IPod and Xbox 360

why is my xbox360 not able to play my songs that i buied in the itunes store?
all the songs that i added from cd's work, just the ones from the store not... is this a licence-problem or what?
sorry about my english...
greetings from switzerland!

I understand your point... and to some extent, you are correct.
You are allowed to burn purchased iTunes music to CD. However, there's a "grey area" when it comes to re-importing that CD and putting the music back into a different digital format, such as MP3 or other.
What you've just done is essentially strip the copy protection off of the original file, and that's a violation of the license agreement as per the Terms of Service for iTunes purchases.
Burning CDs from purchased iTunes tracks --- OK.
Re-ripping those burned CDs back into digital audio --- not OK.

  • Updated to 7.3.1, PC and Xbox 360 can't connect

    Hey, anyone else having problems getting PCs and Xbox 360s to connect to the AirPort Extreme after the 7.3.1 update? Wired or wireless, my PC (Vista, with and without SP1) and my Xbox 360 (with the official wireless network adapter) won't connect.

    I am in the same boat...
    7.2 worked great... 7.3.1 does not even show in the network list. Also, downgrading it does not fix the issue?!?!?

  • Problems with iPod 5G and xbox 360

    Just recently after updating to the newer versions 1.2.2 and 1.2.3, my xbox 360 no longer recognizes my ipod. This kind of bothers me simply because I wouldn't think it would be very hard to make it possible for my xbox 360 to read my ipod.

    This is really annoying.
    I updated my iPod firmware just the other day - and only because iTunes prompted me to.
    Now I've tried to connect my iPod to my Xbox for the first time and...hmmmm...the ipod doesn't show up.
    After trying various things and wasting a lot of time, I've found this post (thanks guys!). At least now I know what the problem is.
    Come on Apple!!! Judging by the number of sites I found talking about the subject, loads of people with iPods connect them to their Xboxes.

  • Ipod on Xbox 360, some songs don't show up

    I recently bought an Xbox 360, I have been using my Ipod to listen to music but some songs don't show up in Xbox playlist, particularly the music I have bought and downloaded from Itunes music store, Is it some kind of protected format, what can I do to fix it, any help would be great, thanks

    This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
    If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
    Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

  • Getting DSL Modem, TimeCapsule, and XBox 360 to play nice

    I just bought a 1TB Time Capsule and pretty much hooked it up without reading the manual by using what seemed like the defaults. Everything seems to be working fine...I've got internet access, my two MacBooks are backing up using Time Machine...my only issue is that XBox 360, which connects wirelessly, is offline, (i.e., it can't connect to XBox Live.)
    I have AT&T DSL internet. I plugged my TC into the Westell DSL Modem and ran the Airport configuration software. Using the default or recommended options, My TC assumed the settings for the wireless server of my Westell Modem. (I selected the "Bridge" setting when I got to that part.) When I was told to turn off the other wireless device (My Westell modem's wireless), I just logged on to the modem and turned off the wireless.
    Everything worked fine...until I went to get on to XBox Live. It fails the connection test on XBox. (Everything else still works great.)
    What do I need to do to get the XBox back up and running? It appears that my Westell is the router, handing out IP addresses, and my TC is just a wireless bridge to my Westell. Why wouldn't it hand an address to the XBox just like is doing for my two MacBooks?
    I still have my HP Color LaserJet hooked up via ethernet to the Westell.
    Is there a better way to hook all this up?

    Maybe I shouldn't have said I have the "default settings". At each step along the initial configuration path, I read the details for each option, and choose the path that would seem to work best in my environment.
    In my initial post that indicated that I chose the "Bridge" route that you recommended, but my XBox 360 is not getting an IP address from my Westell DSL modem. Yet my 2 MacBooks, 1 MacBook Pro, 2 iPhones and 1 iPod touch all seem to get served IP addresses without a hitch.
    There was a was an option about NAT & Something else after "Bridge" was selected. Is there something about that setting that would allow Mac stuff to access my network, but prevent a Microsoft-rigid device like an XBox 360 from gaining access?

  • Stream ipod to xbox 360?

    my ipod doesnt work on any xbox 360s. i was wondering if there was a program that can share/stream my ipod music from itunes to my 360. i found a program called connect360 but it only browses my itunes library, not my ipod. all my music is on my ipod to save harddrive space. thanks

    Hi viceng,
    I've been using connect360 (paid the $20) and it's a fantastic program, it was designed to be a streaming plug-in to your media library. I've yet to find a similar program that allows you to access the mounted iPod and stream it out across the network.
    With that being said, the iPod was not designed to be the only location for your music. My understanding is that Apple always envisioned the iPod to be a way to take the media on your computer with you, not have it as the primary storage location.

  • How to play iPod through Xbox 360?

    If anyone knows how to play an iPod on the Xbox 360, then could you tell me how to please? I know that i have to configure the iPod to play through the USB port but i don't know how to do that so if someone could tell me how to do that too, that would be amazing. thanks

  • Playing videos of an ipod via xbox 360

    i was just curious as to if you connect like a normal ipod video with your xbox and go to the media>video tab on the xbox dashboard, can you play videos from your ipod via the xbox 360???? that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes and then i could watch them on tv via xbox 360 connection. let me know

    that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes
    definitely NOT legit.
    As to whether an xbox can handle this depends on what acessories you have. Apple and other companies make docks with A/V cables for playing video to TVs. If xbox can take those cables as inputs then it should work.

  • IPod to Xbox 360

    Hi guys, I recently bought an Xbox 360 and it rules. One of the great features is being able to listen to your own music in-game. However, my iPod doesn't get along with my Xbox 360 at all.
    I know that Apple brought out an update to stop people from listening to their music purchased from iTunes on their 360s, but not even my normally purchased music (CD's put onto the iPod) works on the 360 with my iPod.
    This shouldn't be happening (I don't think) and was wondering if there was a way of sorting it. The only music which works on it is the music which I haven't purchased (illegally got hold of, in other words).

    I know that Apple brought out an update to stop people from listening to their music purchased from iTunes on their 360s,
    Huh? Where did you here this?
    MS has not implimented the DRM Apple uses for ITMS purchased music.

    "Microsoft built its iPod connection without the support of the folks at Apple."
    "We do not have an official relationship with Apple for the iPod connectivity," said Scott Henson, product unit manager in Microsoft's advanced technology group. He maintains that "Xbox 360 leverages standard protocols such as USB mass storage to enable iPod support."
    The only music which works on it is the music which I haven't purchased (illegally got hold of, in other words).
    There is really no difference betweent his music and the CDs you ripped yourself.
    Either the xbox or the ipod or the link between them is not working properly.

  • 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.

  • Two questions about the E1000 and Xbox 360

    Okay this is going to be a two part questions. ( both my friend and I have the E1000 )
    1st
    My friend and his brother are having issues with their Xbox 360's. My friend has his xbox set to dmz mode and his brother is just using I guess we'll say the default way. And when my friend is playing any game his brother tries to play call of duty black ops and the nat says strict or moderate. Now I was reading about port range triggering and how to set it up but there are different ways some people are doing it. I've seen a few videos that the people had different settings. Whats the correct way that my friend and his brother can both play xbox 360 and not have any nat issues?
    ( BTW their both hook-up wired )
    2nd
    I'm currently using dmz settings as-well ( wireless ) My home users only uses a few devices like laptops, ipods, kindle, and just one Xbox. Now I want the optimal performance I can get. I'm currently downloading mass effect ( games on demand xbox 360 ) The game size is 6.83gb and taking awhile to download. I say I've been downloading it for over 40 minutes and I'm currently at 77%, is this normal speed? Or can I boost my speed a bit? My Internet Provider is Cablevision in NJ "Optimum Online" download is 15mbps download is 5mbps.

    Xbox live will only let you connect 1 xbox for every WAN IP address. Your ISP gives you only 1 dynamic public IP which will be pass down from the modem to the router. The router gives your other devices private ip addresses.
    Strictly speaking, only 1 xbox will be allowed by xbox live to connect because of the reason you only have 1 public ip. You will be lucky if you can connect two.
    Anyway, you can try the steps below:
    Access the page of your router
    Click Admin Tab, disable UpNP.
    Then trigger ports: 3074/53/88/22728/33233
    2869/10280-10284/1900/1024
    Click Applications and Gaming Center Tab
    Click Port Range Trigger
    Ex:
    Application name: xbox1, xbox2
    xbox1--enter port 3074 on all 4 boxes and click enable
    xbox2--enter 10280 on start box and 10284 on end box, same for the other 2 boxes and click enable.
    Enter all number and on the applications boxes and save

  • Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

    Hello.  I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever).  My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.  
    I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow.  Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network.  I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly.  I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now.  (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
    My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
    So here are the things I am trying to connect:
    Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
    Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
    XBOX 360 - WIRED
    (I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
    I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
    Here are the settings that I have so far:
    Changed the Router Name
    Changed the SSID
    Have DHCP set to 3  (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
    Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
    Username and Password changed to my own info
    UPnP: Enable
    I may have changed other things without knowing it.  So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated.  I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
    And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions?  I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
    Thanks a lot (in advance)!

    So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect... 

  • Iphone 4 Video and Xbox 360 as my PC's Windows Media Center

    I noticed that all video formats play perfectly over my Xbox 360 except for video shot with my iphone 4. It plays the video in slow motion while the audio is at regular speed. It's very annoying. Is their a fix for this or do I just need to convert the iphone 4 videos to h264 mp4, or regular mp4? Any quick fixes so I don't have to do the converting? When I play them on my HP they play just fine. I'm assuming it has something to do with the Xbox 360 not having an updated codec. Any ideas will be tried.
    Thanks

    I'm in the same Xbox 360 boat. I'm also amazed at the lack of information on this problem since the iPhone 4 has been out so long and the Xbox 360 received an update long after.
    It has to be a codec issue since the Xbox 360 can play 1080p content. The iPhone 4 720p video can't be more intensive than 1080p.
    While I'm at it why can't the Xbox 360 play iTunes Plus and iTunes Lossless audio, they're DRM free (I use Connect360 to get around the issue)? Seriously, Microsoft has to be doing it on purpose. Every attempt I've made to get this question answered has been met with a MS wall.
