AdhocParty on PS3?

Ok here's what I have:
An 80 GB PS3 (3.15)
A MacBook Pro (10.5.8)
The Ethernet cable the PS3 came from
A wireless connection
So I want to use the adhocParty application on the PS3 so I can play my PSP games online with other people. My PS3 has always worked on my wireless connection, but enable to use adhocParty my PS3 needs to be plugged into a physical bradband connection. Since the Mac (wich is using my wireless connection) has a built in ethernet ability I thought that I could simply plug my PS3 to my Mac with the included cable and thus being able to use adhocParty. Am I right in thinking this? How would I do this? Any suggestions on other ways of physically connecting my PS3 to the internet (other than plugging it directly into my modem, wich is not anywhere near my PS3)?

Good day JA_champ!

  • Hi, can i use my macbook air as a display for my PS3?

    Hi,
    I want to connect my PS3 to my macbook air as its display.  Is it possible?
    If it is. what cable do i need?

    It can actually be done, yes. You just need an application called "type2phone", which is available in the Mac App Store. Note that it does cost $5 (kinda steep for a novelty).

  • How to connect my ps3 via thunderbolt to my imac 27'late 2012?

    I have a new imac an old ps3 and will buy the new ps4 once available.
    Is anyone aware comcerning a solution to connect these devices?
    I need a solution video in (thunderbolt) to video out (hdmi) would prefer of course if sound would go the same way.
    Thanks

    You would need a display port to HDMI adapter. One of the newer features (which the 2012 iMac has) is that it can display this type of content like a DVD player to the iMac.

    Use the above link to review that item. It also has a DVI adapter that you would not use. But the display port to HDMI is the correct item. Then you connect the PS3 to the hdmi on it. I don't think it would passthrough audio though so you would have to figure something out for sound.

  • How to connect my PS3 to my iMac (Late 2012)

    Hello every one, I have a question. Can I connect my PS3 to my late 2012 iMac with 27 inch over HDMI?
    I looked in the internet but I only found such Adapters, for the older iMac's.
    If I can do this, please let me know what I need and where I could get this Adapter or Device.
    Thank You.

  • HT4437 How do I get my Air Play to access my two WD Share Space and my booklive duo?. Able to access with PS3 but not Apple TV Ver 3.  Have all my movies and music on it and do not want to have a computer on for it.

    I had bought two Network Drives so I could watch my own movies anywhere in my house and clear up the clutter of all the DVDs, Blurays and CDs, Works greate with the PS3,  Bought the Apple TV version 3 because it was smaller and resently bought the IPAD 3 and have the IPHONE 4S and other apple products.
    My wish is to access my Network drives with the Apple TV - I have herd of Jailbreaking it (Not Avalible from where I can tell for the Version3) - but why didn't Apple ever think of accessing a Network drive and is their a work around for this?   Should I just shutup  and wait till Jail Breaking is avalible for the Version 3?.
    Thank you for any help

    I'm sure they did think of it, but quickly discarded the idea because of the horrendous user experience this causes.

  • How to connect a PS3 to BT Openzone or Bt FON

    I thought I would post this information as it has taken me all morning, a lot of phone calls and reading on google to sort this out!!
    Problem I had:  I want to take my PS3 to my parents house when visiting and they dont have any access to the internet.  I am a total broadband customer and have access to BT FON & Openzone.
    I called BT directly and they said they didnt support it so I nearly gave up however I have now found out exactly how to connect!!
    Go to Network settings on PS3
    Go to  - Internet connection settings
    Choose - Custom
    Choose - Wireless
    Choose - Scan
    Pick whichever has highest signal strength - either BT FON or BT Openzone
    SSID should come up with BtOpenzone (leave it as it is!)
    WLAN settings - choose none
    IP address - auto
    DHCP host - do not set
    DNS - Automatic
    MTU - automatic
    Proxy server - do not use
    UPNP - enable
    Press x to save settings
    At this point it will test connection and show the IP address has been found but the internet connection failed, this is fine. Come out of settings and go to your internet browser on PS3
    Once you launch the browser you get the BT openzone log in page, enter your details if you are a customer or buy the package / whichever is your preference.  
    Once you have logged in you can then close the browser and launch an online game!
    I played Black Ops on BT Openzone at signal strength 100%, it was perfect and I had no problems at all!
    I hope this helps!!!

    Hi, BTOPENZONE is my normal wireless network. I only have openzone and pay monthly for it!
    Has anyone found a solution to the problem mentioned above with regards to the PS3 not obtaining an IP adrress from the OPENZONE access point? I alled th openzone helpline last night and am no further on today!
    Please can someone help me!!

  • Can i use a mini display port on hdmi cabel to connect a ps3 or something??

    the hdmi connector of the ps3 or a sat reciever is an output and on the 27" imac the minidisplayport is an input/output , so my question is, can i connect my ps3 or my sat reciever to my imac with a hdmi on minidisplayport cabel to watch tv or play ps3   .
    if it does'nt work, how can i do this , or can i do this ??  
    thanks benedictfromicking

    Nope; at least not that I've found. There are only a couple of companies selling such a converter (they probably all come from the same manufacturer) and they're all pricing it exactly the same.

  • Anyone ever try recording from PS3  to Mac using EyeTVHD  ?

    Hello,
    I am connecting my PS3 with a multi AV cable to the back of my PS3 and connecting the blue green red cables to the EyeTVHD but I always get a NO SIGNAL message on the Mac.
    Has anyone tried this and got it to work?
    Is it possible to record games, regular dvds, and bluray using this setup ?
    Which are possible and which are not ?
    I can record from my regular dvd player ( but picture only - no sound )
    The back of the dvd player has a digital video out but I believe EyeTVHD only accepts analog input. So not sure how to get sound if that is the case.
    If anyone can help with the PS3 connections or the dvd player sound - much thanks.
    Is the only way to record bluray to purchase a bluray writer and would the bluray writer work with the PS3 using EYETVHD with the Mac - man it's really getting confusing now.
    thanks if anyone can lead me out of the wilderness here

    I am connecting my PS3 with a multi AV cable to the back of my PS3 and connecting the blue green red cables to the EyeTVHD but I always get a NO SIGNAL message on the Mac.
    That's probably because, as you describe your setup, nothing is connected to the Mac.

  • PS3 (blu-ray player) will not play movie after menu selection on this particular project?

    When trying to play my finished Blu-ray disc on PS3 the menus display and work good. However, when I choose a selection to play the movie it returns back to the main menu. It doesn't matter if I choose the main play button or one of the chapters on the scene selection menu, it does not play the movie but rather returns to the main menu. Menus appear to be working fine!
    I've used Encore for years and I'm pretty familiar with the ins and outs of creating DVD's. I'm a little new at creating Blu-rays but have found the process very similar to creating DVDs with the addition of being able to add Popup menus. I pretty much followed the same process as a Blu-ray I created a couple months ago which worked fine. So I'm pretty much at a lose how to trouble shoot this issue. The only thing that has changed is that I've upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite but I really don't know if that is a factor or not. Encore did not run into any issues while working on the project.
    Everything works when previewing my project in Encore. All the menus and buttons work and the movie plays fine. Also, no errors are reported after running the Check Project process on the Build tab.
    I usually create an ISO file to burn from later. Encore created the ISO file and reported success.
    I'm running Adobe CS6 on a Mac with Yosemite. FCPX was used to output the AC3 audio file and 264 video file. Menu transitions are ProRes422.
    So far while trouble shooting I've made 3 coasters.
    1st disc was created using Yosemite Disk Utility to burn the ISO file created by Encore (my usual way).
    2nd, and 3rd disc I let Encore burn directly from the project.
    3rd disk I removed the PopUp menu as I've only done one in the past and figured I would try that as a trouble shooting step.
    So, since everything appears fine Encore I'm really not sure how to trouble shoot this. I wish Apple would support Blu-ray better so I could just open the ISO file in DVD Player like I do when I create DVD ISOs. So much easier than having to trouble shoot by creating coasters.
    If anyone has come across this issue before and has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'd like to complete this project and move on.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well, at this point I'm thinking maybe something is wrong with the movie files output from FCPX even though they play fine in Encore. I noticed that there is a one frame difference between the video and audio file. The video file is 00:38:45:01 and the audio file is 00:38:45:02. I already output the file using Compressor. However, I'm still seeing the exact same time difference between the video and audio file when imported back into Encore. I'm going to rebuild the Encore project from scratch using the movie files output from Compressor and try again. If that doesn't work I'll use 7toX to convert FCPX XML and try importing the XML into Premier Pro and output the movie files that way for Encore. Or, output a master file from FCPX and let Encore do the transcoding.

  • PS3 and Internet Sharing

    Hello all,
    I'm having a strange problem with the internet sharing in general... but basically I have to restart the internet sharing to allow my PS3 to connect.
    My building has a wifi access point that I connect to via my macbook internal airport - works like a charm. I can share that connection with the Ethernet (and hence PS3).. but after each time I restart my macbook, I also have to restart internet sharing... otherwise the PS3 wont connect. As soon as I restart internet sharing all is well.
    Any solutions or ideas would be great.
    Cheers.

    Hi,
    I'm having real trouble hooking up my PS3 in the way that you mention as my Ps3 won't seem to get the connection through my macbook. How did you set up the IP numbers to get it right?
    best regards
    Jonas

  • Setting up PS3 to work through Airport Extreme

    I've checked various message boards and many seem to have this problem but I can't find a clear solution. I have a new PS3, it locations my Airport Extreme network, which uses a WEP password, but when I type in my password it won't accept it. I don't know how to convert my simple password to the ASCII or Hex password it seems to need, and I'm not sure how to reset my Airport so as to start all over. Has anyone else successfully configured their PS3 to Airport Extreme and have any advice for me?

    Launch AirPort Utility, double-click on your AirPort Extreme in the left column, then pull down the "Base Station" menu and select "Equivalent Network Password".

  • WRT54G with PS3 NAT TYPE 3 needs to be changed!

    Hi all,
    I've been trying to change my Nat type from a 3 to a 2. I have a ps3 20gig (sadly) that is directly connected to my laptop (wired). My laptop has wifi and I'm able
    to play games online. The only problem is that I'm not able to invite friends into my party or host any games for Call of Duty 4. My ps3 is set at Nat Type 3
    and I think that's the problem here. I have a Linksys WRT54G router and UPnP is enabled on it. My laptop has UPnP enabled as well. I've tried everything I could
    find, but there's not much info for someone who has a setup like me.
    I setup a static ip for the ps3 on my laptop, and the only ip that will work is 192.168.0.10.

    Your WRT54G is connected to another router (maybe your modem?) which has IP address 192.168.2.1. To get that working you have to configure port forwarding on 192.168.2.1 and on the WRT54G at 192.168.1.1. UPnP won't help you here because UPnP will only configure the WRT but not the router to which the WRT is connected to. Thus you have to set explicit port forwardings (don't know which ones the PS3 requires).
    Otherwise consider setting up the WRT as access point only like this.
    Or find out how to set the modem into bridge mode (i.e. turn off the router in the modem). After that you have to configure the router for your internet connection (usually PPPoE for DSL or DHCP for cable). This way you have the WRT54G directly connected to the internet.

  • Can't open RAW Nikon files (NEF) using PS3 10.0 running 10.6.8 , think there is a conflict with camera Raw plug-in. Can't open raw images in bridge or photoshop.

    I think I may have a Camera Raw plug-in conflict or plug in may be in the wrong place. In both PS3 and Bridge Nikon raw files (NEF) will not open. I've noticed that in photoshop in the pull down menu-about plug-in, I have 2 Camera Raw (s) listed, getting info one is 4.0, the other 4.6.0.30. It appears that my files and .xmp are 4.0 just by searching for 'Camera Raw' either 4. or 4.6 in spotlight. nothing is listed in spotlight under camera raw 4.6, but all my images are listed in the spotlight if I search for camera raw 4.0! I can not open either in Bridge or Photoshop CS3 I just receive the error message 'could not complete this request because photoshop does not reconize this type of file'. any help would this is greatfully appreciated. Thanks

    Well if you have a fairly new Nikon camera PS CS3 will not have the proper version of ACR to support that camera.
    You could use the Adobe DNG converter to convert the NEF files to DNGs or you can update PS to a newer version that does have support for newer cameras or you could buy Adobe Lightroom V4 which also has support for the newer Nikon cameras.

  • Time Capsule will only allow Apple products to connect to internet, PC ad PS3 shows excellent signal from TC but won't allow connection.

    I have a Mac, iPad, iPhone and several iPod touch devices that can connect to the internet through Time Capsule without a problem.  There are times when my work PC and PS3 won't connect to the internet through TC.  There doesn't seem to be any reason why this happens and it just started happening in the last month.  The PC indicates an excellent wireless connection.  If you have any suggestions please put it in very easy to understand terms (I'm not a very technical person).

    Ok.. that is very helpful. What OS is your Mac running?
    Please now take a few screenshots of your airport utility so I can see the setup of the TC.
    But it looks like it is bridged.
    Open the utility and click on manual setup.
    Take a screenshot of the summary page.
    Take a screenshot of the internet tab.
    And the other two tabs there.. TCP/IP
    And DHCP
    Yours will look different to mine.. but there is nothing in them that is needing to be hidden.. it is useless info to another person. I post mine to show it is useless in case it worries you.
    I do need some more info.
    What is the modem you have? Is it also a wifi router. In the list of wireless you took the snapshots of, you have several wireless names.. I want to know which of those are yours??
    The WEP security device is a problem. It is old and near useless.. if you don't own it that is fine.. but if it is yours get rid of it. 
    Can your PC and PS3 connect to the internet via some other wireless?
    It looks like you might be able to simply bypass the TC to connect the PC.
    Sometimes it is easier to solve this problem by using different hardware.. and a secondary wireless AP can easily be plugged into a modem router if that is what you have to provide wireless just for your PC devices.
    What model is your TC.. ?
    Please look at the bottom rubber mat.. there is a number in the top line of the rubber molding.. It will say A1254 or A1302 or A1355 .. those are the numbers for Gen1 , 2 and 3. Gen4 it is on the paper label.. where it always should have been A1409. Please tell me that number.
