Ipod & Xbox 360 Problem

When I hook up my 5th gen Ipod to my xbox 360, only the songs without protected AAC play. Is there any way to convert Protected AAC to something like mp3 or wma? Or is there some way to let the Xbox play them, because I can't play a lot of my favorite songs right now.
Thanks for the Help

And no, unfortunately, burning the protected AAC files as an audio cd and re-importing them is not legal either

Ipod Xbox 360

can you play song bought on itunes on the Xbox 360 i cant find any of my songs

Hi!
"I heard Plays For Sure didn't work..."
Hahahahaha!
It's called "Plays For SURE" and it doesn't play.
Oh, the irony.
I'm totally ****** about all this music/video downloading/sharing crap.
If they had ONE standard, it would be OK (that's what a STANDARD is), but there are many, and they are non-compatible.
I was trying to listen to an Avril album that I bought my son on RealPlayer (.rax files). RealPlayer said I wasn't authorized to listen to the Avril tracks. Not authorized? I BOUGHT them with my credit card. I only have ONE profile with one username and password on RealPlayer. ***???
Then, I'm trying to listen to some tracks via Windows Media Player, and it says I don't have the license for them. Here I am, holding the CD that I BOUGHT and that I loaded onto my hard drive, and the crap MS software is telling me I don't have the rights to my own music!
Then the "record" companies (and there's the problem there-they haven't figured out they're MUSIC companies and NOT RECORD companies-nobody buys records now...you idiots!) wonder why people are "illegally" swapping and sharing media.
Maybe it's because you F'ed it all up, and legitimate buyers can't even listen to the music they legally purchased.
ARE ANY MUSIC EXECS LISTENING?????!!!!!!!
Morons.... must've gotten their MBAs at the same schools the airline execs did.

WRT54GL and Xbox 360 problems

So, I recently bought an Linksys WRT54GL and used it to set up a network, and its working great. But when I got the official wireless adapter for my Xbox 360 I started to get a few problems. The thing is, when I am to select a wireless network, I can only see other networks around me and not mine. As it said on the Xbox troubleshoot thingy, I moved my router near my Xbox, I even put it on the Xbox. But it still doesn't find my network, while my computer finds it perfectly. And i've tried entering my network manually but it still doesn't work.

PS3 and XBox 360 problems. NAT issue.

I don't know if anyone is having this issue. I own an XBox 360 and a PS3, both connected wirelessly to my WRT54GS router. If I play the XBox 360 (which requires an open NAT) it's fine. As soon as I download something (not play something) on my PS3, it turns the NAT into Moderate rather than Open. When I again turn on my XBox 360 I have problems with Live. So I must reset my router every time I download content on my PS3.
Does anyone know why this happens or how to keep it from happening again?
Thanks,
Ryan

check out the hardware version on the unit...and then go to www.linksys.com/download and look for the firmware of the appropriate version number of WRT54GS...
access the router interface using http://192.168.1.1 . Logon using the password "admin"..ensure that the router has the same firmware as available on the website...if not , upgrade it first..
after the firmware upgrade , reset the router and reconfigure ...
on the router ui , change the MTU settings to 1364 ...assign static ip add and dns on the x-box and PS3....the ip add should be out of the range of the router's DHCP ( i.e out of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149 )
on the router ui , go to "Applications and gaming" tab and forward ports 88 and 3074 for the ip add of the x-box and 10070 - 10080 , 6000 - 6999 for the PS3..

WRE54G + WRT54G + Xbox 360 Problems

I recently plugged my WRE54g back in to try and improve the signal strength in my basement, where my xbox 360 is (router is on 2nd floor). Got the extender working, all blue lights, signal seems to be stronger. However, the xbox fails the xbox live and media tests at the IP category, so something is wrong in the IP address area. I have tried changing the router's IP to match the extender's, resulting in problems on every computer in the house, so i set it back to 192.168.1.1. Then, I tried setting the extender's IP to 192.168.1.2 (after very much difficulty, the extender setup page freezes and says it lost connection whenever I make a change, still having the problem), yet my xbox still fails the test even though the extender IP is within the range of the router. I have no idea what to try now, I have tried googling every possible combination of words to try and find help, and have gotten nowhere. So if anyone could help, please, please, do so!

"Nothing but red light of death on the extender. Is it supposed to have the same SSID, channel # and security code as the router?"
answer: yes
heres something i found for you.I hear they haven't made any expanders for the N series yet. but follow this guide i found, and you might get it to work.
First of all the computer or laptop MUST be hardwired to the router.
Second, the WRE54G MUST also be hard wired to the router.
Then, reset the WRE54G by pressing the reset button for at least 30 seconds. (You probably get a blue and red steady light....that is fine). Hopefully, if all goes right, this will allow you to now communicate with the WRE54G. (Auto Configuration is not possible).
Now to test this: Go into your start menu and click on "Run" and type in the comannd "CMD"....This will give you a DOS prompt window. Now type in "Ping 192.168.1.240" (this is the preset IP Address of the WRE54G.) At this point you will get several lines of numbers and stuff...ignore everything except at the bottom where it say's "Packets: Sent = 4, Recieved = 4, Lost = 0 0% loss>. If this is the case then you are looking good!
Now, open a web browser and type in 192.168.1.240 and wait for the Linksys page to come up from your WRE54G.....when/if this does come up then you have won the battle!
Next, and this is also VERY IMPORTANT. In the configuration of your WRE54G the SSID MUST be the same as your router!!!! Otherwise they will not communicate with each other. Also the channels should be the same. Now click on "save setting", and it this time or shortly there after you should have 2 blue lights on your WRE54G. At this time you can unplug it and place it anywhere in your house!
Please note: at the time of all this configuration my security on my router was disabled and later also on my expander.

Xbox 360 Problems with WRT54G

Like many people I'm getting NAT Moderate on my Xbox 360 which is wirelessly connecting to a WRT54G. I've done a lot of things but with no success, these include: Opening port 88 (UDP) and 3074 (TCP & UDP) Allowing annonymous internet requests Setting MTU to 1365 Giving my Xbox a static IP Following the advice of this page: http://live.tommccann.net/ All of this to no avail. Can anybody give me any more advice?

Where can I find this option? I looked at Wireless and the four tabs below that (Basic Wireless Settings, Wireless Security, Wireless MAC Filter and Advanced Wireless Settings) and can't see anything like that.

WRT160Nv3 Xbox 360 problem AGAIN

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.
Message was edited by: Host

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.

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.

Xbox 360 not recognizing playlists on ipod - naming ipod "audiobooks"

All of a sudden XBox 360 is recognizing my ipod as "audiobooks" (when connected directy thru USB). It used to say "Tom's ipod". The bigger issue is that I can no longer access my playlists in my ipod when playing it through the 360. I am using the Elite and a ipod photo. I am not sure what happened. Anyone have any ideas on wht I can do?
Some others on an Xbox support thread theorize that it might be the last itunes update.
http://xbox360forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42460

I have the same problem. It happened not too long when I updated iTunes to version 7.3 I think. I now have version 7.5 and still not working. I thought it was my older Ipod, but my new 2007 Ipod Classic 80 GB does the same thing. Xbox 360 doesn't recognize the playlists on my new Ipod. This *****. Please Apple fix this immediately, I don't want to buy a Zune to hear music on my home theatre system. I use the xbox 360 as a media hub for video and audio. Many xbox 360 owners have ipods and use it for the same purpose.

Problem with my xbox 360 and ps3

I have an The Sound Blaster? X-Fi Platinum Fatalty with front PanelAnyway, I'm trying to hook up my 360 to my x-fi so I can get surround sound. I plug the optical cable to the digital input on the front Panel digital-in then?
?when I turn my 360 on the initial screen I get sound but thats it. No sound?in the dashboard or in games.in the 360 I select the digital output and turned?on dashboard sounded,but there is still no sound. :mansad::mansad:

Sorry it took me so long to reply. I have tried restoring the network settings and i have restarted router. I am just so disappointed because my ipod is the only one out of all my friends and family that does this(I know about 15 people with ipod touches and one with iphone). My router works fine with my ps3, xbox 360, and laptop. By the way, its not just my router. It does it with any of them. I have had friends that say their ipod has problems with album artwork too. And, if it makes a difference, it started doing this after i got an update via itunes. Also, the restores made it take longer to reconnect to the router so i really think its just my ipod. I guess im just gonna have to deal with it. Maybe version 3.0 will fix it just as 2.1 or so destroyed it.
One thing i just dont understand is why geek squad did what did to my ipod. I told them that it wouldnt stay connected to my router and the guy tested my battery and hard drive. What does this have to do with that? He also told me to restore it. I mean, no offense to geek squad, but my brother could go in there and teach these guys how to do this. He didnt go to college for this stuff either but he built all of our computers and anytime we have a problem, he knows exactly what to do. He also owns his own computer business and helps people fix their computers. The only problem is that he hates apple so he knows nothing about it. Apple is getting so annoying, coming out with newer versions of things every few months and making so much crap that no one needs. I just cant wait until microsoft steps it up and makes a touch screen, internet and email compatible, zune. Sorry, this is just so annoying and disappointing.

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.

Airport extreme connecting with xbox 360 wireless adapter problems...help!!

Has anyone linked their xbox 360 wireless adapter to an Airport Extreme? I need help! Neither Apple nor Microsoft knew how to link the two devices. If anyone has successfully been able to make this work, your help will be much appreciated. Thanks guys

Yes - Mine works no problem. I have found that I have to unplug the Xbox360 wireless adaptor and plug it back in occasionally (if the green light is on everything is fine). Are you using the correct WPA Key?

Xbox 360/one problem and port forwarding

For a couple months now (since I got my AirPort Extreme) I have not been able to connect to a certain friend on xbox. I can connect to anybody else however. The only way we can (kind of) connect is if somebody else is host and we both connect to him.
My NAT type is Moderate. When I try to test my connection on my xbox it says that I can connect but I am limited in matchmaking (this is joining games and using voice chat, which is the problem named above for my particular friend). The xbox shows the error and suggests that I enable UPnP or open the port 3074.
The problem is that I have already have! I gave my xbox a static IP and forwarded the port 3074 to that IP.
(I have also tried forwarding all the ports that xbox live uses to the xbox. These being:
Port 88 (UDP)
Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
Port 80 (TCP)
as found on the xbox website... https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/networking/network-ports-used-xbox-live
I made sure to put them in the right text boxes for UDP and TCP so that is not the problem either.)
I know that the AirPort Extreme does not support UPnP but does have a similar thing called NAT Port Mapping Protocol which was already enabled. (I tried all possibilities of enabling/disabling NAT...Protocol and port forwarding/not port forwarding.) --- This is not the solution as I see it
In short: My xbox tells me to open port 3074. I already have. It still tells me to open it and still won't work.
I posted this on the apple discussion page (instead of the xbox discussion page) because I know that it's not an xbox problem. When I had my old linksys router it worked perfectly.

I have this exact same question and problem. I know this doesn't help, but would appreciate any updated information if you find an answer. I'll keep working on this also and let you know if I find an anwer.
