Movies from iTunes takes up storage space in macbook pro

Will the movies bought in iTunes take up storage space from the macbook ? if yes, is there a way to transfer the movies to iCloud so that the computer storage will not be full ???

1. Yes.
2. iCloud storage happens automatically as well as the download, but isn’t available for all movies, and they might get removed from the iCloud at any time. If desired, buy an external drive, launch iTunes with the Option key held down, and create or choose an iTunes library on it.

How do i transfer a movie from my old hp desktop to a macbook pro?

how do i transfer a movie from my old hp desktop to a macbook pro?
On my old computer I had two movies: Fight Club and Garden State and I'd really like to watch them on my new MacBook Pro! But I dont know how to transfer them onto my new laptop help?!

Right-click them in iTunes, locate the files, move them as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window on the MacBook Pro. iTunes Store rentals can only be moved through an iPod or similar device.

Streaming movies from iTunes is taking up space on my iPad.

Hello. I have couple iPad Air's and a iPad mini. The issue I am having is happeing with all 3 devices. We like to stream movies from iTunes. What I have noticed is everytime I stream a movie it takes up anwhere between 2-5 GB splace under "other". They are all 32GB iPad's. I plugged in the iPad to the computer yesterday and it showed 19.2 GB under "other". I have tryied everything. Restore, reset, setting it up as new and can't get this issue to go away. This was happening before 7.1 came out. I called Apple and they don't have a fix for it. This is very frustrating, as after watching few movies I start getting a message that my memory is full. My wife has used most of her space with apps and music, she has around 3 GB available. After she watches 1 movie she gets a message that memory is full and can't stream any longer. So looks like the temp files are not getting deleted. Only way to get the space back is to restore the ipad and start over until it gets full again.

I wish that I had an answer for you, but I can't think of anything else to try. What I find so odd is that it happens to all 3 of your devices. That doesn't make sense at all unless it has something to do with how iTunes handles what is happening on the iPad when you sync your devices.
I update my iPhone 5S and my iPad 3 last night and then synced both devices with iTunes. When I plugged them into my MBP - they both showed an overcapacity it's due to "other". "Other" includes app data caches and when it grows out of proportion like that it means that something got corrupted. I synced the devices anyway, and the "other" dropped dramatically back to where it was on each device before I updated and where it should be.
What I'm trying to say is something may be getting corrupted when you sync with iTunes...what it is I have no clue.

I want to download movies from a DCR-HC28 camera to a macbook pro

I cannot get my macbook pro to recognize my DCR-HC28 camera using iMovie-11.
My new computer only has "thunderbolt", USD, and HDMI ports.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I'm try to buy a movie from iTunes with my I pad 3 and it tells me there is not enough local storage and when I go to my local storage there is a lot on free storage I also restarted my ipad but still the same prob what do I do?

5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie. Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with. The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad. You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.

How do I move my movies from iTunes to a portable drive in oder to free up disk space?

I have less than 10% of disk space free and often receive a message that my strat up disk is nearly full. I therefore want to free up space by moving my movies to a portable drive. How? I want to keep the movies on my iPad, though.

Delete them from the local computer. Nothing gets moved. If the content was purchased from iTunes it should be available for download again in the future.

If the device is synced with iTunes on the computer and the content is deleted from iTunes it will also be removed from the device.
Realistically, if you want to keep the content, keep it stored locally. Purchase an external drive to store the content on. Keep in mind that iOS devices are NOT backup devices, they merely mirror the content in the iTunes library on the computer.

HT4623 I tried updating to iOS6 via itunes bc my storage space was pass limit and now my phone is telling me it's in recovery mode and I need to restore it. I didn't back it up. How do I take it out of recovery mode and keep the information on my phone?

You cannot. If it is in recovery mode, the data is already gone.
Did you fail to make sure everything was on your computer before updating?

I am trying to download a movie from itunes, but ithere's isn't enough room to download. I have a iphone4, have deleted every app possible. Slimmed down photos to hardly anything. I could never update to ios7 because of storage problems. Only 2.5 GB available out of 5GB after deleting everything. I'm also out of town and cannot connect to a computer. I have wifi access though. Help?

Update
OK, Today I went ahead & booted & tried again & it worked this time.
Not sure why it didn't yesterday. Maybe the servers were just overloaded? Several others reported similar.
Also yesterday when I ran Speedtest it showd download at about 25 mbps, This morning just before I re-started the download it was showing just above 30 mbps. So maybe the internet was less busy? Or at least the parts between me & the test server.
& so far it is working ok.

Upload and download speed is horrible. it takes hours to download a movie from iTunes.

VangieChuck the problem is definitely not iTunes it is your ISP download provision. Either your ISP needs to make a service call and solve your bandwidth issues or you need a better service, granted it all depends where in the world you are located. In Kappy's and my neck of the woods we are use to 5 - 250 Mbps download rates with an average of about 25 mbps for most city dewellers. Upload will vary depending on your service.

Can you access paid for apps/movies from iTunes on another device if you have not synced? I purchased movies on my new iPad, but need to delete some off as have no space left. I have not synced the movies I have purchased on my iPad to any other devices as yet and want to know if I can retrieve the movies from iTunes later if I removed them now without syncing first? I do not want to forfeit my purchases.. Please help!
