Have the iPhone 4. Went to download a movie I rented on itunes (Get Him To the Greek) so we could watch it at the fire station. It downloaded 3.2 of the 3.5 gb and then stopped. Everytime I "tap to retry" it gives me "download error". So i tried renting again and now I have two download errors and probably two charges on my account dang it!

My question is, how do I get what already downloaded off my phone? It's still stuck in there using up my memory. My buddy, who is very MAC proficient, and I tried everything to try and clear it out. I hooked it up to my iTunes on my PC and I can't find it there, but it shows 3.7 gb of "other" on my memory bar and 3.2 gb of it is that movie.

try going into a normal PC ( not Mac ) and going to the My Computer thing. There you will find another drive for your iphone. Open that up and it might be in there. At least that is where all my junk goes on my 3G iPhone.

Have you tried resetting the phone? Hold 'power' and 'home' buttons for ~10 seconds and you'll see the apple logo.

iPhone vs Droid is like Mac vs PC.

An iPhone is always an iPhone where the Android OS is just an OS. When someone buys a 'droid' phone there's no telling what sensors, processor, memory... are included.

Kind of how a Mac is a Mac but a PC could have AMD or Intel processors, AMD or nVidia graphics cards (made by different manufacturers)...

Did a hard reset work? Worst case scenario you could just restore a backup or go factory default and reenter contacts/redownload apps.

What are you talking about they always list the chipset. Processor. And other internal specs for droid.
Also if you had a droid and did a factory reset you don't have to re enter contacts. Just login into your gmail and it syncs contacts adresses emails calenders. Oh and market will also automatically download your last apps. Just sayin. But I don't wanna start a fanboy war

Listing the chipset for a single handset is not what I was talking about. Android OS will run on many different 'platforms' that don't all have the same hardware. Droid is a term that is used to both describe the Motorola Droid series of handsets (note I said series of as there are different ones with differing internals) and the Android OS which can run not only on Motorola hardware but also on HTC, Samsung, Sony... and each can and do incorporate their own custom modifications to the base OS.

This is why Netflix has yet to show up for android devices. Differing DRM schemes depending on manufacturer and network differences. news link

Anyways, this isn't an iOS vs Android debate and shouldn't be. I like Android OS and iOS about equally I just happen to have an iPhone 3GS (which I'm currently trying to get to dual boot Android).

OP, did you ever get your phone working?
