Unable to download shows for offline viewing on the Hulu app on my iPad.

I’m trying to download movies and shows for offline viewing on the Hulu app, but am unable to do so on my iPad Air 2. The download icon in the app just keeps spinning, but never downloads. I’ve left it overnight and still not downloaded. I’ve checked the iPad storage in my settings and it shows as “ partially downloaded.” Each time I try it downloads the same small fraction, then just keeps spinning.


My iPad OS is updated, the Hulu app is up to date, I’ve restarted my iPad, I’ve done a hard reset. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled Hulu. Nothing works. I’ve googled the problem and it seems like a very common problem with the iPad Air 2 (going back for at least a year now), and yet no solution. Hoping to download movies and shows for a flight later this week.

Hello Lotsofsax,


It sounds like you're having trouble downloading movies and shows for offline viewing on your iPad.


A few steps to try to resolve this:


  1. Check to see that you have enough storage for the movies or shows: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
  2. Try downloading the content again using a different Wi-Fi network.
  3. Check for any available updates for the Hulu app and your iPad.
  4. Try downloading movies from a different service to see if the issue is only related to that particular app.


Take care.
