If I have to rent a movie on I tunes do I need wifi to watch or download it

You will need wifi to download it, there is a 50 meg download limit over 3G/4G on iOS devices. When it's completed downloading you should be able to then watch it whilst offline

Hello mckenna34,
Thank you for the question. If you have fully download the movie to your device, you can watch the movie offline as described in this discussion:

HT1657 does internet need to be on to watch rental movies???

Hi,
My Dad is going on a boat trip that doesn't have wi-fi and wants to download some movies from the rental system.
Once he has rented this movie and he goes to watch it on the boat does the internet need to be running??

As long as it has been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch it whilst offline

Start Need For Speed over and watch the movie

I want to watch the live action scenes again but i cant figure out how to. I even tried deleting and reinstalling. any suggestions?

hold power button down along with teh vol + and - keys for 10 seconds, this will do a reset and see if any come back. If not then a call to support would be advised so RIM can get your device logs to see what the actual issue is.

HT1657 After renting a movie do you need WIFI to watch the movie?

After renting a movie do you need WIFI to watch the movie?

No, you do not need Internet to watch it. when you rent it, it downloads the movie or show and then you have a limited amount of time to watch it and then after 48 hours of starting it, it will remove itself.You can watch it without internet once you have downloaded it.

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.

HT1657 Do I need wifi to watch the movies that I rented?

I need to know if I need wifi to watch the movies I rented.

No, ethernet works just as good (actually faster) for downloading the rentals.

HT1657 Do I need an Internet connection to watch a rented movie that has already downloaded?

Do I need an Internet connection to watch a movie I have rented and already downloaded to my iPad. In other words, do I need an Internet connection to start watching the movie after it has fully downloaded?

Not really, as long as you have finished downloading your rented movie successfully.

Do i need a internet connection to watch a rented movie on my ipad?

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 i rented a move from iTunes...i was on a plane and tried to watch it, but got a message that there was a problem in accessing the iTunes store. i had a wifi connection, but had to buy internet access to watch the movie. is this normal?

i rented a movie from itunes. i was on a plane when i tried to access it...but got an error message saying "cannot access itunes store". i had a wifi connection but had to purchase internet to watch the movie on the plane. never had this problem with my ipad and never have it when i download tv shows. what's the deal with movies?

It's not normal, presuming that the movie downloaded completely, but it has come up from time to time. I've not been able to figure out from the various posts why rentals work for most but in some cases insist on a connection to the iTunes store. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
to report the issue to the iTunes Store. Perhaps they can provide an explanation, though you may just get canned and rather inapplicable replies about how to rent or download.
Regards.

I would like to know if my mom can share a tv series that she downloaded on her IPAD with her apple id with my wife. My wife would like to watch the tv series on her ipad that has a different apple id.

HT1657 If I download a movie today, but will not be watching it for a few weeks (i.e. when overseas) - when does the 'activation' period start? Do I have 48 hours from the download date or when I first watch the movie?

You have 30 days from when you download it, but when you then start watching it you have 48 hours (24 if your account is US based) to finish watching it before it expires.
