Do you have to have Internet connection to connect iPhone to Apple TV over Bluetooth?

AppleTV does not connect to a phone via bluetooth.
It has wifi and ethernet networking only.

HT1918 I have changed my internet provider and so changed my apple ID and password to reflect this. However all the apps I purchased before refuse to accept this new password for updates but nor will it now accept the old one. Help

I have changed my internet provider and so changed my apple ID and password to reflect this change. Now all the apps I purchased and downloaded on my old ID will not update as it won't accept my new apple id or the old one. Help!

All the apps are "connected" with the AppleID which was used to purchase them and there is no way to update them with a new or different id.

I would like to connect both my iphone and ipod to my bluetooth headphones at the same time. Is there anything that I can buy to accomplish this

I am trying to connect both my ipod touch 5h gen and also my iphone 5c to my bluetooth headphones at the same time. I have been told because of the way the operating system works this is not possible. I used to be able to do this on my old non apple handset.
The reason I would like to do this is because when I am listening to my ipod and have my phone in my pocket it is not connected to bluetooth and I am missing important phone calls some of which are business calls.
Is there any type of device that i can get from apple to allow this to work.

The iOS implementation of the Bluetooth Protocol does not permit use of a Bluetooth device with more than one source at a time.

How to connect between th iphone 3 and ipad4 via Bluetooth ? (it does not work)

This is done in order to use the 3G via the iphone.

If your carrier doesn't support it then there probably isn't much that you can do about it (if you want to stay with your current carrier). You can get mifi devices (effectively a mobile 3G router) which you can use with iPads, laptops etc, and they also use a sim card so you could consider getting one of those - I haven't got or used one so I can't comment on how good they are, and I don't know whether you have to go for a subscription with them or whether they can be used on a 'pay as you go' basis if for example you wouldn't be using it that much.

Can I connect my TV to my Apple TV3 via bluetooth?

Trying to minimize the wires and was wondering if I can avoid having to connect the ATV directly to the TV.
To be honest, I dont even know if its possible to transmit video via BT?

no
Wireless
Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n)
Bluetooth support for Apple Wireless Keyboard (requires Apple TV software version 5.2 or later)
only keyboard works with bluetooth
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs/
and even if it did then I don't believe bluetooth has enough bandwidth for hd real time movie transfer
and even if it did then I don't believe there is a bluetooth profiles for that which would require the one to use the VDP profile which http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bluetooth_profiles#Video_Distribution_Profi le_.28VDP.29
rely on h263 codec

Sharing internet connection over bluetooth

i have 2 computers less than 10 metres apart, one of which is connected to the internet broadband. the solution for sharing the connection wirelessly with this particular setup is rather expensive.
i was wondering if it would be possible to share the internet connection on the computer that has it over bluetooth with the other computer.
i read an archived response suggesting that it was. can someone confirm?
just to be clear:
i hoping to have 2 computers bluetooth connected the second of which will be able to connect to the internet via the 1st computers connection.

While it is not explicitly supported by OS X, both machines can be configured to do this. For lots of reasons, I don't think that this is a good idea. Your Bluetooth link is so slow compared to either a wireless—or even much faster terrestrial—ethernet link, that it's not worth the effort to enable this service.
Save yourself a great deal of grief and disappointment, and get ahold of a relatively inexpensive ethernet gateway [wired or wireless] and set up a small local area network. You will be far more secure, and enjoy a far better level of performance than you would see if you attempted to create a Bluetooth LAN.
That said, here is a set of instructions for enabling internet sharing using Terminal commands. It's paraphrased from…
http://www.macgeekery.com/hacks/pppoverbluetooth
In the Bluetooth preference pane's sharing tab, make a new Serial Port Service and name it bt-ppp and make it an RS-232 device. If it's on, disable internet sharing in the Sharing prefpane. Then create the following script [shown below.]
The script starts pppd on the new Bluetooth serial device you've created, then sets up IP forwarding, NAT, and the like. The en0 can be replaced with en1 if your primary net connection is AirPort. You can change the IP listed to something appropriate for your network, as well. If you put it in the range of IPs you're already using for your home network, natd is smart enough to work as a router instead of a gateway. Run as root, but—for the love of all that is holy and just—use sudo instead of su.
This is the script you must run in terminal:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/tty.bt-ppp 115200 noauth local passive proxyarp asyncmap 0 silent persist :10.1.1.25 &
/usr/sbin/sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
/usr/sbin/natd -same_ports -use_sockets -log -deny_incoming -interface en0
/sbin/ipfw add divert natd ip from any to any via en0
If you are unfamiliar with issuing commands from the Terminal or are not familiar with what these unix commands mean, I would suggest that you proceed very cautiously, and do more research before attempting this.

I have spilt nail varnish remover on my iphone

What should i do?
Will it still work? I have switched it off for now.

None of us here can predict whether it will still work, but the likelihood of damage is high. All you can do is wait a couple of days for the remover to evaporate (as much as it will) and try your iPhone and hope. If damage has occured, then you will need to take or send your iPhone to Apple for out-of-warranty replacement (which will carry a cost, of course).
Good luck and regards.

I am in process of unlocking my iphone and need to restore my phone backed it up already but ituenes will not let me restore keeps telling me ituenes can not get on the internet no connection with is not true cause otherwise you would not have gotten this

I have contacted at&t and they did what was nessary to unlock my phone was told to backup my phone and did that so know I just need to restore my phone with ituens which ituenes will not let me do cause I get message can not connect to cause of no internet connection wich is not true cause other wise you would not have gotten this

Try restoring the iPhone to factory settings. If you are having difficult restoring, put the iPhone into Recovery Mode and see if that then works:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If not, or if a restore to factory settings does not fix the problem, then your iPhone may have a hardware problem. You can only get the iPhone serviced by Apple in Canada, so you will have to take the iPhone there or send it to someone you know in Canada who can get the iPhone serviced and send it back to you. The only option for getting service in Pakistan would be to pay some unauthorized repair shop to attempt a repair, after which Apple will no longer provide any service even in Canada.

HT1657 Once you download a movie do you have to have internet connection to view it?

Once your rent a movie and it downloads do you have to have internet connection to view it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

How can you listen to music when you don't have an Internet or cellular connection?

Is it possible to access your library and Match?

Yes, just not all of it.
As you play music from the cloud, it gets saved to your device so the next time you play it, you don't need to be connected to the internet. That's why there's a setting to "show all music" - if you turn that off, you'll just see the songs that you have with you already, and can play without internet access.
You can also choose to download songs, albums or entire playlists, and those will be available later when you don't have a connection.

TS3297 Error message: 'Cant connect to the itunes store. An unknown error occured (-3212) please check you have an active internet connection and try again'. Help !

Can someone help me please ? I was using itunes (downloading albums etc) just half an hour ago. I had a pop up asking me if i'd like to download the latest version of itunes, which i accepted. When the update had finshed downloading, i then restarted my computer, as i usually would. Tried to re access the itunes store, and received the following error message: 'Cant connect to the itunes store. An unknown error occurred (-3212) please check you have an active internet connection and try again.
Needless to say, i have an active internet connection and cant see any reason why this would be happening, it has never happened before ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have to have an internet connection to watch a rented movie from itunes?

I rented a movie from itunes and tried to watch in on a plane. But a message came up that itunes could not connect to the internet. I did not realize you had to have an internet connection to watch a rented movie. Is this correct?

I have experienced this on several occassions and after being unable to watch three of the six movies I rented from iTunes on the return leg of a six hour flight, I finally decided to explore a little more to determine how to "fix" this. I have yet to find a definitive answer but at this point I am 100% certain that you "need" an internet connection to watch a movie. If you have ever downloaded movies on your iPad and tried to BEGIN watching them in flight, imagine your frustration level when the "Content Not Authorized" message appears and you are SOL watching the back of the seat in front of you for six hours. On the initial leg of my West Coast trip, fearing this would happen, I started playing the three movies I might watch on the flight while in the terminal. This of course began the 24 hour countdown. I was rushed on the return leg and neglected to do this. Of course the three remaining movies could not be viewed because the "Content Not Authorized" message appeared. Upon landing however I was prompted to log into iCloud and sure enough the movies could be played.
While an internet connection is not required to view movies once they begin, there is clearly some form of authorization taking place and required before they can be played. If you wait until you are cruising along at 30,000 feet, you are SOL and heaven forbid you are on a New York to Seattle flight in the middle seat of a 737 with no in-seat entertainment. It makes for a very long 6.5 hours.
The abursdity of this is simply beyond my comprehension. Once you download and pay for the movie (transferred from PC), shouldn't the iPad somehow be intelligent enough to know when you started the movie using its own internal clock or something? Isn't the whole purpose of the iPad to enable me to screw off on a 6-hour flight watching movies and avoiding work? The apparent oversight here is simply impossible to understand given how frequently this must occur. Ten years from now every flight while be equipped with WiFi and this issue will be a thing of the past but what an incredible limitation of an amazing piece of technology. I would be willing to bet that if Jobs had ever been screwed out of $15 for three movies because "Content Not Authorized" appeared on his flight I wouldn't be posting this.

I want to share my internet connection with my iPhone via the usb cable. I have a Macbook pro. What do you think? Is this possible? And if yes, then how? Thanks!

If not why option available
Thanks!

What Carolyn says is correct. You can, however, share an Internet connection with your iPhone wirelessly by turning in Internet sharing (found in System Preferences > Sharing.) If your MacBook Pro is already using a wireless connection, you can just connect to the same wireless network it is using.
Best of luck.

Hi
I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.
If that doesn't help, try this support article > iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

I have an ipad 2 and when connected to my wifi at home it will not download and play you tube videos quickly. Do I need to upgrade my connenction speed? What is the optimal speed?

I have an ipad2. When connected to my wifi at home it will not download you tube videos for easy viewing. Do I need to upgrade my connection speed? Would 3 Mbps be enought or do I need to go to 6 Mbps. I mainly use my ipad to view emails, browse the internet and watch you tube videos.
thanks - Michelle

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
There are a number of factors in the 'speed' equation. Any or all of them can affect the 'observed' speed of your connection.
1. Are you in a neighborhood full of WiFi routers (and thus, lots of WiFi interference)? I can 'see' at least 22 other WiFi routers from my living room!
2. What is the maximum connect speed and band and bandwidth available from your wireless router. Is it 802.11n or the older 802.11a/b/g? 300Mbits or 150Mbits? 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz or both? Does your router measure (QoS) Quality of Service and can it change 'channels' automatically?
3. What is the observed strength of your wireless connection? Are you getting at least 80% signal when connected? Are there other people in your family also using significant bandwidth at the same time (Netflix, streaming video, streaming audio, game systems)
4. What is the "advertised" speed of your current ISP connection?
5. What is the measured throughput of your current setup. Go to speedtest.net or use the free speedtest.net app available in the App Store. Try several times, from different locations in your home, and at different times of day and night.
I have AT&T DSL advertised at 3Mbit/sec down and 512Kbit/sec up. My Speedtest.net measured throughput is about 2.4 Mbit/sec downstream and upstream is about 0.4Mbit/sec. I'm using a Motorola Netopia 2210-2 DSL modem. I have no problem viewing YouTube videos and other mobile video content on the iPad 2. I'm connected wirelessly to a D-Link DIR-655 Gigabit router rated at 150Mbps at 2.4Ghz (only) with 802.11 b/g/n enabled. The interior of my home is within a range of 30-50 feet from the router and no more than 1 wall. It is a single level concrete slab foundation of about 1500 sq. ft. with cathedral ceilings. I have successfully streamed ESPN3.com on my MacBook at the same time my son was streaming another ESPN3.com game on his MacBook Pro. I've streamed YouTube videos while my son was watching a NetFlix movie on his Wii game system. He's also successfully used Skype for extended 'teleconferences.' None of my devices are connected to HDMI on a large screen TV. 95% of the time, I can do iChat video without any signal breakup to my son (who is at a college with a Gigabit (1000Mbit) wired connection!). 5% of the time the connection drops. We haven't tried FaceTime (designed for mobile connections to be much less bandwidth-intensive, from what I understand) simply because we both have iChat on our computers.
So for me, a 3Mbit DSL connection is absolutely adequate, given all the other parameters mentioned. As the car manufacturers say, "Your mileage may vary."
