When you download a movie with your ipad, to play it back to you need access to the internet to play it

when downloading a movie to your ipad, is there a way to download it, so when you play it back you do not have to have access to the internet?

If it has been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch it in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online.
If it's a rental then I've seen some posts saying that you need to be online when starting to play it (which you could whilst you still have internet access, though rentals only last for 24 hours in the US, 48 hours elsewhere, after starting to play them).

    Can you download a movie to your ipad if you don't have it physically with you. I'm going out of town tomorrow and want to download a movie now, but my Ipad is at home.

  • IPhone 4s with ios 6 shows full wifi signal but can't access to the internet while other idevice can

    Hi everyone,
    I updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 a few months ago and there was no problem until I change my sim card to other carriers last two days.  This second sim card is the same sim card that I used it earlier this year with no problem.  But the problem I face is when my iphone goes to sleep mode I realised that I can't receive any push notification from imessage, Whatsapp, and Line.  When the phone is awake the wifi signal is back and I have to go to each application in order to get the message.  I have tried the following methods but it didn't work: reset all network settings, restore as new iphone, push home and power button together, switch off my iphone, turn on airplane mode, and even change my router.  At the moment I have restored my iphone as new for the 5th times.
    Now the problem is worsen, after the phone is sleep for about 5 minutes and when I awake my iphone it shows the wifi signal.  But I can't access to the internet at all.  It shows no working internet on Whatsapp. Safari can't load any web page, the weather app can't update temperature etc.  I have to switch off and switch on wifi in setting menu so that I can use the internet. And when I leave my iphone four about 5 - 10 minuetes then the problem start again. While I can't access to the internet on my iphone 4s, I used my dad's iphone 4s with ios 5.0.1 and it works just fine with the internet. My laptop can also access to the internet with the same wifi network but not my iphone.
    Does anybody know what's going on with my iphone 4s? Is it the bug from IOS 6 or my iphone is broken? Please help me.
    Thank you.

    Any update will cause problems for a few users. And those users will rush here and post "the sky is falling" stories about their experience. The 99.99% of people who have no problems after an update won't bother to post here; indeed, most of them don't even know ASC exists. FWIW, I had no problems with iOS 7 on my 4S. Your problem is most likely not related to iOS 6, but you should probably update anyway.

  • Set up Wi-Fi correctly on iPad with Netgear Router WNR 2000 but it won't allow access to the internet?

    I have a Netgear WNR 2000 wireless router and I have set up my iPad 2 to recieve the Wi-Fi Network correctly as it says I am connected to this network and the signal strenght is fine but when I try to access the internet through Safari, iTunes, etc. it says I am not connected to the internet.  Is it possible there is some conflict between the iPad and this router?

    Despite the WiFi sign you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address when the iPad requested it. To check on this go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix for this can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages. There have been several firmware updates to the Netgear WNR 2000 router. You can get the latest firmware here:
    http://support.netgear.com
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), MAC filtering enabled, etc.
    Also test your iPad on some other networks. If it has problems connecting there it might have a hardware problem.

  • TS4006 when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"

    when using iCloud between mac and pad, what does this mean - "your iPad will  no longer back up to your computer automatically when you sync with iTunes"
    DONT WORRY EVERYONE, FOUND THE ANSWER I NEEDED FROM ANOTHER POSTING - THANK YOU

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You don't need to do anything, you have chosen to back up to iCloud instead of iTunes.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

    When I download a movie I bought on my iPad onto my iPhone it downloads completely but doesn't show up in my videos, what is going wrong?

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    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.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!
    Cheers,

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    No, it's not automatically sent to iCloud.
    What do you mean by 'make a video', what are you trying to do.

    As has been discussed on these forums thousands of times, Adobe does not make a flash player for iphone/ipad/ipod and likely never will.
