Can you connect apple tv3 to itunes library without an internet connection?

               I have an Apple TV3 and i am trying to connect it to my iTunes library on my computer. I have setup an access wireless point. Its a TP-Link TD-W8958. I dont have an internet connection on this wireless network becuase I am not living in my own house at this time and dont have a phone line however the guy at the Apple dealer store said i should still be able to connect my computer to the Apple TV3.
When i go to Computer on the Apple TV it says turn on Home Sharing and asks for my Apple ID. It says it cannot connect to the store which makes sense becuase of no internet connection but surely there must be a way to still turn on home sharing and connect with my computer.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Mel

Homesharing needs to check home now and again to verify your account. Unfortunately you will need the Internet in order to be able to use your Apple TV in that way.

    Create new IDs for each by:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use that Id only for:
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the new one. Make sure that only that ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the new . Make sure that under You can be reached at only the new ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
    Continue to the one one common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores. That is what controls purchases.

  • Can you help with restoring my itunes library?

    I backed up my iTunes library to my external hard driver per the instructions on the website. I have now rebooted my computer to default settings, downloaded iTunes and I am trying to restore my library. The instructions are to hold the SHIFT key when opening iTunes, this gives me the option to "Choose a Library", when I browse for my iTunes folder which i have already copied back from my hard drive and select this and click Open, it just takes me through to the folders where the albums and songs are stored and then says there are no files which match the criteria and wont let me restore the library. I really dont want to have to add each album back to my library one by one. Can you help?

    Scan the drive for files of the form *.itl - you may have managed to backup the media without saving the library database. If you can find the .itl file then it should be possible to fix up the library, otherwise it will be possible to reimport the media (in one go - File > Add Folder to Library) and I can suggest some tools for restoring ratings & playlists from your iPod.

  • Share iTunes library without an Internet connection.

    Hi guys.
    I have an Apple Tv3 and want to be able to share my iTunes library on my network that DOESN'T have web access, just simply a router that both my iMac and my appletv are on. Is this possible? Iv googled it but can't find a definitive answer. At the moment it tells me to ensure home sharing is on, which it is, but my content isn't available.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks.

  • How can I remove songs from my itunes library without losing them...

    ... on my ipod. My hard drive is full and I was wondering if there was a way to only sync new music and delete old music from my library. Thanks.

    You simply have to change the update option of your iPod to "manually manage music and videos". You can get details here: Managing content manually on iPod
    One major word of caution. If you delete songs from your PC and have no back up other than the iPod you will risk losing them permanently if your iPod fails or you find you have to restore it to solve a problem. You should consider investing in an additional internal or external hard drive to store/back up your music. Alternatively at the very least back up songs you can't replace such as iTunes downloads to CD or DVD. Forum member Buegie has compiled a very extensive procedure for backing up your music which you'll find at this link: Backing up iTunes
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

  • Can you connect a pc to an iMac (to move iTunes library)?

    Can you connect a laptop (with an external hard disc attached already) to an iMac, and iMac recognizing both as "hard discs" so that I can move my iTunes library from the external harddisc to the iMac?

    Not on a Mac you don't. OS X doesn't use drive letters and doesn't require them.
    On the PC, go to the iTunes folder (I don't know where it is stored in Windows) and copy all the .itl and .itdb files to the iTunes folder on the external HDD. Connect the external to your Mac. Launch iTunes while holding down the Option key. In the dialog select "choose library" and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external. Select and click OK. This will set up iTunes on the new Mac just like it was on the PC. You'll need to have the external HDD connected and mounted before you launch iTunes so you can listen to the music.

  • How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

  • How can you transfer data from an ipod touch to the itunes library without having all your data deleted?

    I have a laptop and the hard drive had to be replaced because it WILL NOT work (This broken hard drive will be refered to as "HD1" from now on). So I had no choice but to have HD1 replaced with a better hard drive (the new one will be refered to as "HD2" from now on). I had HD1 for about 5 years, but what is stuck on HD1 is my itunes library will all of my music, like I said before HD1 will not work so I cannot retrieve any of my itunes data, or any data to be exact. But also, my data that was synced in HD1's itunes library is also on my ipod touch, which is still functional for the time being. HD2 has been installed and working perfectly and I installed itunes on it as well. If I synced my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library, all of my music on the ipod touch will get deleted. What I'm trying to do is have all of my music on my ipod touch transfered to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted.
    Key things to remember:
    -"HD1" is my broken hard drive
    -"HD2" is my new and awesome hard drive
    -I can't access HD1 at all because it doesn't work
    -I have an ipod touch with all of HD1's music on it
    -HD2 has an empty itunes library on it
    -I need a way to transfer all the data on my ipod touch to HD2's itunes library without having anything deleted
    Is there someone, anyone who can help me out with this?

    I think so when you sign in your itunes library with your apple id which you were using on HD1 the data will be transfered or simply use icloud.

  • HT1386 can you sync iphone music to itunes desktop? I am getting warned that the library will be erased?

    Can you re-load/sync the music library to a newly loaded/blank itunes? I am getting warned the library will be erased?

    The warning is correct, take it seriously.  If you have a new computer, you need to transfer the iPhone files to it from your old computer.  See these links:

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by this - do you mena connect to the Mac to access streaming media or perhaps you were wondering if the AppleTV can behave as a wireless extender to give network access to the PS3 - it can't.
    If you are looking for media server solutions there are several available that run on Mac, some free some commercial.
