Different Playlists in Front ROW and iTunes

Hello
I am new in using Front Row and i have some trouble with it.
When i use the MUSIC playlists then they are not the same playlist as they are in the itunes 9.
For example i have a "BEST OF" playlist. In this playlists are only 5 Star rated songs (about 60 songs) and when i open Front Row than i have in this playlist totally different songs aditionally.
By the way, is there any possibility to check how many songs are in the playlists in FRONT ROW, so i can compare to itunes.
thx for help
Markus

No, you are not dumb. It apparently does not show in Front Row.
Ugh.. I am getting so frustrated with this. Surely someone at Apple wants to be able to play their music videos contiguously from within Front Row...???

Front row and itunes turning on when apple tv begins

Why does my computer itunes and front row always turn on my computer when I start watching my apple tv? They play two different things. I start watching the apple tv and then my computer will start blaring my itunes library or will start a movie using front row. How do I stop this from happening?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your remote is controlling both devices.
If you don't want to use a remote with your computer the easiest thing to do is just to turn the IR off. (System_Preferences/Security/General)
If you still want to use your computer remote then you must pair your computers remote with the computer AND the Apple TV remote with the Apple TV.
To pair a remote with a device hold down the menu and FF buttons together for six seconds or until you see a chain icon on screen (best take the computer into another room, or turn it off, when you do this)

Front Row and itunes problem

Just got my new Macbook Pro and migrated my stuff over from my Powermac Quad G5. Problem when I try to run itunes from Front Row saying that my library is empty and no songs could be found. I have re - set the music folder in i-tunes but that hasn't corrected it.....I have around 3000 songs in the library which work ok when I open from the itunes icon.
I photo works just fine, but also getting the server problems when trying to load movie trailers.

Same here. I just got my new MacBook Pro two weeks ago, and I tried to use Front Row this week, and it claims that my iTunes library is empty. However, I have 228 songs, and when I launch iTunes normally, it is fine. Front Row launches iPhoto, movie trailers, and DVDs just fine. Any ideas?
Thanks!

How can I stop my apple tv remote from affecting my laptop? It turns on Front Row and iTunes.

Every time I use the remote to my apple tv it interferes with my macbook and starts the Front Row application or change the volume or make iTunes start playing. Even if I am standing away from the laptop with my body between the lap top and the apple tv using the remote this happens. It drives me insane and makes me want to throw my laptop out the window. Truly, this is making me crazy.

Hi All,
I have a problem... my SETTINGS / SECURITY/ GENERAL tab does not have an option for IR?
I'm on a macbook pro 10.7.5
My options are:
A login password has been set for this user
Require password for sleep & Screensaver
Show a messsage when screen saver is locked
Disable Automatic Login (this is checked)
Allow application downloads from:
Mac App Store
mac App store & identified developers
Anywhere ( this is checked)
HELP! My remote just keeps playing itunes on my macbook pro when i'm trying to change the channels on Apple TV. Argh!
Any ideas?
Thank you!

10.6.2 Front Row and iTunes video still stutters

I thought this was going to be fixed. What's really odd is Quicktime X no longer stutters.....
Was the FR stuttering "fixed" for anyone?

Further Clarification
Front Row will not play my HD content. Plays the .mp4 content fine, in fact plays it better over my wireless network than iTunes does over wireless but iTunes will not play .mp4 content now (10.6.2) without stutter even when loaded on the MAC HDD.
I have not used Front Row before because I always used iTunes with iPod Touch as the remote so I don't know if this has always been a limitation with Front Row. Still prefer the iTunes method but the bulk of my content is .mp4 format.
I'll probably go back to 10.5 so don't upgrade to Snow Leopard if you have mixed iTunes movie/TV content.

Can't find "purchased" playlist in Front Row

After updating to iTunes 7 (and QT 7), I discovered that Apple has moved the "purchased" list of music to the "store" section. Therefore, I cannot access my "purchased" list from Front Row. Does anyone know how to fix this? My primary use for Front Row was to play my "purchased" playlist from a distance.
I thought about creating a playlist called "purchased" but that seemed messy since there would be two of them in the sidebar. I also considered reconfiguring Front Row, but don't know how to do that.
Can anyone tell me how to access my "purchased" playlist from Front Row?

Although I appreciate the empathy, I think we're having different problems. I have no problem playing the songs I've purchased from iTunes, but Front Row doesn't allow me to select the "Purchased" playlist. I can do this in iTunes, but not in Front Row.
I don't NEED to be able to do this because I can browse my purchased songs in other menus, such as "Library" or "Recently Added." But, I really like browsing my purchased songs separately from my other songs.
Before upgrading to iTunes 7, Front Row allowed me to do this, but not after the upgrade. Now, iTunes has removed "Purchased" music from the Playlist menu, and placed it next to the iTunes Store.
Is there a way to reconfigure Front Row so that "Purchased" is included as one of the song menus I can browse?

ISight, Front Row and Apple remote problems

I've been using my iMac G5 with the built in iSight for a month now with no problems, however a few days ago I tried to pause iTunes with the remote and nothing happend.
I have since tried to use Front Row and cannot launch it with the keyboard shortcuts, or indeed, find it anywhere on my hard drive. Very strange as I have certainly not deleted it and only updated it to 1.01 recently.
I have also tried to use my iSight to test the remote using an Apple help sheet but when I launch iChat AV it tells me I have no camera installed! I know it did work as I took a photo of myself when I first set the Mac up.
Apple's advice on deselcting the 'Disable remote control infrared receiver' checkbox in 'system preferences>scurity' confuses me further as I cannot find this checkbox anywhere.
I have performed all the updates with Software Updat, repaired permissions and checked the disk with no problems found.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance. Jon

Front Row will be included with the next version of Mac OS X to come out next year, version 10.5 (Leopard). Until it's released, there is no legal way for you to use Front Row. Also, until it's released, we won't know what hardware will work with it (as far as remote controls). If history is any indication, it will be a $129 upgrade for your current Mac mini.
There are a couple of options for you right now, though. There's a shareware program called Media Central that will work similar to Front Row for you.

Quiting front row and continue to play music

It used to be that front row would continue to play music after you quit it from the same playlist but this isn't the case anymore. If you are using FR to listen to music and quit the music stops playing. Anyone know how to have the music continue to play?

Well as much as I like the look of the new Front Row, I don't like the same thing, That it stops playing music upon closing. The older one (Tiger) was so much better Animation and usefulness wise. It also supported Air-Tunes (my best friend). So I thought to myself, "is there any way i can switch back to Front Row from Tiger (A.K.A. Front Row w/ Air Tunes)". I went on a hunt on the internet and I came across this web site
http://www.edalytical.com/articles/2008/01/16/front-row-and-airtunes-back-to-tig er-for-me
When typing the code into the terminal field, you can just copy and past for safety if need be.
Just rememeber to exorcize caution whenever using terminal, for it can really do damage.
And one more thing, I've realized that when going to the video/movies section it likes to freeze (though it always has for me for some reason when I was running Tiger). DVD Function works perfectly.
Hope that helps!

Reinstalling Front Row and Photo Booth?

Hi,
I had a hard drive failure a couple of months ago on my 20" G5 iMac. The Apple store replaced it in a day and reinstalled the OS. Thanks. Only after I had my entire computer set back up with all my apps, music, movies, etc., I realized that Front Row, and Photo Booth were not installed. How can I get them back on my machine without reinstalling the OS again? I tried Pacifier, but I don't know all of the different files and packages needed to intsall those two apps. Anyone know of a different solution?
Thanks

Hey there ... Go search for a program called Pacifist. Its a shareware but it will let you do the job. I used it before to Install Mail which I accidently trashed it. It should absolutely work for Front Row too. Hope this will solve your problem. Sawadee Krub

TS1382 I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

You can sync those different playlists to the iPod, and the song appears on each playlist. However, the song is stored on the iPod once. What is the practical reason for wanting to store the same song file multiple times (and waste storage space) on the iPod?

Front Row and an external hard drive?

I would like to be able to access files--pictures and movies--using Front Row and the remote, but would like to access these files from an external hard drive. Is this possible to set up/do? Thanks for the help!

Jack,
Create an alias to any folder on your MBP and you can then modify it to point at a folder on your read-only drive. Just open the Get Info window on the alias and Select New Original from the General section. It might not refresh to look as if it's changed the path, but it has. Close the Get Info window and re-open it to see that it's changed. Rename the alias to something more appropriate and move it to the Movies folder of your MBP. Front Row will display the folder in the Movies section of Videos.

Do you have these iTunes playlists in Front Row?: Applications, Library ?

My Front Row has some bugs, I think.
Inside Music->Playlists, the following are listed but do not show their contents:
Applications
Library
TV Shows
But Applications shouldn't be there and TV shows already shows up in the main front row menu.
As for Library, this is my entire iTunes library. does anyone have this issue:?

I just got my intel mac today and I have the same problem. I do not know how to solve it.

Will can replace Front Row and play podcast from itunes?

One thing I did with Front Row pre-Lion that I can't do with Lion is watch video podcasts on my MacMini connected to my SDTV (no HDMI). Plex doesn't seem to have any connection to iTunes. Is there any Front Row replacement that will let me watch my video podcasts?

new2appletv, I think you missed roestuff's point. They were wanting to BUY a HD movie -- not copy it.
It's frustrating that we can live in a complete HD environment with a Mac Mini, UNTIL we start downloading from iTunes. The alternative to downloading from iTunes, is to buy the DVD or Blu-Ray, both of which are no less "copyable", than the output from the Mac Mini. As all movie/music pirates have shown over the years -- where there's a will, there's a way.
I share the frustration. I have an XServe, a Mac Pro & 3 Mini's running a home theater & TV network around my house. I can happily watch, AND RECORD, HD content from TV stations. I'm not into pirating -- it is all for my own use. Because of alleged "abuse" by some users, I can only expand to 1 further Mac on my network due to the 5 machine limit imposed by iTunes. My frustration is that the content doesn't even leave my house (except for when it is on my iPhone).
Apple need to learn to negotiate better, particularly if they want to be at the centre of a digital world. I can buy a Tivo for the same price as a Mac Mini, and a Tivo doesn't have all of the restrictions placed on it that the Macs do. I feel sometimes that Apple try to prove that they are the Volvo drivers of an online world -- but uncertain what they are trying to achieve.
