Do you have to have an internet connection for the device to work?

Must connect to the iTunes store to authorize account, every time I use it. So I have to be on the internet just to stream from my iTunes library, I can't just stream through my router? I know this seems silly, but we can't get broadband at my house. We use mobile mifi as our internet connection, which tends to fade in and out. We have a wireless router that we run our printers through, I had figured this would work fine since I thought the device only had to recieve a wireless signal from the router which it can. I can access all the content in my library fine, I just can't play it. It works fine through my mifi until the signal changes, but I don't want to use all my data just to stream through this device.

I understand that data is purchased from the carrier, my question was that there are many concerns that lead me to believe that there might be a problem with wifi and that I don't want to have to buy data from my carrier I prefer to use the wifi from my home computer.  Reviews are everywhere, I don't make this stuff up but I do my homework

  • What to do when you have internet connection but go to use an app, you get the Error message, 'An error occurred connecting to the server. Please make sure you have an internet connection' ?

    Yesterday, I downloaded the twoignite app. When I went to open the app to use, this error message appeared: An error occurred connecting to the server. Please make sure you have an internet connection. I checked my connection and found I had a solid connection. I have tried closing the app and reopening it; deleting the app and redownloading it (more than once); turning off my iphone and turning it back on. None of these things have worked. Thanks.

    Photoshop Elements Photoshop elements 12 keeps wanting me to register the product after installing but keeps telling me I have no internet connection or the clock is wrong, why does it keep asking me this? I have register online via the main webpage.

    Hi,
    You need to sign in when using Photoshop Elements 12 as it is the method of activation. If you sign out it deactivates that installation.
    If you are having problems, see if the following helps.
    Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later
    Good luck

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • Do you have to pay monthly for the wifi

    do you have to pay a monthly fee for the use of the wifi

    Wi-Fi is free, but if you want to be able to connect to the Internet, you will need service from an Internet Service Provider...for a monthly fee.

  • Apple TV, Do I have to have an internet connection to the PC or MAC to watch purchased tv shows on my Apple TV ?

    Yesterday my internet went down . I thought OK I will watch a couple shows while I wait.  When I brought up my apple TV it failled to start the show. The message came up that the PC needed to be authorized.  Well no internet no authorization and NO TV SHOW. I was ******.  Is there a way around this ? Is this normal behavior ?
    Once the internet provider restored service everything worked as normal.

    internet connection is not required to watch movie rentals. but you should be sure that the movie rental was fully downloaded. I suggest it would be better to rent on a computer, download on a computer and after this you can transfer the rental to iPad mini. For transferring movie rentals internet connect is required.
    Here are the steps described, how to transfer movie rentals from computer to iOS device: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1390

  • Can I use my IMac OS 10.4 (old) to set up a wifi router, such as Airport Base, so I can have a wifi connection for the iPhone I plan to buy?  My IMac is not wifi capable.

    Can I use my several-years-old IMac OS 10.4 to set up a wireless router, such as Aiport Base, so I can have wifi for the iPhone I plan to buy.  My IMac is not wife capable. 

    Yes, Airport Express Base Station connected to your Mac by ethernet will work as a bridge. Or you can connect the AE directly to your router/modem by ethernet if it's a non-wi-fi router and it will act as a relay for that.

  • Does the power cable from my 24" CinemaDisplay have to connected for the display to work.  I just had it repaired and now it seems to have to be plugged into the laptop  I dont remember it being like that before.

    Is the power cable from the display required to be plugged into my MBP for my display to work.  Recently had work done on the display (power supply replaced twice, glass replaced twice).  Also since I got it back from repair  my system goes to sleep sleeps even though I have it set not to.  Frustrated

    awesome, so you sound like you know what your going on about. im guessing its a Software fault tbh, because its like the phone is dead.. very upsetting..but with it not being the screen if they dont ask me to replace it and to send it off for repair what can i say as to a loan phone, mind a ease a little bit now i will just now wait for tommorrow to see what happens thank you

  • Is there a wayto set a passcode on one's ipad e mail alone or do you have set a passcode for the entire i pad

    is there a way to set a passcode on one's ipad e mail or do you have to lock the entire ipad?

    You cannot passcode lock the mail app with any feature of the iOS.. There is an app that will let you passcode mail but I have no idea how well it works. You can check it out.
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-locker-keep-your-mail/id449844544?mt=8
    If that doesn't work for you, then you have would have to passcode lock the iPad in order to prevent anyone from seeing your mail.
