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.

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?

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

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 360, MacBook Pro, PC and Airport Express don't all connect

Just got the new XBOX360 with built in wi-fi for Christmas! Also have a MacBook Pro and a PC connected wirelessly to my Airport Express.
Prior to the XBOX 360 the ApE worked flawlessly with the MbP and PC.
Now, depending on the day, either the PC or the XBOX will not connect with the ApE. I can connect wirelessly to XBOX Live one day, and not connect wirelessly to the PC the next and vice versa.
Powering off the cable modem resolves this, but only for one day, then the problem returns. Any suggestions?

By default, both should already by DHCP clients ... but it is possible that either or both were reconfigured with static IPs that may not be correct for your network configuration.
For the PC, I would need to know which operating system it is running.
For the Xbox 360, you configure, whether or not, it would be a DHCP client via the System Settings > Network panel. The key is that you want both the IP & DNS Addressing to be "Automatic."

Xbox 360 live and Macbook

Ok, this is my situation...I just got an xbox 360, and I will be moving into a college dorm at FSU in August. I have a macbook with only mac os x on it right now. What are all the requirements and everything I need to obtain full acces to xbox360 live from my dorm? (Do i need to use bootcamp for windows, what kind of netowkring, etc?) Thank you so much for the help.

You'll need to turn Internet Sharing on your MacBook. Go to: System Preferences/Sharing/Internet
Choose: Share your connection from Airport, and put a check mark on the port that in the list below. Then plug your Xbox 360 with a network cable into the Macbook. You'll probably need a network crossover cable. You can pick up a Network Crossover cable at most computer stores.
How is your dorm going to be setup? Is there going to be a Network (Interent) port in the wall so you can plug your Macbook into it? Or is it totally wireless?
If there's a port in your room, you can go out and spend $20-$50 on a 4 port network hub. You plug a cable from the wall into the Uplink port on the hub. Then you can plug your Macbook and your Xbox 360 with separate cables into the hub.
If it's a wireless dorm, you can purchase the Xbox 360 Wireless adapter. Hopefully the wireless network in your dorm is using WEP security or no security at all. If it's using WPA2 security, you'll be in trouble because the Xbox 360 wireless adapter doesn't support WPA2 security. All this might be over your head, but the more information you can get the better chance we can help you.
Hope that helps,

I use a program called Connect 360 from Nullriver Software which is free, just have a look on Google for it. It connects to your macbook via your wireless connection. You can watch .wmv and play music from your itunes. Just put the program on your macbook and it is very easy to set up.

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.

Is there a way to hook up a xbox 360 to a macbook pro?

Is there a way to hook up a xbox 360 to a macbook pro? I'm about to move to college and I don't have a tv but I want to play my xbox if its possible.

I have an E-Bay Cheap mouse (Speedlink) and a PCWorld cheap keyboard (Advent) both connected at the same time.
These both connected at the same time when first installed - but on subsequent connections one is required to be deleted and re-added.
Have you tried connecting one, deleting the other and then re-pairing?

Streaming Video From My Macbook to my Xbox 360

I'm REALLY hoping someone can help.
I was a windows XP user, and got my first mac a few months ago, I could not be happier....
except I used to stream all my audio and video from my old laptop through my Xbox 360 to watch on my TV, and now I seem to have lost the ability to do this, can anybody help?
preferably with programmes that are free or at least very cheap if i need other programmes to do this, I'm still paying off the macbook! lol
thanks in advance for your help

I have been using Connect 360 from Nullriver. It works very well and is well worth the $20.
