How do I get front row to see external drive

I have my home movies stored on an external drive connected to my iMac, but front row can't seem to see the external drive. Anyone help me on this?

Never mind. I figured it out. I have to create an alias folder of the movie folder on the external drive and stick it in the imovie folder on the mac.

  • How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

    Hello fellow Mac users,
    How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
    I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

    I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
    There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
    Thanks!
    Best,
    Tony

  • Moved front row to trash and deleted in error.  How do I get front row back on?

    Front row was moved to trash and deleted trash in error.  How do I get front row back?

    Front Row is one of the awesome applications that require an OS reinstall to get back.
    Or if you don't want to do that you can always use Pacifist. http://www.charlessoft.com/
    It essentially lets you pull out specific information from your install disc so you don't have to reinstall everything, just what you need.
    Can you still open it with Command+Esc though? You may not have fully removed it.

  • How do I get my Mac to recognize external drive filled with 5 projects, created at Apple Store?

    How do I get my Mac to recognize external drive filled with 5 projects, created at Apple Store?

    Hi Tom,
    I'm so impressed with how you help everyone solve their problems. I will do my best here, but my husband will be home soon and knows how this large external is formatted.
    How late do you all work there? I'm on east coast. Is the screen shot you wanted? I opened up external and
    this is what I see.
    Drive is connected to usb in back of computer. N

  • When syncing my ipod, how do I get it to look at external drives for music stored them?  It just tells me it can't find something and gives me no option to tell it where it is located.

    Hi SouthMountainSound,
    It sounds like the tracks may be missing from your iTunes library. When tracks in iTunes display a it means the file cannot be located; it may have been moved or deleted. If it cannot be located, this may cause the issue of not being copied to your iPod. For this issue, we will need to refer to the following article:
    iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1408
    Alternatively, if your media was downloaded from the iTunes Store, you may be able to download it again free of charge:

  • How do I get Front row?

    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   I ave posted because I cannot find where to download Front row...obviously I am new to Macs...someone help me!

    If you have a MacBook Pro, you don't need to download FrontRow, it came installed on your machine.
    Press and hold the menu button on your remote to invoke Front Row (or click Command-Escape on the keyboard).

  • I suddenly lost all my access to my songs.  I have them on an external drive.  How do I get iTunes to recognize my external drive as my library source like it always has been?

    I was using my iTunes Library and it is now gone.  I have my songs stored on an external drive.  I checked the connections and they seem OK.  I can't get the iTunes screen to show the sync button nor find my library.  Does anyone have a suggestion?

    Was the media solely on the external library?  If so, it is likely that iTunes was started at some point with the external drive unaccessible.  Simply point iTunes to the correct library location.  To do this, close iTunes.  Hold <SHIFT> and launch iTunes.  When prompted to find library or create a new one, select the find option and point iTunes to where the iTuneslibrary.itl file is at on your computer (or external drive).

  • Get Front Row to play from HVDVD_TS folder

    How can I get Front Row to play content from a HVDVD_TS folder. It works great with standard VIDEO_TS folders (under Leopard/Snow Leopard) but it doesn't seem to recognise my DVD Studio Pro generated HVDVD_TS folder.
    Thx!

    I have the same problem with remote control device (infrared) and FrontRow as many other users, see links below.
    And yes, I have tried all the described "remedies", but the problem is still there.
    The problem is that after boot, FrontRow reacts to the remote ok (about 10-15 minutes), but then
    FrontRow stops responding to remote control commands. However, FrontRow can be controlled by keyboard
    commands all the time. If iMac is now booted, the problem is still there. The only way I have had FrontRow
    and remote work ok (for 10-15 mins) is shutting down iMac, waiting an hour or so, and then booting it. I'm just
    wondering is this hardware problem (related to e.g. temperature ?), problem with FrontRow itself, or problem with
    related daemons. Anyway, I hope that this is sw problem, and Apple could fix quite soon in next FrontRow or Mac OS X
    update. Otherwise, I'm 100% sure to replace my iMac because of this stupid little bug (that seemed to be the only
    working remedy).

  • X220 with Intel Series 310 80 GB mSATA SSD (How do you get Win 7 to see drive

    Hi Everyone,
    I am the proud owner of a new x220 with the following spec:
    * i7 2.70GHz
    * * gis mem
    * Bios version 1.21
    * running Win 7 64-bit professional.
    * 320 hd
    I am very proud of my self for installing the Intel Series 310 80 GB mSATA SSD by myself (not very technical).  
    1. If I hit F12 on boot up the drive is available.  
    2. Running Lenovo Think Vantage Tool Box and it sees the Intel SSDMAEMC080G2 drive...
    The question I have is that windows does not see this as a drive from my computer..ect.  My question is how to I get Win 7 to see this drive so I can move my win 7 to it and set as a the boot drive.
    What step am I missing???  Thanks everyone for your help!!!

    Hi, guys
    If you whant to use the msata drive as the 2nd drive in the system you've to initialize it.
    For making it bootable the are seveal methods. I've used the next two:
    1. I used Intel Data Migration Software tool (based on Acronis technology) to transfer all image from the stock hdd to the new Intel SSD drive 320 Series (120 gb). At this moment the new drive was plased into the external usb box. Then I've booted from the new drive and resized the partitions using the Disk Management applet.
    2. The second method is to use the factory recovery media (USB stick in my case). I did that for the new msata SSD drive (non Intel 128 gb). Insert the new drive, boot from the usb stick, fully recover, reboot into the bios setup, change the boot priority for the new drive, reboot from the new drive, resize the partitions and delete the Lenovo_recovery partition on the new drive. I'm sure the cloning tool will work for msata too.
    No actions were carried out with the SSD drives (I mean initializing, partioning...) before data migrating in both cases.
    x220 | i5-2520m | Intel ssd 320 series | Gobi 2000 3G GPS | WiFi
    x220 | i5-2520m | hdd 320 | Intel msata ssd 310 series | 3G GPS | WiFi
    Do it well, worse becomes itself

  • How do I install Front Row for my MacBook Air with Lion OS

    I need to know how to simply install Front Row onto my MacBook Air with Lion OX 10.7.4. Please help.

    Front Row is indeed "gone." There are alternatives, but first look at these links:

  • How do I uninstall Front Row Enabler (Andrew Escobar) ??

    hey everybody
    im on a powerbook g4 (power pc) and on 10.4.7
    i did that stupid andrew escobar - Front Row Enabler so I could have Front Row on my non-infared powerbook.
    it seemed like a cool idea for awhile, now i am in desperate need to update to 10.4.11.
    it says in many forums that if you install any 10.4.8 - 10.4.11, front row's bezel patches will crash your computer into a blue screen and you will not be able to login.
    i am nervous to update, but i am in desperate need to. does anyone here know how to uninstall this Front Row Enabler? if you would be so kind, that would be great.
    thanks,
    smitt

    actually i answered my own question
    i located the front row app, deleted it
    then i redownloaded my 10.4.7 PPC pkg from Apple
    then using pacifist (free DL at versiontracker) i extracted the 2 bezel files (that front row enabler patched to get Front Row to work on a non-Front Row working machine)
    i then replaced the corrupted 2 bezel files with the original 10.4.7 bezel files (non-patched) and simply restarted and now it allowed me to update to 10.4.11
    here's the specific instructions, smittay
    Manually Uninstalling Front Row:
    1. Delete Front Row (/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app).
    2. Download Mac OS X Update 10.4.7 Combo PPC from Apple.
    3. Open the disk image
    4. Download Pacifist and copy application to the Application folder.
    5. Use Pacifist to open the Mac OS X Update Installer package file (which ends in .pkg)
    6. Search for “bezel” and install only these two specific files folders:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BezelServices.framework/
    /System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin/
    7.Restart.

  • How can I move Front Row to a different display?

    I love using Front Row with my MacBook, but I'd love it even more if I could move Front Row from my main display on my laptop onto my second display--a TV screen. I own a Apple mini-DVI to RCA & S-video adapter, and I use this to connect to my TV screen. Obviously, I can get Front Row on my TV screen by turning on Mirror Displays or setting the TV screen as my main screen (dragging the menu bar icon to the second display in the Displays system preference), but both these methods require me to sacrifice use of my desktop on my laptop while I use Front Row.
    Simply put, can I possibly (even sneakily) move Front Row to my second display? Thanks for any help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, since Front Row has no preferences you can actually change, there's no way to change the screen now. (Besides the work arounds you've already discovered.) I would send Apple some Mac OS X feedback (since Front Row is considered part of OS X, not a stand-alone application) and let them know you'd like to be able specify the screen. You're not the first person here to ask for that option.
