Yes you can use home sharing with just a local network. Obviously you won't have access to all the other content.

Can I run my iPad to a projector wirelessly with no internet?
Before I start, you need to know that I don't know what things like "WAN" and "LAN" mean, this seems to be the cause of my misunderstanding so far. If you could help me out in common English words, that would be fantastic!
I'm a music teacher, I teach the majority of my class through my iPad Air hooked up to a projector through a lightning bolt/VGA cable and run audio down to a speaker system through a standard 1/8 headphone cable. But I would like to do this wirelessly so I can walk around the room.
Biggest problem I have is no wireless internet at my school. I have a plan but I don't know if it will work:
Airport Express - I can use this to create a wireless network in my classroom (a non-internet wireless network)... Is this a LAN?
Apple TV - If my iPad and Apple TV are both connected through the Airport Express, they can play together even with the lack of an internet connection.
HDMI to VGA adapter - I use this to connect Apple TV to the projector.
From what I've seen I think I have to set up the network at home where I have internet. I need to put the Airport Express into client mode and do something about changing an IP address. Does this sound right?
Once it's set up, I can unplug it from my modem at home and move it to my classroom, plug it into a power strip and I'm good to connect my stuff, even without internet at school.
(How can I make sure the Apple TV connects to the Airport Express?)
I think there may be a bonus to this plan as well: I should be able to hook a printer up to the Airport Express so I can print directly from my iPad completely bypassing the terrible printers we have on the schools network.
Can anyone tell me if this plan will actually work? I can't afford spending the $250 for something that isn't going to work.
Thank you!Is this a LAN?
LAN -- local area network. Yes.
From what I've seen I think I have to set up the network at home where I have internet.
I'd move the hardware to your school without making any changes. The hardware will think the internet is down, but you already expect that & should not be a problem.

The iPad supports only AirPrinters. You can install some more software on your ipad to print to the printer ( if the extra software supports the printer. )

How can I use Apple Caching Service on a Network with Multiple Public IPs?
Hello!
I help manage a network of ~4000 clients for a small liberal arts college in Michigan. I'm looking into the possibility of implimenting Apple Caching Server for our network.
We have one 400mbit pipe out to the internet, and all of our clients are given public-facing IPs to the internet. A caching server would be great, especially on update days. All wireless clients are on the same subnet, which is where I'd like the server to be serving the cached copies.
I have installed Mavericks on a fresh machine, downloaded OS X Server 3.0.3, and attempted to start the caching service. This is what I get.
Unable to start service.
Caching cannot be run on a public network. Consult documentation.
How can I get this up and running?The way the Caching server works is that the server will be accessing the Internet and when doing so traffic will be coming from it via a particular public IP address. Usually this will not be the address of the server itelf but your router as for most networks NAT is used. In this by far more common scenario the client Macs (and likely iOS devices) will be going through the same router and hence show up via the same public IP address.
If the client request is the same as the address registered via the Caching server then Apple redirect the request via the Caching server.
The setup would look something like this -
Internet
|
Router (with NAT)
|
(LAN) +------Caching Server-----Client devices
With this setup because everything is using the same public IP address Apple can reasonably assume everything is on the same network and trigger a redirection to your Caching server.
If you try a setup like the following with the Caching server having its own public IP it will not work because the Caching server and client devices will have different public IP addresses
Internet
|
Router (no NAT)-------------------+
| |
Firewall (with NAT) Caching Server
| |
| |
(LAN) +-----Client devices-----------+-----------
Your configuration as described is more like the following
Internet
|
Router (no NAT)
|
(LAN) +------Caching Server-----Client devices
With yours not having NAT each device has its own public IP address including the Caching server and Apple cannot redirect traffic as it thinks they are on different networks. -
HT204291 Can I use Apple TV without a home network
Hi
My friend has an iphone 5 and has just bought Apple TV so she can watch movies on the tv off her phone but she has no home phone line so no internet at home except for through her iphone how can she connect her phone to the Apple TV she did think she might be able to use her personal hot spot but can not seem to get the Apple TV to see it
Any advice gratefully acceptedI'm a little baffled, though... the Apple TV teardowns show that the boxes have 8 GB of flash, which is an awful lot. Isn't there any way I can load a movie to the box locally, using USB and iTunes or another method?
Thanks. -
When I started my iMac today, it started beeping like an alarm horn. I shut it down, and held the startup button a little longer to get it to start. Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer. I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again. What's up? Am I screwed? HELP!!
What you are seeing is a kernel panic, often but not always connected with a hardware or peripheral issue, so, unplug everything except mouse and keyboard, reboot and hold the shift key as soon as your hear the chime, continue holding it until you see the Apple Icon and spinning progress indicator, then post back.
It will take noticeably longer than normal to start. -

can i run a printer off the ethernet cable connection without hurting the imac or is the ethernet slot only for internet connection?
Hi, Alan -
How can I connect to both printer (HP 4050n, via direct connection) and internet (via LAN), as my iMac has only one R45 port?
You can, but you'll need to expand your cabling a bit.
You'll need to get an intermediate ethernet hub, switch, or router. That device sits alone, with the Mac, your printer, and your modem/LAN plugged into it.
If you are already using a router, either separate or in combination with the modem (many modems have a built-in router), then you just need a hub or switch.
I use an ethernet switch (10/100/1000) to let both my Macs (a 2010 iMac and an elderly G4 DA model) use my HP4000n printer and my modem. The ethernet switch is a passive device, meaning there's no setup nor instructing it required - it's truly plug-and-play. All four items (two Macs, printer, and modem) are plugged into it via ethernet; both Macs have full-time independent access to the printer and the modem. -
Can you shut Apple TV off with the remote?
I don't know if there is a shortcut using the remote, but you could put the AppleTV in sleep manueally by going in the Setting menu.
Besides, there is no real need to do this since you can setup your AppleTV to go in sleep after a specified time and it will then go in sleep automatically. -
Can I use time capsule as an NAS devise with sonos, to play music library when iMac is off?
can I use time capsule as an NAS devise with sonos, to play music library when iMac is off?
Apparently Sonos system can play from the library without needing iTunes running.
In that case yes, the library can be played directly from TC.
See https://discussions.apple.com/message/18562619#18562619
Sonos needs fully compliant SMB file system.. this is important.. and not what the Apple system is using to access the TC.
Moving the library has to be done correctly.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
There are plenty of discussions in forums and technical sites.. this seems well worth a read.
http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/12/how-to-offload-your-itunes-library-to-a-nas /
TC is very non-ideal itunes library location.. unlike a real NAS.
Just so you are aware. If you have TM backups on it.. mixing backups and data is not a good idea.
At least consider moving backups to USB drive. You will need the speed of the TC internal drive for using the library though.
TC has no way to back itself up.
TC is slow to start.. you will get errors as the library is not found.
And quick to spin down drives.. it is not designed to stream media.. it is a backup target for TM. -
The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?
If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

Thinking of purchasing Time Capsule.... Can I access my documents saved on (Home Network) Time Capsule from another Network??? For instance, I can access my documents saved on MyBookLive (which is connected to my wifi) from ANY wifi connection... Like when I'm at school I can download documents stored on my MyBookLive at home.... I love this feature... But I would prefer to keep my products apple... So my question is can I access my documents from ANYWHERE with Time Capsule???
Other products I have: MacBook (2009 limited edition it's aluminum) two iPad2 (2012) iPhone 5 (2012) two iphone4 iPod touch (2010) iPod Nano (2011)Remote access to TC is allowed by BTMM and iCloud service.
Not for ipad or iphone.. only the Macbook although I think people have some work arounds..
NOTE. Your school firewall should block it. If I was still working in network admin I would. ie you are risking the whole network to get access to files unchecked for viruses.. and please don't just say Macs don't get viruses, you can still be the source of the infection even if you don't suffer the disease. Just a carrier.

My Ipod was originally set up as a sub-account of a firends. After that, I got an Iphone and set up my own Apple account. I just got a new Ipod, and now can't sync my old Itunes to it. Can anyone help me? I'm even OK with deleting the old Itunes account, and staring over. I just really want to get the new Ipod under my own account, and be able to use it...
There is no such thing as a "sub-account." Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account." Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases. iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account). You'll need to clarify...
So, this is what I think you are saying. You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend. Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library.
You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library. Is that on a different computer? How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
You got a new iPod. What is your "old iTunes"? Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend? -
