Connect Xbox to iTunes over wireless

I have a mac running 10.6.8 connecting wirelessly to netgear wireless router. I also have an xbox 360 connected to the internet. They are on different floors of my house. I'd like the xbox to be able to access my itunes on my mac for music and videos. How do I do this??? Thank you for any help.

Thank you very much, so it seems like my first problem has been solved by the elgato hybrid.
Any ideas on using the imac as a bridging device? anyone had any experience with this?

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.

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

Connecting XBOX 360 to WRT54G wireless network

I have a Linksys Wireless Router (WRT 54G) and I have set up a wirless network with my xbox 360. (sucessfully connected to Live).
I have windows XP and latest Zune software installed and thought it would be easy to connect my XBOX to my Zune. 5 days later (and one hour wasted with tech support) and I am still stuck.
I have enabled sharing in the zune software and it does indeed recognize that a 360 is available. But when I try to connect the 360 it cannot find the PC.
I have closed Zone alarm and windows firewall is not running.
What do I need to tell the linksys router to enable the XBOX to see my PC?
The XBOX help says the following need to be enabled?
Port Name Protocol Scope 2869 UPnP Framework TCP My network (subnet) only 1900 UPnP Framework UDP My network (subnet) only 10284 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10283 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10282 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10281 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10280 Windows Media Connect UDP My network (subnet) only 10243 Windows Media Connect TCP My network (subnet) only
The xbox help tells me I need to enable ports??? If I do this then I am only able to enter the 4th number ie AAA.BBB.CCC.DD What should I enter for DD, 1? Will this fix it?
Please help and put me out of my misery.

well...you need to assign a static ip add on the x-box ( 192.168.1.10 ) . Also , assign static DNS addresses ( from the router's status page )

Problem playing itunes over wireless network

I have a problem with folders syncing between my computer and my audio system. I have a PC and my operating system is MS Vista. The computer has the latest version of itunes on it.
I can play music from my PC thru my wireless network on my audio system, but not itunes. When I look at the file hiarchy on my TV through my Bluray (an LG), the files below music do not match the hiarchy on my computer. The server is recognized and other music and picture files are there and they work fine through what the software calls Homelink. But beneath the Music folder the itunes folder does not show as it does on my computer screen. I have actuated file sharing for itunes on the computer.
I chatted with LG help and they said that I can't make itunes work because itunes does not have something called DINA. I have never heard of this and question this answer.
I would think there is a way to make this work down to the itunes playlist level. If I can't I will have to burn my playlist to a CD and play it in the Bluray and I had rather not have to do that.
Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciate. The path that I have itunes set on on the computer is: Server/Music/itunes.

Can you marked this thread as Finished then please ?

Can't Connect to Linksys Admin over wireless connection

I just purchased a LinkSys WRT54GX2. Setting up the wireless network with my DSL modem was a breeze. However, I have one problem. I am only able to connect to the router admin from the computer that is connected by cable. My laptop can access the admin if connected by cable. However, when I have it connected wirelessly, it can't connect. Is there a particular setting I have forgotten?

They only recommend doing settings wired. Now, I have usually been able to do whatever I wanted wireless, but I consider that a bonus.

Cannot connect to other computers over wireless on my AEBS N base-station

10.5.1
Cannot connect to other computers on network. Can connect to Airport disk, but not my desktop (iMac G5) or vice-versa (Macbook). Can see it on finder sidebar, but clicking on it just "connects" for hours, with no success. Finder-->connect to server does not work with IP or name.local. Tried rebooting, deleting kerberos, deleting .mac certificates, unplugging, prayer and animal sacrifice. No luck. Anyone have any suggestions? Firewalls are both turned off, BTMM turned off, airport on, both connected etc. Console logs are spitting out LOTS, I can post if necessary.

Internet sharing over wireless

Didn't see anyone post this but is anyone else having problems with Internet Sharing over wireless?
Trying to have the macbook connect to the iMac over wireless and use the iMac's wired internet connection. On the iMac, the Airport card is on, and in network preferences, internet sharing is turned on. However, the options for sharing over wireless is grayed out and I can't get into those options to customize it. On the macbook, it doesn't see it in the available networks list to connect.
Am I missing something? Do I need to "create a network" on the imac now? I didn't have to do this in 10.4.10

After much consternation and countless trials I finally have everything back up and working. Here is what I did finally to get it to work. (Note that I am not a network configuration expert - I am only reporting exactly how I have it configured and it works without complaint).
1. I trashed my \Library\Preferences\System Preferences folder and restarted my Mac since I had updated from 10.4 and I wanted to start from a fresh set of preferences. ( I backed up that folder separately)
2. I opened the Network Preference pane and configured my Ethernet connection (connected to my external AirPort Express which I am using as a wireless router to my other computers) as follows:
-Configure: Using DHCP
-IP Address: 192.168.0.197
-Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
-Router: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 192.168.0.1 (grayed out and so I am not sure what this means)
I set these settings by clicking on the Advanced button.
Under the TCP/IP tab I had chosen:
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
(This set the IPv4 Address, Subnet mask and Router)
- Configure IPv6: Automatically
3. On the Sharing Preference pane, I configured the following:
-Share your connection from: Novatel Wireless EXPD (because I have a 3G wireless connection; otherwise I would have chosen the standard Internet connection)
-To computers using: "Ethernet"
And then I turned on the Internet Sharing Service and confirmed in the pop-up dialog that I wanted to share my Internet connection.
4. Using Airport Utility, I configured the Airport Express by first clicking the Internet button to show the Internet Connection page and set the following:
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure IPv4: Manually
- IP Address: 192.168.0.179
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Router Address: 192.168.0.1
- DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
- Ethernet Wan Port: Automatic (Default)
- Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge)
I also configured my Base Station and Wireless with names and Passwords.
I then clicked Update in AirPort Utility and after it restarted everything magically worked!
I think that the problem lay with my original IPv4 settings where I had chosen DHCP rather than Manually hoping that everything would automatically be set as it had worked previously. The clue was that on my MacBook Pro I noticed that the DHCP was not enabled when connected to the AirPort Express. Even my iPod Touch is now connected to the Internet!
If anyone can explain all of this I would appreciate it.

Wireless connection problems with iTunes

After installing iTunes for my PC(using Windows Vista if that matters). Directly after installing iTunes my wireless connection works. Once I start importing my music into iTunes I lose my wireless connection. I can still see the wireless networks but I can no longer connect to any of them.
Does anyone know whats causing this problem. Once I deleted iTunes from my computer my networks started working properly again after rebooting. I tried to download it again and the same thing happened yet again. After deleting agin I am still unable to connect to my wireless conection.

I just saw your post and I resolved this on mine for my wired connection. I'm willing to bet that the issue is the same for wireless. Here's what I found.
Issue:
During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
Resolution:
After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
6. Click OK.
7. Reboot.
Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

My ATV gen 2 won't connect to the internet over a wireless BT home hub 5 network

My ATV gen 2 won't connect to the internet over a wireless BT home hub 5 network. I've recently upgraded to a BT HH5 and now I cannot airplay with my 2011-MBP, and the ATV will not connect to the iTunes store or software update.

Ok, thanks (not sure I know what you mean!). I have seen a solution that tells me to rename the two SSID's? Is that what you mean? All my devices are wireless, and all can connect to the internet except the Apple TV. Now I have disabled the 5GHz channel all devices are on the 2.4GHz channel and all work fine, including the Apple TV and airplay between my MBP and ATV.

Iphone will not connect to iTunes over wi-Fi

My iPhone will not update when i make changes in Outlook or connect to iTunes wirelessly.???

You will probably get better results if you post this question over in the iTunes forum. Syncing with iTunes over wifi has nothing to do with iCloud.

Randomly losing network connection over wireless

Shortly after installing the 10.4.5 software update, my G4 iBook with built-in Airport Extreme card has been losing connection with increasing frequency. Built-in Ethernet use is unaffected. I'm calling this problem thrash-and-drop.
1. When it's losing signal, processor activity goes through the roof. I had Activity Monitor running during a thrash-and-drop. kernel_task CPU consumption goes from under 1% before the event, to over 80% during the thrashing, and back under 1% after the thrashing stops. The activity is so bad the cursor can't be controlled: using the track pad sends the pointer all over the screen or nowhere at all.
2. This has been observed to occur with two different wireless base stations: A Linksys WRT54G and an older SMC 802.11b router. Either router is within 10 feet of the computer. Only one is running at a time. There are no other base stations in range.
3. Another iBook G4 (OS 10.3, Airport Extreme card (not built-in)), sitting next to it, shows no change and its wireless behavior is unaffected.
Initially, this seemed more likely to happen when Safari was loading Flash-heavy pages. And after thrashing and dropping a connection, it was able to reconnect after either a reboot or a five minute sleep. Currently, it can't connect to a base station for more than a minute. Most recently, it thrashed and dropped while I was selecting the base station to use. This is true regardless of the application running. In fact, it will thrash-and-drop when there are no user applications running at all, after a fresh reboot.
I've tried the following things to address the problem. None have affected the thrash-and-drop problem. Admittedly, most of this is random:
1. Back up and delete network preferences in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
2. Turn off IPv6 in System Preferences/Network
3. Back up and delete network preferences in ~/Library/Preferences (com.apple.NetInfoManager.plist and com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist)
Has anybody else seen this problem? I want to blame it on the 10.4.5 upgrade but I haven't seen anybody else complaining about 10.4.5 doing this to them. If there's something I can do to fix this in a software setting, I'd much prefer that to yet another roadtrip to the Apple store.
1.33 GHz G4 iBook Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi!
I have the same problem of randomly losing network connection over wireless, though mine is hardly related to surfing.
I have an external storage drive in which I use for backup of my stuff, and I access the drive via my modem, using the airport. Of late, I noticed that when copying files from my iBook to the external drive, the connection would suddenly drop before the transfer is completed. This began to occur with increasing frequency, particularly when transferring large files.
I have since abandoned wireless connection, and reverted to my trusty cable. Still, I admit that I'm really curious about the cause of the apparent lack of reliability with my wireless connection. Has it something to do with the airport?

Since upgrading to mountain lion my iphone no longer wirelessly connects to my itunes via wi-fi... is there a remedy for this? thanks

since upgrading to mountain lion my iphone no longer wirelessly connects to my itunes via wi-fi... is there a remedy for this? thanks

I am also having the same problem since upgrading to mountain lion. The symptom is strange.
If I connect my iPhone/iPad using cable first, uncheck and then check the wifi sync option, and then disconnect the cable, iTunes will still be able to see the devices through wifi. But if I restart my computer, it will fail again. And I am tired of repeating this exercise.
Anyone has the same problem?

HT2305 when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it

when connecting to the itunes store i get a mess: (itunes has stopped working) all i can do is close the peogram. i was on the phoine with apple today over 2 hrs still cant fix it. unistalled it 3x and in the proper order. reset all internet connection to default setting, turned off virus programs ect. Even the tech at apple by remote access couldnt fix it. use microsoft fix it also no good....\

I am having the same problem now also. It happened after I updated my version. I have NEVER had this problem before as a windows user and have had iTunes for 5 years. So, I would have to say it is an Apple problem. I have not changed anything on my computer. I still have Internet Explorer and I have not even updated windows. The only thing I updated was iTunes. Now, I am not getting any response from Apple and if you call you have to pay for support. What a joke. An iPod costs $400 you would think that after paying that much you would at least get some type of help. This will now be the last time I ever by anything apple.
