Can Apple TV work from home sharing if not connected to internet?

I have recently purchased Apple TV but where it has to be connected to the TV it cannot be detected by the Airport Wifi router that is placed on the property.
I can use my Macbook to connect to the internet, but can I some how use home sharing to my Apple Tv even if it is not connected to the internet?
If not, is there any other possible way to get Apple TV to work?

I would get a pair of mains powerline networking adapters to send ethernet from the router to the AppleTV across the mains.
Unfortunately AppleTv requires internet to briefly authorise protected content and won't work without it via Home Sharing.
A while since I tested unprotected content but I suspect that won;t work either as AppleTV needs internet to set the time.

TS2972 home sharing when not connected to internet

my old computer will not connect to the internet and it has all my songs on it. can i still do home sharing?

I do not believe you can based on Apple Technical Support article TS2972.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
In Section 4 under the Resolution, it states:
Home Sharing requires a home network with an active Internet connection. All the devices you want to use with Home Sharing need to be connected to your home network.

If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

HT4352 I have done all the above but when I turn on the TV & go to computer the movies it still saying that the home sharing is not connected.

I have follow all the settings for the home sharing but when I turn on the TV & go to computer then movies it still saying that the home sharing is not connected.

I have an external hard drive with a shared music folder, which I can access (from Home Sharing) and play music on my Windows computer. On my new Mac, I can see the drive in Home Sharing but not play any music. What's the solution?

I have an external network hard drive with a shared music folder (WD MyBookLive), which I can access from Home Sharing and play music on my Windows computers. On my new Mac, I can see the drive and the music in Home Sharing but the tracks will not play. All the other authorized computers in my home network show up in Home Sharing and I can play the content. What's the solution?

Mozilla just updated to Firefox 4 and disabled my F5 access. I can no longer work from home!

I'm trying to connect to my work network from home, but Firefox automatically updated to Firefox 4 on my home computer and disabled my F5 software which was what I was using to remotely login to my work computer. F5 Networks VPN client is standard stuff issued by my Federal Government job to allow me to work from home.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

I frequently get the message that "safari can't find the server" or "you ate not connected to internet" when I definitely am.

Why do I frequently get the messages that "Safari can't find the server" or "Your are not connected the the Internet" when I definitely am. This happens most frequently when I try to access the App. Store.

I'd try the following document with that one, debra:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

Sending mails from client where SAPSERVER not connected to internet.

Hi
gurus
How to send mails thru my sap client , which is connected to server located different place. with Server Name esmart03_ESM_00 and my client , ESM(800).
1.The server is not connected to Internet.
SCOT settings maintained is
Default Domain ESM800

SAP Connect   General
Node = SMTP
Description= mailserver
Mail Host = local host
port = 25
code page = 1100
checked Internet and * in Addrr
Default Domain = esmart
RZ10 Settings.
icm/server_port_2                           PROT=SMTP,PORT=25,host=smtp.googlemail.com,TIMEOUT=180
is/SMTP/virt_host_2                         *:25;
i had checked smicm for smtp port active, it is active as well as scif..
I appreciate for your answers where pts will be awarded..
i had gone thru sapnotes as well as help.sap.com..
regards
sriram venkat.

Hi,
Your config is IMHO wrong.
You need to set smtp.googlemail.com in the SCOT settings and to remove it from icm/server_port_2.
You also need connectivity between your SAP server and smtp.googlemail.com.
There are 99% chances out of 100, that you need to open firewalls rules and/or set proxy servers.
Check that with your network team.

Olivier

How can I access apps from home sharing library?

I can view my husband's music and video library, but I cannot view and access his apps. He has an old PC and the last version of Itunes. We are updating it now. What do I need to do to acces his iPhone apps?

Do you and your husband share one Apple ID for iTunes Store purchases. If not, that is a requirement for you to be able to access his purchases and vise versa.
If you do share one Apple ID then you have use that ID to enable Home Sharing on both computers. See my post in the thread I've link to below to learn how to enable Home Sharing.

HT204291 After updating software on my Apple TV home sharing will not work. Both Apple TV and iMac have home sharing on but when Computer is selected on Apple TV I just get a message saying "turn home sharing on". But it is. How can I solve this problem

I have just updated the software on my Apple TV since then home sharing will not work though I had not used it since installing iOS6 on my iPad 3. Home sharing is shown to be on on the Apple TV and on on my iMac. The Apple TV is connected to the router with an ethernet cable and all functions work correctly apart from my computer.
I have done the following.
Switched off the Apple TV and rebooted, did the same with iMac
Turned off home sharing then turned it on.
Checked that home sharing is on on both devices.
Selected Computer
Get a message telling me to turn home sharing on - IT IS!
Tried using airplay mirroring on the iPad but the airplay function is missing from iPad.
It is so annoying since before iOS6 and updating the Apple TV software everything worked perfectly. Any help would be very gratefully received.
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
Here's how to do it:
1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
Enjoy!

My Apple TV and IPad drop after x mintues from "Home Sharing". To restart it, I need to close iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, open it , then I can listen again X minutes (15-90 minutes) to my music via "Home Sharing". Any idea why? What worked for you?

I believe if you updated your Apple TV, you need iTunes 11 to make it work.

Why does my apple password work on EVERYTHING apart from home sharing where is gives an error code 5599!

why does my apple password work on EVERYTHING apart from home sharing where is gives an error code 5599!

Every time I try to set up icloud i get a message that my account is not verified and I will get an email about how to verify it. I never get the email. I have reset my password 4 times. My email address is good. My apple id works everywhere it should. For some reason my ipad will find my ipad but not my iphone, and my iphone will find my ipad. I cant change the setting on my iphone so the ipad can find it, because it is greyed out because icloud will not verify my email and password, and never sends me the email to verify it. Am I the only one with this problem?
