Using a dongle and connecting with an Xbox 360...
Hi guys,
Quick question, i've moved into my new uni place but it hasn't got any internet. So im looking at getting a dongle but I still want to hook up my xbox to xbox live. Is there a way of feeding the internet through my imac (which is using the dongle) to the xbox. If its any help i do have the extra wireless box for the xbox and also an either-net cable.
Thanks!
You X-Box can connect to the internet thru the Mac using either wifi or ethernet, whichever works best for you.
If you want Ethernet, connect a cable between them
If you want wifi, you need to first create a network.
System prefs -> Network.
Select Airport then click on Network name: and select *Create network...*.
Give it a name, tick require password.
Now go System prefs -> Sharing.
Click on *Internet Sharing*.
Set *Share your connection from:* and select the dongle (likely showing up as USB).
If you connect them using Ethernet, set *To computers using:* and select Ethernet.
If you connect them using wifi, set *To computers using:* and select Wifi.
You will need to enable wifi on the X-Box and connect with the password you set above.

Can i use my Creative Zen Touch with my Xbox 360
Hello, wondering if you can help me out with the question above, and if you know how to make it work. If you could help me i'd be grateful.
You can use the Zen Touch with the Xbox 360, but you would have to update the firmware on the player to an MTP (2.x) firmware. This will slightly change the way the player works on the PC. For more information on MTP, check this knowledgebase article.

Can I use my mid 2011 iMac with an Xbox 360?
Hello all, I have been unable to find a definative answer to this question so thought it best to ask here. Question being can I connect an Xbox 360 to my mid 2011 21.5 iMac and use it as a monitor for gaming? If this is possible, could you tell me how seeing as the iMac doesn't have a hdmi input?
Help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.For the 2009 and 2010 27" iMacs there is the Kanex XD http://www.kanexlive.com/xd but it is not compatible with ThunderBolt iMacs as Kanex states in their Product FAQs.
2011 ThunderBolt iMac only accept other ThunderBolt Macs as source.

The Intensity Extreme http://www.blackmagic-design.com/uk/products/intensity/ might be what you need once it is released.

I am considering buying an airport but I am not sure if it will work how I would like it to. I need it for two things. The first would be to use for AirPlay with my home stereo. The second would be to use as a way to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via the ethernet port. I would like to do these things simultaneously, rather than constantly changing the configuration and being limited to a single function each time I do so.
Thanks!The 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, it would join an existing wireless network and its Ethernet port would be enabled for a wired client, like your Xbox 360. This configuration would also support AirPlay simultaneously.

Using the Airport with an Xbox 360 and such
Hey guys I'm thinking of buying a new Airport Extreme N for my home since my linksys router is being stubborn. I have an xbox 360 and i was wondering if it worked well with it. What i mean is it faster with the Extreme and is it very reliable. Thanks guys for helping me out and have a Merry Christmas. --- Vinny the Pooh
I just got the Airport for Christmas and it only took a couple of minutes to set up with my xbox 360 and all of my computers connected right away. The signal is twice as good as the signal with my linksys router was. Much better for xbox live. Good luck

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?
No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-( -
i am trying to connect my mac and PC through my network. the pc can seen and connect with the mac, but my mac can only see the pc it can't connect. how do i fix this?
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTune (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug.
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTune has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTune.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...

If you're trying use your hotspot and connected to wifi on your iphone, does the wifi stop working and start using your data instead of staying connected to the wifi?

Thanks for the quick response. What you have said makes sense but there is no rhyme or reason to he data used. I reset my cellular data counter to zero so both sent and received read zero. I was connected to wifi and let the phone to go into sleep mode. I waited about ten minutes and sent myself the same email four times, each with a 750 kb attachment. It was sent to my .me address so it was push mail on my phone. Sure enough I checked a minute later while bringing the phone out of sleep mode and checked the data. It showed just 10kb sent but 1mb received which just doesn't tally with the 4 x 750kb mails received. It just isn't making sense.
He knows what you asked and has already answered it!
I thought I had read where the iOS4 (or maybe just the iPhone 4) was supposed to be able to keep wifi connections alive while inactive. If the phone is sitting there on a charger with a wifi connection available, why use the 3G? -
Even though there are over 200 photos on my ipad, after trying both methods of importing and connecting with a lead, a message appears saying that there are no photos on this device. Any ideas?
Did you connect your iPad to your computer then open the application on your computer that transfers photos from a camera? Your computer should recognize the iPad as a camera. All photos in the Camera Roll on the iPad should then be seen and you should be able to copy them to the computer using that application.
Photos that were synced to your iPad by connecting to your syncing computer cannot be copied back this way as the master file for those photos are on the syncing computer. -
