What do I need to hook up XBox w/Kinect, PS3 and Wii Gaming Consoles

Hello all, 
I have a Flat screen TV purchased about 3 years back.  It has 1 HDMI port and it has I believe two sets of the red/white/yellow ports (a set on the left and a set on the right).  I want to connect the following:
1 – Xbox with Kinect
1 – PS3
1 – Wii
I know I need 1 HDMI cable
We have Comcast wireless internet and the modem/router is in a neighboring bedroom.
What else do I need to purchase in order to hook up all units?
Thanks for your time and assistance. 
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can buy a HDMI switcher with a remote. It will require 3 HDMI cables but you can switch from the Xbox or PS3 with the remote.
The red/white/yellow ports doesn't put out HD resolution so you can use the Wii for that.
So you can get a HDMI switcher or plug HDMI to either Xbox or PS3 and the two remaining will be connected by the red/white/yellow ports.
I believe the new Xbox, most PS3, and the Wii have built-in WiFi adapter already.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    That monitor has got a lot of ports you can use. The easiest and cheapest way to connect the iMac to the Dell monitor is through a Mini DisplayPort cable, because you do not need any adapter.
    Another way you have is to connect it through HDMI. In this case, you need a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter and a HDMI cable

  • My reminders are gone from my Ical since upgrade.  What do I need to do to input reminders in Ical and be able to print reminders with my ical.  Thank you

    My reminders are gone from my Ical since upgrade.  What do I need to do to input reminders in Ical and be able to print reminders with my ical.  Thank you

    I totally agree.  I just wasted .5 hrs trying to figure out how to manipulate and sync the reminders with the iCAl.  Thanks for posting this thread online, I can stop wasting my time now.  Apple, please change it back or make these apps sync. 
    Side note.  I was creating my to do list and found the ability to asign a date by draging the task to the calendar in the bottom right.  Then I discovered that I can drag that same reminder/to-do task into iCal and it will be created as an event. Would be great if I could simply sync the reminders to iCal instead of draging them over though.  Then when I make the change in one the other can update with the next sync.  This also prevents human error if I drag and drop the reminder onto the wrong date in iCal.

  • What do I need to do to be able to read and write files to a Seagate Backup Plus Slim Portable Drive on BOTH a Mac and a PC? I downloaded "Paragon NTFS for Mac" onto my Mac, so now I can write to the drive, but when I plug it into a PC it won't work.

    If the HDD is formatted NTFS, then it suggests that there is a problem with the PC.  Check with the manufacturer.

    Most likely.
    You can try to boot from the Install DVD for your Mac and run AHT from there if it boots.
    If not it sounds like it is time to take it to Apple for repair.

    Is the above link what I would be looking for? I notice this is for "Mini DisplayPort" and not Thunderbolt?
    Just a little confused Thanks.

    You are quite correct.  That's the device you need.  Take a look at your plug and the plug in Amazon's picture for a final check.  If that looks good, click "buy"!
    ThunderBolt supports "mini display port". 
    Since adapters have been around for a while, they typically don't say anything about ThunderBolt - it's too new.  They talk about "mini display port" only.

  • What do i need to hook up 2 dvi monitors to a mac mini

    what cable do i need to hook up a second dvi monitors to a mac mini

    XLR8off wrote:
    I think I figured it out... use the HDMI to DVI (supplied) and get a Mini Display to DVI cable for the second monitor...?
    You are correct. Get the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter, in addition to using the supplied HDMI to DVI adapter.
    Mini Displayport is physically identical to the Thunderbolt, and a video signal (for one monitor) can be passed through the Thunderbolt port.
    Also note the max. resolutions under "video support" on Mini's tech specs:
    Thunderbolt port with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution
    HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution
    That may determine which of your monitors you hook up to which port. Also don't go nuts with monitors, the mini might not be able to drive them to their max resolutions.

  • What do I need to hook up second monitor?

    Hi,
    I have a LCD monitor that has an hdmi and dvi slots. What do I need to connect my mac book pro (late) to this second monitor?
    thank you

    You need this component, or a dual-link DVI adaptor if the monitor's largest resolution exceeds 1920 by 1200.

    LibreOffice gives you most if not all the functionality of Microsoft's Office suite of products (Excel, Word and PowerPoint).
    ProjectLibre gives you most if not all the functionality of MS Project.
    Both run natively on OS X and are totally FREE.
    Lastly, if you need to access Windows computers from your Mac, Microsoft Remote Desktop is available for free from the App Store. It is a vast improvement over the Remote Desktop Connection that comes with the MS Office for Mac commercial product.

  • What do I need to do to run both Firefox 13 and Firefox 7 on a Mac?

    Firefox 13 works very well for every website I visit except Ancestry.com. Their support page says they only support Mac users who use Firefox 7 so I'd like to install it for use with this website only. I do not want to un-install Firefox 13. What do I need to do to have both versions available?

  • Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  Went to Mexico and now can't get the texting to work at all on ipad.  Thanls

    Can someone tell me what settings I need for ipad texting.  I went to Mexico and when I returned the texting does not work on my ipad.  The support at Apple wanted to charge me to get info.
    THanks

    Can't address the problem directly, cause even though my iPad4 is Cell+Wi-Fi, I've never put a SIM in it and never had the need to text, SMS or iMessage, from it. When away from the office or home wireless network, I tether it off the iPhone. Skype, both text and video, work just fine thru the Wi-Fi link, though.
    HOWEVER, when I was hashing out the contract details to get the iPhone 5 about 14 months ago at Telcel, the representative distinctly mentioned that both Visual Voicemail as well as iMessages would be included in the package and they would be mandatory cause "I was getting a (subsidized) Apple iPhone" on a 24 month leash. Then when the gizmo came out of its box for SIM installation and activation, she went thru the motions of making sure both were working properly.  So I assume the carrier has some say in the matter.
