Connecting Xbox 360 to MacBook Pro through various TV tuner cards

If anybody has knowledge about this topic, what would be the best tuner card to use to get my Xbox 360 to display on my MacBook Pro? I'm not too worried about the graphic limitations, but I definitely do not want to encounter any lag. Suggestions?

  • XBOX 360 using MacBook Pro monitor

    Is it possible to play XBOX 360 by connecting it to the MacBook Pro? If possible, could someone please tell me how? Thanks

    yeah, but how do you get the dvi into your MacBook? Are there DVI capture solutions? I don't follow capture card technology much, but I would be surprised.
    I just re- read your post, and I think you just misread his question - for the record, that how i read it the first time too, but, he wants to play this on his MacBook screen, not a cinema display. If he wanted to use it on a cinema display, he could just get the dvi cable for the xbox 360.

  • Playing xbox 360 on macbook pro 15 inch retina display with hdmi

    Is it possible to be able to plug my xbox360 into my macbook pro 15 inch retina display with the hdmi cable and then play it on my computer because i have an hdmi cable and dont want to go buy the eye tv for another $150 and if it's not possible does anyone know of another way for me to be able to play my xbox360 on it

    No. The HDMI port on the MBP-R is an output port used to send images to an external monitor, not an input port.
    As far as I know, the only Mac that has ever had a video input capability is the iMac. Some years' models have had the ability to act as a monitor for another computer. I don't have one, but it doesn't look like current iMacs offer this feature (based on a quick skim of the Apple Store pages).

    You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

  • HT4796 Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    Can Windows 7 be installed on my new MacBook Pro, through my network connection?  The disc would be in my Windows desktop.

    I wouldn't recommend installing through a network connection.
    For a Virtual Machine:
    If you have the Win 7 media (DVD), use an app like PowerISO or MagicISO to make an ISO file of the install disc and use that.
    For BootCamp:
    Use the original install media and BootCamp Assistant, to install from your DVD Drive.

  • How can I connect my early 2008 MacBook Pro to a tv through HDMI?

    I was wondering if there is a way to connect my early 2008 MacBook Pro to a tv using an HDMI port. My MacBook Pro has a DVI output. In the past I bought a DVI to VGA adapter and connected it to a TV that had a PC input that took VGA and a 3.5mm audio cable. I was wondering if anybody has found an adapter or cable that takes a DVI and 3.5 mm audio cord and has only an HDMI cord at the other end. I have a new TV that only has HDMI inputs and would like to be able to connect my laptop to it.

    Since you have not identified exactly what MBP you have, but mention DVI, I suspect a cable such as this is what you will need.

    Understand that 2009 MBPs and earlier do not support audio via DVI or minidisplay port.  You would have to tap the audio output port  with a cable such as this:

    I am not endorsing these cable specifically, these are just examples that represent what connections that are required.

  • How to connect two monitors using macbook pro?

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook Pro through which I want to extend the displays to two individual monitors.
    The two monitors should show two different windows which is opened through my macbook.
    I have observed that macbook has only one mini display port through which I connect to HDMI or to DVI ports in monitor.
    So how do I connect another monitor source to my macbook, which ports can help in this situation?
    The monitors I have which can supports HDMI,DVI,VGA and DP ports.
    Could anyone help me on this issue.
    Thanks.

    You can use a USB 2.0/3.0 to HDMI/DVI interface.  You might also consder Thundebolt to HDMI/DVI.
    The MBP 13" will support three screens (two external) and the MBP 15" will support four screen (three external).

  • 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

  • Connecting Mac mini to MacBook Pro retina?

  • MacBook Pro Through Car Stereo?

    Hi,
    I want to run the sound from my MacBook Pro through my Kenwood Excelon car stereo so that I can hear it on the truck speakers.
    I'll first try it with a Bluetooth connection. The BT between my iPhones and the stereo works perfectly, but I've never tried the computer. I figure to pair it and go to System Pref's and set output to BT.
    If that does not work, the Kenwood will also take a USB connection. Can I do that? If I establish a USB connection, is there a sound out preference that will show in Syst Pref's for USB out?
    Thanks.
    sjh
    PS. Here's the full version of what I'm trying to do for those who want more. I've got a small motorhome. It has an entertainment center with speakers connected to the car radio. I want to either stream Netflix or use my Slingbox to watch the video on my MBP screen -- but get better sound by running it through the car radio and the rv sound system.
    The RV is older and I cannot hard wire into the entertainment system from the MBP; so, I'm going through the newer radio.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    You can't pair a Nano with the MacBook Pro and more information is needed about the problem you are having with the Beats Pill and your car stereo. Check the car stereo manual and see if it has A2DP compatibility.

  • How should I connect yamaha HS50m to macbook pro

    how should I connect yamaha HS50m to macbook pro? Does macbook pro with i7 processored have an enough sound card for yamaha studio monitors?or will I need an external sound card or mixer?

    Some mikes have sufficient output to connect to this port, Alexey, but most don't. the solution, if you really want to use this particular mic, is to obtain a small battery or mains powered pre-amplifier to connect between the microphone and the line -in input. Alternatively there are devices which will allow you to connect your existing mic through the USB port. If you have an amplifier with a mic input already you could also use this as an intermediary, though it won't be very portable, of course!
    You may find it cheaper to simply buy either a USB or "line level" mic, though.

  • Help Connect my Mid-2009 Macbook Pro to my new YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual Computer Monitor

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect my Mid-2009 Macbook Pro to my new YAMAKASI CATLEAP Q270 SE 27" LED 2560X1440 WQHD DVI-D Dual Computer Monitor.  I am not having a lot of luck. 
    My machine:
    OS: Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
    Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Processor:  2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    I am trying to connect it using the:
    Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
    DVD-D HDMI cable

    Here is what is happening.
    1. I connect the Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter + HDMI Cable to Monitor
    2. Main monitor powers up like it is trying to display
    3. Laptop Monitor displays second part of desktop
    4. I can never get the Yamakasi to display a picture
    Here is what I have tried:
    1. Different HDMI-D cables
    2. ATLONA AT-DP400 Dual Link DVI to Mini Display Port Converter
    3. Zapping the P-Ram
    4. Powering monitor with laptop closed
    5. Forcing the system to see the second monitor
    The nearest I can figure:
    - The laptop does see the catsleap (it displays resolutions I can set it to)
    I am completely stumped, I was hoping someone could advise me.
    Thanks,
    Don

    Hey Kytarx,
    I found the winning combination this weekend. 
    I tried:
    - Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
    - ATLONA AT-DP400 Dual Link DVI to Mini Display Port Converter
    - Monoprice Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI®, DVI & DisplayPort Adapter
    My experience:
    - Altona didn't work at all, and their support claimed it would not.
    - Monoprice didn't work to Dual DVI, it did work to HDMI (great price I wish it did)
    - Apple Mini Displayport adapter did work, but would only work with certain USB + Display port combos.
    The thing that was tripping me up was that two of the Dual DVI-D cords were bad.  Once I found the working cord, it was easier to find the working adapter.  The experience I did find to be a frustrating / expensive one. However, the Monitor itself is beautiful.
    Hopefully this helps someone else..
    Don

  • How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

    How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

    Use a mini-Displayport-to-HDMI adapter and a standard HDMI cable to connect the computer to the proper HDMI port on your computer — the one that is paired with the separate RCA audio inputs (see the TV's manual for this information). And connect the headphone port on your MBP to those inputs with a cable that has a 1/8' stereo headphone plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other. You'll also need to select the proper HDMI input in the TV's menu system, and you may have to select the headphone port as the audio output in the Sound pane of System Prefs on the Mac (or it may be selected automatically).
