Unnecessary internet connection requirements

Virtually every time I download an app from OVI on to my phone, I am unable to play it because the game insists of having an active internet connection to work. This has completely put me off using the store. I find it unecessary to have a live internet connection to play simple games such as sudoku. FREE games should not have live internet connection requirements. It's ridiculous. My contract does not have a data allowance and therefore I refuse to be charged a fortune just for playing a simple game.

If you read the details of these FREE games on OVI store.. there is a mention of Data connection requirement... For many games.. just to start it downloads an advert.. and thats the way developers earn money.. In longer run its better to go for a paid game ( .. just pay once..) than a Free one... You may Google for Free games for your phone model.. and may find a few that do not require Internet connection...

Help menu telling me "Internet connection required"

i'm experiencing a weird and frustrating thing: when i try to consult the Help menu for a topic whose answer is online, the answer i'm looking for appears for about 1/4 of a second before it disappears and is replaced with the following text:
Internet connection required
The help topic you’re opening requires an Internet connection. Choose Apple > System Preferences, and then click Network to check your network settings and, if necessary, connect to the Internet.
thing is, my 'net connection's just fine. it's strong and fast and works for absolutely everything else.
any idea what's going on here? thanks...

ep, make sure you're looking in the right Library folder. forgive me if you already know this, but there are several Library folders on a normal OS X installation: there's one on the top level of the hard drive, one in the System folder, and one in each user's home folder. birman was talking about the one in your home folder.
just looking over my old threads and saw this one; i don't recall doing anything that successfully fixed the problem, as such, but it seems - knock wood - to have gone away. maybe buying this new Mac Pro was the solution. :P

Why is an internet connection required.

I am requested to sign in every time I use photoshop - as I not normally have a connection when using the laptop this makes working remotely impossible.
I asked before signing up to the cloud if an internet connection was required. - Only to download and the occasional sign in was the answer.
Have I missed something?

that should not happen, but you're not alone.
see if you can find a solution here, http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1058184

CS5.5 - Internet Connection Required to Start?

Hello,
One of our users purchased Premiere Pro CS5.5 and our IT department has to support it.
It starts up fine with an active internet connection. Without an internet connection Premiere Pro automatically closes after the splash screen.
This user wants to edit video away from their office/home/etc. I just want to confirm an internet connection is/is not required before breaking the news to them.
Thanks,
Ken

I noticed that whenever Premiere Pro 5.5 starts without an internet connection a new dynamiclinkmanager.exe process gets created. These processes stack even though Premiere Pro 5.5 quits.
Some CS6 applications are also installed on this machine, and it has its own dynamiclinkmanager.exe file and process. Is this interfering with Premiere Pro 5.5?

Does Internet connection Requires by every Applica...

Hey Friends, i am using c6-01..
I had installed Applock...
But when i switched off my internet it automatically gets off..
i.e. whenever no internet connection is there Its not working..
does it always requires Internet connection to work?
and also.. I am not able to switch off my internet, when ever i discoonnect it, it got closed.. but when ever i open any application locked by applock.. Internet always get started..
Can any one suggest me some solution to it ??
Please on urgent basis...

OK.. It seems the application downloads ads when you start it and thats why you need Internet connection. Try some paid applications instead.. Read the reviews below them and you will most probably know how they work. You may also check at the Developers' site for more details.
You may have a look at this.. but I am not sure whether this also requires Internet. Most probably the Paid application of such sort will not ...
You may also search yourself at Nokia Store. Select your Phone model and simply search for 'LOCK' ...

AD sites and internet connectivity requirements

Hi All,
I am looking on setting up several AD sites on my lab environment. I run 2 physical Hyper-V servers in 2 sites. Per my understanding, 1 (or at least 1) DC in each site must be a bridgehead server to replicate out to other sites (inter).
For security reasons, my DCs have no internet connection but are on a private IP. They are not multi-homed. So for a >1 site setup to work, does this mean one DC must have an internet connection to talk to DCs in other sites? Is this not a bad practice?
Likewise, if I give the DC a 2nd NIC for internet connectivity, isn't this a bad idea?
Any guidance much appreciated.
Thanks

As long as you have routing enabled between your sites there is no need to establish internet connection on DC's. Also it is not recommend to have internet connection on DC's from security perspective. In addition I myself, never recommend to have multiple
NIC's on your DC's, you can configure a gateway between different subnets and use it in order to connect different subnets to each other.
Regards.

IMac Pro drops internet connection requires WPA2 Key

My mac pro connects to our wireless internet, but when I turn it back on from sleep mode it has lost connection and requires a WPA2 password to reconnect! I don't know where to find this key... but when I restart this mac it is connected to the wireless again! Help!

Welcome to the discussions!
Can you confirm if both your Extreme and Express are "n" capable devices? It's easy to make a mistake setting up the "extend" feature, so we should start by checking your settings for both devices. Please post back to confirm.

Internet connection required?

Do you need to be connected to a wireless network in order to stream your music to speakers? I'm looking into getting an airport but only going to use it for streaming music but currently don't have WiFi in my house so not sure if it'll work. Thanks

Do you need to be connected to a wireless network in order to stream your music to speakers?
If you want to use the streaming built into iTunes (known as "Airtunes") you would need iTunes plus an AirPort Express (AX). The AX is a wireless router. You could be connected to the AX via Ethernet or wireless to stream music.

Is it possible to activate an ipad w/o an internet connection on a mac?

Is it possible to activate an ipad without an internet connection on my mac?
I have got a macbook pro with iTunes 10.1.2 (17) and an micro-sim card with a iPad 3G data plan, so I can use it directly with the iPad, but I have to activate the iPad at first.
I have NOT any internet connection on the macbook pro (because I am actually traveling). So do not recommend to go to the next Apple Store etc.
Thank you.

You can register it when you get an Internet connection.

You cannot get a wifi connection anywhere? (hotel, library, airport, coffee shop, etc.)
Yes, I can. But it costs $30 for 10 MB (minimal use) at the hotel. Just to compare: a 3G data plan with 3GB traffic costs $50 monthly

7525 Wirelessly connected, loses internet connection, will not print from wireless network

Have a 7525 Photosmart printer (approx 7 months in service) that has been working great until now. I had to change the dsl/wireless router over the weekend and now I can't print wirlessly from the network. According to the printer diagnostics, the printer is connected to the network but each time I try to print, the computer being used can't find the printer. Checking the Wireless Network Test Results page, all is fine except there is no internet connection. Restoring the internet connection requires a 're-boot' of the printer, i.e., switching it off and unplugging, after which network printing is restored. However, that only lasts for a very short time, less than 1 minute, then no more network printing.
I think there is something fishy with the IP address. HP Print and Scan Doctor can't find the printer using this address. Typing the IP address into the browser gets an error message that the page cannot be found. That address should lead you to the printer page, but it does not. Changing the router resulted in an IP address change for the printer, but I wasn't even able to manually set the IP address via HP troubleshooting as it required the ability to get to the printer page from the IP address.
I am rambling on, but I have reached my knowledge limit and hope that someone can give me some other suggestions on what to try next. Thanks

Hi Seenders and welcome to the HP Forum,
I understand that you are having connection issues with the printer on the network. I will try my best to help you resolve this issue. In this document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection are different solutions that may resolve your connections issues. Once you have the printer up on the network make sure you update the IP Address on your computer.
I hope this information is useful. Let me know how it works out.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

E4200 - Must have internet connection!!

I was not at all pleased with this device. It was purchased with the intent of setting up a home LAN for expanded digital storage only. I was not aware that an internet connection is required to even begin the setup wizard.
What's great about it: unable to test unit
What's not so great: high speed internet connection required.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Your feedback is always welcome. Basically, people use router to share their high speed broadband connection on multiple computers and devices (ipad, XBOX, DVR etc.)
Having said that, the purpose of the CD setup is to recognize the type of internet connection and configure the router accordingly without going through the manual setup.
Now coming to the issue that you have mentioned. Its not necessary to have an internet connection to setup the router just for the home LAN.
Every router has a built in web interface, with the help of which, you can configure/change almost all the settings on your router.
Please refer to the link which will guide you to login to the web interface of the router. http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=22651&userrole=Links...
Hope this helps.

Apple Help engine erroneously reports internet connection missing

I was using the help for TextWrangler, which is implemented in the Apple Help system. Sometimes, inconsistently, it fails to bring up a help page, and reports
Internet connection required
The help topic you’re opening requires an Internet connection. Choose Apple > System Preferences, and then click Network to check your network settings and, if necessary, connect to the Internet.
Of course my internet connection is just fine. I did a google search on that error message and found a suggestion that other people are experiencing this same error in Help in other applications and that Apple has been notified of the problem, so I thought I'd check here if anyone knows anything about this.
Thanks!

Turn on 64-BIT WEP encryption on your router. Pick a 10 digit password for key 1. Turn on Wireless with SSID broadcast on. Pick a name for your network other than "LINKSYS"
On the Mac turn on wireless (icon next to the speaker, upper right)
Select the network you just made. Type in the key.
and you're on

Running QT Pro on Standalone - No Internet Connection

SUBJECT: Running QT on Standalone - No Internet Connection
I use XPpro SP2 and a friend who runs a MAC has been encouraging me to take QT Pro out on a trial run for a long time.
However, my editing system is isolated from the Internet. I have looked extensively on the Apple Site, also the QT site, talked with various folks on the phone, but can not get advice on how to set up the programme and how I am enabled to obtain manual updates that come along from time-to-time.
Any wisdom or links greatly appreciated.

Download the PC version of the QuickTime Player app on a PC and burn the installer to a CD. While online you'll also need to purchase the Pro upgrade and record the registration info.
Install QuickTime 7.2 on your computer and enter the registration info (no Internet connection required to upgrade to Pro).
Enjoy Pro.
Updates would require you repeat the download (always a completely new install as QuickTime doesn't do "partial" update only software) and burn process.

Update Connection Proxy with temporary internet connection

Hi,
I have a lot of systems which are not allowed to connect to the internet - and even are not allowed to connect to a system, which is connected to the internet.
Is it possible to connect the Update Connection Proxy only temporary to the internet, to download the patches. Then disconnect it and connect it to the clients to do the update on the clients.
Or is a internet connection required during the update.
Regards,
Hans-Juergen

It is not possible to use smpatch/updatemanager in a disconnected environment regardless of whether or not a Sun UC Proxy (aka LPS) is being used.
The reason is that there will be no way to get the data to the disconnected environment. All of the LPS download mechanisms are driven by demand from a client; there are no mechanisms for bulk downloading data which has not been requested.
So unless your clients are able to connect to the LPS while it is temporarily connected to the internet, Sun UC will not work for patching your clients.
Your best option at present would be to use patch clusters or to look into the Sun Connection 1.1.1 or xVM Ops Center software.

My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???

If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds
