IPod update causes iPods to be incompatible with Xbox 360's

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1033587&tstart=0
(I felt that this topic belonged more in the compatibility forums.)
Since the iTunes 7.3 iPod software update, the iPods updated are now incompatible with 360's.
They now show up in the 360 system menu as "Audiobooks", and are unable to play from the predesigned playlists.
This is fixed by reverting to iTunes 7.2 or earlier.
However, one should be able to use the current iTunes version 7.5, and one's iPod with the Xbox 360, who many iPod users use as their entire media hub for their home theater systems.

Look in the packaging and pieces of paper that came with the Xbox 360. Mine came with a piece of paper advertising the ability to connect and listen to your iPod, and at the bottom it had a disclaimer saying that it doesn't work with the iPhone or iPod touch.

Problem using iPod with Xbox 360

I have always used my iPod to listen to music while I play games on my Xbox 360, until recently. My 360 no longer recognizes my iPod by name and it is just listed as something generic like external usb device and when I click on it there is no music on it. My iPod is otherwise fully functional when it is not connected to my 360 and my roomate's iPod still works fine with my 360 so i must have changed a setting or something, but I refuse to restore my iPod to factory settings and lose all my music. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm wondering if I should just go to settings, reset all settings. I'm reluctant to try this because I don't know if it will delete my music like if you restore your iPod. Any thoughts on any of this would be much appreciated.

Get this, I was fooling around and found a way to play songs from my iPod on my 360, sort of. When I click on portable device from my 360 or my iPod from my computer desktop three folders appear. Calendars, Contacts and Notes. If I drag songs from my iTunes library to any of these three folders within my iPod icon on my desktop, I can open that folder on my 360 and play the songs in it! The problem is that the sound quality is terrible and it doesn't use my iPod equalizer because things in these folders are not considered music so they are not treated like music when I click on them. In iTunes when I click on my iPod and it has a status bar showing my free space, music space, and other space on my iPod the songs that I put in the Notes folder show up in orange as taking up other space instead of music. Anyway this doesn't really solve my probem so I'm still open to suggestions and/or a number I can call for help.

Connecting with Xbox 360

is there a reason iPhones won't connect with Xbox 360's like iPods did?

Because even though it plays mp3 and has ipod capabilites...it's a phone! Were you able to connect your previous cell phone to your Xbox?

Hey kole71,
That particular model of Plantronics is compatible for PC gaming but not Xbox 360. Plantronics does have some headsets that work with 360, and I've attached a PDF of the chart found on their website. Hope that helps!

Linksys WRT54G compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Is the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router (WRT54G) compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Use the LAN port and cable. That way you'll get no interference and great data transfer. Or this maybe helps. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/homenetworking/equipment.htm

CS3 Updates cause programs to not work with Windows 7?

Has anyone else had their programs stop working after an Adobe update was installed? Although I have been told by 5 different Adobe staff members that CS3 is "not at all compatible" with Windows 7...it somehow worked on two machines for 6 months. Then a recent Adobe update caused it to not work. I could understand if it never worked with Windows 7, but it stopped working after Adobe's update. I am sure that Adobe has the resources to test their updates on Windows 7 machines and would have found this problem. What would make them proceed with giving their customers this update...hmmm maybe the release of CS5???
I also asked if they could send me a CD (since I chose a download) of the original CS3 suite without the updates and they told me that they don't have any. Really??? Adobe doesn't have any copies of a program that is only 3 years old?

Try this page to download a copy of the original...

Ipod Touch won't work with Xbox 360

Recently I was at my cousins house hanging out and we decided to plug in my iTouch to listen to music, but when we did this it started charging but wouldn't show up in the devices section so we couldn't use it. When we tried it with his 80Gb Classic it worked. It's not his 360 I tried it with my 360 and my brothers 360 and it didn't work with either of them.
If anyone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it please help me, or if you just know how to fix it.
Thanks

I have had the same problem, but have not worried about it. The iPod touch is the only iPod I have noticed that does not work with the Xbox360 and it may never.

Software update causes iPhone to not connect with iTunes

I did a software update this morning. The three updates were: "iDVD Update", 'Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update", and "Safari". After that my two iPhones (one is my wife's) can not connect to iTunes, nor iPhoto. I switched cables and the connection port with no success. Had to be the updates as there is nothing else different that I did. And yes, I restarted both the computer and iPhones, several times. Need help!

I had the same problem. My update was the new itunes along with your listed updates and my iphone takes over 3 hours to sync if it actually syncs at all. I get the spinning color wheel and can't use the rest of my computer. iPhone 3G, macBook Pro with all the available updates. Please help.

Having trouble with internet connections using my Apple G5. Updates turn out to be incompatible with my system. What should I do short of trashing the wonderful computer and spending cash I don't have on a new iMac?

Having trouble with internet connections using my Apple G5 OSX 10.4.11. Attempts to upgrade FireFox or Safari results in being incompatible with with this system. Tried to locate earlier versions to replace upgraded incompatible software only to find that problems have worsened with crashing results. What should I do short of trashing this wonderful G5 and purchasing a new iMac which I really can't afford?
Chuck's Dilema

Hi Chuck,
TenFourFox is the most up to date browser for our PPCs, they even have G4 & G5 optimized versions...
http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
I'd avoid vesrion 24 though, as it no longer supports plug-ins like Flash.
SeaMonkey seems pretty fast also, with many options...
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/
Might also look into iCab & OmniWeb versions.
Also...
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

Might be later ones around also... saw 11.3 I think.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
See in each Browser which version of Flash it thinks it has...

Functionality with XBox 360 Pro

Hey all,
I recently bought a first generation XBox 360 Pro from a friend of mine, who restored the thing to factory settings before giving it to me. After updating everything that I could think to update, I downloaded the iPod update so I could get it to work and play music while playing on XBox Live. Both my iTunes version and my iPod are completely up to date.
The problem comes when I try to plug the iPod into the XBox. The box will not recognize it as a device. If I knew how to get it to boot into some form of DOS, I'm sure I could figure it out, but as it stands with the very limited UI for the XBox's OS, I cannot get the XBox to recognize the iPod. So the question is this: does anyone know how to get it to work (and if so, how)? Or do I have to set up my PC to make the music accessible over the LAN?
Thanks!
(oh, and sorry for not searching, but I didn't see it on the front page)

THIS ISSUE APPEARED LAST YEAR, AFTER AN UPDATE TO ITUNES AND MY IPOD. I USED TO PRIMARILY LISTEN TO MY IPOD THROUGH MY XBOX360 AT MY HOME. NOW I DON'T USE MY IPOD SO MUCH ANYMORE. I USED TO REALLY LIKE MY IPOD, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ZUNE TIME FOR ME.
IS APPLE GOING TO HAVE ANY KIND OF OFFICIAL STATEMENT ABOUT THIS??
APPLE HAS REALLY NICE PRODUCTS, BUT BEHAVIOR SUCH AS THIS WILL KEEP ME FROM EVER PURCHASING ANY OTHER APPLE BRANDED MERCHANDISE!!

E3000 Setup Issue with Xbox 360

I just got my new router and went to setup it up. I put my laptop next to the router and followed the directions on the disc, once the install was done i could not access cisco program on the laptop. I decided to access the web base setup panal to get the 5ghz channel set up for my Xbox and leave the 2.4 channel alone.
My xbox shows that it is connected to the router but it won't get past the internet portion of the test.... I have found no posts about this issue, and plenty of port forwarding posts. Anyone think that port forwarding would help this matter?? I have 1 xbox 360 that i want on the 5 ghz channel and the rest of my stuff i had setup on the 2.4 ( ps3, ipad, ipod, laptop ) . At one point i couldn't even access the internet from those items. I did a full reset on the router and tried installing the program again with no joy...
I reconnected my old router for the time being and it all worked fine ( WRT110 model ).... I am out of ideas

Its always worth a shot, but i ran into sorta the same problem with the WRT110, when i tried to run it on N only for the Xbox.... Thats why i got this one so i could run my xbox on N 5ghz and the rest on B/G 2.4.... Thanks for the feedback, i will give it a shot and see if there was somthing i missed.

Replacing Apple TV with Xbox 360, Video Questions

I have had an ATV for a little over a year and thanks to Handbrake I now have an incredible Movie Library over 600 flicks ripped for ATV with the .m4v extension. This month I am getting an Xbox 360 and would like to use it in place of my ATV and move the ATV to another room. I have been doing my research and everything says I should use Connect 360 or Rivet to make contact between my iMac and Xbox 360. Though I have read that movies with the extension .m4v will not read. I have read on various sites that I could just change the extension to .mp4 or .avi and it will work fine. Though alot of the data out there on connect 360 and Xbox 360 streaming seems to be outdated and I can't tell what has been fixed by updates. so... my questions are,
1. Will my movies stream to xbox 360 via connect 360 in the .m4v format?
2.If no, can I just change the extension to .mp4 or .AVI? (I changed the extension from .MP4 to .m4v on some movies when I got the ATV due to some recognition issues in itunes last year and had no problem)
3. If I change the extensions will my ATV still be able to play these videos from elsewhere in the house?
4. Will it all just work flawlessly with no problems thanks to amazing updates from all parties?

I wanted a next gen game system. Part of the way I could convince my wife to let me get an xbox (Im whipped) was to offer to move the ATV to the bedroom so she could view our media in there. Since the Xbox has media center qualities I figured I would take atvantage of them. Now I trying to figure out the best way to get both working.

Updated to 7.3.1, PC and Xbox 360 can't connect

Hey, anyone else having problems getting PCs and Xbox 360s to connect to the AirPort Extreme after the 7.3.1 update? Wired or wireless, my PC (Vista, with and without SP1) and my Xbox 360 (with the official wireless network adapter) won't connect.

I am in the same boat...
7.2 worked great... 7.3.1 does not even show in the network list. Also, downgrading it does not fix the issue?!?!?
