Apple - Please add Xbox 360 support!

Hey, a new update is being released for the xbox this month that adds support for the latest ipods, but iPhone and iPod Touch support apparently isn't supported.
They said this was due to the software on the iPhone, not the 360... that I'ld have to contact you directly.
Do you think this would be possible? There's tons of people on the xbox forums who have the same problems as I.
We all can't play music on the 360 from our Touch or iPhone.
-Thanks.

Apple TV or Xbox 360

I own a Xbox 360 and was wondering if there would be any benefits from buying a Apple TV. I have Netflix on my Xbox but wasn't sure if there was any difference between the two. Any help would be nice. Thanks

If you are only interested in Netflix I doubt you would gain anything by having an ATV. The Xbox 360 has much better graphics performance than the ATV and will support Netflix in 1080p, something the ATV can't do.
However, if you are interested in streaming video from your iTunes library, renting video from the iTunes store, or having access to the extensive collection of podcasts there, then the ATV is the only game in town.

Xbox 360 support?

Is it possible to play music on my 360 through my iPhone? I've heard some people say they can do it and others can't.

Xbox says the mechanism for accessing music on iPod Touch and iPhone is different than that of iPod.
I resent the signs that I see in stores that say iPod=iPhone. My brand new Kenwood deck did the same thing but I had to switch to a data 500 cable and use it as an external disc changer to get it to work. It uses the different folders in my iPhone as discs in the deck.
I was very dissappointed this week when I opened my Xbox 360 this week. Of coure the first thing I wanted to do was plug up the iPhone and get some tunes. I think Apple and MS need to make this a top integrated compatibility priority. Both pieces of equipment have been released long enough to get patched. I think the CD deck realm needs to get looked into also. There are obviously the same problems (iPhone related) in that field.
For now, I am using my Xbox 360 to access the music stored on my laptop wirelessly through Windows Media Player. It was a little trying to set up b/c my network is a mess, but under normal circumstances it would be very easy to do. Xbox 360 does most of the work. Still, I'd love to just get it right off my iPhone as I charge it and play a game.

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.

Apple, please add *links* (in email) to cancel notifications

When I receive email from other forums, there's a link at the bottom of the email to cancel notifications (on that thread).
But when I receive email from an Apple discussion, there's no such link. So, cancellation is a 5-step process:
1. Click link to view that discussion.
2. Click to log in (since I'm usually not presently logged in).
3. Then a 2nd click to actually log in.
4. Then click/hold Safari's back button to go back 2 pages (since logging in doesn't return us to the page originally viewed).
5. Then click "Stop email notifications."
This is just ridiculous. Seriously.
Please modernize and include -- directly within each email notification -- a link to stop notifications of new posts to that particular thread! Please!

It seems that you, too, have misunderstood the purpose of my post.

I want to receive notifications, so I've set my account to automatically receive them.
However, there comes a point (perhaps after you've solved a particular problem, etc.) at which you no longer want to receive notifications on a particular topic.
Other forums include -- in each email message -- a link that, when clicked, disables notifications for that particular thread. But the Apple-discussion email notifications do not include such links. My post is about the lack of such links (and nothing more).

Apple: Please add GPS and non-Nike workout apps to Nano

Apple,
I've bought three earlier incarnations of the Nano, but stopped upgrading after the 4th gen, when the product lost versatility. Among other things, please consider adding GPS capability and the ability to load non-Nike workout apps such as Runkeeper and Edomondo to the Nano. 64 GB would be nice too.
Thanks.

To do what you want the Nano would be the size of an ...iPod Touch. Maybe in 3 to 4 years they could get a functional one down to that size.
The 6th Generation Nano added a much smaller form factor, a touch screen and a clip. The 7th Generation added Bluetooth (a welcome addition for me), added back video and still has built in Nike +.
The iPod Touch is lighter and a bit smaller than the iPhone, you might give it a look. There would be no way to squeeze the features you want into the Nano form factor due to the size of battery you would need.
But you can tell Apple what you are dreaming of: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodnano.html

Apple please add album art (set/unset) to Smart Playlist criteria

Please allow me to define a smart playlist defining all tracks that have album art vs those that don't. I don't think the criteria allows this right now.

BTW it works just fine too, creating a playlist of all your songs that lack artwork.
I agree. I had been meaning to download and use the no artwork script for some time and this topic got me to finally do it. I had no problems whatsoever, although I learned that a third of my tracks have no cover art.

Apple, please make YOURS apps support "flicking"

The fact the the App Store and Calendar have little arrow buttons when I should be able to simply flick to the next page in the list or the next day/week/month in my calendar is pretty pathetic.
You really dropped the ball on these!

Many of us iPad users agree with you. We are not Apple employees or representatives of Apple - simply other iPad users like yourself. Let Apple know how you feel here.

Xbox 360 and Linksys E3000

Hello,
I'm having quite some trouble with the new E3000 and my Xbox 360 Slim Model. I thought that the E3000 had like 4 antennas which should broaden the SSID Broadcast/Wifi Signal. Now when I try to scan for wireless networks on my Xbox360 it can't find the signal the E3000 is broadcasting. The E3000 is on the bottom floor and the 360 is on the first floor. Before this I had a WRT54G Linksys router and that one had no problem getting signal to the Xbox360. The E3000 shouldn't have this problem right, because it has more antennas. Another weird thing is that my laptop, which almost sits next to my 360, has no trouble at all finding the SSID/WiFi broadcast...
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I just want to connect my E3000 to my Xbox 360.
PS: I have upgraded to the latest firmware.

Xbox 360 and Linksys E3000Bad news guys. Whatever you were told about the xbox 360 being compatible with wireless n at 5GHz was probably misleading. Please work through the following link: Work your way through this:- http://www.unofficialguidetolive.co.uk/faqs/114-troubleshooting-and-improving-wireless
Pay attention to the following, and I quote from the above link:
"...The Internal Wireless N Adapter for the Xbox 360 S 250GB
As well as all of the points above to consider you also need to be aware that some Wireless N routers can work at 2.4GHz and 5GHz or both. <<<<The new internal Wireless N adapter will only work at 2.4Ghz>>>> so ensure you have this enabled. It has also been found that in some cases it does not work with WEP and prefers WPA2-PSK (sometimes called Personal) with AES encryption (not TKIP) so in summary for the internal wireless adapter these configureations seem to work best-"
We could have saved everyone a lot of time if the XBOX 360 support would have just admitted this from the start. NO 5GHZ compatibility from XBOX Wireless N adapter.
If there is a way to upgrade the wireless N adapter in the XBOX please post for the rest of us.

Xbox 360 Snap crackle

Iv been searching the forums and?I haven't seen any updated posts on this issue. Has it been fixed ?What is the correct procedure to hook up a xbox 360 to a X-fi elite pro,?with out getting cracking and distortion out of the sound ??This is really driving me nuts ?-Mr. Black

The current Xbox 360 wireless option is not compatible with WPA2. However, either WPA or WEP are.
Taken directly from Microsoft's Xbox 360 Support site:
Note
Some copies of the instruction manual for the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter state that the adapter is compatible with the WPA2 security standard. At this time the adapter works only with WPA and WEP security.

Can Apple please give the option to remove synching video?

Can Apple please add the toggle option for video for iCloud synching. It is eating up all of my space due to the fact that I did not purchase them from Apple.

You can tell Apple at the link below.

Has anyone been able to connect wirelessly their airport or airport extreme with an xbox 360? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you

Hello mikegmalibu...Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Xbox 360 & AirPort Setup
On the AEBS/AX:
- Use the AirPort Admin Utility to check the following settings:

Xbox 360 and apple airport ip address HELP PLEASE!

hey i just got an xbox 360 and i got the wireless internet adapter than microsoft makes to pick up my wireless internet. I have an ADSL ethernet modem that is plugged into my Airport, which is streaming in my house. So on my xbox i got the test for the wireless connection to work. then the test for the IP address failed. I have looked online to find the IP address, but i dont know which one i need (of the computer? the airport? the modem box?) and the subnet mask, and gateway, and the DNS numbers. can anyone help please? i have mac os X if that helps

i think that's what i mean. sorry im so confusing. i have a mac laptop, which is connected to my wireless network at home, which is an apple airport (you know the little white box that plugs into the electrical outlet) which is also plugged into an ADSL ethernet modem box from US Robotics (which is my cable internet). so then i will be able to find the IP of the airport where? network settings? and last thing, if that is the gateway for the xbox, what is the subnet mask, and the actual ip address of the xbox?
also, if this helps, when i look at Network, under System preferences, Airport is the network, and under TCP/IP it says that the IP Address is 10.0.1.2, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the Router is 10.0.1.1

Airport G5 iMac Xbox 360 wirless problem *Please Help*

Hi - I was hoping that somebody might be able to give me a few hints about how to get Xbox 360live to work on a wireless network with my G5 imac.
I want the Xbox running downstairs with the iMac upstairs. I have tested it wired and it works fine. But wireless I cannot get a connection.
Here is what I have:
Sky Broadband connection. I have a Sky wireless router. I have enabled airport on my iMac and have put the relevant info into the Internet Connect window. It indicates a strong signal. I have bought an Wireless Adapter for the Xbox 360 and attached it but it does not seem to pick up a signal when I run the test.
I moved the Xbox to the same room as the iMac to see if distance was the issue but again no connection was detected. This is when I wired it directly to the router to see if it worked this way and it does.
I really need wireless though so please if anybody has cracked this problem let me know.
Cheers
Martin

Since your iMac is able to get a good wireless signal, you know the 2Wire wireless router is working properly. On the other hand, the XBox wireless adapter under the same conditions sees absolutely no signal. My conclusion from this would be that either (a) the XBox wireless adapter is not functional, or (b) you are making some fundamental error in setup of the adapter.
Since this is a wireless networking problem between two non-Apple products, you might see if product support for your XBox wireless adapter can provide further assistance.
