Front row doesn't work with both apple+esc and remote

My new macbook can't open front row, not with the remote, and with apple+esc, could it be a file that i have to delete and then restart the computer and that that file automatic comes back??

If, for whatever reason, Front Row isn't in that location, you'll have to re-install it. This shouldn't be a big deal except I'd be a little curious to know why it disappeared...
Insert your original Mac OS X install disk that came with your Mac. You do not need to startup from the disk. Double-click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" option on the disk. At the "Installation Type" window of this installer, click the "Customize" button. This will give you a list of software to check on or check off. Check on the option for Front Row but uncheck everything else (unless there's something else missing that you need!). Run the installer and this should put Front Row back in its proper location. Depending on which version gets installed, you may wan to run the Software Update to make sure Front Row is up-to-date.

  • Front Row doesn't work with my Intel iMac

    I've had my ICD iMac for about 2 months. It used to work, but now when I push the 'Menu' button nothing happens.
    I've rebuilt permissions and restarted.
    If I'm running iTunes I CAN move forward and back tracks.
    Any ideas?

    Have you updated Front Row to 1.2.1?

    Another option might be to install the 10.4.6 combo update.

  • Front Row Doesn't work with iTunes

    I liked that Front Row in Tiger was basically a front for your iTunes. Now they are separate. If you're listening to iTunes and launch front row, you have to start your listening over. That's stupid! Why would Apple do that?
    That's the main function I used front row for. I don't want my listening experience to stop when I de-activate front row. Forget that.

    Yay! I'm happy. This worked:

  • HT201343 My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why  ?

    My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why  ?

    The Airplay icon will not display if the OS is unable to locate any Airplay devices.
    I would check that both devices are connected to the same network and maybe even power cycle the network devices - eg router etc
    Maybe even try to connect both devices to another network like an iPhone personal Hotspot and see if that helps to isolate the problem

  • Front USB doesn't work with some devices

    Hi,
      I have 2 front USB ports and have wired everything correctly (not using the 10th pin).  I tried my digital camera and the maxtor USB hard drive and they both work.  When I try plugging the Adaptec VideOh! USB capturing device, it doesn't seem to work right.  It is detected and the drivers for it installed correctly, but I can't capture any video.  When I unplugged it and plugged it to any of the 4 ports on the back, it works fine.  The D-bracket ports also worked ok with the device.  I wired the 2 front usb ports the same way as the d-bracket (they both have the same color wirings).  The front ports seemed to work ok with the other devices I mentioned, just not the Adaptec Videoh! USB device.  There is a JUSB1 and a JUSB2 on the motherboard.  Are both the same?  I have JUSB1 for the D-bracket and JUSB2 for the front usb ports.  Both are wired the same.  I just wonder why the Adaptec device can work with the D-bracket and not the front USB ports even when they are connected the same way.  Any suggestions?

    At the cable end that plugs into the motherboard snip the jumpers between pins 7-9 and 8-10. See Wonkanoby's signature for a link to diagrams.

  • Front Row no longer works with Airtunes

    May I add my voice to a retrograde step from tiger to leopard. I now no longer proudly show off front row when I play music in my bar since leopard only plays front row directed music through the imac speakers and not air tunes.

    Same problem here. I hoped the issue would have been solved with the 10.5.2 update, but alas.. no.
    I already posted a 'feedback', think I will do it again. Please Apple, fix this; what's Front Row worth without AirTunes?

  • Anyone get Front Row/Quicktime to work with ac3 sound?

    I've searched and searched and tries various codecs and components, but I still can't get quicktime or front row to play sound on .vob files or mpeg-2 files with ac3 muxed in audio.
    Video plays, no sound.
    Has anyone cracked this?

    QuickTime is hopeless at playing surround sound, it is hopeless at doing multiple audio tracks, and is hopeless at doing subtitles.
    VLC, and even Windows Media Player (for Windows) do a better job.
    However, there is one small hope for Mac kind. FrontRow 2.0 as will be included with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, will add the ability for FrontRow to play VIDEO_TS folders (that is copies of DVDs). It will not however use QuickTime to do this (as detailed above QuickTime is useless at this), instead it uses the same DVDFramework that the Apple DVD Player application uses, and therefore like the DVD Player will be able to do AC3, multiple audio tracks, and subtitles.
    Apple should be embarrassed over the fact that QuickTime; supposedly God's gift to multimedia is a hindrance and not a help in this area.
    Note: According to Apple's website, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will include the same QuickTime 7.2 version as is current in Tiger, therefore we will not see any improvements in QuickTime in Leopard (at least not at the time of Leopard shipping).

  • Front Row doesn't work properly in OSX 10.5

    I'm having a problem with Front Row not working properly in OSX 10.5
    iPhoto transitions aren't working properly in the slide shows, My monitor keeps turning off,
    I have a KDS 17" LCD monitor.
    Also iMovie will show movies with big blank gaps in the video,
    Yet iPhoto and iMovie will run fine using OSX 10.4.10
    The other iApps of iLife 08 appear to be alright so far.
    Is there a fix coming?
    Dave

    Figured it out...
    The "Front Row" settings were set for a screensaver, That's why the monitor kept blanking out,
    I've turned off the screensaver in the settings and "Front Row" works fine now.
    There is no screensaver image chosen, That's why the screen kept going blank or even off.
    Hope this helps others.

  • Front Row doesn't work on my Mac mini CoreDuo

    I can't start up FR: neither with the remote control neither with the keyboard (apple+esc).
    In console.log file can see this error every time I try to start up FR using the keyboard shortcut:
    Apr 17 10:07:04 Mac-mini loginwindow[70]: InitServerRemotePort: bootstraplookup(): 0x44e: Bootstrap unknown service
    Any idea?
    Mac mini Intel CoreDuo 1,66GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   2GB RAM

    I am having the same problem.
    May 15 12:20:17 noraa-haras loginwindow[63]: InitServerRemotePort: bootstraplookup(): 0x44e: Bootstrap unknown service
    This appears when clicking "menu" on the remote AND when using command-esc. I can use the remote for controlling volume, iTunes, etc, but cannot invoke FrontRow.
    This is a MacBook Pro with 10.4.6. This used to work, but I can't say when it stopped, presumably after the 10.4.6 upgrade, but I can't say if it was related.
    My latest OS install was from a clean install and used migration manager to move my user and application data. I have never tried to hack FrontRow, but am using Parallels. I only mention this because it has deep ties into the OS. I also use VLC. No other beta-grade software.

  • Front Row doesn't work on MacBook Pro 17

    I just got my nice MacBook Pro 17, which includes Front Row manual and that cute remote control...
    However, i could open Front Row.
    Actualy, the application is not installed. I just found FrontRow.pkg inside the folder HD/Library/Receipts/FrontRow.pkg
    I contact apple.com and downloaded versions there, but couldn't install anyone since the instalers claim that my computer is not equiped to run Front Row (????)
    I couldn't get any support form apple.
    Could anybody help me, pls?

    great!
    I found the same question and the SOLUTION in this forum. Thank you!.
    Pity that the Macbook Pro17 SPANISH manual just says "open the Front Row application" and not how to do (holding Comand-Esc).....
    Nice laptop though....
    Thanks again!

  • HT204291 After updating software on my Apple TV home sharing will not work. Both Apple TV and iMac have home sharing on but when Computer is selected on Apple TV I just get a message saying "turn home sharing on".  But it is.  How can I solve this problem

    I have just updated the software on my Apple TV since then home sharing will not work though I had not used it since installing iOS6 on my iPad 3.  Home sharing is shown to be on on the Apple TV and on on my iMac.  The Apple TV is connected to the router with an ethernet cable and all functions work correctly apart from my computer.
    I have done the following. 
    Switched off the Apple TV and rebooted, did the same with iMac
    Turned off home sharing then turned it on.
    Checked that home sharing is on on both devices.
    Selected Computer
    Get a message telling me to turn home sharing on - IT IS!
    Tried using airplay mirroring on the iPad but the airplay function is missing from iPad.
    It is so annoying since before iOS6 and updating the Apple TV software everything worked perfectly.  Any help would be very gratefully received.
    Thanks

    Hi Everyone,
    hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
    Here's how to do it:
    1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
    2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
    5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
    4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
    5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
    Enjoy!

    Camera plus is not a webcam, it's virtual camera software.    That actual image is generated by that software, not skype.  You should have another option to select a real webcam.  If that still doesn't work, provide a DirectX diagnostic log and any other further details when you select a webcam that is not "Camera plus".
    Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit). Run dxdiag.exe (Start - Run or Win key +R) then press enter or click "OK". Once the diagnostics completes, "Save All information..." to a text file. Please, attach this file to your post.
    Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

  • Getting UConn 8.5 to work with both Exchange 2007 and 2010

    According to the document below, I should be able to set up one Unified Messaging service to access mailboxes on both Exchange 2010 and Exchange 2007 servers.  I setup my service to point to 2010 CAS servers and I can access 2010 mailboxes, but testing 2007 mailboxes comes up with an http 200 error.  If I setup the CAS server as 2007, I can access 2007 mailboxes, but get an error on 2010 mailboxes.  This will be a real pain if I can't do this with one service.  I don't want to have to keep Unity Connection updated as users get moved from 2007 to 2010!  Anyoe know how to do this?
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/connection/8x/unified_messaging/guide/85xcucumg020.html#wp1198171        

    I got this to work!  My Unified Messaging Service was originally setup to Specify an Exchange Server.  That is where I had put the  DNS name of the  CAS server (and that DNS entry pointed to several CAS servers).  I changed the Service to Search for Exchange Servers instead and used that same DNS name in the Active Directory DNS Domain Name.  When I do the test of this service, it tells me it Failed to locate a Domain Controller via DNS, but that is just informational.  It also says it successfully connected to the Exchange CAS server with the autodiscover.xml.  Now my mailboxes on both Exchange 2007 and 2010 are able to receive voicemail messages with this one Service configured.
