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.
Regards.

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.

Can I update software without internet connection?

Hi.
I have my iPod Nano synchronized with my home computer, but I don't have internet connection there.
If I want to update my iPod software, I have to connect it to my job computer (with internet connection), but it means to delete all my music.
There is any way to download the latest software from my job computer, and install it on my iPod in my home computer?.
Thanks a lot. Regards.
iPod Nano 8 GB 2nd Generation Windows XP Pentium III 866 MHz, 384 MB RAM, HDD 320 GB (I know it, it's prehistoric)

Not as far as I know.
As the software updater is now integrated into iTunes, it needs to contact the software updater server via the internet.

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.)

Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

Connect time capsule via ethernet to Mac for back-up only. Is it possible without internet connection ?

Hi Bob,
I'm not certain the post I sent was posted correctly, as I added it as a reply to a 3-year old thread. Since this is a recently-active thread, though not specific to the issue at hand, I thought I'd post again:
Three years ago you helped me set up a roaming wireless network in my home. It's been rock-steady and I'm forever grateful to you for the time and guidance you gave me. I'd now like to swap out my AirPort Extreme base station for a time capsule. As I understand it, I should be able to unplug the base station and replace it with the TC without problem, so long as I use all the same settings on my TC... network name, security protocol, password, etc. Given the complexity of my network, I thought I should check with you first for any advice you might have. I don't want to set up a new network or make any changes to the existing one-- with the exception of using the TC in place of the AE. I'm already using Time Machine for backups. As a refresher, my current setup has the AE as base station and 3 expresses hard-wired with Ethernet connections elsewhere in my home. I have a 4th express set up wirelessly to use with my stereo system at the front of the house. All AXs are 'n's and are set up, as per your instructions, in Bridge mode to extend the existing network. I'm running the most updated version of Mavericks on my MBPro. Any suggestions you might have will be, as always, very much appreciated! Sincerely, Phyllis Sommers

HT4095 Can I watch rented movies in my ipad 2 without internet connection. I will be travelling by air and highway. Ty

Can I watch rented movies in my ipad 2 without internet connection?

If you use iTunes to rent movies, then yes.
iTunes movies downloaded and stored directly to your iPad and if you don't start playing a movie, stay on your iPad for 30 days.
If you start to play a downloaded, rented movie on your iPad, then it will expire in 24 hours.
Other services, like Amazon, Netflix and Hulu need an Internet connection to stream their content.

Activate a computer without internet connection

I wish to activate a computer to use itunes on (it has a nice large screen). But it doesn't have a card to connect to the internet.
I can download the files on another (already activated machine) and move the files --but can't play them on the second machine.

I know of no way to authorize a machine without internet connection.

HT1657 Watching movie without internet connection

Rented a movie at itunes and wanted to watch without internet connection. Is this possible?

A rental movie has to be authorized before you can play it, so you need an Internet connection and the ATV needs to be logged into your iTunes account.
Drive safely in your haste to get to the cottage before you reach the viewing time limit.

HT5176 locked out without internet connection and activated voice dictation

Hi
I guess I accidentally activated the voice dictation and now my iPad is locked without internet connection. Now I am not able to keyin my PIN and not able to de-activate the voice dictation. Can somebody help me with this?
Thanks
Nitin

Do you mean the VoiceOver accessibility function or Siri ? If VoiceOver, then how did you turn it on ? If via Settings > General > Accessibility then you should be able to turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064
If you don't know how it cam on then try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.

Can I install Arch Linux without Internet connection ?

It sounds noobish but my friends like to know if they can install Arch Linux without Internet connection ?

mcmillan wrote:
The core iso should be all you need, just boot off that to start the installation. It's been a while since I did an install, but somewhere along the way it gives you an option to install off the cd or do a net install. You just need to choose the cd installation.
That being said, all you'll have without internet will be what's on the cd, so you'll be left with a pretty minimal install. If you want to update and install additional software then you'll either need to get the computer temporarily connected, or download the packages on a different computer and transfer them.
I am looking to do something similar. I have the core system installed on an older laptop, but I cannot get the wireless working (it has no ethernet). I've tried downloading the libgl packagesfrom a mirror to a thumbdrive, but it's a dependency nightmare. Is there a better way to do this?

Install 2nd instance of Arch Linux without internet connection

I have successfully install a first instance of Arch Linux using Arch Linux ISO + pacstrap + pacman with internet connection.
I have updated to latest package database list (/var/lib/pacman/sync) and package cache files (/var/cache/pacman/pkg) in first instance of Arch Linux with "pacman -Swyu".
Next, I would like to install 2nd instance of Arch Linux without using internet connection.
I share the "/var/lib/pacman/sync" and "/var/cache/pacman/pkg" via NFS from first Arch Linux instance.
I boot the 2nd instance with Arch Linux ISO and attempt to install without internet connection. I mount the two NFS shares from 1st instance to "/var/cache/pacman/pkg" and "/mnt/var/lib/pacman/sync" respectively. I execute
# pacstrap -i -c /mnt"
to start installation.
I found it is almost impossible with current implementation of pacstrap script. The pacstrap script always attempt to update package database list with -Sy option.
I think some amendments on pacstrap script is needed to install Arch Linux without internet connection.

I made the edit by adding the option -o to do what you want.
I am too lazy for a feature request right now...

# Assumptions:
# 1) User has partitioned, formatted, and mounted partitions on /mnt

If I download Mountain Lion on my MBP , can I use the same installer file on a different computer and continue the installation without Internet connectivity?

Hi Folks,
I have just downloaded Mountain lion on my Macbook Pro(haven't installed it yet) . My question is, can I copy the same downloaded Mountain Lion from the Applications on to an external hard drive and use the same on a different computer? I am having problems with internet connectivity right now, it would be amazing if it can be installed on the iMac without internet connection.
So is that doable?
Thanks in advance

And the 2nd installation would not require internet connectivity? Except , of course during the set up and the configuration of iCloud and location based services, which I can skip at the time
