If i purchase or rent a movie and downloaded it into my iPad, do i need a wifi to watch it?
You definitely do not need WiFi to watch a purchased movie once it has been downloaded to your iPad. I have several movies that I purchased for watching on flights and every one of them worked fine without WiFi.
You should also be able to rent a movie and watch it without WiFi as long as the movie has fully downloaded properly. I have read about users having mixed results with this and that is why I said that you should be able to do it.

HT1657 If I rent a movie and download it to my iPad.
If I rent a movie and download it to my iPad. Can I still watch it if wifi is no longer available?
Normally once a rental has completely downloaded, you no longer need a connection to the iTunes Store to play the movie. Some people have, however, tried to play a rental and been instructed to connect to the iTunes Store. I have not been able to spot any pattern in when it works and when it doesn't, so all I can say is that it should work but may not. I know that's not a good answer, but it's the best I can provide. Perhaps someone else here will have better insight into the issue.

I rented a movie and moved it to my ipad. My ipad was stolen the next day before I ever watched the movie. Is there a way to get the rented movie back to my computer so I can watch it?
I guess it never hurts to ask.

I rented a movie and downloaded it to my Ipad2. I accidentally hit the start. I soon found out that have 23 hours to watch it rather than store it for the month. Is there a way to correct this?

I would like to be able to watch a movie while I'm camping and stuck in the camper due to inclement weather. More than likely, I will not have access to the internet. Is it possible to watch a movie that has been rented or purchased and downloaded to my ipad?
I have seen conflicting answers about this issue recently.
If you purchase a movie and it is fully downloaded to your iPad - yes you can watch it without an Internet connection.
With a rental there seems to be two schools of thought. The first is just like the answer to a purchased movie - once fully download no Internet connection is needed. The other reply is that you need an internet connection in order to authorize playback and those who state this say that you can't play a rental without the Internet connection.
I have never rented a movie but the second school of thought makes no sense to me. If the movie is downloaded and the authorization has already taken place, I see no reason to need the Internet connection. I have read stories of iPad users talking about watching rented movies on airplane flights so that would be without an Internet connection. -
Rented movie fr iTunes but cannot find on my iPad Air. It isn't in the videos file and I do not have Restrictions on. Where can I find my movie?
Doublechecking ... is it in your Videos app on the iPad?

Can I watch a rented movie without an Internet connection?
As long as the film has been fully downloaded then you shouldn't need to be online in order to then watch it

I just wanted to know if I rent a movie and I later I decide that I want to buy it, Am I going to need to download it once for the rental and a second time for the purchase?
You will need to redownload it - rentals expire and are deleted, either 30 days after renting it, or 48 hours (24 hours if you are in the US) after starting to watch it, whichever is the soonest.

I rented a movie and can watch preview perfectly with video and audio feed as signal strength is at highest when I checked. However, when I purchased rental video is fine , but I get scratched sound for audio. Any thoughts to fix? I rented movie within week and it worked. All previews of movies and show also works.
I have a suspicion that the problem is not in the recording device itelf, but rather in the playback-software, which is struggling with an unfamiliar audio format/codec/whatever-it's-called... I opened the file in QuickTime Player 7 (7.6.6) and selected "Show Movie Properties" and it says:
"Video Track: H.264
Sound Track: Integer (Little Endian)"
All current Mac systems support Integer (both Big and Little Endian) audio natively. The fact you can hear anything at all proves that the audio is playing back. The most likely problem would be a malfunction associated with the mic pickup. -

I rented a movie and transferred to my ipad but now i want to watch on my apple tv. Can I transfer it back or how can I watch it through my tv?
Hello leannerich,
The easiest option for you may be to use AirPlay to stream the movie from your iPad to the AppleTV. The article below will walk you through the process of setting that up.

trying to rent a movie and error message pops up saying "item cannot be downloaded on this network. You must connect to wi-fi or download it on your computer". I just finished downloading a rental but I get this message when attempting another. Any help much appreciated
You might want to try it again. It started working for me about 10 minutes ago (~8pm CST).
This was happening for rentals and purchases.
