I have 2 movies I downloaded from ITunes that I would like to watch on an airplane. I'm testing that currently and when I put the IPAD into airplane mode and go to Itunes, it says it cannot connect to Itunes because there is no network. How do I 'browse' to my downloaded movies in Itunes to watch the movie without wireless or 3G?
iPad Wi-Fi + 4G (Verizon)
You are in the wrong app. You watch movies in the Videos app, not in iTunes. Look in there.

It seems you have to start watching a rented movie with an Internet connection so it can start the timer, but after that you can continue to watch it in flight.
Not true. You can start a movie in Airplane Mode, i.e. without a connection, as long as it's fully downloaded.
How do I fully download them? I bought the Lord of the Rings trilogy through my computer, then downloaded them through purchases. But only through iCloud. I can't watch them without internet, but I bought them so I could watch them on road trips when I wouldn't have internet.
I need help. I have read all the responses. My movie rental is stored on iCloud. I have 2 more movies I paid for and cannot download as I have no space. I do not want to purchase space unless I know I can watch them without an Internet connection, as the plane does not have WiFi If I put them on the cloud, can I watch the movies on the plane. It is an 11 hour flight and would like to see feature movies. Anyone confirm?
I am having this problem in the video app as well. Rented and purchased content is visible, but won't play. Any suggestions?
Hiya, By definition if you have your movies in iCloud they are in the internet. And you will need wifi to watch the movies.
If you want to watch them on the plane, you will need to remove enough photos or other media from the iPad and then download the movies.
Hope you can enjoy those movies!
I agree - it makes no sense for Apple to do that. But still, I couldn't play a documentary I'd hired through iTunes a couple of days before on airplane mode.Very poor show Apple.
Ok dumb question where is my videos on my iPad I don't see a icon for that
In the almost three years since this thread was last active, things have changed. If you're using iOS 10, there is not Video app. It's now called TV.
Now that we need to use TV app, do we have to use our our internet? I liked VIDEO better. I couldn't watch a movie on the road.
OMG.....thank you! I kept looking for the Video Icon to watch my downloaded content. You saved the day!
