How can I use iMac mid 2007 24" 2.8GHz as screen for Xbox

I am about to buy a new Xbox with Kinect. I would really like if there was some way I could use my iMac as a screen with it. There is not a lot of space in front of our TV, so playing (and jumping etc) in front of the mac will be ideal. I have searched around and havent really got an answer. I guess the Belkin AV360 only works with the 2010 27" iMac and the mid 2007 iMac does not have any dvi in ports. I am not sure if the EyeTV Hybrid in game mode would do the job? Has anybody used it to connect xbox/ps2 etc?
I have thought of getting another LCD for it, but there just isnt enough space in our small apartment for another tv.
Any suggesstions would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Short answer, you cannot.

How can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

how can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

Thanks, varjak, it is too easy to fall into use of jargon assuming everyone understands what it means.
One additional point in all of this, not all "iDevice" apps run on every "iDevice". Some are customized for a specific device, or class of devices such as the iPod/iPhone with their smaller screen. Others for just the iPads for their larger screens. So the user needs to be sure they are getting an app that will work on their specific device.
And to Phoneboone, you do need to purchase the app again if it is for a different class of equipment. When you are looking at apps such as iWorks for the Mac and iWorks components for the iPad, the iPad versions are very inexpensive. Pages is only $10 (US) which is really cheap for such a good word processor that reads and saves in the MS Word format.
Anyway, search for what you need and just enjoy the convenience of so many options for apps.

Can I use iMac's HDD as a second, bootable drive for new PC?

When I replace an old PC with a new PC, I always keep the old HDD around in case I need to boot into it for some reason. I simply plug it in, select it as the boot drive, and it's sort of like using my old PC again.
Can I also do this with my iMac's HDD and a new PC? So I could effectively dual boot between my existing Windows OS on my PC's SSD, and OSX using my old iMac's HDD?
When I do this with two HDDs each using Windows, all the drivers for the new hardware "plug-and-play" the first time I boot with the old HDD, so input and display works. I'm not sure if I'll have the same luxury in this scenario or if I'd need to pre-load new drivers so OSX works with the PC's hardware. My iMac has a AMD (well it was still ATI back in 2009) Radeon HD 4850. I had this same card in an old PC so I would hope the display would still work as well, or worst case scenario I could simultaneously use the iMac HDD with the Radeon 4850 in a PC.
I have a lot of computers sitting around and I'm moving soon, so I want to consolidate what I can so I don't have to take so much with me when I move. My iMac's display is no good (barely functional, definitely not pretty) so I don't want to keep the big iMac around anymore if I can just keep the little HDD.
Of course I back up important files and can always read the HDD from a PC, but I'm interested in seeing if I can still use the drive for booting into OSX.
I'm sure someone's tried to do this before, but my searches turned up with nothing. I'll greatly appreciate any guidance, suggestions, or general thoughts about how I could achieve this. I don't mind getting my hands dirty if a solution exists but isn't simple. Thanks in advance for your input!

Hi, are you talking about removing the drive from the iMac to use in a PC?
If your talking about booting the PC into OSX, then google hackintosh.

How can I use the embeded GPS in my Sprint MiFi Hotspot for my location on my iPad4 wifi only device

The iPad uses the wifi network to determine the location My default connection is through my Sprint MiFi, but it does not use its location gps eventhough it is active for Maps. It did use a local tower in a wisconsin town yesterday and no it thinks I'm there and I cannot refresh it. I am brand new to apple IOS as I won the device last Thursday. I'm trying to upgrade the OS to 7 as it has 6 installed. I need to find a faster connection to do it though.
Any help wpuld be appreciated

Re: How can I get the best out of my battery life?
Hi,
When I make phone calls people on the other end have difficulty hearing me. They describe as they can hardly hear me as if I was speaking through the pillow etc). I am not touching any buttons and obviously it is not mute. This was happening couple of time in June, then every now and then. Recently it happened a few time in 2 weeks. I was trying to check if it was a reception issue but the place I spoke from is my office I make 70% of phone calls from. Can you book time for me in repair shop and address the issue.
Thank you.

How can I use a photo from my files as a screen saver?

I have an LG monitor about 10" high and 16" wide. How can I send a photo from my Adobe files to my desktop as a screen saver. Because of the odd dimensions of this monitor, the one I have as a screensaver now does not show the entire photo. I need instructions how to choose one of my photos, send it to the monitor as a screen saver, and make it the correct size to show the entire photo.

You'll need to download the song from your cd to your my music folder, then open Itunes files add files or folder to the library then you find your song from your my music folder. Then you will have to create the ringtone:

How can I use a windows netbook as a wireless hard drive for a Macbook Pro?

I have an old Acer Aspire One netbook sitting around and a 2TB WD hard drive that I use with my Macbook Pro 15" running Mavericks. I was wondering if anyone had an ideas how I could wirelessly access the netbook with the WD external HD attached from the Macbook Pro. Furthermore does anyone have any ideas how I can use the netbook as an airplay client so I can stream my Mac, iPad, or iPhone to my netbook which would be plugged via VGA into a TV?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Download and install the airport utility for windows.. it isn't strictly necessary but the bonjour service makes life easier.
The request for username and password is correct. Username is whatever you like.. but windows needs it.. so admin.. being the common router one.. password by default is public unless you changed it.
Now to get the TC to work properly..
1. The names should be SMB compliant.. by default they are wrong.. use short names, no spaces no special characters.. pure alphanumeric. That is for TC name and wireless names.
2. Wireless passwords should also be same use WPA2 private.
3. In the disk sharing page.. manual setup.. put in the windows workgroup name.. ie WORKGROUP.. this helps the discovery process.
4. In the same area, turn on the guest account to read and write.. not necessary but helps with later versions of windows particularly.
5. Access the drive by using the direct IP address. ie in Windows Explorer address bar, \\10.0.1.1 (or whatever IP the TC is at).

I cannot open my Earthlink webmail with Firefox. I can with Internet Explorer. How can I use Firefox to open it again. That worked for years for me.

This started after I downloaded zotero. Could that be the problem? If so, how do I get rid of zotero?

Sorry, I can't help with Hotmail, beyond clearing the cache - I haven't used it for 11 or 12 years now. Surprising that a Firefox 3.6 version would have trouble there, as 3.6 has been around for well over a year and Hotmail problems are usually with a recent release of Firefox.
IMO, if Hotmail support can't help you with Firefox issues on their website and can only recommend using IE, maybe it's time to change web mail service providers. My advice is to signup with a different web mail service, one that takes Firefox seriously. Then set up forwarding in your Hotmail account to have all your Hotmail emails forwarded to that new account. Then slowly transition your email contacts over to the new email address over time. As long as you log in to Hotmail every month or two, your account there should stay active and emails sent there should get forwarded to the new email account. I have done that three times in the last decade, and the first one I transitioned from was still forwarding email thru the two intermediary accounts to my current account until last summer when that service finally changed owners and they wanted all new accounts set up or transitioned to their new software - which I didn't do - and I hadn't even signed into my account there in over 4 years and "forwarding" was still working.

How can i use two iPads to play a different AU-Instrument for each Pad at the same time via WLAN?

We have two iPads connected to the MacBook with two different Midi-Sessions. Now we want to connect the every Session to a single AU-Instrument to record live but don´t get it right. In Cubase we just had to choose the Sessions as Midi-Input.
(Sorry for bad englisch )
cheers

Your second post differs form your first, in the first post you said "single AU instrument", in this last post you said "separate synths". I'll address the second post.
It's a bit more difficult in Logic than Cubase which has an updated more modern MIDI system.
The iPad MIDI software will need to transmit on separate MIDI channels for each iPad.
example:
iPad #1 MIDI channel 1
iPad #2 MIDI channel 2 ...etc, doesn't matter which channels as long as they're separate.
Boot Logic:
Go to Settings/Recording and select "Auto Demix by Channel if Multitrack Recording"
Now setup your AU tracks, select separate channels in the inspector, the channels must match the transmit channels on the iPod.
You used to have to record enable the tracks, I don't believe that is necessary now.

How can i use my 3rd Generation iPod as a portable harddrive for files...

now that i have a brand new 5th Generation 60Gig iPod, i want to use my old 3rd Generation iPod as a portable storage devise for files and whatever else. not for listening to music anymore. what do i have to do to make this so?
i can just go ahead and use the firewire cable that came with it right? and will i actually be able to upload files to it, and then download them again? like word documents and photo files or spreadsheet or whatever?
will it be cross platform then? meaning will i be able to take it to my friends pc (i use a mac) and download my resume or spreadsheet or whatever else to his machine (of course i would have to use the usb cable then).
know what i mean? i want to use this think like an external harddrive.
please advise.
iBook and Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.3) and OSX 10.4 on the MBP

i think ipods are generally set to enable disc mode, so you can use it as a storage device, by default (if yours isnt, plug your ipod in, and go into options to select enable disc mode). just connect the ipod with whatever cord it came with to your computer, then look into the m.. is it called "my harddrive" or "harddrive"? and you should see the ipod connected there on the left side of the window with "network" and "music" etc. if you click on the ipod icon, you can drag and drop files into your ipod just as you would any other folder and use it as a harddrive.
the tricky thing is using it for both pc and mac. i think if its formatted for a pc, you can use it on both macs and pcs. but if you have it formatted for a mac, then only macs can read it.
so if you want to use it on your friends pc as well, format your ipod on a pc first so you can use it on both platforms.

How can I use my Time Capsule as an external Hard Drive for my PC? My PC can't find it.

Hi, I just bought this Time Capsule for my home. I've got the internet access for all my devices (Mac, iPad, PC, iPhone) and I've got the Mac backup working through Time Machine. I'm supposed to be able to use the Time Capsule as an external drive for my PC, but I can't figure it out. My PC doesn't recognize the Time Capsule as a Network Place. I called AppleCare, but they don't have all the answers for "PC issues." They tried to get me to Map a Network Drive, but my PC popped up a window asking for a Username and Password. It looks like something similar to when I VPN into my company network from home.
I'm using Windows XP Professional, Version 2002, Service Pack 3.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
