Can I use Apple TV on network without internet connection?

I'm helping someone who has an Apple TV (version1) and their router and internet connection is down. We need to use the AppleTV today to stream a video from her mac to the TV connected to the Apple TV for a presentation. Can we just hook up the Mac and the AppleTV to a switch via Ethernet (or connnect wirelessly to an AirPort Base station) and stream the video without being connected to the internet?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't just use a switch, but you can use a router or wifi access point without access to the internet, but you will need a DHCP server to give each device on the network an IP address.
You may also be able to connect the Mac and Apple TV directly with an ethernet cable, I've tested this with the Apple TV 1, but not with the Apple TV 2.

Can time capsule boost the wireless network without beeing connected with cabel, hence wirelessly?

Can time capsule boost the wireless network without beeing connected with cabel, hence wirelessly?

Yes, providing that the wireless network has been created by another Apple "n" router.
The "extend a wireless network" feature on the Time Capsule is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.

Do I need to be online to access my desktop apps?
No, the desktop applications in Creative Cloud, such as Photoshop and Illustrator, are installed directly on your computer, so you don’t need an ongoing Internet connection to use them.
An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your 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.
Annual members 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.

Can I use a airport express to get internet connection to a Mac Mini that doesn't have wireless by adding it to my existing wireless network?

I bought a first gen Mac Mini for our daughter and it doesn't have internal airport adapter and was wondering if I got a airport express can I plug it in my daughters room and use it as a local router and just use the eithernet connect from it. Or would a airport extreme work better for this job. I have a wireless cable modem that we connect to. I also have a second question I have a iMac G4 that picks up the wireless signal but will not connect to it does it have to be a Apple airport for it to work or should it be able to connect to any broadcasted signal. Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure I quite understand. Do you wish to use the AEX to provide a wireless connection for a device that has an Ethernet port but no wireless capability of its own? You wish to use it in place of a wireless card that isn't internally installed? If so, the answer is, "Yes." It will work as a wireless access point. But you must have an extant wireless network because the AEX won't have an Internet connection when used in this way.
If you have an existing wireless network with a wireless router connected to your cable/DSL model or your modem is a wireless router as well, then the AEX may connect to it in bridge mode. Note that AEXs don't always play nice with non-Apple routers. Some work; others don't.

Can i use my time capsule directly without internet

I just bought a new Time Capsule. Can I use it to back up my system directly through the Airport without going through the internet

I just bought a new Time Capsule. Can I use it to back up my system directly through the Airport without going through the internet
You can use ethernet to the TC if you use wireless for the internet so both work at the same time. Bob's info is correct.. you cannot run both devices in separate networks on the same wireless client.. at the same time.
The way you word the question perhaps you are thinking the backup is going via the internet.. no, it is only local network. The TC can be plugged into your local network and it will not use any of your internet bandwidth doing backups. That traffic is between the computer and TC only.
We can give you setup instructions for however you wish to set it up.

Can I set up a local network without being connected to internet?

Can I set up a local network with Airport without being connected to internet?

Yes. Your AirPort Express router, by default, will create an unsecured wireless network and does not need to be connected to the Internet to do so. Local clients can then connect to this wireless network and be able to "see" each other.

Can timecapsule be access as a HDD without internet connection?

I am currently stationed overseas with the military right now and i just got a 3TB Time Capsule set out to me. I've never owned a timecapsule before so i didnt know how to install or connect it. i do not have my own ISP out here nor do I have a modem to connect the time capsule to. at the present moment it is nothing more than and expensive paper weight. is there anyway I can connect the timecapsule to my laptop and use it as an external HDD to back up my movie files and pictures? My MacbookPro is running Leopard 10.X, cant remember which version exactly off the top of my head.

Not surprising that personal devices can't be hung off the military LAN, but that's fine. As we said, you do not need the Internet for your purposes here. If you have Time Machine working, that confirms that you are already using one of the right ports. I do not know of a way to use a Time Machine as a hard drive using anything other than Ethernet, and even then you have to use TCP/IP networking. But, that should work fine for your purposes. In other words, go into Airport Utility, Manual Setup, click Disks, click File Sharing, and Enable File Sharing.
After that, the TC should show up under Shared in the sidebar and you can mount it as a network hard drive, and copy any files to and from it. It won't work exactly like an external hard drive in that I don't think it can automount just by plugging it in, but once you connect to it, it will work a lot like an external hard drive. If you want to be secure about it, turn on Secure Shared Disks and shut off the Airport radio on the Time Capsule.
You will find that the operation of Time Capsule is separate from its operation as a network hard drive. They don't overlap. You can be using files off the TC server while Time Capsule is running a backup, and Time Capsule can mount its backup volume on its own.

Can wireless backup be on different network to internet connection?

Can you backup to a wireless backup (say a Time Capsule) but connect to a different wireless access point for the internet?

There is no filtering from the wireless into the wired LAN. Any wireless user can access any computer on the wired LAN. If you use file or printer sharing in your LAN the computer is accessible. Of course, if you have set a password on the shares it is not immediately possible to access the files. Network printers (a printer with an ethernet card) should be fully accessible. The major risk would be that the computers are open for virus/malware. If your guest has a bad virus on his computer exploiting some new Windows vulnerability, it is likely to spread freely in your network. Your firewalls on the computers are usually set up to trust the LAN IP network. Anti-virus needs some time to be up-to-date with the latest threats. Some threats are never covered by anti-virus.
Thus, bottom line: unless you really trust your guest not to do any harm and you think that they are reasonable about their computer's security I would not recommend to give them access to your LAN. Even if it is a Mac, often Mac users use Windows virtual machines to run some Windows-only application. Plus, even a Mac can be turned into a remote controlled bot which will only pose the platform for additional attacks against Windows computer. This may be unlikely but it happens.
If you want to be secure, either get a different router which allows VLAN separate of multiple SSIDs into different fully separated VLANs or get a second wireless router which you connect to your internet modem. From there you connect to your WRT with your private LAN. The WRT will protect the LAN from access from the outside just like it protects your LAN at the moment from access from the internet. Your guest can connect to the wireless router which is connected directly to the internet.

Create local wifi network on OS X without internet connection

Hi,
is there anyway to create a local wifi network without internet connection to play multiplayer games like call of duty on macbook pro ?

Is it safe to assume that you are connecting your MBP to a wireless router already?
If you are then all the other LAN machines should also connect to that same router even if internet access is turned off.
LAN parties are fun and they require the computers to have certain port setups for certain games.
It is possible, though I don't play COD (I'm a Battlefield man) and I can't help with the details of COD.
When my son has his friends over we use a wired hub setup and we make the laptop guys use the wired connection - it's more stable. I admit that we always use the internet. The last LAN party we had without the internet was a Battlefield 1942 setup with one computer hosting the local server (and that was years ago.)

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

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.

It is said that iphone A1387 is world phone. But what i got is a cdma phone without sim slot ? Is there any way it can be used on the GSM network,it is on IOS 6.1.3

It is said that iphone A1387 is world phone. But what i got is a cdma phone without sim slot ? Is there any way it can be used on the GSM network,it is on IOS 6.1.3

No, if it doesn't have a sim slot. However, the model number you posted is for a Verizon iPhone 4S. That model does have a sim slot, & if Verizon unlocks the sim slot, it can be used on GSM networks outside of the US.

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.
