HT1657 Can I rent a movie now and watch it on an airplane without an Internet connection?
Once you rent the movie from itunes, does it down load to your device so you can watch it later without a wifi connection?
It will download onto the device or computer that you rent it on. If you are doing it on your iPad, then as long as it has completed downloading to the Videos app then you should be able to watch it without being online

HT1657 Can a movie be watched on an airplane without a internet connection?
Can an Itunes movie be watched on an airplane without an internet connection? If so, how does it know when to start the 24 hour timer for the movie to be deleted?
In theory it should work, in reality many keep coming here stating it did not work. Things get a little muddled as location services and time-zones can cause all kinds of glitches when travelling at jet speeds.

I have purchased and downloaded some TV Shows through iTunes. How can I watch them on my iPad without an internet connection?
Demo the same thing happened to me. I purchased a seasons pass for Sons of Anarchy Season 6 and I've got the eposides on my IPad but Airplay won't allow me to watch the episodes without an internet connection or WiFi. Is there anything else I can do so that I can watch these eposides without an internet or wifi connections?

HT1657 Can i rent a movie and then watch it without a wi-fi connection???
i want to know if i can rent a movie from the itunes store and watch it on an airplane???
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. -
I guess I'm wondering if it will download now and the movie be on my PC for the next 30 days until I start to watch it? Or will I need internet access while I'm away to watch it.
I'd rather rent now and not buy it.As far as I know rentals can only be downloaded once, I think that it's just bought films that can be re-downloaded (which isn't possible in all some countries).

HT1390 Can you watch a rented movie without an internet connection?
It is my hope to rent a movie today
and watch it while on a flight tomorrow.
Can I watch a rented movie without an internet connection?
I.e: is it streamed or downloaded?
Do I have to buy the movie in order to watch it without an internet connection?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.

In the process, I ended up renting the movie 2x and had to accept to be able to get the PLAY button to pop up on the screen. I watched to movie but do not want to be charged 2x for rental.
How can I remove one of the charges?You can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Apple TV keeps asking my for my 3digit Credit Card verification code and I punch it in, it still asks me for it, and went to my computer on iTunes store, checked the code, all is set and saved, go back to Apple TV still can't rent a movie, I still get the same Verification Required message without any further information after I punch in my 3digits. When I hit submit, the page goes back to the same place to type the code again, and yes the code is 100% accurate. I tried restoring the apple tv, every thing is up to date on all devices and signed in and out of my itunes store on my Mac, still no luck. Please help!
This issue actually started a week ago... see: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23399558#23399558
to determine if there are the same problems you are experiencing. I have spent over 6 hours on this issue trying to isolate if it is a hardware, software, network, iTunes account, or Apple device issue. My initial results indicate it is a software specific issue related to the Apply TV hardware device. -
I rented a movie today and accidentally deleted it, how do I get it back without paying again?
As far as I know rentals are one-off downlaods, but you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

Why I can't rent a movies in iTunes I'm using ipad2 and if I view movies in iTunes it's not available in migrating store
If you live in a country where the feature is not available, you will not be able to rent movies. Not all iTunez content is available worldwide.
You can see what is available where you live here.

HT1657 When you rent a movie from iTunes does it need to be on coverflow and not grid?
I can't watch any TV shows/Movies/Music Videos unless there on my Ipod . The picture shows up fragmented and when the video does show up the sound is distored.
If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into its Videos app, and you should be able to watch it without being online - though some people have posted that they need to be online when first starting to watch a rental, so you may want to watch a few seconds whilst you have internet connection (you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, after starting to watch a rental before it expires).

I rented a movie tonight but it completely stops 13 minutes in and goes to a green screen. My internet connection is fine, any suggestions?
Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode
