Front Row disappears from MacBook Pro

I found Front Row is not launching. I tried running the updater but it says FR is not installed on my machine!
The remote is paired and can control the volume and tracks on iTunes.
I have repaired permissions, shut down, restarted etc but no luck.
Any solutions, anyone?

Try pressing Command ( key) and Esc...thats the keyboard shortcut for Front Row.
I was having difficulties accessing Front Row using the remote after pairing it and having the MBP sleep. I believe I have solved this by unpairing the remote (Security in System Preferences) and restarting.
Hope this helps!

  • 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 issues with MacBook Pro?

    I just bought my MacBook Pro today and transferred all my files from my old Mac via firewire. I run Front Row, and it says "an error has occurred" every time i try and play any playlist OTHER than the playlists of stuff bought from iTunes... any ideas?
    Also --- how do I NOT make it shuffle?
    Thanks!

    ohhhh
    No, actually, I leave my folders somewhere else. That must be why, because my downloads ARE there!
    Another question then...if you guys know...I reinstalled Entourage, and I'm now told that I can't access that identity with this version of Entourage!
    Thanks, you guys are awesome.

  • Front Row disappeared from my iMac

    I already read other topics to solve my problem but no one can answered my question. I updated software to Mac OS X (10.4.9) then my Front Row was disappeared. I tried to press command+esc from my keyboard. I also click menu twice from apple remote and so on but nothing happened. Finally, I tried to install bunbled software only but it appeared "Bundled Software cannot be installed on this computer. Make sure your system meets the requirements." What am I doing wrong? What can I do? I want my Front Row back!
    Thank you very much

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    You can look to see if Front Row is really gone, it should be in this path:
    /Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/
    If it's really gone, you will need to reinstall the bundled software from your install disk. The message you see should only appears if you're trying to use the install disk from a different model computer. Are you certain you have the right install disk that came with your iMac? If it is the right disk, it's possible it's been damaged in some way. You might need to get the disk(s) replaced.

  • ITunes 11.0.3 installation failed, iPhone disappears from MacBook Pro

    Did the update of iTunes to version 11.0.3 some days ago. When finishing I got the message "an error occured", but the new version of iTunes was installed. Now I've got the problem, that my iPhone 5 is no longer recognized by my MacBook Pro. This means, neither iTunes, iPhoto or any other programm is aware of the iPhone beeing connected. The iPhone just sounds "bling" when being connected and it is charged.
    I restarted the Mac and the iPhone. I've fixed the rights. I downloaded the complete iTunes 11.0.3 from Apple-website, but when I installed it again, I've got a similar message (an error occured).
    What can I do now?

    Hello Kadege,
    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.  It sounds like you are not able to install the latest version of iTunes, and your iPhone is not recognized in iTunes or iPhoto.  I found some articles that can help resolve this issue:

  • Front Row disappeared from my computer

    Ok, here's the deal. I was having some problems with my optical drive so I took my iMac G5(iSight) to a Mac store. They had to reinstall Tiger, which they did, but now Front Row is no longer on my computer, even though it came with Front Row already installed on it. I stopped back and they said I could use the reinstallation disks to get it back on there, so I put in the disk, clicked on "Reinstall Bundled Software" and it went through the entire software installation process....still no Front Row. Anyone have any clue what's going on here? I gave it to a Mac Store and when I got it back, Front Row was missing. I'm just trying to get figure out how I can get it back.
    Thanks in adavance

    The guy at the Mac store said that Front Row isn't a part of Tiger so he said they're not responsible...
    Who was this guy? Where did you take your iMac in for service? Users of Intel-based Macs can re-install Front Row from the "bundled software" installer on the Mac OS X install disk. However, Front Row is NOT included in the "bundled software" installer for G5 iSight iMacs. Front Row is included in the Mac OS X installer for those Macs. Your technician is misinformed and used the incorrect disk to install Mac OS X. I would take your iMac back and have then use the correct disk to re-install Mac OS X. They are responsible for your copy of Front Row as it IS included with Mac OS X for your model.

  • IPhoto disappears from MacBook Pro

    I posted this elsewhere, but i'll try here too. Today I found that my MacBook Pro suddenly did not have the iPhoto App anymore. It used to be there. I was able to DL it from Apple, but I wonder what happened? I think I might have deleted it, but I dont't know how I would do that accidentally. I am running Mavericks and the latest iPhoto. All my photo are still there and the DL was sucessfull.

    Nope - I was not wathcing you vvia remote viewing while thiis happened
    Most likely is tha tyou somehow deleted it - but no way anyone but you knwos what happened or what you did

  • Front Row crashes my Macbook Pro

    When playing music in Front Row, the system will freeze approximately 10 to 15 minutes into play time. Time is not consistent. My Screen Saver is disabled. Any ideas? I have all of the latest updates as of May 11, 2008.

    JD I have a similar problem instead of freezing the screen goes black and I can't get it back unless I reboot the system, I can still hear the audio but I have no video at all. Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve or work around this???
    Thanks, Roger

  • Front Row Disappeared?

    I cannot find Front Row on my Macbook Pro but when I press CMD+ESC it starts up. I've used Spotlight with no results, and I checked through the Applications folder and could not find it either.
    Nonetheless, when I press CMD+ESC it starts up and it works.
    Any ideas of how to recover the app icon? I'm setting up my Macbook to serve as an HTPC also and want to be able to access and use Front Row via my remote.

    that's not unusual. Front Row application is just a front end to access Front Row capabilities. command+escape will work even if Front Row.app is completely deleted. if it's really gone you can restore it from backup if you have a backup. if you don't have a backup you can get it off the Snow Leopard install DVd using Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/

    how to transfer data from macbook pro to an external hard drive, im using (WD 1TB 3.0) ???. I cannot copy anything from my mac to it not a single file.

    ok - since you'll be sharing it with a PC - connect it to your windows pc - then format from there - instead of NTFS format - choose exFAT.
    or, you can read the link below on how to do it in dos mode.

    once you've formatted it - you can now use it in both your macbook and windows computer.

  • How do i transfer my data from macbook pro to iMac?

    i just bought a iMac.  How do i transfer my itunes library, photos, files via bluetooth from macbook pro to my iMac?  Much thanks for your help!

    I believe that when you boot your computer for the first time and you are following the onscreen instructions you are prompted whether you want to transfer data from an old mac or PC. If you click 'transfer from an old mac' and follow the onscreen instructions, this may work.
    If you have already skipped this step you could use iCloud to transfer data. If you make sure that everything you want to transfer is synced in iCloud, this may also work.
