Front Row on Mavericks?

Hey I now have Mavericks and I used to have Mountain Lion and I remeber I found some way to enable Front Row.... I used it a lot in Mountain Lion but is there a way to make it work in Mavericks as well? I have the icon still in my applications but when I go to open it looks as if its about to but then really does nothing...please help!
Thank you,
Derrik

   Yes, Front Row works great with Mavrick 10.9.2
Copy these files from a snow-leopard installation (e.g. your backup) to the appropriate folders in Mavrick 10.9.2:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.framework
Confirm the copy process by typing in your password when required. You can then change the icon Apple Script  to Front Row's icon.
Open Apple Script Editor and type in:
#launch Front Row
tell application "/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app"
  launch
end tell
tell application "System Events"
  key code 53
end tell

  • Lost FRONT ROW after completing download of OS Mavericks. How can I recover FRONT ROW?

    Have eventually managed to download Mavericks on my 2009 macbook ( at 2am!!!). Installation fine BUT I no longer have FRONT ROW on my system. Is this a gremlin?  How can I get it back? All assistance greatly appreciated.

    Front Row was withdrawn with the introduction of Lion as it does not officially work with later versions of OS X. Apple prefer you to use AppleTV.
    Other threads here suggest a way of having Front Row with Mavericks. I have no idea of they work.

  • I upgraded to OS X  Mavericks however I cannot access Front Row

    Hi,
    I used to be able to call up the menu screen on our iMac using the remote, however I cannot do this any more.
    My daughter upgraded our system to OS X Mavericks and now I cannot access Front Row.
    The Red Chair icon is not in our applications list either
    I tried to download an update to Front Row and the message reads that this update require Front Row so it can update.
    I cannot find Front Row anywhere.
    If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    The $99 alternative to Front Row is the AppleTV box.  You connect it to an HDMI port on your TV and to the internet either wirelessly or wired.
    You turn on Home Sharing on both iTunes and AppleTV and you will have access to all of the compatible media from your computer while iTunes is running
    If you have an iPhone or iPad and depending upon the age of your iMac, it supports AirPlay, which will "move" the media you are watching from these devices to your TV through the AppleTV.  If your iMac is too old, look at Air Parrot.
    In addition to access to the iTunes Store, AppleTV gives you many extras, such as subscription required services such as Netflix, HBOGO, PBS, Smithsonian, and many more that do not require a subscription (for example, when travelling I watch the NBC Nightly News as a free Podcast).

  • Front Row on Snow Leopard has audio out of sync on movies and TV shows and some movies wont show images.

    I have an iMac Core Duo 2GHz (yes, first Intel iMac). I have Snow Leopard v10.6.8 (latest/last MacOS version I could load) with the most recent Security Update (2013-003).
    I have two issues with Front Row:
    • Some of the movie files will not show the images, but I can hear the audio.
    • On other movies and TV shows they start fine, but within a few minutes the audio is out of sync with the images, running about 3-5 seconds ahead... Looks like a bad dub of a Japanese movie from the 60s.
    Now, I know it's related to Front Row, because when I jump over to iTunes and start the same movie or TV show it begins where I left off in Front Row, but images are fine and audio is suddenly in-sync.
    However, with Snow Leopard being 2 major upgrades back - 3 if you count the upcoming Mavericks release - I doubt this registers as a "brouhaha" on Apple's radar screens. Then, again, maybe the spirit of Steve won't tolerate this Microsoft-like quirk, even if my iMac is still chugging along after 7 years and multiple MacOS X upgrades & updates...

    I think I found my answer... or culprit. It has to do with Snow Leopard, and my iMac Core Duo, being the last of the dying breed of 32-bit systems, and that iTunes v11.x is 64-bit (heavily, at least)...
    Guess I need to break down and replace my 7 year old iMac, even though it still works beautifully (otherwise).

  • Is there a way to open Front Row without the remote?

    I wonder, is there some keyboard shortcut that will open front row?
    I ask because a while ago I was about to force-quit an application(cmdoptesc), and then I cancelled(esc) that and toggled to another application's window(cmd+tab), etc., all of this using only the keyboard. But because of the application that wasn't working right, things got slow, and after waiting a couple of seconds for the other window to appear... Fron Row just appeared in front of me!!!
    I don't know if it was some keyboard shortcut that i accidentally pressed, or just a bug. Does enyone know?

    Command + Escape
    arrow keys
    return
    and escape to bail
    good luck

  • How Do I Use An External Drive Folder For Front Row???

    oh man thank you so much i was having a brain **** about how to run them on front row. I can't believe i didn;t think about that.
    Thank you again

  • Remote for front row

    I just upgraded to Leopard and was checking out Front Row. I can use the arrow keys to navigate but since I am on a Powerbook I have no remote or sensor to pickup one. I am curious if there are third-party remotes available for older Macs. I have an EyeTV Hybrid which came with a remote. Is it possible to use something like this with Front Row?

    I too have a Powerbook running Frontrow and I just bought this off eBay for cheap. http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/errf1/ this is a remote made by Keyspan for Frontrow.

  • How to Delete Item from Front Row?

    Someone sent me a short imovie project and it was automatically downloaded to my "Download" folder. When I opened Front Row, the project name it's right under "Movies" along with "iTunes Top Movies", "Theatrical Trailers" and "Movie Folder".
    I then moved the project file from "Download" to another folder created under my "Movie" folder. When I went to Front Row again, the original project was still under the list in Movies, now it's also in "Movies Folder". So basically it's showing up twice in Front Row in different places.
    I see that once I play the movie from my Movies folder directly from the folder, it's automatically set to Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Movies. So it's showing up in Front Row via iTunes, and it's also showing in Front Row via my Movies Folder.
    I just want to organize Front Row so that I don't have a long list of projects immediately under "Movies" in Front Row. I want these projects to neatly go in one personal movie folder only.
    Is there a way to reorganize the items list in Front Row?
    How do I delete the item that's originally placed under "Movies" in Front Row?

    Assets are organized in various apps - primarily iTunes for most of us.

  • How can I move Front Row to a different display?

    I love using Front Row with my MacBook, but I'd love it even more if I could move Front Row from my main display on my laptop onto my second display--a TV screen. I own a Apple mini-DVI to RCA & S-video adapter, and I use this to connect to my TV screen. Obviously, I can get Front Row on my TV screen by turning on Mirror Displays or setting the TV screen as my main screen (dragging the menu bar icon to the second display in the Displays system preference), but both these methods require me to sacrifice use of my desktop on my laptop while I use Front Row.
    Simply put, can I possibly (even sneakily) move Front Row to my second display? Thanks for any help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, since Front Row has no preferences you can actually change, there's no way to change the screen now. (Besides the work arounds you've already discovered.) I would send Apple some Mac OS X feedback (since Front Row is considered part of OS X, not a stand-alone application) and let them know you'd like to be able specify the screen. You're not the first person here to ask for that option.

  • MBP Clamshell Mode - DVI to TV Adapter - Front Row Works - But No Video?

    Hi all,
    Have picked up an Apple DVI to TV adapter for my MB Pro. Have successfully got it to work in clamshell mode displaying Front Row on the TV without the external Mouse or keyboard.
    However, it will not play videos or movies on the TV.
    If I keep the lid open, it will play the video/movie on both displays as hoped. However, when I close the lid, all other Front Row stuff works - but no video picture! Is this some sort of overlay issue? How can I fix this? I do NOt want to burn my LCD when using it this way - would be a waste.
    Please pass on any thoughts!
    Thanks,
    Stu

    I also have this exact same problem. A little annoying since I have just spent $A35 on the mini dvi to dvi adapter and another $A50 on a good quality DVI cable. My LCD tv is set to millions of colors so that is not the issue.
    I have a 2.0Ghz Core2Duo Macbook. A quick google search If anyone knows how to fix it I'd be very grateful.

  • Can I use Front Row with my Macbook closed?

    I just got a mini-dvi to video cable for my macbook. I love using front row with it but I was wondering if there was a way that you could use front row with the laptop closed. Oh and I'm using tiger, so its not the new version of front row.

    With your computer attached to a keyboard you should be able to wake it from sleep and run it properly with the lid closed.

  • Why does front row keep on pausing playback?

    I'm using my LCD tv as an extended display and as the main desktop. I freshly reinstalled SL and updated it to 10.6.5. Front row keeps on pausing the playback randomly. Note that its not stuttering. As soon as I hit Play on my apple remote, it resumes playback.
    any guesses?

    I realized that every time I open front row empty "iTunes Music" folder is created even I have "iTunes Media" folder in use. Anyone have any idea how to solve this? I tried to remove Frontrow.plist files but that does not help. I think this could be related to this issue since it is not happening on my other mac which is not having any front row problems...

  • Why do I get a black screen in front row when watching some iTunes store purchases? esp Cars 2

    We bought Cars 2 a few months ago from the iTunes store. The movie won't work in Front Row, we only get a black screen (except for the blue Front Row controls at the bottom) although the audio comes through just fine. The annoying part is all of our other iTunes store movies work fine in Front Row. Just Cars 2 is broken. I don't think that it is an authorisation problem because it plays okay in iTunes, Quicktime, even via airplay to an appleTV or via Home Sharing to our iPad.
    The movie is only standard definition so I am guessing that it is not an HDCP issue; I understand that there is only HDCP on HD movies. We are playing it on a Mac Mini (core 2 duo) on a Sony Bravia via a VGA connector.
    After a little bit of complaining, apple let us download the movie again in case the file was corrupted, but unfortunately the same problem with the new version.
    The computer did have Perian installed at one point, but uninstalling and restarting made no difference.
    I have found lots of reports of movies with missing picture in Front Row but these are all ripped videos, never with an iTunes Store purchase.
    Apple won't refund our money as the purchase was more than 60 days ago by the time I gave up troubleshooting and reported the problem.

    Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
    Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
    Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
    Great to have the Video back
