I have 3 movies downloaded on my Ipad from Itunes. They appear in my Videos app while I am connected to wifi. When I turn off wifi, they do not appear in the app. Also, while on a plane this week, I could not connect my ipad to the airline wifi and I could not watch my movies. What am I doing wrong or not doing correctly?

Hi there CoachRocco,

It sounds like you are able to see the movies in your Videos app but they disappear when there is no internet connection. That makes sense and is expected for videos that aren't actually downloaded to the device. You should be able to download and store them locally on the iPad with these steps from the following article:

Download past purchases from iTunes

On an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Tap Settings > Videos and make sure Show All Videos is on.

Tap the Videos app.

Tap Movies, Music Videos, or TV Shows at the bottom of the page.

Find the item that you want to download.

Tap the Download icon .
