HT4095 Can I download movies from iTunes to my iPad and watch them on line as well in case I don't have my iPad with me.

I have a 16gig iPad mini with latest iOS software.
Please can anyone advise on the following.
If I buy a movie on iTunes, can I download it onto my iPad and keep it there?
If I then delete it, can I download it again free?
If I do not have my iPad with me, can I watch it online through iTunes?

The film will need to be downloaded in order to watch it, you can't stream it from the store. Whether you can re-download a film will depend upon what country that you are in and whether it remains in the store (studios occasionally remove them). You are better off keeping your own backup copy of all of your downloads rather that relying on being able to re-download from the store in the future (you can copy purchases from your iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases)
What can be re-downloaded where : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085
You can also get wifi-enabled drives which allow you to stream your content to your iPad, so not everything needs to be stored on it e.g. GoFlex Satellite (there are other makes as well).

  • I'm based in the UK. Can I purchase movies from iTunes on my Mac then watch them on Apple TV?

    As I'm based in the UK I can't purchase movies on the Apple TV 3. If, however, I purchased a movie on my Mac or iOS device, would I then be able to watch it through the Apple TV?

    If you buy movies on iOS devices make sure you transfer them to iTunes to allow you to backup - until we in UK get movies in the cloud this is pretty important.
    To be honest I only purchase movies in itunes (or on the original AppleTV which allows it as well as music browsing/purchase and itunes LP/Extras playback!) as I'm useless about syncing iOS devices.

  • I can't download movies from iTunes on my iPad!!!!

    I go to films in iTunes and click on buy and nothing happens, when I re click on the buy button it tells me that I have already purchased the film but it has not downloaded and to manage it in the downloads file but there is nothing there. Please can someone help.

    I have only downloaded one feature length film on my iPad and I did it at home using my home WiFi network. It went flawlessly and took about 90 minutes to download a 1.64 GB movie.
    Maybe it was an authorization issue with your iPad. iTunes can get hinky about that kind of thing - especially with app downloads. Maybe connecting the iPad to your computer reset your iTunes authorization and let the movie start downloading again. I know that sounds bizarre but it can occur with third party apps that will not open. One of the common fixes is to download another app in order to reset your iTunes account authorization.
    You should be able to see the download progress bar as the movie is downloading. My response was worded the way that it was because I didn't know if you started the download and left the iPad sitting somewhere for a few hours and when you came back - all you saw was the terms and downloads screen.

    In the store (iTunes App) go to the purchased section at the bottom (photo from iPhone but it's the same on the iPad)

  • Can't watch downloaded movies from Itunes on my Ipad if no WiFi.

    I downloaded movies directly from Itunes on my Ipad while I was at home using my WiFi.
    How can I watch them when I don't ave any WiFi available (on an airplaine, hospital).
    Tried to watch them and the Itunes on my Ipad  says it needs WiFI.

    Once the movies have been synced or downloaded to your ipad, you then watch them with the videos app not itunes, I believe this is why you are seeing the message stating need wifi.
    If you cannot locate videos app, do a search on the pad by swiping down slightly on the home screen to get the search bar and search Videos.

  • TS1398 Can't download movie from Itunes to Ipad.

    I have a new IPad and am trying to download my first movie from Itunes.  It takes all my account info and then won't download.  I thibnk my wifi connection is OK--I get mail and have downloaded a few games.

    Where are you physically located?  Although I haven't heard of specific instances, if you read the store terms of use they do reserve the right to use technologies to monitor your physical presence in the store's country when making purchases.  Even if you have a functioning US account, you are also supposed to be actually in the USA when doing the downloads.

  • Can't download movie from iTunes Store!! Help!

    I wanna buy a movie in iTunes Store. But when i clicked it, it said "must connect to Wi-Fi or have to download it on your computer" But the Wi-Fi connect is excellent.  I shut the iTunes and reopen it, still doesn't work.  Why? Need help!!!

    This issue has been popping up with a lot of people for the last hour, I think the store must be down because it is not just you, I have not yet heard a response from Apple although I submitted the issue to support recently

  • Problems with downloading movies from iTunes on my iPad

    When I buy a movie in iTunes it just says "waiting" and it never starts downloading - what can I do?
    I'm from Denmark where movies have just been released simultaneously with the release of iOS5, maybe a start-up mistake or what do you think?
    I've tried it twice now, with both "Senna" and "Inside Job"..
    Thanks!
    A confused Dane..

    With files as large as movies can be - make sure that you have ample storage capacity available on your iPad in order for the movies to download.
    You can try restarting the iPad and see if the downloads will resume as well, or launch iTunes on you computer and go to Store>Check for Available Downloads, and download the movie to iTunes and then sync the movies to the iPad.
    Make sure that you are signed into the correct account on your iPad - Settings>Store>Apple ID.

  • I had downloaded a movie from itunes to my ipad prior to getting Apple TV. Connected Apple TV and set up home sharing. Can I now watch movie that I previously rented on Itunes on Apple TV?

    I had rented and downloaded movie from Itunes previous to purchasing and installing Apple TV. I set up home sharing with all computers and Ipad.
    Can I now watch movie on Apple TV which I had previously downloaded? I tried to access on Apple TV but videos show as empty.

    You cannot access the movie from the Apple TV screen. You would need to use airplay on the iPad to stream the video to the Apple TV.
