Do I need Internet to watch a 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.

  • 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.

  • HT1657 Do I needed wifi to watch a rented movie

    Hi, I'm going to Spain in a few weeks and wanted to rent some films to watch while I there, gonna take my ipad and use that to rent on. If I rent the films while in England can I watch them while in Spain? And do I need wifi or are the films downloaded to my ipad

  • Do you need internet to watch a bought movie

    Im going on a road trip andi was wondering that if i bought the movie, do i need internet to watch it?

    No, you do not need internet to watch it.

  • Is an internet connection needed to start watching a rented movie?

    I know that a rented movie can be watched on an iPod without having internet access. What about on a computer? If I want to watch a rented movie on an airplane, do I have to start watching it before the flight when I have an internet connection? Or can I simply start watching on the airplane, where there is no connection to the iTunes store?

    Nope, you should be good to play it without an internet connection as long as your computer is properly authorized before hand, which it usually is. Hope that helps to answer your question. Enjoy the movie!

  • HT1657 Do I need wifi to view the rented movie?

    Do I need wifi to view the rented movie?

    I called the apple store and they said you need WIFI to download it, but after it is finished downloading you do not need wifi.  I downloaded it successfully and it shows up in my "Videos" app on the IPAD.  Once you hit play you have 24 hours to watch it as many times as you want then it is done.  If it is rented. 

  • HT201667 Do I need wifi to watch a rented movie

    Do I need wifi to watch a rented movie

    It depends. If your download the file onto your device, then no, you shouldn't need wifi. But if it's a streaming service, like I think netflix is, then you will need wifi.
    I'd read the fine print and ask questions of your service provider and see what service you're using and how it works

  • HT1657 Can you be offline to watch your rented movie? No 4G or wifi?

    Can you be offline on any of your apple devices to watch your rented movie when you decide to? No 4G or wifi?

  • 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)
