Does apple tv need a phone connection?

How does the new apple tv communicate with netflix? Is there a need for a phone connection in the system?

you need an internet connection. Apple TV can connect to your network via ethernet or wirelessly.

HT201469 Does Apple Pay require an internet connection in time of purchase?

I'm curious Does Apple Pay require an internet connection in time of purchase?
For example if you are traveling outside of the country and you are in the roaming area and you need to pay with your phone in the store - what will happen if you don't have internet connection?

Thanks for the response Chris,
I'm leaning towards that direction myself... The last line of the log exerpt above is:
Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: http://123.456.789.0:8080/guides/framework_4.5.0.21746.swz
So it does seem it's trying to fall back to a local copy, which I know exists, but clearly can't be accessed from that machine. What doesn't make sense to me if this is the case, is that the user can browse to Workspace on that IP, login successfully, manually start a process, but then it's the guide that fails. So the connection between the browser and LC exists and is working, it's just this framework that wont fetch!
Anyway, still doing more testing on this - will keep you posted.
Thanks,
K.

Thank you AnaMusic, this is the first time I used Apple Support Community and can't believe it was so quick.

Does apple make a product to connect an iphone 4 to a car stereo

Does Apple make a product to connect the Iphone 4 to a car stereo?

I don't think Apple makes anything aside from the usual "aux" cables discussed above, but I've had good luck with a Motorola T505. It's a small device that you clip on your car's visor. It pairs to the iPhone via Bluetooth, then transmits the output to an open FM frequency that you tune in on your car stereo. So you can play music from your phone thru the car stereo, and it automatically pauses when you get an incoming call, you can carry on your phone conversation hands-free, then the music will resume once your call is completed. It's pretty neat.

Does Apple again lock this phone?

I live in India.Some days ago my younger brother purchased an i phone 4 (MC603B/A- 16GB Black) from one of his friend who lives in UK. His cellphone operatorwas Tmobile.Initially he said this phone is factory unlocked, later my brothercame to know through other friend that its not factory unlocked. Before sellercoming to India he unlocked this phone through Tmobile (by providing a fee totmobile and giving restore in itunes according to tmobile suggestion). Socurrently he doesnot face any problem using any local sim. Later on he came toknow that after returing to UK his friend claim to insurance that he losthis iphone in India and he already got a new one from insurance. My brother's friend cheated with him. Now my question is that, does apple again lock his phone if he update his current ios?
Pleaseadvise? you can also mail me to [email protected]

Your brother's friend has committed insurance fraud, and technically, the insurance company owns this phone. As to the phone being re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to, that won't happen, but you need to address the fact that this phone is now "stolen property".

Does AppleTV really need an internet connection

Just a quick question - does AppleTV really need an internet connection. I am really struggling with the same syncing problems that many people describe on these forums. AppleTV will show on my devices now and again, it tries to authorise with iTunes, syncs for a while and as long as it is connected and showing in the device list I can view any of my movies, TV programs or music on my AppleTV.
But for some unknown reason the Apple TV fails to sync properly, disappears from the devices list and then tells me that there is no content stored on my AppleTV. Very frustrating as you can imagine. Everything checks out - I have good signal strength, can browse the iTunes store and Youtube but the syncing just isn't working.
I have read about problems with the BT Home Hub that I am using for my wireless network and despite taking the recommend steps to open the relevant ports on the hub to allow my AppleTV and computers to talk to each other properly I encounter the same problems.
As a solution I was thinking that I could buy a wireless router and create a network that is separate from the network that I have for the internet and try syncing through that. I don't really want to spend money on a new router unless it is likely to solve the problem.
What do you think?

Thanks for all the comments guys.
Latest update: I decided to try it and have had some success. I acquired a basic Netgear wireless router and set it up in isolation from my BT Home Hub network. I used the basic settings wizard and let it do it's thing.
The AppleTV does show in my devices list however it does disappear randomly every now and again. Syncing has worked although for some reason I can only sync one item at a time - leaving me to have to repeatedly hit sync on iTunes, which is irritating but much less than not being able to sync anything at all. I have since dedicated my old iBook to the new network to act as my media machine.
Conclusion: I'm not sold on this as a solution but as I'm not bothered about accessing the internet through AppleTV it suits me for now. I just wish that I had not bothered with AppleTV and just got a MacMini. For all the hassle and the usability issues I would gladly have paid the extra £200 or whatever.
When it works the AppleTV is great but when it doesn't I just want to throw it out of the window.

You have to do it on the Apple TV itself while it's plugged into a TV so that you can see its screen.

Update your software
Select Settings > General > Update Software. Apple TV checks for an available update; if one is available, a download message should appear.

Do not disconnect your Apple TV during the update process. The Apple TV status light may flash slowly during the update and restart process. This is expected behavior.

Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ?

Does airport express need to be connected to Internet to use purely for AirPlay ? Or can I just attach to my stereo and have my Mac connect directly to it in the absence of a wireless network? Tks

you will have to configure the express to create a wireless network but you do not need a connection to the internet.

Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

When creating a connection key in cs5, does each user need a separate connection key?

I am setting up multiple users to access a site in contribute (cs5). Does each user need their own connection key or can 1 key be sent to multiple users?

Hi,
If all the users belong to the same role (like all users are Publishers or Writers), then, you can send a single connection key for all the users. But, if users belong to different roles, then, you will have to create connection keys for each role and then send it to the users.
Hope this helps.

Does apple tv need wifi

Hi I am considering buying an apple TV but i need to know first if you will need a wifi connection in order for to work with airplay or if it will work at all.

SJCCraig95 wrote:
will it need a connection even for airplay?
yes, airplay connections are made over your network
also can it be a network connection that was set up from my computer without the internet?
internet is not required, just a local network. both devices need to be connected to the network (iphone and appletv, and they need to be able to see each other).

Does Apple TV need Internet bandwidth even if the content is available on LAN?

Hi,
I was wondering whether Apple TV needs Internet connection just to verify user credentials or it actually uses bandwidth to stream media even if the videos are available locally on a storage device.
I am using an Apple TV 2nd Generation connected to a HD TV. I use Air Video Server to stream videos from a laptop connected to the same LAN.
Even though both devices are connected to a LAN I see usage of Internet bandwidth on my Telstra account.
can someone explain to me why ATV needs Internet to stream local videos?
Regards,
Kiran

I noticed the same problem with my ATV2. I have a laptop connected to a router at my cottage and it is not connected to the internet. As soon as i upgraded to 6.0 it took forever to stream movie that were in itunes. I tried both wirelessly and wired. I even bought a different brand of router and that made no difference. It worked fine before the update. When I brought the router home and connected it to the internet, it was instanteneous, but when disconnected it slowed to being unusable. I think that something changed in V 6.0 and it hasn't been corrected yet becuase I just updated to the latest version and it made no difference.

Does Apple TV require a monitor connection for boot up?

I'm trying to use ATV as an audio server only (no video) controlled via the Apple remote application on my iPhone for connection to a distributed audio system in my house. I have connected the ATV to a Plasma TV via HDMI for configuration and connection to my wireless network and everything has synchronized and is working properly. I then unplug the ATV and move it to a new location for distributed audio purposes only and the ATV is not connecting back to the network. I have no monitor located anywhere near the new connection point so I only have RCA audio capables attached between the ATV and my distributed audio system (Russound CAV 6.6) My question is this: Does ATV require a monitor be connected to complete the boot up process and connect back to the network?

yes multiple libraries (the file that has location of content) but a single centralized storage location for content... but i thought that's what you wanted in each zone? if not you could just have multiple accounts, enable iTunes sharing to the other accounts and then airTunes from those accounts to the appleTVs (if that works haven't tried it)... could only do audio this way since video iTunes sharing only works from computer to computer.
me and my wife have separate accounts on our G5 desktop. so we each can have our own playlists, podcast etc but as far as actual content... thats on one location that we can both access and we share that. music for both accounts is in a shared folder on an internal drive and movies are on an external drive that we both have access to as well. we have nothing in our iTunes folders except our podcasts that we subscribe to. this way there is no duplication of content. we also have a mac mini in a bedroom that has nothing on it... everything there (movies, music etc) is access via iTunes sharing from my or my wife's (usually mine... since all the movies are added on my account)... so in this way you do have centralized storage.. and you also have the flexibility of having different content if that's what you'd like. i think people have gotten into trouble when they've tried to use the same library and iTunes folder for multiple account and ended with corrupted library file..
