Can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

can you use apple watch without pairing to iphone?

Essentially no.  Your watch has to connect to an iphone to be of any use.
Once you do pair your watch and phone and you are in a known wifi area, you can turn off Bluetooth and your watch SHOULD connect directly with wifi. I've found it doesn't always connect.
As of right now my bluetooth on the phone is OFF and I'm on wifi and can get notifications, play games, imessages, check instagram, etc etc.

  • Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    Can you use Apple Pay without also needing to use a passcode to unlock your phone? I don't see that combination of options in settings.

    I too don't like this. I would like to be able to use Touch ID for purchases on the App Store, Apple Pay, & Apple Store without having to use a passcode to unlock my phone. Why not allow the Touch ID to be app specific? Let us use it when we need it, not force us to use it for everything or nothing at all. That ***** that you have to set up a Passcode for your phone if you want to use Apple Pay. I didn't know about that. I haven't set that up yet because I'm waiting for them to support my credit card. Now I'm thinking I may not use Apple Pay. What a pain! Come on Apple, let us pick and choose what we want to lock down on our phones!!!

  • Can you use apple watch on the inside wrist?

    I Am wondering if you can use Apple watch on the inside wrist Instead of facing outwards, it's just the way I've always worn a watch, and wondering if I have to change?

    The manual says that the heart rate monitoring wouldn't be as accurate if worn on the inside. However, other people have posted that it works fine.
    Both my mother and my brother have always worn watches on the inside of their wrists. I've never figured out how they (and you) don't bang them up on desks and edges of keyboards. But I'm sure it would be as annoying to you to change to wearing a watch on the outside as it would be for me to change to the inside.

  • Can you use Apple TV without multicast enabled?

    I need to figure out a way to use my Apple TV through Airplay without enabling multicasting on my router.

    Airlay is built on Bonjour and multicast, you are going to be unable to avoid these technologies.

  • Can you use Apple TV to watch HBO

    Can you use Apple TV to watch HBO

    The problem is the tech dinosaur "DVD" is still the bread and butter money maker for them.  Streaming is getting better but greed is keeping it from blooming.  NetFlix had the price increase because the cost to stream in this case from STARS was ridicoulus. Streaming content in general is not very good from neither NetFlix nor Amazon prime. 
    Looking at NetFlix "New Arrivals" right now.
    OMG!
    Ironclad
    Lodes Kitchen
    The Flinstones
    Saw III
    Starz Play is a little better;
    Toy Story 3
    Secretariat
    Weird Sciecnce
    Father Of The Bride.
    But Starz play is going bye bye. NetFlix got a little boost by signing a deal with Dreamworks, but that is still 2 years away. I really see DVD rentals hanging on for at least 5 more years at current levels.  In general I am very happy with my AppleTV, I am not happy with the issues it so frequently has with NetFlix, and only wish it had more selections for streaming.
    Maybe Oct 4 we get an announcment.

  • Can i use apple tv without a hd tv

    can i use apple tv without a hd tv

    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2) or a minimum of 480p

    currently no
    but some people say that airparrot can though it does not rely on the gpu for realtime encoding so performance would be worse
    with the next version of osx you are suppose to be able to do what you ask though

    Apple TV requires an HDTV. It is a media streamer and all content would be available on your Mac so there would be no reason to connect it anyway.

  • Can you use apple tv on 2009 mac

    can you use apple tv on a 2009 mac . I have Mac OS X (10.7.5 running

    Yes but it will probably be too old for Airplay mirroring of the Mac's display but should work fine for sharing photos from iPhoto/Aperture or playing compatibl media from your local iTunes library with iTunes running.
    For many features AppleTv does not need a computer at all.

  • Can you use Apple TV 1 and Tv 2 together And what is the best setup

    Hey guys
    Can you use Apple TV 1 and Tv 2 together?
    And if you can what is the best setup with teh two devices above and the need to hook it to one TV.
    Thanks in advance.
    -David

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If I understand correctly you want to use both the Apple TV's with one TV.
    There wouldn't be a problem with that, they will each need there own network connection and should be connected to different AV inputs on the TV so that you can switch between each Apple TV as a source with your TV remote.
    If you don't have two HDMI ports on the TV, the Apple TV 1 will connect by component cables, if this isn't possible you would need to get yourself an HDMI switch.
