  • Front Row doesn't find any song!

    Time ago i was able to use front row with my remote with no problem, now, without doing anything, it appears a message when i try to use it...
    "Front Row doesn't find any song
    Use iTunes to import songs or to buy songs from the iTunes Store"
    I can use the Front Row, i can choose music, playlists, songs, and stuff, but wherever i click, there's the same message
    I didn't do anything... just stopped working, i don't know why...
    need help please

    Hi,
    I'm having the same problem. I recently switched to Leopard & the first time I tried Front Row after the change it can't find any songs, podcasts, etc. Itunes works fine in all respects. I'm working on a 2 GHz Intel Core Duo with 10.5.4.
    ....I'm hoping the answer is not to update Quicktime, because it seems that every update cancels the previously paid Quicktime "pro" features.
    thanks for any advice!

  • Front Row doesn't show alias/Ext HD folder...

    Frustration... It was working perfectly under 10.4 but doesn't work at all now.
    Created an alias of my ext HD movies folder and placed it in the "Movies" folder of iTunes library, but Front Row doesn't see it at all.
    When i drop that alias in itunes itself it copies all the contents/movies, wich takes too much room and is not what i want...
    Help?

    I think you've misunderstood the suggestions for this, the alias needs to live in your user's "Movies" folder, not in the iTunes "Movies" folder. It should be in this path:
    <Macintosh HD>/Users/<YourUsersShortName>/Movies/
    You should be able to move the alias you've already made into the right folder and then Front Row should find your hard drive.

  • Front Row can't find the latest version of my iMovie project

    I need some help figuring out just where my iMovie project really is.
    I have been creating a project in order to learn how to manage all of the features of iMovie '09. I have revised many times and if I follow the path MacHD>Movies>iMovie Projects>first project and click to open, I see the most recent version.
    I have also shared using Media Browser and created an iDVD. Then I created a disc image of that and burned it using disc utility - just to see how all of that works. When I use DVD player to play it, I see the most recent version of my 'movie'.
    Next I tried to watch it using Front Row. When I open Front Row, then click through Movies to Movies Folder to iMovie Projects the computer tells me that there is no content. What I do have beneath the word Movies is the word Large. If I click on that, I get a much older version of the iMovie project that I thought had been discarded days ago.
    This is not a big deal. But I would like to know why Front Row can't find the most recent version of the project. I also would like to know why the old version is still there and reassurance that my latest version really has been saved and that it is 'safe'.

    I think that the movies that you see in Front Row are the ones that you shared to iTunes. However, if you click on the movies folder, you should see movies in your Media Browser. These are stored inside your RCProject file in the Movies/imovie Projects/<Project Name> container. If you right-click/Show Package Contents, you should see a Movies folder that has your movie.
    Also, there is a quirk in the Media Browser. If you have shared a movie to the Media Browser, and later change the movie, the Media Browser copy is deleted right then. You will see a warning message that says "This movie has already been shared. If you change it you will need to republish" (I am paraphrasing). So you have to re-share the movie for it to be in the Media Browser. However, copies you have shared to iTunes are not affected until you re-share.

  • Front Row Doesn't See my Shared Libraries

    Pretty simple problem, front row doesn't display any of the many shared libraries on my network. I have both Mac and PC's that are sharing and can see me but I can't see them in Front Row.
    Furthermore, they are visible in iTunes...

    Mitch,
    I had been experiencing the same problem. MacMini Front Row 2.1.3 (and earlier) not "seeing" shared iTunes libraries from iMac, G4, or other PC's on my home network, yet iTunes on the same machine was always able to see and connect to the shared libraries. All machines are at the latest versions of iTunes and Quicktime and there were no unusual file formats involved (Mp3 and Mp4). Since this had been going on for eons and no updates from Apple seemed to resolve the issue, and searching these forums offered no solutions I decided to spend some time today working on the problem.
    I created a new account on the MacMini and when I fired up Front Row it was able to see the other Sources (I would suggest you try that as a first step). Since this validated that the problem was not with Front Row but rather with some other settings on my regular user account I began removing plists from my ~/<UserName>/Library/Preferences folder and rebooting after removing each plist before and testing Front Row Sources again. When I removed the com.apple.iTunes.plist and rebooted I was able to see the other sources through Front Row.
    This has fixed the problem for me. I did need to reset my iTunes environment (preferences, music location and iTunes Store information) when I relaunched iTunes but other than that there were no changes.
    I would not imagine that it is a recommend practice to delete plists in this way but I was getting very frustrated with their being no solutions to the problem. I hope this solution works for you.

  • Front Row doesn't support Compilations / Multiple Artists

    Frustrating but true - Front Row doesn't support multiple artists, so whilst you can view Various Artist albums in iTunes and on your iPod - you can't do it in Front Row. Pity - I just spent £600 buying an iMac SOLEY to use Front Row for a large music collection..... so please put me out of my misery. What am I doing wrong ?

    great!
    I found the same question and the SOLUTION in this forum. Thank you!.
    Pity that the Macbook Pro17 SPANISH manual just says "open the Front Row application" and not how to do (holding Comand-Esc).....
    Nice laptop though....
    Thanks again!

  • Front Row doesn't display masked videos correctly

    I have an Mpeg2 file (640x480) that I've masked using Quicktime Pro so that it removes the black letterboxing (625x362). When I play the video back using quicktime, it displays fine, taking up the full width of my screen and not quite filling the height.
    However, when I play the same file back in Front row, it takes up the full height, and doesn't quite take up the full width. However, the letterboxing has been removed, so the result is that my video plays back kinda "skinny".
    Am I doing something blonde? Is this expected behavior?

    Hello there,
    this maybe not will answer your question, but it explains issues with missing artwork in front row i've experienced.
    2 albums of my collection refused to display their artwork in front row (these artworks were displaying perfectly fine in itunes, coverflow, finder songs icons and ipods off course).
    After trying different things like deleting & replacing artwork, changing size of picture, and so on, nothing changed so i felt really disappointed...
    until....I remembered that i have created an itunes music store "wishing list", with 2 songs of these 2 albums. After deleting these 2 songs from the wishing list, everything is back to normal, and front row display correctly the artwork..
    thank you for reading, and hope it will help some of you guys.

  • Front Row Doesn't Display Album Artist?

    Hi
    One thing I have just noticed about Front Row is that it does not seem to make use of the Album Artist field from iTunes. In my library I have featured artists included in the Artist field, with the main artist displayed in the Album Artist field. For example, the song Smooth by Santana would have the Artist as Santana Ft. Rob Thomas, with the Album Artist as Santana.
    This is all fine in iTunes - but in Front Row, when browsing by album, it displays such an album as by Various rather than whoever the album artist is. This seems particularly odd, considering in Cover Flow in iTunes, and even on the iPhone, the Album Artist field is used in correctly.
    Is this just me with this problem? Or is it something that Apple are aware of and hopefully will correct? Surely it can't be that big a fix...

  • 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 doesn't see the Events

    hey everyone,
    I noticed that when I use Front row to view our pictures, it doesn't see the Events, only the albums. I deleted all my albums in iPhoto so that I can organize all my pictures via Events. But now, none of my Events show up in the menu screen.
    Is there a way to have Front row view my pictures as Events?

    Is your iPhoto up-to-date? I can see my Events by choosing the top-level "Photos" option that appears above my list of albums in Front Row just inside the "Photos" module.

  • 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 doesn't recognize connection.

    When I try to use Front Row I get a message that says I'm not connected to the internet. I have contacted Apple but they haven't been able to fix it. I've reinstalled MAC OSX but it's still the same.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    What kind of connection do you you have? Wi-Fi? If so, even if there is no network, you might try plugging in an Ethernet cable. The cable does not need to be connected to anything, sometimes Front Row looks "first" at the Ethernet port for a network connection. If it finds a cable but no network, it may make the next step and look for a network on Wi-Fi.

  • Front Row doesn't shows my photos - error message

    I'm having problems with front row when I try to show images. When I choose this option, front row shows an error message similar to this: Front Row encountered a Problem, press play to continue. When I press play, it exits the program.
    I reinstalled the MacOs and it kept the problem. I created a new user, and on this front row is working.
    Any help??
    Tks

    No help.
    I assume you're using Aperture ?
    Even Aprture 3,1,1 doesn't fix this problem.

  • Front Row doesn't play nicely with MP4's

    Friends, I have several MP4 music videos which were downloaded from YouTube. They play fine in Quicktime, and Quicklook opens them fine. I dragged them into iTunes mostly just to see If they would play there. They work fine. The problem is that when I open MUSIC in Front Row, the videos are shown as an available playlist, but when I try to open that playlist, Front Row tells me that there is no music in the files. I wonder if I'm asking FR to do something it just doesn't want to do, or perhaps I need to rename the file, or store them in another manner in iTunes. It's not really a big deal, just one of those things that makes ya go Hmmmm....
    For what it's worth, my QT version is 7.6, iTunes is version 8 and FR has been updated to 2.1.7.
    I'll appreciate your insight.
    Thanks

  • Front row doesn't see remote source movie folder

    Hi,
    I did a forum search and didn't see this addressed anywhere else.
    When I open a remote source in Leopard Front Row, and navigate to the movie folder, it displays what is in the local movie folder rather than what is in the remote computer's movie folder. It will see movies in the remote iTunes library. All machines I have tested are at 10.5.1. I enabled iTunes sharing on each of the machines I used as a remote source.
    Is there a setting I am missing somewhere or is this just the way Front Row works in Leopard?
    Thanks!

    Funny, I was just investigating this myself. This occurred in my setup as well, which includes:
    - iMac running Leopard 10.5.1, iTunes 7.5 (19) with password-free sharing enabled, running as a media server, hosting these types of files (all legally purchased and owned, in case anyone from the MPAA is reading this):
    - DVD movies ripped to VIDEO_TS folders using MacTheRipper
    - MP4 movies ripped with Handbrake
    - MPG and MOV format home movies
    - Macbook Pro running Front Row 2.0 (229) on Leopard 10.5.1 as a client
    - Local Wifi D-Link 624 (802.11g) network with external firewalls, but no restrictions on local traffic
    - OS X firewalls disabled on both iMac and Macbook Pro
    As a workaround, I did the following:
    1. Using Finder on the Macbook Pro client, connected to the iMac Movies folder. This mounts the remote folder locally on the client.
    2. Grabbed the iMac Movies icon and dragged it to the Macbook Pro client's Movies folder. This creates an alias to the remote folder. If you want, you can rename this alias to something like "Remote Movies".
    3. Opened Front Row > Movies in the Macbook Pro. I now can see my locally stored movies as well as the remotely-stored movies under the newly-created folder alias. All my remote movies now play locally in Front Row.
    Anyone else have a more-elegant solution?
    Regards,
    Steven
