How can i connect xbox to time capsule?

Hi, I am (whilst being shouted at by my 11 year old son), trying to connect Xbox 360 to a time capsule. I tried last year without success, and afer chatting with a bloke yesterday in an Apple store, I thought I would try again. No luck. I've tried inputting every set of numbers and address I can find, but the Xbox, just will not connect. Is there a simple set of instructions that will do this? The forums I've looked at have information that is beyond me. The time capsule is connected to a Virgin media modem via ethernet. The Xbox Live connects via ethernet cable to modem just fine. I would just like it to work wirelessly so I don't have to keep plugging the cable back into the time capsule and rebooting. As an alternative is there a piece of kit that would let both the Xbox and the time capsule remain wired up to the modem? There only seems to be one connector however. Many thanks in advance.

Connect an Ethernet cable from a LAN <-> port on the Verizon gateway to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
Then, temporarily connect a spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to help AirPort Utility "see" the Time Capsule. Once you have the Time Capsule configured and updated with new settings, you can remove the spare Ethernet cable.
If that is not successful, you will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule as follows:
Pull the power plug on the Time Capsule
Wait 4-5 minutes
Hold in the reset button on the Time Capsule and while you continue to hold it in, plug the power back to the Time Capsule
Keep holding the reset button for 8-10 seconds before you release it
Wait 30-40 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
Restart your Mac, then open AirPort Utility to configure the Time Capsule

XBOX 360 on iMac?

Sorry if other people have asked this, but can you play XBOX 360 on an iMac using EyeTV Hybrid? If so, will be able to output HD graphics?

Yes. S-video or composite video only (720x480 NTSC or 720x576 PAL)
If so, will be able to output HD graphics?
No.

Inspire 5200 5.1 - Can it run Xbox 360??

I have the Inspire 5200 5.1 system on my PC.
I can run the Xbox 360 through the PC by running the audio outputs through the 'Line In' port on my sound card. This is probably not 5.1 but it is good enough for what little I use the Xbox.
However I would lke to use the Inspire 5200 direct to the Xbox without going through the PC if it is possible WITHOUT an expensive decoder.
Is the Inspire capable of doing this?
Is it a stand alone speaker system or does it need power from another source?
If I hook the audio out from the Xbox into the 'Front' input on 'Audio Input' will this work?

This should work as the 5200s are powered speakers. However you'll need a phonox2 to stereo mini-plug adapter so you can plug it into your speakers (the green jack on the speakers (Front L/R)).

Can not connect to WiFi on iMac... just started

I have a preferred network t hat all of a sudden I can not connect to on my iMac. The network diagnostics does not even bring up the list of networks. I have 2 other laptops, an iPod touch and another iMac on the network using wi-fi and they are all fine. If Network Diagnostics does not work...how do I troubleshoot?

I would turn Airport off and then turn it back on. You should see your network and be able to log back in. There's also been a number of OS X updates - you might want to get your system up to date as there have been multiple Airport updates.
The other thing you might want to try is resetting (power-cycling) your router.

HT1529 how could i connect a xbox 360 to imac monitor?

i would like to connect my xbox to my imac monitor to use it as a display.

In general you would unplug the monitor from the Mac Pro and then directly connect the monitor to the xBox 360 (with the correct adapter cable, depending on which version of the xBox 360 you have). However, if you don't have permission from the owner of the lab to be connecting and disconnecting cables you shouldn't be doing that. Buy a cheap 1080p TV and use your xBox 360 at home.

Looking for descent, affordable wired router so I can hook up XBox 360-iMac

I just got an XBox 360, and I'd like to use the XBox Live features. Could anyone suggest a dependable, wired router that wouldn't cost much more than fifty dollars? I really have no need to go wireless, and besides I'd have to buy the wireless adaptor for the XBox 360 if I did. There's also usually at least one or two Bit Torrents running on my G5 iMac.
More importantly, I'd like to know if having the XBox Live online would interfere with the bit torrents running on the iMac, and should I expect to see a major decrease in upload/download speed on running torrents?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Visit DealMac and see what router deal they have located. Typically in the Sunday paper you can find several for $20 or less after rebate.

Xbox 360 to iMac, lets finish this once and for all!

Hello Everyone!
New to the forum here and I joint to get a finalised answer to a question I've heard people bickering about for ages! (hopefully the answer will come from someone who has done it/tryed it, not just someone who is going to create a theory of what would work!)
So I want to use my iMac as a screen for my Xbox 360, because, well, it would be awesome!
I have so far heard too many different things, for example, if I have a new 27" iMac (which i do) that its possibly just a single wire, mini DisplayPort to HDMI.
Another thing i have read said, it can only be a single mini DisplayPort to HDMI as long as i have 8GB of Ram.
Another has said I need to get a complete video converter to run through my mini DisplayPort that would cost around 150 pounds.
I'm a student and cant really afford to be wrong other wise I would guinea pig this myself, so what im asking for here is someone to lay the smack down. Which is it, if any?!
Does anyone even know if it has been successfully done yet!? And if it has, to how much success, does it have high lag? Because the guys at AppleCare Support were pretty sure it has been, but they were not allowed to recommend me anything because there is no official Apple fix for it. . . . Hence the reason why i was directed here. . .
Thanks in advance!

The answer is behind Door #3. It is a very expensive proposition.
The two way mini-DisplayPort on the 27" iMac will only accept DisplayPort signaling. So you need a device that has DisplayPort video output, such as a new MacBook Pro which can be attached to the iMac with a simple m-DP to m-DP cable. If you have a device with a DisplayPort video port you can attach it to the iMac with a DisplayPort to m-DP cable. But if the device has any other video output, then you need a video converter to convert the signal to DisplayPort. And most of these converters can only supply 720p to the iMac. One very expensive one can do 1080p.
You can get the converters from Kanex and Atlona.

Trouble connecting xbox 360 to e2000 wirelessly

I have an original Xbox 360 (wifi not built in) and the external wifi adapter. With all previous Cisco routers, I have been able to connect my Xbox successfully and quickly. Now, however, I am experiencing much difficulty.
I have verified I am using the latest firmware for my router, and configured my router like this: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=082ee344b4754044b1ff95fcd78b5305_4576.xml&pid=80&r... in terms of ports. I have also used the Xbox's MAC address to give a static IP address via my router's DNS.
The Xbox can see both my main wireless SSID and my guest SSID but cannot connect to either.

Hi Gammit, lower security to WPA2/WPA Mixed Personal. Set channel to 3,6, or 9 . Make sure firmware is up to date.

++++Xbox 360 to Imac driving me nuts+++

Hi everyone,
New to all this networking stuff really so would love some advice from anyone out there. I currently have my Imac G5 connected via ethernet to my cable modem, this works fine. I also have an Xbox 360 with the wireless adapter. What I would like to do is share my connection from my Imac using the built in airport card to my xbox 360. I am now totally lost because I have tried all manner of things and I'm having no luck whatsoever.
By the way I used to own a Sony PSP (has built in Wireless) and I linked that no problems just be activating Internet Sharing on the Imac.
Any help would be very very very much appreciated! : )
Regards

Imac G5 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8) Help!!

I just recently did this but shared my powerbook g4 connection through ethernet. I'm pretty sure it won't be that different for your situation. Note that the instructions are for the original xbox but I have used these settings for the 360 too.

TROUBLE CONNECTING XBOX 360 WIRELESSLY TO MAC AIRPORT EXTREME NETWORK

Hi, and thanks for looking. Here are the facts in a nutshell.
1. Xbox 360, set up for wireless connection.
2. Wireless network, all apple equipment. Main Base station is the new Airport Extreme, hooked to a Cable Modem (Toshiba), with transmission via Comcast Internet.
3. All wireless connections between Mac computers, and Dell PC's working flawlessly, including multiple printers.
4.Cannot connect to XBox 360 because when attempting to wireless network not recognized. When editing Wireless connection, by manually typing in the Network Name, and the WPA password, still does not work.
5. Incidentally, I have had this XBox connected before,until I purchased the new Airport Extreme Station (the rectangular one). What has changed? For one thing I added WPA security, and secondly, I got rid of a Netgear Router that I had been using for better distance, at the end of the Airport extreme chain. So the equipment is slightly different, and the security is definately different.
So please, someone tell me what I must do to have the XBox connect to a Mac AEx Network, that has WPA security, and then, how do I get XBox to recognize a computer.
Prior to this, without security, and with a netgear router as an ethernetted remote to an Airport Extreme, the XBox could get on the network, and see a Dell computer for programming. Now it can't do any of that. Sorry to be so long winded.
I've tried everything including turning the firewall off the Dell. I even tried putting the Netgear back on the network by ethernet, which then allowed the 360 to log on wirelessly, but, still could not see the Dell, even with the firewall off. Thank you

You should really search for your question in the Airport forum found here <http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=140>. The forum you've posted in is dedicated to Macintosh and Windows compatibility issues. While XBox 360 and Windows are both Microsoft products they are not the same thing.
I think you'll find that many folks with the new Airport Extreme base stations are having compatibility issues with many devices when trying to use any security. The best workarounds are to either hide the SSID and restrict access using the network hardware address while using no wireless security, plug the XBox 360 directly into the station with an Ethernet cable or not use the new Airport base station altogether.
Good luck finding your answer! bill

Xbox 360 to iMac

Hi will if i get the mini DVI to VGA adapter & got a vga adapter for my xbox 360 will i be able to connect the xbox360 and view it through my iMac?

No, the iMac doesn't have any video inputs.
You could use something like the Elgato EyeTV to connect your Xbox, but there would be a lag in the video display and it would not perform very well for video games.

Xbox 360 on Imac 27"

Hello does anyone know how to hookup an xbox 360 through the mini display port. I currently have a mini display to HDMI and i hit command F2 and nothing happens. Am i doing something wrong or should i be using the mini to VGA adaptor? Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The adapters that Apple sells are not for this purpose. They are one directional. They are for taking your video signal from the new iMac to a second display. They will not work in the other direction.
You need a converter for the Xbox 360 that will convert its video signal to mini-DisplayPort. These newly developed converters are about US$150+.

Then you just need a simple mini-DisplayPort to mini-DisplayPort cable to connect the converter to the new iMac.

Connecting XBox 360 Live to Verizon netbook

I purchased an XBox 360 Live for my son for Christmas. I cannot get it to connect. We originally had Verizon Wireless Broadband w/ an internal modem. I went and purchased a Verizon USB760 to get service and also a Cradlepoint Router from Best Buy. Neither of these have worked. Any suggestions?

Thanks. So what would be your advice?
Cable or DSL service, or Verizon FIOS if available.
Satellite will have latency problems as bad as or worse than mobile broadband.
As stated above, mobile broadband has issues with latency and with VERY low monthly usage caps compared to cable/DSL. (Most cable/DSL providers institute throughput caps and not monthly usage caps but that's changing, however most that have caps now have set them high enough that only hardcore torrenters can hit them - e.g. I've heard 250GB thrown around as a number for Comcast.)
*disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.
