Can I watch a movie rented with no wifi (plane)

It did not work for me last week when I was flying. The video reported that it had expired. I just checked again while on wifi and it will play. It now reports that I have 23 hours to view it.

As long as it has been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch it whilst offline

Hi hurtmark,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you want to know if once a rental is downloaded will you need WiFi to play the movie. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

HT1657 When I rented a movie...?

When I rented a movie on my iPod it never downloaded and now it won't let me so I wasted my money on this. Any suggestions or is it a lost cause and I should just forget apple and never use it again?

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.

HT1657 When I rent a movie is it on my iPad or does it stream from the cloud when I watch it?

When I rent a movie is it on my iPad or does it stream from the cloud when I view it on my iPad.

It is downloaded to the iPad's Videos app, rentals (and purchased films from iTunes) are not streamed.

HT1657 When you rent a movie from iTunes does it need to be on coverflow and not grid?

I can't watch any TV shows/Movies/Music Videos unless there on my Ipod . The picture shows up fragmented and when the video does show up the sound is distored.

If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into its Videos app, and you should be able to watch it without being online - though some people have posted that they need to be online when first starting to watch a rental, so you may want to watch a few seconds whilst you have internet connection (you have 24 hours if you are in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, after starting to watch a rental before it expires).

HT2729 If I rent a movie from iTunes can I watch it on the airplane with my iPad?

How do I down load movies to watch on the airplane?

If you downloaded the movie to iTunes on your computer, you must move it to your iPad before you watch it (assuming you want to see it on your iPad).
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.
This is done through iTunes on your computer, and involves synching with your iPad.

I can't download applications on the appstore with my wifi

I only have this problem last night. Everything was fine until i downloaded Itunes U. I downloaded a bunch of videos and other educational things in there. And after that it was still waiting. So after that i went to appstore and downloaded i books and then suddenly it wont load. So i tried to redownload it and also there is an update for twitter. I waited for 3 hours but no apps have been finished. I thought maybe itunes u was the problem so i deleted it and then went back to downloading. Sadly, i can't download those apps. I tried again next morning. Still after 30 minutes no download progress. It doesnt usually happen since we have a fast internet connection. And its getting on my nerves right now. And also its 32 GB and still has a lot of space available.

You can start watching it whilst it's still downloading - but if you have a slow internet connection then you may want to wait for it to finish downloading first, otherwise you may catch up with it and have to wait for more of it to download

Have you verified that your TV is HDCP compliant? Consult manual and/or post model so someone can check.

HT4743 when I rent a movie on my computer from itunes store why can I not find it on my Apple tv for playback?

When I rent a movie from itunes library on my desktop it is not showing up under rented on my Apple tv? This has not happened before?. Can I rent or buy directly from Apple TV? I hope someone can answer this silly question.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can purchase or rent it direct from the Apple TV or from the computer. If you rent/purchase from the computer, it must fully download to the computer before it will show up under computers > rentals on the TV.

When I rent a movie using Apple TV, it takes several hours to load and then I select watch later. When I go to my rented movies and try to watch it , it starts loading all over again. This can't be normal. Is there something that I am doing wrong?

When I rent a movie using Apple TV,it takes several hours to load. At this point, I opt to watch later. When I try to watch the movie, it starts loading again and tells me that it will be ready to watch in one hour forty four minutes. This can't be normal. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any suggestions.

If it's taking several hours then that is likely due to your internet connection. You can verify at speedtest.net
6mbps required for instant 720P
8mbps for 1080P
You can switch to SD in the settings (which only requires 3mbps)
You can also check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS
The reloading is normal. There is no accessible storage on ATV. The small flash is used for caching streamed content, if you access other things or turn the device off it will be flushed.

HT1390 I rented a movie and it shows up in my iTunes "Rented" section, but when I click to play it, it gives me an error message saying the movie can't be played because the original file can't be found. Please help!

Never mind I fixed it. Just in case anyone else has this problem, after you reinstall iTunes you have to delete all your old music, and if you have iTunes match all the songs you have saved on itunes match will display and you just have to download them to your Macbook.
