Can't Get To Front Row...

Help! I know my Remote is working because pushing play/pause will start/stop an iTunes song. But when I press Menu, it will not bring up Front Row. I checked my mouse/keyboard shortcuts as well, and it's set to bring up Front Row with Command + Escape. That is not working either. How can I check if it got accidentally un-installed or turned off somehow?? Two weeks ago I had to do an archive & install back to 10.4.4 (I believe), but would that have affected Front Row?
Please help! Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, I don't have an iMac G5 with a built-in iSight at home. I did a search here in the Front Row forum looking for a report from someone else with one of those Macs who needed to re-install Front Row, but I didn't find one.
If you had an Intel-based Mac, you can use the "Install Bundled Software Only" option on the original Mac OS X install disk to re-install Front Row. But, from previous topics I've read here, Front Row does not appear in the "Customize" screen for the G5 iMacs.
If I had to guess, there'd be an option in the Mac OS X installer itself. But since I don't have one of those Macs, I couldn't test it myself to find the screen or check box. We do have one at work, but I'm not sure I could find the install disks for it and test it there. (I'd have to interrupt someone at work too!) We install all our Macs from a FireWire hard drive that has a standard bundle of software and Mac OS X. So, the install disks themselves are not usually important. I may have time on Monday to do a little search for it if no one else responds here.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Ugh. help me if you can!  Proplem w/  front-row.  no music on slideshow

    forgive me if this is a small problem that I should be able to resolve on my own.
    When using Front Row to access a slideshow, the music that I added to the show doesn't play! Yet, when I launch the show from iPhoto, it plays. This happens on only one particular slideshow. ..I did delete the "plist" for iPhoto, but this didn't fix it (this was a sort of "fix all" tip that I found using the help menu.)
    Any suggestions? Front Row is pretty cool - I'd hate to not be able to use it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, thank you, i realised that headphones with noise canceling are something i must get....but, i cant belive that the same headphones with touch and nano produce such dramatic different experience...i can hardly belive that nano has better what..sound procesor, amplifier than touch...it shouldent be that way.
    i am thinking it must have something to do with ..say latest regulations regarding volume imput in some countries or what, and i thought that it must be the program that cansels it..or so..since i have wireless on this thing.

  • How can I get the selected rows from two ALV grids at the same time?

    I have a program that uses two ALV grids in one dialog screen. I'm using the OO ALV model (SALV* classes).
    The user can select any number of rows from each grid. Then, when a toolbar pushbutton is pressed, I'd have to retrieve the selected rows from both grids and start some processing with these rows.
    It is no problem to assign event handlers to both grids, and use the CL_SALV_TABLE->GET_SELECTIONS and CL_SALV_SELECTIONS->GET_SELECTED_ROWS methods to find out which rows were marked by the user. Trouble is, this only works when I raise an event in each grid separately, for instance via an own function that I added to the grid's toolbar. So, I can only see the selected rows of the same grid where such an event was raised.
    If I try to do this in the PBO of the dialog screen (that contains the two grids), the result of CL_SALV_SELECTIONS->GET_SELECTED_ROWS will be empty, as the program does not recognize the marked entries in the grids. Also, an event for grid1 does not see the selected rows from grid2 either.
    As it is right now, I can have an own button in both grid's toolbar, select the rows, click on the extra button in each grid (this will tell me what entries were selected per grid). Then, I'd have to click on a third button (the one in the dialog screen's toolbar), and process the selected rows from both grids.
    How can I select the rows, then click on just one button, and process the marked entries from both grids?
    Is it somehow possible to raise an event belonging to each grid programmatically, so that then the corresponding CL_SALV_SELECTIONS->GET_SELECTED_ROWS will work?
    Thanks.

    Hello Tamas ,
    If I try to do this in the PBO of the dialog screen (that contains the two grids), the result of CL_SALV_SELECTIONS->GET_SELECTED_ROWS will be empty, as the program does not recognize the marked entries in the grids. Also, an event for grid1 does not see the selected rows from grid2 either.--->
    is it possible to  have a check box in each grid  & get the selected lines in PAI of the screen ?

  • Is there any way I can browse photos on Front Row and choose the music?

    Hi!
    Without creating a slideshow or anything in advance, is there any way using Front Row that I can browse my photos and either keep my iTunes music playing in the background or the music I choose in Front Row?
    Thanks

    I am going to assume you are on Leopard, if so, as far as I understand it, under FR 2.0, this is not possible. This is the sole reason I have yet to upgrade to Leopard, hope you listening Apple!!! I only have one mac, a mini, that I use as a HTPC. Why this functionality was removed is like a Windows type decision, pointless and ridiculous.
    I have a seen a lot of talk about being able to install the old version of FR, search the forums, for how to do that.
    Under Tiger, it is totally do-able, as long as you ensure your default picture slideshow setting does not have pre-saved music.

  • How can i get the failed row numbers in batch insertion?

    Afeter execution of batch insert operation into a table, i use OCIAttrGet() to get the error number of insertion, as expected, it returns the correct number. however, when i use OCIParamGet() to get an error handle and then to get the exact failed row numbers , OCIParamGet() returns -2 , means "INVALID_HANDLE". can anyboy tell me why ? how can i get the exact failed rows?
    the snapshot of my code :
    int errNum = 0;
    int nRet = 0;
    nRet = OCIAttrGet((dvoid *)m_pIIOdbc->m_pStmtAll,OCI_HTYPE_STMT,&errNum,
              0,OCI_ATTR_NUM_DML_ERRORS, m_pIIOdbc->m_pErrHandle);
    if (errNum)
         OCIError* pErrHndl;
         int* pRow_off = new int[errNum];
         for (int i = 0; i < errNum; i++)
         nRet = OCIParamGet(m_pIIOdbc->m_pErrHandle,
    OCI_HTYPE_ERROR, m_pIIOdbc->m_pErrHandle, &pErrHndl, i + 1);
         nRet = OCIAttrGet (pErrHndl, OCI_HTYPE_ERROR, &pRow_off, 0,
         OCI_ATTR_DML_ROW_OFFSET, m_pIIOdbc->m_pErrHandle);
              delete []pRow_off;

    now the code is :
    OCIEnv      *m_pEnvHandle;                    
    OCIError      *m_pErrHandle;                         
    OCIError     *m_pErrHandle2;                    
    OCIServer *m_pSrvHandle;                         
    OCISvcCtx *m_pSvcHandle;                         
    OCIStmt *m_pStmtExec;
    OCIStmt *m_pStmtAll;
    OCIError** m_pErrorHndl;     
    int* m_pRowOff; //the array that will contain the failed row numbers
    int     m_nArrayLength; //length of array in once batch operation
    int m_nErrNum; //error number
    int m_nSucCount; //successful record number
    //initialization
    //m_nArrayLength is a parameter passed in, so i can not tell the exact length of the array, dynamic space allocation is needed
    m_pErrorHndl = new OCIError*[m_nArrayLength];
    m_pRowOff = new int[m_nArrayLength];
    //execution
    OCIStmtExecute(
              m_pSvcHandle,
              m_pStmtAll,
              m_pErrHandle,
              (ub4)m_nArrayLength,
              (ub4)0, (OCISnapshot *)NULL, (OCISnapshot *)NULL,
              OCI_BATCH_ERRORS
    //get successful records number
    m_nSucCount = 0;
    OCIAttrGet((dvoid *)m_pStmtAll,OCI_HTYPE_STMT,&m_nSucCount,
              0,OCI_ATTR_ROW_COUNT, m_pErrHandle);
    //get error numbers
    m_nErrNum = 0;
    OCIAttrGet((dvoid *)m_pStmtAll,OCI_HTYPE_STMT,&m_nErrNum,
              0,OCI_ATTR_NUM_DML_ERRORS, m_pErrHandle2);
    //get failed row numbers into the array
    if (m_nErrNum)
              //get failed row numbers into the array
              for (int i = 0; i < m_nErrNum; i++)
                   //initiallize error handles               OCIHandleAlloc((dvoid*)m_pEnvHandle, (dvoid**)&m_pErrorHndl,
                        OCI_HTYPE_ERROR, (size_t)0, (dvoid**)0);
                   OCIParamGet(m_pErrHandle, OCI_HTYPE_ERROR, m_pErrHandle2, (void**)&m_pErrorHndl[i], i);
                   OCIAttrGet (m_pErrorHndl[i], OCI_HTYPE_ERROR, &m_pRowOff[i], 0,
                                            OCI_ATTR_DML_ROW_OFFSET, m_pErrHandle2);
    now, if batch insert is executed, eg, there are 10 records to be inserted, thus m_nArrayLength is set to be 10. There are 5 records of the 10 have exist in database, so some of insert operations will fail. After execution, m_nErrNum is 5, and i can get the failed row numbers.Everything seems go well.
    However, if batch updata is excuted, eg, 10 records to be updated, m_nArrayLength is set to be 10, and also there are 5 records of the 10 have exist in database. After execution, the OCIStmtExecute() returns 1, m_nErrNum got by
    OCIAttrGet((dvoid *)m_pStmtAll,OCI_HTYPE_STMT,&m_nErrNum,
              0,OCI_ATTR_NUM_DML_ERRORS, m_pErrHandle2)
    is 0, and m_nSucNum is 5. Why?? how can I get the rows that fail? i have to know which rows do not exist in database??

  • Can't get to previous rows in numbers

    I was working on a spreadsheet in numbers. All of a sudden, I can't go to previous rows.  I did not change any settings nor hide anything. I have a header row and currently working on row 147.  I tried to scroll up to row 57 and can't scroll beyond row 138.  Any advice?

    So I tried it on my phone and desktop and it was frozen for some unknown reason.  And only that sheet. It didn't affect any other sheet in the workbook.  I literally had to create a new sheet and then copy and paste for it to work...

  • How can I get the selected row's index of a Jlist wrapped with JScrollpane?

    the problem is that I can use getSelectedIndex() only if the JList is not wrapped in a JScrollPane.
    but in my program the JList IS wrapped in a JScrollPane.
    when I select one item of the jscrollpane I can't catch the event.
    please F1 me.
    Lior.

    What difference does it make if the list is inside a scroll pane or not? If you have a member varialbe that references the list you can call getSelectedIndex when ever you need.
        myList = new JList (...)
        someComponent.add (new JScrollPane (myList));
        //  Then later
        int sel = myList.getSelectedIndex ();And you can always be up on any selection chagnes in the list by supplying it with a ListSelecitonListener.

  • Any way to get Front Row to show video playlists such as TV shows?

    I can get AppleTV now to show the TV show playlists in iTunes as their own menu items. However, I can't seem to get Front Row in 10.6 to do the same thing.
    I currently have iTunes 8.2.1 in 10.6.0. Is this something either upgrading to 10.6.1 or iTunes 9 will enable?

    Front Row users have been waiting for this option since video playlists first appeared in iTunes quite some time ago. Unfortunately, I've never been able to make it work. Why Apple can't enable what seems like a simple options is beyond me. My iPod nano can do it but Front Row on my Mac can't. I'd advise you to send Apple some Mac OS X feedback since there's no specific form for Front Row itself:

  • How/where can I find front row?

    How/where can I find Front Row? I had it earlier...it might have disappeared when I downloaded OS X Lion.....?
    Hope someone can answer me!

    Front Row is no longer part of Lion. But there's some good news: Install Front Row on Lion

  • 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.

  • Best way to get DVD into Front Row?

    I have a some non-copyrighted DVD's that I would like to get into Front Row without losing the image quality.
    Any suggestions?

    I just found a used hi8 camcorder locally with a dv connection so would I be better off
    1)transferring 8mm cassettes into imovie as dv
    or
    2) transferring 8 mm cassettes to my standalone dvd recorder and then ripping them on mac, i have done this with one and takes about 2 hours to rip and encode however when dragging the mov file after dvd conversion into imovie I am getting a reading that it will take up to a day to import into imovie.
    I know doing dv to mac is easier then #2 but this will cost me money since I would have to buy this 8mm recorder with a dv connection, will there be a difference of quality.
    My goal in the end is to have these 15 home movies that are on 8mm tapes on an ext hd edited and as big as possible or good as possible in quality, then I would probably do more serious edits to them and save as smaller files for viewing either via front row or maybe even burning to dvds.

  • Front Row with iPhoto '08

    Hello everyone, I recently purchased a Macbook and am trying to figure out how to use all the iLife features. One quirk I have ran into into with Front Row is the fact I can't get it to sync with my music playlist I set in iPhoto. If I play the slideshow using iPhoto, the music playlist plays just fine, but as soon as I get to Front Row, my music does not play. If I put a single song though, it works :S
    I have tried googling everything and cannot figure out what to do
    Currently I have my music running off of my Windows XP Partition (NTFS), so I can't change the ID tags as someone else suggested.
    Thanks all
    (Btw im loving OSX lol)

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    There is currently another active topic about this exact subject going on here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1561425
    It doesn't work for me either right now. I think we're going to have to wait for an iTunes/iPhoto/QuickTime/Front Row or Mac OS X update.

  • No pictures load on Front Row

    I can do everything with Front Row, except access my pictures on iPhoto. Any ideas?

    Thanks, I will take a look at your thread. An update in my case: iPhoto wouldn't load at all. The error I got was something about a problem with permissions. I tried to rebuild the directory / repair permissions with Disk Warrior, but after that, my MacBook's hard drive just died. It wouldn't even mount, so there was no way I could try to repair it. I had planned to do a fresh re-install, since I used the same 10.5 DVD to install to my iMac, and have had no problems with this photo issue. I will get a new MacBook hard drive, reinstall, and see if the permissions / dying hard drive was the issue. I'll let you know what I find out.

  • No Audio when playing DVD's backed up on mac through Front Row

    I have backed up my DVD library to an external hard drive and created an alias so that I can access them through front row. When I play them in the DVD player I have no problems, but when I play them in Front Row, I don't get any audio. Has anyone experienced this before?

    Unfortunately, it's against the Terms of Use to post about "ripping" DVDs. It may be legal in your location, but in the United States (where these forums are hosted) it's illegal so you can't post about it. My advice, would be to post your topic again, including the exact details about the files you've saved (what video format they are) but skip the part about them coming from DVDs... If you've saved some VIDEO_TS folders, this may be a little more complicated, but you could say they were your own DVDs from iDVD. This topic will probably be deleted since it violates the ToU.
