Do you need Internet to use Airplay between devices?

Hey,
Do you need the internet to use Airplay between devices and if so why? Am very confused why such a simple idea is complicated by having to have the internet?

Airplay should work without an internet connection. To check this out I unplugged my modem and Airplay worked fine on my iMac as well as my iPhone.

  • Trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV

    I'm running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I'm having trouble using AirPlay between iMac and AppleTV (2nd Gen).  It used to work fine, but for some reason it just stopped responding.  I can see my media on my iMac from AppleTV and I can see AppleTV from my iMac when attempting to use AirPlay.  However, when I try to pull or push media from my iMac to AppleTV it just stalls and never loads.  AirPlay works fine from my iPhone and iPad with AppleTV - it's limited to my iMac only. 
    I'm using a Netgear R7000 wireless router and a Netgear AC120 WiFi Extender and as such, I have 4 available wireless networks (2 from the router and 2 from the extender / 2 - 2.4 GHz and 2 - 5 GHz).  My internet access is great and my network performance is good across the board.  All of my software/firmware is up to date (iMac, AppleTV and router/extenders). I've tried all combinations (mixing/matching) all of my wireless networks between devices (iMac/AppleTV) - nothing makes a difference (again, AirPlay works fine between my mobile devises/AppleTV).  Netgear Genie has been making changes to my network settings as new firmware has been installed in both the router and extender.  I'm guessing there is something screwy going on with the network settings on the iMac, but I can't figure it out.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I'm glad you got it all working. Out of interest, how do you (or your son) connect to the internet now? Is it just a dial-up connection? If it is, I am sure you know that, even if you get the Apple TV to share the connection, the speed will seriously limit the use of many of the Apple TV's features.
    The Airport Extreme is a great router but you will need a DSL or cable modem as well as it won't connect to the internet without one. There are many great (and cheaper!) combined modem/routers available if your son wants to get a high-speed network up and running at lower cost. Any other computers, phones, games consoles etc that you may have in the house can then all connect easily.
    I hope that I have helped a little and I will look out for future posts in case I can help again.

  • Do you need Wifi to use the radio app on the IPad2

    Do you need Wifi to use the radio app on the IPad 2?

    The iPad doesn't have a radio receiver built in. The Radio app is playing radio stations that stream content on the Internet. So that's why you need either Wi-Fi or cellular.

    Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    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.

  • Do you need service to use iMessage on iPhone 4S?

    I've bought an iPhone 4S off a friend and it has a SIM card without service, so iMessage says "waiting for activation..."  So, you need service to use iMessage? I tried reinstalling iOS 6, nothing.

    Activating iMessage on an iPhone requires sending an SMS. If your phone has no service, I don't see how you'd be able to do that.

  • When you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

    when you rent a movie and downlaod it do you need internet to watch it

    In the interest of full disclosure, I can tell you that I have gotten inconsistent results from this. There have definitely been times when I have a fully downloaded iTunes rental and have gotten a message saying an Internet connection is required for authentication when trying to view it offline. Last week, however, I did the same and had no problem watching one without Internet. Perhaps they changed the policy recently, or else there is a bug somewhere in the system.
    Do note, however, that the following Apple support article states that an Internet connection is needed to authorize playback of movie rentals on the iPad:

  • Do you need internet to download a software update on itunes for ipod

    okay i've got a new ipod and im downloading iOS 6 on laptop and i know you need internet at the start but im leaving to go somewhere soon and planning to take laptop with me and still continuing the update im just wondering
    do you need internet through the whole process?

    You need an internet connection until the actual update starts. First the computer downloads the update file and then it verifies the files by contacting Apple. Then the update starts and an internet connection is no longer required.
    If you stop after downloading the update file, you will need an internet connection when you resume since iTunes has verify the file right before actually updating/restoring the iPod

  • Do I need internet access on my iOS devices to enroll with Profile Manager?

    Hi, I'm trying to configure Profile Manager on a closed network. The Mac Server does have Internet access, but the network for the iOS devices can only have communication with the server, but not to the internet because of company policies. Is there a way around to make it work or do I need internet access on the iOS devices as well?
    I've made the enrollment process in another network with internet access for every device and everything works well, but on the other network(no internet for iOS devices)  everything seems ok (from conection to the server, profile certifiacation and stuf) but the devices can't send or receive anything else, like pushed configurations and device info. Ports and everything is ok, I even read that they need to be on an open network so I know it all comes down to having internet access, but just wanted to ask if there's another way around?? Suggestions?
    Thanks!

    You can share internet connection with your XP-PC using a router(as I do with XP-old MAC's,connected via cable).You may look for more info at:

  • Hi there, can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac Mini? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? Thanks in advance, Grtz T.

    Hi there,
    Can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac mini i7 using an Apogee jam as an input for bass and a Behringer USB DAC with RCA audio output? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? I'm also suffering massive audio lag issues with the Apogee jam after waking the mini from sleepmode, wich pretty much renders it useless.
    Thanks in advance,
    Grtz T.

    I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
    With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
    The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
    You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
    The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

  • Do you need internet to air play because i dont got internet

    Yeah because i want to buy one but my internet limits me on 10Gb. I Just want to airplay with out the internet is it possible or do i need internet to airplay?

    It may depend what you want to use via Airplay - if any of this is protected iTunes Store content a brief internet connecrion is often required to authorise a file for playback.
