line drive for backups and maintenance.
A copy of TechTool Pro 4/5 and Disk Warrior (DW first).
SuperDuper to clone your drives.
Demo of Prosoft Data Rescue 3 to scan the drive once you have a system and you put the 'dead' drive in FW case.
Then do backups and preventative maintenance on a very regular basis and have at least two backup sets.
If you have been doing that, and know and have read those instructions in the past....

Cancel or delete partially downloaded rental movie on iPad... how?

I have a partially downloaded rental movie on my iPad in iTunes which I would like to cancel.
I have searched high and low, and it seems the only way I can do this is to connect to a computer which is not possible for me at this time. I was wondering if anybody had any other ideas on how I can achieve this?
Here are things I have already tried:
- In the downloading section of iTunes, swiping left to write and selecting the delete button. Swiping does nothing, no delete button appears.
- in Settings, General, Usage, Movies, choosing Edit and deleting... The movie doesn't appear in this section
If anybody can help, please do?
- Ta, Krista.

I know i am replying to an old thread but thought someone else might find this useful. I paused the partial download, then wrote an email to Apple via the support link for iTunes store requesting that the download be removed from the queue explaining why ( in my case because i purchased HD instead of SD) and about 1 hour later received an email from Apple saying they cancelled my download and even offered me a refund. Not bad service I say.

Will Apple charge me again for downloading a movie I purchased and downloaded in the past?

A few years ago I purchased the movie "Up" on a desktop computer that no longer works. Currently, I use a MacBook to manage my iTunes account. Will I be charged again for downloading the movie from the same account I made the purchase from? After checking, "Up" does not appear under my purchases in the iTunes Store . I do not want to be charged another $17.99 for downloading the movie. Please help!

Hi nikkicasa22,
If you purchased a movie from the iTunes Store (not including rentals) and it is still available for purchase, you should be able to redownload it for no additional charge. You may find the following article useful:

How do I play my downloaded rental movie on my ipad2?

How do I play my downloaded rental movie on my ipad2 and where do I find it...help ?

If you've downloaded the film directly on the iPad or synced it to the iPad from your computer's iTune then it should show in the Videos app on the iPad - it's icon looks like a film clapperboard.

It takes over an hour for the rental movies from itunes to download. is this normal?

it takes over an hour to download. is this normal?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That all depends on your internet service. 6 Mbps or better is recommended for HD rental content. 2.5 Mbps for SD. You can check your actual internet speed at speedtest.net.
If you'd rather download SD content to avoid waits, you can change the type of content available by default in settings.

Bigger hard disc for Macbook

How big a hard disc can I put into my Macbook as I am thinking of adding parrallels to run Win XP as there are some programmes such as form typer in paperport 9 that I cannot run on the Macbook. I figured to have the biggest disc I could get so as to max out both Mac OSX and XP

For now the form factor 2.5" with sata interface available was 160 GB for the biggest.
There is several brand and there comes with 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm (but don't bother that much if you are in no need for fast access or streaming data.

for further instruction, also you need torx screw #.8 for switching the HD bracket.
Good Luck.

X200 exchange standard hard disc for SSD possible?

Hi!
I have the option to purchase a new Lenovo X200; however, my local distributor only offer a standard 250 GB hard disc. I would like to exchange that later for an SSD, but I don't know if a "standard" 2.5" SSD-disc will fit. For example OCZ Series V2 with 120 GB?
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/flash_drives/ocz_core_series_v2_sata_ii_2_5-ssd
Two questions:
1) does the above hard disc fit in a "standard" X200 (that was not shipped with an SSD disc)?
2) Any recommendations for/against the above SSD disc?
Thank you very much,
Jorg Conradt

Hi Lenovo community,
I am considering getting an X200 laptop, but I would prefer to have a larger SSD than Lenovo offers, e.g. 250GB:
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/flash_drives/ocz_core_series_v2_sata_ii_2_5-ssd
In the OCZ support forum, however, many people report problems regarding slow harddisc access with particular laptops, chip sets, bios version, etc.
http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=88
Is anyone running an X200 with a 3rd party SSD (or even with that particular OCZ SSD) and can comment on that?
Thanks for any advise!
Jorg

Where would any downloaded rental movies be downloaded to on my iPad? Just spent over $40 in data top ups and nearly two days trying to a. Download a purchased movie and b. find the movie on my iPad.

I bought this iPad (think it is an iPad 2 not actually sure, a about a few months ago. Yesterday I decided to go on iTunes store and purchase a rental movie which cost approx $6 NZD. After about 2 hours I ran out of data and the movie hadn't even downloaded halfway so I purchased more data thinking another Gb would do. Then i got a message from itunes that my ipad didnt have enough storage so i went into settings and dleeted apps and docs (apparently also deleted from icloud too) to make room for the movie. Now after purchasing another 7GB of data at over three times the cost of the rented movie it finally finished downloading and I had enough space on my iPad. But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it? Why have I just wastednearlyb$50 just tying to download and watch one measly movie! It is obviously some secret formula or thing I've missed...it shouldn't be so hard! The day before this I successfully downloaded a song I purchased and can listen to with no probs. do I need another app to store downloaded movies or something?

But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

Downloaded rental movie from iTunes cannot be transfered to new iPad

I have the new iPad. I downloaded a rental movie (Sherlock2). Tried to move it from iTunes on my mac to my new ipad, but says it can't be played on this iPad? According the specs it should be possible and the movie isn't even HD. Anyone?

Never mind. 15 minutes of research revealed that we own a 5th generation iPod, which evidently is not compatible with rentals. I am quite annoyed. Thanks Apple, for not making this clear at all in your FAQ. There should be a much more definitive description for compatibility in the FAQ, as I don't know anyone who is aware of which specific 'generation' of iPod they own. I had to go through the huge list of past and present models on the support site before figuring this out.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get a refund if we have not yet attempted to play the movie on our Windows machine that we rented the movie with?
