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.

  • 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.

  • 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..
    read the specs on roxios site..

  • I have imac 21.5 can i use it on xbox 360 as screen?

    i have imac 21.5 can i use it on xbox 360 as screen?

    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.

  • Linksys WRT54G compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

    Is the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router (WRT54G) compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

    Use the LAN port and cable. That way you'll get no interference and great data transfer. Or this maybe helps. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/homenetworking/equipment.htm

    is there a reason iPhones won't connect with Xbox 360's like iPods did?

    Because even though it plays mp3 and has ipod capabilites...it's a phone! Were you able to connect your previous cell phone to your Xbox?

    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!

  • Used MacBook with no install discs...

    I just bought a used MacBook with no install discs for the OS.
    I would like to know what my options are for getting the OS.
    How much am I going to have to spend to follow the guidlines and EULA?
    Thanks

    If you don't have your install disks you can get the two gray install disks by callingApple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 They can send them to you for about $16 per disk plus S & H. Just give them your serial number and they'll know which ones you need. With the original disks you also get the iLife that was current when your MacBook was bought included on the #2 disk.
    Or you can get Snow Leopard for $29 if you have at least 1gb of RAM and a working DVD drive.  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    If you only want iPhoto or other single apps from iLife '11 and iWork '09 you can get them from the App Store after you've upgradedto 10.6.6. iPhoto, iMovie or Garage Band for $15 each and Pages, Keynote or Numbers for $20 each.

  • 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...

  • Connecting macbook to Xbox 360, HOW?

    Hi guys,
    I have an xbox 360 and a new macbook. I want to connect my macbook to the xbox 360 to view itunes library and photos etc. How do I go about this, ie what cables etc do I need? Can I connect now using the stuff I have?
    xbox 360
    macbook
    BT HomeHub
    Ethernet Cable
    Airport Extreme Built in to macbook.
    Help much appreciated,
    Baz, Belfast, Northern Ireland.

    I use a program called Connect 360 from Nullriver Software which is free, just have a look on Google for it. It connects to your macbook via your wireless connection. You can watch .wmv and play music from your itunes. Just put the program on your macbook and it is very easy to set up.

  • Sharing Internet with xbox 360

    Hi, I have my Powerbook sharing internet with my Xbox 360. The connection works well and I am able to play games, but the NAT is listed as Moderate, with a Moderate NAT I am not able to do private voice chats with people. Does anyone know how I can get my NAT to Open? Also, I would like to share my media with my Xbox that is stored on a Windows XP computer. I followed all the steps given at www.xbox.com/pcsetup, but the Xbox still does not see the computer.
    Any help would be appreciated, Thnx

    If you are using Internet Sharing on your PowerBook you can forget trying to modify NAT settings or make nearly any other adjustments. There are very, very, very few options.
    If you want to make adjustments like that you need to get a real base station.

  • HDMI with Xbox 360

    I just got an xbox 360 and i hooked it up to my imac with my eyetv hybrid. Can use the HDMI cables to make it High Def? What can i use to make it so it will hook up to the cables.
    thanks

    If your receiver supports HDMI inputs and passthrough then go there first from the xbox, and send the passthrough to the TV.  If you can't do that then try digital audio out of the xbox to the receiver and HDMI to the TV for just video.
    I read something in another thread about some Toshiba TV outputting only PCM stereo as passthrough from a HDMI input so I bet that's what is happening here.

  • Replacing Apple TV with Xbox 360, Video Questions

    I have had an ATV for a little over a year and thanks to Handbrake I now have an incredible Movie Library over 600 flicks ripped for ATV with the .m4v extension. This month I am getting an Xbox 360 and would like to use it in place of my ATV and move the ATV to another room. I have been doing my research and everything says I should use Connect 360 or Rivet to make contact between my iMac and Xbox 360. Though I have read that movies with the extension .m4v will not read. I have read on various sites that I could just change the extension to .mp4 or .avi and it will work fine. Though alot of the data out there on connect 360 and Xbox 360 streaming seems to be outdated and I can't tell what has been fixed by updates. so... my questions are,
    1. Will my movies stream to xbox 360 via connect 360 in the .m4v format?
    2.If no, can I just change the extension to .mp4 or .AVI? (I changed the extension from .MP4 to .m4v on some movies when I got the ATV due to some recognition issues in itunes last year and had no problem)
    3. If I change the extensions will my ATV still be able to play these videos from elsewhere in the house?
    4. Will it all just work flawlessly with no problems thanks to amazing updates from all parties?

    I wanted a next gen game system. Part of the way I could convince my wife to let me get an xbox (Im whipped) was to offer to move the ATV to the bedroom so she could view our media in there. Since the Xbox has media center qualities I figured I would take atvantage of them. Now I trying to figure out the best way to get both working.
