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.

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
Of course you can burn purchased tracks. This is allowable by Apple under the Terms of Service for the iTunes Music Store.

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.

Connecting my iPod to the XBOX 360

I have been trying to connect and share music from my iPod with my XBOX 360 and when i plug my iPod into the USB port it reads the music but it won't let me play the music. I was looking in the manual for the XBOX 360 and it said that I needed to configure the iPod to play the music but it didnt tell me how. If anybody knows it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx!!

How do you safely disconnect a iPod form a Xbox 360?

I have a Xbox 360, plugged in my iPod 5th Gen, and it works wondefully well. The tunes are all arranged as iPod interface, ie scroll by album, song, artis etc.
However how do I safely disconnect? ie on my PC I do a eject through itunes, but as the "don not disconnect" is on the Ipod how do I eject it when connected to my Xbox 360?
I have exit the music app but done know when to eject?
please help
thanks

no not onthe iPod I mean, I havent got access there, it just shows the normal red sign and "do not disconnect" message on the iPod.
What I meant was on the Xbox 360 it has the menus (not all) just the music menu
cheers

Why is my 5G iPod not recognized by Xbox 360?

It's been probably over a year (maybe 2?) since I've plugged my 5G ipod (firmware v1.3, model PA002LL) into my 360, but in the past it's worked fine. However, last night I was in the mood to listen to some tunes while playing xbox; but, when I plugged, it in my xbox would not recognize it. The xbox will charge my ipod, but it will not show the device as being connected to it. So, to make sure it wasn't an xbox issue, I plugged in an ipod shuffle, which was detected by the xbox right away.
I then called my brother and asked him to plug his 5G ipod (firmware v1.3) into his xbox 360 to see if it would be detected...of course, it was detected. So, this leads me to believe it is an issue with my ipod. I originally was going to try and downgrade the firmware back to 1.2.1, however, the fact that my brother's ipod works fine with his xbox360 leads me to believe it is not a firmware issue.
Has anyone else had similar experiences? If so, have you found a resolution, or do you have any ideas as to what I should try? My ipod has been working like a charm since I bought it 2 or 3 years ago up until this little quirk. Also, I will be plugging my ipod into my bro's xbox 360 tomorrow night, to verify that my ipod still won't be recognized.
Thanks!

Eh, it's not really a glitch, it's just Apple changed something with the firmware along the way (probably going to 1.3), and Microsoft never did anything to try to keep it up to date with Apple's new firmware.
A Microsoft rep at my work said it was more Apple's fault because Microsoft tried to make a fix or new download to let the new firmware work, but "Apple didn't do that for them". But again, he's only a rep and I don't really believe it. Why would Apple not want to make their player supportable for Xbox? It's not like Apple makes game consoles.
I just think Microsoft didn't go out of their way to stay up to date with the iPod firmware, and you know they have their Zune which they're trying to promote so I'm sure they're in no rush to try to make iPod support work again for a while. This is unfortunate, cause I love the Xbox 360, but no way am I getting a Zune haha. Microsoft makes a great game console, Apple makes the best portable media devices, why can't they just get along? haha oh well.

Playing iphone or ipod music through an Xbox 360 system

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to find out if its possible to play music from an ipod or iphone through an Xbox 360 system. I purchased a DRM-Free song from itunes and tried to play it through my Xbox 360 system with my ipod but it still won't play. The only songs that play are the ones from CD's. Is there any way that I could play the ones from itunes through my Xbox 360 system? Please Help,Thanks.

Correction, you can play acc files. You will need to download the codec for it from the Xbox LIVE Markplace (for free).
To listen to unprotected AAC files from your iPod music player
1. Go to the Game Marketplace and open All Games.
2. Scroll down the alphabetical list and select O.
3. Select Optional Media Update, then Optional iPod Support.
4. Select Confirm Download. The download is free.
5. Once your download is complete, select Continue and return to the Xbox Dashboard (press B a few times).

Ipod Not Recognized With Xbox 360?

This is an XBox issue. When they update that system it may work again.
This has also happened with car stereo adapters.

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.

Using Xbox 360 to play Ipod

When I hook up my Ipod to my xbox 360, only certain songs will play. I think it is because of the format(AAC) which doesn't seem to work on xbox 360. Is there any way to convert songs to MP3 or WMA on Itunes? Also, if you know any other ways to get all the songs to play on the xbox 360, could you please help me out.
Thanks

you cant. ipod touches do not support 'disk mode' like other ipods, so you wont be able to access your music files (you can access photos, because it is possible to save photos to your ipod using either the screenshot/save from safari options)
there is third party software available which will do this, try google (or whichever search engine you prefer). you could also try using the search box for these forums, other people may have suggested software for other people to use.

IPod update causes iPods to be incompatible with Xbox 360's

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1033587&tstart=0
(I felt that this topic belonged more in the compatibility forums.)
Since the iTunes 7.3 iPod software update, the iPods updated are now incompatible with 360's.
They now show up in the 360 system menu as "Audiobooks", and are unable to play from the predesigned playlists.
This is fixed by reverting to iTunes 7.2 or earlier.
However, one should be able to use the current iTunes version 7.5, and one's iPod with the Xbox 360, who many iPod users use as their entire media hub for their home theater systems.

Look in the packaging and pieces of paper that came with the Xbox 360. Mine came with a piece of paper advertising the ability to connect and listen to your iPod, and at the bottom it had a disclaimer saying that it doesn't work with the iPhone or iPod touch.

How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

How Can i get my ipod Video 60gb to play on my XBOX 360???

she only needs to do that if he needs to change the format. For example if she recorded the clips via her phone and it's not in a format iTunes will play. For example if I have a .wmv iTunes won't touch it until I convert it. She could also be talking about video that she recorded on a DVD camcorder that burns the video to a DVD not a memory card. ITunes doesn't convert everything.
She's transfered the clips to her ipad and the ipad won't play them. So she needs to get them to a m4v or mp4, and you use format converters for that. Not apps but something on the computer.

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.
