Watching movies on a plane

I know how to watch a streaming movie. Is there a way to download a movie rental? I don't want to buy the movie but you cannot watch streaming video on a plane.

No. Streaming is used since if the movie was downloaded it would be easier for someone to "steal" a copy.
Movie rentals from the iTunes Store are downloaded, not streamed. Netflix, I believe, is all streaming, so perhaps that's where your confusion arises.
Regards.

    You can watch them on a plane, in a train, in a car, in a bar, or on a bike, you can watch them anywhere you like.

  • How do i watch movie rentals i rented on my imac but view on my apple TV

    How do I watch movie rentals I rented on my iMac but view on my apple TV?

    How do I watch movie rentals I rented on my iMac but view on my apple TV?
    Sounded like a good question to me but nobody seemed willing to respond. So... as I had never rented a movie, I decided to test the work flow on one of the $0.99 "specials" found on iTunes. For my test, I selected "Dark House." The 943.5 MB SD movie downloaded in about 8 minutes to the "Store/Downloads" area in the  iTunes app on my older PPC computer—most likely a volatile cache area as I could not locate a physical file at the Finder level. In any case, it seems that if you select the file in the "iTunes/Downloads" tab, it appears you can play the file locally on the computer (later confirmed this). However, as I wanted to take advantage of the my ethernet connection to my main HDTV, I went to that TV2 device connected to it and checked it's local menu. Sure enough, I found the movie available in a newly added "Rentals" menu that now displayed between the "Music" and "Movies" sub-menus within my own iTunes Library menu.
    Be advised that starting file takes a second or two of extra time each time the you quit/restart playback as it seems the movie must be "re-authorized" for the device each time. Further, the rental can only be played on one device at a time. That is, if you want to switch from the device to another, you must close the playback sub-menu for the current device before opening the file on an alternative device. In my case, I tested switching the movie back and forth between an TV2 device and the iTunes player.
    Hope that answers your question as I plan to go and watch the move now. If nothing else, this was a learning experience for me. Quality was typical for the data rate and I had no problems viewing the content on my system. I also like the fact that chapter "descriptors" were used for this content rather than the default chapter numbers I normally use.

  • HT1657 Do you have to have wi if to watch movies once downloaded

    Can you answer my question re downloads and whether you have to have wifi to view movies on a plane?

    As long as the film has been fully downloaded then you should be able to watch it whilst offline

  • HT1657 Do you need wifi to watch movies?

    I want to rent a movie and watch it on a plane (no wifi) is this possible?

    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.

  • I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
    Many Thanks

  • Connecting MacBook to TV to watch movies

    I am wanting to connect my MacBook to my television but not sure what cable(s) to buy to be able to watch movies on my TV. It's not for HD, just a standard tv. Im not sure which MacBook model i have, all i know its the model before they introduced the aluminium model. Any help would be greatly appreciated .. Thanks guys!

    My tv in the living room only has scart and the three colours (Red, Yellow, White).. Its pretty old.. hopefully get a new one soon :P.. but the one in my room has S-Video.. Is there a big different in video/audio quality between the two? If so.. what's best? Is S-Video just for the picture and will i not need something else for sound?

  • What cable do I need to watch movies on my Sony HDTV LCD tv from MacBook pr

    I have a brand new MacBook pro 13" and just wanted to watch movies on my tv instead of the laptop, thanks

    Depends on what input options you have on your TV.
    If your TV has DVI in then you need a MiniDisplay Port to DVI Adapter.
    If your TV does not have DVI in but has HDMI then you need a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support.
