Do I need an internet connection to use my apple TV

I want to stream content from my computers to my Apple TV but I have no internet connection... is this possible?  (I will eventually get a connection but I am on a waiting list).

You do need an internet connection for certain things - getting the time from network on startup, authorising things for playback from iTunes, rentals (obviously).
AppleTV 2 will not play back protected iTunes store content without an authorisation check over the internet which is barmy as the computer will play them fine. You may be ok with non-protected music or files you've added yourself.
Sharing to Apple TV2 from iTunes uses something called Home Sharing needing your iTunes store credentials to be entered - again this may need an internet check initially so might stop all media sharing working until successfully ok'd.  You might be better waiting until you get an internet connection.

    Do you need a internet connection to use youtube?

    The only alternative would be to download the video from YouTube on your computer and then, presuming it's one of the h.264 videos (Flash videos will not work on an iPod touch), you could then probably load it onto your iPod and view it with the iPod needing to be connected to the Internet. But you still need an Internet connection for your computer.

  • Do I need an internet connection to use Adobe CC14

    Do I need an internet connection to use Adobe CC14?

    Hello,
    so sorry, this Adobe website didn't change into english language: Adobe Creative Cloud – Häufig gestellte Fragen >>>  Funktionsweise  >>>  Muss ich ständig online sein, um die Desktop-Applikationen der Creative Cloud nutzen zu können?
    Nein. Da alle Applikationen (wie Photoshop und Illustrator) lokal installiert werden, ist für die Nutzung keine permanente Verbindung zum Internet notwendig.
    Eine Internet-Verbindung ist für die Erstinstallation und Lizenzierung der Desktoptools notwendig. Mit einer gültigen Software-Lizenz können die Applikationen auch offline verwendet werden. Beachten Sie, dass die installierten CC-Applikationen Sie alle 30 Tage zur Validierung Ihrer Software-Lizenz auffordern werden.
    Mitglieder mit einem Jahres-Abo können die installierten CC-Applikationen bis zu 99 Tage lang offline nutzen. Mitglieder mit einem Monats-Abo können die installierten CC-Applikationen bis zu 30 Tage lang offline nutzen.
    What means something like:
    An internet connection is required for the initial installation and licensing of desktop tools. With a valid software license, the applications can also be used offline. Note that the CC installed applications you will call every 30 days to validate your software license. You can use the installed CC applications for up to 99 days offline.

  • Do I need continuous internet connection to use cc

    I frequently do not have an internet connection. Can I still use Photoshop and Lightroom when disconnected?

    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.

  • If I purchase photoshop download do I need an internet connection to use photoshop or just for download?

    I am thinking of purchasing photoshop and since it is only available now by download I would like to know if I just need an internet connection for download or would I need it for download and when I decide to use it?

    If you buy the subscription model, you would have to have an internet connection, namely for the software to contact the mother ship at least one every month to reactivate itself and to take advantage of all the automatic updates.
    If you buy the slightly older (but still sold by Adobe and its resellers), perpetual-license CS6, then you need the internet only for the initial download, and to update it periodically at your pleasure.

  • Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?, Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?, Do I need an internet connection to use the airport base station express?

    we have no wireless internet in my house and the only internet connection is a laptop aircard that does not give off signal. will the base station express work without an internet connection being fed to it?

    On the windows computer that is connected to the internet you will need to enable Internet Connection Sharing, see link below.  On the Airport you will need to turn Connection Sharing OFF as the Airport will not be handling NAT (network address translation) or be a DHCP Server as this will be handled by the computer with ICS.

    Any particular reason for not using the already built package in extra ?
    http://archlinux.org/packages/search/?q=madwifi
    You can get it from any mirrors, for example :
    ftp://ftp.belnet.be/packages/archlinux/ … pkg.tar.gz
    Btw, pacman has a feature which might be useful :
    pacman -Sp madwifi ~
    resolving dependencies... done.

    http://mir1.archlinuxfr.org/archlinux/extra/os/i686/madwifi-0.9.3.1-1.pkg.tar.gz
    madwifi depends on madwifi-utils, so you'll want to download this package too.

  • Do I have to have an active internet connection while using Audition

    Do I have to have an active internet connection while using Audition?  Sometimes I will want to take it on my laptop to places where I will be unable to get an internet connection.  Will the program still work in such cases?

    As long as you aren't using the Cloud for audio file storage, yes it will. I believe that it may occasionally need to "phone home" to check your credentials if you are using a CC version but only about once a month. It should warn you though I think but providing you have been using it at home in the days before you are away from the internet it should be OK.

  • 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 :-(

    Hi CarolynHayden,
    No. Your application are installed directly on your computer, so you won't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
    An Internet connection is required the first time you install and license your desktop apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license.
