Why when downloading a movie is my iPad incapable of doing anything else except freezing

The last few weeks when downloading movies from iTunes both rental and purchased my iPad seems to freeze when doing anything else at the same time and I have to give it a hard restart. Help would be appreciated.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Make sure there's sufficient storage space. Tap Settings > General > About > Available

  • HT1725 How do I fix, "Download error." when downloading a movie to my iPad?

    I started to downloaded a movie but now get and error when trying to resume. On ITunes it says "downloading" when it clearly isn't.  I am also unable to delete the download in the download tab on ITunes. Please help.

    I found a SAP note, that is exactly what I expected, and now it is  solved.

  • When you download a movie with your ipad, to play it back to you need access to the internet to play it

    when downloading a movie to your ipad, is there a way to download it, so when you play it back you do not have to have access to the internet?

    If it 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.
    If it's a rental then I've seen some posts saying that you need to be online when starting to play it (which you could whilst you still have internet access, though rentals only last for 24 hours in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, after starting to play them).

  • Hi,  I am trying to find out if i can download a movie to my Ipad.

    I have a movie that i have downloaded using Itunes on my IMac at home.  But I forgot to sync the Ipad to the Mac.
    Now i would like to watch the movie BUT i am away for a period of time and need to down load it to my IPad direct.
    When i have tried to do this Itunes wants to charge me again for a movie I have already bought.
    IS there a way of downloading a movie to the IPad with out paying again. Icloud doesn't want to work on it either.
    Many Thanks Peeps
    P.

    Unless you are in the US with a US iTunes account then you can't re-download films for free (and not all film studios are currently allowing their films to be re-downloaded).

    Trying to download a movie on my iPad and constantly receive a download error tap to retry. iPad has enough capacity.

    Tap to retry to download and when it starts attempting to download again tap on the pause button. Once it is paused, tap the button again to resume the download. However you need to be really fast doing this!
    Good luck!

  • HT2729 From my iTunes how do I download my movies to my iPads 3?

    From my iTunes how do I get my movies to download onto my iPad 3 ,or should I ask we're are they were I ve done everything else .

    When you sync movies to the iPad - look for them in the videos app.
    This is how I sync movies.
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Movies Tab on the right.
    Click on the movies that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Movies Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

  • I downloaded a movie to my ipad and it wont work

    I downloaded a movie to my Ipad but it wont work does anybody know what i can do to fix?

    What happens when you try to play it in the Videos app - is the Videos app frozen, does it play part way and then stop ... ?
    If the Videos app appears to be frozen then try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I was downloading a movie on my iPad and I stopped downloading it and I want to delete it and it won't. How do you delete it in the iTunes for iPad

    I was downloading a movie on my iPad and I stopped downloading it and I want to delete it and it won't. How do you delete it in the iTunes for iPad.

    If you tap and hold down the icon - and the X does not appear on the icon - you will not be able to delete it without totally downloading it. Finish the download and then delete it.

  • I have downloaded a movie onto my iPad. Can I connect that to my TV via my Apple TV and how can i do it?

  • I can't download itunes movies to my iPad; it doesn't recognize the wifi.

    I am trying to download a movie to my iPad.  I receive an error message each time telling me I must be connected to Wifi; however, I am connected.  My daughter is trying on our Apple TV and computer and receives the same error message.  We just performed the 5.1 update.  Could this be the problem?  Some internal conflict with the software?

    Try it again now.  This was a system error on Apple's end....the message had nothing to do with what was wrong (and there was nothing wrong with your setup or system).
    This started working again at about 8pm CST for me.
    This affected rentals and purchases (for me it was on iTunes through my computer hard wired to a network).
    If you look at the error message you'll notice that its a mix of upper case and lower case words and the message itself actually doesn't make much sense - my guess is that it was a meaningless error message created by developers during testing before....just a guess.
