Connecting iMac wirelessly to XBox360

Hello All,
I need to find a way to stream video that is on my local network to my XBox360 in which is connected to my Airport Extreme. I use my iMac currently to watch the video but I want to put it on my 50" TV using my XBox. Please help!!!!

Hello sRcAoYo7b0y. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I suggest that you check out Twonky Server.
Another option would be Nullriver Software's Connect360.

  • Can't connect IMac wireless to internet

    Inherited a mint rarely used G5 IMac from a family member.
    Been trying to get the wireless internet connection to work.
    I'm using an Airport Extreme and we are using 4 other computers with wireless connection and they all work?
    When I go to the network connection in the preferences and view all connections available I'm getting about 5 other possible connections except mine?
    Is there any thing I'm missing I've looked under the Apple to see if the wireless card is working and it seems the hardware is working, I upgraded it to Leopard but I didn't try it for wireless connection with it's previous system (10.4).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    my family owns an original iMac G5 (w/o iSight) and has recently upgraded its system to Leopard. i've noticed that it frequently has trouble connecting to the wireless network in my home as well. i have been able to deal with the problem by turning airport off and then back on again in the upper right hand corner of your screen where the wireless connection bars are shown. perhaps you are not experiencing the same problem...?

  • Issues with connecting iMac wirelessly to a Netgear router

    The iMac in question being a 2.66GHz model bought in August 2009 running OSX 10.6.6, and the Netgear Router being a DG834GT. The iMac is being exceptionally temperamental when it comes to connecting to the wireless network. Strangely enough there are times when it will connect fine, but most of the time it will either connect for a minute or so and then drop, or just not connect. When the latter happens it seems like it is giving a different error message every time, sometimes saying that a preferred network isn't available, sometimes saying that the password is wrong (when it isn't), sometimes that the ISP has failed (ISP is Orange) and so on. Even when it says it is connected Safari then seems to think it isn't.
    We also have a MacBook Pro, an Xbox 360 and two Windows based laptops that have all never had a problem connecting to this router wirelessly. Yet the iMac, the most recent piece of technology by far, just can't seem to stomach it.
    Is there something that can be fundamentally changed with the wireless settings that will fix this? Or, in fact, anything that will fix this?

    Unfortunately we are already using WPA (which my MacBook Pro has no problems with), so nothing to change there.
    Interestingly we have just called up Apple to see if they have any ideas for a quick fix, and they suggested wiring it up, which should somehow fix the wireless aspect of it as well. So after carefully moving the iMac and stringing some wires into fairly dangerous positions, it is now wired up. However, upon disconnecting the wire it worked for all of thirty seconds wirelessly before cutting out again. However, I do recall in my mind something about connecting a Mac via a wire first and then fiddling with something to help it work wirelessly? I don't know what that is though, so suggestions are appreciated.
    In the very short term connecting it via a wire works, but really a solution needs to be found asap. If the wireless issue can't be sorted I expect I will have to invest in a very long ethernet cable and run it from the router to the iMac, which whilst obviously not ideal is certainly possible.

  • Connect imac wirelessly, or use direct connection?

    I have a new imac G5 with airport extreme card, and will soon have an extreme base station (havent set it up yet). Can I count on the wireless connection to be as fast as my roadrunner cable direct connection? Or should I connect the imac directly?
    ino, how much slower will the wireless be than the direct ethernet hookup?
    thanks,
    imac G5 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Your AirPort Extreme connection will provide sufficient bandwidth to take full advantage of your high speed internet connection. If you were to do file transfers inside you network (to another computer on the LAN), the ethernet connection will provide much higher transfer speeds to other ethernet connected computers.

  • Connect Imac wirelessly with Xbox 360

    I've got the Wireless Networking Adaptor for the Xbox 360 but I need my Network Settings to connect to my Imac.
    The instruction books says I need the following:
    Workgroup Name
    802.11g/b Network
    Wireless Network Name(SSID)
    802.11a/b Network
    Wireless Network Name(SSID)
    Wireless Security Setting
    Where on earth do I find these?
    Thanks in advance

    Duane:"In the AirPort discussion area it has became clear that this does not work. OS X's Internet Sharing does not properly support the Xbox's attempt to connect to an on-line gaming network."
    Sorry,that is complete rubbish.I eventually worked out all i needed was my WEP key found on router and within 5 minutes I was connected to XBox Live an working like a dream.Also added Connect 360 so I can view my movies.photos and my music transferred wirellessly from my IMAC to my TV via my Xbox.
    FANTASTIC!

  • How do I connect a Lexmark x6570 printer to my iMac wirelessly?  The basic user guides are not helping me and the add printer is not finding my printer...

    How do you connect a lexmark x6570 printer to an iMac wirelessly?  The basic user manuals are not helpful as the printer is not showing up when using the add printer function.  I my printer is working fine wirelessly with my windows laptop so it appears to be functioning fine.  This is my first time using an Apple at home...
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    I am using a Mac with this router. Any ideas how I can set it up to print wireless. Im not a tech person so this gets confusing for me sometimes. 
    Thanks!

  • IMac suddenly can't connect to wireless!

    My iMac suddenly refuses to connect to wireless! It worked fine before.
    Tried everything including resetting the wireless router.
    It always said that my password is invalid... My password is correct!
    Can anybody help me? Thanks!

    I'm having the same problem.  I have a time machine that I use for my wireless router.  I connect wirelessly using my Macbook Air.  It has worked fine for months.  Today, about 4 hours ago, my wireless connection stopped working.  When I connect via ethernet directly, it works.  I know it's not my router, because I also tried a spare Airport Express and that doesn't work either.  I'm going to try restoring the time machine to its factory settings and configure it from scratch to see if that works.  I'll post back with the results.

  • Connecting iMac and MacBook Pro using a non-Apple wireless router

    I use a Belkin wireless router. Is there any way for me to connect iMac and MacBook Pro using the router to share files? I think I read somewhere that I need AirPort Extreme for this, but I'm not sure. Thank you.

    Great resource from Dennis...file sharing, I.e. networking, is a function of the operating system settings and not the brand of router. Using Mac OS X 10.6 on both machines makes it really seamless. Following Dennis's kb article should make the two almost act like one machine.

  • How to connect imac-apple tv

    I'm trying to connect my new apple TV to my imac wirelessly (directly, without a separate wireless router), but I can't figure out how to set up my imac so the apple TV will detect it.
    Any info on how to set up my imac so that it will appear when I search for wireless networks on the apple TV?

    Thanks - that worked, and it is syncing with no problem now.
    As a side note, my imac only has a "g" airport card, not an "n" but video streaming seems to be working fine, even with most 720p Quicktime trailers that I downloaded and transferred to my iTunes library (most played with no problem, but some required conversion, possibly a bit rate issue?)

  • TV no longer connects to wireless internet after installation of Airport Time Capsule

    TV no longer connects to wireless Wi-Fi internet after installation of AirPort Time Capsule.

    I am having a similar problem with a new TIme Capsule. The wifi on the Time Capsule was working fine for months with all devices, iPhone 4s, iPad Air, iMac Air, Mac mini, and vizio smart TVs.  After a recent software update the Time capsule wifi no longer connects to the smart tvs or the iPhones. It still connects to the mac mini, iPad and iMac Air. I do NOT think the software update timing was just coincidental. But I have not found any information or other users confirming a similar problem on the Apple support site.

  • Connecting iMac Keyboard to Macbook Pro while using iMac as external display

    I'm trying to using my iMac wireless keyboad for my macbook pro while my iMac is in external display mode but I can't get the keyboad to connect. I've tried disconnecting the wireless keyboard from my iMac but it won't go into target display mode without the keyboad. Can I used my iMac wireless keyboard with my Macbook pro while my iMac is being used as an external display?

    No, not reliably.  If it's paired with both machines you can turn it off and turn it back on but it's a toss up which machine it will connect with.  If you took it to another room so the iMac didn't see it, you'd have to disconnect the minidisplay port/thunderbolt cable and then it would exit target mode display.

  • Apple tv wont connect to wireless

    Hi bought an apple tv 6th may this year. Followed all instructions etc and worked perfectly.. Could access all packages etc, picked up from all our devices, iphones, ipad and imac.. Now 4 weeks later and wont connect to wireless at all. Also cant be found on any of our devices. Have tried to reset, restore factory settings etc but nothing. Its like the thing doesn't exist.. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I had the same problem. I tried the Express Lane and they couldn't help, so they sent me to the Apple Store. The Genius Bar checked it out and gave me a new Apple TV. Now it works. The one issue with setting up again was that I had to manually turn on sharing on the Apple TV (Settings/Computer).

  • Connecting iMac to PC internet connection

    I am about to purchase the new iMac G5, and I was wondering before I buy it if it is possible to connect my iMac wirelessly, to the DSL connection that is pre-existing on my PC. If so, what hardware would I need? Thanks

    Dan, Welcome to the discussion area!
    If your DSL modem provides an Ethernet output, you only need an inexpensive 802.11b or 802.11g compatible wireless base station.
    If your DSL modem only provides a USB output, you need to replace the modem with one that provides an Ethernet output.
