iTunes help

If I download something from iTunes, once I have done that can it be watched when I'm not connected to wifi? I thought it could but I can't figure out how

On the computer/device with iTunes that you downloaded it to, yes.

Should be just a case of double-clicking it to play.

googler

Depends on where you download it to, and what device you want to watch it on, surely?

What have you downloaded it to?
What do you want to watch it on?
Which of these devices are WiFi enabled?

I bought it on my iPad and want to use it on my iPad.

It should just play. However - iTunes does allow you to start playing before the download has finished, but only when you still have an active connection, so check that it has actually finished downloading.

Other than that, it should definitely work - we do it all the time when travelling with the children.

It had finished downloading as I did it a few days ago at home then wanted to play it while out yesterday but when I clicked iTunes I couldn't go any further without wifi

It will be in 'Videos', not iTunes

or music, if it's music - obviously

Sorry for the triple post, but I figured I'd best explain further.

iTunes on the desktop (PC/Mac) acts as both the store and the player. On iPads/iPhones etc, iTunes is only the store - other apps, such as Videos or Music, act as the players. Therefore, you buy with iTunes and the content appears in the relevant app for playing.

I also had accidentally done something that stopped the screen rotating but I figured that out using the iPad instruction book from iBooks....still feel stupid though lol
