No option to delete rented movie on iPad!

I rented a movie on my MBP via iTunes and synced it to my iPad. It ended up expiring and now I see that it is on my iPad, but there is no option to delete it. From iTunes, there is no option to sync or delete rented movies any more (the whole rental section of the Movie tab is GONE when I sync my iPad.
I un-synced all my movies, but that deleted other movies i had synced, not the rental!
What is going on here? I have nearly 2 GB eaten up with a movie I can't watch or remove!

I finally called Apple Support to get the answer to this question.
1st, make sure you are signed in on your computer under the Apple ID that purchased the movie.
2nd.  Go into the summary page of your device on ITunes. Near the bottom you will see "options".  In that section you will see "manually manage music and videos".  Select that option.
3rd.  Then go to the "On this Phone" click the RENTAL sub section under your device. This depends on the version of ITunes you are using.
4th. Right click the movie you want to delete.  The popup box with the delete option should appear.
5th  After it deletes (which will take quite a while) remember to go back into Options and uncheck the option for"manually manage music and videos".

  • HT1657 Cannot delete rented movie from iPad library?

    Cannot delete a itunes movie rental download from library on iPad. How can I delete this movie?

    If you rented it directly on the iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app - if you can't find it in there then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • Itune rented movies to ipad

    Itune rented movies to IPAD. I have downloaded and moved many movies to ipad for my travels. I just downloaded 2 rented movies today to my imac, and now it will not let me move to my ipad. Itunes claims I have already downloaded to a device. I have used this process many times. Did something change?

    I just had the same problem and someone posted the below, which fixed it!
    Deleting the SC Info folder also worked for me. See "Remove the SC info folder" on this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1389

  • Why can i not delete some movies on ipad

    why can i not delete some movies on ipad

    If the movies show up with a Cloud symbol or if they will not delete when you hit the edit button (or the edit button is not there), go to Settings > Videos > Turn off 'Show All Videos'

    i rented movie on ipad. when i click play it says cannot open. any suggestions?

    At this point I would contact iTunes by:
    https://getsupport.apple.com/ServiceOptionAction.action
    iTunes > iTunes store > connecting and downloading > movie rentals > chat or email with iTunes.
    They should tell you what to do or how to fix it.

  • How to delete rented movie link

    I rented a movie from iTunes, but after it expired the cloud icon still appears in Video on iPad air, I can hide it but I want get rid of it!
    Thank you.
    Phil

    HERE'S A SOLUTION:
    I just got off of the phone with Apple Tech Support. It seems that there is a toggle setting under Videos, which when turned on (green), instructs one's iPad to show all rented movies, whether expired, watched, or not. Simply switching the toggle to off is step 1. Once that's done, return to the Video > Rentals screen, and click on the Edit button in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Once that's done, an "X" will appear in the corner of each movie icon. Press the "x" on the movie(s) you wish to delete, and that's it.
    Why on earth Apple made this process so absurdly complicated, after being able to simply hold down the particular movie icon in earlier releases, I have no idea. But this solves it. Hope it helps.

  • How to move a rented movie from IPAD to Macbook Itunes?

    Hi,
    I've rented a movie and downloaded it on my IPAD4. I didn't watch it yet and I prefer to move the movie to my Macbook pro Itunes.
    I've connected the IPAD4 to the Macbook using the USB cable provided with the IPAD power supplier but I cannot find a way to transfer the file.
    Does anybody know how to move the file from the IPAD to the Macbook/Itunes?
    Thanks,
    Flavio

    You can't. Movies rented on an iPad 4 can't be transferred to any other device or any computer.

  • Transfer iTunes rented movies to iPad

    Hi All,
    I have read all the threads on moving rented movies from iTunes library on PC to iPad.  Problem is I do not see the "move icon" in the library of movies.  I see all 3 rented titles I wish to move.  Guidance is appreciated.  I am sure it is something simple but yet frustrating.
    Thanks!

  • Can't Find My Rented Movie On iPad.  Grrr!

    I rented a movie in iTunes and am trying to sync it to my iPad, which I've done many times before.  It's not working!  I transferred it to the iPad side in iTunes and it's telling me it's on my iPad, but I can't find it.  The rental icon is not there either.  I'm connected to the Internet.  I have no idea where I'm going wrong.

  • Can't delete rented movie from my iPhone

    I downloaded a rented movie to my iPhone 3G but it still appears in my video, but as invalid and cannot play and won't disappear. How do I delete this?

    go to the video player and swipe your finger across the details off the move a red box should come up and ask if you want to delete that movie... that should help

  • Problems renting movies on iPad 2 from iTunes.

    I have had problems twice lately renting movies from iTunes. The first time, the download got hung up and then gave me an error. I never could get it to finish. Support helped me remove and then suggested I download on my laptop and then sync to my iPad. It worked, but that isn't a fix to the problem. It is a work around. One of the reasons I got it was to rent movies when I travel and I don't want to take my laptop to do that.
    Today, I had my second problem. I rented a movie and downloaded directly to my iPad. When I went to look for it under videos, I couldn't find it. Later, it showed up under videos out of the blue. I started watching the movie and it got about halfway through when the movie froze. It would not go any further although it had all or the remaining chapters listed in the chapter guide.
    In looking through some other forums I have heard that my first issue was quite common and now I have heard from others that my second issue is somewhat common as well. Does anyone know what the issue is or what Apple is doing about this?

    Plug the USB flash drive 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.)
