Can you prevent Apple TV from connecting to the internet?

Is there a way to prevent Apple TV from updating and connecting to the internet? My internet is metered and slow, and I just use the AtV to mirror my itunes and stream content from my computer. I do not need the AtV connecting to the internet to load previews, pictures of newest tv shows or even genius recommendations.

The main problem is that for protected content in iTunes AppleTV sometimes needs to get a playback authorisation across the internet.
I've never quite figured what triggers this but it's often when content is new and hasn't been played on the computer before.
I took AppleTV, iPad and MacMini on holiday where I had no internet access and created a LAN without internet.
It was impossible to Airplay protected content from the iPad but 90% of the protected content in itunes on teh Mac Mini would stream and play - some new kids shows I purchased and had not played before would not stream.
Don't suppose you can connect the computer direct to AppleTV via ethernet and see if that lets you stream and play without internet connectivity?
Alternatively can you seletively turn off your router at times to avoid AppleTv connecting - that usually makes it only display Computers (iTunes streaming locally) and Settings as teh other icons are generated dynamically depending on availability tested via Apple's servers.

  • Can you prevent Procurement Wizard from popping up when Procurement Documen

    Can you prevent Procurement Wizard from popping up when Procurement Document is checked on the Logistics tab?
    We would like to handle all Procurement Documents in a process separate from entry of the Sales Order. Is there a way to not have the Procurement Wizard pop up automatically when a Sales Order has Procurement Document checked and is then added?
    Alan

    Hi Alan,
    Please check Note No. :1524113. There is a change in working of Procurement Wizard as follows which is mentioned in the Note.
    In the "Customer" window of the procurement confirmation wizard, the "Include All Open Sales Orders" checkbox was added. If you select this checkbox, all open sales orders with unfulfilled purchase quantities for the selected business partners are displayed.
    If you do not select this checkbox, only those sales orders are displayed for which the "Procurement Document" option was checked or that use a drop-ship warehouse and have unfulfilled purchase quantities.
    Check in Demo if you do not tick the checkbox 'Procurement Document' and in the Procurement Confirmation wizard, use the 'Include All Open Sales Orders, whether the same helps.
    Kind Regards,

  • Getting Message: "Do you trust this content to connect to the internet? Yes or No" . How do I get rid of this?

    I have created a set of lessons in Captivate 5. Since the Adobe update of Flash Player to version 15 whenever we launch a new activity from the menu we are prompted by a popup which asks: 'Do you trust this content to connect to the internet? Yes or No'. None of the content requires an internet connection. Are others having this issue? How can we get rid of it?
    Thanks

    Most likely, you have a web plugin that depends on the Java runtime distributed by Apple, such as the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it. Otherwise, install Java.

  • Tutorials in SWF output format prompted "Do you trust this content to connect to the Internet?" when opening another SWF file

    Please help.
    I have a tutorial with in the output format of SWF and HTM. I have click boxes that On Success will open another tutorial (SWF file). When I click on the click box, I get prompted “Do you trust this content to connect to the Internet?” by the Adobe Flash Player. I can click “Yes” and continue, however I don’t want the user to get prompted for every click box with this action (there is one for every tutorial and navigation buttons to each tutorial). I also think that SCORM can't handle the prompt, because when I run the tutorial from the LMS the click boxes do not work at all.
    I have tried selecting “Always allow” in the Global Security Settings panel as per the instruction on this website: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I wanted to add on a question to this posting.... I believe Rod's instructions must be followed on a per-PC basis, correct? Is there any way to disable this globally when/after I publish the files rather than telling 1000 users across the globe that they have to change their security settings? I don't think so from the article (very thorough) but just hoping there's something I can do?!
    Thank you!

    The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
    Hope to get assistance here. Thanks

  • Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

    Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

    My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

  • My macbook pro, iphone, and ipad can not connect to the internet simultaneously. However my room mates computers that are not apple products are connected to the internet.

    Occasionally my macbook, iphone, and ipad would not be connected to the internet at the same time. However, when they can connect, all three are connected at the same time. It is not my internet because my room mates computers are connected to the internet the whole time without any problems. When I can't connect, I can still see the network name on th wifi network search. However, when I click connect, the only message that pops up is can not join network.

  • I can't get my TC to connect to the Internet

    I just bought a new time capsule to back up my macs, well I can't get it to connect to the internet to send out wireless internet signal. Both my networks appear, 1. "actiontec" which is my qwest gt701-wg wireless internet signal I am using right now. 2. Jordan's wifi network also appears which is obviously coming from the TC but it is sending no internet. I got the green light to turn on by hitting ignore on two problems that are keeping it from sending internet. It says it can't connect to the internet and I should cycle the router which I have tried and it also says my PPPoE password I believe is wrong which I have wrote on paper that I got from quest. HELP please

    +I tried the option to integrate the time capsule to join the existing wireless network using the bridge mode. But is it correct that I cannot use the ethernet port to connect devices with the internet?+
    When the Time Capsule is configured to "join a wireless network", the ethernet ports on the device are not enabled. In other words, when the Time Capsule is configured to "join a wireless network", it performs no routing functions at all. It is simply a wireless backup device.
    +Do I have to establish a WDS? How wold I do this??? OR is there another way to solve my problem.+
    Very few products from other manufacturers are compatible with Apple's WDS arrangement. I couldn't find any compatibility information regarding your router, so suspect that it is not compatible with the Time Capsule for this purpose.
    If you are able to do so, connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on your existing router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule and configure it to act as a bridge, (Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge mode)). This would enable the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule and even allow you to create another wireless network with the Time Capsule if you need that feature.
    If it's not possible to run the ethernet cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the AC wiring in your home to transmit the ethernet signal from your current router to the Time Capsule location.

  • Apple Express cannot connect to the internet

    Up until yesterday, my internet connection was a DSL modem connected to an Airport Extreme module. It worked fine.
    Yesterday I switched from DSL to CABLE. If I plug the cable coming from the new modem into my laptop (PowerBook G4 1Ghz) I get a connection to the internet. When I plug the CABLE into my Aiport EXPRESS (APE) module and plug it in, it just blinks yellow. My laptop does receive a signal from the APE, but does not receive the internet.
    After reading the discussion groups, I have tried unplugging APE pushing in the reset button and holding it it when I replug it. I allow it to blink 5 times before letting go. This results in a solid yellow light, followed by a brief solid green light, followed by the blinking yellow light.
    I have updated the APE software and I have gone through the steps of using the APE Steup Assistant. Still APE cannot establish a connection to the internet. When I go to Internet Connect and click on the Summary button it says “connected to apple network” “connected to internet via ethernet”. Yet, the yellow light continues to blink.
    The cable modem is also the modem for the telephone lines (Comcast). I unplugged the modem but it must have a battery back-up built in because it stays on.
    What is the problem here? Any suggestions?

  • Apple TV "not connected to the internet" when woken up

    Hi,
    So my Apple TV works fine... Except that every time I wake it up after a long time of being in standby or simply not in use, it tells me it's "not connected to the internet". This is really strange because it IS connected-- even when I wake it up to find that message, I can go on itunes in it, watch podcasts and youtube and basically do everything online. It also HAS downloaded TV shows automatically that I have passes for. Yet every morning when I start using it, I see that message. I usually only see it in the morning after it's not used all night... I don't think I've ever seen it during the day after it's not being used for only a few hours.
    What could this mean?

    I am also having this problem. It only started happening after I switched from a wired connection to my dsl router to a wireless connection. The message is not there every morning, only maybe 25% of the time. I leave my ATV on all the time, so it is not an issue with standby.
    In spite of the message everything works fine - movie trailers, youtube, etc, so it is a minor issue for me at the moment.
    I have yet to try buying and downloading a movie, I am wondering if it's overnight download could be interrupted by this problem...

  • Time capsule stopping me from connecting to the internet

    every time i turn my tc on it connects to the wireless network that i have in place and then i cant connect to the internet on my imac, i just want the capsule so i can backup my mac wirelessly. without having to turn it on and off

    Set it to bridge mode.. before you plug it in.
    In bridge it will act just as a second WAP and hard disk.
    Use the 5.6 utility since you have lion.

  • Can't get airport extreme to connect to the internet?

    My sister in law just purchased an airport extreme for her windows pc and when we connect the ethernet from the modem to the airport, the amber light flashes, indicating that it has no connection to the internet. We have rebooted both the airport and the modem, what do we do now?

    Download the setup manual for your AEB here:
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#airport
    Follow the setup instructions.
    Flashing light could also mean that a firmware upgrade is available for your AEB.
