Hi there Lostmyshoe,
Yes, Front Row worked in Lion after reinstalling.
See the following:

Does Front Row work with PowerPC G4?

Does Front Row work with PowerPC G4? Where can I get it?

There are ways, but it has limited ablities since you don't have the IR based remote needed. There is a "hack" of sorts which tricks front row to install on other Macs. I have it on my Power Mac G4 and my ibook as well. Just do a google search.
There is nothing illegal about the hack since you download the free update from the apple website. All the hack does it make the installer think you have a iMac or Macbook Pro.

Recommend a device to make Front Row work on a non intel- G-5?

Can anyone recommend a device to make Front Row work on a non intel- G-5?
I want to hook up my old power pc (non-intel) G-5 to my new Sony with an HDMI cable and use
front row to access home movies stored on the computer.
thanks

Front Row is included with Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard) for all Macs.

Does front row work

does front row work with mountain lion

No, it is incompatible and has been withdrawn by Apple.
If you read the other 150 threads on the subject in this forum you may find a workaround.

New 2TB Time Capsule: solid amber light, but TC working well...what's wrong?

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me...thanks in advance for reading through this question!
I have a brand new 2TB Time Capsule, using it with the AT&T U-verse modem/router 3801 HGV.
After much consternation, I finally got the TC set up in bridge mode with the U-verse router.
The TV, phone, and internet are all working well through AT&T...and my wireless internet
connection through the TC is working great as well. Also, the TC is performing the first
back up of my MacBook Pro hard drive. Everything seems to be working great, I think.
However, I have some questions that I feel need to be addressed:
1- The light on the TC is solid AMBER, not green. When I check the connections in the Airport
Utility, all indicator lights on my screen are green, and the "dot" beside the TC icon is green.
Solid amber indicates that the "Time Capsule is completing its start-up sequence". I would expect
the start-up sequence to be completed long ago and the light to be green...and I can't find anything
wrong.
Any ideas as to why the light on the TC could be solid amber??
2- What should I do to get the light to be green??
3- I have no idea of the speed of the back-up, and what it should be. I have about 190GB of data
to back up. I totally understand that it takes many hourse for the first back-up. It looks like the
speed I'm seeing is changing frequently, and it's backed up about 3.5GB in about 20 minutes or so.
Is that a fairly "normal" speed?? I just want to make sure my configuration is good.
4- I'd like to set up a "guest" wireless network with an easier password...I had done it earlier when
the connections were not working and perhaps I accidentally removed it when updating to "bridge"
mode. To set up a new network, do I just write over the info in the fields when I get to "Wireless"
tab in the Airport Utility?? The info from my "home" network populates those fields now, and I
just don't want to risk overwriting the info and losing that network.
Does the TC "add" a new wireless network when I add new data in those fields...and SAVE the
original "home" network I created?? Just making sure!
Thanks to those who reply!
Chris

1- The light on the TC is solid AMBER, not green. When I check the connections in the Airport Utility, all indicator lights on my screen are green, and the "dot" beside the TC icon is green.
That is weird.. most TC I look at solid AMBER means the hard disk is dead. Not sure but since it is working it is no biggie.. there is some control over how the led functions.. but I doubt you can set the color different.
In other words.. not a clue.. if the TC is new take it to the genius and show them.. that is not the way it is supposed to work.
3- I have no idea of the speed of the back-up, and what it should be. I have about 190GB of data
to back up. I totally understand that it takes many hourse for the first back-up. It looks like the
speed I'm seeing is changing frequently, and it's backed up about 3.5GB in about 20 minutes or so.

Over wireless expect slow.. you did not state wireless or wired.. but those look like reasonable wireless speed. your files will load at different speed.. small files are slow.. larger files much faster.. it takes time to write the tables for many smaller files.
We always recommend first backup over ethernet.. even if the TC is pulled out of the network.
4- I'd like to set up a "guest" wireless network with an easier password...I had done it earlier when
the connections were not working and perhaps I accidentally removed it when updating to "bridge"
mode. To set up a new network, do I just write over the info in the fields when I get to "Wireless"
tab in the Airport Utility?? The info from my "home" network populates those fields now, and I
just don't want to risk overwriting the info and losing that network.
Guest network is removed as an option in bridge mode.. just use the uverse modem wireless for guest.

FRONT ROW NOT INCLUDED IN LION????? (Rephrased as question since they erased my post!)

So I won't get my post, that many people we're discussing and figuring out a work around for Front Row, deleted by admin's I'll rephrase as a question.
WHY DID APPLE DELETE FRONT ROW? WILL THE REPLACE IT WITH ANOTHER APP? AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS APPLE TV IS POINTLESS IF YOU HAVE A MACBOOK WITH HDMI OUTPUT?
I hope instead of the admin's deleting this post (which to me shows they don't like the fact that we're downing Apple TV) they will give us an answer or some better work around. Otherwise the remote is pointless because if you can't see iTunes small text from across the room there's no way to control your Mac from across the room. Please discuss & don't delete.

No, like I said, Apple TV doesn't have a hard drive, so you can't download anything to it. You can only stream content in real time from other sources, either your Macbook, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or the internet. There is content available from Apple (and Netflix and MLB) that you can stream from the internet directly to your Apple TV, but it isn't always the same as the downloadable content. For example, you might be able to download a copy of the latest "Parks & Recreation" to your Macbook hard drive and then watch it by streaming it from your Macbook to your Apple TV. But that same episode might not show up in the Apple TV menu as a program available for direct streaming.
I think it's fair to say that Apple TV is an interface and works very similarly to Front Row, it's just makes things more convenient because you don't need to hook your computer up to the TV or worry about balancing your laptop on the edge your entertainment center, etc. It's the size of a hocky puck and fits seamlessly into the rest of your entertainment center.
Are they getting rid of FrontRow because they want to increase Apple TV sales? I don't know, but sometimes I get the feeling that Apple does things more out of a "let them eat cake" arrogance than outright greed. They probably decided in a meeting somewhere that Front Row wasn't "necessary" anymore because Apple TV provides a much more "elegant" solution. The fact that not everyone wants to shell out $99 for an Apple TV is probably not much of a concern to them.

MBP Clamshell Mode - DVI to TV Adapter - Front Row Works - But No Video?

Hi all,
Have picked up an Apple DVI to TV adapter for my MB Pro. Have successfully got it to work in clamshell mode displaying Front Row on the TV without the external Mouse or keyboard.
However, it will not play videos or movies on the TV.
If I keep the lid open, it will play the video/movie on both displays as hoped. However, when I close the lid, all other Front Row stuff works - but no video picture! Is this some sort of overlay issue? How can I fix this? I do NOt want to burn my LCD when using it this way - would be a waste.
Please pass on any thoughts!
Thanks,
Stu

I also have this exact same problem. A little annoying since I have just spent $A35 on the mini dvi to dvi adapter and another $A50 on a good quality DVI cable. My LCD tv is set to millions of colors so that is not the issue.
I have a 2.0Ghz Core2Duo Macbook. A quick google search If anyone knows how to fix it I'd be very grateful.

Front Row preferences: I think it's about time

My experience with Front Row is limited, as I've only had my iMac for a few months now. However, in the short amount of time I have spent with it I find myself wondering why Front Row wasn't built with the notion that users may just want to have control over their experience. A few of the options I've found myself wanting:
*Turn on/off file scrolling*
- I've spent many hours creating cover art for my movies, so if I only want it to display the icon I've replaced for the folder icon, then I should have that option. I don't want to see the contents of that folder.
*Ability to target a different source folder, disk, or computer*
- I realize there are workarounds to this, but it should be much simpler than it currently is to do this. Most people in this day and age have external drives, or additional computers within a single household. It shouldn't be assumed that everyone prefers to store their media in those predetermined folders.
*Option to resume movie*
- This one seems so obvious that I have to assume that I've simply overlooked this option somewhere. Shouldn't one have the ability to resume playback of a movie where they left off if the movie is interrupted?
*Keyboard shortcut and/or remote command that exits Front Row*
- Again, I feel like I'm missing something here. Is there really no way to exit Front Row with one key/button stroke? I find myself having to back out of several screens before I can finally get back to my desktop. I've tried several logical keyboard shortcuts and tried holding down the 'menu' button on the remote and got no response. I realize we're only talking about a matter of seconds here, but it does become an inconvenience over time.
*ID3 tags for movies*
- I realize this is asking a bit more than just adding a couple of checkboxes, but it would really enhance the user experience if you could give your movies ID3 tags (or equivalent) so that the process of finding cover art, previews, synopsis, cast/crew info, etc. would be automated. Currently it takes about 5 minutes per film to manually download/optimize this content. Honestly, if I didn't have OCD I probably wouldn't waste the time.
Consider this a running list of requests to Apple, if anyone out there is listening. The more I use the program the longer this list will undoubtedly get. It's an amazing feature which makes the Mac platform stand alone, but it's time to take this application to the next level. I'm a bit of a stickler when it comes to usability, and right now this product has fallen short in my opinion.
I'd be interested in hearing others thoughts on this. I'm sure I haven't covered everything here.

I would really suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback for each of your suggestions.
Option to resume movie...
Movies/TV Shows/videos inside iTunes will pause and resume. It's only the movies that live outside of iTunes that, currently, won't resume.
-Doug

HT1338 I recently bought Civilization 4, which worked well with Lion, but after updating to Mountain Lion, the program no longer functions. The graphic display is scrambled. Any suggestions.

I purchased civilization 4 from the app store. It worked well until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now when it loads, the display is scrambled and unresponsive.

removed parralles and logmein, still no audio devices available.
but...after booting into safe mode and restarting, audio returned. however it only returns until rebooted again. then no audio devices.
lame.

Does Front Row work with Airport Express?

I"m a bit confused by the new Front Row feature of the iMac G5. I'd be happy with EITHER my TV, with a signal from my Mac via Airport Express (with video output to the TV) to watch videos, control itunes etc.
Or, I'd perhaps consider having the iMac G5 in the living room, to watch TV, videos, DVD's, control iTunes.
However, it seems this solution doesn't do everything. You still need your iMac, and you need your TV. What's the point of integration if it doesn't integrate?
Having a TV and an iMac sitting side by side seems a bit pointless.

According to Business Week: "Airport Express can already be used to stream music from a Mac or a PC's iTunes playlist to home stereos. And Apple launched its current flagship Wi-Fi router, the Airport Extreme, months ahead of the official industry ratification of the 802.11g standard. It might do something similar with a new Airport lineup before the 802.11n standard is ratified."

Warum fehlt Front Row nach OS X Lion installation

Hallo Apple Support Community,
ich habe vor kurzem OS X Lion installiert.
Es bringt Geschwindigkeitsvorteile und ein paar nette neue Features mit sich.
ABER Front Row ist verschwunden seit ich OS X Lion installiert habe.
Ich frage mich warum?
Muss ich das Programm jetzt neu kaufen?
Ist Apple ein Fehler unterlaufen und es wurde versehentlich gelöscht?
Für Info wäre ich dankbar.

Front Row wird von Lion gegangen, aber dieser Link zeigt Ihnen, wie Sie es zurück zu bekommen.
Die iTunes-Bibliothek hat sich geändert und wird nicht mit FrontRow mehr.
AppleTV ist der neue vordere Reihe, wenn Sie viel zu tun. Es gibt auch andere Optionen wieBoxee und XBMC, dass ähnliche Dinge, die FrontRow verwendet werden, um zu tun.
meine erste und einzige Sprache ist Englisch. Es tut mir leid wenn das, was Sie gerade lesenist grammatikalisch schlecht.

Is Front Row Working And Up To Date ...

Hi, Is the MacBook or the iMac a better media server? I would primarily leave it attached to a television and play iTunes Videos via Front Row. Thanks.

If you want a media server you're proably better of buying a Mac that doesn't have a screen like the Mac mini.

Macbook freezing and not working well after Lion installation - thoughts?

hey guys,
i have a late 2007 macbook running OS X Lion 10.7.2. It was running absolutely great with snow leopard; seriously i loved it, no complaints or major issues. I recently bought and installed Lion, but now my laptop is not working correct and freezes ALL the time. seriously i have to turn my computer off every 2 or 3 minutes, 5 or 10 if i'm lucky. programs and applications are also not working so well.
WHAT COULD THIS BE?
HOW DO I FIX THIS?
uninstall lion? reinstall snow leopard?
PLEASE HELP
thanks everyone!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find nothing has changed after you complete it.
Boot in safe mode. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
Test. Same problem now?

Front Row worked well in Lion. What about in Mountain Lion?
