Front Row SlideShow - best option?

I am creating a slideshow and am using FR. I chose FR instead of an iPhoto slideshow as I needed to put words along w/ the photo's. I also have it set to music. Two questions: is this really the best way for me to do this - my MBPro will be hooked up to a projector where the project will be projected onto a screen.
Second, I created the project on my iMac Intel and need to get it into the MBPro...it is 21MB. Best way to do this?
Thanks in advance! Karen

Hi Karen,
I don't have enough practical experience using FR to answer your first question. But as to the second question from your desktop press Command + K and then select browse from the button at the bottom. Then what you will need to do is use connect as and use your username and password you use on the imac. Then just navigate to the folder on your imac with the file and drag and drop to desktop or a folder you have created for it. Hope this helps.

  • Front Row slideshow Help!

    Is there any way to change the default '3 seconds' used for Front Row slideshows? I want to do this without specifically creating a slideshow in iPhoto to change the slide time.
    As a related matter, can the default slideshow settings be changed for iPhoto also?
    My Mom has an iMac and I'd like her to be able to use Front Row to view her iPhoto pics. But 3 seconds is way too fast for her sight, so I need to figure out a fix for this!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

  • Front Row, slideshow & music

    While using Front Row to play a slideshow, the same song always plays. I can't find any way to set the music to the slideshow. Can anyone help on this problem?

    Hi Ray,
    In iPhoto, click on slide show. On the bottom bar you´ll see an icon for iTunes which lets you set the music.

  • Front Row Slideshow Music Problem

    Hello:
    I have been unable to change the Photo Slideshow music in Front Row. I go into iPhoto, select SlideShow and select my music, but it does not seem to save it to Front Row. I've even tried making my selections as "default" but it doesn't work.
    I've tried repairing permissions on my disk, and there do seem to be problems with Front Row. However, no matter how many times I repair, the permissions still persist. Log file below
    Can anyone offer any tips to a newbie (recently switched from a PC.)
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Thanks; that's a relief, though the permissions that are referenced in the thread you pointed out (that can be safely ignored) seem to me mostly related to iPhoto Access and not Front Row (I seem to have both Front Row and iPhoto permission problems.)
    So, can anyone offer any suggestions on how to change my music in Front Row's Slide Show?

  • 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.

  • Front Row: missing resume option

    There's a serious issue with front Row... whoever decided what to put in the new Front Row forgot to add a "resume video" option. So now you have to start the movie from the beginning and go all the way forward (there used to be an option in Tiger to resume or play from the beginning)

    Ok, I think I've got a handle on what's happening. It gets a little circular, especially the inconsitancies between iTunes movie playback and front row movie playback.
    Here is my situation:
    All of my Movies in iTunes are QT reference movies. They are all saved with the playhead at the poster frame, ie. some random time in the film. This was so that in the old front row the preview would start at the poster frame, not at the beginning of the film where the production company stuff is. In iTunes under options, all Movies have "Remember playback position" checked. The start times and end times are 0 and the end of the film respectively. Though, checking the boxes next to the start times and end times seems to have no effect and isn't saved when you close the window. Maybe i don't understand the functionality of those two settings. Anyway.
    It appears that Front Row will still remember your playback position, but only if you are more that 5 seconds into the film. If you stop a movie earlier than 5 seconds in, front row sets the resume playback position to the position of the playhead in the saved QT file (not the beginning for me). It does not however set the bit to prompt the user to resume the next time the movie is played in front row. So stop before 5 sec, hit play again, playback jumps immediately to the poster frame, no prompt. I know that the position is saved upon stopping the movie because if i stop before 5 seconds and then quit front row and play the same movie in iTunes, playback begins at the poster frame. If i let it go for more than 5 sec in front row, playback in iTunes resumes at that point. This is all repeatable.
    Going the other way -- resuming movies that were last played in iTunes in front row. This works, but is also buggy.
    This is all a result of separating front row from iTunes. Something in my opinion apple never should have done. It is the root of most of the new problems with front row. In tiger i spent the time orgainizing my TV shows exactly the way iTunes and front row wanted them, name, season number, episode number. New front row says "f" that, how about reverse chronological for everything?!?! You may not be able to find the next episode of a show you wanna watch, but you get to that realization in less than three clicks! Apple: sacrificing mantra for usability. Honestly though, I don't think they really put that much thought into it. This is a secondary app that not many people use on an OS that was way behind and needed to hit an already extended launch date. They probably just dragged it over from apple TV, saw that it started and said thats that.
    good luck

  • Front Row Slideshow "Tearing"

    I updated my Front Row as per Software Update. Since the update I have had a video "tearing" effect during slideshow transitions. Lines appear in the pictures as it transitions from one photo to the next. It is a really sloppy update. Is there a way to downgrade to the previous version? Or does anyone know of a fix due out?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I'm not seeing this same problem on my MacBook. I can try on a 20" 2.4GHz iMac at work on Monday. This problem would seem to be specific to your Mac, the update may have revealed a previously unknown problem. Do you see the same or similar problem if you run a slideshow inside iPhoto? What about if you use the Preview application with a couple of pictures? Did you also update QuickTime? Which version of iPhoto do you have? (Is it version 6 from iLife '06 or version 7 from iLife '08? Is it also up-to-date?)

  • How to Pacifist install Front Row

    cant seem to find it anywhere using Pacifist - which bundle/ where ?
    TIA

    In Mac OS X 10.4.x, Front Row was an application that lived only in this path:
    /System/Library/Core Services/Front Row.app
    The best way to get it back would be to insert your original Mac OS X install disk and run the "Install Bundled Software Only" option. Front Row is an option you can specifically check "on".

  • Watching dvds in front row = displays sleeps

    hi all - i gots the following problem
    watching dvds in front row = displays sleeps - or at least dulls back until i use the trackpad to wake it
    i assumed that this would not be issue with front row as it would be obvious that i wanted the dvd shown full screen - any ideas?

    Wow, I never found this before. I played the dvd in front row on best performance (battery setting) and the display went black. I closed front row and opened it in dvd player and it played for 15 min and never went black.
    Any way I went into energy saver and adjusted custom to never turn off display then opened front row. That seems to have worked.

  • ITunes U and Front Row?

    I can't seem to see my iTunes U videos and audio files with Front Row.
    Under 'Options' I have 'iTunes U' selected as media type.
    In 'Front Row' I can see an 'iTunes U' playlist... but it's empty.
    Any help greatly appreciated. If all else fails I'll just change the 'Media Type' to 'Movies' but I'd like a better solution.
    Thanks

    One way to have iTunes U inside Front Row is to create an "alias" of the iTunes U folder inside the Movies folder so it will appear inside the Movies Folder menu.
    This way I have avoided to turn all of my iTunes U downloads into Podcasts and still continue having new downloads available without any pain.
    Guys, let me know if there is an easier way.

  • Front Row 2.0; no music during slideshow?

    Would I be right in thinking that Front Row 2.0 has removed the option of playing iTunes Music whilst viewing an iPhoto slide show?

    So I just have the same problem? Is thier anyone who has emailed Apple to see if they know how to fix this?
    I play a slideshow in iPhoto and all the iTunes that I have CHECKED and are in that playlist will play.
    However - in Front Row the same slide show that I created in iPhoto will not play any music. For some reason it used to play only ONE of the songs - which was the 1st song in the play list - and then it would repeat it. So me being me.. stubborn..I kept trying to get it to play all the songs in the playlist (by friggin with iTunes setting and iPhoto settings) and NOW I have no music what-so-ever, not even the sample music.
    Any one have any ideas? This really bugs me, and yep - I know that I can simply play the show in iPhoto - but man it is nice to use that remote and have things simply work..
    Anyone?
    Thanks!

  • Slideshows are Choppy in Front Row

    Hi all, thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
    I can view slideshows smoothly when played directly from iphoto. However, when I view the same slideshow from within Front Row, there is a slow down when transitioning from one image to the next. This means the show gets out of sync with the music. I use the slideshows for my business, so this is unacceptable.
    I'm fairly certain that this started happening with I upgraded to from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
    Any ideas on what I could try to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you also inquired over in the Front Row forum? Your situation hasn't been discussed before here as far as I can tell.
    Try clearing out iPhoto's cache folder, User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto, and rebuild the library's database, backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
    Click to view full size
    See if that makes any difference.
    If the slideshows are critical you might want to consider creating them as QT movies so the music stays in sync and playing the movies in Front Row.

  • Assigning a music playlist to a slideshow -- similar to Front Row

    I don't yet have a AppleTV, but considering one -- the main reason is to view photos. With Front Row, say you create "slideshow A" with music from an iTunes playlist "set A" and "slideshow B" with music from playlist "set B". When you play back "slideshow A" you'll always hear set A music and when you play "slideshow B" you'll always hear set B music. I've read AppleTV doesn't work this way and you can not assign a specific music playlist to a specific slideshow or photo album. Is this true?

    Yes and No, but essentially No.
    It is possible to set specific music to play during a slideshow but it will apply to every slideshow. So hence it would be necessary to choose your music before commencing any slideshow if you wanted specific music to play.
    There is another option which might be difficult to explain since you don't have an tv but here goes: a slideshow on the tv isn't the same as a slideshow in iphoto. Generally most people will sync photo albums to the tv, the tv will then add music and transitions to those pictures depending on which music and transition options you have chosen on the tv, hence what I said above.
    As you likely know, iphoto can create its own slideshows that include music and transitions depending on the options you choose in iphoto. If you sync these slideshows to the tv rather than photo albums then the tv will ignore its own settings and use the settings you have chosen in iphoto instead, providing you have synced that music to the tv also.

  • Selecting a specific Slideshow from iPhoto to view in Front Row

    Hello! Can anybody help me to get Front Row to play an individual Slideshow, please? The Help that Apple provides for using Front Row is very basic, and I've searched for an answer on these forums without any luck.
    When I open Front Row and navigate to Photos>Shared Photos>My Photos I then get a list of just the main headings in my iPhoto library. But each of these headings has individual grouped selections of photos. These are what I want to access, but they aren't accessible from Front Row. For example, if I select Slideshows, I have 36 of these, but Front Row just plays them all together as one slideshow. I don't want this - I want to select one at a time of course.
    Surely there must be a way of doing this? I cannot believe that Apple didn't think of this when they created Front Row, but the instructions for using the program in Mac Help are very brief. One other thing, I can only use Front Row to access my iPhoto library if I have iPhoto running. This seems very poor to me - the library is on the same hard drive - I am not accessing anybody else's library. Again, there is nothing in the Mac Help for Front Row which tells you you must have iPhoto open to view photos in Front Row.
    I do hope somebody can help me, because I especially bought my 27" iMac to view my photos, and being unable to select slideshows, or even subfolders for that matter, is most frustrating.
    Thank you,
    Bruce

    If anybody has stumbled across this thread, having a similar problem to mine, you might be interested in how things finally turned out.
    Eventually I contacted Apple technical support. They spent 90 minutes (yes, at 5p a minute) trying to fix it. They were very helpful, and suggested just about every blessed thing you might think of including dragging the iPhoto library out onto the desktop, creating a new one, dragging the files back in, repairing permissions with Disk Utility - one thing after another. Nothing worked - Front Row stubbornly refused to recognise my iPhoto library.
    In the end what we did was to drag the iPhoto library out (we tried that before, but this went a different route) and put it in folder in the Pictures folder. I gave the folder a name just to identify it. Then I Option-clicked the iPhoto application program (not the library!) and it asked me if I wanted to create a new library, which I did, so I let it create a new one back in the Pictures folder (this was why I moved the original one out of the way).
    So this opened, and of course was blank. So I went back to the Pictures folder in the Finder and opened the folder in which I hid the original iPhoto library. I Option-clicked this library and selected Show Package Contents. So now all the original files, folders and images were revealed. The only folder I needed now was one called Originals. I dragged this folder straight into the big empty window of my open iPhoto application, and iPhoto began to import all my original photos into the new copy of iPhoto.
    Now I have all my photos back, but unfortunately all my albums and slideshows are lost. But one good thing is in the main photos window, with View set to Event Titles, and Sort set to Dates, everything is clearly divided back into event and date order. I can easily select each group of photos which are nicely divided up for me, and create new folders, named with subjects or events, and then create new slideshows from them.
    OK it will take me a little while to get it back to how it was, but not quite the disaster it might have been if iPhoto had not been able to sort everything out from the metadata, into date order.
    I am grateful to Paul Horan, senior technical support advisor at Apple Care, who called me back with what was admittedly a drastic solution, after trying a few fixes himself.
    Hope this help someone else!

  • I am running OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.  Option-Command-Escape now brings up Front Row.  How can this be fixed?

    I am running OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.  Option-Command-Escape now brings up Front Row.  How can this be fixed?
    Also, trying to copy portions of articles from Safari (5.1) to MS Word now results in the twirling ball. Any solutions?

    Try using the other Option (Alt) key. The reason I suggest that - the real command combo for Front Row is Command-Escape; yet yours was being activated when you pressed Command-Option-Escape. That would indicate that Finder was not responding to the inclusion of Option in the key combo. The simplest explanation for that would be that the Option key you are using is not working for some reason.
    One other 'simple' possibility - just to make sure (in case you are using a non-Apple keyboard), Option is the key adjacent to each Command key.
