HT1657 If I rent a movie and download it to my iPad.
If I rent a movie and download it to my iPad. Can I still watch it if wifi is no longer available?
Normally once a rental has completely downloaded, you no longer need a connection to the iTunes Store to play the movie. Some people have, however, tried to play a rental and been instructed to connect to the iTunes Store. I have not been able to spot any pattern in when it works and when it doesn't, so all I can say is that it should work but may not. I know that's not a good answer, but it's the best I can provide. Perhaps someone else here will have better insight into the issue.
Regards.

HT2729 If i purchase or rent a movie and downloaded it into my iPad, do i need a wifi to watch it?

You definitely do not need WiFi to watch a purchased movie once it has been downloaded to your iPad. I have several movies that I purchased for watching on flights and every one of them worked fine without WiFi.
You should also be able to rent a movie and watch it without WiFi as long as the movie has fully downloaded properly. I have read about users having mixed results with this and that is why I said that you should be able to do it. -
I rented a movie and moved it to my ipad. My ipad was stolen the next day before I ever watched the movie. Is there a way to get the rented movie back to my computer so I can watch it?
I guess it never hurts to ask.

HT1657 Can i rent a movie and then watch it without a wi-fi connection???
i want to know if i can rent a movie from the itunes store and watch it on an airplane???
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. -
Now everytime I try to play it I can't and I can't download it. I've been charged but can't watch my purchase. How do I just return it and rent it somewhere else? Too much of a hassle.
Try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
Can I watch a rented movie without an Internet connection?
As long as the film has been fully downloaded then you shouldn't need to be online in order to then watch it

HT1657 After I rent a movie and it is down loaded how do you play it I don't see a play button
Where is the play button on this "upgraded" Itunes?
As far as I know rentals can only be downloaded once, I think that it's just bought films that can be re-downloaded (which isn't possible in all some countries).

HT1657 I've rented my movies on my laptop. How can I access them via my i pad?
I rented several movies and downloaded them to my computer? Can I access these rentals somehow without renting again on my ipad?
You will need to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and move them over to the iPad (similar to how you sync other content from your computer) - rentals are one-time only downloads, so you can't download a copy of them on your iPad. From the page that you posted from :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time. -
I rented a movie and downloaded it to my Ipad2. I accidentally hit the start. I soon found out that have 23 hours to watch it rather than store it for the month. Is there a way to correct this?

I rented a movie and accidentally hit the menu button and now I can figure out how to go back and watch it . When I try to press rent again it says you have already downloaded this movie go to settings and check for downloads but I can find it download in settings.
I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh. -
