Rented Movie Space Not Being Freed on Iphone after rental

I rented a movie in Itunes, transferred it to my iphone, and watched it. 24 hours later I got a message that the movie rental had expired. That was the way it was supposed to work, I thought.
However, now my iphone shows 1.54 GB of space allocated to "Other" and syncing the iphone doesn't free up the space.
I don't have anything else in "other" that I know of. What could that "other" stuff be other than the movie rental file?

I thought it was just me! I rented the movie and put it on my iPhone before my recent trip. I thought I would watch it but didn't so I transferred it back to computer. But still had 1.54GB of "other" so I removed photos, movies, music, podcasts from it so that there was nothing on it (just a PIM at this point). Still had 1.54GB of "other".
I saw this post and simply shut the iPhone down and started it back up. Voila! 208MB of "other" remained. My guess is this is the calendars, contacts, bookmarks listed on the "info" tab. I agree that you should not have to cycle power on the iphone to get your space back.
Now all I have to do is put all that content back on the iphone... USB *****

  • IPhone 4 - photo storage space not being freed after deletion

    Hi all,
    Wondering if anyone could help me with this - I'd be incredibly grateful!
    I've got an iPhone 4 (32GB) and I ended up taking so many photos and videos that they were taking up over 16gig in total (I have well over 3,000 including lots of videos).
    Anyhow, they were only on the camera roll, I hadnt synced any photos through folders etc., literally just had my camera roll. Anyhow, I have deleted all of these photos but for some reason they are still being recognised as taking up over 16 gig of space on the storage bar when I connect it to itunes. I've also gone into 'settings' and 'about' and whilst its acknowledging that the photos arent there in numbers, its still saying I have only 9gig left which is ridiculous as I only have like 12 songs on there!
    Any suggestions on what to do - I've tried doing a restore from backup, a soft reset etc. etc. I really don't want to do a factor reset as I will lose all my notes etc which would really irritate me.

    Here's a Solution which works 99%.
    After giving up on studying various sources on this topics and trying to delete it from my iPhone 3GS, I gave a last chance and Vualá!
    A quick tip: simply clean your DCIM folder it via iFunBox. If not familiar with this keyword, read below:
    Step by step Solution:
    download latest iFunBox;
    install it on your PC, run it, connect your iPhone via USB;
    Click on GENERAL STORAGE, then get back to Media folder:
    Open DCIM folder:
    Select ALL folders in DCIM, right-click for sub-menu, choose DELETE:
    Wait until is done, disconnect you iPhone, go to Settings ... Usage, scroll down until you'll find Photos and tap on it.
    At last, you must see a 0 bytes of taken space:
    Enjoy.
    And please FB Share it, Twit it, Pin it...   just spread the word, as seems this issue been discussed all over, but never was easy way to solve it.

  • Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

    Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on iPhone after manually managing syncing and including movies from playlist.

    Thank you.  This solved my problem too.
    But, one little thing to share:
    "There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
    This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
    I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
    They called me back this morning at 10 am.
    It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle.  My problem is now fixed;
    all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
    So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
    Again, thank you.

  • Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4.

    Yahoo e-mails are not being received on iphone 4.  I had to go website to retrieve about 50 emails from last couple of days.  Everything looks correct in settings and I haven't changed anything that I know of.  Please help if you've encountered this issue.

    I tried the suggestion of deleting the account and starting over from scratch (twice), to no avail.

  • Rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

    rented movie does not play after download if not connected to the internet

    Hello b noir.
    Thank you for your interest in solving my problem.
    What I did I opened iTune. I read the information about what does my computener need to play back a rented movie. My computer is okay to play back rental movies. So I went to the iTunes store, I searched for the movie I want to watch, i singned in into my Mac account and I bought the movie. The movie started to download to my computer, it took some time because I bought a HD version, but it never stop and after a couple of hours or little less the movie was in the Rented folder of my iTunes and also I checked to be sure that was in the movie folder. So, next day I open iTunes and click on the movie, it opens but I wait for five minuetes and never started to play back, so I tried several time and I looked for info in different internet forums but I couldn't find anything that help. So I posted the problem in this forum and also I called Apple. Apple contacted me and they let me to download the movie again. So I did it and now I will watch the movie later. Not sure if the movie will play back normally or if I am going to have the same problem. I'll keep you posted.
    Apple representative did not know why this happened.
    Thanks.

  • Rented Movies do not play

    Rented movies do not play on my Windows7 computer. Neither can I transfer the movies to my iPod Touch.  I get the message that "movies have already been transferred to another device"  Any suggestions?

    What on Earth are you talking about? Both the Classic and the Touch play movies.

  • HT203167 lost my unwatched rented movie is not on my laptop...where can I find it?

    lost my unwatched rented movie is not on my laptop...where can I find it?

    Normally I'd offer this advice...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    iTunes update or Windows Update? Are you logged into a temporary profile?
    Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

    Try this ..
    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to:  Notes
    Then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
    Other than that, try Time Machine >  http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

  • Anybody know what's up with the menu.xml.files not being available for DW after installing on a new comp?

    Anybody know what's up with the menu.xml.files not being available for DW after installing on a new comp?

    Usually that error can be cleared up by renaming the personal config folder. Turn on your OS's hidden files and then go to...
    C: > Users > your username > AppData > Roaming > Dreamweaver (version) > your language > configuration
    Rename the configuration folder configuration-old and start DW up. That should create an entirely new configuration folder and correct the menu.xml file.

  • HT1688 My purchased ringtones are not on my new Iphone after syncing. How do I get them back?

    My purchased ringtones are not on my new IPhone after syncing How do I get them back? ITunes store said I had already purchased - would I like to purchase again?

    Thanks for that babowa. If I add my Yahoo account it just goes straight to MacMail and says I already have an account. There seems to be no basic problem with mails going between Macmail and Yahoo. It is just the folders that have disappeared, while MacMail was out of action. I don't think those particular folders were ever on the Yahoo mail that I access through BT, they were just on the MacMail under "Yahoo" as opposed to "On my Mac". I am worried in case I lose what I already have if I press "Restore" from my back up. As you can see, I am not exactly good at this!

  • Rented movie apparently not complete, no way to finish, no sync

    Rented three movies, including The Bounty Hunter. At one point download stopped due to disk space. I freed up space and continued. I notice even though Bounty Hunter was "finished" its artwork did not appear in the Rented Movies section, instead there's a gray box with film strip. I also noticed it was half the size of the other movies. Upon sync with iPad Bounty Hunter would not sync, giving me an two error messages. First: "Attempting to copy to the disk (my) iPad failed because the disk could not be read from or written to." Second message followed closing that message: "iTunes could not copy "The Bounty Hunter" because the file could not be read or written."
    The other two movies sync'd without incident.
    I went to Check for Available Downloads, and it said everything is complete. I went back to store and click Rent, and it said I already did and wanted to know if I wanted to rent it again. I see no other means to complete the transfer. Please advise.

    Thanks Sarah at Apple for an email answer. File replaced, now working!
