Q: How do i delete digital copies of movies from my ipad that got automatically added?  There is no X when editing.

So i just upgraded my iPad2 to 7.0.4.  I'm pretty disappointed.  Aside from it looking incredibly cheap, i lost some understood functionality in my movie center (Videos).

 

All of the sudden, my itunes digital copy movies are on the iPad (were not before upgrading), and there is no button to delete them.  They are not set to sync through iTunes, and i cannot get rid of them.

 

Other problems with movies that i cannot solve:

 

The iPad lies to me in iTunes about how much free space i have.  Once i sync a movie, it reads correct.  But, if i select or deselect a movie, the free space listed is completely wrong.

 

Lastly, with the new Video app, how can i get it to list the name of the movie on the listing screen under the picture?  I have to tap a movie to find out what it is.  I NEED to be able to see the movie names without having to touch each one individually.

 

Thanks.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iOS 7.0.4

    Are you sure they are on the device?  Sounds like they are just in iCloud. Do they have a cloud icon next to them?  If they do they aren't on your device and as such not taking up space.  If you don;t want to see them you can go to Settings->Videos->Show All Videos and turn it off. This will hide all your iCloud movies from the videos App. but again they aren't really on your device.

    Unfortunately that's not something you can change. To see the titles you need to tap on the movie. I guess Apple assumes the cover art already has the name so there is no need to repeat it.
