iPad mini Can't erase movies off mini, researched heavily online, nothing works

Restore your Mini.

 

Are these in the native Music and Videos apps? Or are they in a different app?

 

Using iTunes?

If you are using iTunes and syncing to it, connect the device and click it when it shows up in iTunes.

Then, put a check in Manually Manage Movies and Music. This will wipe out all of both on the device and then you can copy content from iTunes to the device and/or delete content from the device.

 

You don't see an Edit button in the upper right hand corner of your videos? If you do, click that and an "X" will appear next to each video. Hit the X, and that will delete the video. Music yup have to do through iTunes, or swipe each track from right to left to delete. After you've deleted all the tracks, the album will disappear.

Once that is all done, do the manually manage music and videos as described above. Only the videos and music you check on iTunes will sync with your iPad after that. YouTube videos can help quite a bit.

P.S. I attached a pic of the Edit option your screen should have. Click it, X's appear next to each video, tap the X and they're history. "Done" will appear where the "Edit" option is, so tap that when you're done.

 

Are they rented movies? My mini did this exact thing several months ago with a few iTunes movie rentals - had to plug it into a computer with iTunes to fix it. Or maybe you can try a reset?

 

Is there a cloud symbol with an arrow by the movies?

If so, you need to go to settings, iTunes & App Store, and turn Music and Movies off.

 

Wait. You're gonna get an Ipad Air when you cant even afford food? What would your father say about that?

 

If you did not use a laptop to add the movies to the iPad....then what did you do to get the movies on the iPad? Direct from the store? From an email?

If from the store are you sure it even downloaded on to the iPad? Is there a cloud symbol in the lower right of the movie artwork? If so then it is not on your iPad, it is in the cloud.

 

I think we need more info to help. Mainly how did you buy/transfer the media you are unable to delete... Screenshots?

 

Settings > videos > show all videos > off

 

Were these videos and songs you purchased from iTunes? I'm guessing there were videos from icloud on your account. These were not videos/songs that were physically on the device, but were available to stream from icloud. There was likely a little cloud symbol in the lower right corner.
