Front Row default Photo folder

I use iphoto on my Mac.
I have noticed that when I watch my photos in Front Row, many of the photos that I previously deleted are still shown in Front Row.
Does anyone know where / which folder Front Row gets the photos from?
Thanks
Keith

Hi

what about streaming in quick time ?

VLC is the proposed software by my FAI ! but thanks anyway !

  • Front Row Shared Photos unusably slow!

    I have about 36,000 photos in iPhoto. When I share the library, and open it under Front Row, Shared Photos, it is just unusably slow! I have to wait about 5 minutes for the list to come up, even if I opened Front Row on the same machine as the iPhoto library. While this is happening, iPhoto is beach balled, and never becomes usable again, so I have to Force Quit it every time.
    Any suggestions? I've already tried trashing the preferences file.

    Follow iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library and use the bottom 3 repair options.
    It might also be helpful to remove Home > Library > Caches to the trash and restarting the computer.

    Do you have a backup?

  • 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

  • Start up front row in specific folder?

    Tried to search around the forum, but couldn't find anything.
    Is there any way to make front row in a certain folder? Like Videos / Television / CSI...

    Thanks Matt, guessed that this was the problem but it is good to have a second opinion, fortunately yes I have time machine running so I have everything i need backed up. Thinking about it I am more upset at the fact the drive has failed after only 19 months. Having got three years minimum out of all my previous machines am disappointed that the Mac has gone so quick. Never mind at least I have all my files.
    Cheers

  • Have Front Row Default To Another Source Instead Of Home iTunes

    Hey All,
    Curious if anyone knows of a script or app that allows me to force Front Row to default to a specific source upon loading?
    I have all my movies and tv shows setup on my main system in my bedroom and everytime I load front row, I have to scroll down and choose the source I want.
    I know there are tons of little apps out there for such things like this (like TV Row chooses which monitor to send Front Row to instead of your main monitor), so I would hope someone knows of one. I have been searching on the net for the past week, but usually I just get links to media center apps that have the keyword Source in them.
    Thanks!
    Tim

    I have the exact same problem.
    I think that the problem is related to a read/write permissions / "file in use" type of problem that is specifc to network drives in some way.
    I have two computers, and my iTunes library is stored on a usb-harddrive connected to a Airport Extreme wireless router.
    When I have opened iTunes on computer1, and try to start iTunes on computer2 it says that the Itunes library is locked.
    I guess the same thing is happening when FrontRow tries to connect to the iTunes library, while iTunes is open.

  • Events do not appear in Front Row / Shared Photos

    Events do not appear when launching Photos in Front Row, only Recent Viewed, Last Import, Web Galleries and Albums.
    Doesn't it kind of defeats the purpose to have Events, which was implemented to make organizing easier and eradicate the large number of albums we usually had?

    Yes, I think the Event implementation is lacking in a few areas. On the positive side, I noticed that iMovie and iDVD '08 allow you to browse Events and add them as slideshows.
    Now all we need is for Apple to update FrontRow to support Events, and also update iTunes/iPod so that we can view our events on the iPod.
    Although Events is a re-hashed "Film Rolls" feature, I believe that many people would be happy to group photos by Events, using Albums only rarely. If we can get full support for Events in other apps, then it would be great!

  • Using Aperture with photos in default Photo Folder in OS X (Newbie)

    Hey guys...
    I'm a new Aperture user (1 day) and fairly new to Mac's (5 months). I have a MB Pro with newest OS. Since getting the MBook I've been placing/storing all my photos in /Users/"lastname"/Pictures and then giving each photo "event" a new folder. I first started using iPhoto as an organizer and was not happy with using it. I had used Picasa on my windows machine and it took a few weeks to realize that there was a Mac version for Picasa. It was probably my own fault, but I couldn't figure out how to point iPhoto to my Photos Folder/Directory (maybe its old Windows habits)??? Because of this I installed Picasa and enjoy the easy croping/red eye/face recognition.
    HOWEVER!, I wanted to move on to a real photo editor and got Aperture. Now to my question,,,lol
    If I "import" all my photos that are currently in a folder/directory order, will Aperture create a duplicate library? And if so, do I bite-the-bullet and use Aperture as my one and only photo organizer, verse my old school ways of organizing photo folders on the hard drive and then going to the folders view via Finder to get a photo??
    While writing this I referred to my photo Folder and noticed a iPhoto "library" ...when I click on it, it opens iPhoto and I see photos that I imported these few days I used iPhoto before Picasa. I guess maybe it means I need to get in habit of using the "library" when I want to search out photo for something (emailing, uploading to FB, etc)
    What should I do? Tips?
    Thanks guys!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    and don’t understand why Aperture don’t keep my folders in sync. So if I delete / add a photo to a folder, it does not update the folder in Aperture, as what you would get in Picasa.
    Well the very obvious point is that it's not Picasa and doesn't work like that. Picasa is an attempt to use two databases (the Finder and Picasa) to manage the photos. Aperture simply uses one - the Aperture database. If that's not what you want then don't use it.
    If I keep with Picasa, what’s the real benefit of using Aperture?
    If you cannot see the opportunities that the Aperture offers for organising, and managing your Photos - including most obviously the tight integration with the OS, so that your photos are in every Open... dialogue on your Mac - and if you cannot see the far, far greater opportunities for post processing your Photos offered in Aperture compared to Picasa, then there is no benefit for you.
    If, on the other hand, instead of trying to shoehorn Aperture into your Picasa workflow, you take a few moments to learn how to use it - say by looking at the Aperture tutorials on the Apple site - I think you'll find it's a much more powerful and capable application than your current choice.

  • Front row default song order

    Hi,
    my mac mini is connected to my TV anf this is really great !
    But (yes there s a but !) there s 2 things i don't understand :
    - when front row create its playlist in itunes, the order is by song id, so if i want to listen all albums of an artist, the order is : album 1 song 1, album 2 song 1, album 1 song 2, album 2 song 2 ... that s really a pitty, it should be better (in my opinion) if it was sorted by album ! is there a way to change that ?
    - i've got a freebox (french provider FREE) that provides TV by rtsp, the stream is mpeg2 TS, and there's no way to play it in quick time (even with mpeg2 component i buy) so it is not possible to play the streams in front row ! is there a tips for that ?
    thanks in advance for your answer

  • Default photo folder question....

    Is there a way to set the default folder to be my remote storage, so i do not have to load all my pictures onto my hard drive? OR do I have to load them on an as needed basis then delte them to restore the space?

    You can as Neil described but it is important that the "remote storage" be directly connected to your system (wired ethernet, firewire, usb or other wired connection) AND that is is formated Mac OS extended (journaled) - the iPhoto library does not operate well on non Mac formatted drives

  • Default photo folder

    Is there a way to change where the phone puts photos after u take them. I'm trying to use an app called photosync which only uploads photos from E:/images but the phone stores new photos in E:/DCIM/100NOKIA (very annoying)
    I'm using a Nokia C7 with Belle.

  • Front Row: background music is gone while viewing Photos

    Hi,
    I was trying to change background music about 2 weeks ago and felt succeeded in it. Since then Front Row with Photos was not used. Unfortunately today I figured out that music does not play anymore. Even selecting another music folder in iPhoto for event does not help:
    +It works in iPhoto once Play button is clicked but does not produce desired effect in Front Row for the same Photos.+
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Todv, that's the problem . I don't really remember how did that before. Honestly this is my first month of experience working with OS X.
    Initially my MBP was delivered with everything preinstalled. Front Row worked fine with Added photos. I didn't even create any Slideshows. Unfortunately only one specific track was played all the time what drove me crazy. Then somehow I changed the song (don't even remember how exactly). It worked. Didn't use Front Row for about 2 weeks and recently decided to watch photos with my girlfriend but... music stopped playing.

  • How can I use apple remote with Mountain Lion? Any Front Row alternative?

    Hi All,
    I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    All great except for my Apple Remote control.
    Before, I could effectively control my iMac media with Apple Remote by using Front Row (music, photos, videos, good integration with iTunes and iPhoto).
    Now, as I understand, Front Row is expired.
    So, my Apple remote still works but with very limited options (just music, forward, backward and volume), and it's a real pity.
    Any of you Guys know how to restore Front Row?
    Otherwise maybe suggest an alternative (sth similar, should allow iMac media control by Apple Remote)?
    So far I tried to restore all Front Row files by a Time Capsule Snow Leopard backup (as indicatred on some other Communities).
    To restore was easy, but then, no way to launch it.
    Any advice will help!
    Thanks in advance/all the best.
    Marco

    Thanks Klaus1 for your prompt answer, although I went again through a dated discussion.
    I also got the feeling that somehow they want to push Apple TV..
    But, respectfully speaking towards our Friends at Apple, is it fair to promise what you don't deliver?
    I have choosen apple because I percive it's different.
    At currently published link: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC377Z/A/apple-remote
    they do promote the following:
    Apple Remote with Mac
    The Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It works with Front Row - a menu-based, full-screen interface - to make accessing the digital content on your Mac as simple as navigating your iPod. When you press the Menu button, your desktop fades and the sleek, Front Row interface takes its place, to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Videos folder and your DVDs. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slide show, a home video that you made in iMovie, even a film trailer.
    Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. Not compatible with MacBook Pro with Retina display.
    Cost for this is 15£ (19€).
    Now, I have iMac and Mac Book Pro (no retina display) both with Mountain Lion installed, and I understand both of them are not compatible with Front Row.
    Actually I adore apple tv and I got 2 at home nicely working on 2 different TVs.
    So I accomplished twice their wish of selling this product to me.
    Why shall they deceive me (and many others, as I read) by killing a still promised service?
    Should I read all forums before buying a trusted-brand-product like apple, to ensure that id does what declared?
    Don't get me wrong, I'm an enthusiast user of the whole apple family, since many years, and still I am.
    Just politely complaining for this decision, which creates to Many an easy avoidable disservice.
    Cheers

  • Front Row on 2nd Gen iMac G5

    Does anyone know whether it will be possible to run Front Row on a 2nd Gen iMac G5 using an Apple Remote?
    Hos does the Apple Remote work? If it's a Bluetooth device, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work?
    Unless 'Front Row' is a 'hard-wired' ROM application?
    I like the look but I bought a 2G recently, which I think is the nuts...to be honest the built in i-Sight is of little interest to me...makes me think of internet cafes...and it's going to make the London Store even more of a foreign exchange student hangout.

    It says front row and photo booth are included in the software bundled with the iMac. " More software
    In addition, the iMac G5 comes with an incredible bundle of software:
    • iLife ’05, which includes the latest versions of iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD and GarageBand
    • Front Row
    • Photo Booth
    • iWork ‘05 30-day trial
    • AppleWorks
    • Quicken 2006 for Mac
    • 2006 World Book
    • Nanosaur 2
    • Marble Blast Gold
    • Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive "
    I dont see why apple wont make that available for purchase for those of us who just bought that last rev Imac in May.

  • Places is not shown in front row

    when I go to front row,it shows that there is no photo in this album, while I have photos linked to google maps in iPhoto!
    where is the bug?

    I don't even see "Places" anywhere inside Front Row's "Photos" module. Which version of Mac OS X, Front Row, QuickTime and iPhoto are you using?

  • IPhoto Slideshow music settings/Front Row

    I recently purchase a Mac Mini to use as a media center PC. I have imported photo's into iPhoto and configured slide shows with appropriate music ... in iPhoto all these settings work fine. When I access these photo's via Front Row
    however, each of the slide shows plays with Minuet in G and my iPhoto music settings are ignored. any thoughts would be most welcome on how to have my iPhoto slide show music recognized with Front Row.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Well I may have found my answer ... If I run slideshows in Front Row from
    Photos/Events I have the Minuet in G problem ... if I create albums in iPhoto and run the Event from within an album, the music selected in this album slideshow holds in Front Row ... at any rate it works for me!
