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)

HT1657 Do in need to be on the internet to watch my rented movie

Do in need to be on the internet to watch my rented movie

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.

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.

HT1695 I have owner my iPad for approx six months. I have been connected to the Internet from my home thru my Wifi with no problems. Suddenly four days ago I have not been able to get my IPad to connect to my home wireless. All other computers in my home

To follow up on my question. Only because this is the first time I am using this forum.
I have owned the iPad for approximately six months.
I have been using the iPad at home thru my wireless network, no problems.
In addition to my IPad I connect to the intent with my laptop, and my cell phone. No problem.
Suddenly approximately five days ago I have not been able to connect my IPad to the Internet. Laptop and cell phone still connect.
However when I leave my home I am able to connect my IPad from the Public Library and from Starbucks.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to get connected from my home.
Not sure how or when I can expect a response to this problem.
Thanks
Bill

Thanks, however I am not familiar with the Sleep and Homekey buttons on my IPad.
What I plan to do when I get home from Starbucks is, Settings/general/Reset/reset network
I have rebooted my router no luck.
Am I missing something on not knowing about the Sleep and Homekey?
Thanks,
Bill

HT1657 Is it necessary to be connected to the internet to watch a movie?

Does someone know if this is necessary? I'd like to watch a rental on my way to the Dominican Republic, but I've absolutely no clue if its necessary to have an internet connection to start or watch a rental. Hope someone is able to help me.

As long as the film has been fully downloaded then you shouldn't need to be online in order to then watch it.

Ever since i updated my phone to iOS.6 I have troubles connecting to the internet and the app store and iTunes app take longer to load

It keeps saying 'Unable to join' with my home internet and my work internet, i have forgotten both networks several times, but with my home one it keeps disconnecting with my work internet connection it connects but sometimes asks me to join then comes up ' Unable to join '
The App Store and iTunes takes ages to load, sometimes it is quicker without internet!!
I could get onto both of those apps quickly with the previous download, i current have iOS. 6
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

I have no more tricks up my sleeve other than maybe it is a firewall issue with your router.
You can tap or click on the heading below and read Apple's take on the issue. I really don't hold out much hope though that his kb article has any more to offer to you, but I am out of ideas now.

I have a MacBook pro and an IPAD. My MacBook gets wi fi but my IPAD does not ... and yet both have been connecting to the Internet for four years. Why isn't my IPAD connecting now?

I have a macbook pro and an ipad ... both have which regularly connected to the web through my airport for two years ... now, my ipad won't connect ... and the genius bar says my ipad is ok. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the cause and the cure?

Can your iPad connect to other Wi-Fi networks? If so, is it possible that you may have configured your AirPort to restrict access to the iPad by including the iPad's MAC address in the AirPort's Timed Access Control settings?

My Airport base station has a status message that says "This AirPort base station doesn't have any DNS server addresses and might have trouble connecting to the internet." What does this mean and how can I fix it?

My internet is still working, but it's very intermittent. This happened after I updated the firmware a few days ago.

Did you remember to completely power cycle the entire network?
You would want to do this after any update or change to the network.
If you did not do this yet......things are out of sequence.
Power off everything on the network.....all devices.....power down order is not important
Wait a few minutes
Start the modem first and let it run a minute or two by itself
Start the next device connected to the modem the same way
Work your way out on the network starting each device about a minute apart
Check the network

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.

Does one have to connected to the internet at all times to use the newest way of using Photoshop?

I live in an area with no internet (yes, it is possible!), but at work have it. If I want to work at home, will that be a problem?

Well to use the Cloud based assets, yes. Depending on the subscription, CC needs that Internet connection to check your subscription. Every 30 days for a monthly plan. 99 days if you have an annual plan.
If for some reason you get signed out of CC, then you need Internet to sign back in. It can be a wireless hotspot at a cafe or other public wifi or a friend's, but you will need internet to sign in. CC pushes updates as they become available, so you want to check at least once a month.
So no, not at all times if you are using the software only.

What is Verizon suggesting? They probably have a better idea of 3G or EVDO coverage than anyone here.

I have a connection to the internet but I can't connect

Hi,
OK here's my problem, I'm running an internet connection through a ADSL modem with four ports, one port going to my power book the other to my Xbox. Now 100% positive that it's not a modem issue as my xbox can access an internet connection.
But my mac on the other hand is a different story, when you open up the network setting you can see green lights on the ethernet connection, however when I start Safari or Firefox it doesn't connect to anything... help please anyone....:)

System Preferences>Network>Show Built-in Ethernet>TCP/IP. Do you get an IP address? What is it?

Issue in connecting to the internet wireless with my Linksys

OK. Here's the deal. I am entirely frustrated and also over my head trying to solve this on my own as I have no idea what I'm doing.
I have a Mac Powerbook, OS X (3.9). I have always connected to the internet wirelessly through my Linksys router (Wireless B Access Point, Model Wap 11).
I have recently moved and now use Comcast for my internet. When they installed my internet, I had not yet unpacked my wireless router, so I was set up to be connected via the actual cable plugged in. Now that the router is all set up, I cannot for the life of me get my wireless to work. Currently, I can use the internet wirelessly in other homes/school no problem. In those cases, I don't do anything, I just turn on my computer and it connects automatically. But for some reason in my apartment I cannot make it work.
I *think* the problem lies somewhere in the IP address area? If I look at my Airport settings and go to the TCP/IP tab, there is no information contained on the screen. Meaning, in the area where it says IP Address, Subnet Mask and Router, there is NO data listed, just gray empty space. The same goes for the DNS Servers and Search Domains areas, but at least in that case there is a white box to input text.
I can choose the "Configure IPv4 Using DHCP Manually" and that will let me input numbers, but I have no idea if I should even be playing around with this.
Also, perplexing me even more, is the fact that I can choose my Linksys internet connection through the Airport screen, and when I have selected it, I show full bars. But I can't actually connect.
Silly me, I attempted to call Comcast for help with the issue, but they say that as long as I can connect to the internet in any way (plugged in) then they do not care that I can't connect wirelessly.
I miss checking my email in bed...someone please help!!!
Thanks a million in advance for any and all help.

Are u talking about routers username , password? Well there is one routers username ,password (default is "admin") and the other is your cable ISP username , password (on the routers webpage). I am talking about the latter. If nothing works, try resetting your router ... You will have to configure it again (doesnt take much time if you know it).

Connecting to the Internet While Traveling

I am new to wireless and have been connecting to the internet on my MacBook using a standard ethernet cable at home. But now I'll be traveling and want to have internet access as many places as possible. Can someone please help with instructions on what I need to do/buy, etc.
Thanks!

One thing to carry is an ethernet cable, as hotels often have ethernet ports in the rooms.
There usually isn't any trouble receiving mail, but there may be in sending it if the hotel is not using your ISP's server. Usually a call to your ISP will tell you which port number to use for outgoing mail while traveling. This is set in Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Advanced.
For wireless, usually you just turn on the wireless, and if it doesn't find any of your usual wireless networks, you will be asked if you want to join a network that it can find. You can just click on the network and then on "join", providing a password if required.
You can practice this at your local wireless cafe or local wi-fi hot spot.
One precaution--don't do anything sensitive like banking at a popular free hot spot--save that for a more private setting. You don't want someone looking over your shoulder getting passwords, for example. I'm not totally up on what's safe and what isn't, and maybe someone will post some more explicit information, but I'd stick to innocuous things until you know more about what is safe and what is not.
Good luck, and happy traveling!
