How to install KDE without an internet connection

I have a fast internet connection at the office, but not at home.
1. What files do I need to copy so that I can burn a KDE CD?
2. What is the procedure to install KDE from my own CD?
Thank you.

Those commands don't need an internet connection.
Do this:
1) download ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686 … .db.tar.gz and ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/extra.db.tar.gz when you have internet
2) on your home pc (as root): cd /var/lib/pacman ; cd current ; rm -rf * ; tar xzf /path/to/current.db.tar.gz ; cd ../extra ; rm -rf * ; tar xzf /path/to/extra.db.tar.gz
3) pacman -Sp --noconfim kde > pkglist
4) take that file where you have internet and run wget -nv -i .../pkglist in an empty directory
5) when the download has finished take those files to your home pc, put them in /var/cache/pacman/pkg and run pacman -S kde

Is it possible to install Lion without an internet connection?

I have the Lion Thumb drive but it just pop's up a dialog box saying that it can't download the additional components. What additional components are there?
Surely this defeats the point of having an install drive if it still requires the internet to complete the install.
I have a Mac Pro at Work that only has a dial up connection, I thought the thumb drive was the answer but it seems I was wrong.
Switching the dial up on during installation gets past the first problem mentioned above but then it still doesn't work because the installer kicks you out after restarting in the Lion boot sequence because, you guessed it, No internet connection!
Any suggestions Apple? or anyone?

But clearly this is just not true as the installer requires a connection before it will even load anything. Is it possible they got the software installation wrong on the thumbdrive?
I have posted a bug report for what good it will do.
It is also a presumption that everybody has 3.4GB of download data spare for whenever they need to download. My mobile limit is 6GB. If I am on the raod and have trouble, I cannot download even twice. It's ok at home or for anybody with large amounts of download data, but still time consuming. I love having my install discs handy at all times, and even burning a Lion DVD really messes up my nice collection of OS Install Discs! (lol on that bit)
You need to make sure you are with a reliable IP server as well.

How to install Mavericks onto non-internet connected iMacs

I have a small network of imacs that I need to upgrade to Mavericks. I have mavericks installed on the admin computer. How do I get it onto all the other machines, which are not connected to the internet ?

Your best method is to make an installer disk onto an 8 GB USB disk. You need to have the Installer app downloaded from the App Store.
There are lots of web pages devoted to the instructions, but in essence, you need to run the following command:
sudo /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/Untitled --applicationpath /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app --nointeraction
The createinstallmedia command is inside the Mavericks installer app; the untitled volume is the USB disk.
You'll need to download the installer again if you've already run it, as installed Mavericks deletes the installer app. If you keep the app on an external disk, it wont get deleted, and will get updated if you download a newer version at a later date! You will of course have to change the filepaths in the command above if you move it.

Installing CC Without an Internet Connection

My company does not have direct internet access from our client machines.
When I download the CC suite and run the Create Cloud Packager, one of the first prompts that appears is to Sign In using my Adobe ID. After entering my credentials, the Creative Cloud Packager presumably attempts to connect and sign in via the internet. Because I have no such connection, the Packager presents a spinning square icon indefinitely. I've let it sit for a few hours with no sign of progress.
When purchasing CC, my company explicitly made this restriction known, and we acquired license/package that was specific to government organizations.
Nevertheless, I'm stuck.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Thank you, kglad.
I believe I misunderstood the nature of my problem, but maybe this can help someone in the future...
After talking with tech support, I found out that what I'm trying to do is wrangle a Creative Cloud "Enterprise" solution.
Through this "CC Enterprise", system administrators download a "Packaging" manager that can create multiple install configurations for distribution among the enterprise. So, in my case, someone in IT will need to perform the set-up and activation of my package and send it to me. Apparently, when setting up the package, the IT admin can set whether or not the target client machines are isolated. I won't need access to the internet to activate, get upgrades, etc., but that IT admin will...
Hope that helps somebody out there...

How to update SQLDeveloper without an internet connection?

Hi, everyone!
I've installed SQLDeveloper 1.1 on database servers at a site I work for. Now,
for security reasons we do not have any internet access from these database servers.
Which makes me wonder: In such a scenario (which probably is not too uncommon these
days), is there any way to update SQLDeveloper?
Obviously, the "Check for Updates..." button cannot be used in here. I'd be grateful
for any suggestions (and hope this will not be "yet another case of RTFM" :-)
Thanks in advance
Michael A. Istinger

Hi Michael,
Up to now, all updates were always made available inside the current download of the full version. So you could monitor the homepage (or check for updates on another machine) and install the new full package, migrating the settings when being asked.
If you do have another machine, I supose you could even just copy the updated jars (untested).
Maybe someone else has a better alternative.

How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

Can I install Adobe Photoshop in my laptop and access it without any Internet connection?

Can I install Adobe Photoshop in my laptop and access it without any Internet connection?

Perpetual versions you can and it possible to to activate them offline. Offline Activation
The Creative Cloud versions can be installed offline but you need an Internet connection to activate the installed applications, I also believe Adobe has recently made the Creative cloud desktop application an mandatory install. It need not be running at all times however it will be installed.

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased

I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.

Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

Windows APP without real internet connection stops working in time

Windows APP without real internet connection stops working in time
Hello all,
I am trying to get the following to work. We have an intranet page which users need to connect to, to operate some machines. This is done through an windows 8.1 Tablet with an assigned KIOSK mode app (Kios SP Browser).
This works great as the assigned app is the only thing the user can run and we don't have to really harden the device. One drawback in using the assigned apps is that it needs to be an New App (as Microsoft call it)
The app is installed on an reference machine which runs in workgroup mode (no domain connection is needed on the devices) and after the reference machine is installed it is imaged with the use of Acronis. After deployment the tablet has no connection to
internet and the intranet page is wireless put available to the tablets. As a side note, the tablet operates with local accounts and the app is installed using an corporate hotmail account we created just for this purpose.
I now deployed the image over 20 different tablet devices and this worked great until recently a few devices start to complain it needs to connect to the windows shop before the app can be started. As the devices don't have internet access this can't be
done and the tablet is rendered useless for the user.
How can i make the app available without internet connection ? and how can i be sure the app will continue to work over time without connection to the store ?

Thanks for the reply.
I can't unblock the internet connection as the wireless network doesn't have any internet connection what so ever. The main purpose is to be able to operate the machinery and nothing else, hence the kios app which is being used to show the intranet page
which connects than to the devices.
The problem is that after imaging the app works as expected but after a few days the app stops to work ...
I found the following website over site loading an app without the needed appx files. It shows an way to capture the files during installation from the windows store.
https://www.404techsupport.com/2014/06/installing-free-windows-8-modern-apps-without-the-windows-store/
It is a bit strange to have it this difficult to install apps without the needed store and i think that Microsoft should make this easier. I hope this works better and after a few days i will give the feedback how this handles..
If anyone knows of a better way .....

HT1657 Can a movie be watched on an airplane without a internet connection?

Can an Itunes movie be watched on an airplane without an internet connection? If so, how does it know when to start the 24 hour timer for the movie to be deleted?

In theory it should work, in reality many keep coming here stating it did not work. Things get a little muddled as location services and time-zones can cause all kinds of glitches when travelling at jet speeds.
