Apple Fixed Mini but Forgot to Load Front Row - now what

Hi, my Mac Mini sufferred a hard drive malfunction. Everything was backed up, I have Apple Care and my local apple store replaced the drive and reinstalled the OS. Unfortunately, they forgot to include Front Row.
Is it possible to re-install Front Row from a single downloadable file or do I need to go through the whole OS installation process again?
If I go through the whole installation process again, I think I'll need to reapply all the service packs, fixes, security fixes, and 10.4.9, which I prefer not to do.
Thanks in advance.

    Hello AndrewsAFCx,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot remember your security questions for your Apple ID, I would recommend these steps outlined in the article named:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    What should I do if I don't remember the answers to my Apple ID security questions?
    Try answering them at least once to see if you can get them right, even if you are not sure you remember the answers to your security questions.
    If you are confident you can't remember them, try one of the following:
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers. 
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID password
    contact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    Note: If you have forgotten your password and answer your security questions incorrectly too many times in a row, you will be unable to try to answer your security questions for a period of time. During that time you will not be able to reset your password and will not have access to your account.
    All the best,

  • When i start my ipad 3 the apple logo appears but then a loading bar appears and it stucks i have restarted it but nothing is happening pleeeeease help me!i love my ipad sooo much.....!!!

    when i start my ipad 3 the apple logo appears but then a loading bar appears and it stucks i have restarted it but nothing is happening pleeeeease help me! i love my ipad sooo much.....!!!

    Try this first.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If that does not help, you may have to restore your iPad.

  • Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try.

    Ever since I downloaded the new Firefox, when I right-click on a link to open it in a different tab, the tab will open but will not load anything, no matter what link I try. The tab will show the website destination in the navigation bar, but will not automatically load it; I have to press the load button in the navigation bar instead of it instantly loading.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == The newest version, 3.6.6, of Firefox was downloaded

    It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
    It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

  • I am having trouble with my iPad, i can start it, but the iPad does not work. i tried to use the power and home button at the same time, the apple logo appears, but the iPad does not work. What am I suppose to do?

    After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.

  • Big Mini Trouble with DVD and Front Row

    Set-Up
    I am trying to use my mac mini as a media centre connected to a 42" sharp aquos 1080HD, for sound i use a 5.1 bose speaker set-up, which is irrelevant to my problem, but the mac interfaces with a yamaha rxv661B 7.1 channel digital home theatre receiver, via DVI to HDMI and sound through head phone to RCA set-up that will soon be upgraded to optical. All connected to the appropriate DVD channels on the recevier, video goes to the TV via HDMI. My set-up has no DVD player other than the super drive on the mac mini, the only other input is a Bell ExpressVu 9200 PVR.
    My Problem
    1. Playing DVDs the brightness on the picture fluctuates in a very regular wave like pulse. What am I doing wrong?
    2. Front Row Crashes the computer whenever I try to access any of the movie files. The files play fine when accessed directly or through itunes but crash the system in front row. DVDs play, and the online movie clips play, and music and picture content are no problem.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    As an aside does anyone know if youtube will be available to non Apple-TV front row users, as well?
    Mini 1.83   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   12" Powerbook G4

    Everything is plugged into a three pronged plug using a relatively sophisticated surge protecting power bar, but you may be on to something, the power bar has a light to indicate if it is properly grounded and that has not lit up since its been in use, perhaps the outlet isn't properly grounded, I live in a recently renovated 100yr old home.
    As for the files they are a mixture of mpg, mov and a number of m4v (that might be my postal not a file format) I mean the ipod format, a lot of the video files I produce I put directly into the ipod ready format.

  • How can I use apple remote with Mountain Lion? Any Front Row alternative?

    Hi All,
    I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    All great except for my Apple Remote control.
    Before, I could effectively control my iMac media with Apple Remote by using Front Row (music, photos, videos, good integration with iTunes and iPhoto).
    Now, as I understand, Front Row is expired.
    So, my Apple remote still works but with very limited options (just music, forward, backward and volume), and it's a real pity.
    Any of you Guys know how to restore Front Row?
    Otherwise maybe suggest an alternative (sth similar, should allow iMac media control by Apple Remote)?
    So far I tried to restore all Front Row files by a Time Capsule Snow Leopard backup (as indicatred on some other Communities).
    To restore was easy, but then, no way to launch it.
    Any advice will help!
    Thanks in advance/all the best.

    Thanks Klaus1 for your prompt answer, although I went again through a dated discussion.
    I also got the feeling that somehow they want to push Apple TV..
    But, respectfully speaking towards our Friends at Apple, is it fair to promise what you don't deliver?
    I have choosen apple because I percive it's different.
    At currently published link: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC377Z/A/apple-remote
    they do promote the following:
    Apple Remote with Mac
    The Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It works with Front Row - a menu-based, full-screen interface - to make accessing the digital content on your Mac as simple as navigating your iPod. When you press the Menu button, your desktop fades and the sleek, Front Row interface takes its place, to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Videos folder and your DVDs. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slide show, a home video that you made in iMovie, even a film trailer.
    Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. Not compatible with MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Cost for this is 15£ (19€).
    Now, I have iMac and Mac Book Pro (no retina display) both with Mountain Lion installed, and I understand both of them are not compatible with Front Row.
    Actually I adore apple tv and I got 2 at home nicely working on 2 different TVs.
    So I accomplished twice their wish of selling this product to me.
    Why shall they deceive me (and many others, as I read) by killing a still promised service?
    Should I read all forums before buying a trusted-brand-product like apple, to ensure that id does what declared?
    Don't get me wrong, I'm an enthusiast user of the whole apple family, since many years, and still I am.
    Just politely complaining for this decision, which creates to Many an easy avoidable disservice.
    Cheers

  • I have upgraded to lion but it seems that front row has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    How do I get Front Row back? I used to use it all the time!!

    antrozous wrote:
    Front Row got taken off Lion.
    But you can search on youtube for a work around (not sure I can post links here)
    If you do a search here you will find a couple of other programs that work in a similar fashion under Lion. Can't recall their names, I never used Front Row, but I recall the posts being on the Lion Forums somewhere.
    Good Luck

  • Stom Mac Mini from sleeping when iTunes/Front Row is playing

    Just like the title says ..
    When I play music through front row/iTunes, the computer still sleeps. This is not the case when playing videos. I've looked everywhere for setting to change this, but can't seem to find it.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Blue

    It's not the computer but the monitor that falls asleep when using iTunes.
    You can change this in syspreferences, energy saving.
    Sleeping of monitors is suppressed when you watch videos in full screen mode.

  • I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update now it doesn't even turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. What should I do?

    I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update. Now my iPod doesn't turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. I've tried charging it, letting it discharge, I've tried things I found on the internet but nothing seems to be working. What can I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Love Front Row! What else can I do with it???

    I just got a new macbook pro and love the fact that I can access all of the "Shared" iTunes content on my G5 hard drive wirelessly! Which means I don't have to worry about the limited laptop hard drive space filling up with iTunes stuff.
    Cannot wait until 10.5 comes out and I have Front Row on my G5 Tower as well!!!!
    So what else can I do with Front Row?
    I noticed I can access everything in my Home/Movies Folder on my macbook pro, but not the Home/Movies Folder on my G5. Is there a way to do this?
    What about other players? I heard there was a VLC plugin that would allow you to use the Apple Remote with the VLC Player, but it seems to be off the web now.
    While I can access the shared iphoto, music and movies from my G5, I can't play DVD's that are in my G5.
    Anyone else out there discover any cool tricks with this thing?

    VLC does not require a plug-in for the Apple Remote any longer - this functionality is now part of VLC. As long as VLC has system focus the remote will control the application.

  • Front Row now playing trailers

    I was bored and decided to try front row and it mysteriously now works. Go figure.

    Just because it works for you doesn't mean it's working for others

  • All my apps (even App Store!) disappeared (iPad 1 upgrade to ios5).  Most apps show up on laptop but app sync is greyed (no restrictions). I have 2 accounts due to apple email req, but I've loaded apps between my iPhone and iPad before.  iPad now zero.

    I postponed upgrading my iPad 1 because iTunes told me it wasn't homed on my computer.  I tried it on my other computers, all with the same message.  I finally upgraded it from my MacBook after appearing to sync the apps.  When it finished (5.01), all of my apps and data were gone, as well as several stock apps including the App Store itself (although it appears in settings).  Since what seems to be all of my apps (iPad and iPhone) appear in iTunes on my Windows portable, I tried resyncing the iPad there (as its new home).  Restrictions are off, there is plenty of memory, but the app sync screen and app list are greyed out.  Nothing will download to my iPad.
    My original Apple account is under my name.  However, I had to create a second account at some point in the past due to Apple's requirement that the name be an email address, which is my name (identical) at mac.com.  Since both are in my name, it didn't originally occur to me that Apple would consider them as different accounts.  This may have a bearing on what is going on, but I don't think so since I have exchanged apps between iPad and iPhone before.  To check whether this might be related, I tried to change the account name on the iPad (removing @mac.com).  I received a message that if I did so I would have to wait for 90 days to download my apps, which is not satisfactory since my grandchildren and I use the iPad regularly.  And I need it for work.
    I'm assuming that if I could reactivate the App Store I could redownload my purchased apps.  Better yet would be merging both "accounts" into one, if that is the source of the issue.  I appreciate your help and suggestions.
    Steve

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

  • HT5312 I know my apple Id password but forgot my security questions what do I do

    I don't know my security questions but I know my password

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
