Do you have to be connected to the internet to watch a rented movie on my ipad after I download it?

I am getting on a flight on Saturday and want to be able to download movies to rent before I leave but want to make sure after I download them at home that I don't have to be connected to wifi to watch them.

No, once downloaded you can play it whenever you like.

HT1657 Do I need to be connected to the internet to watch a rented movie once it is downloaded?

If I rent a movie from iTunes and I download it to my phone. Do I need to be connected to the internet to watch the movie?

Some posts have suggested that you need to be online when starting to watch the film - so if you want to watch it somewhere where you won't have internet then you could watch a few seconds of the film when you do (you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, from when you start watching a rental until it expires)

Do you have to be connected to the internet for the download to complete?

Sure. Or where else do you think those files would be coming from?

As long as the film has been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch it without being online.

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.

Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

HT1657 once my rented movie is downloaded do i have to be connected to the internet to watch it?

I want to download a rented movie to watch where i don't have internet can I do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

Unable to verify update. iOs 8.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet.

I have updated my iPad, my wife's iPad, but both our iPhones (5S) and (5C), give the following error every time we try.
"Unable to verify update. iOs 8.0.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet."
We are obviously connected to the internet because the updated downloaded on all 4 devices, but the iPhones will not go the next step.
Wifi ok
Connection ok

Apple has pulled the iOS 8.0.1 update due to problems.
iOS 8.0.2 will be released in "the next few days".
Loss of cellular service or ability to use Touch ID after updating to iOS 8.0.1 on iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus
We have a workaround for you if you have an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus and you lost cellular service and Touch ID functionality today after updating to iOS 8.0.1. You can reinstall iOS 8 through iTunes by following the instructions below. We are also preparing iOS 8.0.2 with a fix for the issue, and will release it as soon as it's ready in the next few days.

I tried powering down and re-starting the iPhone (as suggested at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275). This seems to have cleared the "...not connected to the Internet" problem, and iOS 6.1 is now in the process of downloading.
Thanks very much for your feedback.

Yes you may have to be from time to time, as it will often check home for authorisation.

Try this and see if it resolves the issue.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Then try again.

HT4623 update to ios 6.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the internet, when I am connected to my Wifi. Do I need to adjust some settings?

Update to IOS 6.1.1 failed verification because you are no longer connected to the Internet when using home Wifi and verifing connectivity by using Safari to surf net and viewing wifi setting. Do setting need to be adjusted?

This is what worked for me: Double tap your home button to bring up the programs running in the back ground, press and hold so they show the red close option and close all programs. After that shut your iphone down and power back on. Immediately go to General>Software Update and it should work. Good Luck

My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 I can't upgrade to iOS 7. Message displayed is "Verification of update failed because you are no longer connected to the internet." This happens while I am connected to the internet. What should I do?

My iPad mini iOS version is 6.0.2 which I can't upgrade to iOS 7. Message displayed during verifying upgrade is "Can't verify upgrade because you are no longer connected to the internet". This happens again and again though I am connected to the internet through wifi. What should I do?

Reset the iPad and try again. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Reset your router and try again. Unplug your router from power for about 30 seconds then plug it in again.
Try another WiFi Network. Go to a friend's house, a library, anywhere else that you can use a trusted WiFi network.
Try updating using iTunes on your computer.
