Front Row not wotking correctly with iTunes smart playlist based on rating

Hello!
I’m a new Mac user and I love the integration between Front Row and iTunes, but I’ve found an annoying bug.
In iTunes I have a smart playlist based on rating, something similar to Top Rated playlist, which works great in iTunes itself and on my iPhone and iPod. The problem is that when I play it in Front Row it adds at the bottom whatever song from my library. Anyone knows how to fix it?? Afterwards the whole thing would be perfect!
Both iTunes and FR are updated to the latest version.
Many thanks in advance

  • Ipod does not sync correctly with ITunes

    Hello, and thanks in adavce for responding.
    A couple days ago I connected my Ipod to a different PC with an older version of Itunes. I did not asociate the library nor synchronized the Ipod with it. When I connected my Ipod in my main PC where I keep my library, it seems as if it does not sync all my files correctly. For example, I have some TV shows in my library but they don't seem to transfer into my Ipod, when they used to before. I have the same problem with the photos. I have re-set my Ipod to factory settings a copule of times with different results. The first time, the photo's would not appear, and the second time, the TV shows did not. Furthermore, my ITunes library does not show photos anymore, but they do appear in the Ipod. It seems as if the Ipod is confused with ITunes, but I honestly don't know what to do. Can anyone help?
    Thanks.

    formatting the ipod resolved the problem for me, and also on a friends ipod with the same problem (160GB version)

  • Front Row only work correctly when iTunes is closed... (2.1.3 update)

    I installed the Front Row update this morning, along with the iTunes and Quick Time updates. When I tried it quickly this morning it all worked fine. I've just been playing now with iTunes open to sync my iPod touch and Front Row said it couldn't find any songs in my library. I closed iTunes and tried again and now they're there! My iTunes library is stored on an external drive attached to my AirPort Extreme (air disc). Has anyone else suffered this problem, if it is indeed a problem? Is this how it's supposed to work?

    Did you try simply downloading the latest version of iTunes using the link below and then installing it on top of the older version?

  • IPad does not sync correctly with iTunes

    Hey, I have a problem and would appreciate some help.
    I have all my music library on itunes on my macbook (including some albums that I have created as compilations by collating multiple albums and for which I have edited the album cover photo ie selected a photo of my own). Some of the songs have been entered in my library by cds that I had and the rest by being purchased directly from itunes.
    When I sync my itunes library with my ipods all is well and the albums, artists, playlists etc sync exactly the same (that is covers, tracks, order etc remain as shown on my library).
    When I sync with my iphone 5S or my ipad air then I get strange... Some albums show correclty, others have a different cover photo - not the one that I have selected and edited on itunes -  some have the tracks doubled or even the entire albums doubled, etc...
    Although I have tried to solve this on my own, i have not managed yet...
    BTW both my devices (iphone and ipad) sync automatically with icloud and so I only connect them to my macbook in order to sync the music. Maybe this is the problem?? Is there any way to have icloud NOT sync music with the devices?
    On my macbook I have tried the ioption 'manage music manually' and then selecting the albums on my own but i get the same strange results.
    Any ideas?
    I even tried to erase all the music from my ipad/iphone (by selecting 'manage music manually' and then not selecting any of the albums or tracks in my library) but the music, at least part of it remains there... basically only the songs or albums purchased from itunes showing the icloud download icon next to them.
    Any sugestions on how to solve this issue?
    THX for your help,
    Dimitris

    Scrap that, it seems to have self remedied

  • Front Row Doesn't work with iTunes

    I liked that Front Row in Tiger was basically a front for your iTunes. Now they are separate. If you're listening to iTunes and launch front row, you have to start your listening over. That's stupid! Why would Apple do that?
    That's the main function I used front row for. I don't want my listening experience to stop when I de-activate front row. Forget that.

    Yay! I'm happy. This worked:

  • Smart Playlists using My Rating

    I'm currently using v6.03, but this problem has happened with earlier versions as well: stars do not appear when composing a Smart Playlist using My Rating. Different Google searches, etc. have led me to experiment and discover that clicking in the stars box(es) does actually select them, even if they are invisible.
    I just updated iTunes to 6.03 this morning and I noticed that the stars did appear in the Smart playlist dialog then, but now they do not.
    Does anyone have a remedy for this situation?
    Thanks.

    It's not an iTunes problem. Update your video driver and/or DirectX to the latest versions. This usually fixes it.
    While you're at it, you should go to Windows Update and install all available updates. It's amazing the number of problems this solves.

  • Front Row not authenticated but iTunes is?

    I've got a Mac Mini that is pulling it's library from my Mac G4. I have it so that an alias of the library file on my Mac Mini is pointing to the Library file on my G4 (which holds all my music on a software RAID array) through the network. This was working fine for about a month. Then I did a software update on my Mac Mini (which is hooked up to my stereo and TV), and now ALL my tunes (including MP3s) cannot be played through Front Row. It tells me that I have to quit Front Row, load iTunes and authenticate the song through iTunes. But iTunes doesn't have any problem playing the music! Most of these files (95%) are MP3s anyway with no DRM!!! So, I am totally confused. Any ideas?
    Again, I can play the songs without any problems by using iTunes. But if I try using Front Row (much more convenient with the remote and all!!), then I get this annoying error which forces me to quit and go straight through iTunes. Both systems have the latest OS updates.
    MDD G4 + Intel Duo Core Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Flux Capacitor installed in both

    I've pretty similar problem. I've a music library in Buffalo TeraStation. TeraStation is mounted and visible to Mac Mini, which is hooked to my stereo.
    Most of the music was originally in the WMA Lossless. Recently I've converted them to Apple Lossless. Some music is also in lossy AAC and MP3. All music plays well with iTunes, but not with Front Row. Odd enough, I can authorize songs from iTunes one by one. They will play then with Front Row, but Front Row will forgot it later.
    The primary reason to buy Mac Mini was to create a neat interface for my music collection through Mini/Front Row/Remote Controller, so I'm obviously very keen on finding a solution as well.

  • Why does front row not have simple organization?

    I currently have a hard drive hooked into my macmini which is hooked up to my TV. On my hard drive I have over 1000 movies, all purchased through iTunes. However when I use front row and i goto the movie section, I have to scroll through every movie to get to the one I want. There's no way to scroll by letter, only one by one. This is horrible and takes forever. Can apple do an update that makes the right button on the apple remote for scrolling letter by letter. For example, you click the right button to goto movies starting with B, C, D, E, F, etc. Then the down button for one by one scrolling. Also, why does front row not have genres? AppleTV does. Why not incorporate that into front row? Think, Apple, Think.

    You can have sub-folders in the Movies folder and arrange your movies alphabetically that way.
    But if you want to alert Apple to your idea, then use this link:

  • Front Row not showing playlists

    On my MacBook I have my playlists in iTunes in folders. In Front Row all the folders show up under playlists, and when selected they show the playlists in them, EXCEPT for the first folder of playlists - it lists all the songs in all the playlists within that folder instead.
    Anyone else had this problem? Any solution?

    I have this same problem. My guess is that everyone does, whether they know it or not.
    My 'workaround' is to create a folder with a name that will make it always first, and put in some playlists that you don't care are not displayed in sub-playlists in Front Row.
    I know, weak workaround, but at least the folders that do matter will show up properly.
    Was hoping latest Front Row update (1.3) would fix this, but problem still there.

  • Podcast episodes not updating correctly in iTunes

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with my podcast episodes not updating correctly in iTunes.  The last 5 episodes I published appeared in iTunes at the bottom of the episode list, as if they were old episodes--i.e., they appear as if they were the first 5 episodes published.  They also do not have a date assigned to them as the rest of the episodes do.  They were not distributed to podcast subscribers, possibly because iTunes is not recognizing them as new episodes.
    Here is my podcast feed: http://ic.instantcustomer.com/instantcasts/feed/podcast/5047174b90f14efe542431c2 674b1bd9
    And here is the link to my podcast in iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/small-business-marketing-minute/id896451432
    The problem began with last Wednesday's episode, which was Episode 30, and has continued ever since.  I did not do anything differently when I published that episode than I did when I published the previous 29 episodes, and those updated just fine, or at least seemed to as far as I could tell (i.e., they appeared correctly on iTunes, and appeared as a new episode for me as a podcast subscriber).  Also, after examining the rss feed, I could not see any difference between episodes 1-29 and episodes 30--34, at least as far as the way the feed was formatted.  So, I have no idea what triggered the problem, and no idea how to fix it.  If I can't resolve the issue then I think I'll have to abandon the podcast, since there's no point in publishing a podcast that doesn't distribute new episodes to subscribers. 
    If anyone can shed light on this problem for me, it would be most appreciated.     Thanks!
    -Kevin

    As you say, in the Store the latest episodes don't show a publishing date. When subscribing in iTunes, none of the episodes show a publishing date, and they are listed in the order they appear in the feed.
    In the feed, none of your episodes has a 'pubDate' tag, which is where iTunes gets the date from. Since most of the episodes in the Store have a date, it looks as if originally your episodes had this tag, but that five episodes back you did something in whatever method you are using to create your feed which removed these tags: the Store is presumably getting the dates from its cache since the episodes haven't changed, but obviously doesn't have the dates for the last 5 episodes.

  • IPhoto events not syncing correctly with iPhone

    Hello,
    Basically, my iPhoto events are not syncing correctly with my iPhone. Some events will sync, whereas others won't, though no error messages are ever displayed.
    I have all my photos, 961 photos in 34 events, organised in iPhoto, however iTunes doesn't seem to recognise all of these events, only reporting 881 photos. I've got iTunes set up to "Sync photos from iPhoto - All events" and this works for most events, but not all.
    On my iPhone, I can tell which events are missing, but no matter how many times I restart my Mac or sync my iPhone, it refuses to sync the few missing albums. There is over 4Gb of available space left on the iPhone, so this shouldn't be an issue.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Peter.

    Any ideas, please? I hope I explained my issue clearly enough.
    Thank you,
    Peter.

  • Front Row unable to read from itunes library

    ok, i have been trying to figure this out but it seems that front row cant read from my itunes library.
    I have tried closing itunes and it doesnt do anything. I get the error that i must add stuff to itunes. any ideas?

    Hi Chris
    I found a workaround, but it's quite painful to use it if you have, like me, a lot of different folders.
    In fact, the best solution is to clean up your iPhoto Library by running iPhoto from the Dock while holding Alt. You can create a fresh new library and start all over again.
    Then, try to import only ONE folder at a time. Eventually, you will have to repeat that as many times as needed. But, at least, iPhoto should still be working fine (you can organize your folders just as you would have done before), and you should start seeing some folders in Front Row.
    Note that iTunes works exactly the same way: if you want to group some playlists within a folder, Front Row won't be able to show them!
    Hope this helps.

  • Front row doesn't work with both apple+esc and remote

    My new macbook can't open front row, not with the remote, and with apple+esc, could it be a file that i have to delete and then restart the computer and that that file automatic comes back??

    If, for whatever reason, Front Row isn't in that location, you'll have to re-install it. This shouldn't be a big deal except I'd be a little curious to know why it disappeared...
    Insert your original Mac OS X install disk that came with your Mac. You do not need to startup from the disk. Double-click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" option on the disk. At the "Installation Type" window of this installer, click the "Customize" button. This will give you a list of software to check on or check off. Check on the option for Front Row but uncheck everything else (unless there's something else missing that you need!). Run the installer and this should put Front Row back in its proper location. Depending on which version gets installed, you may wan to run the Software Update to make sure Front Row is up-to-date.

    My iPhone 5S suddenly will not sync calendars with iTunes on my iMAC.  I recently upgraded the iMAC to version 10.8.5.  Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    Hey Oynkus,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You state you updated your iMac to OS X 10.8.5.  Did you update iTunes as well?
    If so, you may find the calendar sync options under Info.
    Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad - iTunes Help

  • Navigation Drop Down Menu Does Not Appear Correctly with Internet Explorer.

    Website was designed with Dreamweaver CS5 on a Mac. The navigation drop down menu does not appear correctly with Internet Explorer. When you mouse over a navigation option that has a drop-down menu, the drop-down portion appears on top of the first level. Hope someone can help me out.Thanks!

    Hi,
    and you should then iron out this minor inaccuracy, which I found in your source code, for example here:
    <div align="center"><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="hays.html">HAYS</a>
            <ul>
              <li><a href="hayswalkingtour.html">Walking Tour</a> </li>
              <li><a href="forthays.html">Fort Hays</a></li>
            </ul>
    All your "first" entries have to show a '#", like this:
          <div align="center"><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">HAYS</a>
            <ul>
              <li><a href="hayswalkingtour.html">Walking Tour</a> </li>
              <li><a href="forthays.html">Fort Hays</a></li>
            </ul>
          </div>
    after that you can link to the individual subgroups. See here e.g. (screenshots from my German DW):
