Thanks to

streaming

video services like

Amazon Prime

and

Netflix

, the concept of needing to physically possess a movie — like on DVD or Blu-ray — is becoming obsolete. 

But while all you need is a Wi-Fi connection to watch a movie, sometimes Wi-Fi just isn’t available. If you know you’ll be somewhere without internet access, like an airplane or a cabin in the woods, you can plan ahead by downloading movies and TV shows to your

iPad

in advance. 

However, there are a couple of caveats. First, not all

Amazon Prime

content can be downloaded. To download something, it either needs to be an

Amazon Prime

title that’s included in the subscription, or something you’ve purchased. 

In addition, depending upon where you live,

Amazon

only allows you to download between 15 to 25 titles at a time.
