Xbox 360 connected to macbook pro

If you're attempting to use your macbook pro as an external display, well it doesn't support that, so, no.

I would like to connect my xbox to the internet through my Macmini's ethernet connection. The Macmini is receiving internet wirelessly from my modem. Will this work?

Hi tri, You can check one of my replies to the same issue as i was trying to do the same thing as you are trying now with no success, simply because the LCD monitor on you mac is an OUTPUT device, not INPUT one, Even i got one of these hight end TV tuners but again simply, The kind of resolution the Xbox needs to display the game on a screen is way too high then what your screen can offer. It spitted me a message that it need a higher resolution to display, So, Save you efforts and money.

I think this can be done in the sharing tab under sys pref, Just go there and enable your internet sharing using airport to a computers using ethernet cables, The computer using ethernet in your case would be the XBOX360 off course, And the macmini will be the one who provide the net using it's internal wifi. Good luck.

yes you can, i have a 15 macbook pro. Today i bought an [xbox cable from game stop|http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.my-batteries.net/images/gam e-accessories/Definition-Hd-Vga-Av-Cable-For-Xbox-360-Dolby-5.1.jpg&imgrefurl=ht tp://www.my-batteries.net/game-accessories/Definition-Hd-Vga-Av-Cable-For-Xbox-3 60-Dolby-5.1.htm&usg= _vo8j8AKEiV7LnYT3pCHaJLRTKo8=&h=400&w=400&sz=23&hl=en&start=28&zoom=1&tbnid=-Mfm FFpWEFxV2M:&tbnh=168&tbnw=171&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dxbox%2Bcable%2Bvga%2Bhd%2Bav%2B cable%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26safe%3Doff%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Den%26bi w%3D1205%26bih%3D668%26tbs%3Disch:10%2C367&um=1&itbs=1&iact=rc&dur=519&ei=0CB7TM fNDoSKlwekjrmvCg&oei=jSB7TOrlO82X4gbntY3BQ&esq=2&page=2&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:28&tx=62&ty=124&biw=1205&bih=668].

Hey man,

if you want to hook up your xbox 360 to your macbook pro, there is a cable that i found on amazon that look like the typical xbox component cable. However in place of the yellow jack there is a HD VGA adapter and the usual red and white AV cables. To make it work just buy the AV converter so you can plug it into the line in jack on the side of the macbook and the DVI to VGA adapter and your playing xbox on your laptop. If you search HD VGA xbox 360 in amazon it should come up. Cheers man hope it works for you too.

Hey Guys, so I got the VGA cable, and plugged it into my Macbook Pro, and I'm thinking "now what?" Clearly, some connection has been made, because my Macbook screen changed Resolutions, or something (not exactly a tech guy). But the screen looks different, so a connection is made. But now, how to I play?

Your 13" MBP is newer and has different video hardware spec that the older MBPs this forum covers. You might get more answers better targeted at your version by posting in the forum for newer MBPs, including all 13-inch models, here:
