Functionality with XBox 360 Pro

Hey all,
I recently bought a first generation XBox 360 Pro from a friend of mine, who restored the thing to factory settings before giving it to me. After updating everything that I could think to update, I downloaded the iPod update so I could get it to work and play music while playing on XBox Live. Both my iTunes version and my iPod are completely up to date.
The problem comes when I try to plug the iPod into the XBox. The box will not recognize it as a device. If I knew how to get it to boot into some form of DOS, I'm sure I could figure it out, but as it stands with the very limited UI for the XBox's OS, I cannot get the XBox to recognize the iPod. So the question is this: does anyone know how to get it to work (and if so, how)? Or do I have to set up my PC to make the music accessible over the LAN?
Thanks!
(oh, and sorry for not searching, but I didn't see it on the front page)

THIS ISSUE APPEARED LAST YEAR, AFTER AN UPDATE TO ITUNES AND MY IPOD. I USED TO PRIMARILY LISTEN TO MY IPOD THROUGH MY XBOX360 AT MY HOME. NOW I DON'T USE MY IPOD SO MUCH ANYMORE. I USED TO REALLY LIKE MY IPOD, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S ZUNE TIME FOR ME.
IS APPLE GOING TO HAVE ANY KIND OF OFFICIAL STATEMENT ABOUT THIS??
APPLE HAS REALLY NICE PRODUCTS, BUT BEHAVIOR SUCH AS THIS WILL KEEP ME FROM EVER PURCHASING ANY OTHER APPLE BRANDED MERCHANDISE!!
...REALLY FRUSTRATED,
ANDY

I Have A WRT110 model and it will not let my Xbox 360 pro connect to the Internet

Hello and thank you for helping if you can.
I own a WRT110 Model and a Xbox 360 Pro. Both are fairly new and work good. Problem is the xbox can not find the DNS and cant find the xbox servers. Ive tried power cycling and putting the xbox manually and auto. I can acess the internet and Xbox.com on my pc. I just dont know what else to do. And idk if it's something to do with the ports or something on the internet page for the modem. Please please help!

Well before that.
My internet provider is Suddenlink and my modem is ArrisTM602G
Could it be that Suddenlink OR the modem is blocking gaming ports?
Cause my ipod touch works with my wi-fi no problem so its wried that my ipod wwill work but not my xbox
Thank you again for helping

Connecting with Xbox 360

is there a reason iPhones won't connect with Xbox 360's like iPods did?

Because even though it plays mp3 and has ipod capabilites...it's a phone! Were you able to connect your previous cell phone to your Xbox?

Hey kole71,
That particular model of Plantronics is compatible for PC gaming but not Xbox 360. Plantronics does have some headsets that work with 360, and I've attached a PDF of the chart found on their website. Hope that helps!

Linksys WRT54G compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Is the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router (WRT54G) compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Use the LAN port and cable. That way you'll get no interference and great data transfer. Or this maybe helps. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/homenetworking/equipment.htm

Problem using iPod with Xbox 360

I have always used my iPod to listen to music while I play games on my Xbox 360, until recently. My 360 no longer recognizes my iPod by name and it is just listed as something generic like external usb device and when I click on it there is no music on it. My iPod is otherwise fully functional when it is not connected to my 360 and my roomate's iPod still works fine with my 360 so i must have changed a setting or something, but I refuse to restore my iPod to factory settings and lose all my music. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm wondering if I should just go to settings, reset all settings. I'm reluctant to try this because I don't know if it will delete my music like if you restore your iPod. Any thoughts on any of this would be much appreciated.

Get this, I was fooling around and found a way to play songs from my iPod on my 360, sort of. When I click on portable device from my 360 or my iPod from my computer desktop three folders appear. Calendars, Contacts and Notes. If I drag songs from my iTunes library to any of these three folders within my iPod icon on my desktop, I can open that folder on my 360 and play the songs in it! The problem is that the sound quality is terrible and it doesn't use my iPod equalizer because things in these folders are not considered music so they are not treated like music when I click on them. In iTunes when I click on my iPod and it has a status bar showing my free space, music space, and other space on my iPod the songs that I put in the Notes folder show up in orange as taking up other space instead of music. Anyway this doesn't really solve my probem so I'm still open to suggestions and/or a number I can call for help.

Sharing Internet with xbox 360

Hi, I have my Powerbook sharing internet with my Xbox 360. The connection works well and I am able to play games, but the NAT is listed as Moderate, with a Moderate NAT I am not able to do private voice chats with people. Does anyone know how I can get my NAT to Open? Also, I would like to share my media with my Xbox that is stored on a Windows XP computer. I followed all the steps given at www.xbox.com/pcsetup, but the Xbox still does not see the computer.
Any help would be appreciated, Thnx

If you are using Internet Sharing on your PowerBook you can forget trying to modify NAT settings or make nearly any other adjustments. There are very, very, very few options.
If you want to make adjustments like that you need to get a real base station.

HDMI with Xbox 360

I just got an xbox 360 and i hooked it up to my imac with my eyetv hybrid. Can use the HDMI cables to make it High Def? What can i use to make it so it will hook up to the cables.
thanks

If your receiver supports HDMI inputs and passthrough then go there first from the xbox, and send the passthrough to the TV. If you can't do that then try digital audio out of the xbox to the receiver and HDMI to the TV for just video.
I read something in another thread about some Toshiba TV outputting only PCM stereo as passthrough from a HDMI input so I bet that's what is happening here.

Replacing Apple TV with Xbox 360, Video Questions

I have had an ATV for a little over a year and thanks to Handbrake I now have an incredible Movie Library over 600 flicks ripped for ATV with the .m4v extension. This month I am getting an Xbox 360 and would like to use it in place of my ATV and move the ATV to another room. I have been doing my research and everything says I should use Connect 360 or Rivet to make contact between my iMac and Xbox 360. Though I have read that movies with the extension .m4v will not read. I have read on various sites that I could just change the extension to .mp4 or .avi and it will work fine. Though alot of the data out there on connect 360 and Xbox 360 streaming seems to be outdated and I can't tell what has been fixed by updates. so... my questions are,
1. Will my movies stream to xbox 360 via connect 360 in the .m4v format?
2.If no, can I just change the extension to .mp4 or .AVI? (I changed the extension from .MP4 to .m4v on some movies when I got the ATV due to some recognition issues in itunes last year and had no problem)
3. If I change the extensions will my ATV still be able to play these videos from elsewhere in the house?
4. Will it all just work flawlessly with no problems thanks to amazing updates from all parties?

I wanted a next gen game system. Part of the way I could convince my wife to let me get an xbox (Im whipped) was to offer to move the ATV to the bedroom so she could view our media in there. Since the Xbox has media center qualities I figured I would take atvantage of them. Now I trying to figure out the best way to get both working.

Thanks

afaik, 'dead horse' HDDVD is supported out-of-the-box..
indeed, for BR media, you need the BR-plug-in..
read the specs on roxios site..

IPod update causes iPods to be incompatible with Xbox 360's

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1033587&tstart=0
(I felt that this topic belonged more in the compatibility forums.)
Since the iTunes 7.3 iPod software update, the iPods updated are now incompatible with 360's.
They now show up in the 360 system menu as "Audiobooks", and are unable to play from the predesigned playlists.
This is fixed by reverting to iTunes 7.2 or earlier.
However, one should be able to use the current iTunes version 7.5, and one's iPod with the Xbox 360, who many iPod users use as their entire media hub for their home theater systems.

Look in the packaging and pieces of paper that came with the Xbox 360. Mine came with a piece of paper advertising the ability to connect and listen to your iPod, and at the bottom it had a disclaimer saying that it doesn't work with the iPhone or iPod touch.

Full-quality export settings for use with Xbox 360

Greetings, all.
I use Rivet to stream video from my Mac to my Xbox 360. Recently I purchased a Sony HDR-HC5 HDV camera, and I want to see that video on my TV at full quality. I don't have an HDMI cable or a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so my only option is to stream this video to the 360 via Rivet.
To accomplish this, I have been trying to export my video at full quality from iMovie HD 6, but one of a couple things happens: 1- the resolution is intolerably low (I want 1080i), 2- the 360 complains about an unsupported format. I've tried exporting in QT format with expert settings, but no matter what I try, I have been unable to find a combination that produces 1080i that can be viewed on the 360.
Surely somebody else on here has gone through this exercise and has figured out what works. If you have any info on this, please share! I searched through the archives and didn't find anything useful. I've also searched on Google and the answer is still elusive.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but the Xbox will in fact view MPEG-4, which iMovie can export. The only problem I'm having is with the quality of the output. The quality is in the movie that is exported, not in the Xbox's viewing of the movie - the movie looks just as bad on my Mac mini as it does thru my Xbox...
With experimentation, I think I'm getting closer to my goal...
