Can you watch a rented/purchased movie on iPad 2 when NOT connected to wi-fi(airplane)

Can you watch a rented/purchase movie on iPad 2 when NOT connected to wi-fi (airplane mode)

Some people have posted that they've needed to be online when starting to watch a rental, so you may want to watch a few seconds whilst you still have internet connection - after starting to watch a rental you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, before it expires

  • How many times can you watch a rented movie in iTunes?

    Title describes the question. I'm thinking about either buying or renting a movie in iTunes, so question is how many times can you watch a rented movie? Just once? X times within a given timeframe? Thanks,

    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library. Happy movie watching!

  • HT1657 Can you watch a rented movie in flight

    Can you watch a rented movie from iTunes in flight?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
    You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.

  • Can I watch a rented iTunes movie on my MacBook Pro on an airplane?

    I will be flying tomorrow and was wondering if I can watch a rented iTunes movie on my MacBook Pro on the airplane. I have read if it is set in airplane mode that I can, but I want to be sure and was also wondering, if I can, do I have to watch it through a special app besides itunes. Any help or information would be great. Thanks!

    Airplane mode?  What's that? 
    For the record, my Macbook Pro has been on many flights for the past 5 years and not once have I heard the pilot announce that everyone put all computers on airplane mode? 

  • How can I watch a rented iTunes movie on my Apple TV?

    I tried to:
    select the movie in iTunes
    Advanced>Create iPad or Apple TV version
    The "Create iPad or Apple TV Version" menu is not active.
    I have Apple TV version 1
    iTunes 10.5.2
    Thanks for any help,
    Jimmy

    Only Movies you have purchased will show up in "Movies" on your Apple TV. These get streamed and do not require any computer to be turned on in your house.  Unfortunately, Apple has not made playing of rented movies that easy.  art308 essentially answered this at the very beginning of the discussion.  You must turn on Home Sharing on the computer you rented the movie.  In iTunes on your computer go to the top menu bar and under "File" you will see "Home Sharing." Enter your Apple ID, etc. to get Home Sharing up and running on that computer.  You also need to turn on Home Sharing on your Apple TV.  If you have more than one computer in your house, it is probably a good idea to turn on Home Sharing on all your computers while you're at it...unless you have some unique reason why you do not want that functionality active on some of the computers.  To confirm Home Sharing is on, and if you have more than one computer running iTunes at home, look at the left menu bar in iTunes (the new version of iTunes does not have that visible by default, but I choose to have it visible).  Under "Shared" you will see the iTunes libraries that are included in your Home Sharing network-assumeing those computers are on.
    Now, when you go to your Apple TV you need to go to "Computers."  You will see a list of all the iTunes Libraries that are in your Home Sharing network that are turned on.  The computers that are off will not show up. Click on the one that contains your rented movie.  Start playing.
    I must say...this is one heck of a pain.  This would all be much easier if you could go to "Movies" on your Apple TV and see a listing of all your active rented movies...even those not rented on the Apple TV.  Personally, I think the way Apple has this set up goes against its mantra of..."It just Works."

  • Can you watch a presentation simultaneously on multiple iPads?

    Hi,
    I wanted to know if it's possible to watch a presentation simultaneously on multiple iPads?
    Preferably one of the iPads should be the "leader" and decide when to go to the next page.
    Maybe someone knows if there is an option via Bluetooth or and excisting App.
    Hope someone can help me answer this question.
    Rg,
    J.

    We just tested a Cisco Webex Product yesterday amd it works great.  The ipad cannot truly function as the meeting moderator( by sharing it's own desktop), though it can initiate the meeting, "pass the ball" to another participant, and add participants from the device contact list. 

  • Unable to watch movie on iPad because not connected to Internet.

    I rented my first movie from the iTunes Store yesterday and downloaded it to my iPad 3 to watch on a flight today. But after we reached altitude and we could turn on our electronics, I was unable to watch the movie because I wasn't connected to wifi or cellular data. If the movie was downloaded, why would I have to be online to watch it?  Kind of makes the iPad useless for watching movies on flights, and since I've seen other people doing it, something must have gone wrong.  Can anyone help on this?  Thanks.

    Yes, it fully downloaded. I don't have any other movies. This was my first shot at it. Thought I'd give it a try as I had a 4-hour flight today. I was in airplane mode, of course, and when I tried to start the movie I got a message saying I wasn't connected to wifi or cellular data. So I had to read the u s airways magazine five times (ugh!).

  • How can i watch an itunes purchased movie on my regular tv?

    I purchased a few movies on Itunes store. I would like to watch those on my regular TV. How would I do this?

    You can also connect your MacBook directly to your TV via an appropriate adapter. Note that if the movies are HD, your TV has to support HDCP.
    Regards.

  • HT4059 how can i read books when not connected to wifi , at the moment have to g through apps store , which requires a connection . I want the books on the i pad not in  a acloud

    How can i read books purchased from i books when not connected to wifi . At the moment can only access via app store , which can only do when connected . I want top download to the device , not keep in a cloud!

    If you download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app on your iPad then they should show in the Books collection on the app's bookshelf - and you should be able to read any books that you download from the store to your bookshelf without needing to be online.
