Good internet applications that stream TV and integrate w/ front row?

I have an HDMI cable for my laptop, which lets me view content from my laptop on my TV. I'd like to start watching TV that's streamed from the laptop, but I don't want it to be a clunky user experience. Does anyone know of a good app. which allows easy watching of TV (news esp. CNN, etc. and preferably streamed) and a good user interface. It would also be sweet to integrate w/ front row so I can use the apple remote and not need to sit over my laptop.
I'm kind of new to this arena, so any advise/tips would be awesome!
Thanks!

I have been having a different problem. When I watch a DVD in Front Row, the remote works fine on the initial DVD menu, but if I select the "bonus material", the remote won't work right on that menu. I can't move the cursor around. If I press up or down it reverts to controlling the volume, and left/right just bring up the progress bar. I have tried this with several different DVD's.

  • Is there an application that will open and view MS publisher?

    Is there an application that will open and View MS Publisher files?

    Afraid not. You can run Windows on your Mac then run Publisher in Windows. You can find out then if Publisher can export in a "standardized" format other applications might import.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Creating exe for application that contains ARINC and MIL Codes

    Hi all,
    I am not able to create exe for my application that contains ARINC and MIL. To be precise, the ARINC and MIL part is not working in the exe created. 
    Please tell me how to create an EXE with ARINC and MIL codes.

    Did you install the according device drivers on the target machine? And no I don't mean the instrument drivers that you use in LabVIEW but the OS device drivers from NI (resp. AIT), that will access the hardware boards and provide an interface to the LabVIEW application. I would expect them to be part of the AIT SDK kit that comes with the boards.

  • Sharing iTunes and then using Front Row

    I have been downloading all the album artwork just like everyone else is, now that iTunes 7 is out.
    I have run across a small problem and a fix I would like to pass along for people having problems viewing the album artwork on a computer that is sharing the iTunes from another computer and then using Front Row.
    First off, the artwork for me seems to work fine on all individual computers that have the songs and the album artwork on it.
    When I shared my 'master or main' computer iTunes with my Mini Mac Intel, I then played the music using Front Row but the majority of the album covers would not show up.
    For some reason only a few of the album covers were showing up in Front Row on the shared computer. It took me quite awhile to figure out that the only album covers that were showing up were the album covers that I dragged and copied onto the main computers iTunes album window.
    I don't know if anyone has found anything easier to fix this problem but I went ahead a copied all of the album artwork, one by one, on the main computer into the iTunes artwork window. Now, all the computers that access the main computer via sharing, shows the album artwork when using Front Row.
    I hope I explained this clear enough.
    Here is a photo of my Mac Mini hooked up to my TV, playing Front Row and using the shared iTunes Library from my main computer which is an iMac G5.
    http://users.sisqtel.net/jkriz/MacMini/frontrow_albumcovers.jpg
    I needed to use the flash for this photo because it was getting dark but I think you get the idea.
    I know I could have put all my music on the Mini Mac or any of my other computers and I wouldn't have had to go through all of this... but then I would have trouble keeping all of my computers music up to date. This way, I only have to keep the main computer up to date with all of my music. Much easier.
    If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.
    I hope the rest of you can benefit from this tip.

    Bizmarck,
    Well, this is interesting.
    When I first read your question I said to myself, of course I can play the shared slideshow along with the selected shared music.....
    Well, I'm glad I tried it out first before I posted this as I cannot play the selected songs on the shared slideshow. All I could play was the Minuet in "G"....
    I could have sworn I used to be able to do this with 10.4.7 and Front Row 1.2
    However, I could be wrong.
    I have tried everything.
    I have the Serving computers iTunes and iPhoto open and to allow sharing of both.
    On the Mac Mini which is playing the shared items from the serving computer, I can turn off the music but I cannot select a song from the shared library in iPhoto. All the library shows for music selection on the Mac Mini is the music that is on the Mac Mini.
    Apparently Apple has more work to do if this is going to work.
    It is interesting to me that we cannot play a shared slideshow along with the shared music that was selected with that slideshow.
    If the selected song from the shared slideshow is already on the Mac Mini, then I can choose it, but I cannot choose any other songs unless they are on the Mac Mini.....
    It seems that Front Row will not play the selected shared song from the shared slideshow. Front Row only wants to play the songs that are on the Mac Mini for any of the shared slideshows... BUMMER.......
    If you open iPhoto (not Front Row) on the Mac Mini, then select a shared slideshow, then click on the 'Play' button. You will see that Minuet in "G" is selected to play on that shared slideshow. I turned all of mine OFF for the time being as I am tired of the sample music also.
    If I come up with anything new I will post it here.
    Thanks for sharing this information.

  • Application that sets up and starts internet sharing

    I'm new to OS X programming and was hoping to get some ideas in solving a problem i'm having.
    Need to create an application that will set up internet sharing with specific configurations (Firewire and airport only) and then start it.
    I have been playing around with applescript to automate the gui controls of System Preferences and it works pretty good. However its very annoying that the gui needs to be displayed to do this.
    MS provides an API called INetSharingConfiguration that enables network connection bridging in visual studio. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365935(VS.85).aspx I would be surprised if apple did not provide something of the same, however I have not been able to find it.
    Does anyone have knowledge of a framework or API that could be used in xcode to get the same thing done? Suggestions would also be helpful.
    Also, If I have to stay with applescripting the gui controls, is there a way to hide the gui when this is activated?

    still looking for a good solution but I did come across a plist file that seems to hold these settings. /Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.nat.plist
    Has anyone successfully modified this file and started internet sharing by using it?

  • I have a mac Book that will not open DVD's of Business Presentations.  I had my hard drive taken in to the Mac Store and had a new hard drive installed.  Since then I cannot open DVD's.  What is the application that I need, and the process. Tks

    I have a mac book that will not open up DVD's recorded with a presentation.  I install the disc in a HP / windows 7 and it works fine.  I had my hard drive replaced and since then I cannot open up DVD's.  Was there a application that did not get installed?  And if so what is the process.

    You need DVD Player. It should be in your Applications folder. If it is in there go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs and for "When you insert a video DVD" make sure DVD Player is selected.

  • My iPod Touch has an Application that is Waiting and Will Not Download!

    I have this application on my iTouch, and it is stuck on Waiting... and it will not download, and I cannot delete it. How can I get rid of it?! Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you already try to reset your device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again?
    Did you try to tap on the icon until it starts to shake and then hit the little cross to delete it?

  • Apple TV and Leopard's Front Row 2

    Anyone using an AppleTV with Leopard yet? From what I understand, the new Front Row interface in Leopard is basically the aTV, and the new FR natively plays VIDEO_TS folders... Can we hope for the same in aTV?

    Front Row in Leopard is actually much better for viewing Photos than an Apple TV, because it shows you your iPhoto 08 Events, complete with a number in brackets showing how many photos are in that Event.

  • I have a MacBook Pro and one day, my dock disappeared and so did the time, the battery percentage, and the spotlight!  The left side of my top bar is still there showing the Apple sign with the application that is open and other options. I need help!!

    Help pls!

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

  • How do I fix a Safari application that slows down and freezes everything?

    Apple called last fall and said my particular Mac had a hard disk problem and they replaced it at the Apple store in late January 2013.  I backed up the information on an external harddrive and used Time Machine before to transfer all the information to the new drive. Everything worked well and I finally put on Mountain Lion at 10.8.4.  I also have Carbonite as a backup and it apparently was not enabled when I transferred the files until early May.  In early May I had not used my iMac for about a month and when I started it I found about 40 named file folders on the Desktop that were empty.  Some of those had named items in them but when I clicked on them they would dissappear.  The actual files did exist and were not effected when I dumped the apparent alias folders. Safari started and would be ok at first but if I went away for an hour it would slow down.  I took it in to the Genius Bar at Apple and they ran some tests and got rid of MacKeeper which they felt was causing the problem.  I got my Mac back home and it still started slow but worked well at first and then started going slow.  If I opened Word it would also start working at a slower speed.  I needed to force quit Safari and the Word progran in order to quit or restart the Mac.  I got an appointment for the next day and they ran all sorts of tests and the hard drive was working normally. They tried tweeking different areas and sent me home again.  When I started working again it did the same thing, I would start out fine and eventually slow down and needed to be force quit to get out of it. A message came up indicating my MasOSX startup disk had no more space available for applications memory.  I took it in a third time and the Genius went to the Activity Monitor and the Safari PID was 221 and %CPU 107, Threads 21 Real Mem 2.73 GB, Virtual Mem 22.00 Kind, Intel (64).  I had no idea what that meant. I went home again and it still ran slow and couldn't run the programs for any length of time before it ran slow and affected the other programs so they would only quit if I used Force quit.  I took it in for the forth time an they decided to keep it overnight. They ran ASD first to rule out memory.  They noticed during the appointment the computer was slow to perform normal tasks such as showing boot options, booting into user, bootingto external user.  If the ASD passed then they would perform erase and install and only restore users and application files from backup drive.  They did this on Wed and Thur. night and I took it home Friday night, June 14 and it still has the same problem. Typing this message right now means typing and waiting for the words to appear.

    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 that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    { sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.
