Front Row Graphics and Pointer issues

Greetings Everyone,
I've noticed graphical glitches (visible white lines) in Front Row which seem to outline main categories and sub categories. It's very inconsistent as some disappear after selecting category with arrow keys. Additionally, after exiting Front Row, my mouse pointer disappears and requires for me to move mouse for 3-4 seconds before re-appearing. Any input or similar symptoms would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ann,
You can open Disk Utility which is located in the Utilities folder in Applications and verify/repair your disk. It may also be helpful to repair Disk Permissions of Macintosh HD. After you do that, I suggest restarting to make sure that your iMac is running at its best performance.
I hope this helps you!

Front Row up and down now nothing..

Hey All
I brought a brand new MacBookPro last week and all is good. Front Row worked ok at the start then i noticed a few probs a few days later.. I clicked the menu button and it wouldnt open.. id move the laptop into another room and it would work.. this happened for a while and was very up and down connecting to FR....now when i click menu i get nothing..
I dont see any IR receiver tab to click and unclick in prefs>Security, heck the IR doesnt show up in System Profiler under usb.. my isight cam works perfectly. I have repaired permissions as i do all the time but to no avail..
how can i fix this? any tips? Surely i dont need a new battery after a week? ive hardly used it.. the thing is brand new..
any help would be appreciated.

well i had to call apple tonight for peace of mind.. we ran a series of tests, zapping pram, trying out a new account etc and the IR Receiver is deader than a do do, i know the remote works because i held it up to the camera in isight and saw the dot flashing.. anyway im taking it to my local apple dealer tomorrow to get fixed.. a one week old macbook pro and this happens.. how does it happen on a brand new machine? very strange!

Front Row & Mac Pro Tower Issues

Hi
I am trying to use Front Row on my early '09 Pro Tower and when I go to get Movie Trailers all it tells me is that I am NOT connected to the internet - which is incorrect.
Any ideas what is going on here??
Thanks so much

Under 10.9.2, the rule was that any "Legacy" Adapter after the first two required ACTIVE (read: Powered) adapters. The built-in HDMI, if used, counts as One.
Any DVI over 1920 wide requires a Dual-Link DVI adapter -- Dual-Link means the signal lines (three push-pull Drivers = 6 more wires) must be present in every adapter, cable, and connector.

Front Row Freezes and has Glitches with DVDs

I already posted this in another forum, but someone suggested I post it here.
Whenever I start a DVD using Front Row, about 1 in every 5 times the screen will remain black and nothing will happen, and I can't even force quit to get out, I have to do a force shut down. This is infuriating when all I want to do is watch a DVD and I have to restart the whole computer. What could be causing this? When the thing actually DOES play dvds, the screen has glitches, like pink and green random images that resembles when an old Nintendo system is crashing. Please help if you can!! Thanks in advance.

I sure haven't. I must note, also, that it's not just with DVDs. Video files on the hard drive have the problem, as well.
Someone mentioned that the VGA dongle might be the culprit but that doesn't make sense. The computer with an external display works fine until Front Row is used. And, as I stated earlier, it doesn't seem to matter with my situation if I have an external display connected or not.
My personal opinion is that there's a conflict with some third-party codecs on the system. For example, I have installed the Perian components and ffmpeg. Since I have some free time this weekend, I'll be removing these and see if the problems persist.

Itunes / Front Row mp4 and avi and xvid

Hello.
I have started collecting and moving my videos to my macbook.
From my linux/windows days I have avi xvid/divx files.
I have divx player installed on my mac and those files play fine if I click on them.
They also will play if I put them in my movie folder and use front row.
If I try to move avi and xvid to itunes. They will not import.
I assume this is the case becuase itunes is only allowing files into itunes lib that will sync and play on a vid ipod?
However with the move to appleTV and such there are those that are going to want a HQ video that maynot sync on ipod.
Basicly, I just need to know what format I need to start experimenting as far as size/quality ratio so that I can move my vids to that format.
Thanks for your help.

Close... Quicktime has to be able to support the formats for them to be accepted into iTunes.

Is Front Row Working And Up To Date ...

Hi, Is the MacBook or the iMac a better media server? I would primarily leave it attached to a television and play iTunes Videos via Front Row. Thanks.

If you want a media server you're proably better of buying a Mac that doesn't have a screen like the Mac mini.

Front Row slideshows and purchased music

When i create a slideshow in Iphoto and add music to it from a purchased song/protected song it plays the slideshow in Iphoto with the music. However if I then try to play the slideshow from Front Row it will play the slideshow but without the music. If I substitute the song with a non purchased song it plays fine from front row. Is there a problem playing slideshows from Front Row using a Purchased Song as the background music?

I had the exact same problem before but I fixed my problem through iphoto and it worked on my front row photo gallery; all you have to do is open iphoto, click the play button (at the bottom left corner), you will find a slideshow window, select the music tab at the top, choose sample music or itunes (your music library) or garageband, choose a track and click *_save settings_* to make the background music work in front row. Please try my experience and good luck.
Cheers.

New Front Row, iTunes and Quick Time updater

For user that not aware, there is a new updater for mac which is Front Row 1.3, iTunes 7.0.0 and QuickTime 7.1.3.
For my self, I think the iTunes 7.0.0 is excellent, I found it helpfull to categorize the video and TVshow that I have into a big art image with all the titles next to it instead of showing all as list or as icon in previous iTunes. Not to mention that we can buy a full length dvd movie ($9.99).
I wish the price is the same as songs or regular video ($2.99)...lol
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
Check the link above or use your software updater on your apple menu bar.
Good Luck and Enjoy.

The Updates
A. iTunes
I like the new iTunes a lot, but my major problem is that my music videos (from iTunes store and other sources) are in my music library! When I am typing or on the internet, iTunes is in mini player mode. All of a sudden a video window pops up and starts playing (what else) a video. I don't like that. The music and video mix transfers over to the iPod also. The main reason I don't like it (on the iPod) is because the audio for a video is different than the original song. An example of this is, Don't Speak -by: No doubt.
B. Front Row
I always liked Front Row and don't really notice any changes to it. It used to be a little slow on the exit, but after the update works like normal again. Therefore, I assume the update for Front Row was for the inner workings of the application. No complaints here.
C. Quick Time
I don't really use Quick Time. I do most of my video watching in iTunes of Front Row because I don't have to pay Apple to watch stuff full screen with those applications. Although, most of my videos are in Quick Time format because it takes anywhere from two (2) too thirty (30) seconds for Front Row to load Windows Media Video files from my external HD. (I guess that IS a complaint for Front Row, but don't tell him. ^_^)
D. iPod v. 1.2
Nice! 1) I can adjust the screen brightness (to conserve battery life). 2) Quick scroll thinggy (I lack the technical jargon to describe it). 3) Screen has a little brightness while it's connected to my computer. 'Nuf said.
E. Summary
I update anything Apple tells me to. But I am having some regrets about iTunes. Nothing that is going to make me uninstall iTunes and reinstall it from a CD (say... the CD that came with my iPod). I have sent a suggestion to Apple, so if you don't like the way things are, I suggest you do the same because posting here will do little to get it fixed. To do it, go to the menu bar while in iTunes and click:
iTunes>Provide iTunes feedback
It should be something similar in Windows, if any of you guys and gals are reading this. Everything else is fine.

Front Row, iTunes, and Rentals

Is Front Row going to be updated, when AppleTV is updated, so I can rent from front row or even watch Rented Movies from Front Row?

It is a good question... I guess we have the answer given that the @tv has been updated.

Yosemite graphics and sound issues

this is my computer:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Early 2011)
Processor 2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
i have been dealing with a very inconsistent problem since i've downloaded yosemite.
I'll start with the one consistency.
my computer no longer chimes at start up. Thought it was a hardware problem. I have run an AHT to no avail. no problems detected. although it may be an issue with the lack of RAM seeing as 'the internet' recommends at least 8GB for Yosemite.
itunes takes approx. 10 minutes to open. (also may be a RAM problem to this is regardless of whether anything else is running)
as does iphoto
Now the inconsistent stuff:
the computer crashes when dealing with any time of image files may it be picture or video.
most of the time the computer will have some trouble playing video files and at times the whole computer will crash very spontaneously. I have updated the flashplayer as well as my media player of choice VLC. I do have stints when VLC will work just fine for several films but then will randomly crash.   When the computer crashes it will go into a start up loop of the gray apple screen to a blank gray screen which will then crash and restart again and again.
I can't, for some reason, never get the recovery mode to work. Command R takes an eternity and then goes to gray screen. Command D shows no problems.
I have reset the PRAM and SMC which at times works and at times doesn't in my quest to get past the gray blank screen.
after the computer has started up in my juggling act there is a graphics problem note.
youtube on safari is very glitchy. the glitchiness sort of began with Chrome so deleted it and started to use Safari sometimes no sound. sometimes the video lags. i have to move the scroll around a bit for it to work. once it gets the hang of it its fine though...
when the computer comes out of sleep it may take 30 seconds when i haven't used it for a while which i understand is a hardware sleep thing. i have heard stories of the black screen and functioning mouce and this happens here quite a bit. from 5 to 30 second of time. the main interesting point is that it at times starts up ok and at times will give me a very glitched out login screen, yet the login panel itself is fine.
i have been thinking about downgrading to maverick again or even lion for the sake of installing a new operating system and to deal with the RAM but i think there is a collection of minor problems and i don't really know what i'm doing completely. I will buy more RAM if this issues is salvageable. all in all i'm one those OMG my computer ***** now that i've downloaded yosemite people.
can someone please point me in a self suffiecent direction? are there any diagnostics i'm not looking into?   is my computer just too old for Yosemite? am I doomed to pay some mac wiz a ton of money? can all this just be a clunky OS and too little RAM?
i hope this helps other people and thanks for anything you have to add.

Also when I do a command R reboot, the computer freezes on the gray screen with the fan running vigorously. I have to shut it down by hand to do anything.

Weird graphics and other issues with internet explorer in all versions.

One of our laptops has an issue with their Internet Explorer. First, whenever the user logs on and starts internet explorer and navigates to any website, the website loads for a bit but then immediately displays a "Page cannot be displayed" error.
Every single time. If we try browsing again/refreshing the page it loads fine. But during regular browsing, we might get that page again.
Another issue that happens is sometimes the graphics logos won't load properly. See screenshot:
http://i.imgur.com/0usOPpu.jpg
And this happens a lot. If this won't happen, the websites will only load with half its formatting missing.
Now we have:
-Thoroughly checked computer for viruses. Several full scans have been done with MalwareBytes with no issues found. Microsoft Security Essentials has been installed, full scan done, no viruses/spyware/adware found.
-We have tried upgrading to IE11. Same issue. Downgraded to IE10. Same issue. Downgraded to IE9, same issue yet again. IE was Reset each time.
We checked if it could be a network issue, but none of the other computers connected to the same switch has issue like that.
Any suggestions/ideas to try?

Hi,
I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall, then check the result.
You may try the steps from the links below to check the issue:

You may also refer to the computer or device manufacturer website and try installing the latest version of chipset, graphics card and video card drivers and check.
Hope it helps.

Aperture Graphics and Brushes issue

I've been having a lot of trouble with (what seems like) my graphics using aperture 3.2.1.
Firstly, when applying brushes and zoomed, my graphics go crazy with horizontal and vertical lines. (See screenshot):
Secondly, when resizing a brush, the brush size jumps from small to very big with no middle size, even though the slider is moving. It's like the data for those sizes is missing somehow.
1-I've done all troubleshooting steps including rebuilding my library
2-I tested my library in a different user (same issue)
3-I exported a few and tried it on a different mac (it works fine!)
4-I uninstalled and reinstalled aperture completely (still no dice)
I'm also wondering if this could be a hardware issue with my graphics card (although I doubt it because the graphics only go crazy INSIDE the aperture window)
I'm going to try to do a clean install of my OS but I'm wondering if other people have had this issue. Any suggestions?

Same thing here. It only happens when using brushes while zoomed in. Funny thing is it just started doing it out of the blue about 3 days ago .. no new software install, no new updates and I work completely off external drives so it's not like I've had any major changes. It's rather annoying though

Pixelated Graphics and Sound Issue (Gt70 2pc dominator gtx 870m)

Sup.
Bought my first MSI gaming notebook a couple days ago. It's fairly nice but it seems I'm having a couple issues.
First:
Sound issue. I have a Turtlebeach Z22 headset. When using it on my MSI laptop I get a series of pops every couple words. The Z22 uses both usb and aux for the mic/headphones and I have tried everything from swithcing jacks, usb ports, updating drivers and playing around with realtek settings. No dice.
Second: For some reason in game cutscenes have a lot of pixelation.
I have tried crysis 2 and farcry 3 so far on max settings. Any sort of cutscene that uses a video clip (like Farcry's video tutorials) has a lot of pixelation and is sometimes fuzzy. The games are usually fine for the most part. I have updated my gfx drivers played with gfx setting and set launching options to Nvidia as global.
Any ideas?

Do you mean the pop sound? It would be better if you can share a video or sound record of the situation.

Quiet manay people talk about the issue, try to change the game setting to improve the situation.

Front Row Issue When iTunes is Running

On my Mac Mini (which is our media centre), I've noticed some strange behaviour. Namely, if I leave iTunes running and then start Front Row, after a while (up to 24 hours sometimes), Front Row can no longer see the iTunes library. With iTunes shutdown this doesn't happen.....

I have confirmed that this issue only exists with a library on a network share. Local libraries seem to work fine. I have submitted a bug report to Apple.
To anyone from Apple who may be reading: this is a huge degradation in capability for those of us who use our Macs as media servers and need the ability to simultaneously use front row locally and share the music library with other computers. I am looking forward to a fix.
