FrontRow.app gone

Hey all, I've got a problem.
I've been using my new 1.66ghz Intel core duo Mac Mini as a TV system for watching dvd's on my hdtv via a dvi to hdmi cable, and playing itunes via optical to my speaker system and have been loving it. But, the other day, front row locked up so I hard reset the system. Now, I try to go back in a day or two later and I can't get frontrow to come back up again. Neither the remote nor Apple+Esc will do it.
I've tested the remote, it's fine. If i hold down the play button for a few seconds, the mac will pop up the remote with zzz icon and then go to sleep. I can also pair the remote with the mac just fine. In the security settings, the IR reciever is active, and just for the fun of it, i've removed the remote pairing.
I checked the keyboard shortcuts, and it's still assigned to frontrow. I then looked around some forums and found out that i should have a FrontRow.app in System/Library/CoreServices and it's not there. I downloaded the Front Row 1.3 updater, but the Macintosh HD is blocked with the message "This software update requires Front Row."
And... the fun thing is... I checked the mini I have at work as well, and it's now doing the same thing. No Front Row! And this system is verry fresh, just a month or so old.
Other than this, the systems are fine. I've done all the updates when they pop up, and the updater says everythings up to date. The one suspect thing is that around this time, there where updates available that i told it to install.
What's up???!?? Any ideas?

Ok, got it working again... at least on my work mini.
For those of you who are curious, I used the Front Row Enabler tool to fool the frontrow 1.3 updater into installing frontrow back onto my mini. The only thing i did different, was since my mini has a remote, i didn't run the "Patch" that's a part of the Enabler package.
Still... Verry odd. Verry odd indeed.

    Try going to file-devices-restore from backup, if you dont have a backup then you may redownload past purchases (movies, music, apps, etc) from their respective stores by visiting "purchased" section.

  • When is the new Google Search app gonna be available?

    Hi All,
    When is the new Google Search app gonna be available?
    Why Apple is taking so long to approve it?
    Any idea?

    Tks Bmg but according to the below URL, Google submitted the new APP on August....
    http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/another-way-apples-fight-with-google-is-hur ting-users.php
    That's why I started this discussion to find out why this app didn't reach the appstore yet. I know it does a lot of waht Siri does but it's not fully integrated to iOS/hardware like Siri so, that's why I don't understand why Apple is taking so long to approve it nor to disclose why they are not approving.
    I didn't find any info about google app not being within the guidelines of Apples terms and conditions too...
    and in regards to the maps, that's a good point but it could use maps.google.com like it currently does so I don't think it should be a big deal right?
    Thanks again.

  • HT5429 Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6 can I revert to IOS5?

    Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6.The images at any reasonable magnification are colourless and so fuzzy as to be useless.I loved my old Google based system which even allowed me to look into my house window from the street view function.I wish I had never accepted the invitation to upgrade to IOS6 I would like to go back tithe old system

    Google and Apple have apparently parted ways in the 'bundled apps' area.
    If you don't like the bundled map app, then your option is to look for a replacement in the app store.

  • Apps gone after update

    Apps gone after update iPot toch touch to 5.0.1

    My guess is that the apps were not in the iTunes library on the computer on which you did the update.  Apps )and ther items like music)are nt in the backu that iTunes makes as the first step of the backup.
    To redownload:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Needs some help here please.
    Alan

    In the Advanced tab of iTunes' Preferences what is the time and date of the backup you used for the restore? It sounds like you have a backup that does not contain your dat and such. It may be that when you were having trouble updating a backup was made. Looking at the date might provide some information.

  • Sony Update Centre app gone in Lollipop? Star in notification bar?

    Two questions I have about the new Lollipop update, where has the Update Centre app gone, its the one for updating the Sony apps like Walkman, Album and Movies etc... My second question is what is the little star for in the notifications bar?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes, they are shown as updates to the preinstalled versions so Google Play should give you a notification or update them automatically depending on your setting in Google Play for automatic updates.
    But if you would like to check manually they are available here:

  • HT5957 where have my downloaded apps gone after iSO 7

    help? where have my downloaded apps gone after iSO 7

    Hi vernica,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    There are a couple of things you can try to resolve this issue.
    The first would be to restart and/or reset the iPhone.
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    Next, perform a Spotlight Search for one or more of your apps to see if they may be been moved to one of the other 5 home screens.
    iOS:  Understanding Spotlight Search
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3636
    The iPhone User Guide for iOS link below will show you how to reset your Home screen layout on page 23.
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
    If the apps still do not appear on your iPhone, you can redownload them:

  • All Mobile Apps gone from iTunes - Still on mobile devices.

    When installing Lion and Cloud the other day the Cloud folks at Apple took me through a laborious provess of changing my Apple ID. Hours on the phone.
    For many years my Apple ID has been my everyday email address .... now I was being told I must change it and create a new me.com account. I refused because I already  had a me.com account and wanted to use that. This took a bunch of hours on the phone to get my mobile devices cloud synching with my current me.com account rather than having some wild new yet another me.com  account and Apple ID. All got in sync finally ... that is my calendars, notes, and contacts.
    So, now I acquire an app using iTunes on the computer. All my Apps are now missing in iTunes and the new one is dimmed in iTunes and does not sync to my Mobile device. Obviously, even though Apple said different ID's was OK and.would not affect anything... I believe having 2 Apple ID's is the root of this problem.... maybe not.
    My store Mac purchases still, I believe, uses my original ID as does my music. Having to create multiple ID's ts not new. Several years ago when iTunes was relatively new I was asked to create another Apple ID for the iTunes Store and the 2 ID's raised havock placing song purchases here and there... it took months to get that corrected. So, I screamed when told I again had to change my devices to a second, me.com Apple ID... having one for some things another for others. That's a catastrophy waiting to happen... if ever there was one.
    So... apps are acquired.... they remain dim in iTunes and all my apps in iTunes are gone. They all remain on my mobile devices.
    I will not give up my domain name email address I have used for years and years... and should not have too! I'm sure others want to reatain their domain mane email addresses for daily use as well.

    Well I feel like a real idiot because I just realized my problem is that Applications was no longer checked in my Preferences to Show. For some reason the update unchecked it, plus it wants to run the Setup every time I start now.
    But at least my Apps are there.
    I do have the manual, btw. Thanks.

  • All apps gone after forced restart of iPad

    Hello,
    I was just developing a bit with my iPad and after the debugger got hang I had to restart my iPad by holding down the home button and the lock button for some seconds.
    After the iPad was booted up again, i noticed that all apps (expect the built in ones) where gone!!!
    Unfortionatly my last iTunes backup was a long time ago (I know... i should have done it more often...)
    But when I look at iTunes I can see a lot of "Other" space used (more that 10GB) so I think this is probably the space used by my apps...
    It would just be really uncool, because I was for example using it a lot for taking notes (Noteshelf) and that would all be gone...
    Any help is appreciated!!!
    Thanks a lot

    This did not help
    I tried to backup some of my files with PhoneView and iExplorer but could not find anything... But iTunes shows me that there is a lot of space used for "other stuff"...
    Any chance I can restore my files... I really want to have my Noteshelf drawings back!!!

  • Health App Gone Awry

    I'm using a 64 GB iPhone 6 running iOS 8.2 and starting last week the Health app has gone completely off the rails.
    I average somewhere between 6 and 7,000 steps a day (trying to work my way past 10k) but noticed 5 days ago it now shows me walking 30 to 40k, sometimes even more - example this morning I'd been out of bed 20 minutes and had only walked from my bedroom to the kitchen, yet somehow Health thought I'd already walked 18.7 miles before 7 AM.
    Is there any way to reset and/or recalibrate? Anyone have any ideas?

    You should not be able to delete Heath App. It's part of the built in iOS.
    Swipe down from the centre of your home screen to bring up spotlight and search for it with that.
    It's probably hidden itself somewhere on another home screen.

  • All downloaded apps gone?

    After update to Nokia Belle, all downloaded apps are gone including some paid apps? How I can get them back?

    On my C6-01 I went to the settings section, went into to be installed and all of my apps where there waiting to be installed. Keep in mind that some of the apps don't run on Belle. The only ones I really miss are Nokia Bubbles and an app that kept the screen from timing out.
