    I have a 32 mg iPad and just bought movies, there isn't enough space to download them all, I've deleted lots of apps but still need 4 gab. My iCloud show that's I've 5gb free but I can't figure out how to transfer a movie so the last one I purchased will download.

    Also, when movies are showing up in I tunes and also in video folder does this mean that they are duplicated? Thank you

    If it's an iTunes purchased film you can just delete it. Apple allow you to re-download purchased content at no extra charge. It's called iTunes in the Cloud.

    The free iCloud storage you mentioned is really only for syncing app-related content and settings between devices. You can't use it as additional storage space.

    Thanks for that.

    I decided to buy some extra storage, just 16 euro but its still showing up that there isn't enough space! Any ideas?

    You misunderstood my post. There was no need purchase additional iCloud storage. As I said, iCloud CANNOT be used as additional storage to supplement your iPad memory. It's for backups and syncing app data only. You CANNOT transfer content onto it to save space on your iPad. It's not like an external hard drive in the cloud.

    The only solution to your problem is to free up space to make room for the new content. Apple allow you to re-download purchased content at no extra charge, so just delete one of the previously purchased films.

    Hi just wanted to come back on to thank you for letting me know that cloud is not extra space.

    I have contacted apple for a refund and they told me that if I delete movies they cannot resend them for free, this service is only available in the US.

    I assume you checked: settings -> general -> usage which will show straight away what the highest users of your storage space are? Anything you can delete? If you've a lot of videos on your cameraroll maybe you can get rid if some (deleting photos doesn't really help much, videos do). You can always transfer them to your pc before you delete them.
    Same goes for movies, connect to iTunes and select "transfer purchases from iPad", this should put the so movies on your pc so you can get rid of them on your iPad, but you can always sync them back onto iPad at a later stage...
    You could also choose "check for available downloads" in iTunes on your pc and see if the movies download to your pc. They should and then you can select which ones you want (or don't want) synced to your iPad.
