Front Row 2.0; no music during slideshow?

Would I be right in thinking that Front Row 2.0 has removed the option of playing iTunes Music whilst viewing an iPhoto slide show?

So I just have the same problem? Is thier anyone who has emailed Apple to see if they know how to fix this?
I play a slideshow in iPhoto and all the iTunes that I have CHECKED and are in that playlist will play.
However - in Front Row the same slide show that I created in iPhoto will not play any music. For some reason it used to play only ONE of the songs - which was the 1st song in the play list - and then it would repeat it. So me being me.. stubborn..I kept trying to get it to play all the songs in the playlist (by friggin with iTunes setting and iPhoto settings) and NOW I have no music what-so-ever, not even the sample music.
Any one have any ideas? This really bugs me, and yep - I know that I can simply play the show in iPhoto - but man it is nice to use that remote and have things simply work..
Anyone?
Thanks!

  • Can't save "Play music during slideshow" setting in iPhoto 6

    Hi,
    I just bought and installed iPhoto 6 today as an upgrade to iPhoto 4. I've discovered that I'm unable to save the "Play music during slideshow" setting in the dialog which appears when I click the "Play" button from the thumbnail screen to play a slideshow. If I uncheck this checkbox and then click on the "Save Settings" button, the next time I play a slideshow, the music starts up again. The most particularly annoying thing about this problem is that I'm trying to create a slideshow that plays no music, and I have to continually uncheck the "Play music during slideshow" checkbox each time I play the slideshow. Has anyone else run into this problem, and is there a solution or workaround for it?
    Thanks,
    Ken

    Hi,
    I think I've figured out what's going on here, but I don't know how to fix it. While I was playing around with the items in the "Play" dialog that appears when you initiate a slideshow, I discovered that if I uncheck the "Play music during slideshow" and then change the selection in the tree of folders underneath the checkbox, that the checkbox becomes selected. This would normally be the considerate thing to do, since if the user were making a selection in that tree, it would be rather "rude" in a software sense to not check the checkbox automatically. Unfortunately, in this case, the logic doesn't seem to be looking at the Preferences flag which (correctly, I think) is remembering that I don't want music to be played. So what I think is happening is when this dialog is first instantiated, the checkbox setting is remembered correctly. However, what happens next is that the saved selection in the folder tree is then restored, which then triggers the "a tree selection was just made, so let's check the checkbox" event. This is why if you've saved the "don't play music" setting, the checkbox is initially cleared, and then when the tree selection is set, the checkbox becomes checked. If I save the settings with the checkbox checked, the checkbox is set from the instant the dialog appears. So assuming that this is what's happening, is it possible to fix this by editing the NIB file using the Developer Tools? Or is this logic embedded in the compiled code?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • 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.

  • Front Row doesn't play music!!!

    I don't know what's going on with my Front Row, but my music and podcasts will not play on Front Row! It's weird: my movies play, my photos from iPhoto can do slideshows. It just doesn't play music. It always says: "Front Row cannot find any songs. Use iTunes to import songs or purchase songs from the iTunes Store." I just updated my iTunes, Quicktime, and all the other computer updates. Still no luck....

    Yes, there are only three or four settings stored in there. The last module selected when you closed Front Row (Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, DVD, Photos, or Movies), the country your iTunes is set for (so Front Row can show the "top rated" items from the store) and whether or not you've turned on sound effects and/or the Front Row screen saver. No other preferences are stored there. All of the media-specific preferences are store in the application that controls that media (the DVD Player.app for the DVD settings, iTunes for the Music settings and iPhoto for the Photos settings).

  • Front Row glitching when playing music

    I don't know which version of Leopard it was when this started, but I really noticed it after the 10.5.2 update. Basically, as the title indicates, Front Row is glitching, and locking my computer up while playing music. I often hook my laptop up to my TV and surround system (sometimes just the surround system) as a way to listen to music, as the laptops speakers just don't cut it when trying to enjoy music. After hooking it up to the sound system via the headphone out jack, I start Front Row with the remote, and click on music -> shuffle songs and let it do its thing. For a while -- maybe 30 minutes -- it works fine, album artwork showing up and doing its thing, but after a short time, all I see is the song's progress bar, frozen and the album artwork missing; however, the music can still be heard. Once this happens, I can't do anything at all. Trying to quit FR doesn't work, any key-presses go un-recognized and the only way to get out is to hold the power button until the computer shuts off.
    This is really annoying because I use FR instead of iTunes when hooked up this way, simply because I need a nice big interface for when I'm at the other end of the room. To have the application freeze like this is just a pain in the butt.
    My question is this, is it a known or common issue to have? If so, I guess I'll just have to wait till a fix comes out, but if not, does anybody know what the problem is, and how I can stop this from happening?

    Ok, now I am on FR 1.3.1 and all crashes are gone! If you do this (see thread in this forum) be careful with the Software Update feature, it detects the old version and offers FR 2.x every time ...

  • Front Row cant find my music

    Hi,
    Im pretty new when it comes to Mac. Ive added all my music and downloaded some from IStore, but Front Row says that it cant find the music and that I need to either import it or buy it from Istore. But Ive done this and still it doesnt work.
    what can I do?
    /Henrik

    I too have found this. My sharing was already on. However, my issue relates to Audiobooks specifically. I get them from Audible.co.uk. I have a specific library for audiobooks and keep music in the standard iTunes folder and use the Alt key to choose the library when starting.
    In the audiobooks library I have set up playlists for different genres. This works in iTunes and on the iPod I use for the books, but not in Frontrow. In FR all my non protected books appear but the protected do not unless I go to the specific Audiobooks folder. They all appear and work fine, but that means I have to know who wrote the book in order to find the book I want. In a substantial library this is long winded. It would be better if I could just choose a custom playlist.
    Any ideas?

  • Front Row no movie or music covers

    I am using a mac mini in the bed room that I use to see movies that are being shared from the computer in my office. That computer is also being used to stream over to apple tv which works grate with no problems. Does any one know how I can get my mac mini to show all the movie and music covers. I can see them perfect on my apple tv but not on my mac mini. I don't even know if this is possible but if it is I would really like for it to work. I can stream movies to the mac mini perfect so there is no problems there. Does some one have any suggestions

    you have to load them into iTunes to attach a cover to the file. Once they are in iTunes they will be automaticly displayed on front row with the cover.
    this is a pain though, as front row will open a lot more file types than iTunes, so for the file types that iTunes cannot open, you will be stuck with no cover.

  • Just upgraded to OSx Maverics and Iphoto 9.5 - no music during slideshow ?

    Just upgraded to OSx Maverics and Iphoto 9.5 and now have no music when playing slideshows (using custom or default). All libraries worked fine before upgrade (using Lion). Any ideas?

    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.
    Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

  • Can't turn off music during slideshow

    I have been using iPhoto for years and like it, usually.
    Lately I have had trouble with the Slideshow settings (iPhoto '11, version 9.2.1, running in OS 10.7.5 on a MacBook Pro).
    Basically, whatever I set (time per slide, music on or off), after clicking "Play"  the slideshow defaults to 3.0 sec per slide and music set to On.
    I must be missing something somewhere.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Updated iPhoto; still the same problem.
    Next I restarted, deleted the iPhoto plist from my hidden Library, and restarted.
    Now, iPhoto won't recognize my library; although, it is willing to import all the photos (presumably without the albums, metadata etc.).
    I put the plist back into the Library and restarted, and it still doesn't recognize its old familiar library.

  • Tinny-sounding music during slideshow playback on TV

    I have created slide shows with special effects and music.  The shows play back perfectly on my imac, laptop, and ipad.  However, when I attempt to play the shows on my TV, some of the music sounds very tinny.  What causes this, and how can I remedy the problem?

    If you want the visualizer to play druing the music just trun it on... be sure to set the tv screen up as the screen to use for iTunes.

  • Front Row Slideshow Music Problem

    Hello:
    I have been unable to change the Photo Slideshow music in Front Row. I go into iPhoto, select SlideShow and select my music, but it does not seem to save it to Front Row. I've even tried making my selections as "default" but it doesn't work.
    I've tried repairing permissions on my disk, and there do seem to be problems with Front Row. However, no matter how many times I repair, the permissions still persist. Log file below
    Can anyone offer any tips to a newbie (recently switched from a PC.)
    Thanks,

    Thanks; that's a relief, though the permissions that are referenced in the thread you pointed out (that can be safely ignored) seem to me mostly related to iPhoto Access and not Front Row (I seem to have both Front Row and iPhoto permission problems.)
    So, can anyone offer any suggestions on how to change my music in Front Row's Slide Show?

  • Tonnes of Music with Front Row

    hey everybody. I was wondering if anyone knew how to solve my small issue with front row. since i only have a 40GB iPod, I have to de-select much of my library, picking and choosing which albums make the cut while im on the go. Im almost up to 80 GB of music in my iTunes library -- The problem Im having is that when you de-select a song in iTunes, it does not show up in Front Row. Since my music collection is growing and growing, I'd like to find a way where I can still enjoy all of my music while using Front Row even if it's not destined to be uploaded to my iPod.
    Thanks!

    Perhaps you should change the way you sync your iPod? You could create a playlist that gets synchronized to the iPod. Then you wouldn't have to use the check box to select items to sync.

  • Front Row in the MacBook Pro

    Hey
    Is the version of Front Row shipped in Macbook Pro the same as the one in the new Intel MacMini? The Front row description in the apple site http://www.apple.com/macmini/frontrow.html talks about "Let Mac mini and Front Row entertain you by playing songs, slideshows, and videos from other computers in the house"
    The reason i am asking is becoz i want to know if one can use the FrontRow In the MacBook Pro to see my Photos, Music, videos that is stored in my PPC MacMini instead of porting the whole collection from the Macmini to the Macbook Pro?

    I don't have my MBP yet but from what I gathered the versions are the same and include Bonjour that allows you to share media and files from one OS X machine to another without actually have to copy the files from one computer to another. It should 'just work' as Apple says.

  • Front Row settings?

    Is there a way to change the settings for Front Row, such as the way pictures fade and the music that is played in the background?
    Thanks

    Hi SRXguy
    Front Row will play your iPhoto Library, Slideshows, etc. the way that they are setup in iPhoto, so you'll need to make the music and fade selections in iPhoto.

  • 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?
