Front Row Update not updating?

I downloaded/installed latest update: 2.1.7. The problem is, when I check the version number in the Finder, FR shows up as 1.0! I've applied the update installer 3 times - still 1.0.
Info says- Created: Wednesday , Oct 10, 2007 Modified: Monday, Dec 15, 2008! So, did the update take or not???

Even though this is closed, this is for others who see this thread.
I like Douglas McLaughlin's explanation here: Re: Front Row 1.0 or 2.1.6?? which basically says the version in the Applications folder is just a Launcher for the real one in the System folder. It was needed so folks without a Remote could launch Front Row.
Thanks Doug.

TS1042 what happened to "front row" when I updated to OS X Lion?

what happened to "front row" when I updated to OS X Lion?

Lion doesnt have it anymore. When Mountain Lion comes out on July 25, it will have front row again!

The front row is not working. Remote control not triger,

Front row is not working, Remote control no response, command-esc not triger as well.
check keyboard shortcut from system preference, there is no front row.
anyone know why?

Ok first try it in another Account.
1. Open the account system pref window (System Preferences > Accounts)
2. Click the plus button at the bottom
3. Specify an account name (ex: test)
4. Add account
5. Logout of your current account, and login to the newly created one
If it works, then something was wrong with your account, move your files to the new account, and delete the old one.
If it did not work:
1. Try the reinstall again (DO NOT DO "ARCHIVE AND REINSTALL", as this may keep some file that is hindering FR from operating correctly
2. Make sure the FR file is in the Core Services Folder (Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app)
3. Make sure that you do not have the IR sensor turned off on your computer (System Prefs > Security > Uncheck "Disable Remote Control IR Sensor")
4. Make sure that your remote is paired (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302545)
5. Make sure that the Command + Esc key is setup to respond by opening front row:
(1) Open system prefs
(2) Open keyboard & mouse prefs
(3) Click keyboard shortcuts
(4) Scroll down until you see front row
(5) Assign the Command + Esc key if it is not mapped
6. Finally, if all else fails, call AppleCare while your computer is still under warranty
Hope this helps,

Front Row Does Not Display Photos After Updating to iLife '11

I just updated to iLife '11 and now Front Row shows only a black screen when it should display photos photos in landscape mode. The background music plays and photos in portrait mode are displayed correctly, but the ones in landscape mode are not shown. Everything seems to be fine in iPhoto '11. What should I do to fix this issue? Thanks.

Same for me on my Mac Mini: I can see the shared pictures but can't see the ones in the local library. Funny thing is that I can see that library from my other Mac.
Also I noticed that one picture appeared in the middle of the (empty) slideshow, only 1 of 67. In the list view, those pictures appear normally, as you can see in this screenshot http://d.pr/eiXB
I'm a first-time iLife user, so I don't know if the issue is '11-specific.

Resizing a JList with variable row heights, not updating the "picture"

Firstly I would like to apologize for posting this Swing question here, but I was unable to find the Swing category, if someone could direct me to that I would be most grateful.
Ok, so in abstract what I am trying to do is have a JList with resizable rows to act as a row header for a JTable (exactly like the row headers in OO Calc or MS Excel).
What I have is a RowHeaderRenderer:
public class RowHeaderRenderer extends JLabel implements ListCellRendererand it has a private member:
private Vector<Integer>        _rowHeights            = new Vector<Integer>();which contains a list of all the variable row heights.
Then there is my getListCellRendererComponent method:
    public Component getListCellRendererComponent(    JList         list,
                                                      Object        value,
                                                      int           index,
                                                      boolean       isSelected,
                                                      boolean       cellHasFocus)
        // Make sure the value is not null
        if(value == null)
            this.setText("");
        else
            this.setText(value.toString());
        // This is where height of the row is actually changed
        // This method is fed values from the _rowHeights vector
        this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(this.getPreferredSize().width, _rowHeights.elementAt(index)));
        return this;
    }And then I have a row header:
public class RowHeader extends JList implements TableModelListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListenerand you may be interested in its constructor:
    public RowHeader(JTable table)
        _table = table;
        _rowHeaderRenderer = new RowHeaderRenderer(_table);
        this.setFixedCellWidth                        (50);
        this.setCellRenderer                        (_rowHeaderRenderer);
        // TODO: grab this value from the parent view table
        JScrollPane panel = new JScrollPane();
        this.setBackground(panel.getBackground());
        this.addMouseMotionListener                    (this);
        this.addMouseListener                        (this);
        this.setModel                                (new DefaultListModel());
        table.getModel().addTableModelListener        (this);
        this.tableChanged                            (new TableModelEvent(_table.getModel()));
    }and as you can see from my mouse dragged event:
    public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
        if(_resizing == true)
            int resizingRowHeight = _rowHeaderRenderer.getRowHeight(_resizingRow);
            _rowHeaderRenderer.setRowHeight(_resizingRow, resizingRowHeight + (e.getPoint().y - _cursorPreviousY));
            _cursorPreviousY = e.getPoint().y;
    }all I am doing is passing the rowHeaderRenderer the values the currently resizing row should be, which works fine. The values are being changed and are accurate.
The issue I am having is that while this dragging is going on the row does not appear to be resizing. In other words the "picture" of the row remains unchanged even though I change the values in the renderer. I tried calling:
this.validate();and
this.repaint();at the end of that mousedDragged method, but to no avail, neither of them worked.
Again, I verified that I am passing the correct data in the RowHeaderRenderer.
So, anyone have any ideas how I should get the image of the RowHeader (JList) to update after calling my MouseDragged event?
Thank you for your time,
Brandon

I was able to fix this some time ago. Here is the solution:
     public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e)
          if(_resizing == true)
               int newHeight = _previousHeight + (e.getPoint().y - _cursorPreviousY);
               if(newHeight < _minRowHeight)
                    newHeight = _minRowHeight;
               _rowHeaderRenderer.setRowHeight(_resizingRow, newHeight);
               _table.setRowHeight(_resizingRow, newHeight);
          this.updateUI();
     }

Although iTunes works with XiphQT and hence ogg files, front Row will not

Hello,
front Row displays "front Row cannot play the current song" although the underlying QT infrastructure/iTunes plays ogg files just fine. Does anybody have a suggestion other than re-encoding them as mp3s?
Thanks.
PS. I have the the latest 10.5.2 updates installed through system update.

But the QuickTime player can indeed play ogg files just fine like iTunes. I have the latest version of XiphQT (http://xiph.org/quicktime/), which is installed under what seems to be the QT component directory. If you are still surprised, you could readily test this and get rid of this fairly self-contained component afterward, assuming you don't have tons of ogg files like me.
Thanks.

Front Row 'Sources' not finding media server

Hi all!
I use my Mac Mini as a media server for my apple TV and all my computers/macs with iTunes.
Everything works fine apart from Front Row on my MacBook that only seems able to find my local machine under sources.
Any ideas?

You are not alone. I am experiencing the same problem.
We have consolidated all of our music and videos (much if it purchased via iTunes) onto a NAS media server. Our Macs have no problem seeing the server either from within iTunes or QuickTime Player. Yet, trying to find it using Front Row is impossible. There are no menu source options other than one's own mac or, alternatively, the iTunes Server mothership.
Either this is an oversight in the way Front Row was written, or more likely, it's some Draconian control issue decided in Cupertino.
For anyone who's acquired a lot of content (all legally, too, I might add) and stores it externally of his/her mac, this issue makes Front Row useless.

Front Row/computer not hooked up to internet?

Hello,
When I go into Front row, and then into trailers, I'm warned that I am not hooked up to the internet,please check network settings. I'm using Safari and mail while doing this and network diagnostic checks out just fine.
Any thoughts,
Raff

Happens all the time. Hope you find a solution. Now mark the topic and good computing.

Front Row does not support Airtunes in Leopard

Can anyone tell me if I am just doing something wrong or if Leopard does not support airtunes in the new and improved Front Row?

I'm having the same problem, and it's a big one as one of the main uses for my Mac Mini is as a media centre controlling iTunes via the remote!
I think the root of the problem is that previously (on 10.4) Front Row launched and used iTunes in the background and so it respected whatever setting was current in iTunes.
It seems to now be using something else (maybe QuickLook) to play it - at least I haven't noticed the same delay when using Front Row when iTunes isn't launched...
This is something that needs to be rectified soon because one of the driving reasons for my upgrade was the 'new' AppleTV-like Front Row.
This upgrade has made my Airport Express useless and is tempting me to downgrade and ask for a refund - removing functionality is not a way to get new customers!

Front Row does not see my iPhoto library

Hello,
on Tiger, latest version iMac C2D 2,16, Front row 1.3.1 does not see my iPhoto 6.0.6 library. I trashed pref for Front Row, nothing better. Library is in Pictures.
It works Ok with others for music and video.
Does anyone of you have an idea?
Thank you very much,
Best regards,

Hello,
solved : you need to change some keywords. In fact it looks like I had a blank key word in iPhoto.

HT5037 iPhoto Updater not updating

OK, so after migrating my apps & files from my old G5 to my brand new Mac Mini (OS 10.8.2), iPhoto won't recognize my old files and says I need the updater. So I get the updater, install it, and iPhoto still won't recognize my old files, again tells me I need the updater. I mean, I never used iPhoto before, always Photoshop except for one time I needed to quickly print a 4x6 and used iPhoto; of course, my brother-in-law now wants more copies and I can't get the new iPhoto to open (updater!) and I can't find the file on my HDs. ???

You have to run the updater, not just install it. So, Applications/Utilities and double click on it...

Software updates not updating

I haven't been able to run any software updates since before Christmas! I clearly have a very long list of updates and every time I try to update, my macbook will restart but will not update anything! I'm stuck on Max OS X 6.8! HELP!

What are you trying to update? Write out the list. 10.6.8 is the highest you get in Snow Leopard. To go to the next OS either 10.7 or 10.8 you need to purchase the upgrades.

SCEP Definition Updates not updating

Hi!
Our topology consists in one Head Quarter Office Server and 6 Branch Office Servers.
All systems are updated, except for the systems on one Branch Office.
I have checked step by step the blog http://blogs.msdn.com/b/scstr/archive/2012/05/31/how-to-scep-amp-settings-amp-automatic-deploymnet-rule.aspx
Its everything fine, but the systems persist not updated on that branch office.
When I checked the Content Status of FEP Definition Update Deployment Package, it has a status of "In Progress".
The target server does have enought disk space to receive the content, once I created a prestaged content file and it has about 600MB.
I removed that content location and then distributed again. How can I follow the logs of that distribution?
Any suggestion on checking this problem out?
Thanks in advance.
Fabio Martins MCDST/MCSA Brasil!!!

Hi,
What's the content status of the update package? In progress?
1.You could try to increase the number of Maximum threads per package in
Software distribution component properties under
Sites ->choose your site -> Configure site components -> Software Distribution.
Reference:Packages content status stuck on “in Progress” in SCCM 2012
http://silentcrash.com/2013/08/packages-content-status-stuck-on-in-progress-in-sccm-2012/
2.You could also try to cancel the package distribution, then prestage the content.
