Problem using iPod with Xbox 360

I have always used my iPod to listen to music while I play games on my Xbox 360, until recently. My 360 no longer recognizes my iPod by name and it is just listed as something generic like external usb device and when I click on it there is no music on it. My iPod is otherwise fully functional when it is not connected to my 360 and my roomate's iPod still works fine with my 360 so i must have changed a setting or something, but I refuse to restore my iPod to factory settings and lose all my music. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm wondering if I should just go to settings, reset all settings. I'm reluctant to try this because I don't know if it will delete my music like if you restore your iPod. Any thoughts on any of this would be much appreciated.

Get this, I was fooling around and found a way to play songs from my iPod on my 360, sort of. When I click on portable device from my 360 or my iPod from my computer desktop three folders appear. Calendars, Contacts and Notes. If I drag songs from my iTunes library to any of these three folders within my iPod icon on my desktop, I can open that folder on my 360 and play the songs in it! The problem is that the sound quality is terrible and it doesn't use my iPod equalizer because things in these folders are not considered music so they are not treated like music when I click on them. In iTunes when I click on my iPod and it has a status bar showing my free space, music space, and other space on my iPod the songs that I put in the Notes folder show up in orange as taking up other space instead of music. Anyway this doesn't really solve my probem so I'm still open to suggestions and/or a number I can call for help.

It depends on what kind of inputs your TV has. If it has HDMI, miniDisplayPort, DisplayPort, DVI or VGA then then answer is yes and all you need is the proper adapter & cable.
Your 2009 iMac probably has a miniDisplayport output. If your TV has an HDMI input then you need the Apple miniDisplayport-DVI Adapter plus a DVI-to-HDMI cable like this one. Note you may also need an audio cable; normally this is a 3.5mm male stereo on one end and 2x RCA male on the other, but it depends on the kind of audio connection(s) your TV has.
Here is more information about the Apple miniDisplayport adapters that are available. I have NEVER had a problem with ANY of the Apple adapters. There are also third-party adapters that may be higher or lower priced but I have not had good experience with them.

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.

Stream ipod to xbox 360?

my ipod doesnt work on any xbox 360s. i was wondering if there was a program that can share/stream my ipod music from itunes to my 360. i found a program called connect360 but it only browses my itunes library, not my ipod. all my music is on my ipod to save harddrive space. thanks

Hi viceng,
I've been using connect360 (paid the $20) and it's a fantastic program, it was designed to be a streaming plug-in to your media library. I've yet to find a similar program that allows you to access the mounted iPod and stream it out across the network.
With that being said, the iPod was not designed to be the only location for your music. My understanding is that Apple always envisioned the iPod to be a way to take the media on your computer with you, not have it as the primary storage location.

IPod to Xbox 360

Hi guys, I recently bought an Xbox 360 and it rules. One of the great features is being able to listen to your own music in-game. However, my iPod doesn't get along with my Xbox 360 at all.
I know that Apple brought out an update to stop people from listening to their music purchased from iTunes on their 360s, but not even my normally purchased music (CD's put onto the iPod) works on the 360 with my iPod.
This shouldn't be happening (I don't think) and was wondering if there was a way of sorting it. The only music which works on it is the music which I haven't purchased (illegally got hold of, in other words).

I know that Apple brought out an update to stop people from listening to their music purchased from iTunes on their 360s,
Huh? Where did you here this?
MS has not implimented the DRM Apple uses for ITMS purchased music.

"Microsoft built its iPod connection without the support of the folks at Apple."
"We do not have an official relationship with Apple for the iPod connectivity," said Scott Henson, product unit manager in Microsoft's advanced technology group. He maintains that "Xbox 360 leverages standard protocols such as USB mass storage to enable iPod support."
The only music which works on it is the music which I haven't purchased (illegally got hold of, in other words).
There is really no difference betweent his music and the CDs you ripped yourself.
Either the xbox or the ipod or the link between them is not working properly.

Playing videos of an ipod via xbox 360

i was just curious as to if you connect like a normal ipod video with your xbox and go to the media>video tab on the xbox dashboard, can you play videos from your ipod via the xbox 360???? that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes and then i could watch them on tv via xbox 360 connection. let me know

that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes
definitely NOT legit.
As to whether an xbox can handle this depends on what acessories you have. Apple and other companies make docks with A/V cables for playing video to TVs. If xbox can take those cables as inputs then it should work.

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.

PS - Good luck.

How to use a wired xbox 360 controller on a Yoga 10?

So I have an otg cable and a wired 360 controller but nothing happens when I plug it in, the light flashes and the tablet acknowledges that I've plugged something in but nothing else happens.
I tried using a gamepad app, usb/bt joystick, but it kept telling me something about rooting and downloading roms...is there an easy way to play my android games with a gamepad?
I do have other usb gamepads

I have the same problem. It looks like Lenovo have not implemented the standard Xbox Controller mappings for some reason. If I download and run USB/BT Joystick Centre then I can get it the tablet to recognise the controller but the mappings are all screwed up and I can only get the left stick working, not the right stick. My BT Madcatz Ctrlr works fine though and being BTLE the battery lasts for ages between charges.
I hope Lenovo sort this out, it's probably a really easy fix.

IPod and Xbox 360

why is my xbox360 not able to play my songs that i buied in the itunes store?
all the songs that i added from cd's work, just the ones from the store not... is this a licence-problem or what?
sorry about my english...
greetings from switzerland!

I understand your point... and to some extent, you are correct.
You are allowed to burn purchased iTunes music to CD. However, there's a "grey area" when it comes to re-importing that CD and putting the music back into a different digital format, such as MP3 or other.
What you've just done is essentially strip the copy protection off of the original file, and that's a violation of the license agreement as per the Terms of Service for iTunes purchases.
Burning CDs from purchased iTunes tracks --- OK.
Re-ripping those burned CDs back into digital audio --- not OK.

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..
read the specs on roxios site..

Intermittent network performance with WRE54G on Vista, and no Xbox 360 connectivity

I bought a WRE54G this week to help with some network dead spots in my home after moving house.
So far I've only had no real success - configuration seemed to take a while to work through (by the time I got the WPA PSK worked out) but now I at least have 2 blue lights on the device all the time.
On my Windows Vista Business laptop (Toshiba Tecra M400 with latest drivers) in my office (a deadspot) I can connect to the network and WirelessMon reports consistent signal strength of 60% with occasional drops to 40%. However although the connection seems to remain constant, connectivity is not. I seem to suffer severe degredation of network connectivity - streamed video will not buffer correctly and times out; connections to my corporate Exchange server are not retained. My guess is that the laptop is doing something like switching between the router WiFi network and the WRE54G network, although i I switch off the WRE54G I lose all network connectivity to my latptop in my office.
On my xbox 360 (using the Microsoft XBox 360 wireless network adaptor) I am also having problems. Once or twice I have successfully been given an IP address and then failed to get DNS servers. This evening I don't even get an IP address.
I'm stuck - I've tried a LOT of things and not achieved any luck. Can anyone suggest anything, or do I have a faulty range expander.
Details below....
My ADSL router is an SMCWBRA79042 which does support WDS. All the devices in my house worked correctly with this router in my old house before introducing the WRE54G.
I use WPA PSK, TKIP. However I've also tried to get things working without any security at all, and then adding in security functionality afterwards.
I have already upgraded the firmware on my WRE54G to the latest version on the linksys web site.
I have tried using different channels. Initially I was on 8 (it was a free channel in my neighbourhood) but also have tried 11 and am now on 6.
I have tried changing the beacon to 50 and reducing the RTS and fragmentation thresholds to 2250.

Hi
Have u checked the compatibility of manufacturer's of these two devices i.e ADSL Router & Range Expander ( IMP * version No of WRE54G ) .
Cheers. !

Xbox 360 Wired Controller is not working with Windows 7.

Not to long ago I was playing Halo 2 PC using my wired Xbox 360 Controller. All of a sudden my computer (which uses Windows 7) decides not to recognize it. Every time I plug in the controller in now it comes up as "Unknown Device". I have not changed anything,
I mean anything. Yes I have tried all methods of fixing the problem but they do not work. If someone knows a sure fine way to get the controller working again it would be much appreciated.

I 'm using a wired Gamestop Xbox 360 controller and I got mine to work using these steps. Good luck.
If you already have the software installed, go to programs and features and uninstall Microsoft XBOX 360 Accessories 1.2.
1) Download the drivers from
http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=gaming
2) Choose Gaming >
Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.Don’t run the drivers.
Save them to a folder. (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
3) Right click the
Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
4) Right click the shortcut you created.
Select properties.
5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode"
ChooseWindows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
7) With your controller plugged in go to
Device Manager. You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
Continue only if you don’t see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
Ignore the warning.
Should work now.
