Does MBP need to be connected to internet at initial setup?

Will it cause trouble to set up the internet connection later?

You don't need to be connected for the initial setup. The registration can be sent later.

  • Why does compressor need to be connected to internet to work?

    I am using an 8 core macpro with 10.5.2 installed and final cut pro 6.0.3
    when I put a job in compressor and try to submit the job, compressor says it has an unknown time remaining , and nothing ever gets done. That is because I have blocked the out going connection to a couple of ports that my firewall was telling me compressor tried to connect to the internet when I submitted this job.
    If I do NOT allow compressor to connect to the internet, I can NOT use it.
    After I allow compressor to connect to these weird ports, only then can compressor work.
    DId compressor get infected with a virus or something? Why do I need an internet connection to use compressor?

    its since I updated to final cut 6.0.3
    This problem is not unique to just me, a search for "compressor unknown time remaining" in google shows alot of people with this issue
    http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en-us&q=compressorunknown+timeremaining&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8
    sadly, I have yet to find a solution other then it working on 6.0 and 6.02
    please do not say its user error when I have tried all the so called workarounds and none have work.
    it works when I let it connected to the ports it connects to, if I do not let it connect to the ports, it doesnt work

  • 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.

  • Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected via ethernet all the time?

    Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected to the router with an ethernet cable all the time?

    AirPort Setup....the configuration utility in Mountain Lion...will look at the connection and configure the Express accordingly.
    If you have an Ethernet cable connected during the setup, then you will need to leave the Ethernet cable connected after the setup.
    If you want the Express to connect using wireless only....then you must configure it using wireless only.

  • Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers

    Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers?

    I got an additional question bout this topic:
    is it possible to use both at the same time? in my case cable-connected speakers in the living-room and an Airplay-speaker in the bathroom and/or kitchen?
    so I select the Airport Express as Airplay-Output on my iPad and from there it's shared via cable AND wireless? this would solve the problem of being able to only select ONE Airplay-Output on my iPad at the same time...

  • Does PI need a direct connection to third party or can work with a proxy server based connection to third party?

    does PI need a direct connection to third party or can work with a proxy server based connection to third party?

    Hi,
    It basically includes 3 systems, one is our ECC sender system, middle one is PI box and third one is the receiver system. Data is successfully reaching to PI system from our sender system.Now we want to forward this to our third party system from PI box.
                                                                    I want to know that such sending of data requires direct connection to third party or it can be done by proxy server based connection to third party.If it is possible then what are the steps to do this?

  • Does TC need to be connected to the internet to backup to?

    I have a network of 3 airport extremes but I would like the TC to not be assessable by the network. Just wifi backups...

    TimeCapsule does not require an internet connection to backup computers which are joined to it's wireless network.

  • Ethernet? Does TC need to be connected to the internet?

    Not sure what the story is there. I just need TC as an external hard drive. Don't care about connecting it to the web. Do I have to connect it to my modem anyway via ethernet cable? Is that the only way my mac will see it wirelessly?
    Firewire is looking good right now, I've wasted 4 hours trying to set up TC and it's still not working. It did start backing up, then stopped half-way and never resumed. I think I will need to erase the TC disk and start again (if I find a way to do this). Looks like another piece of c@ap that just doesn't work.

    I have TC setup wirelessly on my network. I am using an Airport Extreme Base Station as my router and the TC for backup. The setup was straight forward as I did not use the manual method (tried it first and had problems). Once configured, everything worked well with the backups except that the TC keeps loosing its network connection. Only way to fix is to unplug/plug power cord.
    Hope Aple fixes this soon!!

  • Airport Extreme: Does it need to be connected to the internet to function?

    I'm dealing with some wireless connectivity issues and I'll post a new thread once about that once I confirm that the issue isn't originating with my ISP. But for now I want to know:
    *Should the AEBS still function to provide wireless connectivity between devices on my network if the cable-modem is unplugged?* For now when I unplug the cable modem, my wireless network disappears.
    Thanks for the help!

    I am having the same problem as well. It used to work as you would expect but clearly something has changed in one of the recent patches.

  • Does Pages NEED a network connection?

    I have chosen the option in Pages to not use iCloud, but every time I open Pages, the phone appears to be trying to access the network for some operation. Also, typing is slowed to a crawl, as if typing has to depend on network response time. What gives?

  • Unable to access internet on initial setup (Macbook)

    My internet service was activated yesterday and after following all the steps in the guidebook I was able to find my wireless network and enter in the password.  It is showing that I am connected with full service however I have absolutely no access to the internet.  I have called Verizon tech support three times and no one was able to really help me (one lady just kept telling me to plug and unplug the same cord).  They said they would have someone work on the problem from a remote location and give me a call when it was fixed however it has been almost five hours since then.  I was wondering if anyone else had problems when setting up to a Mac problem and if there is an easy solution (ie. maybe I need to change the settings on the Macbook?)

    I have been a Mac user with Verizon for a number of years. I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but have this recent experience: Verizon used to have a number for Mac tech support but when I called it last month I found it it discontinued. I had to use the regular number, and the tech said they now handle both Windows and Mac. That is not good; Windows people are not Mac people. I asked them to help me with the setting changed Verizon said are required for MacMail. The tech was in the Philippines. He obviously did not know the Mac settings as he had to refer to manuals and another person for assistance assisting me. We were on the phone a LONG time for something that should have taken 10 minutes. Unfortunately, I allowed screen-sharing; I would not do that again. The outcome: my main email account stopped sending and receiving and now won't accept the password; and my sub-account doesn't send from my new computer. Fortunately it still sends from my old laptop. My sub-account webmail works, but my main account doesn't. I didn't call their tech support again yet as I was in the middle of a job and couldn't risk losing email altogether. Now I have to deal with them again. I am going to look for a new ISP, preferably local where I hope to get the customer service I need.
