Can I watch an Itunes rental movie on an Ipad if I am not hooked up to wi fi
at the time I watch it. (but previously downloaded it to the ipad.)?

You should be able to watch a rental while you are not connected to WiFi. However, the movie has to be fully downloaded to the iPad and must be stored on the iPad in order to watch it.

HT1657 Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac?

Why can't I transfer rented movies from my iPad to my Mac? This is absolutely senseless and annoying! I rented the movie and should be able to watch it wherever I decide to!! A bit more concern for your clients, please...

Where did the movies come from?
For what you said you should be easily be able to do what you want except for:
"remove them from the ipad but still have access to them for viewing on the road or at hotel"
Home sharing only works wehn the devices are connected to the same network
Understanding Home Sharing
If they are iTunes purchases, you should be able to redownload most iTunes purchases on the road if you have an internet connection by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

HT1657 How can I delete a rented movie from my ipad before its expiration date?

How can I delete a watched rented movie from my Ipad before its expiration date?

Hello, K M Cartwright.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You definitely can delete the movie prior to the expiration date. However, the movie will automatically disappear from your iTunes library 24 (or 48) hours after you've begun viewing it. Here are the steps on how to delete iTunes media.
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store

HT204370 can I take a rented movie on my ipad overseas?

So my plan is to rent a movie on my ipad, lets say friday night, have it download, and then saturday morning bring my ipad on the plane with me to watch the rented movie during the flight.
So before I do this I just want to make sure it is possible and there is no restriction I don't know about.

You can watch it on your trip.

I am having a problem deleting rented movies. One shows up as a grey box. Apparently it never downloaded. Plus two more that I have watched are still there. Any suggestions.???

This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3.

Why can't I delete rented movies on my ipad after watching?

I've watched the movie I'm done with it and it's still there taking up space. I want it off my ipad!

I was able to remove the expired movie by repeatedly pressing on the play button and the icloud symbol to download or play the expired movie. Itunes asked a few times for my username/password and after a few attempts at persistent pressing of the try to play or download the expired movie and being challenged a few times for my iTunes credentials, the movie cleared from my iCloud movies and the Rentals option disappeared from my iPad. Hopefully some of this persistent approach forces the cache on your device to sync up with iTunes and clears the expired movie for you. Good luck!

How can I transfer a rented movie from one Ipad to another Ipad?

I rented a movie on Itunes from a PC, and transferred it to an Ipad. I now would like to transfer it to another Ipad. Does anyone know how to do this? B

Hi Technician7,
It is true that you can "return" app licenses to Apple Configurator and redistribute that license to another iPad. The key is that both iPads must be "Supervised" in order to return the app license. See this from Apple:
Removing apps from devices
If you use Apple Configurator to remove a redeemed VPP app from a supervised device, Apple Configurator marks the corresponding redemption code as available. It can be reassigned to a different device supervised by this copy of Apple Configurator for this Mac only. It is not available for redemption by other Macs or iOS devices.
If you unsupervise a supervised device, all apps will be removed from the device and the redemption codes used to install those apps will be marked available for reassignment. If you simply remove a device record from Apple Configurator, the redemption codes for any apps on that device will not be available for reassignment.
I hope this answers your question!

HT4095 Can I watch rented movies in my ipad 2 without internet connection. I will be travelling by air and highway. Ty

Can I watch rented movies in my ipad 2 without internet connection?

If you use iTunes to rent movies, then yes.
iTunes movies downloaded and stored directly to your iPad and if you don't start playing a movie, stay on your iPad for 30 days.
If you start to play a downloaded, rented movie on your iPad, then it will expire in 24 hours.
Other services, like Amazon, Netflix and Hulu need an Internet connection to stream their content.

I have a rented movie on my iPad... Can I transfer it back to my Library so I can put it on a different device? I have not watched it yet and want it on my other iPad.

Not if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
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.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Why it's like that I don't know

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.

Can I watch rented movies on my ipad on an airplane?

About to take a very long flight and want to watch some rented movies on my ipad - I just read somewhere online that I can't do this without a wifi connection on the airplane - is this true? How can I do this? Thank you.

Thanks for your responses - maybe I didn't put the question exactly right. I know that I need to be connected to download, but I've heard that you need an internet connection to watch the downloaded films so that Apple can start the clock on the rental. I've read a lot of stuff online that suggests that to watch rentals on an airplane you've got to start the film on the ground where you've got a connection and start the clock. This seems like a crazy work around for what must be a pretty popular activity for an ipad.
I've looked at the Apple FAQ and haven't found any clear answers to this question. Can anyone clarify this one? Thanks again.

HT1657 can I play a rented movie on an Apple TV 2nd gen while downloading?

Can I play a rented movie from itunes on an Apple TV 2 while the movie is still downloading? I can watch it on the Mac that it is downloading on but the air play symbol does not appear to be apple to select the ATV. Does the movie have to completely download first?

'Make sure your iTunes is up to date 10.5 at the top where the tabs are turn on "Home Sharing" by enabling it on your MACBookPro under the advanced tab using your Apple ID and PW then turn on your AppleTV and on the far right side click on "Computers" repeat turning on "Home Sharing" on there then start your movie and click on the AirPlay Icon then select send to AppleTV! There are a few other more ways to do the same thing but thats the easiest let me Know if you need more info .

HT1657 Can I stream a rented movie from computer to tv?

Can I stream a rented movie from computer to tv?

If you have an Apple TV, you can move the rented movie there to watch it. There is no way I know of to do a true stream of a movie rented from the iTunes Store, nor can a movie from there be played on anything other than an Apple device or in Apple's software.
Regards.
