HT1657 Will I need wifi to watch the movie I rent from iTunes?

If I rent a movie from iTunes will I need wifi to watch it?

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

  • HT1657 Do I need wifi to watch the movies that I rented?

    I need to know if I need wifi to watch the movies I rented.

    No, ethernet works just as good (actually faster) for downloading the rentals.

  • 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.

  • HT200109 Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?

    Why do all my other Apple devices not care if the movie I rented from iTunes if it was downloaded directly to that device or not, but the stupid Apple TV won't allow you to play rented movies unless you rented it directly from the Apple TV?
    Great, so now I have to airplay it by linking my computer to my Apple TV and then the movie has to buffer! So, all that time I spent downloading the HD video has to technically "download" again by buffering. The more I use Apple TV, the more I feel like this item was not created by Apple. I don't even use it for what I originally purchased it for. If I would have known that anytime I wanted to sync a movie from my computer to Apple TV by using airplay that it would have to buffer the movie, I would have never ever ever ever ever purchased this waste of time device. So the video has to technically play all the way through one time first so Apple TV can "remember" the movie to play it back in real time afterwards.
    Am I missing something here? Am I doing something wrong that can be fixing my problem? I should have known that the Apple TV had so many things backwards when simple things like when you are using the remote and you reach the bottom of your list, in order to cycle back to the top of your list you have then press the directional buton back the other way rather than most modern day devices that will automatically cycle you back to the top or to the other side when you reached the bottom or end but keep on pressing the button. That **** annoys me when I am doing a search for a movie and have to type the name in manually and have to cycle back and forth to the letters. It makes me feel like I am using a rotary phone or something!

    I was told by someone to try and purchase something directly from my Apple TV and that will help authorize my Apple TV.  So I picked something that was free and it downloaded.
    Then I went back to the Movie that would not work and it played just fine. 
    So it seemed to work.  I will have to try it on other movies and TV shows later.

  • Why did the movie I rented from iTunes freeze and will not download?

    I just rented a movie from the iTunes store and downloaded it.  The download completed and I began watching the movie.  Over an hour and a half into the movie it froze and now says an unknown error occured while downloading (even though no error message displayed before starting the movie) .  Why is this?  How do I get a refund or have the movie download properly?  My connection is great just fyi.

    As I mentioned in the first post.  It shoudl be in the videos app.
    Itunes is only the itunes music and video store.  Nothing is stored there.
    You need to open the videos app.
    Have a look at the manual:

  • HT1657 Do you need internet while watching the movie?

    Do you need internet while watching it after download?

    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.

  • Can you watch a movie you rented from iTunes on your apple TV?

    I rented a movie from Itunes on my Mac. Can I watch it on my Apple TV somehow.  I am at home now and don't want to sit and look at my computer screen.
    Is there a way to stream it to the apple tv?

    Assuming home sharing is enabled, the rental will appear on your Apple TV once it has fully downloaded on your Mac.

    Do you have access to other music and film purchase download sites ?
