Front Row displays partly in foreign language when it should be English

When I go into "Music" in Front Row, where it says "iTunes Top" at the top, it says "iTunes Top - Titel" and "iTunes Top - Musikvideo". It's not displaying in English, and I don't know when this started happening. The iTunes store is set to United States in my iTunes app, and everything else on my computer displays in U.S. English, so any ideas on how to fix this?

Please see my answer in the no "itunes top movie" in my front row topic.

  • ITunes will only display special characters/foreign languages when it is started while not connected to the internet

    This problem started right after upgrading to iTunes 10.5.
    I opened iTunes and all of the songs with special characters, japanese text, etc. showed up as boxes (the fallback unicode rectangle or whatever the proper name is). The result is that I have a ton of songs that just look like this - [][][][][][][][]
    The only thing I have found to fix it is if I disconnect the internet, restart the computer, open itunes and then I can reconnect the internet. When I open itunes while not online, the song titles all go back to normal.
    I can't figure out why being online makes any difference. Yes, I have the correct language packs installed and the characters display correctly in all programs besides itunes.
    Thanks for any help. Let me know if there is any additional info you need.

    I don't have the bit-rot or router issue, but I'm frequently experiencing dropped connections with my ISP (a satellite service). Disabling / reabling the Ethernet port, or closing my laptop lid for a few seconds, usually fixes the problem, abiet temporarily.
    I've noticed during these dropped connections that over 90% of the time, the ethernet port continues to show as active and with a valid IP. The problem seems to have something to do with OS X requesting a new IP when it already has one. The longer I'm online, the more frequently this happens.
    I've installed Apples Broadband Tuner, and am going through my providers Web proxy.
    However, when I VPN into work with the companies PC laptop, the connection seldom drops and is likely due to VPN server overload, which leads me to believe this is an OS X thing.
    Thanks for your help.
    BTW, I removed my router because, even though the setting were correct and both laptops where getting an IP, the MAC dropped more frequently, and I had a much harder time getting a VPN connection on the PC.

  • Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest?

    Why does 'Guest User' appear in a foreign language when logged in as guest? It's not a major problem but it would be nice to be able to fix it, and to understand how it happened.
    Everything else is in English (or set to English) as far as I can see, and my Macbook is only a couple of weeks old. All system updates have been performed and permissions have been repaired.
    It displays it in Finnish (Suomi) as 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' only when logged in, in the System Preferencess user list and apple menu (where you would normally select 'Log Out Guest User'). I cant find anyone else with the same problem online. I am in the UK, purchased the Macbook on the UK Apple Store online, and I have never been to Finland or selected anything to do with Finland or its language. Everything else is in English.
    I should add that 'Vierastilin' showed up instead of 'Guest User' on the OSX login screen on the first day I had the Macbook, but this seemed to fix itself somehow soon after.
    A couple of photos to illustrate the problem that still exists are attached.

    Thanks for the reply. I only have English - Primary but I guess I could add Finland and then delete it...
    Okay, tried that, lots of variations including deleting all other languages and only using Finnish, and then using only British English etc - when guest is in Finnish the whole lot becomes Finnish/Suomi (see attached photos to compare with the ones above) - then when you delete Finnish and go back to English, everything is Englisg apart from 'Vierastilin käyttäjä' as above.
    Any other ideas where it stores that info - is there a dodgy preference file somewhere which needs zapping?

  • Watching dvds in front row = displays sleeps

    hi all - i gots the following problem
    watching dvds in front row = displays sleeps - or at least dulls back until i use the trackpad to wake it
    i assumed that this would not be issue with front row as it would be obvious that i wanted the dvd shown full screen - any ideas?

    Wow, I never found this before. I played the dvd in front row on best performance (battery setting) and the display went black. I closed front row and opened it in dvd player and it played for 15 min and never went black.
    Any way I went into energy saver and adjusted custom to never turn off display then opened front row. That seems to have worked.

  • HT5557 I bought a book in iBooks but i recieved it is a foreign language. What should I do to get English and not have to pay again?

    I bought a book in iBooks but received it in a foreign language. What should I do to get it in English and not have to pay again?

    What languase does the book's description page in the store say that it's in ? If it says that it's in English then try deleting it from the bookshelf in the iBooks app and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app.
    If it redownloads in the wrong language then try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If the book's description page says that it's in the language that it's downloaded in then purchases are considered final, but you can try the above 'report a problem' link or Contact site to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you

  • Front Row displays desktop when streaming a TV show from a shared library

    I recently bought South Park series 9 from the iTunes store on my iMac. I have a Macbook that is currently being used as a media server, being hooked up to a Samsung LCD TV.
    The other day I was happily watching one of the episodes via Front Row on my Macbook through the TV, when it suddenly displayed the error message "Cannot play this video" (Or similar). When I went to go back into the episode, it displayed the "There are no shared movies" error message.
    After a while, I eventually re-connected to the iMac library, but now when I select a video, it displays the "Loading video..." screen in Front Row, then plays the Audio, but displays the desktop, as if Front Row is not there.
    When the video plays in iTunes it plays fine, and this only happens with the shared videos in the iMac's iTunes library.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    CubaMAN is correct. This issue is due to the most recent version of iTunes. It's also, specifically, due to the version of iTunes on the computer that's running Front Row, not the computer that's sharing the videos. I would suggest you send Apple some iTunes feedback. There's an option for a "feedback type" of "Bug Report":
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    If you can, temporarily, move the videos to the MacBook, they'll play just fine directly.

  • Front row doesn't play default music when displaying an event slideshow

    I bought an iMac recently, the first time I used front row to display event slideshows it plays a default classical music. The same event displayed in iphoto '08 plays several default songs, but for some reason front row at this moment doesn't plays any music. I suspect that I clicked the save settings button in iphoto when I tried to play a slideshow.
    Anyway, I would like to restore all the default settings and play the default music in front row and iphoto for all my photo events.

    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).

  • Catalog id is not getting displayed properly in Foreign Language (French)

    Hi All,
    I have created a web service id for the external catalog and I have assigned the same to one of the user. The name of the web service id is getting displayed properly in the shopping cart creation screen when the language is English. But when we are changing the user language to Foreign language (French), the name is not getting displayed properly.
    Could you please advise me if there any settings needs to be done in the parameters of the specific web service id. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi,
    Go to External Web Services and the select the web service ID. Then click on GOTO >Translation and select the language and enter the description of the web service as to be disaplyed while users log in French against the language.
    Thanks,

  • Automatically switch Front Row display to  a second monitor

    I know that it is possible to change the "primary monitor" in the System Proferences, start Front Row, and then manually change to primary monitor back later on, but is there a way to do this automatically?
    Thanks

    Hi Susan....
    I occasionally use my MBP with my lcd TV and didn't want to mess around with stuff all the time, so I just mirror my MBP display onto the LCD TV. The MBP normally changes it's display to match the TV, and changes back when I disconnect. I also turn the brightness down to zero on the mbp to save the display!
    Problem solved!

  • Coverflow and Front Row display the WRONG artwork

    I have tried all the answers I can find and also some more in depth ones as well....
    (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1284758)
    I have made sure there is only ONE artwork in the 'get info' of the track (the correct one)
    I have deleted the Album art folder (download and local) in the iTunes music folder
    I have deleted cache and preferences where I could find them for both iTunes and Front Row
    I have restarted!
    YET the same **** WRONG artwork still shows in the COVERFLOW and when using FRONT ROW to access your music with the remote!
    Can't find anything about this from Apple.... Surely this is an easy fix for Apple......?
    The last changed artwork (by modify date) is the one that coverflow and Front row should use...???
    iTunes displays the correct artwork, 'get info' shows there is only ONE artwork (the correct one)
    I have deleted everything I can think off and yet Coverflow and Front Row still display the old, incorrect artwork! and get this... if I delete the artwork completely, so it is the default "no artwork" icon that itunes displays Frontrow and coverflow STILL display the old incorrect one!
    Reading these forums I am amazed that something as basic and integral to the iTunes/iLife experience has been so blatently ignored and left to the users/forums to muddle through!
    Come on Apple! get your act together! this is crazy...
    I am NOT the only one with this problem!
    ANYWAY.... any advice?

    Me Also.
    Right now I only notice it on one album.
    Both the song playing and the artwork in the info box are correct, it's only coverflow that is wrong.

  • Front Row displays a video name thats been deleted...

    I've deleted a movie on my mac, I go into Front Row>Videos>Movies and the file name is still there, anyone had the same problem or does anyone know how to get rid of this?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Oh man... well I backed up my iTunes Library.xml file and the iTunes Music Library.xml file and deleted them, sure enough, the "phantom videos" went away but all my playlist where gone. When I went to restore the xml files I did something wrong and didn't get them back so I went to an older backup (thank God for external USB drives) and pulled that those xml files and after a few minutes of cleaning up the changes I had made since that back up there are now many more "phantom videos' in my FR Movies Section.
    Is there a way to back up playlists and and restore them without the "Phantom videos" coming back as well?

  • Can Front Row display other applications?

    As a teacher, I use PowerPoint a lot, and would love to display my PowerPoint presentations with Front Row. Can Front Row be customized (or something) to display created PowerPoint presentations? Is it possible to add applications to the circle of applications on Front Page's initial screen? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    No, it's not possible to add applications to Front Row. It should be possible, however, to export a QuickTime movie of your PowerPoint presentation. You could then play this with the "Videos" module.

  • Front Row Displays Rentals in French?

    After a quick search through the forums I cant find anything on this, which is simply when using Front Row, accessing TV Shows the first option in the list is Itunes Classement Episo.... On accessing this I get trailer in french, same happens in Music, when the preview options are in french.
    I've checked my international preferences which are all set to UK, I can't see where Front Row is picking up french from, I'm hoping someone out here has the answer

    baloo,
    My settings are all US, and I'm having the same phenomenon. Since Front Row doesn't have a preference dialogue, I don't think I can correct it from my end.
    So far, the rest of the readouts are not affected -- just the previews.
    Regards,
    Bruce

  • Is front row still part of os 10.6

    I use snow leopard and considering upgrading to mountain lion. Does it include front row?

    Further research on Forum suggests there is a way to get Front Row back into Mountain Lion, do you know if this facility is sound.
    Opinions seem to differ!
    There are umpteen threads about this in the Front Row forum:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/front_row?view=discussions
    Might be worth scouring the threads for info.
