Itunes without internet

my mother just got an ipod for christmas, but she does not have internet at home. She basically wants to use it to import all her cds and nothing else. so my question- Can i just burn a copy of itunes to a cd, have her install it, and then have her burn all her cds? This will work, right?

Well, yes. However, what she won't have access to without an internet connection is the Gracenote database. So, when she puts a CD in, all she'll see is Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. She'll have to type in all of the album information by hand. It's perfectly doable as those of us who started importing CDs before Gracenote was available can attest to. It's just a bit tedious.

    Other than for purchased movies/TV shows, yes. You will need the internet to homeshare protected content though.

  • Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection?

    I am using an ipad mini 2, second generation. I plugged it in to itunes and there was an update avaible for ios 8. Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection? Thank you

    iTunes needs an internet connection to download the update if it has not already. Then it needs to verify the update with Apple servers prior to installation.
    So in short, no, you do need at least some form of internet access to update.

    What do you want to watch it on?
    You need a computer (Mac or Windows) with iTunes, an AppleTV, an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad.

  • Airport Extreme streaming iTunes without Internet

    Hello. 
    I no longer have Internet access in my home. I do still have a MacBook Pro streaming 2TB of iTunes media through an AirPort Extreme to two AppleTV's, and 5 iPhones. Music, movies, and TV shows are slow to load since the loss of the introwebs. 
    I have read about switching to "Bridge Mode" in airport utility but am not sure what this would do other than possibly allow my iPhones to simultaneously connect to my network and have 3G access. 
    Any ideas on how to speed up the streaming of content?
    Your sage advice is greatly appreciated.

    Just so I understand correctly, are you saying since you no longer have Internet access, the overall streaming performance on your local wireless network has decreased? If so, Internet streaming and local network streaming are not directly related and, whether or not, you have Internet access should not matter.
    Without Internet access, the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) would not get a Public IP address, but it would have a Private IP address of 10.0.1.1 ... and it would still be providing wireless clients connected to it with Private IP addresses in the 10.0.1.2 - 10.0.1.200 range.
    Please compare your AEBSn's settings with the following to see if making any of the changes will help with your local network streaming performance:
    AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
    Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name: <enter a desired Network Name or SSID>
    Radio Mode: <unless you have non-"n" clients that you need your network to support, I would suggest setting this to "802.11n only (5 GHz) - 802.11n only (2.4 GHz)>
    Channel: Automatic
    Wireless Security: WPA2 Personal
    Internet > Internet Connection
    Connect Using: Ethernet
    Connection Sharing: Distribute a range of IP addresses
    Internet > TCP/IP
    Configure IPv4: Manually
    IP Address: 10.0.1.1
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router Address: 10.0.1.1
    DNS Server(s): <leave blank>
    Domain Name: <leave blank>
    Internet > DHCP
    DHCP Beginning Address: <leave default or change to a desired starting address>
    DHCP Ending Address: <leave default or change to a desired ending address>
    Advanced > Logging & Statistics
    Allow SNMP (unchecked)
    Your AEBSn will still report at least three errors: 1) Configuration of WAN, 2) SNMP over WAN, and 3) Double NAT. These can all be safely ignored (by disabling them in the AirPort Utility) to stop the AEBSn's status light from flashing amber in this configuration.

  • I have windows 8 and need to install itunes (without internet)

    I've got the set up.exe file through another computer (latest version downloaded) and have put on desktop of windows 8, but when i go to use the set up it say  "this app can't run on your PC" find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher" any clues?
    My main reason for wanting to put iTunes on the windows 8 computer is so i can use my iPhone 4 as a hotspot, I've seen that it won't work unless iTunes is installed....
    feel like I'm going around in circles!
    Any help would be amazing!

    That is not true.
    If you have the installer, iTunes will install without an active Internet connection.
    The OP must have the correct installer for the OS on the computer.
    The installer for Windows 8 64-bit can be found here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

  • Updating iTunes without Internet Connection

    I just got a new Nano and it didn't come with any disks or anything.
    When I plug it in it asks if I want to upgrade, then says that the iPod isn't compatible for such an update.
    If I choose not to upgrade it continues, looks as if the songs are going on but they actually don't.
    However, I can see via "Settings" on my iPod that the memory space has been taken up by "Other" but no songs are on it. Very strange??
    I can't update my iTunes because I don't have internet connection on my laptop. Is there some sort of disk I could get instead to update it to iTunes 9???
    Any help much appreciated!!

    Can I just download the .exe file to a flash drive and then use that to update my current iTunes.
    Yes, you can. Download the iTunes installer on any computer that has Internet access. Then copy that installer to any removable medium - flash drive, CD/DVD etc. You can then take the installer to your computer and use it to update your copy of iTunes.
    do I have to uninstall iTunes before I do that?
    No, you don't have to uninstall iTunes before updating (at least not unless something goes wrong).
    Note that there may be issues with an iPhone - registering, updating, etc. - if your computer doesn't have Internet access. I don't have an iPhone so I'm not sure.

  • Updating itunes without internet

    Mini ipod has been sent back twice, both letters I've written have been ignored.
    Been given another ipod, know I've gotta update itunes, done it before at work and didn't lose any songs, but the one I have at home hasn't got internet, does anyone know how I can update it? I've backed up my songs just incase they disappear too.
    Thanks

    hiya!
    hmmm. can you download a copy of the installer (get a copy of the ipod software installer too) to the work PC, burn copies to a CD-R and carry the installers back to the PC?
    (copy the installers to the hard drive of the home PC and run the installs from there rather than off the CD.)

  • Installing iTunes Without Internet

    I have a friend who recently got an old iPod mini. Unfortunately he doesn't have iTunes on his computer and he doesn't have an internet connection at home right now. Is there any way to burn him a copy of iTunes onto a cd and install it on his machine that way? Or something like that? I have no idea what version of Windows he's running right now, but I'm sure I can find out, if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Yes, you can burn a CD. You need to know what version WIndows, and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit.
    Win 95, 98, Me, & XP 64-bit have never been supported.
    Just curious, what your friend expects to put on the iPod. If they rip their own CDs, they are going to have to enter each track manually because itunes won't be able to connect to the Gracenote/CDDB database to get CD info.
    Entering each track will get tedious very quickly!
    If they already have music on the PC's hard drive, they can just add it to itunes and they will be good to go!

  • Is there a way to display movies purchased from itunes from my ipad to my apple TV without internet (still using wifi)

    I am going on vacation and will have a wifi network, but no internet access. I have tried to display downloaded movies from my ipad purchased on itunes to my apple TV, but get "Unknown Error -3". I can use mirroring, but not show the video. I am signed into the same account on both devices and the movie is downloaded to the ipad. The only issue I can think of is some DRM check, but I am not sure.
    Has anyone been able to do this? It would be nice to be able to use my purchased movies on vacation without needing internet.
    thanks for any help

    This was a big advantage of AppleTV1 - generally it did not need internet authorisation for synced material on its internal drive and was great for holiday/vacation.
    I tend to use a Mac Mini these days when going away.

  • Installing itunes on a computer without internet

    Is there a way that someone can put itunes on a computer without downloading it straight from the internet? Can they download it on another computer and save it to a disk or something then set it up on the other computer without internet?

    Can they download it on another computer and save it to a disk or something then set it up on the other computer without internet?
    Yes you can. when you download, choose Save rather than run. Then copy the installer file (either an iTunesSetup.exe or an iTunes64setup.exe) to your portable media and carry it to the other PC.
    The primary issues on iTunes for Windows are making sure you get the 32-bit or the 64-bit installer. Usually the iTunes for Windows download page automatically detects which kind of operating system the downloading-computer has ... but if you're trying to download (say) a 64-bit iTunes64setup.exe installer file on a 32-bit PC, that can be a disadvantage.
    Here's a link to a page with a direct download for a 64-bit iTunes64Setup.exe installer file (in case you need to get a 64-bit on a 32-bit PC):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL925
    To download a 32-bit on a 64-bit PC go to the standard page and get the option that doesn't mention 64-bit (you'll know you've gotten the 32-bit one if the file is called iTunesSetup.exe).

  • Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

    Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

    As long as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch it in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online - is that how you are trying to view it ?

  • How do I run iTunes without my external hard drive?

    Hi,
    I have uploaded all my music to iCloud so am under the impression I do not need my local files which are all stored on a 4TB (not fun to move around) G-Tech drive.
    I cannot run iTunes without the hard drive plugged in, if anybody knows a way for me to play my music through iCloud on just my internet-connected laptop that would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Michael.

    Change where iTunes thinks your library is by opening iTunes with the option key selected and create a blank 'iTunes library' on your internal drive.

  • HOW TO: Install Itunes without Quicktime/Bonjour - Windows 7

    You need iTunes without the bloat? Don't know what the bloat is? I'll help you. Now I don't know if this has been explained elsewhere, I only found some older topics and google results that didn't explain all the points required so I'm redoing it.
    _NOTE: DO THIS ON THE DESKTOP_ (You'll see why later ;D)
    First is the Preperation;
    Get the appropriate iTunes (my instructions are from the point of view of 64bit but they won't differ all that much)
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Go here and download the newest one (at time of writing thats QT Lite 4.1.0):
    http://www.vistacodec.com/fc/QT_Lite-410.exe
    Please download/move/save these to the desktop.
    The Extraction
    Right click on the iTunes64Setup.exe [iTunesSetup.exe for 32bit]
    Navigate to your extraction program, I'm using 7zip so I navigate to "Extract Here". I'm sure you can go it alone if you don't use 7zip (because more fool you)
    Then we will have a bunch of exe's and msi's on the desktop, of which we now need to delete several.
    This is the Deletion;
    If you don't want both Quicktime and Bonjour, which I'll assume you don't because they impact performance and limit your control of media files, then you need to delete:
    Bonjour64.msi
    Quicktime64.msi
    If you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch then skip this one point (though I have an iPod Touch I don't yet intend to use it with iTunes so I still deleted this, after all you can install it later from this single file). Delete:
    AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi
    Now this is an important one, all updates must be done manually in this exact same manner, just come back here and follow the instructions again, otherwise iTunes will include the bloat in the update. Delete:
    AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi
    (Ignore SetupAdmin.exe, because I don't know what it does :D)
    Almost there, but first it's the +Linux Experience+;
    In you're start menu there should be a "Command Prompt" shortcut, click it. If not don't worry, on your start menu click "Run" and type in:
    cmd.exe
    Press enter and Bob's your uncle.
    Otherwise right click on your desktop in empty space, highlight "New", select "Shortcut" and the location is:
    %windir%\system32\cmd.exe
    When that's done just click the shortcut and Fanny's your aunt.
    Now you'll notice that each line begins with:
    C:\Users\YOURNAME>
    That's because it's the location this terminal is currently navigated to, like a web browser or the plain old windows explorer, just text based though.
    We need to change the directory you are in and the command for this conveniently is:
    cd
    And this is why I told you to do it all on the Desktop, because now all you have to do is change directory to the Desktop, which is one folder away. So, type this in the terminal (that's the command prompt window):
    cd Desktop
    You'll notice that the prefix has changed to:
    C:\Users\YOURNAME\Desktop>
    That's good
    Keep this window open and move on boys and girls.
    Next, the biggie, +Installation Part One+;
    We're mostly borrowing from this lovely persons thread, so I ought to give it a mention:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1704004&tstart=15
    Now we follow the last step on the thread linked, in case you're a philistine here it is...
    In that (command prompt) terminal window, type:
    iTunes64.msi /passive
    For those with 32bit i can only imagine it would be:
    iTunes.msi /passive
    Then just sit back and let it run silently until you recieve an error message pertaining to the failure of iTunes without "Apple Aplication Support", when this arises just click ok or whatever shuts it up and move to the next step.
    Lastly, finally, is +Installation Part Deux+;
    Double click AppleApplicationSupport.msi and just follow it through leaving everything as it is.
    Then, remember that other download I got you to do? QT Lite? Well double click on that and install it. At the end tick the "Configure Settings" box and just tweak them to be supaqwik, like maximising the web cache or whatever. Use your judgment.
    When that's done click apply/ok and... we're done!
    Just click/double click the itunes icon and you'll see an improvement straight away.
    Sorry if this tutorial was a bit too much like a Quentin Tarantino film for ya' but I gotta keep my brain from leaking out my ears, somehow
    Enjoy, and if it's been done before I just hope it hasn't been done better.
    I looked all over the internet and using the linked thread and some smarts; I got here, with you, and iTunes sans bloat.

    QuickTime is required for iTunes to run. You can think of iTunes as a media manager "front end" to QuickTime which handles the actual playing of the media.
    Safari was an optional install when I installed iTunes on my Windows system. I wasn't forced to install Safari. MobileMe is also no longer automatically installed, though it will update if it finds an existing installation. I didn't get it forced on me when I installed on my Vista system.

    One tip: it will pay better dividends if you avoid ranting. Apple won't see your rants (except to delete them) and we, your fellow users who are with rare exceptions the only ones participating here, don't really want to be yelled at.
