Can I play files from my Seagate Wireless Plus on my iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch?
Yes. Files can be played via Wi-Fi. Videos in formats that are compatible with iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch can be streamed using the Seagate Media app or an internet browser. Unsupported video formats can be played back using a third party media player of your choice. Also, videos can be converted to a playable format on the computer using a third party application before copying the files to the Seagate Wireless Plus.

Unfortunately for the time being you are out of luck. Since the upgrade to iOS 8 you can no longer stream iTunes purchased videos. I am not sure of this is an attempt by apple to exercise tighter control or if it is a bug seagate has yet to fix. In any case seagates instructions are out of date because it did work with iOS 7. Sorry I cannot provide you with better news but it better that you not waste your time. Seagate like most tech companies is reluctant to announce bad news.
