Updating iTunes without an internet connection

Hi,
I just got my iPhone, but my version of iTunes is outdated and so I can't use it with the phone. It's a long, long story, but I'm without an internet connection for a few months.
Can I just download the .exe file to a flash drive and then use that to update my current iTunes, or do I have to uninstall iTunes before I do that? Or is there another way?
Yeah, in case you haven't guessed, I'm not exactly clued up on computers so go easy, please.
Thanks

Can I just download the .exe file to a flash drive and then use that to update my current iTunes.
Yes, you can. Download the iTunes installer on any computer that has Internet access. Then copy that installer to any removable medium - flash drive, CD/DVD etc. You can then take the installer to your computer and use it to update your copy of iTunes.
do I have to uninstall iTunes before I do that?
No, you don't have to uninstall iTunes before updating (at least not unless something goes wrong).
Note that there may be issues with an iPhone - registering, updating, etc. - if your computer doesn't have Internet access. I don't have an iPhone so I'm not sure.
Regards.

  • Using iTunes without an internet connection

    I use iTunes to sync my Outlook calendar to my iPhone at work.
    Our network administrator has blocked iTunes Store access on our corporate network.
    Until two days ago, this was not a problem and I could sync my calendar to my phone without issue. Two days ago I plugged my work computer (PC) into a non-corporate network to pull down and install the 3.1.3 update for my phone. The update was successful. I then attached my computer back on the corporate network which blocks iTunes Store access. Now, every time I attach my phone to the computer via USB, iTunes loads, then reports it cannot connect to the iTunes Store and will not sync with my calendar. In fact, it will not even display the Summary page in iTunes for my phone.
    I uninstalled iTunes, downloaded the latest version and installed it, but the issue continues.
    How can I prevent iTunes from trying to connect to iTunes Store, or even the internet. I only care about sync'ing my calendar with this specific computer.
    Thank you in advance,
    John

    I also heard, that it could work vie a burn folder, but I don´t know how to bounce my waveburner project in a way, that I still have single tracks. When I bounce it, I just get one very long track.

  • How to update SQLDeveloper without an internet connection?

    Hi, everyone!
    I've installed SQLDeveloper 1.1 on database servers at a site I work for. Now,
    for security reasons we do not have any internet access from these database servers.
    Which makes me wonder: In such a scenario (which probably is not too uncommon these
    days), is there any way to update SQLDeveloper?
    Obviously, the "Check for Updates..." button cannot be used in here. I'd be grateful
    for any suggestions (and hope this will not be "yet another case of RTFM" :-)
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Michael,
    Up to now, all updates were always made available inside the current download of the full version. So you could monitor the homepage (or check for updates on another machine) and install the new full package, migrating the settings when being asked.
    If you do have another machine, I supose you could even just copy the updated jars (untested).
    Maybe someone else has a better alternative.

    I have purchased and downloaded some TV Shows through iTunes. How can I watch them on my iPad without an internet connection?

    Demo the same thing happened to me.  I purchased a seasons pass for Sons of Anarchy Season 6 and I've got the eposides on my IPad but Airplay won't allow me to watch the episodes without an internet connection or WiFi.  Is there anything else I can do so that I can watch these eposides without an internet or wifi connections?

  • Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone without itunes or an internet connection?

    Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone 5 without itunes or an internet connection? I'm a pro photographer and I need to transfer photos from my camera, edit them, copy photos to my iphone and send via 4G network to an editor. I will be in a location without internet access and my old computer itunes wont sync with my new iphone 5. I can't upgrade the computer right now because I need some of the old software.  Thanks.

  • Is there a way that I can control iTunes with the iPhone without any internet connections?

    First let me say that I am ready to throw this POS in the lake.  Is there a way that I can control iTunes with my iPhone without any internet connections?  On my houseboat I have a wifi router and want to connect my phone to my computer to control my music which plays from my computer through my stereo.  I can easily do it with my laptop without having to jump through any internet APPLE BS , but I dont want to have my laptop out on the deck. I just want to use the phone as a remote control.
    Remote wont do it because it keeps saying Im not connected to the internet, even though is is connected to my computer.  Same problem with JumiAmp.

    It should have an option to manage iTunes library without network connection, like Bluetooth or connect directly to the computer without a router or wi-fi, i live outsite of the city and i dont have the ability to control my iTunes librry from the iphone

    I've forgotten my pass-code to my Ipod touch 4g and when I try to restore and update it on my itunes library the internet connection cuts out so this is not an option. Is there another way to fix this problem? Cheers

    The only way is to connect the iPod to a computer with has an internet connection and iTunes and restore the iPod. Use as friiend's computer or make an appointment at ther Geniuds Bar of an Apple store.

  • I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased

    I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.

    Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

  • Can you download movies into iTunes then watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch them in our RV that does have an internet connection always.

    Can you download movies into iTunes and watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch downloaded movies in our RV.

    If you want to watch on your iPad screen, you don't even need airplay.
    If you want to watch on a television screen, you need an AppleTV.
    In both cases...
    If the movies are purchased, there is no need for an Internet connection to the outside world.  If they're rented, you need an Internet connection for the first minute or so that Apple knows that you're watching the movie.  I do not know if a rented movie can be stopped and restarted without an Internet connection.

  • How do I turn off iTunes genius without having Internet connection?

    How do I turn off iTunes genius without having Internet connection? When I go to the iTunes menu select store, the drop-down box has "Turn Off Genius" grayed out.  I had Internet service when I started/activated my iTunes genius. But now, I stopped my Internet service and I cannot deactivate/stop the iTunes genius from trying to access the iTunes Store.  Is there a way to turn this function off!?  Any help would do.  I have iTunes 10.7(21) 64 bit
    thanks

    Internet access required to authorize.

  • HT1657 Can a movie be watched on an airplane without a internet connection?

    Can an Itunes movie be watched on an airplane without an internet connection? If so, how does it know when to start the 24 hour timer for the movie to be deleted?

    In theory it should work, in reality many keep coming here stating it did not work. Things get a little muddled as location services and time-zones can cause all kinds of glitches when travelling at jet speeds.

  • Direct Sync? (without an internet connection)

    Anyone know if you could directly sync the AppleTV with iTunes? Wi-Fi takes forever for everything I have. My AppleTV is active and registered, so I am hoping there is a way.

    Sorry, should have been more clear. My internet speed is awesome here, about 60 gigs. Wireless is great also, sure not the 60 gigs, but not bad. I have a Time Capsule near my desk, with an Airport Extreme extending the signal to the living room. So it has a great signal.
    Maybe I should ask my question like this. Can I transfer my movies and music WITHOUT an internet connection? My internet is going to be down for a couple days and just thought I would see if there is a way to do it without an internet connection.

  • Can you print from a iPad to an AirPrint printer without an Internet connection?

    Can you print from a iPad to an AirPrint printer without an Internet connection?

    General Jer-
    Maybe.
    If you can set up your AirPrint printer's WiFi to create an Ad Hoc Network, then your iPad can connect its WiFi directly to it and be able to print.
    I have the HP D110 AirPrint printer.  As I recall, it was set up in Ad Hoc Network mode out of the box.  I had to change the setting in order to update its firmware over the internet.  You probably should do that as well, to be sure it has the latest firmware.
    If you happen to have an old Apple AirPort WiFi base station, you can use its WiFi network for printing.  It does not require an internet connection to print.  Other brands may work as well, but some do not correctly handle the Bonjour data required by AirPrint.

  • Getting books on the iPad without an internet connection?

    Please help. I'm in Afghanistan and I have an iPad and a MBP. I can get the MBP on the internet that is provided here, but I can't put the iPad on the internet here. I have both iBooks and the Kindle app. Is there a way that I can buy books and get them to either of these two programs from my MBP without the iPad being connected to the internet?
    Thanks

    I believe that the Kindle app needs an internet connection as it needs to connect to amazon.com in order to download content (the books aren't stored locally in iTunes on your pc/mac) - so though you'd be able to buy books at Amazon I don't think that you then get them onto your iPad without an internet connection.
    I also think that iBooks needs an internet connection in order to purchase books from the iBook store, but you can use it via iTunes on MBP to copy PDFs or non-DRM ePub books from other sources.

  • LR5 without an internet connection

    Can you buy the Lightroom 5 CD and activate it on your computer without an internet connection? My photography computer is not connected to the internet and I dont want to connect it.

    You can buy the standalone version of Lightroom 5.0 (which is the version sold on CD at Amazon and other places) and then use Lightroom without an internet connection. The Map Module will not work without an Internet connection.
    You might want to download the latest update of Lightroom, which is Lightroom 5.7.1 and use that instead of Lightroom 5.0. You could download the installer file on a different computer from Product updates and then move that file to your PC which is not connected to the Internet and then install that way.
