#ISTUMBLER IPAD MOVIE#
#ISTUMBLER IPAD PC#

Given that this is the 16GB model (whose actual capacity is 13.8GB go figure), that doesn’t leave room for very many 2.7GB movie downloads. When I got back home from the trip, I plugged the iPad into my Mac and launched iTunes and iTunes told me that there’s 10GB of “other” content.

I can’t fix this problem on the iPad itself (so much for the post-PC era: you need a PC to configure or troubleshoot your post-PC device!) and now it’s been 2 hours and we don’t have time to watch a movie anyway. And again trying to download it says there’s no space available, and going back to Settings: General: Usage, there’s 2.7GB (the size of the movie) less than there had been when I started the download. At the end of the download, the iPad spent another 5 minutes saying “processing”, then gave me a generic error message, and kicked me back to the state where the movie is not available for playback but is available for download. So I deleted Infinity Blade to free up a gigabyte, invoked the download, and waited another 40 minutes while it downloaded the movie again. I go to Settings: General: Usage and look at the breakdown of what’s using how much space, and the individual app usage doesn’t add up to anywhere close to what it says is used, but I don’t have many options here. So apparently when I first purchased the movie, there was enough storage to download it, but then something went wrong with the download, it silently canceled the download without showing me any error message whatsoever, and now there’s not enough space for it? That’s hard to explain, but whatever, there’s nothing to do but try to clear space and download it again. Upon clicking that, it told me it can’t download it because there’s not enough storage available.

The iTunes store app didn’t have any downloads in progress, and going back to the Purchases tab, it had the cloud icon next to our movie. The Videos app said “no videos, but you can cruise over to the store to buy one”. I cruised over to the increasingly inaccurately named iTunes store and found Safety Not Guaranteed which looked interesting so clicked Buy, waited for it to start downloading, watched the progress bar long enough to verify it looked like it would take about 40 minutes to download, and took Dominic out for a walk so he’d fall asleep, with the idea that in 40 minutes we’d have a sleeping baby and a watchable movie.ĭominic behaved as I’d hoped the iPad didn’t after about an hour I grabbed the iPad to find absolutely no sign of the movie. Vanessa and I went on a weekend trip to Orange County with Dominic and wanted to relax by watching a movie when he was napping, and the easiest vehicle for this seemed to be our iPad.
