Hi, just hoping someone can answer this question....
I have an iPad, that operates only on wifi.
If I download a film through iTunes can the film be watched later when the iPad is not connected to wifi? Like in the car?
Wanting to download a film for my son to watch on our journey on holiday?
Many thanks

    Yes it can, if you download from itunes, download being the optimum word, Sites like Netflix where it's streaming would need wifi access.

    As above. A downloaded song/movie etc is stored on the device, so no internet connection required to play it. A streamed song/movie etc is stored on the internet, in this instance an internet connection IS required to play it
    How do I add a signature?
