HT1657 Rented movies available without Internet?

When watching a rented movie from the iTunes Store, do I have to have an Internet connection in order to watch the movie? For example in airplane mode or when offline would I be able to view the rented movie?

Rented movies come without sound

Rented movies come without sound
I rented my first movie via Apple TV some weeks ago without problems.
Now I rented few days ago a very old movie, original from '61 and yesterday
another one, which just came out. Both movies I can only "see", not hear,
there's no sound. What is wrong here??!!! It's quite frustrating, paying money for
a movie that comes without sound.
I'd be much happy if anybody would give me an idea what to do.

Unplug AppleTV and try again.
If no luck factory restore it by connecting to computer using a microUSB cable alone and running iTunes.
You may need to contact iTunes Store support to try to request a refund.

HT1657 Renting movies from iTunes without in-home Internet

I don't have Internet at home. Can I download the movie on my laptop and watch it at home later or is the movie streaming?

Rented movies are downloaded and once completely downloaded should play without an Internet connection. But in some cases, the common factor of which I have yet to determine from the various reports, iTunes insists on connecting to the iTunes Store when you go to play the rental. So while it's probable that you will have no difficulties, you may not be able to play the rental when you get home.
Regards.

HT1657 Rented movie. Movie started. Movie stopped. Cant download rest of the movie. Yes, I have working internet

Rented Movie. Movie Started. Movie stopped. Can't download rest...

Same problem here. I am from Brazil. Started to watch Gravity, then stopped last 18 minutes to finish. Sign out my iTunes account, sign in back and...they ask me for a new rental to watch! What? But in the bottom side they say my rental is valid within 48 hours.

Movies rented on an iPad can't be transferred to any other device or computer; iTunes on the PC can only play rented movies which it downloaded.

HT1657 Rented movies won't play on IOS 7.0.4!

I have been trying to rent movies on my newly updated iPads 4 Gen and it won't download fully and won't play back. I have tried everything from doing a force start up to restarting my router and nothing helps. I have to check my memory and I have about 7 G and still I cannot download and play back. The sole reason why I bought this iPad was for HD movies. I don't have a computer to open iTunes up and transfer from there. Before these updates I was able to rent and buy movies without a problem!

If it has the cloud symbol then that indicates that it's in the cloud and not on your phone, but is available for redownloading - if you go into Settings > iTunes & App Store and turn Videos 'off' (under the 'Show All' heading) it should stop it showing in the Videos app. What you can redownload will still show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.

HT1657 Rented movie does not download on Apple tv

Dear apple. You've done it again. You ruined our movie night. Rented movie, got all ready to start watching. Now the movie does not download. Wrong on your Sid as Internet works (100Mbps) and other content/trailers download swiftly.
I am extremely ****** of that this happened again. I have lost the past hour trying various things and now finding a way to get my money back.
Please up your game.

Thanks King_Penguin,
The fact that I logged into an apple.com site fooled me to believe that this was a 'report a problem' site.
I since found the 'report a problem' link.
Wasn't easy to find (could not find it on my apple TV or iPad) had to:
log into iTunes via laptop, and then
click on iTunes Store (right top);
click on account (quick link or at bottom);
select "see all' next to purchase history;
click on small arrow next to 'problem' purchase (movie rental for me);
click on 'report a problem' (at bottom);
click on 'report a problem again (now inside the purchase details) - redirect to browse
fill in details, and
submit.
As you can see quite a long process.
The long process and my missed movie night were the frustrating parts.
The reponse from Apple Customer Support was swift and extremely good - makes up for the frustration.

HT1657 Rented movie refund

I attempted to rent a movie on iTunes, but the Apple server kept crashing returning 'unknown error (50)' and therefore stopped me from downloading the rented movie. I have tried 11 times and have given up as I keep returning the same error. All other internet connectivity is working fine, and have found the movie on a rival website to stream. I now wish to seek a refund, how do I do this?

My rented movie froze 1/3 of the way in and will now longer play beyond that point, how do I fix it?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
