Connect an xbox to a macbook pro?

Is there any way to do it? If so how? Your help is greatly appreciated
When I say connect, I mean use the macbook pro as an output display, for games and what not

use google or look to the right under "more like this"

  • Xbox live to macbook pro

    I was wondering if there was any way i could connect my xbox to my macbook pro which is connected wirelessly to the internet trhoughg a router, and get xbox live to work. It says my IP ADRESS is failing.

    Hi Richie!
    Does your current router not have a built-in hub that you could plug your XBox into? You're essentially trying to connect your XBox to the Internet with two routers (your MacBook and your regular router) in between and this can certainly cause problems. But it's probably not impossible.
    The only way to do this is to enable Internet Sharing in Apple menu --> System Preferences... --> Sharing --> Internet. Since your MacBook Pro only has one wireless and one Ethernet port each you'll have to share from one to the other. However, if you're using the Ethernet port for your Internet connection you'll have to use wireless on your XBox. Does it have wireless? A simple Ethernet hub will not work in this configuration.
    The easiest and cleanest solution is to purchase a router with a built-in hub or a wireless router with a hub. They're relatively inexpensive (less than $50.00).
    Hope this helps! bill

  • How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connector without a usb

    How to connect an external monitor to macbook pro. The monitor has no usb connecter, only a port.

    Most MacBook Pro models have a Mini DVI port, a Mini DisplayPort or a ThunderBolt port for connecting an external display. USB does not have enough bandwidth to support a responsive display connection.
    What model MacBook Pro do you have, by year, CPU speed or MacBook Pro 3.1 designation?

  • How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?

    How do I connect two monitors to my macbook pro?  This question applies to both DVI and VGA, as I might have to work with multiple sets of monitors.

    The MacBookPro only has enough horsepower in the video card for one external monitor.
    If you want two or more, you need a MacPro.
    Or a MacBook Pro and a Remote Desktop controlled MacMini.

  • Why can't I connect to iCloud on my macbook pro?

    Why can't I connect to iCloud on my macbook pro?

    Not sure what you've tried so far to connect. But, make sure you have an Internet connection and log into iCloud with your Apple ID/password from System Preferences/iCloud.
    If the OS X you're running is prior to 10.7, you won't be able to use iCloud as this feature was added to OS X beginning with OS X Lion (10.7).

    hi, i bought a irig to connect my guitar on my macbook pro 2012, but when i use the irig in my mac, it doesnt recognize, so i cant choose it on preferences of sound, what can i do?  (the sound of my guitar goes by IRIG but I can not hear due to feedback and when I try to record another track on the garageband, the sounds recorded on the new track is catching the sound of another track recorded)

    Turn the internal mic level off. Use headphones as monitors.

  • Trying to connect Canon MD101 camera to MacBook Pro

    I am trying to connect my Canon MD101 video camera to my MacBook Pro so I can get the videos off it.
    I have connected the camera and laptop using a 9-Pin to 4-Pin firewire cable: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001IUM20C/ref=pe_385721_37038051_pe_217191_31005151_ 3p_M3T1_dp_1
    You can see the connections in the 2 pictures below.
    When I plug in the cable the camera does not appear in Finder or on the Desktop or anywhere that I've looked. I could succesfully connect the camera to my old laptop using a 4-Pin to 4-Pin firewire cable, but my MacBook Pro doesn't have a 4-Pin port.
    Does anyone know how I can connect my camera to my MacBook Pro? Am I using the wrong cable or is it just not possible to make this connection? The camera is quite old, bought it in 2007. Any help is appreciated!!
    Rob.

    Hi Bob. Yes, I did get it to work and I can now get my videos off the camera and onto my laptop. I use the same cable that i was talking about in the original post.
    The camera has to be plugged in to the laptop and turned on. I have my camera set to 'Play' (The power switch on the camera gives a choice of 'Play', 'Off' or 'Camera'). I then open iMovie. In iMovie I go to 'File' then 'Import Media'. A window called 'Import' should open up and then you just click the 'Import' button in the bottom right. I hope this works for you. It's pretty simple, I was just surprised that the camera doesn't appear in Finder.

  • Help Connecting Older Sony HandyCam to MacBook Pro

    I have an older Sony HandyCam which I have not used in years.  Trying to connect to iMove 6.0.3 and can not get the camcorder to mount so I can import.  Using USB connection since my MacBook Pro does not have firewire.  Help?

    Hi
    What Sony HandyCam do You have ?
    Is it a miniDV tape Camera - if so it only can connect via FireWire.
    What MacBook Pro - Do You have ? - Never seen one without FireWire - but on later models there are only a FireWire 800 connector.
    MacBook Air and some MacBooks don't have any FW-connector - but MB Pro used to have it as far as I know.
    If it has a FW800 - connector - then You need a FW 4-pin to FW-800 Cable - the FW400-FW800 adapter is not my favorite solution.

  • After connecting my iPhone to my Macbook Pro to download photos to my phone, my pages application is now gone from my computer. The icon is still in the dock. What happened and how do I get it back?

    After connecting my iphone to my Macbook Pro to download photos to my phone yesterday, my Pages application is gone from my computer. The icon is still in the dock. What happened and how do I get it back? Its not in my trash or anywhere else.

    The other 2 applications open like normal. All three give me info.
    Pages     ver.4.1          265.8MB
    Numbers ver. 2.1          89.5MB
    Keynote ver. 5.1.1        238.1MB
    They all list Apr 3 as the last time opened. That was when I upgraded to Mavericks. I certainly used pages and numbers since then as I have alot of my work files on this computer?
    Just very odd. I did find my original iWorks disc from when I bought the computer. I'm assuming i can reinstall it. Will try that. Thank you for all your help. Would still like to know what did happen?

  • Help! My Canon MG5520 printer is apparently not connected to my late 2013 MacBook Pro!

    Help! My Canon MG5520 printer is apparently not connected to my late 2013 MacBook Pro! I have had this printer a few months and everything has been working fine until today. I did I have to turn my wifi router on and off this morning, so I think that might be it. I'm not extremely tech savy, so if anyone could lend a hand, I would appreciate it!! I've tried unplugging it, turning it on and off again, quitting it my from laptop, nothing works. Do I need to reconnect it to the wifi? How do I do this? I turns on fine and doesn't give my any error messages, it'st just my laptop that says it isn't connected. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

    Thanks for providing complete information.  It seems like you've ruled out faulty docking cable, bad USB port, and software issue on the new Mac.  And since the shuffle still works fine on the older Mac, it's not a problem on the shuffle.
    Some things to try...
    Connect the MacBook to its power adapter, so that it's not running the battery power.  If any other USB devices are connected, try connecting the shuffle as the only device, to a direct USB port on the MacBook.
    If you can keep it connected for long enough, go to the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes and set it to Enable disk use (and Apply).  This will keep the shuffle's disk mounted continuously, instead of iTunes unmounting the shuffle's disk when not syncing.
    If you happen to have an old USB 2.0 hub that has its own power supply, connect the shuffle through the hub to see if that make any difference.  The new Macs have USB 3.0, so if that's the cause, maybe a USB 2.0 hub in between can act as a "buffer" and make it work.

  • I want to connect my ps3 to my macbook pro wirelessly.

    I want to connect my ps3 to my macbook pro wirelessly, my macbook pro is connected to the internet via ethernet.

    OS X offers a feature known as Internet Sharing. With this feature enabled, the Mac Pro would perform as a "software" router. If the Mac Pro has built-in wireless (AirPort), you could then use this feature to share the Mac Pro's wired Internet connection via AirPort to the PS3.
