Windows APP without real internet connection stops working in time

Windows APP without real internet connection stops working in time
Hello all,
I am trying to get the following to work. We have an intranet page which users need to connect to, to operate some machines. This is done through an windows 8.1 Tablet with an assigned KIOSK mode app (Kios SP Browser).
This works great as the assigned app is the only thing the user can run and we don't have to really harden the device. One drawback in using the assigned apps is that it needs to be an New App (as Microsoft call it)
The app is installed on an reference machine which runs in workgroup mode (no domain connection is needed on the devices) and after the reference machine is installed it is imaged with the use of Acronis. After deployment the tablet has no connection to
internet and the intranet page is wireless put available to the tablets. As a side note, the tablet operates with local accounts and the app is installed using an corporate hotmail account we created just for this purpose.
I now deployed the image over 20 different tablet devices and this worked great until recently a few devices start to complain it needs to connect to the windows shop before the app can be started. As the devices don't have internet access this can't be
done and the tablet is rendered useless for the user.
How can i make the app available without internet connection ? and how can i be sure the app will continue to work over time without connection to the store ?

Thanks for the reply.
I can't unblock the internet connection as the wireless network doesn't have any internet connection what so ever. The main purpose is to be able to operate the machinery and nothing else, hence the kios app which is being used to show the intranet page
which connects than to the devices.
The problem is that after imaging the app works as expected but after a few days the app stops to work ...
I found the following website over site loading an app without the needed appx files. It shows an way to capture the files during installation from the windows store.
https://www.404techsupport.com/2014/06/installing-free-windows-8-modern-apps-without-the-windows-store/
It is a bit strange to have it this difficult to install apps without the needed store and i think that Microsoft should make this easier. I hope this works better and after a few days i will give the feedback how this handles..
If anyone knows of a better way .....

All of a sudden my internet connection stopped working.

All of a sudden my internet connection stopped working. It works for every other computer in the house. I have gone to other networks. I have turned on/off my computer. Nothing seems to work. When I click diagnosis connection it is not fixed. Please HELP! It always tells me that I am not connected to the internet yet I have full bars at the top.

Have you also tried restarting the router?
If that doesn't work, try creating a new "Location":
System Preferences > Network
Select the AirPort from the left hand side
Click on the Locations combo box and select Edit Locations...
Click on + to add a new location, call it "Home" (or anything else you prefer)
Click on Advanced
Select the AirPort tab and enter your network name
Select TCP/IP tab.
Configure IPv4 Using DHCP
Now click on Renew DHCP Lease. After a few seconds you should get an IP address (probably 192.168.x.x)
Click on Proxies tab.
Select Auto Proxy Discovery and Use Passive FTP
Click on OK and Apply, etc.
Good luck

IPad Retina Problem: Wireless Internet Connection Stops Working All The Time

the wireless would all the sudden stop working. What happen is, I'd be going from one page to another and then BOOM. No more loading, the little circular "loading" icon never ending.
Also happens with iTunes trailers app, in general all the wifi.
What i've already tried:
Performing a full ipad restoration (as new restoration). I dont have issues with my ipod touch 5 or my galaxy sIII or my pc's, so i assume the ipad retina is faulty?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Can I open creative cloud app without an internet connection ?

I Need to get work edits made to Photoshop and illustrator documents and they won't open as my internet connection is down all day today. Is there a workaround ?
Regards,
Anthony

Hello Anthony,
No. Your Creative Cloud desktop applications (such as Photoshop and Illustrator) are installed directly on your computer, so you won’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
An internet connection is required the first time you install and license your desktop apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license.
The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days, but for annual members, you can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode.
Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 30 days in offline mode.
Do you have any error message?
Thank you.
Arnaud.

Is it possible to install App Store apps without an internet connection?

My wife and I both use the same Apple ID for everything. If she were at home, this would be a no brainer; but she is now stationed in Afghanistan. She currently does not have access to the internet.
So...is it possible for me to download some games from the app store then copy them to a jump drive so that she can install them on her lap top over there? Her new laptop was 'authorized' through our iTunes account before she left the states.
Thanks for your assistance.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Simple drag & drop apps that are mostly what are available in the Mac App Store (MAS) should be fine to burn to CD/DVD or a USB thumb drive and install on another Mac. I would test the apps to make sure that it works for those that you wish to send to her.
I wouldn't put any weight to the BS about fine print. Apple's terms of use for the MAS are that you can install the apps on all of the Macs that you own or that are in your control. There is no restriction on the location of those Macs; home or office, USA or Afganistan!

My internet connection stopped working (I can't even get a connection with an Ethernet cable). I "accidently" let my laptop be upgraded to a later version of Firefox. How do I dump it and go back to the earlier verision which worked well?

Enough is enough.

I've had the same problem a couple times now. Firefox seems to magically update itself anytime my computer gets unplugged and shuts down; when I restart my computer it loads a new update to firefox and voila! no internet access. Does it tell you that Firefox is configured to a server that's not accepting connections? I found what looks like a maybe promising solution here- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls - under "Windows Firewall" (which may be my problem) but if that's not it the only thing I've found to do is, using my husband's computer (which he never seems to delete install packages from) load the files for Firefox 3.6.3 onto an SD card and keep it handy. It's irritating, but it works. If you need the installer package, let me know and I'll email it to you.

[Solved] Moved from location and internet connection stopped working.

Hello everyone, this is my first post in the forums and first time using arch so please bear with me. I recently bought an Asus UX51, formatted it and installed arch linux with the help of the beginner's guide. After overcoming several problems (preinstalled raid, nvidia optimus to name a few) I managed to get it running, installed a DE and was using wireless connection just fine with
# ip link set wlp3s0 up
# wifi-menu wlp3s0
Everything was going fine until I came for a holyday's week to my parents house and tried to connect to their wireless network to no avail. I have WAP in my house, same do they in their house (in which I'm right now).
I have been trying the past 2 days with netctl, and even the manual method described in the wiki , googled, etc. I'm already out of ideas so I decided it was time to ask for help. If it's of any use, wifi-menu scans the network properly, and # netctl status wlp3s0-interface_name returns this:
Also read somewhere in the forums to try # journalctl -b , this is what I get on the last page:
When I try #ping, I get the following after having to wait around 15 secs :
~$ ping google.com
ping: unknown host google.com
I even tried booting from an USB with an arch iso, just to try getting a wired connection, mount my arch installation and download some other network manager just to see if I got any luck, but not even that worked (in my house, just by connecting the cable before booting I would automatically have internet access when booting with the iso, but it didn't work here...).
Any help would greatly be appreciated.

I got it running !
Just followed the manual guide once more, but managed to bypass some problem I had the first time I tried (you could say I was a bit lost by the command in the wiki but managed to understand it a bit more this time)
I believe the setup my parents have here is pretty messed up, other people get similar problems from time to time with the network, but I don't really understand much to mess with it so I'd rather leave it like it is.
In case it's of any use to anybody I'll leave here how everything was left in the end in my laptop.
Used:
wpa_passphrase foobarssid foobarpassword
to generate:
network={
ssid="foobarssid"
#psk="foobarspassword"
psk=f5d1c49e15e679bebe385c37648d4141bc5c9297796a8a185d7bc5ac62f954e3
I copy pasted that on my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf ,which had a line at the start which seems was a leftover from the time I tried before (when I tried using wpa_supplicant it failed and complained about it in the error msg).
After that I used
wpa_supplicant -B -iwlp3s0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
After that I used
dhcpcd -A wlp3s0
That failed because it said that there already was a dhcpcd process running, I killed it, tried again and it all went fine. Tried ping and kept answering "unknown host". Tried rebooting and that's when # ping google.com started to behave like it should. Tried browsing a bit and no problems whatsoever.
Thanks a lot for the help!

3G internet connection stopped working

I have an unlocked 3GS from Vodafone here in Australia, and in general the phone has worked ok, including internet access via 3G, EDGE, and GPRS. I travel internationally frequently, and I generally turn the 3G and Data Roaming settings off to avoid the ridiculous data roaming charges. On my last trip to the US, I turned off these settings, and when I returned to Australia a few weeks later, I turned them back on, and the phone would not connect to any network (voice or data). I took the phone to the Vodafone store today, and they reset the phone, and made a new SIM card for me. The phone will now connect to Vodafone' voice network, but it still will not connect to any data network. The tech at the store suggested I upgrade the software (I had been on 3.01), which I did today, and still no joy. I can connect to a voice network, but no data. I double-checked the network settings just to make sure nothing was turned off. WiFi works ok, FWIW.
Any ideas what would cause the cellular data capability to up and fail like that? Is there a hardware failure mode that would do that? I would think if the hardware failed, it wouldn't connect to a voice network either.

If no change with a new SIM card unless the new SIM card has a problem, and after resetting network settings on your iPhone, an iPhone reset, and restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, more than likely there is a hardware problem.

Why does my wifi connection stop working at times? both ipad and iphone

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.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem.

A magazine's app on my iPad has stopped working. When I open the Newsstand folder and click on the app, the screen dims briefly, then returns to the Newsstand folder. The other app in my Newsstand folder (Wall Street Journal) opens without any problem, and this magazine's app opens just fine on my wife's iPad.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it from the Apple store and that makes no difference. I have also done a hard reboot on my iPad with no result.
Any thoughts about what might be wrong?

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?

Hello.
Since Updating to 10.9.5 Safari and the App Store drop internet connection periodically while other apps Mailplane and Epic Browser continue to work ?
Never had this problem previously running a Macmini Server 2010 with the latest Mavericks Updates
Tried reinstalling over my existing OS and seemed ok until I once again updated to the latest security and Safari updates
Any ideas ?
Using ethernet but wireless acts same,
Cliff

I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

"Network service error" game apps that require internet connection working fine, internet signal strong. Safari working, but YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and App Store won't work?! Tried resetting network settings but problem persists?

Safari working fine, as are game apps that require internet connection.
I can not get AppStore, YouTube app, Facebook app or twitter app to load anything as 'network service error" comes up.
I have the latest update 7.2 and have tried resetting network settings, anyone else have this problem?! How do I fix it?

I did try that one. But for some reason it still does not help. The strange thing stays that I can acces Twitter and other Apps. But still nos Safari/App Store. Only when I am on Wi-Fi.

Does Leopard server work without an internet connection?

Topic says it all. What a noob question but it seems like it doesn't. I didn't have a network cable plugged to the modem during installation of the Standard Server configuration and it wouldn't continue without an internet connection. Once I plugged it in everything was fine... until my internet connection was out for several hours. None of the services worked during that time and nothing was working right at all.
Joshua.

Hi,
I guess here you may also ask what services the server will host. My experience since Tiger (and Leopard) is that most things involving OD and Kerberos works better (or works at all) if you have a +network with existing DNS+ set up correct before you set up the server. No need of an Internet connection thou.
Have newer tried to set up either Tiger or Leopard as OD master and the first DNS on the network, but I guess (read right: guess) that setting it up as Standalone first, activate DNS and promote to OD master may be the way to go.
But if it will be standalone file server - well. Should work fine with camelots configuration of network.
And why else have a server? If you only have one computer in your configuration? But that may be a totally different story...

How do I remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu?

So with three separate builds of WTP I've run the PowerShell command to remove Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps. With each build, it also removes the Start Menu. In the thread below, an MS Support person mentioned that that command was only for Windows
8.x and shouldn't be run on WTP. What? Then why is that command still available? And, why will it remove some Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps, but not others? Are they marked as System required? Why isn't the Start Menu marked as System required? You'd
think that the start menu would be pretty important.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/053f63bc-c174-44f1-8f6c-8ead1ad965fb/spartan-and-start-menu-on-10049?forum=WinPreview2014General
So, with the start menu being an XAML app, how do I safely remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu? I have no use for them and don't want them on my computer. Period. There has to be some command like the one we used
in Windows 8.x that will allow use to remove ALL Metro/Modern/Universal/Windows Apps without removing the Start Menu.
Don't give an answer like "just right-click and uninstall". That doesn't work for all of these things, and do you know how long it takes to do that for all of those silly things? Too long! That's also not practical for an Enterprise desktop. It's
also not practical to leave all of that junk on the desktop, so don't suggest that either.
Dan

The problem with PowerShell and all of those scripts is that those particular scripts require a lot of typing, or copy and paste, or having to figure out where all of those apps are stored and then insert their convoluted names into the script. For
me, scripting is like programming. I have no desire to be a programmer/developer.
I just want an option in Programs and Features to be able to turn these "features" off. We were able to do it in previous versions of Windows. If we didn't want Internet Games, we uncheck the box. If we don't want our users to be able to print
documents over the Internet, we uncheck the box. And so on down the line for any other "feature" we didn't want our enterprise users to have.
Or, we could turn those features off using the System Image Manager. Now we have to write some convoluted script with even more convoluted commands for even more convoluted names for things we don't want.
The easier script in Windows 8.x was just get-appxpackages -online | remove-appxpackages. That removed the majority of the apps for an individual user. The remove-appxprovisionedpackage command, with the convoluted name of the app, would remove them from
the hard drive - one app at a time, but that doesn't work in Windows 10.
So, they came up with a DISM command, but that doesn't work in Windows 10 either. I should say that with my limited developer skills I haven't found a way to make it work.
Again, I have no desire to be a developer/scripter. They are the same thing in my book. I'm a systems engineer. I do operating systems, not write applications.
Dan
So, I guess there is no real answer to this question.
