Playing xbox on mac os

i have a 13'' aluminum macbook with leopard 10.5.8 and i was wondering if i could use a video capture product(http://www.elgato.com/elgato/na/mainmenu/products/Video-Capture/product1.en.html) to hook up and play my xbox 360 on my macbook screen.

I read in a magazine about the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid, which was recommended for playing console games on the Mac. Unlike other similar products, the EyeTV Hybrid does not encode video before sending it to the Mac. This means there is only a few milliseconds of delay, meaning no appreciable lag.
See the Elgato EyeTV Hybrid FAQ for more information: http://support.elgato.com/index.php?languageid=1&group=englishdefault&m=knowledgebase&a=viewarticle&parentcategoryid=1&kbarticleid=1063
If you decide to get the device, I found it in the Apple store for $149.95 (Free shipping). It comes with an adaptor to allow composite RCA and S-Video to be connected (no support for HDTV, however).
I hope that this helps you to make a decision on what to do.

How can I play xbox games on my macbook pro??

I travel a lot and I cannot take my xbox with me everywhere I go. I have a macbook pro and want to be able to play xbox games on my mac. Is there anyway I can do this? Safely?

The XBox uses three PowerPC processors that run very very hot and need constant power and Mac's use Intel processors that run very cool in comparison.
It would take a complete rewrite of the entire games code to make it work on a Mac.
So in short, it can't be done. Sorry.
But I'll clue you 2 free 3D games you can run on your MacBook Pro
Cube 2 Suaerbraten and Nexiuz Classic. That should help get you by.

How can i play xbox on my mid 2011 imac

is there a video input for thunderbolt so i can play xbox on my imac

You can't. Thunderbolt IS a video input but Xbox doesn't export thunderbolt compliant video. Target display mode is intended to be used with another Mac http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924

Podcasts from Current Tv, since three weeks prior to the Nov 2012 election have had a url problem and cannot be played on my mac mini 2011 with 10.8.2 and the latest Itunes? anyone know why> ? I am in contact with Itunes now and they wanted screenshots of the problem, I can get these current tv episodes with a vpn and my isp says they are not blocking them, but i was surprised that prior to the election they were blocked, ?
I also can get them on my Android Samsung Galaxy note 2 with no problem but on the Macmini cannot>/? I Unsubscribed and subscribed many times but still no luck, any ideas? I am waiting for the senior advisor to get back to me on this issue. I am in THailand now where the problem is happening and as I said the ISP says they do not block any podcasts.I also do not want it on my iphone 5, so I have to wait and see why the mac mini is not getting it.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Help me?! graph card problems when trying to play games on mac in wmvare-windows 7

I know that you aren't suppose too play games on mac. But I bought a iMac 27"
Processor 3,5 GHz Intel Core i7
Minne 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Grafik NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB
and I installed wmvare and windows 7 so I could do gameplays for my YouTube channel on PC games. I didn't boot because I were insecure but anyways. I installed wmvare and windows 7 sucesfully but then when I were going too try too run the game Black Ops 2 in steam it poped up a message that told me
"DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the readme for possible solutions." So I sat for hours trying too understand what the problem was, trying to update DirectX with more. Since I already had the latest DirectX that wasent the problem. And finaly I found the sulution. There were some problem with the grapich card so I needed too upgrade the grapich card. Well ofcourse NIVIDIA didn't have any driver for the GTX 775M grapich card. I checked here https://discussions.apple.com/message/24065327#24065327 and used the link that took me to were I could dowload the drivers. When the dowloading were done and I started the system check after a while it stoped and told me that the NVIDIA installation coulden't go on. Becuase this graphics routine could not find any compatible graphics hardware. So what is the sulution? Because I am not going (I have already put so much money on this) pay more for this too work so as ordering new stuff like a driver, another grapich card or anything lika that I dont want to boot my computer but if I must I perhaps will do it just if I dont need to pay for another windows 7. So I want a awnser were I can and how I can dowload the drivers so that I can play games on my mac for exampel; Black Ops 2, Battelfield 3/4, The Forest, Day Z. Would be greatfull for awnsers that have a sulution!!!!

Okey, so when I was going too boot my computer it works good untill half the way thruh when boot campassistant is going too dowload the latest windows assistant it says "This computer can just do windows 7" then I press next after a few seconds it says "Can't dowload files because the server is busy" (this was just from my memory it may have been somthing else, but it is pretty much what it said). So how do I fix this, the easiest thing too just press a few buttons and choose a ISO image and the it can't even proseed to the pratipation....

My iTunes library will no longer sync to my iPhone or iPad, nor will it play from my Mac. My Library is on my external HD. iTunes is correctly looking to the HD as its library. Please help...

Guys, I found another user and what he said to do worked!!! I have copied the information below:
This was 1 of the things that happend to me too, the other one was that at the bottom of the itunes page were it says all the memory info, it marked that I had over 3gb of other memory wich I didn't.
Anyways what I did was to unmark the calendar, contacts etc. ( so that they wont sync with the computer ), pressed apply, then I marked all of them again, apply again and for last I pressed Sync wich is at the bottom right coner by the apply botton.
I'm not sure that had anything to do with it but it worked, my music appeard both of my itunes playlists and the ones I bought in itunes. Also the other memory dissapeard and it's all good.
I'm not sure this will help you but thats my 5 cents, if the problem continues its better to call customer service and ask for a technician.
Hope your problem gets solved. Have a nice day.

Is there a way to embed video in a PDF that will play on a Mac or iPad?

I am creating a training document in Acrobat XI Pro (converted from Word). I have embedded a video into the PDF that plays within the document, and it works fine on my PC. When the file is opened on a Mac or iPad, the video will not play. As another option, I embedded the video as a YouTube widget. Again, it plays fine on my PC but won't play on a Mac or iPad. As a third option, I've tried hyperlinking a screen shot of the YouTube video in my PDF. On my PC and iPad it will navigate me to my browser to play the video in YouTube, but is not functional on my Mac.
Would welcome suggestions. Ideally want one solution that will play on all 3 devices!
Thank you.

First of all, if you want to run video inside a .pdf on an iPad, you should be aware that the Adobe Tablet and Mobile reader does NOT support rich media ( audio or video ). Despite trying to encourage Adobe to 'get real', it seems that they have no intention to do so in the short term. SO ... I have been working with a company called Readdle, and beta testing their 'PDF Expert' application, and it is probably the most sophisticated .pdf reader for iOS on the market.
It supports rich media, and certain levels of JavaScript that are particularly useful for this kind of work.
However, if all you want to do is insert video into a single .pdf document, that will run on iOS ( with 'PDF Expert only' ) as well as desktop Mac or PC, the video needs to be h264 .mp4 format ( basically avoid ANY based Flash content for iOS ).
You should also note, that active Buttons ( not hyperlinks, which are different ) which you might wish to create in say InDesign or even Acrobat, need to be made up of just imagery (and that also means converting your text to outlines ). However, this is only necessary for iOS with PDF Expert. Also be aware that I have not done much work which includes .pdf on Android.
I do think though that if you stick with basic navigation, avoid active 'Layers' authoring and only want to run simple video, the h264 .mp4 encoding is going to work across ALL platforms.

DVD plays on earlier macs but not on mine

I have a mac from 2009. I want to play a dvd that plays on earlier macs but my dvd player won't even recognise that there is a dvd. It whirrs a bit and then spits it out. Please help.
Thanks,
Tamara

Hi Tamara,
I have a macbook
The forums for the Macbooks having a black or a white plastic case are here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=248
If you Macbook has an aluminum case, post here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=249
If there are specific or recurring issues with MacBook DVD drives, it should show up in one of those forums.
If you want help figuring out exactly which Mac variant you have, do "About this Mac..." from the Apple menu at the left end of the menubar, then click on "More Info..." in the resulting window. If you copy and paste the results in the "Hardware Overview" into a post--EXCEPT for the serial number--people here can translate the info and make sure you find the proper forum for your Mac. For example, that info for my old PowerMac I like to use is:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,6
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 1.75 GB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.4.8f2
Serial Number: <removed>
Although yours won't have exactly the same info, this shows the format you are seeking. Note how I deleted the serial number. This type of info gets you help faster because it avoids a lot of "back-and-forth" posts trying to figure out machine-specific details.

Are you using HDMI or an Apple Airplay Module to go to the TV Speakers?
If you are using an HDMI it's straight through output. The internal speakers are disabled.
If you are using an Airplay Module:
- Go on iTunes
- Locate the Airplay icon that has a TV with an up arrow icon much like your iPhone has for Bluetooth
- Click on that and Airplay to ModuleName

I have a .mov file that plays on my mac but when someone tries to play it on a pc, they get an error 128 message. Help! Please!

This is not the problem. We are using quicktime on the pc's and the mac. I also tried to open the file on the pc with other programs and it doesn't recognize the file. The file opens fine on my mac but I cannot save it as a new file. It says that "the end of the file was reached." The recording was made in iShowU then edited in Quicktime Pro.

When Brother plays Xbox I lose internet

Hi
Here what I got:
Protocol Support
The CG814WG supports the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
• IP Address Sharing by NAT
The CG814WG allows several networked PCs to share an Internet account using only a single IP address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP). This technique, known as Network Address Translation (NAT), allows the use of an inexpensive single-user ISP account.
• Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP
The CG814WG dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, gateway, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of PCs on your local network.
• DNS Relay
When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the gateway provides its own address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The gateway obtains actual DNS addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN.
I can connect to an access point, but I cannot connect to other computers on
the network or the Internet.
This could be a physical layer problem or a network configuration
problem.
Check to make sure that the access point is physically connected to the Ethernet network. Make sure that the IP addresses and the Windows
networking parameters are all configured correctly.
Restart the cable or DSL modem, router, access point, and notebook PC.
Taken from Page C10 from:

Good Luck.
