iPod touch xbox 360 connect

No, the only thing the xbox 360 will do is charge the Touch

This is the same for all game systems including Wii and PS3. Let Me put it this way:

All iPod and iPhone models will not work with these game systems because there isnt enough memory in the Wii to support a file as big as iTunes(maybe if you downloaded it to an SD card, but i doubt that will work). But for all of them, iTunes was built for Mac or Windows. Even though Xbox is made by Microsoft, it is not running Windows. It is running an operating system designed for Xbox. So for PS3, Wii, and 360, they are not running Windows or Mac, so all it will do is charge the device as long as its plugged in.

Got all that? Then I'm Outta Here!

That's not true Christian...

My 5G iPod Video has always worked on my 360 just as well as my 1G Zune does for playing music. The only thing that it doesn't play is anything that is protected (i.e. music bought from iTunes). All you have to do is plug it into the USB port, and I usually go through the little sidebar (when you hit the XboX symbol on your controller) and choose it through there. It even plays podcasts.

Now I haven't tried to use my Touch with my 360....But I just wanted to dispel what was said in this post about ALL MODELS not being able to do this, because that is just not true... 🙂

I forgot to add one thing...

If you have the songs encoded in AAC instead of MP3....you need to download the patch from this page onto your xbox360

like I said before....and like this link says....this only works with UNPROTECTED AAC files...xbox can't play DRM files that weren't purchased in the XboX Marketplace

hope I helped 🙂

Seein as the 360 was created three years ago, it was not intended to be compatable with the iPod Touch. Three years ago, the Nano second generation was going to be released and Microsoft knew this and made the 360 compatiable with it.

Just wait. I'm sure that Microsoft will Adress these problems by either:

A: Making a service pack DVD like all their other products 😉
B: Adressing them in the new game system (Maybe it will run off of Windows Vista or Seven!)

Got all that? Then I'm outta here!

are there any plans to make it compatible in the near future? (updates and such)

I doubt it. Microsoft and Apple are big rivals and don't really like making things compatable with each other, even though it would porbably be for the better.

the XBOX360 can only connect to ipods that have DISK MODE enabled such as 1-5.5G i would assume the Classic would work as well but i cannot test it

the iPod Touch and iPhone do NOT have a disk mode setting, I don't know why but it uses some super secret way of connecting to itunes that the 360 cannot recognize (yet) right now i would say that the proverbial "BALL" is in apples court and we will have to wait tell they let Microsoft in on their mystical secrets of connecting to an ipod touch/iphone

Although you can't connect your ipod touch to your 360. There is an application called 360Connect (I would give you a link but I'm on my touch). This application allows you to stream 100 songs, 5 movies, and 100 pictures for free. But if you buy it you can stream all your music, videos, pictures and podcasts to your xbox 360.

Note:
You cannot stream any protected content to your 360.
This application is only for mac and is $20 for the full application.

That is true, but that has nothing to do with this, Microsoft has already made patches for ipod compatibility in the past.

why would only having a "DISK MODE" allow a device to play on a 360. a flash drive (no disk) works with 360, and a PSP.

Disk mode doesn't have anything to do about connecting iPods to the Xbox 360. I have connected multiple iPods to my xbox without any difficulties whatsoever. I didn't have disk mode enabled on any of them.
