Front Row Uninstalled itself - How do you reinstall it?

Like some of the other posters here, I had FR working on my MBP. I probably last used it at the end of August. It is now no longer on my computer and I did not uninstall it.
I have checked that the problem is not with the remote, but no, the remote works fine, the application is no longer on the machine. I have checked the System folder mentioned in other posts.
Front Row is not available on the Apple site as a download anymore so can somebody tell me how I can reinstall it please. I found a link to FR 1.0 on the web and tried that, then a software update. The update downloaded 1.3 and I installed it but this does not work either, although I do now have FR in the system folder again. It is not started when the machine starts and I have tried repairing permissions etc.
Your help is appreciated.

I was pretty convinced mine was gone, too. But as I learned in the other thread, Front Row is apparently like no other application. (I'm guessing because it actually controls other applications it's implemented differently.)
I think it was changed somewhere in OS 10.4 upgrades. I'd have sworn it was a plain old app once upon a time. But then, my memory's not what it used to be.
I was just glad to see it again!

Front row is gone, how do I reinstall from the CD?

I lost Front Row a long time ago, so long ago that I don't remember why anymore. Spotlight does not bring it up. How can I reinstall Front Row again with the CDs?

How to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder.

/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.
• Click on the "Go" button .....
• Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned.
20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk.
0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package.
0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11. Type in your password, click “OK”
• Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes.....

How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

How Can you reinstall Photoshop Elements12 to a computer that its was there but loss it after installing windows 8.1

Reinstalling Mavericks depends on several factors:
if you erased your recovery partition
what OS originally came on your Mac.
I'll assume you don't have a backup available that you made before your mishap, because you didn't mention it.
That's really the take home message here: have a backup!
If you still have your recovery partition:
boot into the recovery partition (command R at restart)
use the recovery partition to reinstall Mavericks. see: OS X: About OS X Recovery
if you do not still have your recovery partition, then it depends on whether your Mac originally came with installer disks or not.
If it originally came with installer disks, you would boot from the installer disks, erase your HD, and then reinstall the OS that is on the installer disks, and then upgrade as necessary until you get to Mavericks.
If your mac did not originally come with installer disks, but you managed to erase your recovery partition, then you can try to boot into internet recovery (option-command-R at restart), and use internet recovery to erase your HD and reinstall the OS that originally came with your computer, and then upgrade to Mavericks if you need to. See: Hands on with Mountain Lion's OS X Recovery and Internet Recovery | Macworld
(the reference refers to ML but it applies just as well to Mavericks).

How do you reinstall the app store on a mac computer?

I accidentally deleted the app store on my macbook pro. How do you reinstall the app store app on your computer?

There is no Mac App Store on Mac OS X 10.6.5 or earlier.
On Mac OS X 10.6.6 through 10.6.8, run the combo updater for your OS version or a newer Snow Leopard one.
On Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down, and reinstall the OS.

That large yellow font is very hard to read.
The App Store app can't be deleted but can be hidden by Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions
Have you tried using the Spotlight search. Maybe you just can find it.
If you go to Settings is ther a Setting for the App store?

How do you reinstall elements 12 in windows 7 ?

My elements 12 program is corrupt how do I reinstall the program

Press Ctrl+Alt+Del and go to Task Manager
Select the Applications tab. If Elements is still shown as running, highlight and click End Task to force quit.
You can use the link below to download PSE12 if you have your product serial number. It’s probably best to uninstall first by going to the Windows Control Panel.

I have upgraded to lion but it seems that front row has disappeared, how do I get it back?

How do I get Front Row back? I used to use it all the time!!

antrozous wrote:
Front Row got taken off Lion.
But you can search on youtube for a work around (not sure I can post links here)
If you do a search here you will find a couple of other programs that work in a similar fashion under Lion. Can't recall their names, I never used Front Row, but I recall the posts being on the Lion Forums somewhere.
Good Luck

How do you reinstall an app that won't open

I downloaded and installed Dragon Express for my Macbook Pro. It shows being installed but it won't open when I click on it. Any suggestions? I thought I might uninstall it and reinstall it but when you go to the App Store it shows that's it's been installed and it doesn't give you the option to install it again.

Clearing Display in Console worked the first time but failed thereafter as the app failed to launch on the second and subsequent times.
I still want to know how to uninstall an app and then reinstall it. You would think this would be an obvious option but I don't see it.
Someone please advise.

Numbers was uninstalled. How do I reinstall?

It came pre-installed with my MacBook. I updated it last night before updating my OS, but when I turn on my laptop, I found that my Numbers had been uninstalled. I checked the App Store and it makes me pay $19.99 to get Numbers. How do I reinstall it?

Hi Jerome,
It came pre-installed with my MacBook
Which version of Numbers was pre-installed? Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) or Numbers 3.x?
I updated it last night before updating my OS
What version of OS X did you have before updating OS X?
Try these steps one at a time.
1. Under the Apple Menu, choose Software Update (instead of opening App Store). It may be that updating Numbers before updating your OS now requires an new update of Numbers!
2. Use Spotlight to search for Numbers. Perhaps you will find two versions of Numbers:
Numbers '09 in a folder called iWork '09 within your Applications folder; and
Numbers 3.x within your Applications folder (not a sub folder).
3. try this User Tip on working with different versions of Numbers:
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.
Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.
Numbers 3.2 on the right with a four column graph.
Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
Please reply if you need more help (or if I have misunderstood your question).
Regards,
Ian.

How do you reinstall iMovie when it came pre-installed with the Mac?

Hi,
I was wondering how you reinstall imovie 11 (i think) when the software came pre-installed on the Mac. I purchased my Mac in August 2011 it is the iMac (Mid 2011 model) I am running Lion. No discs came with the Mac for the option to reinstall.
The reason i wish to reinstall it is because it keeps crashing on startup. I load the application and it opens but then after a few moments of loading up the rainbow wheel appears and never goes away, the app then is none responsive and I have to force quite the app.
Any help would be appriciated
Cheers

Hi Ralph,
I live in the UK and i have called apple support but it is all automated and as i don't have apple care they said that i would need to open an incident which would cost £35. iMovie on the Mac App store is only £10.50!
do you know of another way of contacting them for an issue like this? is there anyone i can speak to on an online chat?

How do you reinstall backup files????

I have a Palm Tungsten E2 and have the application Diet Assistant on it. I had input all of the foods that I eat on a regular basis and had logged all my info for a number of days. I connected it to my laptop to load all the info to the programs application on my computer. Instead it reinstalled the program and deleted all my information I had put in it over the last week.... I found a backup file (and am hoping it is the one I need) how do you install them back onto the handheld so that I don't have to re enter all the information.... HELP!!! PLEASE!!!
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

can you please elaborate more on how you got the backup file?
usually when you say backup file in the palm, it is the backup folder that contains all the 3rd party applications installed to the palm whether it's bundled or separately installed.

How do you reinstall Lightroom 4.1 to it's original default.

I am on Adobe's monthly subscription plan for Creative Cloud. I am new to Lightroom and I am using lynda.com for tutorials.
When the tutor said there were 122 pictures in their excercise files I found only 20 pictures. I then downloaded the Excercise files a second time and this was the same. I now wanted to delete the catalogue and start again. I could not do so. I then found that the layout on the monitor had changed. How do I reinstall or reset Lightroom so that I can start again bearing in mind that this is a subscrition package.

Message app has been deleted. How do you reinstall?

My child deleted a few apps including messaging. How do you get them back?

Try a reset,
Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
Good luck and do report back.
