Use iMac as screen for Xbox 360, Wii? Discussion in 'iMac' started by bungiefan89, May 27, 2011. Most Liked Posts. But how do I hook up my Xbox 360 or Wii to use my 2011 iMac for a display? Discord for mac os 10.6. Note, my Xbox 360 does NOT have an HDMI port. I'm looking for an adapter or something that can somehow transfer a signal from my 360 or Wii's Composite.

Doing this will allow you to access your Xbox anywhere you can take your laptop, as long as you are in range of the wireless router. So, unfortunately, to do this you need to have a wireless Internet connection, but the good news is that you don't need to be a tech genius in order to link the Xbox with your laptop. Click and drag a box over both the 'Wireless Connection' icon and the 'Local Area Connection' icon to select them both.

Right-click and select 'Bridge Connections.' Wait a few minutes for the connections to bridge. The progress bar in the middle of the screen will tell you how much time is left. Plug one end of your Ethernet cable (available from any electronics store or online) into the USB port in the side of your laptop and plug the other end in the port on the side of your Xbox. Make sure your Xbox is connected to a TV and turned on. Click on the 'Settings' tab on the main menu of your Xbox and select 'Network Settings' from the list of options.

Look at your laptop screen to confirm the connections. Your laptop screen should now be connected wirelessly to the Xbox and displaying whatever the Xbox is displaying.
