Can I use Front Row with my Macbook closed?

I just got a mini-dvi to video cable for my macbook. I love using front row with it but I was wondering if there was a way that you could use front row with the laptop closed. Oh and I'm using tiger, so its not the new version of front row.

With your computer attached to a keyboard you should be able to wake it from sleep and run it properly with the lid closed.

  • Can I use Front Row with macMini (PowerPC)?

    Is Front Row compatible with macMini PowerPC version and Tiger? Or does it need Intel?

    Do you think that I can successfully emulate an Apple TV by setting up my MacMini (PowerPC) with a third party (someone suggested Keyspan) remote, Front Row application, and using Front Row to access iTunes music, TV shows, and videos (same as APple TV),and using Safari to access .mac web gallery (now available on Apple TV2)? The interface on the AppleTV is probably more elegant and seamless, but really, I could access the same content with the macMini, right? Also YouTube videos and Picasa photos can also be accessed via Safari. It will just look and feel more like a computer if I use Safari, vs a Media Centre! Do you think it's worth giving a try?

  • I can not use CanoScan N670U with my Macbook pro. I download canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon website. It keep saying "the scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

    I can not use CanaScan N670U with my Macbook Pro. I download Canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon websit. It still keep saying "The scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

    There is a solution (I'm running Snow Leopard on a Core2Duo iMac, but this problem arose when I was running Leopard on a G4 PowerBook too).
    Problem:
    You download the OS X driver for the scanner from Canon's site. I already had the CanoScan Toolbox (4.1) stored on an external drive.
    You unzip the driver and run the VISE installer. After a search it finds your copy of Photoshop (and maybe even the CanoScan Toolbox), and you click to install on that/those location(s).
    You get a couple of error messages, which you click through.
    You restart your computer and try to run the scanner but you get an error that the driver is wrong or missing and the process will abort.
    Solution:
    BEFORE you restart, and with the installer package still open -
    1. Copy the Into_CFMSupport_Login & Into_CMPrefs folders to
    Applications : Canon Utilities
    Applications : Canoscan Toolbox
    and remove the prefix Into_ from each folder
    2. Check whether the installer placed N067U_Library.shlb into the top level (not User level)
    Library : CFMSupport
    and if it didn't, move it there yourself
    THEN restart, and try again. It worked for me (via Photoshop), but whether it will work for everyone, I don't know.

  • HT201335 can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv

    can i use air play with my macbook pro and apple tv

    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

  • Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?

    Can I use Bluetooth earphones with my Macbook Pro?
    If so, are there any problems and/or limitations in doing so? (i.e. no stereo sound, or anything else?).

    Can you use Bluetooth earphones simultaneously with the Magic Mouse (which is also Bluetooth)?
    And, just out of curiosity, why can't you use the Bluetooth earphones on an airplane?

  • HT2208 Can I use Apple TV with a MacBook Air?

    Can I use Apple TV with my MacBook Air?
    The promotional material online doesn't make this clear but I like the sound of what' said on Apple TV.
    I'll buy one now if it works!

    In what way? You can use home-sharing to stream your iTunes library and Photos. If it's a recent MBA then you will also be able to mirror when Mountain Lion is released.

  • Can I use a mouse with the Macbook Air?

    Can I use a mouse with the Macbook Air or am I limited to the touchpad?

    I had been wondering for awhile if I can use a mouse with a MacBook air if I was to get one (MacBook air) some years down the road (probably within 20 years).
    Now I know and I can. 

  • Can I use TV only with my MacBook Pro, or I need a TV?

    I have an Apple 30" Cinema Display and a MacBook Pro, so I don't have a TV.
    Can I use TV directly on my computer without a TV (HOW?), or it doesn't work without a TV?

    You can't get much more direct than using the computer itself.
    Your MBP can mirror its display to your ACD and use front row. While this isn't quite as convenient as the tv it is not far from the same.
    Why would you send a picture from your MBP to an tv only to have it sent back again. The tv (I don't think) would be anywhere near powerful enough to power a 30" ACD.

  • Can I use Front Row on external monitor with MacBook Pro's cover closed?

    I've seen that you can use the remote to control Front Row even when the lapatop's cover is closed (on a MacBook Air). Is it possible with a first generation MB Pro? Are there special settings?
    Thx

    You can use a MacBook Pro in "clamshell" mode if you have the AC adapter plugged in for power, an external display attached and an external keyboard and mouse (USB or Bluetooth) to wake the computer after it's been closed. This is the official word from Apple:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131
    However, even if you don't have a keyboard and mouse, you should still be able to wake the MacBook Pro using the Apple remote by pressing the "menu" button. (You do still need to have the power plugged in and the display plugged in.)

  • Using Front Row with remote control?

    Hi,
    Can anyone please advise if I can activate Front Row using the remote control in OSX Server?
    Before I upgrade from OSX 10.4 to 10.5 Server, the remote control was working fine. I believe OSX Server may have disabled it? Is there anyway to enable it?
    Many Thanks!

    Hmm.. found it under Security setting...
    Thanks !

  • Can I use 4K monitor with my MacBook Pro Non-retina?

    I am considering to use 4k monitor for my MacBook. I have mid-2012 15" MacBook Pro. But I'm afraid that it will not perform as good as standard hd monitor. I'm wondering if any of you have tried using 4k monitor for your MacBook. Thank you.

    Won't work - at least not with 4K resolution.
    Supposedly, the late 2013 retina machines with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M with 2GB GDDR5 memory will run 4K resolutions - but only in Windows 8, NOT in any version of OS X, yet.
    So you'll just have to buy a new Mac Pro or wait until Apple comes out with an OS that supports running 4K on a new MacBook Pro Retina and buy that.
    Sorry,
    Clinton
