  • I can not configure my xbox 360 as an Extender, nor can I play music it in WMP 12.

    I tried all the methods on the internet you can imagine, even those that I knew would never work, I tried anyway.

    Here are some of the things I've tried:

    • delete the DRM folder
    • disable the firewall on my computer and my router
    • restart all services related to windows media player, streaming, extenders, etc.
    • It removing the xbox 360 of streaming options and let them settle
    • Hook the two up to the router with an ethernet cable (I use my wireless PC)
    • I even tried to download zune to see if maybe this method would work in other

    It announced no results. I'm not a tech model, I was usually able to solve problems of this kind in the past. I went through the PC and the xbox and other parameters and identified which seems to be the issue. My PC sees the Xbox on network perfectly fine, even if sometimes he appears only in the option of "play to" in WMP. My Xbox, however, does not seem to recognize my PC on the network at all because I ran the PC connection on xbox test several times. This may seem like a firewall problem, but as I said earlier, I tried to disable both firewalls without result

    My setup is as follows: my PC is connected wireless (pretty sure this isn't a Word, but it just happened) to my router. My Xbox is connected to my router (ethernet) and my router is connected to a cable modem. My router is a Belkin N150, my computer is a Toshiba Satellite, I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium (100% up-to-date) and a white Xbox 360 (not sure what model it is, or if she same material).

    Please see what you can do with this problem, I tried to fix this for months, and I really wish I could listen to my music and videos on my xbox.

    Thanks in advance,
    James

    I'm so happy I finally thought to it. Just for someone else who has this problem can get it fixed, suggest a routers firmware update. I update my belkins firmware and my xbox my pc immediately. : D

    Hello Ghostdogaln.

    How do hang you the controller?  You must either use a * wired * controller, or use a wireless controller with receiver game Xbox 360 for Windows.

    If you use a wireless with a Play and Charge kit controller, it will not work as long as the USB cord only actually plug into the battery for the controller itself.

  • How can I connect my xbox 360 controller to my iMac (last updated: mountain lion)? I bought star wars force unleashed on AppStore and it said only 360 controller can be used then, how can I connect to my mac? I have the wire on the load control

    I bought star wars power of the force on the apple app store. It says that i can use the controller to xbox 360 to play other than keyboards. now how to connect the controller 360 for mac? I have the charger cable to connect to the controller that has a usb key that I have connected to my iMac (desktop), but this isn't like the ps3 where he worked. Help, please! I have the latest version of the update of the iMac, which I believe is the mountain lion

    Not sure if this will help. Here and all over the web search will show that you mixed results.

    Try this download. I have a new Macbook Pro El Capitan 10.11.3 running. Just installed this to use my old Xbox 360 wired controllers USB to play Lego games. Despite the mixed reviews, this seems to have worked perfectly and actually gives you an ability to customize the controller.

    Al https://github.com/360Controller/360Controller/releases/tag/v0.15_beta5_unoffici

    NOTES:

    (1) it is Beta version 5; newer than all the other versions of this utility I saw reviewed about the feature. You may need a different version because your version of iOS, but I'm not an expert here.

    (2) once installed and the computer restarts, you will find the utility as a new icon in the system preferences (the gear in your dock icon, probably), not applications, utilities, etc.

  • How can I configure on a second two-factor authentication apple that isn't an icloud but rather my itunes account account ID? Only, I seem to be able to use two steps on the second account.

    How can I configure on a second two-factor authentication apple that isn't an icloud but rather my itunes account account ID? Only, I seem to be able to use two steps on the second account.

    You can not. Two Apple factor authentication is a feature of iOS and OS X, based on your AppleID being associated with iCloud account to send and receive authentication 6-digit codes. An AppleID that is not associated with iCloud account cannot be used for 2-factor authentication.

    For Apple ID - Apple Support two-factor authentication

    You can set up validation in 2 steps (which is different) with any AppleID - see frequently asked questions about check in two steps for Apple ID - Apple Support

  • How can I configure the cell data format

    How can I configure data format of cell numbers: for example, I want to capture 123456.78 and need to be 12A3456.78?

    I tried to put #A # #. # format option, but it didn't work a few time and it became A123456.78.

    I also tried on excel and it worked very well, but I like the numbers better. is there a solution to this problem?

    Thank you

    HEY Chi - Lun,

    I don't think that this is possible as many number format. You should be able to insert A in a text string using a formula, but this would happen in a second cell, not that the number has been entered.

    "Assuming all the"numbers require the same inserted letter after the second number, this should do the work."number" entered in column A; the formula in column B. In the table below, your value as an example is A6.

    = Left (A, 2) & "A" & RIGHT (A, LEN (A) - 2)

    Kind regards

  • How can I configure my Mozilla Thunderbird to me for new confirmed before leaving?

    I used to use Microsoft outlook. In outlook, we use the button 'close' at the top right of a mail to close this letter.
    In thunderbird, this 'x' is available on the top somewhere in the middle.

    To close a mail, I click on the upper right corner by mistake and the release of Thunderbird (which I didn't) by mistake.

    How can I configure my Mozilla Thunderbird to me for new confirmed before leaving?

    As far as I can see there is no easy way to do this. However, an easy option is to have the Thunderbird in the system tray on hitting the close instead of closing button. The add-on "Minimize on start and close" for Thunderbird accomplishes this mission and to close all what you need to do is right-click on the icon in the taskbar, and then click close to close actually it. I hope this helps.

  • How can I configure mobile android password manager copy all of my passwords from firefox to my office?

    How can I configure my new mobile password manager for my android phone copy all of my passwords from firefox to my office?
    Right now, I noticed there is only about 8 passwords listed.
    But my office saved password manager has about 50 listed.
    This makes me think that the android app is to choose only to remember what I saved directly with my android. I want to capture all my saved passwords from my desktop also.
    I tried recheck my firefox sync options, but only confirmed that I don't have this game automatically synchronize all my data (including passwords.)

    I found that I have to press the 'Menu' (three horizontal lines in a square) in the mobile view and connect until I'm able to meet Firefox on Android.

    Now that you're on your desktop: try passwords uncheck in synchronization preferences, wait a few seconds, then check again. Then on your phone, the settings of the open Android app, accounts & sync, choose your Firefox Sync account, then Menu > sync now.
