Using Xbox 360 with iMac

Hello,
I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if there is anyway possible to use my iMac as a screen for my Xbox 360, and if not, will there be a way to do that in the near future?
Thank you

hey,
i looked into this myself a while back. The elgato hybrid will enable you to play your xbox through the screen...however BEWARE... the quality of the picture is terrible. you will only be able to play your xbox on 50hz mode and even then the quality is worse than on a standard tele, let alone one with HD capabilities. i emailed elgato and asked why this was and they said:
"The EyeTV Hybrid has spotty PAL 60 support, so many X360 titles may have sync issues when played with the Hybrid. The EyeTV 250 plus has much better PAL 60 support, as it has slightly different hardware. None of our devices can capture and digitize the HD output from next-gen consoles. Consumer priced component and HDMI capture hardware hasn't really surfaced yet, so we can't make a device with those capabilities yet."
I hope this helps.

  • Can I use xbox 360 with thunderbolt display

    Is it possible to use an Xbox 360 with a thunderbolt display? If so, I need specifics of what I would need to do so.

    Not unless your 360 has a TB port.

  • Using Xbox 360 with MB Pro

    I was wondering if it is possible to use the MacBook Pro display with my Xbox 360. I have tried hooking it up via the vga adapter, however this does not work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    You can connect your X360 by using the Elgato EyeTV. You will have to resort to using composite cables, however. No HD support for externally connected devices.

  • Using XBOX 360 with FIOS - How do you get it to be on TV

    Just got FIOS and we plugged in the XBOX into the cable box using component cables and do not know what buttons to push so that we can use the XBOX.  Tried pressing Input on the remote to no avail.  What do we do?
    Thanks

    By A/B box what do you mean?  Do I have to buy it or would Verizon give it to me? 
    You cannot connect anything through the Verizon STB/DVR.
    How many inputs does your TV have? Surely it must have more than one input in the back?
    If your TV only has one set of inputs, then you could buy an A/B box as mentioned above.  Verizon won't provide you one.  Component switches start at about $20, but if your TV doesn't have component, you'd need a switch like this one from Radio Shack.

  • ++++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! : )

    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.

  • HT1529 how could i connect a xbox 360 to imac monitor?

    i would like to connect my xbox to my imac monitor to use it as a display.

    In general you would unplug the monitor from the Mac Pro and then directly connect the monitor to the xBox 360 (with the correct adapter cable, depending on which version of the xBox 360 you have). However, if you don't have permission from the owner of the lab to be connecting and disconnecting cables you shouldn't be doing that. Buy a cheap 1080p TV and use your xBox 360 at home.

  • Free Xbox 360 with $700 or up Windows Laptop

    I have gotten the coupon using my .edu email for the free Xbox 360 with a laptop purchase of $699 or higher from College Student Deals
    but have seen that it says I need a valid student ID to get the deal. I have just graduated from high school and have not gone to orientation yet so I do not have a student ID from college yet. I have a high school student ID still. Does anybody know if they really check for IDs or if a high school ID would work? If not, there are other online places I can get the PC and get the laptop using only my .edu email, such as the Microsoft Store, HPDirect.com, NewEgg, and Dell.com and I will get a computer from one of those sources. I only wanted to get my laptop at BestBuy because I can g check out the laptop before I purchase it plus I hate waiting for shipping. I get impatient when having to wait for items ordered. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    As long as you have an acceptance letter and your .edu address.

    I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.

  • Xbox 360 to iMac, lets finish this once and for all!

    Hello Everyone!
    New to the forum here and I joint to get a finalised answer to a question I've heard people bickering about for ages! (hopefully the answer will come from someone who has done it/tryed it, not just someone who is going to create a theory of what would work!)
    So I want to use my iMac as a screen for my Xbox 360, because, well, it would be awesome!
    I have so far heard too many different things, for example, if I have a new 27" iMac (which i do) that its possibly just a single wire, mini DisplayPort to HDMI.
    Another thing i have read said, it can only be a single mini DisplayPort to HDMI as long as i have 8GB of Ram.
    Another has said I need to get a complete video converter to run through my mini DisplayPort that would cost around 150 pounds.
    I'm a student and cant really afford to be wrong other wise I would guinea pig this myself, so what im asking for here is someone to lay the smack down. Which is it, if any?!
    Does anyone even know if it has been successfully done yet!? And if it has, to how much success, does it have high lag? Because the guys at AppleCare Support were pretty sure it has been, but they were not allowed to recommend me anything because there is no official Apple fix for it. . . . Hence the reason why i was directed here. . .
    Thanks in advance!

    The answer is behind Door #3. It is a very expensive proposition.
    The two way mini-DisplayPort on the 27" iMac will only accept DisplayPort signaling. So you need a device that has DisplayPort video output, such as a new MacBook Pro which can be attached to the iMac with a simple m-DP to m-DP cable. If you have a device with a DisplayPort video port you can attach it to the iMac with a DisplayPort to m-DP cable. But if the device has any other video output, then you need a video converter to convert the signal to DisplayPort. And most of these converters can only supply 720p to the iMac. One very expensive one can do 1080p.
    You can get the converters from Kanex and Atlona.

  • XBOX 360 with Apple Airport Express/AIrport Extreme?

    Well im about to buy an apple airport extreme wireless router for my house. The router is going to be located on the second floor with my cable modem. Planning to put my airport express in my room on the third floor.
    So i am just wondering if you can directly plug in the xbox 360 ethernet cable to the airport express for xbox live.

    ...I will get a better connection using the Xbox wireless adapter and my Airport Extreme Base Station, than I do by connecting the Xbox via Ethernet to an Airport Express that is wirelessly connected to my AEBS?
    Yes
    If I get the xbox wireless adapter, do I still need to configure my AEBS as WDS...
    No
    ...and could I get my old network communication speed back?
    Yes

  • Xbox 360 to iMac

    Hi will if i get the mini DVI to VGA adapter & got a vga adapter for my xbox 360 will i be able to connect the xbox360 and view it through my iMac?

    No, the iMac doesn't have any video inputs.
    You could use something like the Elgato EyeTV to connect your Xbox, but there would be a lag in the video display and it would not perform very well for video games.
