APPLE 30 inch ACD and XBOX 360

Hi, I haven't yet bought the Xbox 360, but wonder if anyone could tell me if its possible to adapt my 30 inch screen to an Xbox 360? Is there, or will there be a special adaptor or something, or will it just fit?
Thanx in advance
Pete

Osharu, I wondered if you managed to get your Apple monitor to work with your Xbox 360?
I have tried numerous things like buying gender changers and cables and nothing will work with the 30inch, it just will not comply. It seems to me its just not able to convert the appropriate signals. I even phoned Apple, they were useless and I also phoned Xbox people and they were useless too.
I bought this:

and this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9701505659&rd=1&sspagename= STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
and this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=9701507959&rd=1&sspagename= STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
and of course this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8269589300&rd=1&sspagename= STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
Nothing gets the 30inch running with the 360.
Now I'm told there are different DVI connectors with different pins, maybe I've overlooked things.
Looks like I may have to buy a high Definition telly when I can afford one.
Regards
Pete

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?!?!?

Internet Routing a limited-access PC to my iMac AND xbox 360

Hello All,
I have a company work computer (PC) at home which does not have administrative access, however, I've been able to download software like firefox and save it to my desktop only.
Next to this PC, I have my iMac. On the other side of the wall, is my tv room with our xbox 360 which is really a powerful online gaming console.
I have been frustrated in the past in routing an internet connection to be shared with the PC and iMac. And now I'd like to share the internet with the 360 at the same time. I've had to share the internet "cave man" style by unplugging my Comcast Modem, unplug the ethernet connection, reconnect the ethernet from whichever system I want internet on, and then plug in the power.
I have tried many times to make this work but have been unsuccessful as I think it's tricky to make the PC and iMac work together. The IT people at work say the iMac has it's own IP number and I don't know if that's prevent the network from working. I've been trying to research the "how-to" and came across something about a "DHCP" but I don't even know if that's my issue.
I'm reluctant in buying an airport router from Apple because it's not 100% refundable if the packaging is open.
If you can help, please teach me how to do this. A huge thank you in advance.
Thank you!

By default most routers do not use the MAC address for distributing connections, but they can be configured to do so. Modern routers' security settings can be configured to allow access only to machines whose MAC addresses have been entered into the Include list. This creates a "private" network only accessible to those whose MAC addresses have been added to the list, and prevents others from gaining access to the network. Used together with passwords and firewalls they provide effective barriers to prevent unwanted access to the network. Using the MAC address is a good way of securing a wireless network from access by users "outside" of the local network.
The mechanism used to share an internet connection is called NAT (Network Address Translation) that is used to "map" a real IP address (the one received by the modem from the ISP) to multiple devices. The actual assignment of the local IP numbers is usually done by the DHCP server in the router (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.) The DHCP server obtains all the IP parameters required by connected devices so they can communicate through the router - the important ones being the Gateway IP, real IP, network mask, and the local IP.
In theory a router makes it possible for multiple device such as a Mac, a PC, an XBox, and a printer to all connect to a local network and to communicate with each other. I don't use any gaming machines like an XBox, but my home LAN is setup using an Airport Extreme Base Station that is connected to my cable modem and to a high speed network switch. I have three computers, two network printers, and a SlingBox currently connected in the network. The latter connects wireless from an Airport Express. In addition to the devices normally connected there are two other laptops that may connect wirelessly when needed. I have a second Airport Express in the house that is used to help extend the network because my house has plastered walls with metal laths that tend to reduce wireless signal strength.

20" plastic cinema and xbox 360?

hi all,
i'm currently running two 20" ADC monitors on my g4. i have an alchemyTV card to capture video and also play xbox/ps2/cube thru svideo.
on tuesday i add an xbox 360 into the mix. the reviews that i have been reading all say you need an hd set to really appreciate this new machine. in about six months i'll be adding a plasma but in the mean time, is there anyway to get the 360's VGA, component or D-Terminal HD cable to run on a 20" ADC display?
here's some links to the cables at lik-sang
D-Terminal HD (cleanest signal, preferred)
http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=319&products_id=8043&
VGA (easiest? would dr.bott's vga extractor work?)
http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=319&products_id=7774&
component
http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=319&products_id=7772&
any input is greatly appreciated.

I was wondering about that too? I have a clear 17' ADC with a Apple G5 Dp 1.8(8 slots). I know it'll look good on our monitors but how can we do it w/
vga's. I also hear X-box will sell a s-video cord soon.

Ps3 and Xbox 360 already asked many times but no solution works

Hi,
first of all I'd like to share with all of you my real disappoint for having bought this Airport Extreme Base Station. I really hope that someone at Apple will read my post and come to my house because I would have just a few words to tell them.
After 4 years of proficuous cooperation my Netgear WI-Fi router left me and I immediately thought to replace it with an Apple product just to be sure that it would have been easy to install and on top of performances.
I chose the Airport Extreme which is much more expensive than quite all the other same product but I didn't care about it because I would have brang home an excellent product.....or...at least I thought it !
Once in my room the soap opera began. I'm not a genius but I consider myself a medium skilled user and, in any case, even it is not my real job, I configured many bigger LANs than my personal ones and I never had such kidn of problem.
I read many posts where people were asking for information because they couldn't connect their Airport Extreme to their PS3 or Xbox 360 but I never had such kind of problem. It really worked immediately and both consoles worked in few moments.
My REAL problem is that both of them are terribly slow and I can't do anything online. I can't see streming videos, I can't play online and I can't neither play videos that are on a LAN DLNA server !!!!! It takes about 35 seconds to play a video and some times it has to stop for empty buffering reason. This is really unacceptable.
I tried so many configurations and nothing changed and I also took a look at some guides but they had been written with old firmwares so they are quite unuseful for me.
After having asked a friend of mine to give me his router (a Netgear ones) for some days I finally made myself sure that the problem is the Airport Extreme.
It also has a very poor signal because my iPhone has difficulties to keep the connection in areas where my old router worked fully.
If only I could turn back time I'd never buy it again but now, having spent to useless my money, could you please let me know a working configuration for the latest firmware 7.4.2 ? I tried to use the previous firmware but I have the same problems.
There is only a wall separating the Airport Extreme from the PS3 and Xbox and both of them get a 100% of signal but I really don't know what to do.
Thanks for all the help you could provide me.
Bye.
Christian

Sorry but I have no way to measure the actual throughput for any of my devices (I have 2 Xboxes which have the same problem and even my iPhone suffer of a bad connection).
In any case I really can't understand why the connection is so bad. I can even get in touch with my ISP to ask them if there is some problem with the connection (maybe a coincidence and the Airport Extreme has nothing to do with it ?????) but the facts remain: even my DLNA server and PS3 connection is slow and I can't clearly see the movies I have in my intenal LAN and also the iPhone show a poor connection to the Airport Extreme and it is because of the Extreme for sure.
I really don't know what to do.

Airport Extreme Base Station and XBOX 360 Compatability?

Hi There,
I'm looking for some advice please.
I have just ordered a AEBS as I have been told that the Belkin N1 wireless router that I bought last week is incompatable with my macbook. I have read reports that the AEBS doesn't connect with the XBOX 360. These reports were from a while ago. Does anybody know if this has been sorted on the versions shipping now?
Thanks

What you mean the router is incompatible? Is supposed to work regardless of the brand.Apple uses "n" at the 5ghz frequency (ala "a").Everybody else uses 2.4 ghz.and still you can connect because is b and g frequencies.
I don't know if the n speeds can be accomplished at 2.4 ghz.A friend has alinksys draft n router and I connected fine.
Regarding theABSE & 360: if it is the "n" one you can use it with xbox live I'm using it plugged to the base station.I resetted my network settings in the 360 and it worked after that(before I couldn't go online).

Airport Extreme Base Station and Xbox 360

Can someone please help me figure out why every time I turn on my xbox 360 I have to sign-out of my profile and run the connection test? It always works fine and I can sign in to Xbox Live after that, it just requires me to go through two extra steps whereas it usually signs right in. HELP! Thanks in advance.

so, what did you do to fix it?
simply for the fact that if I hook up my old linksys (which I don't want to HAVE to do) I no longer experience the problem, I can't agree that the problem is the 360. I could agree that neither MS nor Apple designed one with the other in mind and that could be the problem I guess, if no one can help, guess I will just hook that nasty linksys back up.

30-inch ACD and iMac won't go?

I have a 30-inch ACD which I have run for a couple of years from a G4 Powerbook. Very good, no problems. Now I want to semi-retire the Powerbook (keep it for the road and home use rather than office). I was thinking the iMacs look to have the power I need for the office, plus they would work as a second screen, with the 30-inch as the main screen. I do print and web graphics but very little video so I don't really need a Mac Pro.
But today I went into my local Apple reseller and was told the iMacs won't drive a 30" ACD as a second screen. They did a poor job of explaining why that is, when the iMacs have 256Mb graphics against my PB's 128Mb. Is it this to do with the dual link thingy, and if so is there a way round it? (you'll have realised that like my local reseller, I don't really know what I'm talking about here). Hoping for one-eyed person to lead me out of here...
Steve

The 30" display needs dual-link DVI to run at full resolution. The only current Macs with dual-link DVI are the MacBook Pro and the Mac Pro. There is no way to add dual-link DVI to other models.

Airport Express with BT Home Hub and Xbox 360

Hi,
I know this is kind of an out there question, but im looking into buying an airport express and i was wondering if there was a way that the Airport express could connect to my existing wireless network (BT Home Hub) and share that internet connection over ethernet to my xbox 360.
My xbox is in another room and i cannot connect it to the router. I have been reading about WDS and client mode but it all goes over my head. can anyone explain if this is possible with the airport express even though i dont have an apple base station?
Im also wondering if Airtunes would work for my speaker system. Any help is appreciated!

Welcome to the discussions!
"i was wondering if there was a way that the Airport express could connect to my existing wireless network (BT Home Hub) and share that internet connection over ethernet to my xbox 360."
Possibly. You would need to check to see if the BT Home Hub was compatible with what is called ProxySTA. Otherwise, the ethernet port on the Express will not function.
WDS would not be compatible with your BT. Even if it were, the wireless network bandwidth would be reduced by 50%. Not what you want for gaming.
Assuming your BT is a router with ethernet ports, you absolute best connection for any application, but especially gaming is an ethernet cable.
If this is not feasible, look at ethernet power line adapters. One adapter plugs into the AC socket at the router end and the other plugs into an AC socket near the 360. The adapters use the AC wiring in your home to transport the ethernet signal. This is almost as good as a straight ethernet cable and far better than wireless for gaming.
The Express would be able to join the wireless network of the BT router for use with AirTunes.

Please help: connection issues (ATT, Time Capsule and xbox 360 live)

I am having near constant issues with my home network, so I am hoping to tap in to the collected knowledge of the internets to help sort things out.
Main issue: daily/hourly internet disconnection. Now, my 360 wireless adaptor can't even see the network. Ugh. Basically, I am hoping someone could give me the "best" configuragtion (ie settings for network, Time Capsule, 360 and/or wireless adaptor) for my current set-up.
My set up:
LinkSys modem from ATT (in bridge mode)-->
Apple Time Capsule (router) -->
Mad Catz 360 wireless network adaptor -->
Xbox 360
I have spent some time looking through the forums but keep running into conflicting recommendations and nothing I have tried so far seems to have helped. Thanks (in advance) for the help.

So, you must have somehow reconfigured the 2wire to perform as a simple modem, even though it is a full fledged modem/router combination. I've see the 2wire, but never configured one, so I can't offer a lot of help there.
Was there a particular reason why you configured the 2wire as a bridge when you could have simply configured the TC as a bridge to work with the 2wire? In other words, the 2wire would do the PPPoE service along with DHCP and NAT.
Maybe you tried it this way and something didn't work?
We've seen a number of posts from users who are having issues with the TC doing the PPPoE service. I just wonder if you are not betting off letting the 2wire do what the ISP intended it to do.

Networking my imac and other pc, laptop, vonage, and xbox 360 AAAAAAAAAAAH!

I posted this in the iMac intel based part before I realized it was not the iMac I have. Oh keepers of the board, I apologize.
Here is my dilema:
I need to find a way to make my iMac wireless and don't know what would be best for my set up. I have cable broadband through a rca router, which then hooks up to my vonage phone device, which then connects to my linksys WRT150N which has an emachines pc through ethernet and a sony laptop wireless connected to it. I want the iMac, which is downstairs to be hooked up to the internet wirelessly if possible and my son also has a wireless adapter for his XBOX 360 that he wants to use as well. I know this sounds tres' complicated and I have given lots of information here but if anyone knows what I should get for this situation, I would be most appreciative! Airport of some sort? Third party stuff that's compatible? I am so confused! Would a better router be the answer? and a wireless thingee for the iMac?

Simply connect the RCA modem to the Linksys router. The iMac, Vonage, PC laptop and XBox will then connect wirelessly to the Linksys. To make the iMac G4 wireless purchase the Airport Extreme card from Apple:http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=M88 81LL/A

AirPort Extreme and xbox 360

How do I open NAT on 2013 AirPort Extreme 7.1 for xbox 360 connection?

Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers ... so there is no guarantee doing this will get Open NAT status for Xbox Live!
Basically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live! on-line game that you want to play. As such, you basically have two options: 1) Create a DMZ (Apple calls this a Default Host) for the XBox or 2) Configure the AirPort for Port mapping to open the required ports to allow Xbox Live! access ... or 3) Use a compatible router.
Option 1 - Create a DMZ
AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Edit > Network Options
Enable default host at: <Enter the IP Address for the XBox>
Option 2 - Configure Port Mapping
The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:
UDP 53
UDP 88
UDP 1863
UDP 3074
TCP 53
TCP 80
TCP 1863
TCP 3074
To setup port mapping on an AirPort base station, either connect to the AirPort's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the base station's LAN ports, and then use the AirPort Utility, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Xbox 360.
AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Edit > Network tab
Click the "+" (Add) button to enter a DHCP Reservation.
Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
Reserve address by: MAC Address
MAC Address: <Enter the MAC hardware address of the Xbox or the MAC address of the wireless depending on how you connect the XBox to the network.>
IPv4 Address: <enter the desired Private IP address you want to assign to the Xbox>
Click Save.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
While still on the Network tab:
Click the "+" (Add) button under the Port Settings dialog box.
Description: <you must enter a description here; it can be anything you want>
Public UDP Port(s): 53, 88, 1863, 3074
Public TCP Port(s): 53, 80, 1863, 3074
Private IP Address: <enter the DHCP Reserved IP address for the Xbox you created earlier>
Private UDP Port(s): 53, 88, 1863, 3074
Private TCP Port(s): 53, 80, 1863, 3074
Click Save
Click Update and allow the AirPort to restart.
