    Hi Zachary,

    I understand that you want to cancel a movie download on your iPad because it's going to take a long time. I know that it's important to have control over your devices, so I'm happy to provide some direction to help with this.

    To cancel a Movie download:

    1. Open the iTunes Store app
    2. At the bottom, tap Downloads
    3. Tap Edit in the top left corner
    4. Select the items you wish to cancel
    5. Tap Delete in the top left corner

     

    Now you'll be able to continue using it as you wish. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities, cheers!
