HT1657 Do I need wifi to play rental movies off of iTunes?

I'm flying to Hawaii ,will movies off my iPad work on the plane?

An oft asked question.  The concensus answer is once they are on your iPad you do not need a connection.

    Once you buy a movie on an iPad mini do you need wifi to play the movie.?

    Once it is downloaded to the device, no.
    Rentals will require a connection.

  • 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 Will I need wifi to watch the movie I rent from iTunes?

    If I rent a movie from iTunes will I need wifi to watch it?

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

  • Playing rental movies freezes / crashes iTunes. Someone working on a fix?

    .....or is this just a random error? Don't think so since there are a few more with the same problem.
    I’ve been waiting for a solution to this problem since iTunes rental was started, but obviously there’s not enough “complaining“ about this error! Well here’s one more try! I hope a few more people start complaining so that this gets fixed.
    When I try to play a rented movie I am asked the usual question about the 24 hour policy and as soon as I press OK, just when you think the movie will start playing, the screen turns black, or gray as described by others and our friendly beach ball appears. No sound, no picture, nothing! iTunes simply freezes forever until you force it to quit, or turn off the Mac.
    After that the rented movie appears as it was never played in iTunes, the 24 hour runtime didn’t start counting, but the 30 day clock starts ticking.
    There is of course one thing I observed, my MacBook gets extremely loud which would lead to increased processor activity, which I usually don’t experience except if I run many resourceful applications at once. As soon as I force iTunes to quit this is back to normal.
    *Everything else, bought movies, TV shows, music, etc. works perfectly without any error or problem.*
    Of course I got a refund from the iTunes store, but no indication why this problem occurred and most important how and when it will be solved.
    This happened on a MacBook 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with Mac OS X 10.4.11 with updated software including iTunes 7.6 and Quicktime 7.4. But as far as I can see from other posts this is not limited to certain Hardware, because many different systems including Windows users have the same problem.
    Things I have tried “inspired” by other forums:
    *1. Updated and checked for new updates several times.*
    *2. Completely removed Quicktime, downloaded and installed latest version from Apple.*
    *3. Bought music to check if iTunes account has problems.*
    *4. Different firewall settings, turned firewall off during play! Yes firewall is back on.*
    *5. Monitored activity and firewall during play without any obvious problem.*
    *6. Played movie with and without internet connection, cable and wifi.*
    *7. Played movie with Quicktime, didn’t work error “authorization required”.*

    I too downloaded the update to Quicktime, but it did not solve my problem. After much pulling out of the hair, I found a fix for myself. It may help someone else. This is what I had to do:
    1. Make sure that movies are set to play in a seperate window (found in Edit/Preferences/Playback.
    2. Open iTunes (DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLAY THE MOVIE FROM iTUNES). Instead switch to the mini player mode (found under Advanced).
    3. Open your movie folder where the rental is. The movie folder is usually found in My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Movies. Right click on the rented movie and select "Play". It will open in a regular window, but you should be able to click on the control for full screen at the bottom of the play control. I hope this helps someone else... I have tested it three times and it's worked every time.

  • 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.

  • I cant play any movie on my itunes 10.5.2.11 for windows

    i cant play any movie on my itunes 10.5.2.11 for windows even the .mov files ?? i cant also drag any videos to the liberary .. just music ..whats wrong??

    The supported formats are listed on Apple's iPad webpage -> http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    So, it would have to be in one of those formats. It can be a little confusing because the extension doesn't always tell you the codec that the video inside that file needs. You'll probably have to transcode the video with some other application or recreate it yourself.

  • I just downloaded two rental movies from the iTunes store, proceeded to sync them to my iPad, and now I can't find where they landed. Anybody know where to access rental movies on the iPad? thanks

    And just in case .... You don't actually sync rental movies to the iPad....
    To transfer a rented movie from iTunes, use the movies pane in iTunes. Rented movies transfer is at the top. You must have an Internet connection to transfer a rented movie. Select the "move" arrow in the direction you wish to transfer, and click the apply button at the bottom right. Rented movies can only exist on one device at a time, they do not sync like other video, but move from iTunes to the iPad.

  • HT1657 Do I need wifi to watch a rental movie?

    I want to download movies on my laptop so that my child can watch on a car ride where we won't have wifi. Is this possible? Or must you have wifi to watch a rental movie?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You will only need an Internet connection to download the movie, once it is downloaded you can watch it anywhere.
