Ps3 connection to imac

hi guys!do you know if i could connect my imac (through the hdmi cable) with the ps3 and use the imac as a screen to play games??
many thanks!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Unfortunately at this time there is no way of getting HD into the iMac like that. Your cheapest option would be to add a Standard Definition TV tuner which would also have an S-Video input, but there may be some lag.
Elgato used to sell their +EyeTV 250+ and +EyeTV Hybrid+ products quoting this feature but no-longer mention it on their website:

Ps3 connecting to imac 27 "(2012)

Good morning;
I'm new to Apple, I bought less than a month ago, the iMac 27 ", especially to connect my PS3 via HDMI and told me that only could the 27".
I need to know which device I need, because so far leave much on the internet and I would like fanciest money that does not serve me at all.
Thank you very much for your help.
Sorry my English because I'm from Spain

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CReq 'Chann|GPU D|I/O' | tail | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the window will be empty. If you get output like this:
kernel[0] <Debug>: disk0s2: I/O error
the boot drive is failing, or there's some other hardware fault in the storage subsystem.
If you get output like any of this:
kernel[0] <Debug>: ** GPU Debug Info Start **
kernel[0] <Debug>: ** GPU Debug Info End **
kernel[0] <Debug>: NVDA(Private): Channel timeout!
kernel[0] <Debug>: NVDA(OpenGL): Channel timeout!
there's a fault in the graphics processor or logic board. The two kinds of output are not mutually exclusive, but if you get both, a logic-board fault is likely.

PS3 connect to IMac 27 late 2013

I am considering purchase an Imac27 (late 2013), nevertheless due to lack of space I intend to connect the PS3 to be displayed the IMAC 27 late 2013
Questions:
1. Can IMAC 27 ( late 2013) be used as an PS3 display ?
2. If the answer to the first questions is yes, what type of adaptors/cables are needed to a sucessfull PS3/Imac connection
3. Can IMAC ( late 2013 version) display PS3 games without losing any resolution or image quality ?

I'm not sure of anything.
You're there and know or can look and see what the socket in you wall looks like. As you are in Italy I assumed your outlet looks like
or if grounded there will be three pins.
Your Mac seems to have this type of plug on it. The UPS you are showing does not have this type of socket.
If you're in Italy it would seem the best thing is to buy from an Italian for at least European distributor. They should know what you need and have it.

Is there a way to connect PS3 to my iMac 21"?

HI,
it seems there is no way to connect my PS3 to the IMac 21"? Anybody can help? Thanks

Hello,
I think I read the PS3 only does VGA or such? If that'ds he case no, it'd need a MiniDisplay port.

Connecting a PS3 to my IMAC G5

Anyone knows if it is possible to connect a PS3 to an IMAC? My assumption is that I could connect it if I could find a mini display to HDMI adapter. Any thoughts? Recommendation?

J'ai relié ma PS3 via mini displayPort to HDMI converter with Audio.
Mais je n'y arrive pas.
Un coup de main par pitié.
Merci d'avance.

A few questions about using PS3 with 27" iMac display...

Hey people, I had a few questions about how I could possibly get my ps3 connected to the iMac's 27" screen. First of all, could you guys list some adapters that would be able to convert the HDMI to Mini displayport? That would be great. The only one I know of is that Dr. Bott Digital Video link.
Okay secondly, I was wondering if I do get the the ps3 connected with the iMac's display with an adapter to convert HDMI to mini DisplayPort, would it be in HD? Would I be able to play ps3 games or watch blu-ray movies in 1080p HD format?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
This has been asked a number of times here since the intro of the 27" iMac. The answer is very expensive US$149 or more converters and sometimes even more expensive to maintain the resolutions that you seek.

Converter to ps3 to my imac

i know theres tv converters like eyetv but does anyone know another converter for video game consoles, im trying to connect my ps3 to my imac so i dont have to buy a hdtv, if anyone can help me, thank you.

Sounds like the AV360 is faulty. Raise a support call with Belkin. Mine stopped working a few days ago and since the product has a "lifetime warranty", they should be able to replace it. They had replacement stock in Australia (where I am) but this might be hard in other parts of the world since they stopped manufacturing these in 2010 (I think). When you raise a support call, the model number is Part # F2CD007 :)

How to play PS3 on new iMac?(imac as a display)

Hey All,
I bought the new iMac on late 2012, it's a 27" one, it only has thunderbolt ports, no mini display ports like the older ones
Altough I'm too busy I'd love to play PS3 once and while, just too lazy to hook up with a huge TV, so I'm wondering
how do I play PS3 with my iMac? I'd like to know what kind of other equipments/cables I need to buy with this new iMac
Much appreciated!
Roger

You can't do that. Macs with Thunderbolt ports can only be used as an external display for other Macs with Thunderbolt. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302
Unfortunately, the Target Display mode of the iMac only works with Thunderbolt (in the case of Macs with Thunderbolt) or Mini DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort cables, so it's not compatible with any adapters. As a PlayStation 3 hasn't got a Thunderbolt or Mini DisplayPort connector, you can't connect it to the iMac

How to connect my Imac to my HDTV

I have a 2007 aluminum Imac and a 50 inch 1080p HDTV. is there anyway I could connect my Imac to the tv and control it via wireless mouse and keyboard... The rear connections on the tv are 3 hdmi, 2 component, s-video and AV.. Please let me know what is easiest, fastest, most reliable and produces the best picture.. Thanks so much!
Also I might get the new 13 inch macbook pro, what would I need in order to connect that?

I am not familiar with this new mini-DVI to HDMI cable. Sounds interesting. There is a Mac user reporting an issue in trying to use one of these in the Intel-based iMac display forum. He is using a mini-DVI to HDMI adapter and an HDMI to HDMI cable plugged into a HDMI port on his plasma TV and nothing is happening. But he is also reporting the same issue with mini-DVI to VGA adapter and an VGA to VGA cable plugged into the VGA port on his plasma TV. So the problem may not involve this mini-DVI to HDMI adapter.
I use Apple's mini-DVI to DVI adapter connected to a Belkin DVI to HDMI cable plugged into the HDMI port on my LG LCD HDTV with great success with my new Early 2009 Mac mini. The Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter came with my Mac mini and I bought the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable at the Apple Store when I bought the Mac mini. Both are also available from the Apple Store online for US$19 each.
The MacBook Pro has a mini-DisplayPort. Apple also has a mini-DisplayPort to DVI adapter for US$29. So that could also connect with the Belkin DVI to HDMI cable.
I did Google for a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and there are a few 3rd party venders of this adapter as well.

How to connect my imac to my tv ?

How do I connect my Imac to my TV ? Is there an easy way, Any body can help? I'm new to the Mac world.
Thank you in advance

What do you want to achieve? If the goal is to use the TV as an external monitor then get a mini display port to HDMI, DVI or VGA depending on the connections the TV has. You can find each adapter at the Apple Store either online or at a store close to you.
Also PLEASE complete your profile, we need this information in order to be able to assist you. Click the the Your Stuff link in the upper right and then click Profile and fill out the pertinent information.

How do i connect my iMac to my tv to see movies with wire

how do i connect my iMac to my tv to see movies with wire

Hey rodskc10,
Thanks for the question! Based on the iMac model and TV you have, you’ll need to pick up a compatible cable. There are a few options that can be found on the Apple Online Store:
Mac Cables - Computer Audio & Video Adapters, Network Cables & More - Apple Store (U.S.)
http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/cables#!
For example, if you have the latest iMac and an HDTV, a mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable should do the job (you’ll connect this to the Thunderbolt port, which is backwards compatible with mini DisplayPort).
For additional information, see this article:

How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

How can I connect my iMac to a TV for playback of videos? My TV does not have HDMI.

You need to find out what video out you have on your iMac, and what kind of video inputs there are on your TV.
It will help to know exactly what model iMac and exactly what make/model TV you have.
Depending on the exact model iMac you have, it may have miniVGA, miniDVI, miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output. Your TV may have composite, S-video, component, DVI, VGA or HDMI inputs. Once you confirm what kind of ports your iMac and TV have, then we can probably suggest the correct cable or adapter so you can connect them to each other.
