Apple TV functions w/o internet

Can you view purchased movies on Apple TV w/o an Internet connection

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It may well be a crap shoot.
Purchased content on your computer can be streamed to the Apple TV, but sometimes (but apparently not always) it needs to phone home to verify your account before it will allow playback.

Apple programs will not recognize Internet connection after Tiger upgrade

In January, I posted the question below. I wanted to update it, but this site has archived it and will not allow responses. In the hope that I may help someone else, I am repeating my question, now that I have the answer.
===============================================
ORIGINAL PROBLEM
Last week, I upgraded from 10.3.9 to Tiger. Ever since then, I have had trouble using Apple's programs that require internet usage: Safari, iTunes, Software Update, etc. All of these programs think I am not connected to the Internet. But I am; I can use Netscape, Internet Explorer, and other non-Apple programs on the web.
Furthermore, it's not consistent. Sometimes Safari will recognize the connection. I'll be using Safari, looking up websites, when suddenly it will quit connecting, giving me the message, "Cannot connect to the server," no matter what server it is, even apple.com (so I have to use Netscape to access my .Mac and this Support screen).
How can I resolve this?
==============================================
The problem was that my Earthlink Access software was setting a proxy on my connection. Netscape & Firefox worked because they ignore any proxies; the Apple programs (plus Shiira and Internet Explorer) didn't connect because they use the proxies.
Why did it sometimes work? Well, if I first used Safari to go to a secure website of my bank, somehow that opened up the connection and then I could continue to use the Internet and Internet based programs like iTunes and widgets. However, if I tried to use an Internet-based program before going to the secure site, then it wouldn't work.
After months of phone calls and e-mails and sending data packets and all such stuff with Apple Care, they finally stumbled upon this answer: Uncheck the proxy box. And that did it. At first I had to uncheck it every time I started up the computer, but now it stays unchecked and I can use my Apple programs with no trouble.
I just wanted to share this with you in case you also had trouble with Internet connections after upgrading to Tiger, because I did see several other people had this same trouble.
Movable flat-screen iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 1.25Ghz processor, 256 MB memory (DDR SDRAM)

For the record, could you state each Proxy box you ended up unchecking please? I'll attempt to submit a user tip with credit to you for finding this solution.

Apple tv for browsing the internet?

can you use apple tv to browse the internet?

can you use apple tv to browse the internet?
No. The ATV does not have a web browser. There is a limited selection of podcasts and video from YouTube available from the menu, but that's about it.

Does Apple TV work without home internet on?

hello, can anybody confirm that i can stream to Apple TV box from my macbook without my home internet?. The reason i ask is that i have a mobile broadband internet which sometimes struggles in ways that a standard wireless router wouldn't.
If i can stream from my macbook to apple TV without the house internet at all ,that would be great. Obviously , if this possible i realise i could only stream content already on my mac library.

You don't need an internet connection to use home sharing (stream from iTunes library on MB). But you would need the wifi LAN in order for the two devices to communicate.

Help!!! I can not make or receive calls! other functions itself. Internet, sms, whatsapp work. I restored as new iphone from the phone and from itunes and still not working.

Sorry for my english i'm spanish

I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc). Any suggestions? What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

NONE of my apple software can connect to internet!

Can tata photon plus be used with apple i pad mini for internet access

can tata photon plus be used with apple i pad mini for internet access?

No, you will not be able to use a wired connection. If you have a iPad wifi, it can be used only with a wifi and if you have a iPad wifi+cellular, it can be used with both wifi and 2G/3G and 4G.

Apple Time Capsule Keeps Dropping Internet

My Apple Time Capsule keeps dropping internet or having extremely slow internet. If I run a speed test I am getting 90+mbs. What occurs is if I try to load a page, there will be a very long delay and sometimes the page will eventually load, other times it won't. When I try to stream something from youtube, If I can get to the page of the video, it won't have an issue. When I hard wire to my modem, I don't have an issue at all. Only hardwired through the router or using wireless through the router does this occur. The light on the router never has turned amber and the link light on my modem is constantly flashing. The only thing that will occur is that the Apple Airport utility keeps connecting and disconnecting from my modem.
I've reset the router and modem. I've restored the router to factory settings and reset up my network, all to no success.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thinking I'll replace the motorola with a Cisco DPC3010
You may find it is not much better..
I do think the problem is more on the Apple side..
If you are a tech.. let me suggest you make yourself up a 100 mbit (ie use only the two pairs) crossover cable..
If that does not work.. try reverse polarity..ie in the ethernet on one end swap + and - .. It is an issue that has cropped up before where ethernet is just wired wrongly.. and it doesn't fail completely but becomes unreliable.
BTW the hardware reliability of the new AC version apple routers.. is definitely on the bottom of the apple list.
I bought an AC TC and the first one had this WAN port issue from day one.. when I replaced it after a week (it died completely which was convenient).. the second one has been much better).
The modems I have heard that works well is the zoom or ubee..
Using another router doesn't need to be expensive.. you can still stick to the apple in bridge.. you only need a router that does routing..
And the TP-Link can be flashed to gargoyle.. a hugely superior firmware btw.. solid .. reliable and it will track usage and do a lot of stuff well beyond Apple's keen.

Does Apple allow functionality between Logic Pro and Airport Express

That's it... Does Apple allow functionality between Logic Pro and Airport Express.
If not, Why not. It seems like such a logical Apple type solution. I looked and find it difficult to believe nobody has asked the question...

Apple Applications cannot Access the Internet, Others can

I've owned my MacBook for about 1.5 years now and it's starting to have some stability issues. Daily hard-locks are becoming the norm. I suspect hard drive issues may be to blame. I have repaired permissions and verified and repaired the disk. That seemed to help for a little while, but this latest problem is throwing me for a loop...
Apple applications cannot access the Internet. Apple Mail (RSS, POP, ad IMAP), Safari, iTunes (PodCasts, iTunes Store), and Software Update all time out while trying to contact servers. Firefox, OpenVPN, command line SSH, ping, etc, all have no problems.
My next step is a reformat, but this week is a really inconvenient time for me to do a backup and restore and I'd love a quick-fix if there is one. Any suggestions?

Thanks. I just realized that is was serious user error. I forgot I had enabled Socks proxy in Internet connections a couple of days ago and that my Mac apps would still be using that while my other apps would not. Thanks!

Why does my Apple TV disconnect from the internet while Im watching Netflix? If I reboot my Apple TV, it seems to stay connected longer, but it still disconnnects me from my Wifi every 10 mins or so. I am not connected thru the eathernet cable.

If you try by Ethernet you can verify if the issue is with your WiFi network or if your appletv is defect as most users do not suffer as you do

HT1595 apple TV cannot connect to internet

apple TV won't connect to internet

I've had this problem for ages, which seems to have started with problematic download speeds and then resulted eventually with the inability of the ATV (2) to connect to the internet. Like you, we were able to connect to the wi-fi network in our home, and able to connect to the computer, but our ATV was not able to connect directly to internet services or internet products available through its connection with iTunes (eg: movie rentals on the computer). Every other wi-fi device in the house was connecting successfully, the ATV did not.
Prior to that time we'd been operating the device successfully for about 15 months.
Most web advice seems to suggest problems with static IP addresses, or blocked 80 and 443 ports. We've talked with Apple support, ISP support and Netgear support.
In the end, by adding together clues given by Apple and Netgear, we worked out that the recently updated software for ATV is no longer compatible with the software of our modem router.
By updating the modem router's firmware (which was a process in itself!) our ATV is back to full functionality.
You can update your modem or modem/router by going to the home page of its manufacturer (eg: Netgear). Model numbers and Serial Numbers are normally recorded on the bottom of the device, as is the address used to access the modem router manager, in which you can update your device.
Hope this is useful to others.
