Does iTunes 10.5.1 require internet to work?
(Quick background - 24" iMac (Core 2 Duo, late 2006 model) running OS X 10.6.8+, but no internet connection at home). Last Sunday I had lugged it to a local WiFi to do updates and check the Mac App Store. Downloaded the Snow Leopard Security update, Safari update, iTunes 10.5.1 upgrade (think that was all), got what I needed done, took the behemoth home. iMac worked fine the next day, but I didn't use iTunes then.
Yesterday afternoon, I fired up iTunes (first use of iTunes 10.5.1 since the update), and when it starts up it opens the window, then gives me the spinning beachball ('Not Responding' shown when I check the Dock icon)... Force quit, removed iTunes and re-installed 10.4.x from a previously downloaded dmg file. Start up iTunes - it gives me a message that it cannot read the library file because it's from a newer version of iTunes. :-(
My question: Does iTunes 10.5.1 **require** that it have continuous/on-(iTunes')demand internet connection for it to function? If so, then until I get an internet provider at home (that doesn't require me to switch phone providers or cost me an excessive amount - as our cable company does), I will be staying with 10.4 iTunes until I move to where I can get affordable internet service.
So, does iTunes demand its way about having to have internet connection? Could be the downside of the much-touted iCloud and "sync/streaming to all your devices" promise. I certainly hope Apple will recognize (once again) that not everybody out there has affordable internet access/speedy connections.
Okay, when I get home I'll see about that (generally a good thing to do). But since I have gone back to iTunes 10.4.x, and (not being regularly connected to the internet), is there an advantage for me to upgrade to iT 10.5.x (until I get an internet connection at home)? The Security Updates I can see more reason for doing. What will I gain (now) from upgrading to iT 10.5.1, other than iCloud features? (My iPod Touch won't run iOS 5, by the way).
And (preferably with some detail) what do you suspect necessitates running the drive repair? I like to understand not only what to do, but some of the why(s).
Thank you for the information.

Why does Adobe Air Captive Runtime require Internet Access on Android?
I am developing a children's app on Adobe Air and just learned that the Internet permission is being forced by Adobe Air. The only comment I saw on these forums was from someone stating it was so the Adobe Air App can communicate to the Adobe Air package, which doesn't make much sense-- but even still, I am bundling the Adobe Air Runtime within the App itself.
This affects me because as a children's app, some of my customers (e.g. Parents) will see the requirement of an Internet connection as a bad sign, in that my app may be loading content from the internet, or collecting data about their child or device and sending it over the internet.
I think Adobe should be clear as to why their platform requires internet access. Thank you.I have the same problem. i have tired AIRSDK 3.1 & 3.4, my app can run normal without Captive-runtime mode in my nexus s, But keep getting the message "unfortunately, (myappname) has stopped" when packed with Captive-runtime.

Safari working fine, as are game apps that require internet connection.
I can not get AppStore, YouTube app, Facebook app or twitter app to load anything as 'network service error" comes up.
I have the latest update 7.2 and have tried resetting network settings, anyone else have this problem?! How do I fix it?I did try that one. But for some reason it still does not help. The strange thing stays that I can acces Twitter and other Apps. But still nos Safari/App Store. Only when I am on Wi-Fi.

I just bought an airport express but when trying to configure it my mac is not capable of detecting the devise. The airport is plugged right next to the modem and the wireless internet is running perfectly. does any one experience this before?
You don't mention what function you want the AirPort Express to accomplish.
If you are trying to configure it to "join" your existing wireless network, you need to know the exact type of security that your wireless network is using fo you can use that same information to provide the correct settings to the AirPort Express.
You may be getting a message that the settings have been stored successfully, but unfortunately the settings that you have provided to the Express are likely the wrong settings.
The only way that you really know if the settings that you entered were correct is if you get a green light 20-30 seconds after you click Update. If you don't get a green light on the Express, the settings that you provided were not the correct settings.
When you click Update, the Express will "disappear". This is normal. Up until the time that you click update, AirPort Utility is communicating to the Express on a wireless network with a name like Apple Network xxxxxxx. As soon as you click Update, the Express switches (or tries to switch) to another network, so of course it will disappear from the AirPort Utility window.
As soon as you click Update, close AirPort Utility. There is no reason to keep watching a window when the Express will never appear. -
Does iTunes 7 "Include CD Text" Burn Feature Work?
The CD player in my car will display the disc title and song name if it is encoded with CD Text information. It works well with Toast. I noticed that iTunes 7 has a Burn preference "Include CD Text" checkbox, but when I select it and burn a CD the info does not appear in the car.
Does anyone know what's up with this?I burnt a CD yesterday with iTunes 7 and the CD Text feature turned on. I tried the CD in my car, a 2005 Nissan Aramda, but nothing displayed. I know the CD player supports CD text so I wondered if iTunes didn't burn the CD correctly. I started trying the CD in all my CD and DVD players. On my Sony DVD player, the disc did display the disc title but not the track titles. However, I'm not sure that it would since it's a DVD player. That at least told me that iTunes wrote something on the disc. Then I read that if you insert the CD you burned back into your Mac and launch Toast, select Disc Information under the Recorder menu, you can see a listing of all the burned tracks and the CD text that was written on the disc. Sure enough, iTunes 7 had burned the disc title, track name and artist for each of the tracks.
Given that iTunes appears to burn CD Text correctly, the mystery is why my car doesn't recognise it. I'm also wondering about the two standards for CD text and if maybe the one iTunes supports isn't the same as the one my car supports. I'm hoping that maybe someone else can shed some light on that.
Thanks,

my ipad is connected to my wifi but the app store and itunes store never open, the internet never works and it is always loading but never working. I dont understand why as my computer works for my wifi and my brand new ipad should too.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
• Launch Settings app
• Tap on Wi-Fi
• Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
• In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I was trying to update my iOS to 7.1 but I can't, I have internet connection but if requires WiFi? before I can update my OS just using my phone internet but now I can't. Does OS 7.1 really require WiFi? Thanks!
The iPhone requires wi-fi to update if you try to update over the air, since the phone needs to reboot, thus disconnecting itself. You can update via iTunes and the computer, but you would not be able to tether to the phone for the internet connection, since the phone would disconnect. So, you can either update via wi-fi and the phone, or you can update with a computer that has an internet connection other than the phone.

I am not able to access the "Settings" on my iPad 3. I just get a gray screen for about 30 seconds and then the app shuts down. I am also unable to access the App store, iTunes, or any app requiring an internet connection. Any thoughts?
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes." -
why does iTunes keep giving me bogus error messages. "Your internet connection is not working, check your connection and try again." My internet is working fine. iTunes is not working and will not allow me to download tunes.
This my sound too simple, but I just kept clikning on the arrow next to the selected music and it finally "Kicked" in.

My wife is using a Macbook using OS X version 10.4.11. It is about 5 years old. Recently, all applications that require internet access (Safari, iTunes, iChat, Skype) are quitting and shutting down after only a few seconds of being open. We have tried restarting the Macbook, resetting Safari, emptying caches and cookies, and uninstalling third party add-ons with no luck. Other aplications like microsoft word, preview, and photo booth all work fine. It seems to be just the aplications needing internet. Any advice or a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Since you were able to create a new library indicates that your current library is damaged. So try the following: make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
2 - if #1 works you can go into the Accounts preference pane and add your Facebook account back and give it a try. Then close and reopen iPhoto.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
- add your Facebook account to the Accounts preference pane and test it with the new library.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory. -
This PC does not meet the minimum requirements for this version of iTunes
Trying to update my iTunes, the installer gives the error message:
"This PC does not meet the minimum requirements for this version of iTunes"
I have gone through the procedures listed in the support section, and have completely removed all Apple software, deleted the file folders etc etc.... still no joy.
This is most annoying as I've just received my brand new iPhone 6+ and I was trying to backup my old device to iTunes so I could restore it onto the new phone and get using it today. Hacked off big time :-\Well I've eventually managed a work-around. Ver. 11.5.1 was no good because it wasn't compatible with my iphone 5, next one wasn't compatible with my iphone 6+, eventually got 11.4 installed so I could back up my old iphone 5 to it, then restore that backup onto my iphone 6+, which then wasn't up to date with the current iOS so I had to do that before it would sync my apps.
What a ball ache.
If someone would kindly let me know when the latest iTunes works again I's appreciate it, until then I'll have to stick with what I've got.
I need to start again with my music collection, re-import everything and get it on my iphone, because I had to delete it all a few months ago when iOS updated because it didn't have enough storage space on the device! Somehow lost it all off my iTunes in the process!
TBH I've always found the Apple system hideously complicated and infuriating when it doesn't work properly. Instead of making it more and more complex it needs simplifying and making fool-proof so people don't have to go through all this BS just to use their **** phone! -
Does InDesign CS6 require internet access for volume license validation
Our purchasing team supplied me with a volume licnsed version of InDesign CS6 and it requires internet access to validate the license.We operate in a VDI environment without internet access.
If i try to use the AdobeApplicationManagerEnterpriseEdition tool to customize the app it will not recognise the serial key..? if i manually launch the Setup.exe it does..?
Thanks
garyYes , the internet access is required to use the Adobe software but we do understand in secure enviornment it is not possible.
Hence , you can create a deployment package using AAMEE on a internet enabled computer and then use the package to install the cs6 software on the computer without internet computer.
Make sure you use AAMEE 3.0 as it will only work with CS6.
