  • Connecting Xbox 360 to MacBook Pro through various TV tuner cards

    If anybody has knowledge about this topic, what would be the best tuner card to use to get my Xbox 360 to display on my MacBook Pro? I'm not too worried about the graphic limitations, but I definitely do not want to encounter any lag. Suggestions?

  • XBOX 360 using MacBook Pro monitor

    Is it possible to play XBOX 360 by connecting it to the MacBook Pro? If possible, could someone please tell me how? Thanks

    yeah, but how do you get the dvi into your MacBook? Are there DVI capture solutions? I don't follow capture card technology much, but I would be surprised.
    I just re- read your post, and I think you just misread his question - for the record, that how i read it the first time too, but, he wants to play this on his MacBook screen, not a cinema display. If he wanted to use it on a cinema display, he could just get the dvi cable for the xbox 360.

  • Playing xbox 360 on macbook pro 15 inch retina display with hdmi

    Is it possible to be able to plug my xbox360 into my macbook pro 15 inch retina display with the hdmi cable and then play it on my computer because i have an hdmi cable and dont want to go buy the eye tv for another $150 and if it's not possible does anyone know of another way for me to be able to play my xbox360 on it

    No. The HDMI port on the MBP-R is an output port used to send images to an external monitor, not an input port.
    As far as I know, the only Mac that has ever had a video input capability is the iMac. Some years' models have had the ability to act as a monitor for another computer. I don't have one, but it doesn't look like current iMacs offer this feature (based on a quick skim of the Apple Store pages).

  • Xbox live to macbook pro

    I was wondering if there was any way i could connect my xbox to my macbook pro which is connected wirelessly to the internet trhoughg a router, and get xbox live to work. It says my IP ADRESS is failing.

    Hi Richie!
    Does your current router not have a built-in hub that you could plug your XBox into? You're essentially trying to connect your XBox to the Internet with two routers (your MacBook and your regular router) in between and this can certainly cause problems. But it's probably not impossible.
    The only way to do this is to enable Internet Sharing in Apple menu --> System Preferences... --> Sharing --> Internet. Since your MacBook Pro only has one wireless and one Ethernet port each you'll have to share from one to the other. However, if you're using the Ethernet port for your Internet connection you'll have to use wireless on your XBox. Does it have wireless? A simple Ethernet hub will not work in this configuration.
    The easiest and cleanest solution is to purchase a router with a built-in hub or a wireless router with a hub. They're relatively inexpensive (less than $50.00).
    Hope this helps! bill

  • Can i hook up my xbox 360 to mac pro 27

    i wnat to know how or if i can hook up my xbox 360 to my mac pro 27 as a screen to play games

    I suppose you can. You're talking about the desktop Mac Pro, right?
    just takin' a stab at it here, but I think elgato has a game capture box which might be helpful. It does mention xbox 360 and ps3.  if it's for a MacBook Pro, I can't say for sure. Maybe blackmagic??

  • 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.

  • XBOX Live through MacBook Pro

    I'm at school connected to the campus's wireless network.
    I've been trying to get onto XBOX Live using an ethernet cable between my MacBook Pro and my roommate's 360
    How do I do it?
    and yes, i have the internet sharing on
    i'm just having trouble with all the IP addresses and such
    help!!!!

    Thanks for the prompt reply Duane. Just to clarify: I need another wireless router? I thought airport express was one. I was trying to configure the ports of the airport express's basestation. My connection system is:
    -An ADSL 2mbps connection that comes into my home from a phone line and into a D-link GLB 802C modem
    -This connects to an Airport Express
    -My macbook pro uses the net through the wifi signal provided
    -I connect the macbook pro to the xbox through an ethernet cable (mainly because it's far from the adsl router)
    I have read that one can forward ports with airport express...

  • Hard Wire Xbox 360 to MacBook

    My Macbook is connected to my home wireless network via integrated Airport Extreme. Is it possible to transfer that connection to my Xbox 360 by connecting an ethernet cable? If so, what settings should I have to ensure it works? Any help is much appreciated! Cheers:D

    Hello benstelmach. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    To setup for Internet Sharing (Wireless to Wired):
    Setup the Network
    Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[WAN port] Wireless Router (wireless) > MacBook \[Ethernet port] > (Ethernet) > Xbox 360
    Enable Software Firewall (MacBook)
    System Preferences > Security > Firewall
    o Block all incoming connections (enabled)
    Enable Internet Sharing (MacBook)
    System Preferences > Sharing
    o Select "Internet Sharing" from the options in the left column
    o Share your connection from: AirPort
    o To computers using: Built-in Ethernet (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
    o Select "Internet Sharing" again
    o Click "Start" to start Internet Sharing
    o Click Start
    Note: When using Internet Sharing, your MacBook is essentially a "software" router. However, this router is very limited. You may or not get the results you are looking for when connecting to Xbox Live for online gameplay.

  • Xbox 360 to macbook?

    i was wondering if theres a way to use my macbook as a screen to plug my xbox 360 to it will it work?
    thanks

    No you won't be able to use your Macbook as a screen for your 360. The Macbook only has Video Out, not Video In.

  • MacBook Pro drops Wi-Fi connection after upgrading to 10.6.5. Fixed!

    MacBook Pro drops Wi-Fi connection after upgrading to 10.6.5. Airport says no IP is detected then suddenly reconnects?
    This has been a problem I’ve been troubleshooting for the last month. I’m new to the Mac family and have loved my experience up until this point. I was under the impression that mac’s are supposed to be so user friendly that even your grandmother could use one with out having any technical knowledge. I mean I shouldn’t have to be deleting drivers or reformat my mac because of an OS update glitch? (That’s what the guy at the Genius Bar told me to do.) What I refused to succumb to was that I’m really good with computers. I get at least a phone call every other week from someone asking me for tech support. So I’d like to think that nothing I’ve done to the system would have caused this anomaly.
    After numerous attempts of troubleshooting and researching forms I believe I’ve discovered a solutions that seems to be working for me.
    Here are the steps I took to create a consistent connection to my Wi-Fi. I believe it was a combination of all these steps to create success.
    1.) Changed my router to use G Wireless Only. (I’m assuming this removed any unnecessary frequencies to allow G to broadcast stronger?)
    2.) Did a scan on the other networks in my area to find out what channel everyone else was broadcasting on. Copy and past the text below into a terminal window.
    sudo ln -s /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resourc es/airport /usr/sbin/airport
    This will allow you to simply type “airport” in the terminal window to execute the command.
    Type airport –s
    This will display all the networks in your area and what channel they are broadcasting on.
    3.) Changed my router to use a channel that no one in my area was using. (This helped to make my network stronger and free of interference.)
    The last steps will help your home network improve but these next steps I believe helped fix any install errors caused maybe by the 10.6.5 update on my mac.
    4.) Boot your Mac into safe mode by holding down the shift key while booting.
    5.) Open System Preferences and Click on Network.
    6.) Click the drop down menu from Locations at the top of the screen. Click edit locations..
    7.) Create a new location by clicking the + and give it a new name.
    8.) Delete the old location by clicking on the old locations name and click the – to remove.
    9.) Reboot
    10.) Open System Preference and click on Network.
    11.) Click on the settings sprocket next to the + and – and click on Set Service Order…
    12.) Drag Airport to the top of the list of devices then click Ok.
    Now this last step is what seemed to eliminate the issue. I hardcoded my IP address to my network. This way my computer will always use the same IP and not have to search.
    13.) Click on Advanced under Network.
    14.) Click on TCP/IP. Click on the drop down for Configure IPv4 and change it to Manually.
    15.) Fill out the fields with your IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.1xx (x=whatever number) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 192.168.1.1 (All of these settings are pretty standard for most home networks.)
    16.) Click on the drop down for Configure IPv6 and change it to Off.
    17.) Next click on the DNS tab at the top.
    18.) Click the + to add a DNS Record.
    To find your DNS Server open a Terminal window by launching Applications --> Utilities --> Terminal
    Then Type cat /etc/resolv.conf
    (There is a space between cat and /. Without it you’ll get no such file or directory.)
    This should return two addresses. Your ISP’s DNS Servers.
    19.) Add both records to the DNS and click Ok.
    20.) Click Ok then under Network Click Ok.
    21.) Reboot router then Mac
    22.) Fixed my connection issue
    The symptoms I experienced eluded me to believe that something with the DHCP is going into an idle then disconnecting. Before when DHCP was set to automatically assign the network signal would time out then searchers for a new IP resulting in Airport displaying No IP is detected. By setting my IP to a fixed address I still notice a slight drop in bandwidth at moments but because of the assigned IP I never loose connection. I can now stream video, play games, chat all without getting disconnected.
    I believe this fix will work for my home network but I also noticed this issue at work so for each location that I connect for the time being I’ll create each there own location and hardcode the IP address to that network. I’ve been reading that 10.6.6 is coming soon so maybe this will be resolved for good in the next update.
    Let me know if this helps or if you have any questions.
    Best of luck.

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?

  • MacBook Pro OSX 10.6 drops Wi-Fi connection when idle/asleep.

    My MacBook Pro OSX 10.6 has begun to lose Wi-Fi connection when idle. I can't re-connect unless I shut down computer and re-start. Worse, the system appears to lock up--I can't force quit, must press the power button to shut down. This problem occurs wherever I am using my laptop, not just with one particular Wi-Fi network.
