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.

  • Streaming Movies from iTunes

    Hi, is it possible to stream movies from iTunes straight to my TV without having to unplug my mac and connect it via wires?
    Can it be streamed over a wireless network perhaps?
    many thanks ;o)

    Hey thanks for the advice on apple TV, checked it out today but I don't think that it the way forward for me. Its just to costly, 40GB TV is £170 in the UK with no option of using an external USB hard drive for extra storage. I feel apple is ripping me off!!
    I'll look at other options at the moment.
    Many thanks for pointing in this direction though.

  • Cannot stream movies from itunes to apple tv 1st generation

    Hi,
    I have an apple tv 1st generation and whenever I'm renting movies I would like to play them via streaming on my TV. Unfortunately I have to wait until it's fully downloaded and then I have to transfer them to the Apple tv.
    Can someone tell me if there is a way to be able to stream rented movies from Itunes to the apple TV without having to wait until it's fully downloaded?
    I'm using a macbook pro with mac OS X 10.6.8.
    Any help would be so much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    If you rent via your Mac then you have to wait until it's full loaded. If you would like to stream then rent directly on the Apple TV

  • Apple TV won't stream movies from itunes since installing latest update

    I recently updated my Apple TV and have since been unable to stream movies from my iTunes library. Itunes and all other software is up to date. I even downloaded Mountain Lion OS just in case. Netflix and movie trailers work fine. Streaming from my computer seems to be the only problem.

    I have since purchased a new apple tv which had worked fine until the update was offered. I downloaded the update and the problem happens again on a brand new machine.
    Since then I have spent 2 hrs on the phone with apple without results. Followed by an hour on the phone with Linksys checking network issues. I was just wondering if this is a problem for anyone else? It's not a single device so it has to be a problem with the update intalled.
    Linksys believes the update corrupted the apple tv's firmware. Has anyone else been experiencing problems?

  • Why does it take so long to stream movies from itunes with Apple TV?

    Every time I try to rent a movie from iTunes, it says it will take minimum 40 minutes to load.  Just now it said 5 hours and 30 minutes!!
    What is the deal?

    This is likely due to your network.
    Check www.speedtest.net
    6mbps is required for instant HD
    Check for interference (check www.istumbler.net for mac or netstumbler for windows)
    Make sure you're using your IsPs DNS

  • HT204370 When I download a movie from iTunes, where does it go on my iPad?  I can't find it

    When I download a movie from iTunes, where does it go?  I can't find it.

    Yes. Once the movie file is downloaded, you won't need Wi-Fi to view it

  • 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.

  • Cant stream movies from iTunes to ATV 2

    Have done this before and now I cant seem to get this to work and it may be me.
    I have a few films in my library that I was able to watch on my laptop then switch to watch on my apple tv. For some reason am unable to do so now when I click on the apple tv drop down list at the bottom right it still plays on the laptop.
    I don't have a problems playing music from laptop to apple tv only the films.

    The icon at the bottom right controls remote speakers. It won't redirect a movie to tv, just music. What you can do is go to the computer section on ATV and select the movie from your iTunes library. There isn't a way to initiate a "push" from your Mac to tv for movies. You must initiate a "pull" from the tv.
    Hope that helps,

  • Apple tv won't stream movies from itunes

    I have just setup my Apple tv and it was working fine, but then I synced it with my macbook via ethernet and now the apple tv says it's not connected to itunes. However, when we go into settings it does say the network is connected, signal strength is strong. Please help.

    I'd hang fire for a while, it looks like iTMS Australia is having some issues currently.

  • I need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb hd.

    i need to stream video from itunes to apple tv with out using my 40gb apple tv can it be done you see i have a 40gb apple tv and it's full and i still have lots more video (movies) in my itunes can i stream movies from itunes to apple tv with my memory full in apple tv??????????

    Select the iTunes library on your computer from the Sources menu in Apple TV and then you can stream. If streaming is not smooth and your router has a multicast setting, try increasing the multicast bit rate. To return to the synced content on your Apple TV, select the Apple TV logo at the top of the Sources menu.

  • Streaming movies from outside of iTunes Library

    I would like to stream movies from an external hard drive to Apple TV2 without storing them in my iTunes music library which is on my internal drive. I know I need to do this through iTunes but I don't want to clutter up library as space is tight.
    I don't want to move my entire music library to an external either as it complicates my time machine backups and hinders performance.
    I think I need to somehow alias the movies in my iTunes library but can't find a way. Any clever (or blindingly obvious) solutions would be welcome.
    Thanks in advance.

    easy
    assuming you have +copy files to ... when adding to library+ enabled in iTunes > preferences > advanced, simply option-drag the files from the external into an open iTunes window.
    iTunes will index the path to the location of the files (the external), but not copy them physically.
    be sure the external is mounted on your desktop before you launch iTunes if you want to play files from it.
