HT1657 can i watch rented itune movies on ipad while flying?

Basically heading to Hawaii, woulld prefer not to carry bulky lap top and utilize the benefits of an iPad.  Is it possible to rent, not buy HD movies from iTunes and have them avaialble to watch while flying overseas?  thanks.

There are films available to rent in the iTune store, but it's the film studio's choice as to whether a particular film is available as a rental, and if it is whether it's in HD and/or SD.
As lomg as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced) to the iPad's Videos app then you should be able to watch it whilst offline.

  • I have new IPad ...can't watch rented downloaded movie on my tv..error message is " The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies"... What is up with that???

    I had exact same problem and I have found a way to get round out!!!! Easy!
    So the reason it doesn't allow it to play is for security to stop piracy etc.
    Plug in the cable and VGA and aux cable and get everything set up so you are looking at the home screen.
    1) select Videos
    2) selected the film you want to watch
    3) click the little play button
    4) it will then come up with the message saying it can't play protected films blah blah blah
    5) WITHOUT clicking ok double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar and swipe left to reveal the control panel
    6) hold fast forward for a second or two and the movie with continue to play!
    Stay in the multi tasking bar with the control panel, The message will stay there but don't worry. Kick back and enjoy your iPad movie on the big screen:)
    I'm sure your saying thanks:) it was my pleasure realising I've outsmarted apples little security protection thing lol

  • IPhone restarting when watching Rented iTunes movies!

    As the title of the thread says, my iPhone restarts whenever I try and watch Rented iTunes movies on it.
    And it is just rented movies that cause the issue, if I rip a DVD and convert to iPhone friendly it plays all the way through quite happily. But with the rented ones, they play for about 7 mins before the iphone restarts.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    have you taken any troubleshooting steps? (reset, restore, resync....etc).
    mine was restarting itself randomly in ANY application. even after a restore (as a new phone), it did it as i was redoing all my settings. long story short, my phone was ultimately replaced by apple.

  • HT1657 Can I watch rented movies from iTunes on a plane !

    Can I watch rented movies from iTunes on an airplane ?

    As long as the films have been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch them without an internet connection.

  • HT1657 Can you watch rented movies in airplane mode?

    can you watch rented movies from itunes on your iphone in airplane mode?

    Actually, I just called AppleCare and they told me that an Internet connection was required. I tried it anyways. Once the rented movie is fully downloaded onto your iPad, it will appear in the Videos app, in the Rentals section. From there, even if you turn the airplane mode on, you should be able to press the play button and watch the movie. Note that I rented the movie in HD format and that I use the iPad 3rd generation.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,

  • HT1657 can i watch rented movies on my ipad with no wifi? Like on a plane trip?

    can i watch rented movies on my ipad with no wifi? Like on a plane trip?

    Yes. although you do occasionally hear about people having problems.  If your trip is less than 24 hours, it might be a good idea to start the movie while you're connected to WiFi (which will start the rental clock ticking) and pause it.  You're not supposed to have to do this, but some people swear it prevents the occasional glitch.  I've only rented a couple of movies and they worked find on the plane.

  • Can I watch an iTunes movie rental on a TV connected via mini displayport?

    I'm not sure if there's been any headway with this, but I've got a mini displayport to HDMI adaptor on the way that I'm going to use to connect my MacBook Pro to my HDTV, effectively using the TV as an external monitor.
    And of course, I want to watch some iTunes movie rentals on the TV instead of my laptop, but digging around the internet has shown that I might be facing an issue relating to the HDCP standard that would prevent me from being able to use my TV in this manner.
    Is this still an issue? I have a fall 2009 MacBook Pro, which may be important, as I've read that Apple modified the mini displayport on the MacBooks in 2010.
    Other than renting a movie as a sort of guinea pig with the possibility of being shot down and wasting my money, is there any way to know if this is going to work? Or is it simply a fact that any monitor/TV connected to my MacBook through the mini displayport is incompatible with HDCP, and I'm totally out of luck?
    (Which, FYI Apple, is utter horse **** and is absolutely counter-productive to the notion of encouraging me to pay for digital entertainment.)
    What are your thoughts, folks?

    If your HDTV is HDCP compliant, you probably will have no problems. But you might want to read this information which while written a while back still, to the best of my knowledge, applies:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/16488
    HDCP compliance is, from what I've read, rather a "rubber ruler" so even if your TV lists as being HDCP, it might or might not work correctly with your Mac. Testing with one movie first might avoid an expensive surprise.
    As to your complaint to Apple, it probably wasn't up to Apple but instead was forced on them as part of the conditions by the content owners for licensing movies and shows to the iTunes Store. But feel free to comment to Apple via their feedback pages:

    Can I watch a rented movie on a flight?

    Yes.
    But be aware, "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."
