Hi i checked with Apple support and they said that this would work Moshi Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (with audio),have done some research on net and reviews say that it doesn't work
The alternatives that I've found are over £100,any as anybody else got this setup working and how
Many thanks Steve

Hi Frank
Reset the SMC > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
+1. Shut down the computer.+
+2. Unplug the computer's power cord.+
+3. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.+
+4. Release the power button.+
+5. Attach the computers power cable.+
+6. Press the power button to turn on the computer.+
and then toggle uncheck and recheck "Automatically reduce brightness before display go to sleep" in the Energy Saver Preference.
Little story about that feature, back in Tiger and early in Leopard that feature worked so well, that it drove a lot of folks crazy. Every startup it would reset back to reducing the brightness, even if folks had it unchecked and did not want there display to dim.
Personally I prefer to use an Active Screen Corner if I get up and leave the iMac for a short time, but also have the Display set to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity.

How do I connect my Xbox 360 to my iMac

I want to use my imac as a TV so i want to know how to connect the xbox 360 to my imac.
Thank you for your support

What iMac model do you have ?
The 2011 ThunderBolt iMacs only work with other ThunderBolt Macs Thunderbolt 10.6 Help: Using another Mac as an external display
For the 2009 and 2010 27" iMacs with Mini DisplayPort you would need something like the Kanex XD http://www.kanexlive.com/xd
The Kanex XD is not compatible with ThunderBolt iMacs.

no
lag is a term used about when the process of the images can't be don fast enough by the video card
when one use a imac as a monitor it works just like a monitor as in it does not process the images just display them

Belkin av360 Hdmi/xbox 360 adapter not working? Kanex ok?

I have a Belkin AV360 adapter to connect my xbox 360 to my 27" imac display. It has recently stopped working i.e. I cannot switch to the external input. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution? Also is anyone using a Kanex XD and does that still work (it uses an external power supply rather than being connected via usb like the belkin)? I believe there has been a software update that has invalidated the usb drivers on the belkin.

Mine stopped working randomly in early 2012. I read elsewhere online that the boxes were sometimes faulty and just stopped working. I contacted Belkin, because this product has a "Lifetime Warranty" and I was able to send in my faulty unit and received a replacement free of charge. The replacement worked fine.
It's been a while, but try contacting Belkin about it. Part # F2CD007

XBOX 360 Hardwired to iMac Wifi'd to a Belkin router

I don't want to fork up the 80 bucks to buy the wireless card for my 360 because the signal in my house is poor due to all of the steel in our walls i'm guessing...and I was wondering if there was a way to hardwire my 360 to the back of my iMac and use the iMac as a Bridge to get the net on my 360? THANKS

If your iMac is currently accessing the Internet wirelessly, you can use OS X's Internet Sharing feature to share that Internet connection through the iMac's built-in Ethernet port as follows...
To setup for Internet Sharing (Wireless to Wired):
Enable Software Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
- Click Stop to start the software firewall
Setup the Network
Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Wireless Internet Router > (wireless) > [AirPort Card] Mac_#1 [Ethernet port] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] XBox 360
Setup Port Order
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
- Verify that "AirPort" is at the top of the list, followed by "Built-In Ethernet."
- Click "Apply Now."
Configure the Internet Connection
System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > TCP/IP
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Enable Internet Sharing
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
- Share your connection from: AirPort
- To computers using: Built-In Ethernet (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
- Click Start

Xbox 360 into an imac

hey, i was wondering if there is anyway for my 360 to plug into my imac in order to ue it's screen? Could this be done through vga?

You can use one of these devices:
http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyetvhybrid&PHPSESSID=91d7c31c938e b89bbeb73baa3160b0aa
Other than that, the iMac has no video-in port, so it would be impossible without a device similar to the one listed above

Xbox 360 meets IMAC

Is it possible/advisable to run an xbox 360 through an IMAC. will there be significant delay? how is it done?
Thanks
J_Rock

J_Rock, Welcome to the discussion area!
None of the iMacs have any type of video input. Therefore there is no way to directly display the Xbox 360 output to the iMac's screen.
You may be able to use one of the devices made by elgato.com

Imac & xbox 360

I have been reading about connecting an xbox 360 to the imac via the elgato Eyetv. However it seems as though the eyetv would cause the 360 to lag because of USB. Would the EyeTV 410 still lag even though its connected via firewire? And would there be any way at all to reduce the lag?

You are the 10 milliionth person to ask this question, and I'm in the exact same boat, but with a PS2.
UNFORTUNATELY, Apple has neglected to put any type of input on the 24" iMac's beautiful display, so my suggestion would be to WRITE apple. If enough people write them with this request, they WILL include it. Please write them. PLEASE. Here is a link, to make it easier:

Please, make anybody else you know do the same. If enough people do it, the next iMac WILL have an input!!!!!

Xbox 360 - Optical line-in pass through 5.1 to optical line-out on an iMac?

Hi guys, i'm in the market to purchase a new 5.1 surround sound system for my room and the following issue has been purplexing me.
IS it possible to daisy chain my XBOX 360 to my iMac with optical cables and pass through 5.1 surround sound to the decoder on the sound system?
So i'd have an optical cable from my xbox to the line-in on my iMac. I'd use Rogue Amoeba's Line-In app to pass the sound through to the optical line-out and through to the sound system.
(I know it works using stereo sources, but i don't know about 5.1 digital sound.)
I also know i could just connect them both to separate optical ports on the sound sytem, but i'm trying to listen to 2 sources at the same time. (5.1 from XBOX and music from iMac).
Any thoughts on this are appreciated!

I'm convinced things work like this:
The SBX-Fi receives the encoded SPDIF.<
The drivers decode it into the 5 digital audio signals. This siimply regenerates what was put into the encoding and has no effect on its "volume."<
The 5 digital audio signals are sent to the SBX-Fi hardware, as is.<
The signals are widened (not sure about the SBX-Fi, but for SBLi've-/SBAudigy-series card it's 32-bits with IIRC 4 bits for headroom, which is 24dB) at input by the SBX-Fi hardware. The additional headroom is probably able to handle most effects/mixing which might happen, but might produce a signal which would clip on output if the intermediate results produce a digital volume over 00%.<
The master output volume operates on the output signals before they are narrowed.<
The output signals are narrowed (dithered) and distributed.<
If that's correct, it means you should be able to simply lower the master output volume in the soundcard mixer; and that presumes something's going on like high Crystalizer settings, or something; to elminate clipping distortion.

XBOX 360 on iMac?

Sorry if other people have asked this, but can you play XBOX 360 on an iMac using EyeTV Hybrid? If so, will be able to output HD graphics?

Yes. S-video or composite video only (720x480 NTSC or 720x576 PAL)

Wrt54g and xbox 360 wireless gaming adapter

First post here and I have a problem. The WRT54G has wirlelss disabled. It is connected to a WAP11B wireless access point which is connected in 802.11b mode to a laptop, Wii, xbox 360, iPhone. The router is connected to a dsl modem. Three wired ethernet computers are connected. And I am running WEP with 128, and I changed the SSID to something other than linksys.
I'd like to change to use the WRT54G as a wireless enabled connection. Then remove the WAP11B, and put a pcmcia 802.11g card in the laptop and connect the xbox360 with a microsoft xbox 360 wireless gaming adapter which should connect at 802.11g.
The problem is the xbox 360 displays a message that there are duplicate networks using my SSID. Is there someway to upgrade to 802.11g without getting that error message on the xbox 360? Let me know if there are any questions I can answer in order to more clearly explain the problem.
Thank you,
Jordan
Solved!

Did you try to change the SSID...If not change the Network SSID and try...
