Tv, xbox 360, powerbook, itunes

Is it possible to use our airport express to play the xbox 360, be on the internet with the laptop, and listen to itunes from my imac?
i know NOTHING about it, but my hubby says that he disconnected the music on the airport so that he could use his laptop in the den and play the xbox. but can't we do it all without switching anything around?
thanks!

my husband said he switched something to make it work with his xbox and that he would switch it back if i wanted to listen to itunes. is there an option on this switch to have my husband getting his signal for his laptop while i'm listening to my itunes? or am i completely lost and he is just saying this to keep me out of his stuff?

Xbox 360 and iTunes DRM free

Excuse me if this has already been asked, the search feature is disabled.
I am unable to stream my DRM free songs purchased on iTunes to my 360. I thought they were DRM free? I can convert them to MP3 but then that would eat up a lot of space on my hard drive. Is there any other way around this? Thanks.

I have a friend that had the same problem, what you do is individually on each song (or album) whichever you prefer and right click on the song and the menu will come up, there will be an option that says "Create AAC Version" select that and it will create that version of the material and you can burn a cd or put on your xbox

Iphone 4 Video and Xbox 360 as my PC's Windows Media Center

I noticed that all video formats play perfectly over my Xbox 360 except for video shot with my iphone 4. It plays the video in slow motion while the audio is at regular speed. It's very annoying. Is their a fix for this or do I just need to convert the iphone 4 videos to h264 mp4, or regular mp4? Any quick fixes so I don't have to do the converting? When I play them on my HP they play just fine. I'm assuming it has something to do with the Xbox 360 not having an updated codec. Any ideas will be tried.
Thanks

I'm in the same Xbox 360 boat. I'm also amazed at the lack of information on this problem since the iPhone 4 has been out so long and the Xbox 360 received an update long after.
It has to be a codec issue since the Xbox 360 can play 1080p content. The iPhone 4 720p video can't be more intensive than 1080p.
While I'm at it why can't the Xbox 360 play iTunes Plus and iTunes Lossless audio, they're DRM free (I use Connect360 to get around the issue)? Seriously, Microsoft has to be doing it on purpose. Every attempt I've made to get this question answered has been met with a MS wall.

Converting purchased iTunes song files to Xbox 360 friendly format?

I know you can right click on a song and select Create AAC version. Is there any way to do this so that the converted file REPLACES the old one, and I don't have a load of duplicates to clear? Thanks

I know this is an older post, but I myself have recently discovered that my Xbox 360 will not play the Protected or Purchased AAC files from my iPod. I understand that I can convert the Purchased AAC files to AAC and then the song will play on my Xbox; however, the problem with that is not only does it create a duplicate in my iTunes library, but when you go to remove the Purchased AAC file (as you already made an AAC copy of it), the song is also removed from your playlists. The library is now the only place the AAC file is stored in. It isn't enough that one must convert the songs to AAC format and then delete the duplicate, they have to redo their playlists. If you've discovered this by now and know of a way to make it easier to play the Purchased AAC files on the Xbox, please let me know. I'd like to save myself A LOT of trouble.

Itunes Plus Music+Tversity+Xbox 360=?

I am using the computer program called Tversity as a media extender for my Xbox 360. I cant play Itunes plus music which i should be able to because it is unprotected AAC. It is able to play non-Itunes Plus stuff(c.d. ripps and stuff). So why doesent itunes plus work with Tversity? Is it unsupported or something?

It's not a matter of DRM (iTunes Plus is DRM-free,you did not assume wrongly) -- it's whether or not AAC files will play on your 360. To my knowledge, they do not play unless you've downloaded some sort of AAC codec to your 360. I am not sure where to download it -- but I am pretty sure it's free.

Xbox 360 will not play iTunes Plus songs!

I recently upgraded several iTunes albums to iTunes Plus versions so I could play these files on my Xbox 360, but the Xbox 360 will not play these files! If I convert the purchased files to 'AAC Audio' from within iTunes then the resultant files will play fine on the Xbox, but I am concerned this extra recoding step will affect the sound quality of the music. Why don't the 'Purchaed AAC' files work in the first place? They are supposed to be DRM free.

I have both 2mb and a 4mb 'media update' installed if that's what you mean. I also tried re-downloading one of them - I could only find one on marketplace.

ITunes and XBox 360

Can you play iTunes Plus (DRM free) music on the XBox 360?

If AAC format is compatible with the xBox, then yes.

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.

Time Capsule, hardwired to TWO xbox 360's, and NAT issues.

Hello All,
I currently have an older Linksys WRT54G (version 1.0 LOL) which has been working fine for years. I recently bought my son an XBOX 360 for Christmas and we went through the issues of NAT and Call of Duty, and basically I have become quite knowledgeable on this topic. I recently added a SECOND XBOX 360, as it became apparent that one would not do with three boys in the house (Plus COD is a blast on line).
So I created a second Live Account and got the two xbox's running online stably with NAT wide open on both. This required abandoning the Linksys Firmware and installing "Tomato" on the WRT54G. That works GREAT. No modifications were required for the rest of the network including...
Macbook by Wifi, Minimac Hardwired (ya ya wifi works but hardwire is better), Airport Express (used only to stream music to stereo in family room - from ANY PC/MAC running Itunes...Itunes is VERY NICE), HP printer with network adapter, 5 other PC's including a mix of VISTA, XP, XP Pro, and multiple IPHONES, A Palm Tungsten C, WII, DS and of course the two hard wired XBOXs. NO Problems. The Tomato configuration only required the modifications for the XBOXs specifically as the rest of the network settings were not change after the firmware update.
What am I interested in? I'd like to upgrade to a Time Capsule for several reasons. One Newer wifi, faster, two frequencies, backup space for growing Mac branch of our network, and as the internet sharing router. AND to be able to access the TC from the internet for file access anywhere! LOVE THAT FEATURE. This requires the TC to be the first device after the cable modem as far as I can tell at this point. (any input on this specific feature would be great).
So I want to configure the TC with the input from the Cable modem as the main distribution of the internet. Then from the other NETWORK ports connect to my 20 port router for the rest of the house, as well as to the other items currently connected at the site of the current LinkSys Router (Mac Mini, Sony TV).
Also I need to maintain the current XBOX set up with (as well as Wii) with full open NAT on both XBOXs.
My question: Anyone here currently using the TC for hardwired connectivity for an XBOX with XBOX live running with open NAT for TWO XBOXs?
The issues with NAT and TWO XBOXs is that you cannot simply use PORT FORWARDing or PORT Triggering to make sure that the traffic goes to the correct xbox. The XBOX uses specific communication ports and the ROUTER needs to keep the traffic flowing properly or you get disconnected or never get open NAT (must have for XBOX live and internet gaming). There are many write ups on using Port Forwarding for one XBOX and setting the second one in the DMZ, but this does not work all the time.
The "Tomato" firmware on the LINKSYS allows fooling the router into giving a 'pseudo static' ip address to the XBOX's by doing MAC address based reservation of an IP number and then letting the DHCP give the xbox an IP address. The MAC address based reservation makes sure that the XBOX always gets the same IP address which for some GD reason must be in order for the traffic to be routed to the correct device. (you can of course use the same MAC address reservation for any device on the network).
Second Question: For those using the TC AND a second WiFi Router to do WIRELESS connection to the XBOX - which device do you have configured as the main INTERNET sharing router? I have read hear what appears to state that the TC is the main router and the other WiFi the secondary. Thus the ROUTING is still being done by the TC and the other wifi device is being used simply as a WiFi Access point/switch. If this is the case would the firmware on the TC allow the proper routing for TWO XBOXs on the network?
Thank you,
Mike

The ports are 53, 80, 88, and 3074. Since you are trying to make two Xbox consoles use those ports and you are trying to connect to a server, what you need to do is to use Port Range Triggering. You can't use Port Range Forwarding since it will only set those ports into listening mode to the IP address you set it. So if you use Port Range Forwarding it will only be open/available to one console(the one using the IP address).
You need to use PORT RANGE TRIGGERING. Disable Port Range Forwarding and DMZ. You need to enable UPnP as well if your Linksys router have this option (other model doesn't have this option but it is said to be enabled in default settings according to their tech support).
To solve the lag problem set your MTU size to 1364. This settings will work even if you have one or multiple consoles running behind the router.

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

++++Xbox 360 to Imac driving me nuts+++

Hi everyone,
New to all this networking stuff really so would love some advice from anyone out there. I currently have my Imac G5 connected via ethernet to my cable modem, this works fine. I also have an Xbox 360 with the wireless adapter. What I would like to do is share my connection from my Imac using the built in airport card to my xbox 360. I am now totally lost because I have tried all manner of things and I'm having no luck whatsoever.
By the way I used to own a Sony PSP (has built in Wireless) and I linked that no problems just be activating Internet Sharing on the Imac.
Any help would be very very very much appreciated! : )
Regards
djdenyer
Imac G5 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8) Help!!

I just recently did this but shared my powerbook g4 connection through ethernet. I'm pretty sure it won't be that different for your situation. Note that the instructions are for the original xbox but I have used these settings for the 360 too.

AirPort Express as a Wireless Adapter For Xbox 360 and to stream PC audio?

Ok, so I am wondering if I can do this config with an AirPort express. I want to connect the AirPort to my existing WiFi, and be able to plug in an Ethernet cable connected to an Xbox 360 to get Xbox Live, as well as stream audio from my PC. Is this possible to do at once? Also, is it possible to stream PC audio, not just iTunes music? Thanks for your time.

Hello podalex,
Just an FYI for you with regard to the Airport Express:
It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out about hardware and software compatibility.)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and "software".
There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/default.aspx
In any event a lot of the times, Vista drivers will work in lieu of Windows 7 drivers, however, it's not 100%!
As stated previously, it's best to have the Windows 7 certified drivers installed.
Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum located here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/w7itpro/ . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to check the threads available there for additional assitance and support.
