Connect to Apple TV through iphone hotspot.

My inlaws have a property where they have no land line/Adsl. They use their hotspot to connect to the internet. I was going to try to set up ATV for them and wanted to know if the iphone hotspot would suffice. Or if I could connect the iphone to a router to use the internet from it on a network. I have tryed connection to my home network without internet and the ATV looses a lot of its functionality if it works at all.
Thanks

Realistically there's no harm in trying and just seeing how far you get.
The need for internet to play DRM protected matreial from a computer on teh LAN is a real annoyance - I tend to use a Mac Mini with HDMI out these days as it doesn't need that internet connection for pre-purchased material (it does for rentals to set the clock ticking).
I've used some convoluted methods to use Netflix at a holiday cottage without broadband (Mifi 3G device connected to a Macbook via USB, sharing the internet connection over wifi or ethernet (via mains networking powerline sockets)).

TS2756 since ios6 update I can no longer connect my ipad to my iphone hotspot

I updated both my iphone 4 and ipad 3 to ios6. Since then I can no longer connect my ipad to my iphone personal hotspot. I did the reset network on both devices. It did work for one session but then I could never get it to work again. Has anyone found a fix for this? Should I call my carrier?

Using a Laptop to connect to FTP via an iPhone hotspot

Hi guys,
When I try to connect to ftp in either Dreamweaver or FileZilla using my iphone hotspot I cannot connect.
I wonder if anyone knows (a) if this is possible and (b) how to go about it?
Many thanks
Jamie

Thank you for your reply,
I have attached a drawing of what I need to achieve. I have omitted the old ADSL links that are now obsolete. My concern is: Is it possible, and how can I configure, a VPN or any other method of encryption over an existing VLAN or VPN whilst keeping the existing networking configurations at each site. This is required to ensure that the IT department cannot access or view sensitive security data (e.g CCTV and access profiles) that is moving between the remote sites and Central Security. The other challenge is that the Cisco router will be installed in the remote sites one at a time over 3 months. During this time sites must be able to operate with or without the upgraded security depending upon what has been installed.

Yes, the junk filter is actually a (hidden) rule like any other that’s always evaluated last, and hence, is never applied to messages already moved to other mailboxes by any of your own rules.
If that’s not what you want, you can go to Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced, take note of how the junk filter rule is defined (you can make a screen shot of it), set up a custom rule that does exactly the same, and place it above the other rules.

Mysterious connections to Apple from "locationd" iPhone related service?

I use Little Snitch to monitor network activity on my computer. I've noticed that a service named "locationd" occasionally tries to connect to "iphone-wu.apple.com" at seemingly random times. Interestingly, these connections only seem to happen when my iPhone is not connected to my computer.
I'm running Snow Leopard on a 13" MBP. I have iTunes 9.0.2(25). I have an iPhone 3G and I have a MobleMe account that I pretty much only use for syncing my contact information (I don't use it for email).
I'm curious if anyone else has noticed this behavior and knows what it might be.

When you installed Snow Leopard, you agreed to send this data:
From the EULA:
"B. Location Data. Apple and its partners and licensees may provide certain services through the Apple Software that rely upon location information. To provide these services, where available, Apple and its partners, licensees and third party developers may transmit, collect, maintain, process and use your location data, including the real-time geographic location of your computer.

By using any location-based services provided by or through the Apple Software, you agree and consent to Apple's and its partners', licensees' and third party developers transmission, collection, maintenance, processing and use of your location data to provide such products and services. You may withdraw this consent at
any time by not using the location-based features or by disabling the Location Services setting in the Apple Software. The Location Services setting is found in Security preferences within System Preferences. Not using these features will not impact the non location-based functionality of the Apple Software. When using third party applications or services on your computer that use or provide location data, you are subject to and should review such third party's terms and privacy policy on use of location data by such third party applications or services."
Further, the EULA tells you how to disable this. No one is spying on anyone. If you want things like location services to work fast & accurate data like this is a necessary part of the equation.

OS 10.8.3 can't connect to Apple TV through Airport

I have an Apple TV, MacBook Pro, iPad, iPhone all on an Airport WiFi network. I can control the Airport or use the Airport for Airplay form both my iPhone and my iPad, but cannot from my MacBook Pro. So, this leads me to think there is a software issue between the MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.3 and my Airport WiFi network. My recollection is that I have not been able to communicate from the MacBook Pro to the Apple TV since I upgraded to Mountain Lion. As an interesting side note, I can access and play my iTunes library on the MacBook Pro from the Apple TV device. Is there a way to correct this configuration?

Here is info:
Airport Utility finds an Airport Extreme with 802.11n(fast ethernet)
Base Station Name: Home
IP Address: 10.0.1.1
Airport ID: 00:19:E3:FA:A8:32
This is not the IP address of the modem. Even though light is green on Base station the ATV doesn't make the wireless connection.

Macbook connected to Apple M8536 through AVI-DVI adaptor stopped working

have a macbook pro which was hooked to an Apple M8536 23 inch LCD Monitor (the acrylic one) and working fine. I was never able to turn the monitor on or off by its switch under the screen, instead I was just hooking it up live to the dvi port on my macbook pro. All was well until... it wasn't. I connect the cable now as I had before, but no image is displayed. When turning the on/off monitor buttons, it shows that is it on, but does not display an image. Any clues as to how to fix this issue and then, the correct method to connect/disconnect the computer to the monitor?
Thanks in advance.

Connecting WiFi Only iPad Through A Hotspot On Your 4G Phone?

Has anyone tried using a hotspot app on their 4G phone to connect their WiFi only iPad to the internet? If so, what were your experiences? What app did you use on your phone?
Thanks!

A wifi-only iPad doesn't have a sim-card slot, only the cellular models do. If they are available in your country then you could get a mifi device and use the sim-card in that and use that as a mobile hotspot for your iPad

TS1363 I have udated my OS to 6.1.3 and now I cannot connect to Apple via my Iphone 4

I am havng a problem connecting to Itunes via my mobile phone since I updated to OS 6.1.3 It states 'Cannot connect to Itunes store and there is just an OK button which when pressed just returns me to the main screen. Any suggestions on what has gone wrong and how I can rectify it..... very simple explanations please I am not a technical person... so step by step please.....

Problem has most likely nothing to do with update of the phone and assiciated with something blocking your connection to secure servers in Itunes.
Try to use that article

To add to what you see in there, I also found helpful to "reset all settings" and to switch date and time couple years in advance and then back.

Photosmart Plus B209a-m Won't connect to iPhone Hotspot

This is my first time to post. Hopefully, someone can help me. My friend is using a Verizon iPhone as a hotspot. He can connect 5 devices to the iPhone hotspot. When I attempted to connect his Photosmart Plus B209a-m to the hotspot, the laptop loses the wireless connection to the hotspot. The printer installation wizard gets to the point where it finds the SSID and I enter the security phrase. When the install process reaches about 40%, the his laptop loses the wireless connection.
The only way to reconnect the laptop to the iPhone is to disable the printer wireless radio or turn the printer off.
The hotspot uses WPA-PSK security. I noticed that when the wizard found the hotspot it showed WPA security not WPA-PSK.
Is there an update for the printer so that it can connect using WPA-PSK? I could not find one. Or is there something else that I need to do to make the printer connect to the iPhone hotspot.
I worked with Verizon support then with Apple support but since we can connect 2 laptops and a Smartphone to the hotspot, they say it is a printer issue.
Thanks.

Are you sure the hotspot uses WPA and not WPA2 (with or without the suffixes of PSK or AES is all the same)?
The printer will probably not connect to WPA2. Is there a way to change the iPhone encryption?
Actually, is there a way to remove the encryption altogether for testing purposes?
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Connecting Apple TV Through My iMac

Hi,
I would like to connect my Apple TV through my iMac rather than directly through my router. Either wired, WIFI or using Bluetooth?
Is it possible to share the internet connection via my iMac this way?
...jono...

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately not.

Do I need an internet connection for Apple TV?

Hey I want to buy an Apple TV but before I do, I need to know does it require an internet connection to work? Or can it work without one?
The advertisement or information Apple gives me seems like it doesn't need an internet connection, I'm under the impression that if I buy one all I need is to connect it to my television then connect wirelessly from my iPad to the Apple TV device. Then I can begin streaming content to my TV via the Apple TV product.
However I came across a thing telling me I needed an internet connection in order for it to work, but where our televisions are, either the wireless internet is weak to nothing, and is unreliable from that distance, I want to be able to simply connect and play but now it seems Apple is misleading me on the capability of Apple TV.
I want to stream YouTube from my iPad to Apple TV, putting my iPad in a stronger range area and connected to Apple TV stream it... Or more importantly play content I have already on my device i.e. Video podcasts like IGN's Daily Fix, and stream it directly through the Apple TV onto my TV.
Please list all relevant information and requirements and capability I would have with Apple TV? I'm no where near an Apple store so I'll have to buy online so I want to make sure the product will work like they say it's suppose to.

I have the same issue and couldn't find an answer either. The problem is that the Apple TV requires an internet connection if you want to AirPlay internet content from your iPhone to the Apple TV, e.g. if the Apple TV isn't connected to the internet somehow, then Netflix or Youtube won't AirPlay from the iPhone to the Apple TV. I don't have a "house" internet connection currently, and when I bought my iPhone I was assuming I just can use my unlimited data plan to watch Netflix movies on the iPhone and AirPlay it to the big screen. No luck here, yet!!!
You can use the iPhone Hotspot and connect the AppleTV to that Hotspot, but I have a 5GB limit and that will be depleted with 2 movies or so, so that doesn't work either. I also can use the Hotspot to connect to my MacAir, which works great and 5GB limit is not the issue if you don't use it for movies, online gaming etc. But you could run into issues if you have to download big files, like updating the OS etc. That is something you have to consider when you are cutting the home internet.
I tried to somehow have the Apple TV use the Hotspot internet connection to just have access to the internet but use the iPhone unlimited data plan to stream movies, but the problem is that Apple TV can only connect to 1 WiFi network at a time and while it is connected to the hotspot, you can't connect to another network for AirPlay your content. Also, the ethernet port on the Apple TV (if used) will be prioritized and then WiFi would be turned off, ruling out the possibility to use ethernet and WiFi simultaneously to have one connected to the network using AirPlay and one using the Hotspot internet access. I believe the real problem is that the Apple TV needs internet access (for verification purposes???) while using AirPlay, and if there is no internet access through the network you are using for AirPlay, it might not work, at least I couldn't find a solution for it yet.
I was reading that with iOS 8 there might be a new feature that uses Peer-to-Peer technology between iOS devices and Apple TV, that might enable that you can connect to Apple TV with Peer-to-Peer and also connect it with the iPhone Hotspot for internet access (I would assume that the data amount from just being connected to the internet would be minor if the streaming data comes from the data plan itself from the iPhone).
That said, I can still stream content from my iTunes library to Apple TV, which is stored on my computer and doesn't need to be downloaded or streamed (Not the content I have purchased. Some folks mentioned bought content still needs internet access). So you can use your content you already have on the computer by using your local network. I hope somebody can give a solution to that problem! I was hoping to never have to deal with cable or telephone companies ever again, just using my mobile carrier, but I might be out of luck!
P.S: I also tried to connect my MacAir with the iPhone hotspot and then share this internet connection from the MacAir with my Apple TV. Didn't work either :-(

How to connect my apple TV to an analogue ampli / hifi system

Hello, i have been looking for an answer to this question for quite some time.
I would like to stream my music on my hifi system using apple TV as an airport express.
I found out that this was possible by connecting the apple TV through the optical port to my hifi system.
My ampli has only analague RCA ports. Is there a way to link these two with a good quality? I found "Digital to analogue converter" on the web but will it work? which brand should i choose to get a good quality?
thank you very much

You can use the remote app on iPhone but that would require home sharing to be setup and both on the same network. If that's not the case you will need a new remote.
