Hooking PS3 to imac

is it possible to hook a PS3 to an imac and play?
if so, could any one explain please.

You can but not well.
Check out products like elgato eyeTV hybrid... they can, but will only be in 480i or p at best... not HD and in my opinion not worth playing or the hassle.

I've just hooked my 20" iMac up to my Toshiba 37" HDTV using a mini dvi-HDMI adapter, and works well, EXCEPT for the green tinge (or hue) that is showing up on my TV. Any suggestions or ideas?

I've just hooked my 20" iMac display up to my Toshiba 37" HDTV using a mini dvi-HDMI adapter, and everything works well, EXCEPT for the green tinge (or hue) that is showing up. Everything else looks pretty good though..... The color that is on my iMac is still good, Its just green on the TV.
Anyone have suggestions or ideas?

Try opening the Display System Preferences, then click on the Color options in the Display preferences window that appeared on the Toshiba display. Click on the Calibrate button and follow the instructions for creating a custom ColorSync profile that will hopefully solve the green tinge issue. The Apple Display Calibrator Assistant software that launches when you click on the calibrate button will walk you through the process.Assuming that the green tinge is minor and that you don't have a more serious cable or hardware issue, I am hopeful the results will be worth it.

For the AirPort Extreme Base Station to provide Internet access to network clients, it would need to be configured for: 1) Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address, and 2) Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network.
Although the option: Wireless Mode = Join a wireless network, exists for the Extreme, it really serves no purpose and should not be used.

Ps3 to imac 21,5

I want to use my imac screen for ps3. I have an "belkin mini displayport to hdmi converter".
I searched on the internet and found out I had to do something with command + f2 or something but i doesn't work.
Is it possible to do this and how?
I think the converter I have is only working in one direction because i can play movies with my imac and watch it on tv.
Can somebody explain me if it is possible to do this and how and why command f3 is not working???

Not successfully if you are attempting Target Display Mode.

Connecting PS3 to iMac 21.5

I have a late 2008 iMac (21.5 inch) and I want to connect my PS3 to it and I wonder if any one has a way to do it.

Sorry, but the 21.5" iMac does not support being used as a monitor for another system. That feature is only in the 27" iMac.
You could, however, take control of your PC, if it's a Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 system, from your Mac. All you need is Microsoft's free Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac. Or you can, by various methods, run Windows on your Mac and perhaps not need your PC at all.
Regards.

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

Hooking up an iMac by ethernet?

So I have a 2011 27" iMac with less-than-stellar WiFi (constant dropouts, amongst other things), and after a few trips into the Apple Store for maintenance, they determined that it's the $900 logic board that's faulty. I've since bought a Retina MBP to replace it, and it's great for most things. However playing most games on it seems to really tax the fans, and watching movies on it just isn't the same as it was on my iMac.
So I'm looking into ways of getting my iMac back into action alongside the MBP, and came across the AirPort Express which I think might suit my needs. I just need to know if it can do what I'm thinking. Can I connect the AE to my home WiFi network, then hook my iMac up to one of the ethernet ports of the AE and use that to connect my iMac to the internet? And if I do that will I be able to use things like AirDrop and/or access my MacBook's files from the iMac?
Thanks!

Yes.
However, I fail to understand how you intend to use your iMac if its logic board has already been determined to be faulty. If using its Ethernet port alleviates the Wi-Fi problem you describe it will remain a serviceable machine, within that limitation. AirDrop requires Wi-Fi to be operative. If it is not, you can still access the iMac's files over the network using File and / or Screen Sharing.

My ipad will only charge after update when being hooked to my iMac. Are there any answers to this dilemma ?

Ok one thing i found is if your itunes needs updating and you hook your ipad to your mac (lucky if you have a imac to do so) it will charge.
What is up with Apple , did the updates for patches after IOS 7 and still will not charge. Using orignal charges that came with equipment on a good wall circuit.
Does not matter which one will not charge . HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

Most USB ports do not provide sufficient power to charge an iPad. Normally it's best to charge your iPad using the original charger and original cable.
If the iPad will not charge there are only a few possibilities.
No power to the outlet.
Bad cable. Try a different cable.
Bad charger. Try a different charger.
Dirt or crud in the connector port. Check and clean carefully.
Software failure. Reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

PS3 AND IMAC

Hi all, I just bought a new 20" imac about a month ago,I am not mac savvy at all, im totally confused by most of this new stuff but I'm slowly learning. My question is this, What do i need to do i.e.: buy and how to install, to get my ps3 to work wirelessly ? Thanks in advance.

The simplest, and most economical way would be to get a Wireless Access Point (WAP) and connect this directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the D-Link router. An example of a WAP is the Linksys WAP54G.

Network PS3 and iMac

Hello, I have just connected a PS3 to my Airport Extreme via the WiFi. I have internet access w/ PS3. Is it possible to access/open/play digital movie files from my iMac w/ PS3? (ie. See/access an iMac file/digital movie on TV screen, and play that movie on TV thru PS3 setup)

Hi, I would think so.
Have you enable File Sharing on the Mac & setup who can connect?

Would like to connect ps3 to Imac?

Hi
apologies if this has been answered before or something similar has before, but i would like to connect my ps3 to the imac 27" screen that i am looking to get. Dont particuarly want an Imac screen as well as a tv in my uni room.
hope someone could help, looking for a cheap(ish) way but any information would be great!
thanks

The other thing not mentioned is that you are restricted to 720p whether using the Belkin, Kanex, or the Atlona converters. To get 1080p you need a US$279 scaler.
