Connecting your PS3 to your 27 inch iMac

Hello! I am in need of assistance. I have my ps3 connected to my new 27inch iMac via the Belkin HDMI to Mini DisplayPort converter. I can see the picture and video fine from the iMac screen but all I am getting is feedback from the speakers! I tried connecting external speakers but there is still feedback! How do you solve this problem? Are there settings on the ps3/iMac i need to change? Do I need a different type of cord?
FYI I also connect my rogers HD box and that sound and video works perfectly; i only have issues with the ps3!
Please help. thanks!!

Hi E
Ram is the only thing that is considered user upgradeable,

order the iMac with an SSD, and then upgrade the memory yourself with third party ram.

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by this - do you mena connect to the Mac to access streaming media or perhaps you were wondering if the AppleTV can behave as a wireless extender to give network access to the PS3 - it can't.
    If you are looking for media server solutions there are several available that run on Mac, some free some commercial.

  • Connecting a PS3 or Xbox to iMac

    The display on the 24" iMac is essentially equivalent to an HDTV. Is there a way to connect a PS3 or Xbox 360 to my iMac? I am a new switcher from the world of PC's, so I am totally clueless when it comes to this stuff. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi Guy's
    EyeTV Hybrid also comes with a break-out cable for composite video and S-Video, enabling you to connect a set-top box for premium channels, digital cable or satellite.

  • How can I connect an external monitor to the new 27 inch iMac?

    I have an old PC monitor that I want to connect to my new 27 inch iMac, it's the latest edition, the one that doesn't have any mini display ports.
    All I have are four USB 2.0 ports and two Thunderbolt ports. No mini display port of any kind. So is there an adapter for me? My old monitor can use either VGA or HDMI and I'm not really fussed which one I use. A link would be most helpful, surley that are more people with the same problem.

    If the monitor supports vga and hdmi you probably what to use the digital hdmi over the analog vga.  You need a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter.  For this application mini-displayport will work when plugged into a thunderbolt connection (TB is sort of a superset of mini-displayport, the plugs and sockets are physically compatible).
    Here's examples of each kind of adapter:
    Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt® to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    Mini DisplayPort | Thunderbolt to VGA Adapter

  • WRT54G reboots when connecting to PS3

    Hi Guys,
    I have a strange problem with my wireless connection to the PS3. The description is a little lengthy so kindly bear with me.
    I bought a WRT54G v7 (UK) router especially so I can connect to my PS3 wirelessly. I've even upgraded to the latest router firmware 7.004 and I have also upgraded my PS3 firmware to the latest 1.93 version.
    These are my settings:
    Router IP: 192.168.1.10
    PS3 settings (Static IP assigned)
    IP address: 192.168.1.55
    Subnet: 255.255.255.0
    Default Router: 192.168.1.10
    DNS1: ISP's DNS (I've read that I can use Router IP in this field)
    DNS2: ISP's DNS2 (I've read that this can be left blank)
    On the Router, I have no wireless security enabled (no WEP, no WPA, no Mac Filtering). I have UPnP enabled. And I haven't tried port forwarding
    On the PS3, in the security option (Disable, WEP, WPA) i chose the Disable option, MTU is set at Auto, no Proxy, and UPnP is enabled
    As you can tell, I've chosen the manual method to connect to the PS3 because in automatic, the connection test fails at the Ip address check itself.
    At first, The IP test would pass but the connection test would fail, telling me that it was a DNS error. After several attempts, the test passed and I was able to connect to PSN. I created an ID, browsed the store and even started downloading a Demo.
    After being connected for a couple of hours, I suddenly disconnected. Then when I tried signing in to PSN, I got an error.
    Now here's the real problem. When I tried the connection test under Settings, the IP test Succeeded, the Connection test Succeeded, but the moment the PSN test begins, the router restarts and the PSN test fails. Its almost like the router is not allowing my PS3 to access the internet although all the connection tests are successful.
    Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening? Any help would be appreciated
    Regards
    Sam

    Hi ,
    I also have the same problem as you. Then I tried to disable uPnP from your PS3 and your Linksys router. Then it's work normally.

    Hi
    Thanks this has helped me solve the problem.
    I used the Outlook Anywhere connectivity tester you suggested. Selected Outlook autodiscover.
    It told me that it could not resolve things on any of the 4 tests.
    I saw that using the last test "Attempting to contact the Autodiscover service using the DNS SRV redirect method", was the only one likely to work in my case.
    I had already changed 3 entries in dns to point at my DDNS address but this had not worked, from the errors I could see that it was just the certificate name not matching so I changed the DNS entries for Autodiscover, autoconfig and _autodiscover._tcp
    to be webmail.domain.com which is a CNAME to my ddns address for the broadband router, which in turn forwards ports 80 and 443 to the exchange server for owa and activesync access. I got an error message saying that I had an illegal entry in my SRV record
    as a CNAME is not allowed, but it saved the change anyway.
    I reran the test and it worked.I can now make new outlook clients attach teo exchange.
    Thank you, after 8 hours yesterday of trying to reolve this I suddnely got it to work on one laptop but the other still would not and had lost track of what I could have changed so had no idea what actually made it work.
    Thank you for your suggestion.

  • TS3775 can i connect my ps3 to imac 27 inch

    Is it possible to connect a PS3 to the 27 inch imac computer?

    I'm also looking for the same thing, the PS3 has a HDCP in the HDMI that prefents any normal capture card to work in full 1080p HD. A couple of my friends have a HDCP stripper but i feel that almost if not illegal.  One way I saw on Youtube awhile back was a guy using a HDMI Splitter from one male to two female and ran one into his pc and the other into his TV. I then decided to order myself one to see if it actually works, Im suppose to get the package within a couple of days but ill let you know if it actually works, also here is the youtube video that I watched that gave me the idea, hope this helps!  (if you find out a quality way to record gameplay and cheap please let me know as well im still trying to find a way how)  Youtube vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo0DL2itV3w

  • Connecting a VCR to your iMac

    Am I hallucinating or do I remember reading that you can connect a VCR to your iMac and capture VHS video to your hard drive and then create a DVD using a video editing program?? Is this even possible?

    The issue here is that you have a an analog recording device (the VCR) and a computer that will only accept a digital video input. Therefore you need a way to convert the analog signal to a digital signal. There are a few devices which can do this. One of them was linked to in an earlier post. There are some others but all of them cost around $200.00. Your Sony camera will not do it as it is not a digital camera but also uses an analog tape and has analog outputs designed for hooking it in to a TV.
    Your choices are to buy a device, like the ElGato one to convert the signal or to buy a digital camcorder. I believe another company that makes these devices is Canopus. Other than that you could pay someone to convert the tape(S) for you. Depending on how many you have that may be more expensive than buying the conversion device that you need.
    If you only have one tape maybe you could borrow a friends digital camcorder to do this one time.

  • Does your 21.5-inch iMac creak when you turn it on?

    I have a Mid 2010 21.5-inch iMac. When I wake it up, having left it in Sleep mode for a few hours, it creaks and pops. These sounds clearly come from inside the iMac, so I would imagine they're the sound of the metal (or perhaps plastic components) heating up and expanding as the computer warms up.
    Has anyone else noticed this with their 21.5-inch iMac? The sounds are actually quite loud, and not at all subtle or easy to miss.
    My iMac didn't do this back in November 2010 when I first got it, but it does now (May 2011).

    Hi Reuben,
    Could it be the Superdrive noise, or is it separate of that? I have noticed that this iMac's drive makes a different sound upon wake-up than my older iMac or my newer MBP. The mechanism is clearly different in the new one so the sound is different as well. Just wondering if that is the noise you are hearing or if it's in addition to that...

  • 2009 24-inch iMac 3.06GHz (EMC no. 2267).   I don't get any audio when connecting my Sony HD TV to my iMac via mini DisplayPort. Is there a fix or hardware upgrade?  I'm using a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable w/ audio support.

    You can connect the audio from your iMac to your TV using a mini jack (like headphones plug) to rca (regular red and white audio connectors used on every TV,DVD, etc) cable.
    On your TV, you need to be able to set the audio for the HDMI input you will use to "analog" and connect the rca end of the cable to the analog inputs on your TV.

  • What cable do I need to connect my 27 inch iMac to my Cinema Display

    What cable do I need to connect my 27 inch iMac to my Cinema Display to have two displays?

    It depends on what type(s) of video input you have on your TV. If you've an open HDMI port on your TV, you can use a Thunderbolt (Mini DisplayPort) to HDMI adapter and it will carry the sound also. See -> here.
    Good luck,

  • Connecting a PS3 to my IMAC G5

    Anyone knows if it is possible to connect a PS3 to an IMAC? My assumption is that I could connect it if I could find a mini display to HDMI adapter. Any thoughts? Recommendation?

  • Can i use my new 2011 21.5 inch imac as a monitor for my ps3?

    hey guys well i really want to use my 21.5 inch imac as a monitor for my ps3 i know that there are devices such as the kanex xd and some belkin thingy that converts hdmi to mini display port, but guys i really want to know
    thanks for your help!!
    much appreciated

    Have a read at this thread with almost same questionhttps://discussions.apple.com/message/16550956#16550956
    Currently no solution but hopefully in the future.
    The Kanex XD only works with earlier iMacs not with ThunderBolt until Kanex updates it.

  • How to connect my PS3 to my iMac (Late 2012)

    Hello every one, I have a question. Can I connect my PS3 to my late 2012 iMac with 27 inch over HDMI?
    I looked in the internet but I only found such Adapters, for the older iMac's.
    If I can do this, please let me know what I need and where I could get this Adapter or Device.
    Thank You.

    You would need a display port to HDMI adapter. One of the newer features (which the 2012 iMac has) is that it can display this type of content like a DVD player to the iMac.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/TY600VC/A/griffin-mini-displayport-to-hdmi-wit h-audio-dvi
    Use the above link to review that item. It also has a DVI adapter that you would not use. But the display port to HDMI is the correct item. Then you connect the PS3 to the hdmi on it. I don't think it would passthrough audio though so you would have to figure something out for sound.

  • How do I connect my 2011 27 inch iMac to my HDTV

    I want to connect my iMac to my HDTV

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The HDTV has a HDMI port which you can use to connect your computer to your HDTV. In order to connect the Mac to your TV, first you have to buy a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter (your computer has got a Thunderbolt port, but it's compatible with Mini DisplayPort cables and adapters). Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4241
    Also, buy a HDMI cable to connect the adapter to your TV. After connecting the HDMI cable to both, image will start being shown on the TV
