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 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.

On iOS 6.0 how can I Airplay to AppleTV using router without internet connection.

Hello,
I do a lot of presentations. I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0. In the past on iOS 5 I used an iPad, AppleTV, router, and projector for presentations. Now when I connect the iOS iPad to the router it requires the router to be connected to the internet so the iPad can connect. Iam often presenting at places that do not have internet so this is an issue. Is there anyway around this? I have done some testing and it appears that the iPad has to authennticate to Apple everytime it wants to connect to the internet.

You cannot use your iPhone as a router without being connected to data.
That is essentially what I said above. When streaming local content you won't incur any data but you can't use the feature while in airplane mode.
However; you can use an airport express (2nd generation) as a router without being conected to the internet.
Yes, An Airport Express is a router, which is what I recommended initially as it is a much better solution, glad it's all worked out.

Access iCloud Drive files without internet connection? Backups?

So, if I want to put files in iCloud Drive, the process is simple, but the process MOVES the files out of my Documents folder to a hidden location in my local device's file system? (~/Library/Mobile Documents). I really can't access MY documents shared with iCloud any more unless I'm online? Plus, even if I can figure out how to see my documents in the Mobile Documents folder, they're now arranged by application, and not by the folder system I've set up over 20 years of use? Can I backup my files hosted on iCloud? Is iCloud Drive a serious cloud document host solution or just a trap for noobs?
MacBook Pro Retina Display; Yosemite (10.10)

Set the Finder Sidebar preferences so that the iCloud drive is included in the Favorites section of the Finder sidebar:
Then you can access the local copies via:

Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection?

I am using an ipad mini 2, second generation. I plugged it in to itunes and there was an update avaible for ios 8. Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection? Thank you

iTunes needs an internet connection to download the update if it has not already. Then it needs to verify the update with Apple servers prior to installation.
So in short, no, you do need at least some form of internet access to update.

Can Tour de Flex run without internet connection

Hi
I have installed TourDeFlex.air, but unfortunately it requires internet connection to browse the components.
Do you know if it is possible to run Tour de Flex without internet connection?

From an earlier post by Nicolas Mertens:
"here's what I got from Customer Services about this problem:
[Help] files are located in the following location:
C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_us/InDesign/6.0. Also
from that location, you can launch the file 'index.html' and this
should direct you to *the online help that you would access through
the program itself.*"
I found that the files are not at that location, but at C:/Program
Files/Common Files/Adobe/Help/en_GB/InDesign/6.0 (this is in Windows
Vista, by the way). "
Yours would presumably be at [the German equivalent of
..]/de-DE/InDesign6.0, or whatever your locale is (AT, CH...)

If I download Mountain Lion on my MBP , can I use the same installer file on a different computer and continue the installation without Internet connectivity?

Hi Folks,
I have just downloaded Mountain lion on my Macbook Pro(haven't installed it yet) . My question is, can I copy the same downloaded Mountain Lion from the Applications on to an external hard drive and use the same on a different computer? I am having problems with internet connectivity right now, it would be amazing if it can be installed on the iMac without internet connection.
So is that doable?
Thanks in advance

And the 2nd installation would not require internet connectivity? Except , of course during the set up and the configuration of iCloud and location based services, which I can skip at the time

How can i use Siri without Internet connectivity?

Siri doesn't work without Internet.
I was in a situation yesterday, when i was driving and have to call my Dad.
Due to the bad weather, data services were down and when i used Siri to call my Dad's number, its just said "Siri not available, please connect to Internet"
I can understand, that for Weather details, Web search etc, Internet is required, but at least Siri should handle in-phone features like "calling, Texting etc", without Internet connectivity.

Even though it seems like Siri should be able to handle things such as dialing a number or dictating a text, an internet connection is required for Siri to function. There is currently not a way to get Siri to do otherwise.

HT4095 Can I watch rented movies in my ipad 2 without internet connection. I will be travelling by air and highway. Ty

Can I watch rented movies in my ipad 2 without internet connection?

If you use iTunes to rent movies, then yes.
iTunes movies downloaded and stored directly to your iPad and if you don't start playing a movie, stay on your iPad for 30 days.
If you start to play a downloaded, rented movie on your iPad, then it will expire in 24 hours.
Other services, like Amazon, Netflix and Hulu need an Internet connection to stream their content.

Accessing Music without internet connection?

Will I be able to access my music without internet connection if all my music on my iPhone is coming from iCloud?

Do you know how to do that?
Also, I just purchased the additional 10GB (so now I have 15GB) for the iClound on my Phone. What exactly is that doing for me? I understand it must be usefull because I no longer am getting the pop up message telling me I am running out of space.
Thank you!

Can I use airplay(reflector) without internet connection ?

Can I use airplay(reflector) without internet connection ?

I don't see why you couldn't use AirPlay as a stand alone thing. Obviously you'll need wifi, but as for Internet I really don't know. Again, Internet shouldn't have any say but it might.
Test it out, unplug the cable to your modem. If it's a modem/wifi router then unplug the DSL cable or cable internet cable.

The core iso should be all you need, just boot off that to start the installation. It's been a while since I did an install, but somewhere along the way it gives you an option to install off the cd or do a net install. You just need to choose the cd installation.
That being said, all you'll have without internet will be what's on the cd, so you'll be left with a pretty minimal install. If you want to update and install additional software then you'll either need to get the computer temporarily connected, or download the packages on a different computer and transfer them.
I am looking to do something similar. I have the core system installed on an older laptop, but I cannot get the wireless working (it has no ethernet). I've tried downloading the libgl packagesfrom a mirror to a thumbdrive, but it's a dependency nightmare. Is there a better way to do this?
