Share iTunes library without an Internet connection.

Hi guys.
I have an Apple Tv3 and want to be able to share my iTunes library on my network that DOESN'T have web access, just simply a router that both my iMac and my appletv are on. Is this possible? Iv googled it but can't find a definitive answer. At the moment it tells me to ensure home sharing is on, which it is, but my content isn't available.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Homesharing needs to check home now and again to verify your account. Unfortunately you will need the Internet in order to be able to use your Apple TV in that way.

  • Can you connect apple tv3 to itunes library without an internet connection?

                   I have an Apple TV3 and i am trying to connect it to my iTunes library on my computer. I have setup an access wireless point. Its a TP-Link TD-W8958. I dont have an internet connection on this wireless network becuase I am not living in my own house at this time and dont have a phone line however the guy at the Apple dealer store said i should still be able to connect my computer to the Apple TV3.
    When i go to Computer on the Apple TV it says turn on Home Sharing and asks for my Apple ID. It says it cannot connect to the store which makes sense becuase of no internet connection but surely there must be a way to still turn on home sharing and connect with my computer.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks

  • I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased

    I'm a new iPad owner. When I've rented a movie, I can't work out how to play it back without a wifi connection. I get a message which says you cannot connect to the iTunes store without an Internet connection. This happens whether I've rented or purchased a film. We're going on a flight soon and would ideally like to watch one on the plane. Can someone please provide some step by step instructions. Thanks.

    Rented or purchased video are watched through the videos app after you have downloaded them, iTunes on iOS devices is for buying media only.

  • How do I turn off iTunes genius without having Internet connection?

    How do I turn off iTunes genius without having Internet connection? When I go to the iTunes menu select store, the drop-down box has "Turn Off Genius" grayed out.  I had Internet service when I started/activated my iTunes genius. But now, I stopped my Internet service and I cannot deactivate/stop the iTunes genius from trying to access the iTunes Store.  Is there a way to turn this function off!?  Any help would do.  I have iTunes 10.7(21) 64 bit
    thanks

  • 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

  • How can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    how can i connect my iphone to a new itunes library without losing my contacts and photos ?

    Is the new iTunes library on a different computer, or the same computer?
    Are you concerned about photos that you have taken with the iPhone in the Camera Roll, or photos you have synced to the iPhone from your computer?
    Contacts should be configured to sync with an app on your computer. You set this up in iTunes on the Info tab with the iPhone connected. You will not lose any contacts if the app on your computer has at least one contact.

  • 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?

  • Updating iTunes without an internet connection

    Hi,
    I just got my iPhone, but my version of iTunes is outdated and so I can't use it with the phone. It's a long, long story, but I'm without an internet connection for a few months.
    Can I just download the .exe file to a flash drive and then use that to update my current iTunes, or do I have to uninstall iTunes before I do that? Or is there another way?
    Yeah, in case you haven't guessed, I'm not exactly clued up on computers so go easy, please.
    Thanks

    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.
    Regards.

  • 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.

    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.

    Create new IDs for each by:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use that Id only for:
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the new one. Make sure that only that ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the new . Make sure that under You can be reached at only the new ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
    Continue to the one one common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores. That is what controls purchases.

  • Does iTunes Match work on your iPhone without an internet connection?

    I signed up for iTunes Match but it said that it would replace my play list on my phone if I activated it there.  I didn't because I was afraind that it would leave me without any music when I am skiing or some other place without access to the cloud.  Is that the case?

    Have you enabled iTunes Match in iTunes first and allowed the initial scan, match and upload process to complete first? If not, do so before enabling the service on the iPhone.
    In it's default state iTunes Match requires an internet connection to play music. If you are going somewhere where you think you will not have constant internet, or poor internet, then you can pre-download the music to the device.

  • Share itunes library between two comp. not on a network

    I have a mac and a large itunes library, but I spend a lot of time at my boyfriend's place and he has a windows with XP. So I was wondering is there anyway to share my library over the internet to his computer. He has dsl and I am on broadband, so I thought I could dial into his network, but he doesn't have a fixed IP address. Any ideas?

    If he doesnt have a fized IP adress, then you cant, but here are some other solutions
    If you have an iPod, then I can easily instruct you on how you can transfer the files.
    If not, then...
    For more inexpensive solution (recommended), burn up to 750 MB of files onto each blank CD (which you can buy cheap at any computer/ electronic store) saving the files on the CD's as a data disk at prompt. Use as many CD's as needed.
    For expensive solution. Buy an external Hard Drive (price varies based on HD sized) and connect it to your Mac via firewire/ USB (whatever type of chord that comes with your external HD). Then transfer all the files you want to transfer into the HD. Then bring the HD to his XP and connect again. Then upload the files onto his XP.
    PS: An external HD can be useful later if you want back up all your files on both of the computers in the event of a crash...

  • On the ipad2, can I access itunes library without first opening the Itunes store

    I commute with an IPad2 and there are times I cannot pick up an Internet connection. Is there a desktop shortct that would let me get into the Itunes Library without going through the Store, which will not open when there is not Internet connection? That way I could play songs already on the Ipad without depending on an Internet connection.

    I'm a little confused by the wording of your question. You appearnto be talking about your iPad but mention the desktop and accessing your iTunes library through iTunes which sounds as if you're talking about your computer. On your iPad, you access any of your stored music that you have downloaded or synced throughout the iPod app, not the iTunes store. It doesn't require an Internet connection.
