Undeleted deleted content on Apple TV

I've just had my Apple TV for a few weeks, and rented one movie. It "deleted" itself after I watched it, but when I look in iTunes, I see 3 GB of "Other" content, which is obviously the "deleted" movie. I'm not short of space yet - I don't put much on the device - but I wonder if this is going to happen every time I rent a movie. Short of restoring the Apple TV, how do I delete this stuff?

Well, after you start watching a rented movie, it will only be there for 24 hrs since the second you hit the play button.
I don't know how it is auto-deleted by apple, but I'm sure it would be first to be overwritten if you added more sync'd content

    Could somebody PLEASE tell me how to Delete my music Library ? Don't have enough space for anything else on my Apple tv

    Choose the content you wish to sync from the choices given you in the main itunes window when you select the tv from the device list. Next time you sync your tv any content you have unchecked will be removed from its hard drive.

  • How do I delete an old Apple ID when I've forgotten the Password

    I want to delete an old Apple ID but have forgotton the password. I've gone back to my maiden name and thought I'd delted the old ID but icloud wont sync photostream to my new ID not will my iphone 4 calendar any longer sync to my iPad and I keep getting a box for my old ID but cant remember the password. I've put in every password I've ever used but it says they're all wrong. This is driving me nuts, I swear I'm going to get  a Galaxy next and not an iPad!!! I don't have this problem on my lap top.

    Photo Stream and Calendar will not sync to your new Apple/iCloud ID. They are tied to the old one. You cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it. However, the iCloud account associated with that ID and all of its contents will not be accessible using that new Apple/iCloud ID - two different accounts.
    Also, any purchases you made with the old ID will remain tied to that old ID. They cannot be transferred to a different Apple account.
    Your best bet is to go to Manage your Apple ID and change the email address for your existing Apple ID to whatever it is you want it to be (unless it is an Apple Domain email address - @me.com, @mac.com, etc.). However, if you have already used that email address for the new ID you set up, it won't be available to be used for your updated one: Apple - My Apple ID
    If you want to use the email address you set up the new Apple ID with, you can contact Apple Support to see if they can delete that new account so you can use the email address you assigned to it:
    ACCOUNT SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
    If you are having issues signing off your old ID because you don't remember the password, you can reset that password by going to the first link listed above and clicking on Reset Password. If you don't remember the answers to your Security Questions, you can contact Apple Support at the second link posted above to have them reset.

  • How do I delete my old apple account,it's not accepting my birthdate either?

    How do I delete an old apple account?  For some reason it's not accepting my birthdate information!  Thank -you!

    OK that's what Ithought you were talking about.
    You can't actually delete an old Apple ID. You just sign into the new ID to use that one. Your old ID must be popping up because you used it in the past to purchase content with it. You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. You have to continue to use the old ID if you want to update content that was used to purchase with that ID.
    Did you sign into your new account in the settings and you can't stay signed in?

  • How do I delete contents from my iCloud account  to free- up space

    Recently i replaced my damaged iPhone with a new one. I could restore the contents to new phone. But now I am not able to update the iCloud from my new phone as it says that "Not enough space". This leads to the question - how do i remove all the contents in my iCloud account?
    Also when I login into my iCloud account using PC, I see there are 2 phones shown against my account and I am not able to delete one of them?
    Any tips for both these issues.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can delete contents in your iCloud storage from your device using settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage storage. Swipe the individual content to the left to reveal the delete button.

  • CAUTION-MAJOR BUG Address Book's "Merge Selected Cards" DELETES CONTENT!

    I have just realized (after losing much data) that when using the Merge Selected Cards function within the Apple Address Book that it will, without notification, delete content! That's right, if the two cards share different data but have the same field labels, Address Book will merge the two and simply keep the content in the 1st record (deleting the content in the 2nd).
    For example... Two records (same contact), one record with a home-email and home-number and one with a work-email and work-number. However since both happen to have default field labels of "email" and "number" when you select "Merge..." you don't end up with two emails/numbers in the merged contact you actually only have the content from the 1st record.
    Essentially "Merge Selected Records" = "Delete 2nd Record"
    This is a major error. The feature should be removed asap until it is corrected!!

    This bug still affects the Address Book v5.0.3 which is updated with the Mac OS X 10.6.5 update which has just been released.
    Apple have been notified of this bug as far back as November 2009.
    There are at least 3 separate RADAR bug reports about this issue.
    There have been 3 Mac OS Snow Leopard updates since the bug was reported to them. The bug has not been fixed in any of these updates.
    The bug does not affect Address Book v5.0
    It does affect Address Book v5.0.1
    It does affect Address Book v5.0.2
    It does affect Address Book v5.0.3
    Apple were notified in November 2009 after Address Book v5.0.1 was released that this problem existed. We also told Apple customer support. We told the Apple Store Regent Street Geniuses. We emailed Apple Developer Bug Reporting and were initial told they were aware of it, then we received no more replies.
    The original thread in the forums detailing this issue is now archived even though the bug remains. So we cannot reply and update that thread.
    We suggest you try and make as many people at Apple aware of this issue as we think it is very poor that they are aware of a serious data loss bug for 12 months and havent rectified it in many software and Address Book app updates.

  • How Do I Delete My Old Apple ID From My iPhone When That ID No Longer Exists?

    I moved, and cancled my internet provider, losing that associated email (email #1). It was the same email I used for my Apple ID. At some point in the unknown past, the only other email adress I have (email #2) was also signed up for a speerate Apple ID
    I spoke to Apple on the phone, they walked me through changing my Apple ID from email #1 to email #2 and deleting any record of email #1. All worked fine.
    But now, my iPhone can't do anything iCloud related because it's looking for my original Apple ID with email #1. I can't download apps, I can't download podcasts and most frustrating, I can not DELETE the old Apple ID without a password, which I've tried but am told it doesn't like it - probabbly because that email doesn't exist in the first place.
    So, can I do anything before getting back on the phone with Apple?

    With iOS 7 there’s no workaround.

  • I cannot fully uninstall iTunes because I am unable to delete the commonfiles\apple folder

    I received error 42404 after updating to itunes 11, and have attempted to follow the instructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925. However, my Vista will not let me delete the commonfiles\apple folder. How can I delete it?
    The day of iTunes 11's release, I updated my iTunes, then opened up the prgm to take a look at it. I was immediately brought to the attention that the program didn't install correctly (with error 42404), so I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it, with the same error coming up. I continued to use iTunes and see if i could ignore the issue, however I discovered I was unable to log into my itunes acount on the store.
    So I followed the isntructions at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925 correctly, deleted the remaining files/folders, except I am still unable to delete the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\ folder. I attempt to delete it, it asks me for permission to do so, I say continue, and even after I give it permission to delete the folder, it instantly says to me, "You need permission to perform this action," and it gives me the options to cancel or try again (which immediately brings this same window up again asking me to try again).
    I've done plenty of research for the past two days, from attempting to delete the individual files within this folder via the Command Prompt, using Safe Mode, and many other options, yet nothing works. I've seen many forums advise using a program called "Unlocker," however, anyone googling the program will find that it is offered from a plethora of various sites, and I honestly dont trust programs from these sites.
    Is there ANYTHING anyone knows to do for an issue like this? All I need is that one folder deleted, and all my problems are gone!

    It still didn't work...
    Within this commonfiles\apple folder, there is only one folder, labeled "Internet Services." Within this folder, there are 6 folders, labeled:
    APLZOD.resources
    BookmarkDAV_client.resources
    CoreDAV.resources
    iCloud.resources
    iCloudServices.resources
    ShellStreams.resources
    Within all but CoreDAV and BookmarkDAV_client, there are multiple different folders, all labeled starting with a two letter (acronym I believe, for different languages) then .lproj (for example, a folder is labeled "ar.lproj".
    In each of the folders of APLZOD.resources, there is a file labeled "APLZODlocalized.dll."
    In all of the folders containing the multiple .lproj folders, there are likewise "name"localized.dll files contained.
    In the BookmarkDAV_client and Core DAV folders, they each contain only one file, "Info.plist"
    I attempted to delete all of these files, and still, the FileAssassin could not delete them. I unlocked one of them for instance, and I tried to delete the file myself (thru windows explorer and just clicking delete), and I still had the same issue of coming eventually to the window requesting me to "try again" to have permission.
    What can I do?? I'd like to avoid Unlocker, but if it really is a reliable and SAFE program, and someone knows a SAFE place to download it from, I'd appreciate it very much so!!
    thanks!!

  • How can I delete my first apple ID it interferes with apps I want to buy using my iCloud id

    I recently had my macbook pro worked on at apple, with great success.  I was told I would be able to delete my first apple ID which is a me.com account
    I now use I cloud and want the other to go away for good..  But it isn't as they said it would.  It interferes with purchases on my I-phone and I don't even remember the password.  Is it possible to delete it ? if so How ???

    You cannot delete an Apple ID. You can just stop using it. You should change the iCloud Apple ID address you now are using in the device to the new one you wish to use. I suggest you tab Settings > General > Reset > Settings, then reconfigure your phone this time using your new Apple ID.

  • How do I delete an alternate Apple ID?

    I logged into the Manage my Apple ID page on the Apple site and I see several email addresses associated with my Apple ID.  I also see an "alternate apple ID" and while I am able to delete or edit the email addresses, I am not able to edit or delete the alternate Apple ID.  How can I do this? 

    You are probably right, (Csound1) I'm over thinking.
    But so far seems Imp68, is right, you cannot change it.
    I have a University degree in COmputer science, and sometime I make it too complex, being a PC guy new to Mac world.
    So how do you disconnect the I-Cloud account? I tried to create a new one, but seems I would also have to create a new Apple ID as well.
    Is there something doable to transfer the i-tune purchases and I-cloud space paid fees for the year?
    Seems to be killing a mosquito with a hammer, but may be you are right, this is as simple as that...

  • How do I delete an unknown apple ID?

    I have an iPad2 running iOS7.
    Someone has set up iCloud using an email address we don't recogonise and a password we cannot guess.
    Find My phone is ON.
    Question 1. How do I delete this unwanted apple ID and replace it with mine?
    Every attempt is twarted by the request to switch off Find My Phone.

    With iOS 7, Find My iPhone includes a new feature called Activation Lock, which makes it difficult for anyone to use or sell stolen iPad.
    With Activation Lock, the Apple ID and password of original owner will be required to:
    1. Turn off Find My iPhone on your device
    2. Erase your device
    3. Reactivate and use your device

  • How do I delete a child apple id from family sharing

    Hello javyocks,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Concerning the issue with multiple Apple ID's, please look at the following:
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Take care,
