Use macbook for xbox display

Just bought a 13 macbookpro.  How do I use the Macbook pro display to play xbox?

It is called Target Display Mode.  And it is only possible if the you have the right cables.   Mind you capturing gameplay is likely illegal, as most of the work in gameplay is copyrighted.

  • Using MacBook Pro as display and keyboard

    Morning.
    I have an Mac mini Server 2,53 10.6.4 without display and without keyboard. How can I use my MacBook Pro as display and keyboard to configure the server?

    If you are setting up a server you can use Server Admin tools to set up a new server remotely. You would need to install the Server Admin tools on your MacBook Pro and then do the remote install procedure.
    You need to collect the serial number and the Mac Address of the Mac Mini Server to enter in as the information in the Remote Install during the installation process you will be prompted to chose Remote Management and SSH for options that way you will be able to connect to the Server Remotely at anytime when configuring or afterwards.

  • Expecting not to use MacBook for a month -- disconnect battery (or not)?

    I recall seeing some guidelines for when to remove a MacBook battery if you are expecting not to use your MacBook for a while.
    Is non-use for *a month* long enough to recommend removing a battery, or is that only necessary for longer periods (two months or longer?
    I assume there's no reason to leave the charger connected (?)
    Thanks. Replies appreciated.

    "Long term" non-use would be more than 4 months. For one month, it's fine to leave the battery in. No reason to leave the AC connected, just shut down the MB.
    Hope this helps...
    Thanks.

  • Using Macbook Pro as display and keyboard for a PC

    I have a macbook pro, but I want to build a high end gaming pc eventually, but not only would i have to build the CPU, but I would also have to acquire a monitor and keyboard and all that jazz. It really cranks up a hefty price tag.
    Then the thought occurred to me, that I already have a monitor and keyboard on my macbook. Wouldn't it be great if I could use my macbook in those capacities for the PC, basically reversing the flow of information from the miniDV port and the USB ports.
    I highly doubt it's possible but I thought I would put the idea out there and maybe something would come of it in the future.

  • Using Macbook without lid/display (and mounted upside down)

    I have a MBP with a damaged LCD that I want to connect to a kitchen HDTV and mount upside down. Since the display is useless, don't need a camera, and I want easy access to the power button, I want to remove the lid and mount the MBP upside down to the underside of a above-counter kitchen cabinet (not enclosed). Is there any problem with removing the lid and mounting/operating upside down? Makes for a sweet kitchen internet station, and will be very cool to have the MBP and cables mounted out of sight (wireless keyboard/mouse of course!).

    BSteely, thanks for the response. Unfortunately I started dissasembly before I checked back on the forum. I removed the damaged LCD and got crazy and removed the lid frame. I continuously checked the MBP operation after each step to make sure it was still working (using external display). The only thing I did not check along the way was internet access (wireless router). I ended up cutting the connection to what I believe is the antenna/receiver? Because when I mounted the MBP under the cabinet and turned it on, everything worked fine except no internet access. I am in the process of trying to reconnect the wires on what I think is the antenna (was mounted in the bottom of the lid/hinge area. Do you think this is my problem? Other than that everything working OK so far.

  • Using Macbook as 2nd Display

    Question, I'm using a latest model 21 inch imac running logic pro. I also own a 2009 Macbook pro and I am wondering if it is possible to use this as a 2nd display so I can put Logic's mixer window in it and work on 2 screens.
    What cable would I need to do this?
    Thanks
    Scott

    What cable would I need to do this?
    Ethernet or wirelessly, plus a product such as ScreenRecycler. Conventional video in isn't available on most Macs.

  • Buying a used MacBook for Premiere Pro CS4

    I've been in the market for a MacBook to do some HD video editing.  I  found a deal through someone selling an older (non-Unibody) white  MacBook with the software I need (Adobe CS4 suite).  After researching  this MacBook, which was released in 2008, I'm not sure if it'll perform  the way I need it to.
    Here's the specs of what I may be buying (some upgrades have been made):
    2.26Ghz Intel Core2Duo processor(s) with 3MB L2 (per core)cache
    4GB DDR2 PC5300 Crucial RAM
    320GB Western Digital Scorpio Black 7200RPM hard drive
    From what I understand, the graphics processor is an Intel GMA X3100,  which I have come to understand is not a good enough GPU to do  high-end things like editing and gaming.
    Here's my issue:
    The system comes installed with Adobe CS4 suite, and I plan on using  Premiere Pro intensively to edit 720p/1080p video shot with a Canon 7D.   I've read that software like Final Cut Pro 7 requires a  dedicated graphics card and not something integrated like the GMA X3100.
    Right now, I can't afford a MacBook Pro, and I need a system soon.  My  question is, will this system be able to handle HD video editing  through Premiere (or comparable software)?
    Any help is appreciate, thanks.

    The CPU might get you by, if you do not edit AVCHD, and the RAM might be OK too. However, the single HDD WILL be an issue, especially with HD material. The embedded Intel graphics chip will very, very likely cause issues too. Intel does good chips, BUT they are usually horribly behind on drivers for those.
    Personally, I'd look for a much more powerful unit, with at least 3x internal HDD's (or one that can use eSATA externals), and a separate nVidia, or ATI graphics card.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Using macbook with xbox 360.

    I was wondering if I could hook up my xbox 360 to play through my future macbook. How well would that run? Or should I just not even try to attempt that?

    Are you asking if you could hook up your xbox to the mac to play games on the mac?
    If that is what your asking, I don't think it work work, I am sure you would be able to find a way, but it would be very slow. So I would suggest that you don't even try. I am not even sure if you could do that.

    Unfortunately, that is not possible. The computer only can "output" your display image, it cannot "input" an image from an external computer and display it on your MacBook's retina display.

  • Will an Infra-Red Adapter work with a macbook pro retina display so I can use the apple TV remote for presentations?

    I have always used the apple TV remote for my presentations.  I bought a retina display last year for the betterment of my presentations and now I have to stand near my computer and hit a button to change my slides where as before I used my remote.  Will a infra-red adapter work with the apple TV remote in the macbook pro retina display?  Love my computer, but very disappointed not to have a remote for presentations that does not need the internet.  Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Can I stream a movie from my Macbook to my Apple TV on one display, and still use my Macbook for other things?

    I have a Macbook Pro and an Apple TV. What I'd like to do is stream a movie from my CinemaNow Account to my television by using my Apple TV and my Macbook. I know that I can do this my using the mirroring feature, however then I can no longer use my Macbook for anything else because my TV will only display what is on the screen of my Macbook. Now with this is mind, what then is the point of having multiple displays through the use of my Apple TV, if only one display can be used at a time unless they both show the same image? Or is there a way for me to be able to stream the movie to my TV and still use my Macbook for other purposes (multi-tasking)? 

    To enable a second display over AirPlay, you first need to be connected to the same network as your Apple TV. Next, open System Preferences > Displays, and select your Apple TV from the “AirPlay Display” drop-down menu.
    Once you do this, your display may flash as the second display connection is acquired, and the Apple TV takes over as the second display. If the displays are mirrored, then you can correct this by opening the “Arrangement” tab in System Preferences > Displays, and ensuring that the “Mirror Displays” checkbox is unchecked.
    In this same “Arrangement” tab, you can move the displays around in the pane to ensure that they're positioned correctly, relative to your physical space (usually side-by-side, or top-down). The primary display here is denoted here by the Menu bar on the display. The arrangement helps with being able to drag windows from one display to the next: if your secondary display is arranged to be to the right of your primary one, for example, you can drag things to it through the right side of your primarcy screen.
