Front Row theatrical trailers not connected to internet?

This was working fine out of the box. It seems that after a couple system/soft updates ie. quicktime, iTunes, etc. it will no longer allow movie trailers... 'not connected to the internet'.
My network connections have not changed. I use a cable connect. Airport is turned off; as is Bluetooth.
In other words, my internet connection has not changed and is functioning properly, otherwise I wouldn't be typing this question.
I cannot seem to locate Front Row prefs. Quicktime prefs: Streaming speed on Auto., Instant on.
Not terribly important, but annoying.

If you use the Accounts System Preferences to create a new user, log out and log in as the new user, can they access the trailers? If not, then you have some kind of system-wide problem. If they can, then your user has some kind of preference/setting issue.

  • Front Row movie trailers -- not connected to internet message?

    I'm new to Front Row, even though it's been on my laptop for a while! Anyway, when I click on Movie Trailers, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the internet, even though I am (via Airport). I looked at Network Diagnostics as both the message and Apple Support site suggested, and everything is reported as fine (as I knew it would be; I can get to the internet with no problem). The only other thing I found in Support was for machines with more than 1 Ethernet port, which I don't have.
    Is there something special I need to do to get Front Row to see I'm connected to the internet? Thanks for any suggestions!

    I believe you've encountered a bug with Front Row. If you can, try plugging in an Ethernet cable even if it's not actually connected to the Internet itself. Sometimes Front Row looks only for an Internet connection through the Ethernet port even if the port, itself, is not connected to the the Internet. I think the trailers will play through the AirPort connection anyway...

  • Front row says im not on the internet

    When using my Mac pros airport extreme to get on the internet, front row says im not on the internet when trying to stream movie trailers.
    But when connected via ethernet, it works fine.
    My mac pro is in an area where ethernet is not a viable solution..
    This a common bug? I tried googling it but came back with nothing.

    Hi
    I was having the same problem, but found this today:

  • Front Row says im not connected to the internet, But I am!

    I go on Front row to watch some movie trailers and it says im not connected to the internet, but im posting this.
    I have repaired permissions and reinstalled it and leopard.
    What can I do?

    It looks indeed like there is a bug in the Leopard version of Front Row. I have the exact same problem, after having just installed Leopard in a new clean install. The trailer browsing feature worked just fine with Tiger, in this very same Intel mini, but now with Leopard and with the exact same network settings, it keeps nagging about a missing internet connection. I am using a pppoe / DSL line, and needless to say, my internet connection is working just fine.
    But now, thanks to the hint above, I was able to get the movie trailers to work now. The trick, or should I say the workaround was to stop using the automatic setting configured by Leopard during installation, and setting up a new location, with the very same details. You don't have to delete anything, just add a new location and name it to your liking, then add your connection details, and you're all set.
    So in short, apparently one should use a manually set location rather than the automatic mode. An annoying little bug really, but fortunately easy to fix.
    Hopefully the boffins @Apple are reading these forums, and this little bug is to be fixed in 10.5.2 as well. That is, along with the Mail SMTP bug, which was also annoying but easy to fix, eventually.

  • Front Row Theatrical Trailers Icons Blank

    Hi,
    I currently have all the latest released updates (itunes 7, qt update, front row update, etc) released september 12. Everything functions correctly except the preview icons for theatrical trailers.
    Prior to todays updates I would see a picture of a DVD cover as the artwork for a trailer. Now I see a rectangle with the QuickTime symbol and a question mark below. The titles of the trailers still show when I move from box to box and the previews start loading normally.
    I tried removing my front row property list and the front row cache. I also created a new user and had no luck with that account. I've restarted my machine, disconnected all devices (macbook black) and tried repairing permissions. No luck.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Update: I've just installed again QT 7.1.3 using
    Software Update and now the trailers thumbnails look
    fine.
    I suspect the cause of this problem to be the fact
    that I upgraded to 7.1.3 using the QT installer from
    apple.com, not the Software Update.
    Mine has the problem and I used Software Update first. I tried installing again with no luck.
    Where can you get the downgrade to 7.0.1? I may try that.

  • Front Row movie trailers not working

    Hi all,
    Is anyone else experiencing trouble with the movie trailers on Front Row?
    Whenever I select Movie Trailers I immediately get the message "The movie trailer server is not responding" instead of the list of movies.
    This happens immediately as though Front Row hasn't actually bothered to look for the server at all but has simply decided that it isn't available.
    The situation is the same for all users on the machine.
    I've trashed com.apple.frontrow.plist but this didn't help - not surprising really as the only data I've seen stored in there is the last selected Front Row mode (movies,music,etc)
    While researching this problem I found out that the actual address of the movie server is http://www.apple.com/trailers/home/xml/current.xml and sure enough if I access this address in Safari it works absolutely fine.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks in advance, I really miss those trailers!

    Hi Ian,
    Just curious, but you have downloaded the Front Row update.

  • Front Row Movie Trailers don't work on Airport Network

    I can't view Front Row movie trailers when using an airport network. However, I can see the movies if I bypass the Airport Base Station and connect my iMac straight to my DSL modem via ethernet.
    I can access all other internet services via Airport - but not the movie trailers. I would imagine there is some firewall issues with the Airport Base Station - but I don't know how to fix it.
    Anybody able else able to see movie trailers on an Airport network?

    There is a large discussion of this problem here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=3605
    21&tstart=15
    Some people have reported that removing their router
    and connecting directly to the ADSL modem fixes the
    problem (similar to your experience) while others
    (myself included) have found that removing the router
    has no effect. I suppose there is a possibilty that
    some ISP's block certain ports as well.
    Yes that thread gave me a fix:
    " I have got it working!
    Try the following:
    1 - Go to "Sharing" on the System Preferences and
    turn ON the Firewall
    2 - on the right on the Firewall pane select "New"
    and choose "Quicktime"
    Voila, it works. (Even if you turn OFF the firewal)l
    it still works.
    Let me know if this solution works for more people.
    Cheers!"
    Thanks WebSailor for pointing me in the right direction.

  • Apple TV does not connect to internet over the WiFi network

    I recently bought an Apple TV and hooked it up to my Sony 46" HD LCD TV.
    My desktop is an iMac running Mac OSX Leopard
    I have created a WiFi network using the AirportExpress conected to an ADSL router.
    The wireless network is working fine and I have access to internet through my iMac or other PC and Apple laptops.
    Yesterday, I tried installing my new AppleTV following the little instruction book. My problem is that while the AppleTV detects my network (it shows up as the network) and on choosing this network connects to the network but gives a message that it has not connected to internet.
    As a result while it synchronises with iTunes on my iMac, it fails to download from the internet directly. I am unable to upgrade to the latest version or play YouTube or images from my MobileMe account or log on directly to the iTune Store.
    I have tried figuring out the problem but unable to do so. Thanks for your help.

    I am having a similar (or identical) problem. I have a network running on my airport extreme. My imac and my girlfriend's laptop can connect to the internet without issue. The apple tv finds my network and reports that it connects, yet it doesn't seem to. I cannot access trailers or youtube, cannot update, and cannot play purchased content. I reset the apple TV, but that did not solve the problem. Should I reset the airport extreme?

  • Safari says not connected to internet on certain sites when connection is good and IMG[] images don't show up anymore?

    I recently updated to 10.6.8 from 10.5.x and have been having some issues.  First, Safari will say that my computer is not connected to the internet, but it is.  I can be on YouTube, for example, and then try to go to eBay, and it will say not connected to internet, but I can go to Google and it will be fine without doing anything.  Almost like it cannot connect to the server, but the message is that I'm not connected to the internet.  I can turn Airport off and back on and get on most pages that wouldn't open originally.  It's not site-specific.  Sometimes it's Google, Facebook, eBay, YouTube, forums, etc. and other times those same sites work just fine. 
    The next problem, which I feel is related is that IMG[xxx] images won't open some of the time now on forums that have Photobucket and Tinypic IMG codes inserted into threads.  It will just show the blue box with a question mark.  I think that's because my Safari can't open the image hosting websites because sometimes when I click on the blue box to open the link, it says not connected to the internet and Photobucket seems to be one of the regular problem sites. 
    I've tried clearing my cache, reseting Safari, and a few other suggestions on here from similar problems, but I haven't seen a post describing my same issues exactly.  I have not tried Firefox and would prefer to keep using Safari. 

    Try repairing permissions.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup  disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Select:  Repair Disk Permissions
    This can take a few minutes and better to not use your Mac while it's running.
    When it's finished, quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • Secure link to itunes store failed computer not connected to internet tried ununininstalling everything to do with itunes no joy also error code coming up E0000225 anybody out there got any ideas

    Secure link to itunes store failed, (computer not connected to internet tried uninstalling everything to do with itunes,no joy also errror code E0000225 appearing. Have turned off windows firewall and also my Bullguarg security settings.Can anybody out there please help me thanks.

    Hi,
    You could be right that the response to clicking on help is a symptom of an entirely separate issue, but nevertheless the secure link to itunes is definitely failed, and I am unable to log into Itunes on either PC.
    I also noticed that even if I click on the link to create a whole new Apple ID, I cannot do that either, presumably because the secure link is not working.
    After I noticed that there were weird things happening this morning, I did change my Apple ID password in the hope that this might resolve it, but it seemed to make it worse.  Now, all of my apple devices keep constantly prompting me for the apple ID password, and randomly either accepting it, or telling me it is wrong.  I know the password is correct because I can log onto the apple Manage My Apple ID screens in a web browser with it.
    I was starting to think that this is an ISP issue (BT Broadband), but I have not seen anyone else posting with the same issue.  Does Apple use a different security protocol to everyone else?  I'm asking because all other secure services seem to be working fine, but anything related to apple that requires a secure connection or authentication is having issues.
    I have also seen reference to making sure that Itunes is listed as an allowed program in Windows Firewall.  I cannot seem to do this because it says that my Windows firewall is being managed by McCafee.  I have checked the settings in McCafee, and it appears to me that Itunes, Bonjour, and many other apple programs have been granted "Full" access.  As said before in any case I have tried temporarily disabling the firewall and even this did not solve the problem.

  • ITunes 12.0.1.26 update will not connect to internet, despite no connection problem on my PC?

    After upgrading to 12.0.1.26, podcasts won't update and cannot access iTunes Store. Get a message that I cannot access as not connected to internet. There is no problem with my connection. I've rebooted, delete & reloaded etc., still not working. Nothing in the Help section is helping.

    Looks like I have fixed the problem by uninstalling then reinstalling the Norton Antivirus software.  Thanks again iTunes for another pointless update that wasted hours of my time in trying to get it to work properly.
