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 Incorrectly Reads iTunes Metadata under Snow Leopard?

    There is a serious problem with Front Row under Snow Leopard. The program is unable to correctly read the TV metadata from iTunes and does not correctly filter/organize the data. TV episode/season/title data is not read resulting in a completely disorganized library. All files are viewd as "movies" whether they have been tagged as TV shows or not. I had a sizable libray of videos that was perfectly organized under Tiger. Under Snow Leopard my entire database has been blown up- most TV shows appear as "Untitled". I'm sure they are MacMini users who have integrated their computers into their media playback systema s I have and am hoping Apple will provide a fix for this issue which totally undercuts one of the main reasons for integrating the Mini into one's home theatre system. Does any have a fix or simple work around. Come on Apple-- don't turn into Microsoft on me!

    I recently purchased a used iMac (from 2006), that the previous owner had upgraded to Snow Leopard. I already have a MacBook Pro. To explain, I purchased the iMac to set it up as a media center computer, connected to my external hard drive and synced with AppleTV. I used Migration Assistant to move my files onto the iMac, but Front Row is now showing all the errors you described.
    1. It is VERY slow to open. Clicking Menu on the remote, and you wait 15 seconds or more for Front Row to open.
    2. Even though iTunes is directed to my external hard drive, Front Row shows Source as my Macbook Pro.
    3. TV shows are out of order. On my Macbook Pro (10.5.8) all shows are listed from first to last, from top to bottom. On the iMac (10.6.4) they are listed last to first, top to bottom.
    4. Some TV shows that are clearly in iTunes (purchased from iTunes) do not appear in Front Row at all.
    5. The unwatched content blue dot remains even after watching something all the way through to the end. After watching them in Front Row, iTunes does not show them as watched either, but instead has the half blue dot, as if they were unfinished.
    6. iTunes is also badly affected: I now have a large number of TV shows in the Movies section, and attempts to reorganize them in the folders on the external where they are store fails. It's a complete mess, and it seems like its deliberate that we cannot reorganize it ourselves.
    So what used to be a very lovely program has become a horribly messy, PC like, application. Which made the whole point of setting up a special computer just for media a total waste of time and money with Snow Leopard installed.
    If a fix is not forthcoming, I'm probably going to uninstall Snow Leopard, and reinstall Leopard. Everything worked fine there for me.

  • Front Row doesn't see content on iPod

    Is there a way to configure Front Row to play back content that is on a connected iPod? I have videos and music on my iPod, and I would love to be able to play this content with front row.

    I don't know if I am allowed to say this on here...
    There is software available which allows you to copy all of the content from your iPod back onto your computer. The name of the software is eluding me now, but I'm sure I originally found this out on these forums. So do a search and maybe something will show up. It is possible though! (Not through the use of iTunes).
    I would also like to be able to browse iPod content through Front Row. I have all my music on my Mac Pro, and none of my laptop. So if I ever want to use Front Row with my laptop its quite pointless really... would be cool to see this happening!!
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • AppleTV not showing non-synced content since upgrade to iTunes 8.1.0.52

    Prior to upgrading to 8.1, my non-synced content showed on my AppleTV (when iTunes was open on my computer). Following the upgrade, the only content showing on the AppleTV is content that is synced to it.
    iTunes can see the AppleTV and I can sync content to it. Under "Settings" for the AppleTV I have "Custom Sync" selected and the "Show only synced content on my AppleTV" box is not checked.
    Any ideas how I can get non-synced content to show again in the AppleTV?

    That's exactly what I did, it took ~20sec to complete the "apply to enclosed items" command (there was heavy disk access), but it does not improve. The permissions stay the same for the files/folders in question. It's very odd, have a look at the screenshot:
    Some folders have correct permissions, others (to which I have no access through iTunes) show "admin" twice as the only user who is allowed to write. Repair permission does not help. I have hundreds of files/folders where permissions are wrong, only since the upgrade recently.

  • 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 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.

  • RHX5 showing non-existent style

    We imported two Word docs, using the same style sheet both in
    the doc and in RH. All the styles are fine in both docs, except for
    one style. Doc A shows a good style "InstructionIndent", but in Doc
    B, the RH style field shows that RH has seen the same style as
    "INSTRUCTION". The css has been applied to all chapters. The style
    looks fine in the original Word doc.
    1) Does the all caps font of INSTRUCTIONS mean something
    special in RH, such as a non-existent style?
    2) Do I need to change all of these styles manually, or is
    there an easier way?
    Thank you,

    If you do not want this Business System to be a part of the New transport, i.e, you do not need this Business System in your transport, then my gut feel here is that one of your Config Scenarios still contines to use this Business System or,

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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

  • OEM discovery - shows non-existing DBs

    Hello All:
    When i try to discover a node/host , OEM discovers non-existing databases as partially configured. These databases have been deleted a while ago. How do we clear them? oratab doesn't have entries for these databases.
    Thanks
    S~

    There arent any refs in listner.ora of those deleted dbs. I changed the tns_admin from $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin to $ORACLE_BASE/admin/SID/tns_admin as i am using a wallet. This may have probably introduced the confusion.
    Thanks

  • Excel Filter Shows Non Existent Missing Members How to Remove them?

    I have a tabular model cube in SSAS 2012 I am adding a filter to my excel pivot table and it shows a blank member that does not exist.  If I use a slicer I can "hide empty members" but when I use a filter there is no such option.  Is
    there a way to remove this selection for an empty member?

    Hi Jimlaf,
    In your scenario, you connect to a SQL Server Analysis Server Tabular model cube in Excel. It shows a blank member that does not exist in the filter, however the empty member were hidden automatically in the slicer. Now what you want is removing the empty
    members in filter, right?
    I have tested it on my local environment, I got the same results with yours. And based on my research, it seems that this is the default setting, there is no such an option to remove the empty members in filter.
    If I have anything misunderstood, please point it out. Thank you for your understanding.
