Rental movie has expired but is still on iPad when I look at it in iTunes. I can't delete it and it doesn't show up in Videos app. How do I get rid of it?

I've tried unsyncing my movies but it's still there. I rented it about two months ago, and I've had 2 OS updates since then. There is a downloading icon next to it, which is strange because I watched it. I've checked the store for downloads and there is nothing waiting to be downloaded for my account.
How do I get rid of it? It's taking up a lot of space.

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.  Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

  • My ex's Apple ID plus password request keeps coming up on my iPhone when trying to download Apps, how do I get rid of it please?

    My ex's Apple ID plus password request keeps coming up on my iPhone when trying to download Apps, how do I get rid of it please?

    Tks heaps for that, had a look at Store and ITunes sections, not overly helpful unless I am missing something.
    My issue is that on my computer she would update her iPhone with Software updates via iTunes.
    I have gone and deleted her backups that were still sitting on there.
    If I want to update my Apps on my iPhone when due her Apple ID and password request will come up as an option to use that account if I knew the password and it's synced from my Computer even though she has been gone 7 months now. Is it a syncing issue or is her Apple ID stored in my iTunes backups somehow and keeps coming back? Do I need to de-authorize her account from my Computer?

  • 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?

Also, I was wondering why they took my money even when it did not finish downloading let alone get downloaded?

    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 a huge amount of my memory used by 'other' than photos and music - to my knowledge, there is nothing there apart from a few songs and photos and 5 podcasts. What could it be? How could I get rid of this 'other' stuff and get the memory back?

    I no longer have access to the email address used as my Apple ID and when I choose to answer security questions, my DOB had to have been originally entered incorrectly because it keeps failing.  How do I get rid of my old Apple ID and create a new one?

    Contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them. Alternatively, just create a new Apple ID; previous iTunes Store purchases won't be transferred to it.

  • I took off my screen protector, and it left bubbles in the actual screen! How do I get rid of them?

    I put on the screen protector and noticed it had some bubbles so I peeled it back to fix it. Well, what I though was an air bubbles in the protector, was a bubble in the screen!! This WAS NOT there before. How do I get rid of the bubble that is in the iphone?
    Thanks!

    zinkiew,
    Why don't you go to the "Screen Protector Mfg" web site and see what they say about removing the residue mark. Most all S. P. sites have a section on how to clean the screen when you take the protector off.
    That said have you tried a damp soft cloth?
    You can also try a piece of "Scotch Tape"... press the sticky side of the tape on the bubble mark and then lift it off. You may have to do it several times to get it all.
    Their may be some solvents like alcohol that will remove the mark if it is glue residue from the protector. But make sure you check with Apple before you use any solvents. Some solvents may attack the Oleophobic coating on the iPhone screen.
    You can also Google for a solution to your problem. I have seen several "How to" articles to deal with the issue you are having.
    Just so you don't do something to make things worse I will repeat my caveat - Check with Apple before you use anything but a damp soft cloth.

  • I updated to 3.6.8 and now have web page previews in my tabs - how do i get rid of these

    When I upgraded to 3.6.8 all my tabs now are twice the size and have a thumbnail preview of the webpage in them - how do i get rid of these and go back to the normal tabs
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i upgarded to 3.6.8

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Judging from the pic in your original post, you have quite a few files on your desktop.  Suggest that you limit the amt of files on your desktop or keep them in your Dock or put all inside of folders.  I did notice a few Safari files.  You can even hide your HD if you want.
    To hide the HD:  Finder>General>Show these items on the desktop.  Uncheck Hard disc.
    After doing the above, try the following:  Trash the finder plist file which is located:  Option>Finder>Go>Library>Preferences.  Repair permissions and restart the computer.  Please post back the results.
    Can you post the website link of the desktop pics for others to check?

  • Rented movie has expired yet it still tries to download to iTunes so I get an error message every time I start iTunes

    I rented a movie - it expired a month ago. iTunes still tries to download the movie every time i start iTunes. I get an error that it couldn't download the movie.
    help....

    did both as yo usuggested and it goes away while iTunes is up and running which is better than before.
    However, when I restart iTunes it just comes back.
    there is something else that initiates the need for the download.
    frustrating!
