++++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! : )
Regards

Imac G5 20"   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Help!!

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Xbox 360  on Imac 27"

    Hello does anyone know how to hookup an xbox 360 through the mini display port. I currently have a mini display to HDMI and i hit command F2 and nothing happens. Am i doing something wrong or should i be using the mini to VGA adaptor? Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The adapters that Apple sells are not for this purpose. They are one directional. They are for taking your video signal from the new iMac to a second display. They will not work in the other direction.
    You need a converter for the Xbox 360 that will convert its video signal to mini-DisplayPort. These newly developed converters are about US$150+.

    Then you just need a simple mini-DisplayPort to mini-DisplayPort cable to connect the converter to the new iMac.

    Sorry if other people have asked this, but can you play XBOX 360 on an iMac using EyeTV Hybrid? If so, will be able to output HD graphics?

    Yes. S-video or composite video only (720x480 NTSC or 720x576 PAL)
    If so, will be able to output HD graphics?
    No.

  • Xbox 360 meets IMAC

    Is it possible/advisable to run an xbox 360 through an IMAC. will there be significant delay? how is it done?
    Thanks
    J_Rock

    J_Rock, Welcome to the discussion area!
    None of the iMacs have any type of video input. Therefore there is no way to directly display the Xbox 360 output to the iMac's screen.
    You may be able to use one of the devices made by elgato.com

  • 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
    SpiredArc

    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.

    That is only a video-out port to connect a second monitor, but it is not a video-in port.

  • What do I need to make my iMac + xbox 360 hook up to my current router

    I need to find a way to make my iMac wireless and don't know what would be best for my set up. I have cable broadband through a rca router, which then hooks up to my vonage phone device, which then connects to my linksys WRT150N which has an emachines pc through ethernet and a sony laptop wireless connected to it. I want the iMac, which is downstairs to be hooked up to the internet wirelessly if possible and my son also has a wireless adapter for his XBOX 360 that he wants to use as well. I know this sounds tres' complicated and I have given lots of information here but if anyone knows what I should get for this situation, I would be most appreciative! Airport of some sort? Third party stuff that's compatible? I am so confused!

    Achieving data rates of 54 Mbps requires that all users have an AirPort Extreme Card and connect to an AirPort Extreme Base Station. If a user of a Wi-Fi Certified 802.11b product joins the network, that user will get up to 11 Mbps and AirPort Extreme users will get less than 54 Mbps. Actual speed will vary based on range, connection rate, site conditions, size of network and other factors.
    imac specification I am guessing your imac g4 is usb 2 and requires an airport extreme wireless card.
    The xbox360 wireless adaptor should be able to connect to your router.
    To enable the imac to stream photos, movies, music to xbox360 you'll need a piece of software called Connect360. you get that here: http://www.nullriver.com/products/connect360
    I'll give you my network setup if yours fails.
    Two Apple Extreme N routers, First router hardwired to cable modem and the "bridged" second apple router. The first router also has a HP laserjet 24/7 connected to its usb port and one more hardwire to a pc laptor downstairs(no wireless card in the piece of crap windows machine). Second router hard waired to Vonage and an Apple Express router which I set up to create its own network. The xbox360 upstairs wirelessly connects to the Apple Express. I also have apple TV wireless to first apple Extreme router. Everything works fine and network is extremely fast.

  • Xbox 360 - Optical line-in pass through 5.1 to optical line-out on an iMac?

    Hi guys, i'm in the market to purchase a new 5.1 surround sound system for my room and the following issue has been purplexing me.
    IS it possible to daisy chain my XBOX 360 to my iMac with optical cables and pass through 5.1 surround sound to the decoder on the sound system?
    So i'd have an optical cable from my xbox to the line-in on my iMac. I'd use Rogue Amoeba's Line-In app to pass the sound through to the optical line-out and through to the sound system.
    (I know it works using stereo sources, but i don't know about 5.1 digital sound.)
    I also know i could just connect them both to separate optical ports on the sound sytem, but i'm trying to listen to 2 sources at the same time. (5.1 from XBOX and music from iMac).
    Any thoughts on this are appreciated!

    I'm convinced things work like this:
    The SBX-Fi receives the encoded SPDIF.<
    The drivers decode it into the 5 digital audio signals. This siimply regenerates what was put into the encoding and has no effect on its "volume."<
    The 5 digital audio signals are sent to the SBX-Fi hardware, as is.<
    The signals are widened (not sure about the SBX-Fi, but for SBLi've-/SBAudigy-series card it's 32-bits with IIRC 4 bits for headroom, which is 24dB) at input by the SBX-Fi hardware. The additional headroom is probably able to handle most effects/mixing which might happen, but might produce a signal which would clip on output if the intermediate results produce a digital volume over 00%.<
    The master output volume operates on the output signals before they are narrowed.<
    The output signals are narrowed (dithered) and distributed.<
    If that's correct, it means you should be able to simply lower the master output volume in the soundcard mixer; and that presumes something's going on like high Crystalizer settings, or something; to elminate clipping distortion.

  • XBOX 360 Hardwired to iMac Wifi'd to a Belkin router

    I don't want to fork up the 80 bucks to buy the wireless card for my 360 because the signal in my house is poor due to all of the steel in our walls i'm guessing...and I was wondering if there was a way to hardwire my 360 to the back of my iMac and use the iMac as a Bridge to get the net on my 360? THANKS

    If your iMac is currently accessing the Internet wirelessly, you can use OS X's Internet Sharing feature to share that Internet connection through the iMac's built-in Ethernet port as follows...
    To setup for Internet Sharing (Wireless to Wired):
    Enable Software Firewall
    System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
    - Click Stop to start the software firewall
    Setup the Network
    Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Wireless Internet Router > (wireless) > [AirPort Card] Mac_#1 [Ethernet port] > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] XBox 360
    Setup Port Order
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
    - Verify that "AirPort" is at the top of the list, followed by "Built-In Ethernet."
    - Click "Apply Now."
    Configure the Internet Connection
    System Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort > TCP/IP
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Enable Internet Sharing
    System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
    - Share your connection from: AirPort
    - To computers using: Built-In Ethernet (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
    - Click Start
