HT4095 Watching rented movie from iTunes on my iPad in the middle of nowhere...

If I'm driving in the middle of nowhere will a rented movie from iTunes play fine on my iPad? Or not if the internet connection is potentially intermittent or sporadic?

As long as the movie has completely downloaded, you will not need an Internet connection at all.
Regards.

    As long as the films have been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch them without an internet connection.

    Hello Lcw2610,
    I would recommend deleting the affected movie from your iPad, and redownloading the movie.

  • 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.

  • Can't watch rented movies from itunes on appleTV

    I just made the switch from windows to mac world, bought macbook and appleTV - downloaded (rented) a movie off of iTunes but I can't seem to watch it on AppleTV. I can buy a movie off of iTunes and synch it with ATV but not the rented ones. Is this correct?

    For now, this is correct. There will be an update to the Apple TV within the next week which will allow it to play rented content as well as rent it natively.

  • Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    I read that I may need to start the movie prior to departure so that it can connect via wifi (or whatever internet connection I use) and start the 24-hr "timer" for rented movies.  So,.. no truth to that?  More specifically, I can start a rented movie on iTunes, while on a plane, without an internet connection?

  • Can I watch a rented movie from Itunes (iMac) on my Apple TV 3 without airplay and home sharing?

    I recently download a rented movie from itunes store in my iMac. My question is, if I can watch my rented movie in my apple tv without Airplay or Home sharing? The reason is because I don't want to turn on my iMac every time that I want to watch a movie.
    Thanks!

    If you rented the movie from Apple TV, then you can't watch it on the iPad.  The screenshot below is from Here

  • Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

    The EXACT same thing happened to me last night!  Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze.  When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen.  None of the other videos I own will display either.  Was your problem ever resolved?

  • HT1657 do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes

    Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    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.

  • HT1390 Does it use data to watch a rented movie from iTunes on IPad? Is it streaming or just downloaded?

    Does it use data to watch a rented movie from iTunes on IPad? Is it streaming or just downloaded?

    You must get the movie onto your iPad somehow. If you download it while on Wi-Fi you will not use cellular data. Once the movie has been downloaded you will not use cellular data or Wi-Fi.

  • Apple TV optical audio output problem only while watching a rented movies from iTunes.

    I have our Sharp TV setup via the HDMI outputs from the Appletv and external powered speakers via the optical outputs from the appletv unit. The external speakers work fine with everything else on the appletv but not while watching rental movies from Itunes. The speakers give off a rhythmic ticking sound, no movie sounds, yet the tv does have the sound. Again, I can use the speakers for everything else from appletv. Rent a movie from ITunes and the speakers just tick. Any ideas?

    Well, I have seemed to have narrowed it down. It would seem that the problem does not lie on the appletv unit. The sound works fine if "Dolby" is turned off in the appletv settings. The speakers are 5.1, should work. Thinking that the problem is the RadioShack brand converter. Converts the optical outs from the appletv to RCA.... then to the speakers. Something must be lost in "translation". Perhaps it is the quality of the cables. Don't know. Gut says the quality of the converter. Any suggestions for a perhaps better quality converter? Or should I just say screw it and just listen without the Dolby?

  • I rented and downloaded two movies from iTunes via my iPad. They show up as purchased in items but won't play. They do not show up in iPad visor app at all. Any ideas on what happened and how to fix are welcome. Thanks

    I rented two movies from iTunes using my iPad. They show us as purchased but will not run from there. I get a message saying I have 24hours to watch then it just goes back to iTunes. I looked in video app where they usually go and nothing is there. Any ideas for a fix are welcome?
    Thanks

    You did try tapping on one of them in that list in the iPod app! This has happened to me and I was able to start the movie from there. You could try restarting the iPad, go into the iPod app and try again.
    Now I'm stumped unless it is a corrupt download. You did download right onto the iPad - correct? If you downloaded in iTunes, there is a Move tab or function that you have to select to transfer the movies to the iPad when you sync. They just don't sync over without selecting move.

  • We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?

    We used to be able to watch rented movies from Apple TV right away.  Now it takes hours.  Is there a setting to change?  They used to start playing after a few minutes of starting the download but not now.  What's up?

    Pat, I've been experiencing this issue intermittently for weeks.  It seems to occur with HD content --including HD trailers --exclusively.  Tonight has been no exception.
    I have done considerable troubleshooting to try and isolate the cause.  My results suggest that Apple's servers are to blame but I've not seen many others reporting this issue in these forums lately.
    I live only 170 miles from Apple's North Carolina server farm.  I assume my iTunes rentals are being fed from there.  My broadband connection is a fast one (30Mb down) and consistently tests near that speed when this issue occurs.
    I have both a first and second generation AppleTV.  When this issue occurs, I will change devices and rent the same movie to see if th device itself is to blame.  The issue affects both.  I have tried using an ethernet connection instead of my Airport Extreme's 5Ghz wireless connection but that does not remedy the issue.
    So... my broadband connection is more than capable, my router is performing optimally (I recently had my local Apple Store test it as well), and neither of my AppleTV's is immune to the issue, so...  it must be on the delivery end.
    Unfortunately, Apple does not post the status of their iTunes Store's servers like they did with their MobileMe servers.  They should.  In fact, the AppleTV should display a status message when Apple's iTunes servers are experiencing technical difficulties or heavy network traffic.
    I was an early adopter of AppleTV.  It has not been problematic until now.  This is trying my patience.  My advice is that you request a refund everytime this happens.  I do.
    I am taking this matter to the VP of iTunes services.  If Apple's servers are choking, or if their streams are being throttled by ISP's, or internet TV is too ambitious for this country's internet infrastructure, I deserve to know.

  • Trouble renting movie from itunes

    Has anybody ever received a message when renting movies from iTunes directly on to Apple TV, 2nd G, Error-unable to download content, try again later.  I have not rented anything in a while and I do not seem to be able to move past this point in the rental process.  The movie is behaving like it has been rented, as it is showing I have 29 days to view.  Upon pressing play, it starts showing the loading, and then instead of starting to play the movie or provide an estiamte of how long until it can be played, it goes to the error message above.

    Thank you for the suggestion.  I did pull all cables and reboot the router.  Some additional information I found as I tried other aspects of Apple TV.  Via iTunes I could download and watch theater trailers.  On You Tube I could watch Selected content.  However, when I tried a You Tube Search, for a topic, I receieved yet another strange message indicating a connection issue.  However, mutliple tasks on the menu do connect to the internet and work fine.  I have rebooted the Apple TV several times.  It almost seems if the software of firmware is corrupted.  Does anybody have any additonal thoughts or similar experiences.
