HT1657 Once you download the movie do you need wifi to watch it?

Once you download a movie from iTunes do you have to have a wifi connection to watch it?

As long as the film has been fully downloaded to the iPad's Videos app then you should be able to watch it whilst offline

    If I download a movie to my iPad, do I need wifi to watch it (ex. In the car)?

    once you download a movie, do you need to be online 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.

  • 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.

  • HT204370 When you download the movie rental where to you access it to watch it? I cannot find it.

    When you down load a movie and are renting it how do you access it?

    On an iPad it should have downloaded into the Videos app :

  • HT1390 How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

    How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

    As long as it's been fully downloaded then you shouldn't need to be online in order to watch it.
    As to how long you have to watch it, from here :
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.

  • 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.

  • Do you have to be signed in to the same apple ID that you downloaded a movie to watch it?

    We use my husbands apple ID to buy things or rent but I use my ID for apps and to keep us from getting the same messages. If I downloaded a rented movie from his apple ID do I have to be on his apple ID to view it? I ask because I tried to watch my movie on my 9.5 hour flight but it said, "cannot open." Please help soon!

    There could be an issue if you had not fully downloaded the movie. There are some odd things that happen with airplane mode, many people can't get movies to work in this mode. Part of the porblem is the elevation of the device, and the time changes, not to mention entire time-zones and location changes due to modern jet travel can cause issues like this to happen.
    Of course, when testing on the ground the airplane mode seems to never glitch up
    It's a new technology with issues that still need to be worked out (which seems Engineering didn't think ahead of time)

  • I have an IPad and want to download a movie.  I keep getting the message "There is not enough available storage to download your movie.  You can manage your storage in Settings".  I look in the settings and it says I have 5GB available?

    I have been trying to download a movie to my IPad.  I have never had trouble before but the last two times I get an error message that says "Cannot Download" There is not enough storage to download your movie.  You can manage your storage in Settings.
    When I go to my settings it says I have 5GB remaining storage and 5GB storage used.  I have deleted a lot of my music and games but am still having trouble.  Has anyone experienced this before?

    5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie.  Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with.  The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad.  You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.

  • Once you purchase the sortware, can you download it on two computers?

    Once you purchase the sortware, can you download and use it on two computers?

    You can have it "Active"/usuable on 2 computers at a time, but can download to multiple computers.
    Example Scenario in my actual life, you have a Windows Laptop and an iMac that you have Photoshop CC on (which was more difficult prior to Creative Cloud by the way), but you know you are going to visit your girlfriend out of state for a week.
    You can deactivate Photoshop on your iMac while you're away without out uninstalling it.
    Once you'e at her place you can download and activate Photoshop CC and you can even import you custom settings, Work Area and shortcuts all from the cloud.  Now you can work seemlessly
    Another example, you're office won't pop for the latest version of Photoshop and still has you running CS5.5
    You have your own copy of Photoshop CC but don't want to just "give" them your license or key since their too cheap to get one for you for your work, but you still need those features to be at your best.
    You can deactivate your license on your desktop or laptop in the morning when you are heading to the office, activate on your work computer, and deactivate before you clock out and go home.
    As J pointed out, you can have it active on 2 machines at once, but installed on any machine you plan to work on at some point. Take advantage of it!

  • HT1860 how do you download a movie on the computer that is already in your apple tv

    how do you download a movie on the computer  (itunes) that is already on your apple tv

    Silver AppleTV1 should be configured for syncing to iTunes, then right click on the AppleTV device in the sidebar and choose Transfer Purchases.
    If it's a black AppleTV go to iTunes Store Movies section, and choose Purchased from the Quicklinks on the right - here you can download to iTunes from the internet (the AppleTV does not store the movie).

  • Can you download a movie and watch without being online?

    Just bought my IPad 2. Want to be able to watch a movie on a plane but if don't have wifi, is there a way to do this without being on line?

    You need to download the movie to the iTunes account the iPad was synced with, or you will lose data and content, unless you authorize the other computer with the same iTunes account.  You can run multiple iTunes accounts on one computer.  And you can authorize up to 5 different computers with the same iTunes account.
