HT204370 If I download a movie do I need wifi to watch it?

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

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you download a movie, it's in your iPad storage, so you don't have to connect it to Internet

    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

    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.

  • 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 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.

    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.

    Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
    Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
    Reset your device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
    After the device has restarted, sign back in to the App Store as above.

  • I recently downloaded a tv show and my iPod said that i need wifi to watch it. How do i download a video from iTunes so I dont need wifi?

    I recently downloaded a tv show from itunes and my ipd said that i need wifi to watch it. How do i download it so i can watch it with out wifi?

    I think the issue may be that these TV shows are in HD. Would that keep them from playing?
    Yes.  Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the TV Episode.  You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is not compatible with the Nano.  See here for more information:
    iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
    To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available.  You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.

  • HT201667 Do I need wifi to watch a rented movie

    Do I need wifi to watch a rented movie

    It depends. If your download the file onto your device, then no, you shouldn't need wifi. But if it's a streaming service, like I think netflix is, then you will need wifi.
    I'd read the fine print and ask questions of your service provider and see what service you're using and how it works
