Can I watch movies without WIFI connection

I did a search for this question and did find  answers but they were from a couple years ago. I am wondering if something may have changed with new technology.
If I rent a movie from Itunes and download it, can I watch it on an airplane without having to connect to their wifi? I seem to have a hard time connecting to inflight wifi. Thanks so much.

After starting to watch a rental you can watch it multiple times during the 48 hours (if you are in the US then it's 24 hours). Some people have posted that they need to be online when starting to watch a rental, so you may want to watch a few seconds whilst you still have internet connection (though that will start the 48 / 24 hour countdown).
You can watch purchased films as many times as you like, they don't expire, you just need to keep a copy of it to be able to watch it in the future (there is no guarantee that any item will remain in the store for redownloading). If you buy a film on your iPad then you can copy it (and any other iTunes download) over to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it.

    Why can't I watch movies on my iPod touch?

    I remeber some otherusers have the same problem but do not remember the solution. I would try start watching it with wifi on and then see if you can play the whole movie again without wifi. 

  • HT1657 Watching movie without internet connection

    Rented a movie at itunes and wanted to watch without internet connection. Is this possible?

    A rental movie has to be authorized before you can play it, so you need an Internet connection and the ATV needs to be logged into your iTunes account.

  • Once you have downloaded a movie do you have to be connected to wifi to watch it?  or can you watch somewhere without wifi

    Just need to know if I can watch a movie I rent on itunes when I'm not connected to wifi.

    As long as the equipment on which you want to watch it is already authorized you do not need a connection.

  • TS3623 is it possible to watch rented movies without being connected to internet?

    Is it possible to watch rented (itunes) movies without being connected to internet?

    Being connected to WiFi or a cell network has nothing to do with charging. The iPad will charge when connected to the charger or an appropriate USB port regardless of whether the iPad is connected to a network of any type, or even has ever had such a network connection set up.
    Regards.

    The proxy setting is located in the WiFi network details. Go to Settings > WiFi and touch the "i" to the right side of your network to see what they are.

    I am deploying to Afghanistan and I will not have wifi access.  I will have a hardline access to internet.  How do I sync my apps, newsstand, etc without wifi connection?

    About the only other way I can think of is to have a computer with you or use one there, if you can put iTunes on it and download all your new stuff to the computer, then sync your iPad to that computer.
    In switching computers you will lose previous content, but, as I understand it anyway, downloaded content will be the same as long as the same apple ID is used.

  • HT1657 Can you watch movies on an airplane? Is the movie streaming.

    Can you watch movies on an airplane? Is the movie streaming.

    Movies from the iTunes Store download to your device; they do not stream. Under normal circumstances, once the movie has completely downloaded, an Internet connection should no longer be required. In a few instances, I've seen reports of people encountering problems when trying to view a rental in absence of an Internet connection, but such glitches seem to be rare.

  • I lost my ipod, can i check it's wifi connection log to know where it is?

    i heard you can check it's recent wifi connections, where? how?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
