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 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 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:

My remote Control doesn't work with my new imac

I have a brand new iMac 27" with mountain lion, and Doesn't work with my aluminium remote control, I already follow the steps on Help, but there's no IR option on the advanced button of security and privacy. Of course I already check with my iphone dock and the batteries are OK, So I think it's a bug from the OS.
Any thougths?

Thanks mende1.
Apple that, *****!!

[SOLVED] Xmonad: trasparency doesn't work with compton intel

Dear All,
I am having a strange issue with Xmonad and I am not sure whether it is a problem of my Arch or Xmonad configuration. I decided to ask on Arch forum first, as my other computer running Arch has exactly the same Xmonad setup and it works fine. I would appreciate assistance from some Xmonad or Arch proficient users on this.
Basically, I have this piece of code in my xmonad.hs:
myLogHook :: Handle -> X ()
, logHook = myLogHook dzenLeftBar >> fadeInactiveLogHook 0.8
On the other computer this makes all the unfocused windowses slightly transparent. I find this feature very useful as it helps me focus on the window I am working with.
For some reason this doesn't work on my laptop. My laptop is using xf86-video-intel since the lspci gave me
%lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 03)
Also I am invoking compton-git from AUR but I have also tried with xcompmgr in my xinitrc and it gave exactly the same result - no transparency whatsoever.
I looked through my log file, but couldn't find anything relevant (please let me know if you can think of anything). How do I proceed with this issue? Do I try different composite managers? Do I try different drivers? Is there anyhting in X setup that I should include? Please let me know if you have any ideas.

I am very sorry. I've just discovered that neither compton nor xcompmgr were installed. It's not only solved, it should be marked as [NOT RAISED]. I was migrating my configuration and overlooked some erm... details.

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 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 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!

Anyone have OpenOffice 2.0.2 working with their Intel iMac?

I'm a new Mac user so it very well may be I'm doing something wrong. I downloaded 3 different flavors of the latest OpenOffice that say they work on the Intel Mac platform, but so far no luck. As far as I can tell, X11User is installed properly. When I try running OpenOffice, it shows for a few seconds in the Dock, then goes away. There are no error messages, so I have no idea what is going wrong. If someone has this working, please post the link to the build you are using and any installation / operation hints you might have.

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.

Which Mouse Works With the Intel iMac?

My Microsoft mouse will not enable me to program the buttons on the new iMac.
I am aware that STEERMOUSE shareware will do the job for $20. But have any mouse manufacturers upgraded their drivers to the new Universal binary format?

Download SteerMouse; you get to use it for 30 days for free, by which time maybe Logitech or Kensington will have released Universal Binaries for their mice. But I bet by then you'll be happy glad and pleased to pony up the $20. If not just wait a decade or two for MS to come up with a programmable mouse driver for MacIntels: they can't manage to update Windows in a timely fashion, much less write drivers for the competition.
