HT1657 Watching rented movies on an airplane????

Do you have to be connected to the internet to watch a rented movie? Can I watch it on an airplane?

As long as they have been fully downloaded to the Videos app on your device then you should be able to watch them without needing to be online.

    You can do it that way if you wish, though here's a separate process for moving a rental; it's not just done by synching. See:

    Or you can rent it directly from your iPad. Note that if you rent from your iPad, you cannot then move the movie to any other device, though that may not be an issue for you.

  • HT1657 watching rented movies in canada

    I am in Canada and have rented a movie, which downloaded. It plays (I can see the controls and time passing on the video)  but all I see is a black screne. What's up with this?

  • HT1657 Can you watch rented movies in airplane mode?

    can you watch rented movies from itunes on your iphone in airplane mode?

    Actually, I just called AppleCare and they told me that an Internet connection was required. I tried it anyways. Once the rented movie is fully downloaded onto your iPad, it will appear in the Videos app, in the Rentals section. From there, even if you turn the airplane mode on, you should be able to press the play button and watch the movie. Note that I rented the movie in HD format and that I use the iPad 3rd generation.
    Hope this helps,
    Cheers,

  • HT1657 I want to watch a movie on an airplane

    I want to watch a movie on an airplane but I don't know if it will have Wi-Fi. Can I watch a rented movie without Wi-Fi?

    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 can i watch rented movies on my ipad with no wifi? Like on a plane trip?

    can i watch rented movies on my ipad with no wifi? Like on a plane trip?

    Yes. although you do occasionally hear about people having problems.  If your trip is less than 24 hours, it might be a good idea to start the movie while you're connected to WiFi (which will start the rental clock ticking) and pause it.  You're not supposed to have to do this, but some people swear it prevents the occasional glitch.  I've only rented a couple of movies and they worked find on the plane.

  • When watching rented movie the picture keeps freezing, in about 30 seconds it plays again

    when watching rented movie the picture keeps freezing, in about 30 seconds it plays again

    I just started have this same/simmilar issue to.  Was there a solution to the original question?  I have 2 ATVs.  One works without issue, the other... kicks me out repeatedly... to the point where the content will load for about 3 sec before kicking me all the way out.  Tried all the trouble shooting options including: checking latest software update, reset, hard restart, and checking router download speed (over 50 Mbps on speedtest.net).  Should mention this occurs most frequently when downloading Netflix content, but the same issue occurs downloading other content like PBS.

  • WATCHING RENTED MOVIES ON HOLIDAY.

    I want  to rent a movie in iTunes and watch it on a cruise ship in the area of Norway and the Arctic Circle.. I know iTunes can advise me, but has anyone any  adverse experience of watching rented movies in areas other than where the movie was downloaded, which, in this case was the UK
    The movie would be viewed on a imac2.
    Thanks in anticipation..

  • We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?

    We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?  They used to start playing after a few minutes of starting the download but not now.  What's up?

    Pat, I've been experiencing this issue intermittently for weeks.  It seems to occur with HD content --including HD trailers --exclusively.  Tonight has been no exception.
    I have done considerable troubleshooting to try and isolate the cause.  My results suggest that Apple's servers are to blame but I've not seen many others reporting this issue in these forums lately.
    I live only 170 miles from Apple's North Carolina server farm.  I assume my iTunes rentals are being fed from there.  My broadband connection is a fast one (30Mb down) and consistently tests near that speed when this issue occurs.
    I have both a first and second generation AppleTV.  When this issue occurs, I will change devices and rent the same movie to see if th device itself is to blame.  The issue affects both.  I have tried using an ethernet connection instead of my Airport Extreme's 5Ghz wireless connection but that does not remedy the issue.
    So... my broadband connection is more than capable, my router is performing optimally (I recently had my local Apple Store test it as well), and neither of my AppleTV's is immune to the issue, so...  it must be on the delivery end.
    Unfortunately, Apple does not post the status of their iTunes Store's servers like they did with their MobileMe servers.  They should.  In fact, the AppleTV should display a status message when Apple's iTunes servers are experiencing technical difficulties or heavy network traffic.
    I was an early adopter of AppleTV.  It has not been problematic until now.  This is trying my patience.  My advice is that you request a refund everytime this happens.  I do.
    I am taking this matter to the VP of iTunes services.  If Apple's servers are choking, or if their streams are being throttled by ISP's, or internet TV is too ambitious for this country's internet infrastructure, I deserve to know.

  • ITunes won't let me watch rented movies!

    I have Mac OS X 10.5.8, iTunes 10.6.3, Quicktime 7.5.5. iTunes message says I can't watch rented movies and recommended another QT version that I can't remember. What should I do? Note: in Systems Profiler, I have QT 7.5.5 in Apps and in Frameworks.

    Apparently a lot of people have reading comprehension issues.  I have the same problem as op except I use first generation appleTV.  So for you slow people let me spell it out.
    If you are trying to purchase movies on iTunes (this is the important part so pay attention) running on a computer that does not support HD you are NOT able to purchase HD movies.  The message that pops up says you cannot purchase HD movies on a computer that does not support HD. 
    The question the OP was asking and I have this question also is why does it matter if the computer I am buying the movie on supports HD when the intent is not to play the movie on the computer in the first place.  AppleTV does support HD and streams from itunes on the computer.
