Connecting my iPod to the XBOX 360

I have been trying to connect and share music from my iPod with my XBOX 360 and when i plug my iPod into the USB port it reads the music but it won't let me play the music. I was looking in the manual for the XBOX 360 and it said that I needed to configure the iPod to play the music but it didnt tell me how. If anybody knows it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx!!

I'm not sure how to connect to the Xbox 360. But if you call 1-800-4my-xbox (1-800-469-9269) they can tell you. Hope this helps.

  • Having lag problems on the XBOX 360 - connecting to WRT160N wireless router.

    Having lag problems when playing on the XBOX 360(wireless connection) after we installed our new WRT160N wireless router. Looking for ideals on how to fix this performance problem?
    Cable Conpany: Comcast
    Modem Model: zoom
    Wireless Router Model: Linksys WRT160N

    A few more thoughts:
    - Changing the channel settings does NOT achieve anything. I manually tried every setting with no success.
    - Changing the encryption settings did not help. I tried "open", WEP and WPA and none of them work.
    - Even when this problem shows up, the xbox360 wireless adapter successfully finds and associates with the wireless network. It even manages to read data from the network - it just does it VERY SLOWLY and disconnects often. This causes extreme lag in xbox live games, which shows up as unpredictable play and disconnects from games.
    - The fact that G-only mode works fine pretty much proves that this problem can be fixed with a firmware change. The xbox360 wireless adapter and the WRT160N can definately talk to each other using 802.11g successfully so there must be some issue with negotiating the correct version of 802.11x.
    - I've considered trying a third-party firmware, such as DD-WRT to see if this fixes the problem. Has anyone tried this and if so what happened?
    If you are seeing this problem, please reply to this thread and say so. If enough people respond perhaps Linksys will fix the problem. Even if you're not registered with this board, registering is very quick and easy so don't let that deter you.
    Thanks

    I have a 30GB video iPod that I purchased in April of 2006. After downloading the AAC upgrade on X-Box live, my iPod is not recognized by the Xbox360. The odd thing is, the Xbox will recharge the iPod, and the Xbox will recognize an iPod Shuffle purchased in April of 2006, and an iPod Nano purchased last Christmas. Any ideas on why the older iPod Video doesn't work?

  • How do you safely disconnect a iPod form a Xbox 360?

    I have a Xbox 360, plugged in my iPod 5th Gen, and it works wondefully well. The tunes are all arranged as iPod interface, ie scroll by album, song, artis etc.
    However how do I safely disconnect? ie on my PC I do a eject through itunes, but as the "don not disconnect" is on the Ipod how do I eject it when connected to my Xbox 360?
    I have exit the music app but done know when to eject?

    no not onthe iPod I mean, I havent got access there, it just shows the normal red sign and "do not disconnect" message on the iPod.
    What I meant was on the Xbox 360 it has the menus (not all) just the music menu

  • Problems with iPod 5G and xbox 360

    Just recently after updating to the newer versions 1.2.2 and 1.2.3, my xbox 360 no longer recognizes my ipod. This kind of bothers me simply because I wouldn't think it would be very hard to make it possible for my xbox 360 to read my ipod.

    This is really annoying.
    I updated my iPod firmware just the other day - and only because iTunes prompted me to.
    Now I've tried to connect my iPod to my Xbox for the first time and...hmmmm...the ipod doesn't show up.
    After trying various things and wasting a lot of time, I've found this post (thanks guys!). At least now I know what the problem is.
    Come on Apple!!! Judging by the number of sites I found talking about the subject, loads of people with iPods connect them to their Xboxes.

  • Does the Xbox 360 wireless adapter even work with the WRT54G wireless router?!!? If so, how???

    I just bought a WRT54G wireless router (Ver 8.0; firmware updated to latest).  I have successfully connected my wireless laptop using WEP security, but I'm at wits end trying to get the Xbox 360 wireless adapter to work.  (It worked just fine with my Netgear router until that router recently died.)
    When I do the "Test Media Connection" routine (you XBox 360 users know what I'm referring to), the Xbox immediately recognizes the Network Adapter and indicates that it is connected to the Wireless Network, but it inevitably fails the next step in the process:  IP Address.  I have the set-up for the IP address to be assigned automatically by the router (which is set for  DHCP Server enabled).
    I have gone around the mountain innumerable times myself and then with well-meaning friends who say try this, try that, try this, try that.  I've had to re-establish my laptop set-up so many times I wanna scream!
    Are the Xbox 360 wireless adapter and the WRT54G even compatible?  If so, what am I missing here?  I'm not too technical and obviously in over my head, but this ought not be that hard.
    Please, please do NOT respond unless you KNOW the answer!  I don't mean to be curt, but I'm over / past "suggestions to try."
    Thank you VERY much for your time and consideration if you can help me.

    I don't think that the X-BOX adapter is not compatible to wireless rotuer .... there are few settings you can try on the router ... Access router setup page ... Please click on the tab "Application and gaming" and click on sub tab "Port range forwarding" 1) On the first line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 88, in end box type in 88, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 2) On the second line in Application box type in "Xbox", in start box type in 3074, in end box type in 3074, in protocol keep it both, in ip address type in 192.168.1.20 and give a check mark on enable box. 3) Now save the settings 4) Once you return to the setup page, click on the tab "Administration" and disable the UPNP and save the settings. 5) Now assign the given ip address on your xbox ip address :- 192.168.1.20 subnet mask :- 255.255.255.0 default gateway :- 192.168.1.1 Please assign the dns address on the xbox primary dns :- 4.2.2.2 secondary dns :- 192.168.1.1 6) Please try to test your xbox live. Hope it works ...

  • Using your MacBook Pro as a Router For the Xbox 360

    Not sure how many of you guys have 360s, but I've written up a guide to use your MBP as a connection point for the 360. Basically it involves sharing your Airport with the Ethernet port. Here goes.
    How to Use a MacBook Pro as an Xbox 360 Internet Hub v.01
    This guide is copyright 2006 Jonathan Ferguson.
    If you would like to host it, email me at the address below.
    All trademarks are copyright their respective owners.
    I am not responsible for anything that happens that may screw up your Mac, 360, Internet, or anything else.
    By reading further you accept full responsibility for any damages or troubles that occur as a result
    of your using this guide. K?
    Welcome! I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and did not feel like shelling out 130 dollars for the
    360s Wireless Adapter.
    Thus I set out to find a solution and it was my shiny new mac that came to the rescue.
    I'm positive this can be done in Windows, but I've not taken the time (yet) to test it.
    I think it's very simple to follow, but I do recommend that only those with patience and a will to learn attempt the setup.
    Also if you don't know how to reset your router, I wouldn't recommend it either. But for the rest, on we go.
    You will need these things for this adventure:
    Broadband Internet Access
    1 Xbox 360
    1 CrossOver Cat 5 (NOT Patch, so NOT the one that came with the 360)
    1 Macbook Pro (the regular Macbook may work, I haven't tested it)
    1 Router with wireless and wired connections or 2 Routers linked together, one wired, one wireless.
    Plug the cross cable into the ethernet port on the mac and the ethernet port on the Xbox 360. Turn both on.
    Go to your system blade on the 360 into the network settings and go to the Sharing area of the
    System Preferences on the MBP.
    On the MBP make sure that your Airport Extreme connection is being shared with the Built-In Ethernet
    (check the box next to Built In Ethernet and hit the start button at the top.).
    Go into Network under System Preferences on the MBP.
    Pick Built In Ethernet in the Drop Down menu. Write down the Subnet Mask and IP Address for the adapter,
    you'll need that later.
    Contact your router by punching it's IP into an internet browser. (I.E: 192.168.1.1).
    This is usually the default IP for any router, so if you don't know what it is, try that one.
    It'll also ask you for the password and username which are usually:
    Login: admin
    Pass: password
    Login:
    Pass: admin
    or
    Login: admin
    Pass:
    Once you're in find the DNS Addresses (DNS 1 and 2)
    (under LAN not WAN if they're different) and write those down. Now it's time to go back to the Xbox.
    In the settings tab you'll find a lot of stuff has been set to automatic.
    This will not help you, so start changing the things to manual.
    Once you get in there, input each piece of information like so:
    IP Address: Have a look at the address of the Ethernet Adapter.
    Copy it digit for digit only make the last number lower than the last number of the Ethernet Adapter.
    (I.E if the Adapter is 111.211.13.5, make the 360 111.211.13.4)
    Subnet: This is the Subnet Mask you got from the Ethernet Adapter.
    Gateway: This is the IP address of the Ethernet Adapter (NOT the address of your router)
    DNS: These are the DNS numbers you got from your router.
    Now, before you allow the Xbox 360 to test the connection, make sure that you have a
    wireless internet connection coming in on the mac, and that you're sharing it with the ethernet card.
    Also, though I haven't tested it yet, keep the Ethernet card on DHCP. Putting it on manual might mess things up.
    Et Voila! Let the 360 run the tests.
    There's one test that'll take extra long to do but don't fret, it eventually goes through and works splendidly.
    I'll update this as I see fit, and feel free to email me at: [email protected] to add/correct/contribute.

    Well that's nice and all, but why not just spend the 50 bucks on a router? Also, why do you need a crossover cable? Modern operating systems do not require crossovers anymore.

  • How do I use the Xbox 360 controller

    Hello,
    As everyone knows the XBOX 360 controller is the definitive controller for Windows gaming.
    I'm working on two projects now.  One in Flash and one in Unreal Engine.  I thought,"Wouldn't it be great to work on three projects at once."
    So the idea came to me that a comedic style hockey game could be made in Flash.  Flash is great for action games, and the P2P networking(thought could have been done better) is just sufficient to make a good multiplayer experience.
    I do not however want an action oriented hockey game without analog sticks.  I've gotten the XBOX 360 controller to work in C/C++ in a Tekken Style Open Wolrd Game, and it was great.  Where do I get the XBOX360 code to integrate them into a flash game?
    ,Jim

    The GameInput API's for Actionscript 3.0. You can get when you download and install the Adobe Gaming SDK, after that you would need to import the SWC.

  • Lo9st my computer. If I connect my iPod to the new will I lose wht is on the iPod or will it sync and put songs on the new computer

    lost my computer. If I connect my iPod to the new computer will I lose what is on the iPod or will it sync ok and transfer the music to the new computer?

    Not unless you choose the Erase and Sync option.  However, you won't be able to transfer content from the iPod to iTunes via iTunes or sync any new content to it until you restore the iPod or choose the erase and sync option.  So if you need to get the contents of your iPod moved over to your PC, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different ways to accomplish this.
