ICloud remote lock needs Internet connection?

If I receive a email saying I have remotely locked a stolen MacBook, does it mean that the MacBook has been connected to Internet?  If so why does it remain "disconnected" on find my iPhone?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you lock a device on Find my iPhone, you can't track it anymore. The device must be connected to Internet to be locked

    As long as they have been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch them in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online.

    in order to watch the dowloaded movied do I need internet connection for it?

    If you are purchasing the movie, then once the movie has completed downloading, an Internet connection will not longer be needed. That should apply to rentals as well, but people report from time to time that even after the rental has downloaded iTunes still asks to connect to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • HT1657 Once I download a rented movie do I need Internet connection to watch

    Once I download a rented movie on iTunes doi need Internet connection to watch it.

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
    For more information on movie rentals, you can visit:

    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

  • After downloading iTunes, it won't open stating need Internet connection. But already connected to Internet. Happened on 2 different computers. How can I resolve this?

    After downloading iTunes,it won't open stating need Internet connection. Have Internet connection but program apparently doesn't recognize it. How can I resolve. This happened on 2 different computers.

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • Connect 2 Computers remotely using different internet connections

    I want to connect 2 Mac, or PC and Mac remotely using different internet connections and my main purpose is to see the Desktop screen of one computer from another computer. Like my home computer I want to connect with my Job computer. Actually I have connected WebCam at my Home computer & I want to see the dektop of my home computer from Job computer.
    So, please let me know if you know any software for the solution.

    There are numerous implementations of VNC that will work cross platform between Windows and Macintosh. The built-in Macintosh remote desktop is based on VNC.

  • Do I need Internet Connection to install Mac OS X Snow Leopard?

    Hi,
    I am going to install new mac os x snow leopard, but I don't have any internet connection at the moment and waiting for broadband service providers to provide me broadband.
    I am just wondering that if I need internet connection to install this os or not?? should I wait for broadband connection or not??
    any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    *Some features require a compatible Internet service provider*
    ...which just means that you can't use Mail, for example, unless you've got internet service and an e-mail account. This has nothing to do with the installer.
    Wait until you have a broadband internet connection. One of the setup guides needs to connect in order to set your time zone.
    ...which is not strictly necessary, since you can easily set it manually.
    A more important issue is that, without an internet connection, the installer won't be able to check Apple's servers for an updated list of incompatible software. This is not strictly necessary, but it's a good idea.

  • Embedding (not linking) videos in keynote, Then exporting as Powerpoint (mostly PC users) so they can use from a jumpdrive without needing internet connection.  Instructions/tips on how to accomplish This?

    I'd love your advice/guidance!!  I need to embed (not link) videos in a Powerpoint doc so that anyone (mostly PC users)can open and use from a jumpdrive without needing internet connection. I was considering using keynote and exporting as a PPT.
    Or is there a way to do this in a newer version of Powerpoint? (i'd rather stick with keynote) what would that be the best option?
    Any Instructions/tips on how to accomplish this? Thank you in advance for taking the time!

  • Does Yosemite require iCloud for a functional internet connection?

    My family recently updated our Mac from OS X Mountain Lion to Yosemite. Ever since then, iCloud login request windows have popped up repeatedly, and our internet connection has slowed down very badly. We use a recent AirPort model for our network, and we never had any speed problems with it while using Mountain Lion. Do we need an Apple ID logged into iCloud to make our internet fast again? I personally own the Apple ID that our family uses to make iTunes purchases, but I don't want to use it for iCloud because I don't want my Messages and Photos synced to it. Is it just Yosemite in general? Or is it some other problem?

    Some people have experienced wifi issues with Yosemite.  It has nothing to do with iCloud.  Try the troubleshooting suggestions here: http://osxdaily.com/2014/11/19/os-x-10-10-1-wi-fi-connection-issue-troubleshooti ng/.  If those don't help, try posting your question over in the OS X Yosemite forum.

    Any particular reason for not using the already built package in extra ?
    http://archlinux.org/packages/search/?q=madwifi
    You can get it from any mirrors, for example :
    ftp://ftp.belnet.be/packages/archlinux/ … pkg.tar.gz
    Btw, pacman has a feature which might be useful :
    pacman -Sp madwifi ~

    http://mir1.archlinuxfr.org/archlinux/extra/os/i686/madwifi-0.9.3.1-1.pkg.tar.gz
    madwifi depends on madwifi-utils, so you'll want to download this package too.

  • Do you need Internet connection to listen to lectures?

    I downloaded an audio lecture from Itunes U and cannot listen to it if I'm not connected to the Internet. Is there a setting I am missing? If not anyone know an alternate way to get lectures as audio files. I listen while working outside and driving. 
    Thanks

    You should not need an active Internet connection once the content has been downloaded to your device. I have no problem accessing audio, video, iBooks or PDFs.
