Setting my NAT for use with XBOX 360

I am having an issue with playing with certain friends on xbox live where their NAT is usually Moderate. Mine seems to fluctuate randomly between Open and Moderate and our connections always seem much better when they are both Moderate (they are the limiting factor, I think it's their ISP). I would like to know how to set the Time capsule so I can set my NAT to Moderate when I play with these folks and back to open other times. I know how to go into the 360 network settings and then I go into manual network setup, but I don't know the numbers to type in, and I also don't know how to connect to the time capsule's setting page. Is that on the web or is that a preference page on the mac somewhere. I haven't been able to find anything online on how to set the NAT to moderate, as I understand OPEN is generally better in most circumstances, any help would be much appreciated.

The TC can be used in bridge mode plugged into the router.
Yes, I should have been more clear. When you turn NAT "off", the TC will be in Bridge Mode. But, only one device will be able to connect to the Internet in this setting. If that device is the Xbox, fine.....but other users might not be pleased about this if they want to connect to the Internet as well.
I think LaPastenagure nailed it when he noted that Apple products do not appear on the list of Xbox compatible devices.

Toast9 for use with Xbox 360??

Can I use Toast 9 to make a HD DVD for use on my xbox 360?? How does it work? Do I export the movie when I am done editing it with iMovie '08 to Toast? When I export now it the most it will allow is 960x540...will this change once I have Toast9?
Thanks

afaik, 'dead horse' HDDVD is supported out-of-the-box..
indeed, for BR media, you need the BR-plug-in..

Full-quality export settings for use with Xbox 360

Greetings, all.
I use Rivet to stream video from my Mac to my Xbox 360. Recently I purchased a Sony HDR-HC5 HDV camera, and I want to see that video on my TV at full quality. I don't have an HDMI cable or a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so my only option is to stream this video to the 360 via Rivet.
To accomplish this, I have been trying to export my video at full quality from iMovie HD 6, but one of a couple things happens: 1- the resolution is intolerably low (I want 1080i), 2- the 360 complains about an unsupported format. I've tried exporting in QT format with expert settings, but no matter what I try, I have been unable to find a combination that produces 1080i that can be viewed on the 360.
Surely somebody else on here has gone through this exercise and has figured out what works. If you have any info on this, please share! I searched through the archives and didn't find anything useful. I've also searched on Google and the answer is still elusive.
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but the Xbox will in fact view MPEG-4, which iMovie can export. The only problem I'm having is with the quality of the output. The quality is in the movie that is exported, not in the Xbox's viewing of the movie - the movie looks just as bad on my Mac mini as it does thru my Xbox...
With experimentation, I think I'm getting closer to my goal...

Possible to use the MBP display for use with XBOX 360 through DVI port?

Hi everyone, I know that the topic sounds ludicrous to probably a lot of you. After all, how dare a Mac user use a Microsoft machine right ;)? Well, truth be told, I like the 360 and that's the only MS product I prefer to use.
Anyway, I'm going to be picking up my own 360 within the next few days and am currently deciding whether to also buy a new HDTV with the purchase or if I can wait. I'm going to be buying a new TV eventually but I was hoping to put off the purchase for a while since I remembered that the 360 can hook up to monitors through VGA. So what I want to know is whether the DVI port on my MBP is output only or will it accept input signals? Also, if it is possible to hook up my 360 through the DVI port, is there an easy way to attach the DVI-VGA adapter to the 360 seeing? By this I mean, the adapter is only about three inches or so and it would be pretty difficult to attach both machines to each other, so I was wondering if there might be a female-female VGA adapter bridge or some easy method of doing this.
Thank you all for your help in advance.

Outsider,
Check out this link and enjoy the 360 on your MBP!

Saving Settings for use with Export using Quicktime Conversion

Dear All,
Is it possible to save a set of settings for use with the Export using Quicktime Conversion feature? The reason I ask is that we have to export a quicktime of every tv commercial we make (using the same settings) and it would be great if "one click" could deliver the export settings we need.
All the best, Sean

Well, you can create a droplet from Compressor that would do what you'd like...
Open compressor and in the Help menu, Select the user manual. Navigate to page 315.

How does one install non-English character sets for use with the "find" function in Acrabat Pro 11?

I have pdf files in European languages and want to be able to enter non-English characters in the "find" function. How does one install other character sets for use with Acrobat Pro XI?

Have you tried applying the update by going to Help>Updates within Photoshop Lightroom? The update should be using the same licensing? Did you perhaps customize the installation location? Finally which operating system are you using?

Is there a set up tutorial for using Outlook with iCloud

I am using Outlook on my PC (windows 7 and Outlook 2010)
1. Is there a set up tutorial for using Outlook with iCloud?
2. Please clarify, I don't need to set up a XXX@me email account to get iCloud to sync with Outlook, correct?
3. My emails appear to by syncing, but the Outlook Calendar does not sync its Pre-Cloud entries with my Iphone and IPad. Is this what is to e expected?
4. If I put a calendar entry on my PC's Outlook Calendar, it should sync with my Iphone and Ipad correct? Again, what about entries that were made in Outlook before I signed up for iCloud?
I am hoping there is a simple step by step tutorial somewhere, because I am pretty disappointed with Apple about how confusing this is all becoming.

Hello:
Sorry I can't bring you a solution but I am surprised your mail is working. Many of us with outlook 2010 seem to be having trouble sending. It seems apple's Pxx-smpt.mail.me.com server is rejecting the loging. I have tried it on three PC's with Win7 and Outlook 2010. It simply does not work after installing from the iCloud control panel. I have also manually configured the servers, encryption method, etc to no avail.
On the positive side, Calenda and contacts does work. First time around, the claendar duplictaed everything but I manually cleans it out. The iCloud calendar is a seperate calendar in Outlook. It seems to perform a sync with your local calendar one time. From them on, I beleive you need to use the iCloud calendar to have the same appointments show on each device. I renamed the defaut iClouds calendar to "iCloud Calendar". It's definatelly confusing and not seamless. It would be nicer to sync your OL calendar permenantly so you don;t see two or more.
Let me know your settings for iCloud email on Outlook. Try sending an email from the @me.com account.
Thanks,
Kevin

Using a Xbox 360 controller with Qosmio G30

Hi,
I'm trying to use the xbox 360 controller with pro evo soccer 2010 on my laptop.
At first it was flashing, but then it stopped.
The drivers and everything have installed correctly, is there any other way???
In device manager, there are no exclamation marks, it seems fine.
But the game wont play, unless I use the keyboard.

Hello
Maybe the controller is faulty.
Have you tested it on your Xbox 360 and does it work?
Can you also test another controller?

Hey kole71,
That particular model of Plantronics is compatible for PC gaming but not Xbox 360. Plantronics does have some headsets that work with 360, and I've attached a PDF of the chart found on their website. Hope that helps!

Doesn't play songs, "itunes is not configured for use with mac-formatted"??

Hi, new ipod shuffle. Seems to charge fine, all indicator lights function as expected. Everything looks fine in itunes. But it doesn't play songs. I have the most recent versions of itunes and the ipod software. Re-set, updated, and restored, nothing works. Even restored using the restore utility. Re-started computer. Checked for volume control. Won't play songs. Tried different file types. Songs play fine from itunes library and from the device's library within itunes. Tried different headphones. Hooked it up to computer speakers. Turning volume all the way up on device and speakers, heard some very faint rhythmic static, so my guess is the jack socket (or whatever you call it) is just messed up, but it seems weird that it can transfer power and data to the device but doesn't work for sound...
The only other issues that have come up is that the drive disappears in explorer once it syncs with itunes. Other people who've noticed this seem to have completely different problems so I don't think it's related.
Also, I have MacDrive on my computer. And when it starts up with the ipod plugged in, MacDrive offers the message "Itunes is not configured for use with Mac-formatted ipods." It offers to automatically reconfigure itunes so it can read mac-formatted ipods. Since I've restored the device, I don't see why formatting should be an issue so I say "no."
Should I try letting macdrive do its format thing? Should I try formatting the ipod disk on the My Computer menu? Or should I just email apple and tell them the jack's busted?
Thanks for any thoughts!

Well, I have had my iPod for about 3 years, it is a 4th generation non-video 40 GB. One day it just stopped working, and now it does not play any songs. when I turn it on it makes this odd whirring sounds that computers make when they try really hard to do something. I cannot charge it, and it is not recognized by iTunes. Also when I turn it on, I get the apple.com/ipod/support (or whatever it is) screen. Needless to say, my warranty is expired, and so I cannot do anything for it except get a new battery, or buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this problem, or anyone out there who is experiencing the same thing?
I'm having the exact same problem with my wife's iPod. However it will play about 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next song.
If there is anyone out there that can help please do!

HT1665 I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad. can the plug adapters also be used on the Mac Pro charger to charge up my laptop when travelling or is a special converter needed.M

I have a World Travel Adapter Kit for use with my iPad when traveling abroad. I know this charger can be used on an iPhone, can the plug adapters also be used with the charger of a Mac Book Pro or is a special converter required?

Is there any concern about the type of travel adapter kit? For instance, some instructions indicate they are for heat creating appliances (hairdryers, curling irons, etc.). I bought such a set, but do they present any issues if used with more delicate electronic circuitry (for iPads, iPods, or with camera battery chargers). I am leaving for the UK on Monday and need to get it right - are they too strong for the Apple products if they are not to be used with computers? What other options are out there?

Partitioning an ext. HD for use with Time Machine HFS+/FAT32

Hi, I hope that this question is not already answered somewhere - I did a couple of searches but couldn't find the answers I need.
I'm setting up an external LaCie 500GB HD (USB 2.0) for a friend, in order to use it for Time Machine backups (one partition) and as a non-backuped "data dump" (music / films etc.).
My plan is the following: Partition the ext. HD into a 200 GB HFS+ Journaled partition for use with Time Machine, and a 300 GB FAT32 partition for data (FAT32 to ensure the interoperability with PCs).
I have a couple of questions (apart from if you think the proposed setup is good in general):
1. The Time Machine partition would be used to back up a MacBook with a 120GB HD - in your opinion, is 200GB too much/enough/too less space?
2. In general, does Time Machine work with partitions on ext. HDs as seen in the setup I propose? (or should I use a drive with only one partition?)
3. are there any possible problems I might run into when partitioning a drive into two different file systems as HFS+ and FAT32?
4. Is it OK to use the Leopard Disk Utility for this or should I use another application?
thanks a lot for your answers!

Hi,
Could you please share the answers you found?
I'm going through a very similar situation...
Thanks!
Beto.
