Internet required to stream from my mac or iPhone?

For at least the next few days, I have no internet at home. Does this mean that I cannot stream video from my Mac or iPhone?

Using airplay or home sharing to stream content stored on your device does not require an internet connection, it is done over the local network. The only exception would be iTunes purchases, as they need to ping the server every so often for authorization purposes.

  • Hello, I've just purchased apple tv, 3rd gen, and I'm streaming from my mac book pro to my tv, and it keeps skipping slightly, i have reasonably good internet speed, approx 7-8 Gb.

    hi, my apple tv i have purchased which is 3rd gen, is skipping when i stream to my tv, I'm using the latest software on my mac book pro, which is approx 2 years old, my router is only a few months old, but i am using power line adapters, but i have no problem downloading or watching internet telly 4OD/YOUTUBE etc.
    is their anything i can do as i have only  bought the apple tv for mainly streaming from my mac.
    thanks

    If you are streaming from your Mac then your internet speed would be irrelevant. This is done over the local network, and that is where the issue lies.
    Reboot ATV and router
    Make sure router is up to date
    If Apple TV is connecting via wifi, connect with ethernet
    Go to istumbler.net to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise

  • I cannot sign in to my icloud account,nor itunes and neither can download any app, both from my Mac and iphone

    I cannot sign in to my icloud account,nor itunes and neither can download any app, both from my Mac and iphone. I cannot even sign in to my icloud account. Someone help me out plzzz

    It means you are already signed into the ID as a secondary account on your Mac.  Go to System Preferences>Internet Accounts.  If you see this iCloud listed on the left sidebar, click on it and confirm that it shows your iCloud ID.  If so, click the "-" sign below the account list to delete it.  Then you should be able to go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign in with the ID as your primary iCloud account without getting this error.

  • How can I get my mail app to sync from my mac to iPhone, I don't have the 'info' option in iTunes?

    How can i get my mail app to sync from my mac to iphone? i dont have the 'info' option in itunes!
    I have created files within the mail app and want them to be the same on my mac and iphone.

    You need a mail server that supports this then. Hotmail premium I believe does, but the free version does not. Gmail supports it, and any ISP that offers IMAP supports this capability. iCloud definitely supports it, so if you create a free iCloud email account and switch your primary email to it you would have this capability.

  • Minimum requirements to stream from and sync to?

    I am considering purchasing an AppleTV and was hoping to use my old 533MHz G4 PowerMac as the "host" for my media. I'm running Tiger Server on it with a wire connection to my AirPort Extreme (802.11n). I know the PowerMac itself can't play the HD video based on iTunes 9 requirements but I am hoping I can plug my 1TB drive into it and still stream from and sync back to it.
    Any thoughts on the possibility this will work?

    as long as you can get the latest and greatest iTunes running on it, it should work fine...
    Min Rec for iTunes..
    Macintosh Software
    Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or later; Mac OS X version 10.5 or later is required to play an iTunes LP or iTunes Extras
    QuickTime 7.6 or later
    Support for HE-AAC requires QuickTime 7.6.4 and Mac OS X version 10.5 or later
    Safari 4 or later
    200MB of available disk space

  • How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?

    I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
    The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
    The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
    I have an account on both machines.  I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
    When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
    My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
    What can I do to remedy this situation?  I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

    I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account.  I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
    Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
    Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
    First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
    Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.

  • TS3989 how can I share a photo stream from my mac? there's no check box in system preferences to turn it on

    I've been having trouble to share my photo stream with other from my mac. Once I selecte the photos and click share>photo stream, nothing else happens. The option for "new photo stream" does not appear, neither the field where you type in the email addresses from people you whant to share it with. I all ready checked in iphoto'11> system Pref.> photo stream and there's no "shared photo strem" check box to turn on or off... I also checked in my mac system pref to be sure that my icloud is enabled and it is.
    If I select photos and then go to my tool bar and press share. the option of photo stream is not available.
    I also can't accept any shared photo stream from other and view it in my iphoto. I can only access it via web.
    I DO can use my photo stream correctly and share it via my iphone. and every picture that I take uploads into my mac and every photo I import from cameras into my iphoto also uploads fine into my Ph stream. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I CAN'T SHARE THEM FROM MY MAC.....
    Please can someone help me?

    You turn on Photo Stream in iPhoto's Photo Stream preference pane:
    Check the box "Automatic Upload" to add every photo imported into the library to the Photo Stream.  Or leave it unchecked and manually add just selected photos to the stream by dragging them onto the Photo Stream heading in the left hand pane.

  • Is synching necessary - just streaming from the Mac?

    I have a music library which exceeds 1TB and over 200GB of pictures, but my first generation ATV has definitely much less storage space. My question: Can I stream content directly from my Mac, or am I really forced to download the fraction of content that I want to use to the ATV? If I can stream directly from my Mac, how does this work? I didn't find any setting in iTunes or the ATV settings menu. Thanks!

    Like said,
    Absolutely, but streaming photos wirelessly might be slow. If you can Ethernet it, you'll be laughing. Gigabit Ethernet and you'll be in stitches.
    So just how do you get 1TB of music ? that's about half a million dollars worth of CD's.
    And 200GB of photos ? Even with all the high resolution photos I've taken all over the world, I've only got about 40GB. Too many for iPhoto, and streaming.
