Storage says I have 15gb of movies, but I can't find them anywhere!? Any Help?

Hey anyone and everyone.
So I went to my 'About this Mac' tab, 'More Info', 'Storage' and for some reason it is saying I am using 15gb on movies.   The only thing is I cannot find any movies or files that look like movies at all on my mac.
Now I did have some videos from my gopro but moved them off to an external.  So i thought that would fix things, but still says I am using a ton of space on movies.
Could someone please tell me where to look, or how to find them, so I can move them to the external hardrive!
Any help would be great for sure!
Thanks
Aaron

search for the file extension like .mov
likely they are gone and OS X is lying to you like it does with reporting drive size contents.

  • HT1657 I have rented 2 movies,but i can t find them

    where can i find my rental movie (already payed for) in I tunes???

    Hi Crissy0126,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The rented movies should appear in your Videos app on the iPad.  If you don't see them, try downloading them again on your iPad:
    Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    If you continue to have issues with this purchase, the iTunes Store Support team can help:

    I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
    SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
    Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

  • I downloaded the Vevo and Cityville apps, and iTunes says they're on my iPod, but I can't find them. Is there some place they go on the iPod?

    Try using the Spotligh search feature on the iPod. To get there, swipe the Home screen fully to the right.
    Also, if they are Games, they could be in the Game Center.folder

  • I lost my iPhone and I was hoping that my photos were being saved to iCloud, but I can't find them anywhere. I read that iCloud saves them for thirty days, but where?

    I lost my iPhone and I was hoping that my photos were being saved to iCloud, but I can't find them anywhere. I read that iCloud saves them for thirty days, but where?

    You are referring to Photo Stream. Photo Stream syncs the photos taken with your device to all of your device.
    It's not a photo storage service, so photos are deleted 30 days after being added to Photo Stream. You can't access to your Photo Stream photos from http://www.icloud.com, but only from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (using the Photos app), Mac (using iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion) or PC (with iCloud Control Panel).
    In all of these devices, you have the option of copying them to the device, so they will be kept after 30 days

  • I just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and before I delete my old phone, I want to make sure all my photos were in icloud, but I can't find them anywhere. Why? I know it may take weeks to download my 14,000 pics, but I want to make sure they're there.

    Extract the photos from the phone to your computer like you would with any other digital camera.
    PhotoStream is NOT permanent storage and iCloud photos is in beta, meaning it's not fully cooked yet and you may lose data stored in it.

  • Airdrop receives file on iPad but then can't find file anywhere. Help please?

    Hi,
    Any help on this would be hugely appreciated.
    Have been trying repeatedly to send a video file from an iPhone 5s to the latest iPad using Airdrop.
    Everything works: devices are recognised, file is sent all the way to the 'tick' symbol appearing on the iPad and the iPhone says the file is sent.
    BUT
    Then nothing happens, no file opens, and I can't find it in any albums (photos, videos or otherwise) on the recipient iPad.
    I haven't come across this on the forums yet so I'm hoping someone from Apple can help.
    Thanks in advance!

    By and large, we aren't Apple here, just other users trying to help each other. The few actual employees, who are here mostly to keep the forums working smoothly, only rarely offer help, mostly from canned help documents.
    A file transferred by AirDrop should wind up in the same app that sent it. For example, if you sent a video using the Photos app, it will wind up in the Photos app, specifically in the Camera Roll. I just verified that it works that way from my iPhone5 to my iPad Air (both on 7.0.6).
    If that's not how it is working for you, please tell us the app you are using to send the video, the iOS level on each of the two devices, and anything else you think might help somebody here assist you. (It might well not be me.)

  • I downloaded add ons but I can't find them anywhere

    So where would I find them or how do I use the addons I downloaded

    If you installed from the Add-ons site, you should find those add-ons listed here:
    menu > Tools > Add-ons
    If you tap an individual add-on, it might have options. Otherwise, you could check whether the add-on added itself to the menu somewhere. If it doesn't show up anywhere in the menus, maybe it has some other UI? For example, Ghostery displays a ghost icon over the page.
    If you can't find it anywhere, do you want to mention which add-on(s) you're trying to use?

  • Home screen still says I have a text msg, but I can't find it.

    My home screen still shows I have a text msg, but when I go into SMS/MMS it's not there.  I can't find this "text msg" that the home screen says I still have.  My inbox says I have 75 items and 1 unread as well.  But I can't locate this msg.
    I've tried a soft reset and it didn't help.  Where is this msg?  How do I get rid of the notice off my home screen.
    Help please...........

  • HT201269 When I updated my wife's iphone 4s the last time to IOS 7 she lost all her contacts. I logged onto icloud because I thought they would have been save there but I can't find them.  My daughter and wife use the same Apple ID

    About 2 weeks ago I plugged my wife's iphone 4S to our pc to update  it to IOS 7and backup her iphone info to icloud. When I was done my wife's iphone had my daughter's ipod info on it and I can't find my wife's info on icloud anywhere. My wife has about 6 years of business contacts on her iphone so she is rather upset. Is there a way to recover her contacts?

    You don't have to wipe anything, but when you get a chance make sure you backed up to icloud.
    What that means is your contacts inside of the phone either physically or liquid damaged. To check
    which, you can look inside and if you see a little pink, that would give you a water damage. If you don't
    see pink it means that you to many times plugged in that charger the other way or tried to. May be
    used some other things to plug in. If you flash the light in you may be able to see those contacts.
    If I were you, i would not believe me, good luck!

  • I click to download After Effects, Creative Cloud pops up and says it's up to date but I can't find it anywhere on my macbook?

    I've searched my entire Mac and can not find After Effects anywhere. So I go to download it. When I click download, my Creative Cloud opens up and next to After Effects it says up to date.

    So, I fixed my own problem. Anyone else having the same problem follow these steps, they helped me.

  • My 3 kids have itouches, i have an iphone 4 and an ipad.  i just lost all my notes on my ipad and iphone.  i synced both to my mac but i can't find them anywhere...advice?

    i synced both to my mac to see if they would come back and they do not.  i looked at other forums and most of the people that had success getting them back used gmail.  I do not.  My email is verizon.  The only notes that were on there before the sync were 2 short notes that look like they could have been from one of my kids (although they all deny they belong to them of course).  now after the sync there are 4 notes all from december or this past sunday but the other 20 or so notes are nowhere to be seen.  I suppose part of the problem could be that i really don't understand the icloud.  I am really struggling to figure out how to use it.  the other day i synced my ipad (because i usually enter all my calendar dates on there and they were not syncing to my iphone via the icloud and now i have duplicates of a bunch of calendar events.  i am getting so frustrated.  Any advice welcome.  Thanks. 

    Thanks for the reply.
    True by my description it would seem I sent them nowhere, but ten minutes later after turning on and off Contacts in the Cloud I got most of them.
    I have the most recent one I added about 4 days ago but I'm missing some here and there.
    I logged in with my Apple ID and it's the only one I've ever used.
    Still a little weird.
    I have synced my contacts with iTunes but not very recently.
    I now have learned to do it often!
    As far as I can tell there's no rhyme or reason for my missing contacts.
    It's odd I would have most, but not all. So I must have uploaded something since I have some of my recent adds that were after my last sync with iTunes.

  • My storage say I have 67GB of movies - I cannot find them but want to remove them to create space

    Hi JPNolan,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you are trying to find movies. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Ipad says I have 149 photo on it but I can't find them, any idea where they might be stored? they are not in any folder including deteted photos folder.

    My ipad says it has 149 photos on it, but I can't find them. Any ideas where they might be?

    Did you ever restore your last iCloud backup?  That contains you camera roll photos & videos, text messages, app data, settings, etc.  It will also redownload your apps and other purchased media.
    If you didn't, follow the steps in this article to restore the backup: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521.

  • HT2513 I have a Macbook pro and I've lost my ical and widget icons. It says it's in the trash but I can't find it.

    I have a Macbook pro and I've lost my ical and widget icons. It says it's in the trash but I can't find it.

    Hey Shady K,
    It sounds like you've removed the iCal and Widget icons from your dock and want to get the back there for easy access. The following document goes over dock basics and there's a section (which I copied below) that goes over how to get those icons back on to the dock. Essentially you'll just find the application's icon in your applications folder and drag it back.
    Mac Basics: The Dock
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2474
    Adding and removing Dock items
    If you want to add an application to the Dock, click the Launchpad icon in the Dock and drag the application icon to the Dock; the icons in the Dock will move aside to make room for the new one. If you want to add a file or folder to the Dock, just drag its icon from any Finder window (or the desktop) and drop it on the Dock. The resulting icon that appears in the Dock is actually an alias of the original item (it's kind of a pointer to your original item). If you drag an application or file onto the Dock, you'll be able to open it anytime by simply clicking its docked icon. If you drag a folder onto the Dock, a Finder window of the folder's contents will display when you click the folder icon in the Dock.
    To remove an item from the Dock, drag its icon an inch or more off the Dock and wait a couple seconds, then release; the icon will disappear in a poof of smoke. There are some icons that you can't remove from the Dock, such as the Trash and the Finder.
    Don't worry, you aren't permanently removing the item from your computer; you simply got rid of its Dock icon. If you want that item back in the Dock, locate the application, file, or folder in the Finder (or with Spotlight), and drag it back into the Dock.
    Hope that helps,
    David
