Front Row/computer not hooked up to internet?

Hello,
When I go into Front row, and then into trailers, I'm warned that I am not hooked up to the internet,please check network settings. I'm using Safari and mail while doing this and network diagnostic checks out just fine.
Any thoughts,
Raff

Playing iTunes downloaded music on 2nd computer not hooked up to Internet

I am aware that I can authorize a second computer to play my downloaded iTunes; however, what if the second computer is not going to be hooked up to the internet? Is there a way to authorize an additonal computer without the need for the computer to have internet access?

Sorry, no. Authorization requires that the computer be hooked up to the internet long enough to get it authorized.

The front row is not working. Remote control not triger,

Front row is not working, Remote control no response, command-esc not triger as well.
check keyboard shortcut from system preference, there is no front row.
anyone know why?

Ok first try it in another Account.
1. Open the account system pref window (System Preferences > Accounts)
2. Click the plus button at the bottom
3. Specify an account name (ex: test)
4. Add account
5. Logout of your current account, and login to the newly created one
If it works, then something was wrong with your account, move your files to the new account, and delete the old one.
If it did not work:
1. Try the reinstall again (DO NOT DO "ARCHIVE AND REINSTALL", as this may keep some file that is hindering FR from operating correctly
2. Make sure the FR file is in the Core Services Folder (Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app)
3. Make sure that you do not have the IR sensor turned off on your computer (System Prefs > Security > Uncheck "Disable Remote Control IR Sensor")
4. Make sure that your remote is paired (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302545)
5. Make sure that the Command + Esc key is setup to respond by opening front row:
(1) Open system prefs
(2) Open keyboard & mouse prefs
(3) Click keyboard shortcuts
(4) Scroll down until you see front row
(5) Assign the Command + Esc key if it is not mapped
6. Finally, if all else fails, call AppleCare while your computer is still under warranty
Hope this helps,
Cory

Using Firefox on Windows 7, if I leave Firefox running but the computer not connected to the internet (while I leave the computer for a while), Firefox reconnects to the internet. How do I stop this?

If I leave my computer unattended, with Firefox running but the computer not connected to the internet (using a modem), Firefox (or the pages displayed on it) will reconnect with the internet. I have not allowed auto-reconnection. So how do I stop this?

Front Row Movies When Hooked Up to Projector

Hello-
I hooked up my MBP to a projector to rehearse a presentation. Out of curiosity, I tried front row and went through the following...
-Photos: Worked Great
-Music: Worked Great
-Podcasts: Great
-Movies/Vid Podcasts: Sound, but NO video. I removed the cable and the video displayed on the screen, hooked up the cable again and it played through the projector.
Is this a known error? Thanks.

Front Row says no connection to the internet

Here's something strange: I wanted to look some trailers in Front Row this afternoon. But upon trying the app informed me that there's no connection to the internet despite the fact that I have a very good connection to the net. What can I do to resolve this issue.

After suffering from this problem and searching for solutions, I eventually fixed it myself.
The problem is frontrow wanting to communicate through en0, which after a few configuration changes en0 gets zapped. You are then left with an interface instance number which is my case was en15.
To get this back to en0
You need to open terminal
Become root or perform sudo commmands
cd /Library/Perferences/SystemConfiguration
Check you are in the right place by typing
pwd
The files that set the instance numbers can be renamed.
mv preferences.plist preferences.orig
mv NetworkInterfaces.plist NetworkInterfaces.plist.orig
mv com.apple.network.identification.plist com.apple.network.identification.plist.orig (this should be typed on one line)
If you are not fussy about keeping them you can just delete them. These files are recreated at boot up time.
reboot.
Configure your enternet connection or wireless connection.
Frontrow now connects to the internet.
If for some reason it fails, you can always copy your old files back if you just renamed them.
Enjoy your movie trailers etc.

Front Row Does Not Display Photos After Updating to iLife '11

I just updated to iLife '11 and now Front Row shows only a black screen when it should display photos photos in landscape mode. The background music plays and photos in portrait mode are displayed correctly, but the ones in landscape mode are not shown. Everything seems to be fine in iPhoto '11. What should I do to fix this issue? Thanks.

Same for me on my Mac Mini: I can see the shared pictures but can't see the ones in the local library. Funny thing is that I can see that library from my other Mac.
Also I noticed that one picture appeared in the middle of the (empty) slideshow, only 1 of 67. In the list view, those pictures appear normally, as you can see in this screenshot http://d.pr/eiXB
I'm a first-time iLife user, so I don't know if the issue is '11-specific.

Front Row 'Sources' not finding media server

Hi all!
I use my Mac Mini as a media server for my apple TV and all my computers/macs with iTunes.
Everything works fine apart from Front Row on my MacBook that only seems able to find my local machine under sources.
Any ideas?

You are not alone. I am experiencing the same problem.
We have consolidated all of our music and videos (much if it purchased via iTunes) onto a NAS media server. Our Macs have no problem seeing the server either from within iTunes or QuickTime Player. Yet, trying to find it using Front Row is impossible. There are no menu source options other than one's own mac or, alternatively, the iTunes Server mothership.
Either this is an oversight in the way Front Row was written, or more likely, it's some Draconian control issue decided in Cupertino.
For anyone who's acquired a lot of content (all legally, too, I might add) and stores it externally of his/her mac, this issue makes Front Row useless.

Front Row does not support Airtunes in Leopard

Can anyone tell me if I am just doing something wrong or if Leopard does not support airtunes in the new and improved Front Row?

I'm having the same problem, and it's a big one as one of the main uses for my Mac Mini is as a media centre controlling iTunes via the remote!
I think the root of the problem is that previously (on 10.4) Front Row launched and used iTunes in the background and so it respected whatever setting was current in iTunes.
It seems to now be using something else (maybe QuickLook) to play it - at least I haven't noticed the same delay when using Front Row when iTunes isn't launched...
This is something that needs to be rectified soon because one of the driving reasons for my upgrade was the 'new' AppleTV-like Front Row.
This upgrade has made my Airport Express useless and is tempting me to downgrade and ask for a refund - removing functionality is not a way to get new customers!

Front Row does not see my iPhoto library

Hello,
on Tiger, latest version iMac C2D 2,16, Front row 1.3.1 does not see my iPhoto 6.0.6 library. I trashed pref for Front Row, nothing better. Library is in Pictures.
It works Ok with others for music and video.
Does anyone of you have an idea?
Thank you very much,
Best regards,
François

Hello,
solved : you need to change some keywords. In fact it looks like I had a blank key word in iPhoto.

Can CS4 be used on a computer not connected to the internet?

Does anyone know if CS4 be activated on a computer which is not connected to the internet?
Thank you,
~Shawn

Yes, but you'll need to activate by phone. You'll also need to download all the patches with a different machine and manually apply them.

Front Row Update not updating?

I downloaded/installed latest update: 2.1.7. The problem is, when I check the version number in the Finder, FR shows up as 1.0! I've applied the update installer 3 times - still 1.0.
Info says- Created: Wednesday , Oct 10, 2007 Modified: Monday, Dec 15, 2008! So, did the update take or not???

Even though this is closed, this is for others who see this thread.
I like Douglas McLaughlin's explanation here: Re: Front Row 1.0 or 2.1.6?? which basically says the version in the Applications folder is just a Launcher for the real one in the System folder. It was needed so folks without a Remote could launch Front Row.
Thanks Doug.

Although iTunes works with XiphQT and hence ogg files, front Row will not

Hello,
front Row displays "front Row cannot play the current song" although the underlying QT infrastructure/iTunes plays ogg files just fine. Does anybody have a suggestion other than re-encoding them as mp3s?
Thanks.
PS. I have the the latest 10.5.2 updates installed through system update.

But the QuickTime player can indeed play ogg files just fine like iTunes. I have the latest version of XiphQT (http://xiph.org/quicktime/), which is installed under what seems to be the QT component directory. If you are still surprised, you could readily test this and get rid of this fairly self-contained component afterward, assuming you don't have tons of ogg files like me.
Thanks.
