Xbox 360 elite + apple 23 inch display???

so i found the converter from hdmi to dvi but its really expensive around 400+ and would like to find an alternative so if i was to use the dvi to vga for the 23"display then use the vga adapter on the xbox 360 would that possibly do the job needed? or in another scaler needed to run that?

it will not work unless you shell out 300-400$ usd for a converter box

  • Connecting my xbox 360 (elite) to my macbook pro?

    I recently got a Macbook pro for christmas, and was wondering if there was anyway that I could connect my xbox 360 elite to it. I want to use the my macbook screen as a screen for my 360, at least until I can afford a new TV (roommate knocked my 32" samsung off its stand and broke it christmas day...).
    I heard there is a VGA coord from microsoft that connects from a vga port to the back of the xbox, and i have the DVI to VGA adapter for the mac already. Was just making sure this works before I spend the $50.
    Thanks!

    Broschati,
    No, this won't work. The DVI port on your Macbook Pro is for video out. The Macbook Pro's display is connected directly to the GPU, and there is no way to input video to it.

  • Will the Apple 30 Inch display work with my MacBook pro? Confused!!

    Hi all,
    thinking of getting a used Apple 30 inch display to go with my MBP, but not sure if it will work at the correct resolution. Ive read you need a Duel Link DVI cable, but I have Thunderbolt not mini-display port. My MBP is early 2011 (think), so I am really confused. The 27 Incher with thunderbolt would be good too, but they are too expensive for me.
    Graphics card is AMD Radeon HD 6490M, 16mb RAM. 10.6.8.
    I would really appriciate any advice !
    Thank you all in advance,
    Bish.

    I am replying to my own post here, but i have made excellent progress and wanted to let any other viewers in the same boat, know the solution.
    Basically, the Duel Link DVI cable from Apple (£70 / $99) is the bad boy that works. My confusion was Thunderbolt, but apparently Thunderbolt IS ALSO a DVI port ! So, buy the 30 incher on Ebay or off a mate, and BANZAI ! done. Glorious res of about 2560x1600pixels is awesome!
    The only downside here is that it might be too big LOL !!!!
    Good luck all

  • 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 and apple airport ip address HELP PLEASE!

    hey i just got an xbox 360 and i got the wireless internet adapter than microsoft makes to pick up my wireless internet. I have an ADSL ethernet modem that is plugged into my Airport, which is streaming in my house. So on my xbox i got the test for the wireless connection to work. then the test for the IP address failed. I have looked online to find the IP address, but i dont know which one i need (of the computer? the airport? the modem box?) and the subnet mask, and gateway, and the DNS numbers. can anyone help please? i have mac os X if that helps

    i think that's what i mean. sorry im so confusing. i have a mac laptop, which is connected to my wireless network at home, which is an apple airport (you know the little white box that plugs into the electrical outlet) which is also plugged into an ADSL ethernet modem box from US Robotics (which is my cable internet). so then i will be able to find the IP of the airport where? network settings? and last thing, if that is the gateway for the xbox, what is the subnet mask, and the actual ip address of the xbox?
    also, if this helps, when i look at Network, under System preferences, Airport is the network, and under TCP/IP it says that the IP Address is 10.0.1.2, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the Router is 10.0.1.1

  • Xbox 360 + Apple Cinema Display... is it possible?

    I was wondering if anyone knew if it would be possible to hook up my Xbox 360 to my 20 inch Apple Cinema Display. Microsoft sells a VGA cable at the moment.

    "I thought i read somewhere that the 20'' apple cinema display is not HD like the 23'' and 30'' are. Is this true?"
    The 20 doesn't get the 'HD' moniker because the vertical resolution is less than the needed 1080 for HD content. Both the 23 and 30 have more than 1080 lines.
    I suspect if the HD you're referring to is 1080i you'll need a 23 or 30.

  • Xbox 360 Trade-In Issue

    I've rarely felt so insulted in my many years of retail work and patronage as I have felt today at Best Buy. As a former employee of the chain, both in retail and the Geek Squad, I am generally quite forgiving of any issues I have while shopping there.
    The goal of my visit was to trade in my Xbox 360 to upgrade to the knew Xbox One. There was a promotion online to get some value out of my old system. The promotion was as follows:
    "In store only. Trade in any working Xbox 360 or PS3 console and receive a $50 coupon toward an Xbox One. Trade in a working Xbox 360 250GB or Sony PlayStation 3 Slim and receive a minimum $100 gift card"
    I had a mis-matched console, admittedly; it was a black elite with a 250 GB final Fantasy XIII hard drive. Since it didn't specify models, I thought I would still be eligible.
    When I got to the line, there were two other people being helped. About 5-10 minutes go by and I still hadn't been recognized by staff, but they were busy so that's fine. The bag was fairly heavy and I kept having to shift around but I wasn't even asked if I would like to place it on the counter or anything. I thought that was lame, but maybe that's not their policy.
    Eventually the girl at the counter finished helping her customer then said (either on her radio or to another coworker) that she couldn't help "this guy" (I'm guessing me) because she had to go on her lunch break. It was at this time someone did say someone would be with me shortly. I waited a bit until I was told to go around the counter to Geek Squad. Then we moved to another station because the first one didn't work. Then that one had a pad problem so I had to go back around to where I started. A little annoying, but nothing too bad.
    We finally started examining the system. The lady pulled it all out and verified that it worked and had a 250 GB hard drive. Unfortunately, my console was not in their system at all. My console was refurbished by GameStop but still had the seals, but because it wasn't the color white (since the Final Fantasy version what white) I couldn't trade it in. Despite the fact it was still an Xbox 360 Elite. It was just the wrong color.
    I politely asked if there was anything we could do. Any sort of trade. She said "nope" and shook her head. Feeling a little miffed I asked if I apologized for being a bother and asked if I could speak to the supervisor. She curtly informed me that she was the supervisor. Her tone agitated me but I was aware I was on the verge of being one of "those" customers, but I asked to speak to a manager nonetheless. I wanted to get something for this console because I really wanted to spend my money at Best Buy and not have to go elsewhere. So she goes to the manager and explains everything to him. He comes out and asks how he could help. I explain that I really wanted to trade in the system towards an Xbox One like it was advertised in the ad online. This is where I completely lose it in my head.
    He looks me in the eye and asks if I would like to recycle it.
    Really? Out of all of the possible things you could tell me, you offer to take my item and destroy it for me? I was so surprised, I bet my jaw dropped. I don't really remember because of the rage I was thrown into. No, I didn't yell at him or get too bent out of shape. I politely (as much as I could) say no thanks and ask for my console back. Astonished, I remarked that if this is the way they treat customers then I should return the Galaxy phones my wife and I just got four days prior. I don't know if it was his Commonwealth accent or what, but that way he said "You certainly have that choice" only seemed to enrage me further. I left and of course the girl gives me a sickly-sweet "have a nice day" which only made me more disgusted.
    I really wanted that system and I will buy it next, but certainly not from Best Buy. We are even thinking about returning the phones we bought and going to Verizon direct (I already set some of that up), and we may close out our Best Buy Credit Cards. We were even planning on buying a laptop later this month because the Geek Squad protection ran out on our last one and its about to break. I won't be doing that again, I can assure you. I'm so upset that mere words cannot describe them. All I wanted was something for my old console so it wouldn't have to collect dust and all I received from their management staff was insults. Good job. Hope it works out for you. I doubt my words mean anything to you, but maybe some one will hear them and take heed. I hope so, at least, because I don't want anyone to go through what I had to today.
    Solved!

  • Apple 16" Color Display with 15" Aluminium Powerbook?

    I have pulled my old Mac 16" Color Display out of the shed, only to discover that my 15" powerbook Al running 10.4.6, once connected via DVI-VGA and VGA-Apple VGA, won't show the necessary 832 x 624 resolution option, so I can't use it.
    When I connect my older Pismo powerbook running under 10.3 via VGA-Apple VGA, it does show the necessary resolution!
    Is this a a symptom of 10.4, the DVI adaptor or the video card? Can I copy some driver or something from 10.3 to 10.4 to add support for 832 x 624?
    Brendan

    I think you are trying to use equipment that is just too far behind your modern PowerBook. The Apple 16 inch display was sold 1991 to 1994.
    The computer-end of its cable provides a code at startup that a Mac with a similar connector would use to determine what display is attached, and what resolutions are appropriate. Perhaps the adapters you are using cannot manage to pass that information through in a coherent way.
    More modern displays with a VGA (three-row) connector use a DDC side-channel to negotiate their capabilities with the computer system.
    On the other hand, perhaps the PowerBook simply cannot do that resolution. If the 16 inch display were a multi-Sync display, there might be another resolution you could use.

  • Dell 24 inch back to a 17 inch display problem

    I installed a 24" Dell LCD display. I changed back to the Apple 17 inch display and i cannot get the resolution back to 1920 x 1200. I only get half the length of a safari page and it extends past the edges. How do I reset it for the Apple display?

    In another topic thread,

    Seems to be the right adapter and cable for you as well.

  • Belkin av360 Hdmi/xbox 360 adapter not working? Kanex ok?

    I have a Belkin AV360 adapter to connect my xbox 360 to my 27" imac display. It has recently stopped working i.e. I cannot switch to the external input. Does anyone else have this problem or a solution? Also is anyone using a Kanex XD and does that still work (it uses an external power supply rather than being connected via usb like the belkin)? I believe there has been a software update that has invalidated the usb drivers on the belkin.

    Mine stopped working randomly in early 2012.  I read elsewhere online that the boxes were sometimes faulty and just stopped working.  I contacted Belkin, because this product has a "Lifetime Warranty" and I was able to send in my faulty unit and received a replacement free of charge.  The replacement worked fine.
    It's been a while, but try contacting Belkin about it.  Part # F2CD007

  • Dual 30-inch displays

    I have a MacPro with an ATI Radeon 4870 graphics card with a DVI port and a mini Display port. I have an Apple 30-inch display now and have acces to another 30-inch Apple display. Can I use the current card to run both displays at once? I got a mini display port to Dual-link DVI adapter and the mini port did not work for either display, but both displays work on the DVI port. Apple is sending me a new adapter, but my question is, can I display one 30-inch monitor thru the DVI AND one monitor thru the mini port together? Apple does not know. The ATI site is not helpful. If not, what card should I use. Many thanks.

    Yes, mDP can drive a 30-inch. What you already tried should have worked and I'm not sure why it didn't. At least you have another adapter coming, but the problem may lie elsewhere besides a defective adapter.
    Write back with further details if the second adapter also fails to work.

  • Does it support a 30-inch Display?

    Does the video card in the newer mac minis support the Apple 30-inch display?
    Thanks.

    The mini will give a useable display on the 30" from its single-link DVI port. But the resolution will be 1280 x 800, which is one-fourth of what the 30" is capable of. So as mystuffs already pointed out, it's not very compatible.

  • Slow Xbox 360 Wired Connection Speed

    My Xbox 360 Elite console is connected to my home network using a wired connection, but it has a slower speed (gathered using tests on this website) than all of the wireless devices connected to the network. The console achieves about 3 mbps, which is more than 3x slower than what all the wireless devices can achieve.
    Here is a basic network map:
    ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router ---> TV
                                                         |
                                                         v
                                                   Xbox 360
    All wired devices have been labelled
    All wireless devices are connected to either router
    The TV cannot be tested as it does not have an Internet browser
    Can anyone explain why the console achieves a much lower speed than the wireless devices? If so, can a solution be provided?
    Thank you.

    I forgot to mention I recently changed the wiring of the network.
    Old wiring:
    ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router
                                               |                     |
                                               v                     v
                                         Xbox 360              TV
    New & current wiring:
    ISP ---> Master Router ---> 5-port Ethernet Switch ---> Slave Router ---> TV
                                                         |
                                                         v
                                                   Xbox 360
    The old wiring made the Xbox 360 download at ~300 kbps and not able to stream videos (neither could the TV). I don't understand why the change of wiring increased the speed so much.

  • Open NAT to New Xbox 360

    I just replaced a brand new Xbox 360 arcade with an Xbox 360 Elite.
    When the Arcade Console was hooked up it showed the NAT on my WRT54GS version 1.51.0 router as "OPEN".
    After I replaced it with the Elite console it shows the NAT on my WRT54GS version 1.51.0 router as "Moderate".
    To host games it needs to be open.
    So can anyone help me get it to "OPEN"?

    Do you have the ports forwarded for your XBOX on router?
