Does Front Row work with PowerPC G4?

Does Front Row work with PowerPC G4? Where can I get it?

There are ways, but it has limited ablities since you don't have the IR based remote needed. There is a "hack" of sorts which tricks front row to install on other Macs. I have it on my Power Mac G4 and my ibook as well. Just do a google search.
There is nothing illegal about the hack since you download the free update from the apple website. All the hack does it make the installer think you have a iMac or Macbook Pro.

Does Front Row work with Airport Express?

I"m a bit confused by the new Front Row feature of the iMac G5. I'd be happy with EITHER my TV, with a signal from my Mac via Airport Express (with video output to the TV) to watch videos, control itunes etc.
Or, I'd perhaps consider having the iMac G5 in the living room, to watch TV, videos, DVD's, control iTunes.
However, it seems this solution doesn't do everything. You still need your iMac, and you need your TV. What's the point of integration if it doesn't integrate?
Having a TV and an iMac sitting side by side seems a bit pointless.

According to Business Week: "Airport Express can already be used to stream music from a Mac or a PC's iTunes playlist to home stereos. And Apple launched its current flagship Wi-Fi router, the Airport Extreme, months ahead of the official industry ratification of the 802.11g standard. It might do something similar with a new Airport lineup before the 802.11n standard is ratified."

Does front row work

does front row work with mountain lion

No, it is incompatible and has been withdrawn by Apple.
If you read the other 150 threads on the subject in this forum you may find a workaround.

Where does Front Row get its list of Videos?

Where does Front Row get its list of Videos? And how do I purge this list? Front Row is listing Videos that no longer exist on my computer and when selected do nothing.
I tried by trashing my prefs, but the same missing files are still in the list.

ok, worked on it a little bit more... the only thing left was an entry in the library file, when you opened the xml file in safari you could find the entry. I didn't dare playing around with the file itself, but found a script called: "super remove dead tracks" on this website, which does the trick: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/scripts01.php?page=1#removedeadsuper
it worked great, nothing is showing up in front row any.

Front Row problems with NAS drive (2 of them)

OK... having 2 problems with Front Row...
Background
First, I should say I'm new to Mac OS X, had early Macs, but went PC a long time ago.
I burned all of my music from CDs (I own) on my WinXP box, then copied them over to a NAS drive for easy access between computers.
The NAS is an Infrant ReadyNAS. The drive is shared on my network. The keychain app has the password information to the share. Though I should note, it doesn't matter if I remove the password from the share.
The ReadyNAS has a nice feature whereas it will act as an iTunes server, this is enabled. I do not have AFP or NFS enabled on the NAS since I regularly access the drive on WinXP machines. All access is SMB/CIFS.
I mounted the drive and created a link between the iTunes home folder and the network share. Thus, iTunes automatically mounts the share when started and seems to be comfortable that the files are accessible.
Everything works fine in iTunes.
Not so in Front Row.
Problem #1
Front Row will not read the "Shared Music." When I go this route in Front Row, it finds the NAS iTunes Music Server, but insists on being given a password to access the "Share." Of course, you can't enter a password.
Again, everything works just fine in iTunes. It shows the server fine under "Shared," and immediately brings up all music and plays it readily.
Just doesn't work in Front Row.
Problem #2
Front Row stopped auto-mounting the NAS share which is linked to the iTunes music folder. iTunes will mount it, if it is not mounted already when it first is asked to play a song. Up until this morning, Front Row would automount it too. This AM, after getting the Apple security update, Front Row would not automount the share. Note, if I automount the share manually, or go to iTunes (which properly automounts) before launching Front Row everything works fine from Front Row.
It took me a second to figure this out, as Front Row's terribly missleading error message is, you are not authorized to play this song - authorize it (well, that is the point of the wordy message). Of course, this confused me, since these are not iTunes store songs and of course, this worked fine yesterday.
Anyway, what is really happening, (I surmise) is it is not automounting the share and cannot read the song, and seemingly defaulted to the assumption it is a DRM problem.
I have to say, this is one out of the old Microsoft handbook. Missleading error messages and broken functionality from (it would seem) rushed out security updates.
I'm gonna have to tip my hat... some of those Microsoft developers that made the move from Redmond to Cupertino brought their game with them!
LOL
Anyway... anyone that can offer a hand would make my wife very happy. She likes Front Row... and now she has to start iTunes to make Front Row work. Sheesh.
Thanks in advance for the help.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) Nah

Hi,
same thing here: I have 3 LCD-screens (30,26,20 Apple Displays) on two graphic-cards (ATI X1900XT, NVDIA7300GT). Front Row does not display any pictures or movies. Menus work like they should, Music also plays fine, but images are not shown. It only shows a white screen on the main screen (30") and the other two are dimmed to black. If i type ESC i get back to the menus...
Any hint? Regards - Peter

Why does front row not have simple organization?

I currently have a hard drive hooked into my macmini which is hooked up to my TV. On my hard drive I have over 1000 movies, all purchased through iTunes. However when I use front row and i goto the movie section, I have to scroll through every movie to get to the one I want. There's no way to scroll by letter, only one by one. This is horrible and takes forever. Can apple do an update that makes the right button on the apple remote for scrolling letter by letter. For example, you click the right button to goto movies starting with B, C, D, E, F, etc. Then the down button for one by one scrolling. Also, why does front row not have genres? AppleTV does. Why not incorporate that into front row? Think, Apple, Think.

You can have sub-folders in the Movies folder and arrange your movies alphabetically that way.
But if you want to alert Apple to your idea, then use this link:

Front Row is included with Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) for all Macs.

Does compressor 4 work with final cut pro 7?

does compressor 4 work with final cut pro 7?

Russ H wrote:
WHile I'm not 100% certain (this has come up before and It's not convenient to test), I believe that purchasing Compressor will also allow you add additional codecs to your QT library.
Russ
Yes, Compressor adds several codecs, which can also be used in FCE (decoding and encoding using QuickTime Conversion) and in QuickTime player. Most notably these are MPEG-2 and ProRes. The latter is an editing-friendly Intraframe-Codec useful for preprocessing stuff for importing clips to FCE, particularly if it has a different framerate from the FCE project.
I'm also still using FCE 3.5(*) and the "Export using Compressor" menu option remains grayed out, which is a pity, but the new codecs can still be used. I mostly use it to make stuff for DVDs, using my ancient and cumbersome iDVD.
(*) It really works on Lion, provided you have installed it on a previous Mac OS release and then migrated or upgraded to Lion: the installer is a PowerPC program, but the installed program is Universal and works fine and very stable. If you already have Lion, and no older (Snow) Leopard machine, it's going to be more of a challenge, since the Lion kernel no longer supports PowerPC binaries, so Rosetta won't work.

Does Windows 7 work with an Airport Extreme. Mine does not recognize it

Does Windows 7 work with an Airport Extreme. I can't get mine to connect with it? The package insert says it only works with XP or Vista

This should help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86258
Use system profiler to identify which iMac you have
exactly. If your iMac has USB 2.0, then I think you
can only fit Airport Extreme anyway.
I have a question too ... I'm about to fit an Airport
Extreme extreme card to my 15 inch USB 2.0 iMac too.
Is the aerial already built in? I presume one is
required in some form?
James--I'm afraid that your link doesn't help me. I'd already seen that, and found that my iMac seems to correspond to two different categories--being both a 17-inch flat panel, and a 17-inch 1GHz. According to Duane's post, iMacs with clock speeds of 1 GHz or greater take the Airport Extreme card. According to two different individuals at a local Apple Store, I got two answers. One said Extreme, the other said, nope, the old Airport. How do I determine the "for sure" answer? Anybody know?
FWIW, here's my sys profile info:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Model: iMac
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.5.8f1
Serial Number: QT3050UCNHX
Thanks any and all for help.

Does creative cloud work with windows 8

does creative clould work with windows 8?. I see windows 7 as a minimum requirement with no mention of windows 8

lewis0,
Welcome to Adobe Community .
Minimum requirements means that you have to have these as the minimum configuration to install the Adobe Products . You can surely go ahead and install the product on a windows 8 PC and it should work fine.

Does apple tv work with hdmi to VGA hd15 cable?

I have a Phillips tv and there is no hdmi to hdmi connection. But there is a VGA 15 input. Does apple tv work with it? I seem to be getting a black screen.

I tried hard. Four different manufacturers, including Belkin, none of HDMI to VGA works with rMBP. However, all of them work with other sources, like Dell notebook.
HDMI directly from rMBP to HDMI intput works fine.

Does apple tv work with ee router

does apple tv work with my ee smartbox router

Doubtful.
What allows for streaming content from an iPad to a television thru an Apple TV is Apple software included with iOS on the iPad and the Apple TV software. Unless there is a 3rd party android app that provides for this, no.

Does apple tv work with both N wireless bands

Does apple tv work with both wireless "N" bands

Yes, I have both the 1G and 2G ATVs working off a 5 GHz n only network. Since the 2.4 GHz band can be set up to be backwards compatible with b/g networks it will work here too.
I use an Apple Time Capsule to create a dual band network. Running my ATVs and Airport Expresses on the 5 GHz band improved streaming and AirPlay speaker reliability substantially in my location. I suspected interference from my neighbor's networks as well as other 2.4 GHz sources. I had to create the 2.4 GHz network for my 1G touch and an older laptop to work which don't need as reliable of a network connection.

Never heard of them, but the Apple TV requires a TV with an HDMI connection that supports 720p input and is widescreen.
