HT1657 Do I need internet to watch a rented iTunes movie?

How does the movie rental work? If I rent a movie can I watch it on my iPad with no internet connection (like on a plane)

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 do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes

    Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    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.

  • 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."

  • When you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

    when you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

    In the interest of full disclosure, I can tell you that I have gotten inconsistent results from this. There have definitely been times when I have a fully downloaded iTunes rental and have gotten a message saying an Internet connection is required for authentication when trying to view it offline. Last week, however, I did the same and had no problem watching one without Internet. Perhaps they changed the policy recently, or else there is a bug somewhere in the system.
    Do note, however, that the following Apple support article states that an Internet connection is needed to authorize playback of movie rentals on the iPad:
