Lost space after glitched movie download

I downloaded a movie I had purchased in iTunes a long while ago to my iPhone 5. It seemed to glitch and was stuck in processing. I attempted to reset the download and it seemed to do the same for a while then completed. I deleted it. I did a hard reset on my phone (pressing power button and front button) and I still seem to have lost several gig to a corrupted file I am guessing. Deleting the 2nd download shows that it is not on my phone; however, when I add up the space used by apps it seems to correspond to what I saw my original available space was. Has anyone else experienced this? I do not back up to iTunes I just use the cloud for apps and pull all pictures off. I do not want to do a reset all data option as I would loose text messages etc. Is there a fix to this? I find this unacceptable that the OS would not free up glitched files on its own. If it created some type of temp file it should be removed by the OS.
I did not know how much the iOS takes up space wise. Does anyone know? I seem to have lost around 2-3 gig.
Iphone 5, ios 7.1.2 32 gig
Thanks!

You can try the basic troubleshooting steps. But if they don't work, you know what you have to resort to already.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Video> look for the movie in there. If it is in there form whatever reason - delete it. Swipe across It in the list or use the edit button.
Sometimes just a simple sync can help, but you make it sound like you are not near your computer, so I don't know if that is an option for you right now.

Lost emails after iCloud move

after my move to iCloud I have lost all my .mac/.me emails on my powerbook that were not stored in folders yet how can i get them back??? HELP

Here is my last suggetion... you said you have TimeMachine... (and if you want you can ichat with me, my email is in my profile)...Open your time machine... according to this... http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=384972 your mail is stored in this file... I am thinking if your able to look... look only... looking.... not actually doing any restoring from this location.... just looking.... and if it is there.. (before consider to restore).then restore this folder from before you lost the email... that means you would have to first make a backup of this file, before actually recovering this file from timemachine. I am not comfortable with you restoring it, because if it not the correct thing, then this will make matters worse... wait to some one who knows more answeres.... but if your able to look with timemachine.... look only... then do that (not restore).

Regaining lost space after error when removing Bootcamp partition?

     I am running snow leopard 10.8.2 and had a bootcamp partition of 115gb for Windows 7. Recently I tried to remove the partition using the bootcamp assistant and it displayed an error message that it was unable to remove the partition, however the icon for the partition disappeared in finder and the startup disk menu. I tried to remove the partition again in the same way and this time the error message did not come up, but the utility froze while it was removing the partition and after waiting for an hour or so I had to force quit the utility and restart my Mac. The bootcamp partition doesn't show up, but I did not get the 115gb back? Any ideas how I can reclaim it? Any help is much appreciated!

Notice the 76GB Free Space in the diskutil cs list output.
Unless Kappy has alternative suggestion, I suggest the following (the last 'b' is bytes).
diskutil cs resizeVolume <UseTheLongStringUUIDAboveTheMacintoshHDLine = DB68...> <UseTheSizeInBytesUnderTheLogicalVolumeGroupEntry = 250140434432b>
diskutil cs resizeVolume
Usage: diskutil coreStorage resizeVolume
        lvUUID|MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode size
Resize a logical volume, which is one of one or more disks that consume storage
out of a logical volume group. The logical volume group will have more or less
available space after this operation, if it was a shrink or grow, respectively.
Example: diskutil coreStorage resizeVolume
         11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555 10g

I've lost numbers after trying to download update

When I tried to open numbers after attempting to download update a box came up that said unable to purchase numbers at this time. I then found that the app had disappeared from my iPad along with all my work! Can I get it back?

The App Store is OK in the U.S. as you can see here.
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
Try closing the App Store, and reset the iPad all over again. Then try again.
Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Lost space after deleted podcasts while downloading.

I've had this happen twice: once on my iPhone 5S and once on my iPad 2. I start a download of a podcast in the iOS Podcast app and then cancel the download. In the case of my iPad 2, it froze and eventually when to the Apple logo screen. When it was done, I lost about 6 GB of storage space and needed to reset my settings and data on my iPad to get it back.
On my iPhone 5S, I had the podcast add crash bug, so I removed and reinstalled it. I forgot to change the settings to not download so it started downloading about 50 podcasts at once. I started swiping to delete them (which inadvertently unsubscribed from all my podcasts). When I was done, the downloads had stopped, but I lost 4 GB of space, which was not reclaimed when I deleted the podcast app again. What's weird is iTunes still shows my iPhone as having 4.5 GB free, but the phone itself said it only had 909 MB free. I tried re-installing the podcast app, but the podcasts didn't show up there. I tried restarting and hard resetting, but that didn't help. Basically the space was gone. I called Apple Support and was told I needed to do a restore.

I have the same problem, but it happened when I downloaded a sample of a book so I can not do the solution offered by Beachdogz. I would just buy the book but I can't because it says downloading so there's no buy option. Actually it says downloading downloading (twice) if that helps.
Would appreciate any help.
Thanks

After interruption of downloading a Movie, Space wrong calculated

I wanted to download a Movie on my iPad. I bought and hoped that it'll be finished next day.
But there was an ERROR Message:
"There's no more Space left" - but when I bought the film there was enough....
I had the half movie downloaded - I cancelled it.
It was was gone - but the Space was still full.
After a reset of the iPad everything worked fine.
Three days ago I had the same problem. Apple didn't answer my question...
Does anyone know something?
Thank you,
MC

I tried to download a movie on my iPod touch but due to limited space, it did not download. Then, I checked my credit card online, and I found the money was already taken. How will I get it to download on another device with the same account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

I have like five GB's of ghost data (data the device claims is not there but it is still taking up space) on my I pad 2 from a failed movie download attempt. How do I fix that with out resting my iPad? I have only 1GB left of storage

I have like five GB's of ghost data (data the device claims is not there but it is still taking up space) on my I pad 2 from a failed movie download attempt. How do I fix that with out resting my iPad? I have only 1GB left of storage
The movie had gotten to the point that I could watch it all the way through but it still said processing and got stuck at that point and when I turned off the wifi to try to restart it, it deleted its-self but did not free up any of the storage It was taking up
Restarting my iPad does not help
Some thing similar also happened to my old laptop when trying to download the iOS 5 update to my laptop when it came out. It kept getting disconnected and every time it would try to start over and act like what had already been downloaded was not there though it was still taking up the storage space.
And it continued repeating until it took up all of my storage space. The data file would not show up anywhere so I had to restore my laptop to the factory settings and that worked for awhile but I eventually had to get a new laptop.

Did you try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If this does not work, use iTunes to set it back to factory settings, which would also install the latest software:

I bought a Sandisk Connect Media Drive, downloaded the app from iTunes. Before iOS 8, movies played fine. After iOS upgrade I can no longer play movies downloaded from iTunes to the media drive. Anyone else have a similar issue?

I checked with SanDisk's own online support and they indicate that they have notified Apple of the issue.
According to SanDisk, the problem lies with Apple not having the iOS 8 version of the Safari browser having DRM decoding enabled that the Media Drive relies upon to decode and play iTunes DRM titles. Non DRM encoded videos will play in the browser.
DRM audio is not effected as this is handled by the native iOS music app.
As of the date of this post SanDisk have not been given a timeframe by Apple for this issue to be resolved.
I hope that Apple resolves this issue quickly as I have a large collection of DRM video titles on a 128Mb memory card installed in the Media Drive that I am unable to view.

Can't recover disk space after finishing/deleting movies

My ipod touch (8GB) still reports that 2 GB are taken up by videos, even though I don't have any accessible videos on it now. These appear to be the footprints of two movies I rented from itunes. But I finished watching the movies and they don't appear in my itunes rented movie list. When I look under the "videos" tab on my ipod, the two movie titles briefly flash on the screen and then disappear -- so there is no way to select them and attempt to delete them again. I have tried syncing to the itunes library on my Mac (which does not show the movies) but this does not release the space on my ipod. What can I do to recover this 2 GB of lost space on the ipod?

I had the same issue with former rented movies still "appearing" though I had viewed and could no longer access. When I upgraded to 2.0 I ended up restoring to factory defaults and that process removed all the ghost images and freed up the memory. However, I'm noticing that it is occuring again. Has anyone found a way of preventing or correcting without reimaging and restoring?

What system and iPhoto version are you running and do you have Qjuicktime Player 7 installed. It would be in the Applications or Applications/Utilities folder.
