Movie disappeared from iPad? Help!

I put Les Miserables on my iPad yesterday and this morning I was playing around and I pressed the stop button. All of a sudden the whole movie disappears (deletes?) and I am no longer able to play it because it says I have no videos. I tried redownloading it from the itunes on my ipad, but it says I don't have enough local storage and so I tried syncing it back on to my ipad from the computer and it says that it couldn't be synced (I'm guessing it's because of storage.) So I went and checked my storage and it says I have 8.8 GB used, which confuses me because that was the amount I had with the movie on my ipad. Please help!

Did you try rebooting your iPad and then see if you can sync it back or download it again? Maybe if you reboot the iPad that will correct the storage reading internally.
Reboot 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
One other thought .... When you are connected to iTunes .... Do you see a large amount of space being taken up by "Other" in the capacity bar at the bottom of the iTumes window?

How do I move photos from Ipad to desktop

How do I move photos from Ipad to desktop to free space on Ipad?

Use can use a cloud sync service like DropBox, you can use a WiFi transfer app (search the App Store - there are a number of them available) or you can connect the iPad to your computer and import the photos from the camera roll

Best way to move photos from iPad to Mac? I have a card reader foriPad and used it on a recent vacation to put pics on iPad. How can I now move them to Mac? Preferably without using iPhoto.

With iPhoto or with the Image Capture application.

Attempted to download a movie and movie disappears from library.

Attempted to download a movie, looks complete, but unable to sync to iPod... restart iTunes and movie disappears from library. No files in media folder and iTunes store thinks that it has been downloaded already. Worked with iTunes account people who were very responsive, but after multiple resends on their side, the problem continues and they suggest a local problem on my side. Thoughts?

Hey Jerry... I ended up submitting a formal feedback issue and someone got back to me fairly quickly. Responses are typically from an offshore team I assume, since they happen at night. The email address that I have been corresponding with is [email protected] . I'll keep this string posted if I make any progress... Good luck!

HT1657 Rental movie disappears from PC after transfer and never shows up on iPad

Article says I can transfer movie rental from my PC to my iPad (1) and that it can only exist ion device at a time. I transferred the movie, it disappeared from my PC (in Rentals catregory), but never showed up on my iPad. What now?

Thanks for replying. I tried your solution also but it didn't help. Apple gave me a 2.99 credit to my account and told me to download it again. Next time I'll download it on the device I want to watch it on, so I won't have to worry about transferring it. Apple needs to make this whole process more user friendly. I am far, far from a novice, but I am a Windows guy, not a MAC guy. Even so, I felt like a novice user having to hunt and peck just to be able to try and transfer the movie. Once I did it, and I probably could not duplicate what I did because it was just luck, the movie disappeared. I was surprised they came back with a credit so quick. Thanks again.

Help with notes that disappear from IPad and iPhone?

Help! My notes on the iPad keep disappearing from my IPad then from my iPhone. The notes are showing in yahoo ok. I type my notes and then they are there for a short while then disappear. I share one apple account with my husband so we do not use the iCloud for notes so that we keep them separate. On his IPad when you go to settings/notes he can then show under default yahoo, iCloud and on my IPad. On my IPad it just shows yahoo under default. How can I sort this? Use to work fine before the upgrade.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

Rented movies disappear off iPad before rental period ends

Hi
2 of my rented movies (which had over 10 days left in the viewing period) randomly disappeared from the Videos app. I could see the movie covers in the Videos app, and then the app died. When I restarted the app, the "rental" tab was no longer visible. I cant seem to find the movies even if I connect the iPad back to my MacBook/iTunes
Any similar experiences/suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
According to the iTunes Help viewer...
"A rented item expires 30 days after you rent it or 24 hours after you begin playing it, whichever comes first. Expired rentals are deleted automatically"
If you had started then stopped the movie(s), then it's possible the rental time expired.

HT1848 Trying to move files from iPad to new MacBook

Hi.
I'm trying to move my music etc from an iPad to my new Macbook. My previous computer (PC) died some time ago, so I have no backups of the info on my iPad. (Well, a backup from about a year ago!) I lost my iPad data once before, after doing an OS update on it, and it was only my own ideas and not AppleCare that helped me to sort the problem out. That said, I'm a bit nervous now that I don't have any backups of the data.
OK, so I've tried following the steps in the article about this. I've also turned off the automatic sync function now because I'm scared it'll immediately sync to an empty iTunes. But even having done this, I'm still getting the 'sync in progress' message on my iPad. The Macbook isn't giving me the message to 'transfer', but asking if I want to update the OS on the iPad.
So ... Is the iPad actually sync-ing if it says it's sync-ing or is it just in the initial stages of connection and hasn't done anything yet? Can I leave the devices connected?
And if I just say no to the OS update, will I then get the message I'm supposed to get?
*** Oh, and it was opening iPhoto too. I've now followed the instructions to stop this from opening. Would that have been why I was getting the 'sync in progress' message?

You can use a third-party Mac application like Senuti to move music from your iPad to your iTunes library.
It's normal for iPhoto to start when you connect an iPad with photos in its camera roll.

MOV files from Ipad not playing correctly in 2010 Windows PPT presentation

I inserted .mov files taken from Ipad 2 into a.ppt on my work PC. I saved these files to the folder containing all of the videos I am showing in the ppt-- the same folder where the .ppt is located as well. Then I inserted them as I do all videos (I create ppts often for work) -- and the clips that are horizontal play fine but the vertical ones do not play correctly- audio and video not in sync. any remedies? (using ppt 2010, converted files to wmv, didn't work either). I should add that when I viewed these files on my PC (by just clicking the file) they play fine, but they are not rotated correctly. This must have been my fault when I took the videos. However, when I insert them they are rotated correctly but just don't play right - looks like a Japanese movie. please help!

Email disappearing from iPad when I download in iMac

My wife is having the problem that looks like the ISP's (GCI.net) email server is deleting email from my iPad.
With her iMac off, when she is traveling, she can download and read email on her iPad. All the email stays there, unless she intentionally deletes something.
BUT, when she get home from a trip and goes to check email using Apple's Mail on her iMac, which is set to "Remove from server ...," she can WATCH as the email disappears from her iPad -- I have watched this. This has been very frustrating, as I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. My old PowerMac and my older iPod Touch has no problem with GCI email. I have gobs of savedemail on the iPod with the same Mail settings on the PowerMac (I do plan to upgrade to an Intel Mac, this fall, btw).
Searching the web and here inthe Apple forums, I have so far not found anyone with this situation. It acts like the email content on the iPad is only what is on the GCI.net servers. When my iMac removes those, they disappear from the iPad. But, I seen no settings on the iMac or iPad that will fix this. I have tried everything I can think of.
Her Gmail account works fine on her iPad.
The iMac is set up with POP account. (As is my PMG5). The iPad was forced to set up a POP account (as a possible solution) for GCI email because the default IMAP is where we first discovered the issue of the server appearing to delete email from the iPad.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Some of the older 30-pin-to-USB cables have catches on the iPad end. The connector block on them extends further from the iPad than the ones without the catch; they are almost square. You have to squeeze the sides of the connector to disengage the catches.
I'm not sure what being in iTunes has to do with it, though.

Remove expired Movie rentals from iPad

Hi gang,
I rented and watched a couple of movies on my iPad. They have expired. They still show up in the video app and are not watchable. How can I make them go away. iTunes says I've got over 3 GB of video content which MUST be those movies because I wouldn't have much else, and I want them to go away.
Thanks,
dp

HT201272 Can't get movie rental from iPad air to show up on iPhone 4S?

How do you get a movie rental on iPad air to show up on iPhone 4S so we can watch??

You can't, rentals are one-time only downloads, and from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
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.
