Front Row shows artist names twice

Hi,
I seem to have a re-appearing problem. I have an artist that has his name appearing twice in the Front Low artist list although in iTunes both of the albums (2 altogether) are under one artist name. I checked the actual files in iTunes folder and there is only 1 folder with the artist name..puzzled ??
is there a preference or something like that, that could cause the Front Row
so the artsit name twice ? Is there a way to check what artist names are
in a list that iTunes checks when it "guesses" what artist your about to write
in the data field ??
Thanks

I do have an iPod but none of these albums are synced there.
The Front Row list is my whole collection on a seperate account.
In fact I'm sure that the reason I have this trouble is this account as
I'm constantly mirroring my whole collection on 2 different Macs. I keep ripping on another Mac and then transering the audio files + the 2 iTunes data files
to the other Mac. I don't think it is misspelling AFAIK this should lead to two almost identically named artist folders and I have only one. Also like I said, I already sorted this out a month ago or so but now it seems to have re-appeared
in Front Row.

Front Row show iPhoto Movies?

As you know, iPhoto stores not only your photos, but any movies you've taken with your digital camera. Front Row shows all these photos, but it doesn't show the movies. Why is that?
You could of course import your digital camera movies into iTunes, but that gets a bit weird, because then you've got them stored twice, once in your iPhoto Library, and once in your iTunes Library. And with these AVI movies being mostly uncompressed, it can really eat up your hard drive storing them once, let alone twice!

If your movies play with the QuickTime Player program outside of iPhoto, then Front Row will be able to show them. The "Movies" section of Front Row only looks inside your "Movies" folder in your home folder for files. If you make an alias from the iPhoto library of your movie file into the "Movies" folder, then Front Row should be able to see them and play them. Remember, if you drag an item (or some items) while holding down on the Apple and "option" keys (it may be "alt" on a non-North American keyboard), you will create an alias where you drop the items instead of moving them. That might help you move several of them or even the folder they're in to your "Movies" folder.

When some one calls the caller ID shows the name twice as we'll as when I receive texts it shows up twice. I'm sure it's a simple setting issue. Any thoughts ???

have the same issue on my 9630 after upgrading to 624 version. It momentarily shows the previously callers information before showing the new caller's info.

Front Row showing inexistent movie files

I've had some movie file in the Movies folder that showed up in the Front Row list in Movies, under the line underneath Theatrical Trailers and Movies Folder.
I have deleted the files from the folder and secure emptied the trash but they're still on the list in Front Row.
How is that possible and how can I make them disappear from there ?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
No, Front Row should search in both locations. Music videos, movies and TV shows that appear in those categories in iTunes and are saved in your iTunes library should appear in Front Row under the "Videos" option. Also, any individual movie files (that can be played with the QuickTime Player application) that live inside your <Macintosh HD>/Users/<your user name>/Movies/ should also appear in Front Row, but they won't be categorized as "TV shows" or "Music Videos" like they are in iTunes.
Can you play your videos in your "Movies" folder with the QuickTime Player application by double-clicking on them? If not, then they won't appear to Front Row.

Front Row Shows Deleted Content

I recently moved all of my content from my Powerbook to my iMac. I had deleted many things before even starting the process.
The other day, I was in Front Row and noticed that many of the movies in the Movies section were previously deleted. Why are they still showing up? They are inactive, and show "no content found" error messages.
FYI, I checked other posts of similar types. These files are not iTunes movies and never were cataloged as such.
How do I delete them from the list and out of my life?
thanks.
benson

Yep, same here -- this happened after a Time Machine restore after I had to replace an external drive that I kept my iTunes library on. I didn't have my podcasts backed up (naturally) so the iTunes library file still had all of the old podcast entries even though the files no longer existed.
However, since then, I have pruned and updated all of the podcasts sources so they are empty/list only the files that are on disk. But Front Row lists them all, as they were before the crash and the subsequent editing! (And accessing them gives me the "No content found" error, too.)
So yes, I'm ALSO looking for a way to reset Front Row and have it refresh to show the same list that I can see in iTunes.

Does your front row show the Applications playlist?

My Front Row has some bugs, I think.
Inside Music->Playlists, the following are listed but do not show their contents:
Applications
Library
TV Shows
But Applications shouldn't be there and TV shows already shows up in the main front row menu.
As for Library, this is my entire iTunes library. does anyone have this issue:?

If your movies play with the QuickTime Player program outside of iPhoto, then Front Row will be able to show them. The "Movies" section of Front Row only looks inside your "Movies" folder in your home folder for files. If you make an alias from the iPhoto library of your movie file into the "Movies" folder, then Front Row should be able to see them and play them.

Front Row shows Aperture projects in different order than Aperture does

I have a bunch of projects, carefully organized in such a way that I can find them easily. Front Row just seems to display them ordered randomly.
Anyone aware of a fix for this?

Johnathan Burger wrote:
2) Did you add track #'s?
Yeah. I made 5 short videos, and set then as "1 of 5" "2 of 5" etc.
I can't understand why it's out of order in Front Row.
As for question 1, the weird thing is when the genre was set to "documentary and drama" it was in TV Shows on Front Row, but when I changed it to just "drama" now it's in the movie section... weird, but that's fixed now.

Get Artists and show Artist Name as string

Hi
I'm using VS2013, EF6, WPF
I have tables Media, MediaArtists, Artists
MediaArtist is a bridge table that use MediaId and ArtistId. it's mean that every Media has more Artists.
dbContext db = new dbContext();
mediumDataGrid.ItemsSource = db.Media.Select(m => new{
m.MediaId,
m.Title,
m.LastPlayedDate,
????m.MediaArtists.Select(a => Artist)????
}).ToList();
I want to get the Artists "Name" and show in gridview as Artist1, Artist2, Artist3
can you please let me know how do that?
thanks

Hello Zorig,
It seems that you are trying to perform a group by comma list in linq, if you data is not larger, you could use the LINQ2Object as below:
var result = db.X.ToList().Select(x => new { XID = x.XID, XName = x.XName, YNames = string.Join(",", x.Y.Select(y => y.XName)) }).ToList();
If data is large, you could check the workaround from Emran Hussain:
http://stackoverflow.com/a/25676673
Or to use store produce for a complex query instead.

IPhone 5 not showing artist name under each track in album view page like it used to

Hi. My iphone 5 is upto date software wise etc. When I go into music and select an album I get the track listing but no artist name under each track. All my music is correctly coded and it used to show up previously. Is this a change in the software or am I missing something? It's really annoying if you open a compilation as you have a track list but no way of knowing the artist unless you play the track.
Please help.

Hello Jimmy362,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Another poster on the Apple Support Communities had the same question about music on their iPod, and marked the post as solved:

Front Row shows non-existent content under Podcasts

This occurs when I access my Podcasts from Front Row. In addition to my current content, I see entries for old podcasts that were long ago unsubscribed and deleted. They don't appear in iTunes or any of my iDevices, only in Front Row. How do I update Front Row with the fact that these podcasts no longer exist in my iTunes library?

I found the answer elsewhere here. Sorry, I lost the link to it. But the steps are to first create a Smart Playlist in iTunes, with the criteria set to pull up the offending "ghost" conent. Lo and behold, mine did in fact appear. Then, select the content, hold down the Option key, and press the Delete key to delete it (really delete it, not just the "pointer" to it in the playlist).
This worked for me. And I also didn't know about Option-Delete, which is quite handy.

Front Row shows songs in Japanese!

Hi,
it is a bit strange, in the "music" part of Front Row, the 2 first element are in Japanese... and if I go inside I have a selection of best songs in Japanese (well, that's my guess :P)... I have nothing against Japanese, but isn't there a way to correct that? I'd like to have the best songs in France for instane..
I have an iMac bought in Spain, but configured in French... can that be an explanation???
Hep!!

Those are the "Top 10" songs from the Japanese iTunes store. For some reason, Front Row thinks you've selected the Japanese store in your iTunes. You can probably fix this by deleting your Front Row preferences. This may be trickier than expected though, as Front Row seems to "cache" or save this setting in memory. I would suggest you log out and log back in (to make sure no Front Row process is running in the background). Delete the Front Row .plist file in this path:
<Macintosh HD>/Users/<YourUsersShortName>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
Then log out right away and log back in. Is it fixed now?

Can Front Row show Chapter Markers?

Hi,
We LOVE Front Row! Elegant, stunning, very well done. We have high definition movies with chapter markers and have put them in our iTunes Library. Front Row sees them and plays them in HiDef.
Beautiful . . . we can even jump to the next chapter marker (even go backwards to the previous marker) by clicking the right or left arrow. BUT . . . is there any way at all to be able to "see" all the chapter markers in the movie - so you can click one that's NOT the next consecutive chapter? Like with QuickTime, you can see a little box in the lower right corner and select any Chapter you want. Can Front Row do this?
Thanks VERY much for any thoughts.
Larry

Thank you, Douglas. You've confirmed what we thought! I was hoping there might be a way, but alas - I guess not

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 (with itunes 10) does not show moves from shared library

I have two computers. My office computer contains all of my iTunes content, running iTunes 10. I have a mac mini connected to my television, and my intent is to use Front Row to access the shared library from the office computer. The problem is, when using front Row only a small number of my TV shows and none of my movies appear. I have checked the sharing settings on the source computer.

Exact same problem here.
It has been working fine doing this for years, then around a month ago after no changes to either machine that I know of, about half the content vanished when viewing a shared library.
I seem to have also worsened the issue by trashing and rebuilding the iTunes library from scratch. Since at least before doing this I had some of my Movies and TV shows show, but not all, now I seem to have a tiny amount of movies and none of the TV shows listed.
Checking on the source computer in front row shows all of them present as expected. Completely baffled by this. None of them are showing under odd sections (Say in Music rather than TV Shows) either so I know the meta-data isn't at fault.

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.
