Movie download gone bad, now I'm stuck with 4,4 Gb of "other" Stuff - what to do?
So, I rented a movie from iTunes on my iPad 3. After watching the movie, I deleted the file and thought that everything was fine, however the download was still active in iTunes. As apple don't want you to remove active downloads from iTunes I couldn't do anything about it and didn't think further of it. But then today the download was gone but suddenly, I got an error message stating that the download of the same movie (which I haven't re-rented) could not be completed because of insufficient memory on my iPad.
I found that I only had 1,2 Gb left even though I should have 5,7 Gb. The movie wasn't really deleted, it just deleted the entry and now it is taking up space as "Other" in memory and I can't get rid of the data. I experienced the exact same problem about a month ago with another movie and had to do a factory reset in order to restore the memory. This takes oceans of time and I can't do it right now. Furthermore it simply can't be true that I have to do a factory reset each time i Rent a movie! If that is the case, it is definitely the last time I will have rented a movie through iTuneson any device - it simply isn't worth the hazzle!
Anyway, to the question: Does anyone know of a way to remove corrupted "Other" data short of wiping the device?
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.

I rented a movie and it downloaded but the movie skips and i can hear the words but the picture does not? and now the movie is gone from the library and i only rented it an hour ago? what do i do?
I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item. -

I was copying files to my time capsule when it crashed when it was almost finished. Now I am stuck with a light grey folder I can not delete. I would´t care if it wasn´t for the fact the folder is 1 TB size and takes up too much space. I have tried turning on and of Hiding Files in Finder and what not with no success. So, how do I delete this folder. Remember, I am not extremely familiar with technical terms.
I recommend you erase the TC.. it is the easiest and fastest solution.
In Airport utility open the disk tab and select erase.. choose quick erase.. it will take less than 1min.
Start again but copy files in small amounts. -

yahoo states that I cannot utilize email chat or messenger unless I have Firefox 8. How can I get Firefox 8? I downloaded 9 and now can't chat with friends and family in Yahoo...**sigh**
Hi Tgordineer,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
Hopefully this helps! -

Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon? I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it. On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
HelpHi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos" this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app. The same can be done with the music.
As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
"Sync only checked songs and videos". Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
good luck -

I have a 6 year old I Mac. Last night we tried to download leopard and now it doesn't detect the mouse or keyboard. Then, the whole thing wouldn't reboot! Help!
Download means to install off the internet or a computer server. Leopard 10.5, and Snow Leopard 10.6 are only available on CD. A 6 year old iMac should be able to install 10.5 from CD, if the following requirements are met:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2275
And if these are met, 10.6, Snow Leopard can install on them:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2455
Are you sure you meant download, and you meant Leopard? -

I can't play i-tunes downloaded movies. I've tried opening them with Windows Media Player, i-tunes, and quick time. Nothing works.
If after you download the movie, you navigate away and do something else with your Apple TV the content you have downloaded will be overwritten and you'll need to download it again. It's a pain in the neck for many who have slow downloads but it's something that comes with using volatile memory rather than a hard drive for storage.
Perhaps you're not doing this, but I thought it worth mentioning. -
