Q: Downloading movies from the store.

I can never download a movie from the istore.  It always says I don't have enough memory.  I have probably 4 apps on the device and even when just got the 50mb of memory.  Still says I don't have enough memory to buy a movie.  Not sure what to do

    It sounds like you need more storage or that you need to remove content to make room.

     

    Not sure what you are asking.

     

    Please explain

    Thanks for replying.

     

    When i go into the storage setting, it says I've used 7.8GB and have 3.8 GB left. 

    In the Icloud storage setting i have 50 GB available.

    It won't let me purchase a movie from the I store.

    I have probably 3 apps on this thing.  Just seems weird that I've used up so much storage to where I can't download a movie.  I can't even see enough apps in the settings that I could delete that get anywhere close to 7.8 GB.  Probably adds up to  1 GB.  Can you download a move from the I Store and it gets stored in your cloud gb?

    iCloud storage has nothing to do with it. iCloud is a service that allows you to redownload some iTunes purchases.

     

    If you want the movie to be on your iPhone, then you need enough room on your iPhone for the movie.
