Is it possible to apple configurator without an internet connection

It won't allow us to assign ipads without an internet connection. Where we work our internet is locked down for security and ipads dont have internet access capabilities and we are not talking about 1 or 2 ipads, we are talking about 100.

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.

  • 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?

  • Apple TV without an internet connection

    I am trying to set up apple TV on an intranet that does not have an external internet connection.  I am having multiple problems, mainly with playing content on the Apple TV's from my iTunes account since it cannot verify the itunes account.  Any suggestions?  Is there a way to set up a common home sharing email or get Airplay to work without setting up homeshare?

    You still need a local network to be able to use airplay

  • 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.

  • How do I set up the Time Capsule without an internet connection

    How do I set up the Time Capsule as a wireless hard drive without an internet connection.   I am in a office situation in which I cannot access my work network.  I need to be able to share files on the Time Capsule over the wire connection.

    Are you using a v6 uitlity.. because it is a toy.. ??
    Get v5 utility and then you can hold down the option key and select the right mode.
    If you have lion, just install it.. For ML follow this.
    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.

  • Is there a way that I can control iTunes with the iPhone without any internet connections?

    First let me say that I am ready to throw this POS in the lake.  Is there a way that I can control iTunes with my iPhone without any internet connections?  On my houseboat I have a wifi router and want to connect my phone to my computer to control my music which plays from my computer through my stereo.  I can easily do it with my laptop without having to jump through any internet APPLE BS , but I dont want to have my laptop out on the deck. I just want to use the phone as a remote control.
    Remote wont do it because it keeps saying Im not connected to the internet, even though is is connected to my computer.  Same problem with JumiAmp.

    It should have an option to manage iTunes library without network connection, like Bluetooth or connect directly to the computer without a router or wi-fi, i live outsite of the city and i dont have the ability to control my iTunes librry from the iphone

  • Can you print from a iPad to an AirPrint printer without an Internet connection?

    Can you print from a iPad to an AirPrint printer without an Internet connection?

    General Jer-
    Maybe.
    If you can set up your AirPrint printer's WiFi to create an Ad Hoc Network, then your iPad can connect its WiFi directly to it and be able to print.
    I have the HP D110 AirPrint printer.  As I recall, it was set up in Ad Hoc Network mode out of the box.  I had to change the setting in order to update its firmware over the internet.  You probably should do that as well, to be sure it has the latest firmware.
    If you happen to have an old Apple AirPort WiFi base station, you can use its WiFi network for printing.  It does not require an internet connection to print.  Other brands may work as well, but some do not correctly handle the Bonjour data required by AirPrint.

  • Mirror iPad to AppleTV without an internet connection.

    We are giving my father in law an iPad for Christmas so he can have internet access at a remote rural lakehouse.
    I explained to the salesclerk at Best Buy that I heard you could mirror the iPad to a TV and asked how long of a cord could you get. He suggested that between the cost of the connector and the cost of just a 6' cord, that I'd be better off getting an Apple TV for $99 and streaming to it.
    Now I understand that it can't be done without a WiFi network, which he doesn't have. Does anyone know how to get around this issue?
    Can the iPad just stream directly to the Apple TV without internet and WiFi?  He will mostly just be surfing the net.
    Thanks, Jim

    You don't need internet connection, nor will you need an airport express for ONLY mirroring. The Apple TV itself creates a network if you JUST want your ipad connect to it and mirror everything on it. Only problem is,  you won't have internet access while your mirroring because your wi-fi on your ipad will be connected to the Apple Tv network, even if your ipad is 3G capable. So for instance, he could download a YouTube video on 3G, wait till it fully loads and play it on the HDTV via Apple Tv. YOu won't have acess to all the content on Apple Tv that requires internet connection.
    Bottom line, if he doesn't have internet access where he is, Airport express will NOT solve the internet while mirroring issue. To get that you need high speed cable internet set up with the Airport Express, then the Apple Tv can be shared on that.
    Good Luck. Best you visit an Apple store or call to get a precise advice.

  • Can you download movies into iTunes then watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch them in our RV that does have an internet connection always.

    Can you download movies into iTunes and watch them via airplay without an internet connection?  We want to be able to watch downloaded movies in our RV.

    If you want to watch on your iPad screen, you don't even need airplay.
    If you want to watch on a television screen, you need an AppleTV.
    In both cases...
    If the movies are purchased, there is no need for an Internet connection to the outside world.  If they're rented, you need an Internet connection for the first minute or so that Apple knows that you're watching the movie.  I do not know if a rented movie can be stopped and restarted without an Internet connection.

  • HT1390 Can you watch a rented movie without an internet connection?

    It is my hope to rent a movie today
    and watch it while on a flight tomorrow.
    Can I watch a rented movie without an internet connection?
    I.e: is it streamed or downloaded?
    Do I have to buy the movie in order to watch it without an internet connection?

    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.

  • Does Leopard server work without an internet connection?

    Topic says it all. What a noob question but it seems like it doesn't. I didn't have a network cable plugged to the modem during installation of the Standard Server configuration and it wouldn't continue without an internet connection. Once I plugged it in everything was fine... until my internet connection was out for several hours. None of the services worked during that time and nothing was working right at all.
    Joshua.

    Hi,
    I guess here you may also ask what services the server will host. My experience since Tiger (and Leopard) is that most things involving OD and Kerberos works better (or works at all) if you have a +network with existing DNS+ set up correct before you set up the server. No need of an Internet connection thou.
    Have newer tried to set up either Tiger or Leopard as OD master and the first DNS on the network, but I guess (read right: guess) that setting it up as Standalone first, activate DNS and promote to OD master may be the way to go.
    But if it will be standalone file server - well. Should work fine with camelots configuration of network.
    And why else have a server? If you only have one computer in your configuration? But that may be a totally different story...

  • I have purchased and downloaded some TV Shows through iTunes. How can I watch them on my iPad without an internet connection?

    I have purchased and downloaded some TV Shows through iTunes. How can I watch them on my iPad without an internet connection?

    Demo the same thing happened to me.  I purchased a seasons pass for Sons of Anarchy Season 6 and I've got the eposides on my IPad but Airplay won't allow me to watch the episodes without an internet connection or WiFi.  Is there anything else I can do so that I can watch these eposides without an internet or wifi connections?

  • Is there a way to use the preview in browser function without an Internet connection?

    This morning our cable modem was down and I was making some changes to a page in a Muse site I'm designing. I wanted to preview the changes in a browser, but when I clicked on the Preview button (or clicked on preview in browser), I received a notification that it was checking for an Internet connection and the preview page never completed. Is there a way to use the preview in browser function in Muse without an Internet connection?

    Thanks for getting back to me! When our cable modem went down, we were still connected to Airport Base Station, and perhaps it appeared to Muse that we did have an Internet connection. In any case, we have now received a new cable modem and our network is working again. As you suggested, I disconnected from the network and tried preview in Muse again, and now it seems to be working just fine. Perhaps it was just the circumstances of our network problem this morning. Good to know I can use the Muse Preview function off-line!

  • View iTunes movies on Apple TV, no active Internet connection.

    How can I view my iTunes movies on my Apple TV with no Internet connection? I have set up a local wireless network using an Airport Express that has my MacBook Air, time capsule and Apple TV all connected. I can view non iTunes movies fine. I have home sharing turned on and signed in to my iTunes account (both when connected to the Internet at my parents house.)
    The Apple TV prompts me to authorise my computer which I can't do as I've no Internet connection, the computer is already authorised, from previous time on the net.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Where are the movies from, are they iTunes movies.

  • 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.
