Why does watching movies from iCloud fill up storage? And why do I have to reset to clean storage?

i watch movies from iCloud. some how it fills up my storage,but I can't clear it without resetting. What am I doing wrong?

If you are talking about the movies that have the cloud icon next to them, you are not actually streaming them. You are downloading them from the cloud. If you completely download the movie, then you will be able to delete them as John Galt is describing above.
This isn't made every clear by Apple, IMO. Most people assume that they are streaming, but when you tap the cloud icon, you start downloading the movie and it can't be deleted until it is fully downloaded. I have been down this road a few times myself.

  • HT1657 why does every movie I download stops half way and says err=-50/err=-39?

    Why does every movie I download stop half way and say err=-50/err-39? I also have internet connection that is really good and it keeps saying to check that

    Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

  • How do I move my movies from iCloud to my iPad and close iCloud I hate it!,

    How do I move my movies from iCloud to my iPad  i hate iCloud!
    I Can never watch a movie on the plane unless I move it first!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    All you need to do is enable contacts in system preferences > iCloud on your Mac. Once you do this a sync will commence and your contacts application will be populated with your contacts from iCloud.

  • Why does watching movies using iTunes & Netflix judder on Apple TV?

    I have connected my Apple TV to my network both wireless & ethernet but still get the same issue.  The judder seems to happen more on sweeping camera shots.  It doesn't cause a movie to be unwatchable but it is off putting and am disgruntled when I have bought some movies via iTunes.  If this issue happened with a DVD, I could take it straight back to the shop as a faulty product but from what I've read this seems to be a known problem.  Same judder happens on Netflix however if I play it via my PS3 then it's seamless.  I have also swapped over HDMI cables with various low to high end but again makes no difference.  I don't believe it's the way the iTunes & Netflix apps are written on the Apple TV as they both have this judder.  As mentioned earlier, Netflix works fine on the PS3 so that also eliminates my internet connection (Virgin Media Optic 60MB).  So it leads me to believe that it is either a configuration, hardware or firmware issue on the Apple TV itself.  Details are Model MD199B/A, Serial C07KJABBFF54, Apple TV Software 5.3 (6105) & TV Resolution 1080p HD - 60Hz.  All Audio & Video settings are set to Auto however I have tested with specific HDMI & TV resolution outputs with the same results.  In case it helps, I have a Samsung Smart TV UE46D6500 and I turn off my Apple TV every night.  I hope one of you has a solution to this.  Many thanks.

  • Why does sending email from iCloud sometimes translate my .mac address to .me ??

    I was upset to see emails I sent while logged into iCloud showing up as from ***@me.com
    I have worked for a couple years to expunge any evidence of the me.com address from mylife - now to have iCloud randomly (not every time) translate my sending address to me.com.
    I'd like to have a setting to prevent the me.com from ever showing up or being used.  It confuses my friends and is NOT MY EMAIL ADDRESS!

    It is your email address, .me and .mac are the same thing ie: [email protected] and [email protected] go to the same destination, you. But if you don't want .me make sure when you send that .mac is the selected account.

  • While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark?  I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed.  Can someone help me?

    It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

  • Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Why can't I no longer watch movies from iTunes while they are downloading?

    Videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Store are by demand of the content owners copy protected and cannot be edited, regardless of what the software is you attempt to use. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you with that. If you need to be able to edit videos, you'll need to purchase and import the DVD - such importing is despite the content owners' efforts still legal for class use (as with any copyright issue, confirm fair use issues with your district's legal office) though we can't discuss methods here - which you'll then be able to edit.
    Regards.

  • When I try to share a project to theater I get the message Your Theater could not be opened.There was a problem reading your movies from iCloud and the project does not share. Can anyone help?

    Set up iMovie Theater and iCloud
    In order to take full advantage of the capabilities of iMovie Theater, you must be signed in to iCloud. If you are signed in to iCloud, movies and trailers shared to iMovie Theater are automatically uploaded to iCloud. You can also turn off automatic uploading, and upload just the movies and trailers you want, or delete individual movies and trailers from iCloud. For more information about the Theater, see iMovie Theater overview.
    If you sign out of your iCloud account on your Mac, all iCloud movies disappear from the Theater, but they are not deleted; the movies reappear when you sign in again. If you ever run out of space in iCloud, an alert icon appears in the top-right corner of your movie, indicating that you can’t upload new movies. For more information, click the icon. After you upgrade your iCloud storage or clear space, your movies automatically appear in iCloud again.
    Hide
    Set up automatic iCloud uploading
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and click iCloud.
    Make sure you’re signed in, and then select the Documents & Data checkbox.
    Click the Options button next to Documents & Data.
    Make sure the iMovie checkbox is selected.
    In iMovie, choose iMovie > Preferences.
    Select the “Automatically upload content to iCloud” checkbox.
    To turn off automatic uploading, deselect the checkbox.

  • HT4799 Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen.

    Why I cannot watch movies from Love film on my apple tv? The app is on my iPad and when I switch the movie from iPad to AppleTv only sound is on my TV screen and no picture.

    Many online media providers block this - Sky and Amazon Prime do too I believe.
    I would have to assume that the app providers cannot offer video Airplay for contractual reasons with the movie studios though it may just be they don;t want to enable their apps to do so.
    It's not Apple preventing this, while you could see it would be in Apple's interest to push people to the iTunes store for media it could also drive people away.

  • Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

    Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

    As long as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch it in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online - is that how you are trying to view it ?
