Front Row shuts down when ever I click on the movies button

I have read through the majority of issues on the DQ board. My problem differs as I can use iTunes, DVD, and iPhoto through Front Row but when ever I select Movies it just closes unexpected and I am back to the desktop.
Have rebooted, no go. I only have 2 movie files (less that 50megs each), no go. I am in the admin account.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
jz

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can you create a new use with the Accounts System Preferences, log out and log in as the new user? Do they encounter the same trouble? (With or without any movies in the new "Movies" folder? If they do encounter the same issue, then you have a system-wide or hardware problem. (It's doubtful it's a hardware problem.) Is your Front Row up-to-date? The current version is 1.3. Is your QuickTime up-to-date? The current version is 7.1.6. Since videos are played through the QuickTime Player (even if they live in iTunes), it's important that both Front Row and QuickTime are up-to-date.

  • Front Row shuts down when i'm marking a 1 gb movie

    I have just converted Kill Bill vol. 1 (1 gb), and it's working fine in Quicktime, when i'm opening the movie from finder. But when i mark the movie in Front Row, Front Row shuts down.
    What is the problem?

    Please help me....

  • My iPad 2 won't charge and it's completely shut down. I've tried pressing the two buttons simultaneously, but nothing works. It's driving me crazy! Any offers of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    1. The most efficient way to charge an iPad is with the charger that came with the iPad and having that plugged into a wall outlet. Trying to charge while connected to a laptop often doesn't work because the USB port may not provide enough power.
    2. Once an iPad battery has completely drained it may take an hour or more on the wall charger before the iPad responds. So after an hour on the charger reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    3. If the iPad still does not start up make an appt at the Apple store. It will be far better if you have an appointment rather than just walking in because those with appointments will be taken care of before you are.

  • Front row shut down without reasons

    i use front row for many time now but one day unexpectally it shut down when i m in the menus of it
    i had to restore osx , twice because it re happened two times

    I'm not positive about the rear power button but I wouldn't do it on a regular basis.
    Why not have the Mac Mini turn on at a specified time in the morning and have it shut itself down at a specified time in the evening? This way you never have to worry about it.
    I am using my Mac Mini much like you are and have my Energy Saver control panel automatically start up and shut down via the "Schedule" settings.
    I have my Mini plugged into my AV Stereo unit so when I want to watch regular TV on the screen, I just change the AV input to Video 1 (TV in my case). When I want to view the Mini on the screen, I change the AV input to Video 3 (in my case). The sound is also hooked up through the Stereo connections for Video 3.

  • Mail Shuts Down when trying to Open Email with movie

    Just recently Mail is shutting down when I try to open an email with attached movie. When I mail again, the email is still there with the blue dot.
    I found one document suggesting a Java..Cocoa plug in may be the culprit but no luck.
    Any ideas?
    Any assistance very much appreciated.

    Am I the only one having troubles with Apple Mail?
    As I said, when I go to open an email that has a movie (.wmv) attached it shuts mail down. Must be a record if I am the only one encountering this problem.
    Any one? Any ideas?

  • My video app shuts down when I try to view a movie . It crashes when I open it.

    The video app shuts down as soon as I press a movie. How do it fix it?

    I have this same problem. Tried the solution, but it didn't help. Is there another app out there, that will pull my video files for viewing?!
    It's annoying because I took my videos with me traveling, but now I can't watch them!!!!!

  • Front Row shuts down unexpectedly when I'm look through my movie selections

    I'm on a 15" MBP and I keep all of my movie files on an external USB 2.0 drive. I put an alias to the part of the external drive that has my videos in the "My Movies" section on my MBP so that front row would be able "see" the movies on my external drive. I have never had a problem with it. Now when I open up front row, select movies, go to my eternal drives alias and choose the folder that has my movies, front row pulls up the list of movies available. But it takes a long time for it to move to the next movie on the list and will always quit when I get around 4-5 movies down the list. Any ideas? I have around 60 movies in that folder, is that too many? Am I over loading front row? Any help anyone could give would be much appriciated! Thanks You!

    This kind of ***** and is time consuming if you have a lot of movies, but it works. Make a seperate folder for every movie that you have and then put the movie in that folder. Front Row will glide through the folder names allowing you to pick the proper title quickly. It only seem to jam up when there are a lot of movie files in one folder. Hope this helps.

  • Why does iTunes shut down when i try to access the store?

    My iTunes has worked fine for many years but recently it started shutting down as soon as i clicked the Store, Match or Ping link.

    Just deleting and reinstalling the software won't delete your music. Your music is stored on your computer. But, you should backup your iTunes purchases on a timely basis regardless.

  • My ipod shuts down when I connect it to the computer.

    My ipod works perfectly fine. But when I connect it to my computer it just shuts down. Sometimes it says low battery. And sometimes it just shuts right off. I tried to reset it, but that doesn't help. And my computer won't recognize it because the power won't come on when its connected. Any suggestions??

    If you put it into disk mode and connect it to your computer can you see it in Device Manager or My Computer?

  • W520 Shuts down when I apply pressure to the palmrest

    Okay Background stuff:  Previously, my w520 had been freezing and shutting down at random right after I started the computer.  I had the motherboard replaced and it was fixed, but now I have a new problem (that may have had to do with the fix)
    When I lean too hard or push down on the spot to the left of the trackpad (near the windows and intel logo stickers) the screen turns all one color (it varies) for a while, and the computer shuts down.
    I guess its not an urgent problem since it only happens if I forget not to lean there but I was wondering if there's an easy explanation or fix.  I couldn't find any posts about anything like this.  Hopefully someone can shed some light!
    Thanks!

    Hi, gtlane
    To me, it sounds like the repair is responsible for this problem, seeing as you did not face this issue before the motherboard replacement. Some part of the motherboard or other internal component is turning off due to the pressure. I would recommend contacting Lenovo Support and telling them of the issue, if you plan to get it fixed.
    Best,
    Adam

  • Compressor shuts down when I try to load a mov file.

    I am trying to make a DVD. I have edited the film in FCP and now want to put it on to DVD but I must use Compressor, the file is about 500meg, about three minutes long. When I set Compressor to do a DVD for me and attempt to load the mov file it closers down with the message as per image. I have the help but to no avail. Is there anyone out there that can put some light on it forme please

    Earlier versions of FCP aren't compatible with the newest version of Compressor. From your screen shot, it appears your project is in one of those earlier (and highly coveted) versions.  Try exporting a self-contained QT movie from your FCP project and then bring that file into Compressor. 
    Good luck.

  • Pavilion dv6z notebook - shut down a few seconds after pressing the power button

    Pavilion vd6z powers up for 5 seconds (I see the HP logo screen and the Windows startup asks if it should launch the Repair or Start Normally) then it shuts off.
    I have removed the battery/disconnected the adapter and held the power button in for over a minute several times, removed and replaced the memory, blown the dust from the cooling fan & heat sink.  I also have tried booting with the hard drive removed.  The same issue exists if I have the battery in or not.  After all of the these steps, the system still starts up and then powers off after just a couple seconds.
    If I press ESC to enter SETUP, the system will still power off.
    The warranty expired a few weeks ago and HP tech support can not help me...other than suggesting that I put a post on the forum.
    Has anyone experience a similar problem and found a solution?

    Hello again visionpga.
    If you've used known working memory and the problem still exists then you've ruled out many of the causes as you've tried testing all the hardware which you can test. I believe you're experiencing a motherboard issue which is likely a short. This repair is possible for you to do yourself if you have technical experience or you could have the notebook repaired by HP.
    If you want to try repairing the notebook yourself I'll need your product number. This document shows how to locate the product number.
    The US/Canadian number for HP Support is 1-800-474-6836. If you're in another country you'll need to visit HP Support Worldwide to locate the contact information.
    If you have any other questions just let me know.
    Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

  • Why does Elements stop working and shut down when I try to use the smartbrush tool?

    I can use the smart brush tool until I need to change the color. The second I try to change the color of my object, I get a pop up window that says there is a problem and windows has to close to the program. I have already restarted my computer and it still does it.

    There is an update available for Elements 13 which has stability fixes. Please install this update and let me know if you are still facing this issue.

  • HT2589 have a iphone 4s, why is it asking for my visa details when i try to install a 'free ' Ap (torch)? Do i need to turn off any aps that appear in the bottom of my screen when i double click on the home button,if they stay on screen are they using bat

    Why is my iphone 4s asking for my credit card details when trying to download a 'free' torch App? newby!

    Because many free apps have in-app purchases.  And it's also a way for iTunes to verify you're an adult.
    You can log into iTunes on your computer and select your payment options to be 'None'.
