Running Apple TV without Internet

Hey guys. My business has 4 apple TV's that will be hooked up in 4 different offices. All of which will not have internet connection. I'm trying to make them display training videos for employees. Is it not possible to load video onto the apple tvs and then hook the apple tvs to TV monitors to show the videos without connecting to a network? thanks in advance for any help.

You'll need to introduce the tv on a LAN (network) which includes the mac/pc that you wish to sync data from, this LAN does not need to have internet access.
Once you have done this and synced all the content to the tv that you wish to, you can then remove the tv from the LAN and simply connect it to any compatible tv in order to playback the contents on it.
There are a few provisos here about DRM inclusive and rented content, but it appears you intend to show your own videos on the tv which shouldn't be a problem at all.
Can you be more specific in your reply in terms of your use of the phrase 'internet' and 'network', it makes quite a difference when we try to provide an answer. Internet (WAN) implies you have a connection to, well, the internet; network implies that you can connect to local devices (macs/pc's etc)

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

Will the lightning to HDMI dongle work?
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.

Using Apple TV Without Internet?

I have successfully set up my Apple TV2 by logging into my iTunes account. Now I would like to take it with me on vacation, and use with AirPlay to run videos off my iPad on the HD TV where we're staying.
Is it possible to run AirPlay without having an internet connection - once the Apple TV has been successfully registered? Or is the Apple TV going to fail to operate if it cannot log into iTunes or the internet?

If you have an Airport Express router or really any small portable router you can use that to create your wifi network between the Apple TV and the iPad. No internet needed.

Can I play photos from my iPad to my Apple TV without internet, just a network?

Hi
I'd like to know if it will be possible to play the photos on my iPad 2 to my Apple TV 2 via a wireless home network that has not internet connection.

Hey A Silverstone,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you want to use mirroring on your home network. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Use AirPlay Mirroring
To enable AirPlay Mirroring on your iOS 7 device, follow these steps:
Connect your iOS device and your Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

Syncing Apple TV without Internet or Wireless Modem

Hi
I am new to ATV and not very tech savy.
I have an iMac, iPhone and recently got ATV. My wireless broadband won't arrive before two weeks and I am impatient to hook up my ATV to the LCD.
I heard that there is a way to create a wireless network using the iMac and get the iPhone to hook up to it and use it as a remote control to drive the ATV. Then I can connect the ATV to iMac using the internet-free wireless network and then I can start playing whatever is on my Imac.
Can anyone please tell me where and how I can create this internet-free wireless network on the iMac?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
If you have a wifi symbol in your menu bar, choose 'create wireless network', if you have no such icon in the menu bar go to system preferences/network where you can create a wireless network from the network name options.
If you have no internet there isn't much point in turning internet sharing on. You will of course be unable to use any features that require an internet connection.

Can I Connect Apple TV Without Internet?

I just ordered my Apple TV Sunday. Today is Tuesday and they emailed me that it will come Thursday. I live way back in the woods so I only have dial up. So I am wondering if I can connect my Apple TV to my HP Notebook with an ethernet cable. that would create a connection between them. Then will iTunes reconize it and sync all the stuff to the Apple TV? Will this work??? Please help me.. Will this work???? Thanks in advance!

Oh god thanks!!! My hert dropped because i was searching google and they said no... Then I realized that it was the older Apple TV's... lol... Thankyou SOOOOO much!
there is no "older" appletv. they are all identical.
appletv "take 2" is just a software update.

Labwiew 8 won't start without internet connection

I have Labview 8.0 installed on a NI PXI-1050 chasis with Windows XP and Service Pack 2 installed. The problem is that Labview will not load up (it locks up at finishing initialization) if I do not have the chasis connected to the internet via ethernet connection. When I connect to the internet and reboot the computer, Labview is able to start fine. The chasis is installed in a mobile vechicle and cannot always be connected to the internet. I've read that Labview 8 needs to connect to the internet to make sure the copy it is running is legitimate? Is this copy protection messing me up? Is there a way to run Labview 8 without internet connection?
Thanks.

Where did you read this? There's an initial activation that you do when you first install LabVIEW. but there's no "phone home" each time you launch LabVIEW. I can start up LabVIEW without an internet connection.
More than likely what's causing it are services that run and/or MAX. Software firewalls installed on a computer can block this communication even it's happening on a loopback, but you said that the problem goes away once you connect to the internet, so it's likely not a firewall issue. Is the PXI chassis normally connected directly to the internet through a modem, or is it connected to a router (when it's connected)? Are you using a static IP address on your PXI chassis?

HT1461 Win 7 set up and running OK,but after go back from OSX the wireless net work stuck at identification cause the window working without Internet.Can we fix it or I must use Windows off line all the time? I already contact Microsoft 2 times for activa

Win 7 set up and running OK,but after go back from OSX the wireless net work stuck at identification cause the window working without Internet.Can we fix it or I must use Windows off line all the time?
I already contact Microsoft 2 times for activations.Hope I can fix from Apple instead.

Ok....Got "Problem 2 and 4" solved....still trying to figure out this pop up everytime I click something...it's crazy how fast the pop up blinks...maybe once or 3 blinks then nothing till you close the window, then pop up then disappears...then click something
else and pop up then gone....never seen this before...ive seen it when you tried to get online which turned out to be a virus on a customers cpu I worked on some years ago, I think it has something to do with the deleted files that I spoke of on last
post...I notice it does it on start up as well.....think something is trying to install but not sure. Need to figure out where the appdata or start up folder and see whats in there....maybe it's in there.......so I might wait to see how it acts in the next
couple days for "Problem 1"...but other than that it's running like a champ...so right now I just want to get the pop up windows to stop........thx again for everyone's help on this.

My macpro runs slow with or without internet on..... How can I find out if something is running in the background?

my macpro runs slow with or without internet on..... How can I find out if something is running in the background?

Please boot in safe mode and test. Still slow? If you connect to a wireless network, you may have to connect with Ethernet in safe mode.
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)

Apple TV viewing of my PCs iTunes without internet thru Apple Airport Express

Can I do an Apple TV viewing of my PCs iTunes without internet thru Apple Airport Express?

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

Running Apple Hardware Test... without ability to see the screen

Here's a nice conundrum- my screen isn't working. I want to run Apple Hardware Test, but since I can't see it... no dice.
I'm pretty sure this is the NVidia 8600GT problem- Apple has acknowledged that these graphics cards are defective. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
The only way I can get into the computer is to use screen share- I've tried an external monitor, and it doesn't work. And I can't screen share when the apple hardware test is running- any idea how to see this? Another option- is there anyway I could start it without seeing anything, and then look at the results later? Are the results saved in Console or anywhere?
Thanks1

I dont think you need to do a hardware test.
Its the 8600 video cards, thats why Apple extended the warranty on the cards. Just bring it to the Genius Bar and they will sort it out for you.

Can i run apple tv off a home network with no internet just iTunes library?

Yes you can use home sharing with just a local network. Obviously you won't have access to all the other content.

HT2208 Can movie on iPad play on Apple TV/tv without Internet, just AirPlay?

I want to play the 100 movies on a tv, in a boat, at sea without Internet? I would use an iPad or MacBook Pro using airplay. Is a router required for AirPlay, even if there is no wifi Internet?
Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If the movies are purchased movies, you may find that they need to check home before you can play them, although they don't actually need an internet connection to stream from the computer to the Apple TV.
