HT1657 Once I download a rented movie do I need Internet connection to watch

Once I download a rented movie on iTunes doi need Internet connection to watch it.

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.

    Once I download a rented movie, do I need WiFi access in order to watch it?

    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.

  • Cannot access rented movies via Clear USB Internet connection, but can via wifi and Time Warner Cable.  Has anyone encountered the same thing?

    I recently rented a movie from iTunes (version 10.4.1.10 on a Windows 7 professional laptop) and when I am at home, on my Clear USB connection, I don't see the Rented Movies in my Library.  When I bring my laptop to work however, and connect to a Time Warner Internet connection via wifi, I am able to see my Rented Movies in my Library.  Has anyone experienced anything similar?

    The problem is similar to

  • HT1657 Do you need Internet connection to watch a downloaded rented film?

    Can I watch a downloaded rented film without Internet connection

    TV programmes you shouldn't have any problems with, they just need to be fully downloaded onto your device/computer.
    With rentals, some people have posted that they've need to be online when first starting to watch them.

    Nobody has come up with a definitive answer.  It seems you have to start watching a rented movie with an Internet connection so it can start the 24 hour timer, but after that you can continue to watch it.

    Hello FeedUpUser,
    Thank you for the question.  When you purchase a rental, you can view it on one device at a time:
    Can I play my rental on more than one device?
    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.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

    If you are using a first generation Apple TV, you can transfer your movie to the Apple TV using the steps in the section titled "Transfer a rental from your iTunes library to iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV" in the following articles:

    If you have a second or third generation Apple TV, you can use AirPlay to play the rental through your Apple TV.  You can find the steps in the following article:

  • 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.
