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).

Playing videos through an xbox 360 or a tv?

Is there a way to play videos through an xbox 360? I know you can play music through it but I just wanted to know if there is a way to play videos also.
also, is there a way to play my iPod through my tv?
Thanks,
Sam

I am not too sure about an XBox 360.
Although you can play it through your TV, provided that you have the right cables needed.
Apple Store: iPod AV Cable
If you have this cable then on your iPod under Video Settings select Tv"Off" and change it to TV"On" this will output the single to your TV.

Playing (not stealing) a friend's iPod music through iTunes

I develop an application for control and playback of iTunes from external control systems, and have been asked if we can control playback of the content on an iPod. We set up inexpensive macs to act as music servers, and they want the doctors who come in and use the system to be able to plug their personal player into the system for playback during an operation.
In testing, I can plug in and control any of the three iPods around the house that use our account with no problem. But, if someone brings over an iPod and plugs it into my computer, can I play back the music on it through my computer? It seems reasonable.
+Please no flaming about "Because you're stealing" and the like. I pay for ALL of my songs. It's not the same as taking the music from the iPod with a hack, or keeping a fully-loaded iPod from a friend permanently. It's like someone bringing a CD over for a party and leaving with it afterwards.+

If you want to play iPod songs through iTunes you need to change the setting in the iPod's Summary tab to "manually manage songs and videos": Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Thanks. I'm not sure how that relates. For example, I just plugged my iPhone into my PC that has never seen this iPhone before and the iPhone's music is all grayed out. The "Manually manage.." check is not checked on the PC, where it is checked on my Mac.
Then I plugged my daughter's Touch into the same PC (which also have never been connected) and I can access the music. The "manually manage..." check IS checked... What gives?

I can't play my iPod shuffle through my cars' communication system. Is it compatible?

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.

Ipod Not Recognized With Xbox 360?

Can the Airport Express stream audio through my Xbox 360?

I am not asking if my Xbox 360 can CONNECT to my Airport Express. That I have already done.
What I am asking is that my Xbox 360 does not have audio (audio cables seem to not work) and I wonder if I can stream the audio through my speakers wirelessly from my Airport Express. Or does it have to be a IOS device to be able to airplay?

Sorry, but no. The Xbox 360 is not an AirPlay "server" so it cannot stream to an AirPlay "speaker." In this case the speaker is the AirPort Express.

Recording HD through component (Xbox 360)

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a PCI express card for the Mac Pro that would allow me to record video/audio from an Xbox 360 in HD, and also had a coaxial input for cable tv?
Thanks.

Anyone got any help at all? In theory this should work, I'm just looking for confirmation.

Playing YouTube or iPod music videos no longer outputs audio to car stereo.

My car stereo is a Pioneer DEH2200ub
Since the 4.2.1 upgrade on my iPhone4 something has changed from <4.1
Previously, I could play a YouTube favorite, connect to my head unit, and it'd play just fine out my speakers and display the video.
Although now with the update, whenever I plug in my usb my iPhone stops playing the video on screen and gives me a message that says something like "This device is plugged into an external display" and shows the little TV out icon. At that point no audio comes out from the car stereo.
This also happens when trying to watch a music video in my actual iPod library.
Does anyone know the specific reason this is different now or a solution?

60 views and nobody else has this issue?

HT3819 How can you use Home sharing to play music on an xbox 360 for example thats connected to the same WiFi network?

My console is running under the same WiFi service as my itunes, iphone, and all the content i have saved in my library. How can i link, perhaps through HomeSharing, my content from my phone or computer to my xbox console?

You can't. Homesharing allow to share your iTunes content over Apple's devices. XBox isn't made by Apple but Microsoft.

Music not playing in the iPod/Music app

Randomly there are songs that show as playing but the counter never advances past 0:00. Other songs work fine. If I remove the entire library then re-add all the songs, no issues. But that is really annoying. I'm sure it's playing because it even has the play icon in the status bar, yet nothing happens...the song doesn't play, no sound, and the scrub/counter never advances. I saw that this was a problem in iOS5 beta but seriously, they didn't fix this bug? If it matters these are songs purchased from iTunes. iOS 5.01

Hard reset, as in plug in to iTunes, select your device, click restore. You will be able to recover data by syncing first and then select Restore from backup when it's done.

Stream iPod Touch Through Xbox 360

I want to stream my iPod Touch through my xbox 360. I heard that it doesn't work because the xbox sees it as a computer rather than an MP3 player. Is there any way around this?

yeah. that would be slightly difficult though since the creator would need to contact someone from Microsoft who deals with Xbox software, in order to get the codes (or whatever) needed to get the app to work. it still would be great though.

IPhone: Telling if the user is playing iPod Music

I was wondering if there was anyway to tell if a user is playing their own iPod Music. I basically want to prevent my App from playing music if the user is already playing their own.

Go to Settings > iPod.
If Sound Check is On, turn it Off and the same for Volume Limit.

Airport Express to play music through 20th Anniversary Mac?

I'd like to be able to play music through the Bose sound system in my G3-upgraded 20th Anniversary Mac. I've used a very early version of iTunes but it annoyingly pauses fairly frequently while playing for some reason. Since I have an early Airport Express and have an Ethernet adaptor in the TAM I wondered if it's possible to connect the TAM via cable to the Airport Express and stream music from an iMac connected wirelessly to the Airport. It seems a shame not to utilize the Bose speaker system for music. Thanks for any ideas and suggestions.

As far as I know this isn't possible. I might try some stuff using my TAM (although results may very, mine isn't a production model) to see about figuring something out. If the computers sit close enough together you might be able to run a 3.5mm(1/8") headphone cable between the iMac's audio out and the TAM's line in, that or make use of the FM tuner and listen to some awesome FM stations.
Now that I think of that you can invest in something like the link I'll add at the bottom of this, connect it to the speaker port of the iMac then use the tuner on the TAM to tune into the frequency of it. This would also allow the connecting of something such as an iPod.
