Unable to watch movie on iPad because not connected to Internet.

I rented my first movie from the iTunes Store yesterday and downloaded it to my iPad 3 to watch on a flight today. But after we reached altitude and we could turn on our electronics, I was unable to watch the movie because I wasn't connected to wifi or cellular data. If the movie was downloaded, why would I have to be online to watch it? Kind of makes the iPad useless for watching movies on flights, and since I've seen other people doing it, something must have gone wrong. Can anyone help on this? Thanks.

Yes, it fully downloaded. I don't have any other movies. This was my first shot at it. Thought I'd give it a try as I had a 4-hour flight today. I was in airplane mode, of course, and when I tried to start the movie I got a message saying I wasn't connected to wifi or cellular data. So I had to read the u s airways magazine five times (ugh!).

HT1491 How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?

How come I can't watch purchased tv show on my ipad if not connected to Internet?

There are two kinds of content, streaming and downloaded. If your show is a streaming show you have to be on the internet to view it. (akin to you not being able to watch youtube videos without being on the net)
Downloaded files can be watched anytime (within the constraints of the DRM of course)

My ipad is not connecting to internet but shows wifi is connected

My Ipad is not connecting to the internet ,but it is showing that Wifi is connected.

The wifi symbol only indicated the presence of wifi. Not that it is connected.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Help not a available because not connected to internet

I have seen numerous posts on the subject of Help being unavailable because iTunes is not connected to the Internet when obviously there is a connection. I should note that I am a Windows 7 user. The problem seems to have been in existence for quite some time from the dates of the posts. Does Apple read anything on these forums... I cannot believe they cannot come up with a solution. I think it is Windows bias... they really don't care about the Windows users. I just purchased a brand new laptop and was reinstalling all the software from my previous workstation and saved iTunes for last because I anticipated problems. Apple lived down to my expectations. What ticks me off is that iTunes seems to be the centerpiece of the Apple devices. My wife has an iPad and iPod and I cannot trust the iTunes won't leave me high and dry. In addition to the "Help" issue, I cannot connect to the iTunes store as i have in the past. I used to see pictures etc. but now all I see is pretty raw html. I am running 10..5.1.42 64bit version of iTunes
I guess my question is.... is there a solution to either of these problems?

I get that sometimes.
Are you just moved from Windows? - this might help a bit: Switcher 101 and Mac 101 while you wait for the help pages to load.

Apple ipad will not connect to internet

I am having a problem with my ipan not connecting to we-fi. the router is working because the pc and other devices are recognizing it, just not the ipad. I had this problem once before when I was out of town and the reset network settings worked but not now. can anyone help?

Used iTunes to download 6.1.2 to the iPad Mini. It then worked for (app store and all) for 3 hours. Then wifi stopped working at all. Hurray!

Unable to software update as it says not connected to Internet

Hi
I've got an iPad 3 and have gone to download the iOS 6.0.1 update in settings. However, it says it can't as it's not connected to the Internet even though I have good wireless signal. Any ideas on how to overcome this?
Thanks x

The cloud is for storing your backups (which will then allow you to restore your content back on to a device), to download content on your iPad you need enough available space on your actual iPad : Settings > General > About > Available.
If you aretrying to download an app then you generally need approximately twice its size to be able to download and install it.

Safari Cannot Open Page Because Not Connected To Internet

Nearly every time I open Safari I get a page that says Safari cannot open the page because you are not connected to the internet but I am connected wirelessly to the Airport Extreme. Each time this happens I click on Network Diagnostics and I go through the procedure and I get connected again. Should I need to do this nearly every time I open Safari or is there something I could do so I don't have to do this every time? It connects but only after I go through Network Diagnostics.

All I can think of is it's not saving the configurations you have set up for it.

HT4623 My iPad is not connecting to internet after software update what can i do

Hi everyone I just update the software 7.0.4 on my iPad 2 and after doing that cannot connect to internet, can somebody tell me
what to do to correct this issue? Please

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
If yes you can try resetting your Network Settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note that you will have to re-enter all of your WiFI passwords.

IPad will not connect to Internet using 3G

I have an iPad 2 with both wi fi and 3G capabilities. I purchased Verizon month to month plan once I purchased it from the Apple store. My iPad works fine with wi fi but if I am on the road and try to use my 3G it randomly will stop working for days then suddenly will work again. And yes my account is always paid up with Verizon so I don't understand why I can't connect to Internet unless I use my wifi. Any suggestions?

Check with Verizon to see if they have good coverage in the areas where you don't get 3G.

IPad Air can not connect to internet after updating to iOS8.

Safari CAN NOT OPEN ANY PAGES because the iPad is not connected to internet. I updated to iOS8 last night and have been trying to reset my ipad as well. However, the problem is still there. It even says my Apple ID incorrect. GUYS! DO NOT UPDATE YOUR iPAD TO iOS8 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!!!!!! Luckily, I did not do anything with my phone. PHEW

Other threads I've read have had people note that the following solutions have worked for them:
If you have a 5 GHz wi-fi router, turn off 5 GHz support and let it fall back to 2.4 GHz.
Change wi-fi router to auto-select channels, or manually select a different channel than what it's on now.
Disable iCloud Drive.
I'm not saying that that any of these will work, but it's something to try (one at a time).

Trying to update ios8.01 and phone verification say am not connected to Internet

trying to update ios8.01.01 and phone keep saying verification failed because not connected to Internet which is connected

Apple pulled ios 8.0.1 due to some serious bugs mostly affecting 6 and 6plus users. even if you are on another device you will not be able to update until the new update hopefully one that fixes those issue is released. you can always downgrade to ios8 via itunes. make sure you always back up your phone prior to any restores/updates just so that you know you will have your content either on icloud or computer.
