PLEASE HELP!!! How do I connect my MAC to my PS3? - Blu-ray Forum

joegs300 · 01-10-2009, 05:07 PM

Hey guys... I'm kind of a noob when it comes to these things... I was able to connect my iPod shuffle to my PS3 to copy my songs... but I would like to also transfer pictures and more music and also videos and things from my macbook to my PS3. Should I just use an ethernet cable? Do I have to download software? Thanks in advance!

Thanks Sloan... I tried doing some research (half-assed, I'll admit)... but could only find Vista or Windows help sites. Hopefully this link will help.. Any other suggestions from the Mac users?

Try MediaLink to stream content to the PS3.

joegs300 · 01-10-2009, 08:30 PM

Galley- so the long and the short of it is that in order to stream information, I have to purchase the product.. which is $20? I am not scoffing at the price and will gladly play it in order to utilize the use of my PS3 to its fullest... I just wanted to clear it up. Thanks for the link too!

If I'm not mistaken, you can stream audio for free, but you gotta pay to stream video and whatnot.

I to have media link and it is great. Completely worth the money. If you are looking to stream wirelessly. HD contest to stream can be a pain sometimes though.

I use it to stream pictures from my mac to the tv when friends and family come over. A lot better than trying sit around a computer screen.
