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 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 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

How to disable the Front Row?

Hi, all.
I would like to try Media Central for the next few weeks.
However as soon as I start using the remote control, FR is called.
I still want to keep the FR, just would like to disable it for time being.
Any advise will be appreciated.
mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

is there another way to open Media Central?? i dont think you can disable Front Row because its like a screensaver you just cant disable it. i mean that Front Row runs in the backround and doesnt show it runs in the Dock. if you do uninstall front row theres a way to get it back i have the link to reinstall Front Row you just need Mac OS X 10.4.5 which i assume you have.

Front Row Enabler

Has anyone downloaded Ralph Perdomo's Front Row Enabler to Lion, and was it successful?

There are limitations. See http://www.mac-hatter.com/blog/frontrowenablerforlion for details.

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 we get Front row to get photos from Aperture

Do you have previews enabled? Front Row will require previews.

Uninstalling Front Row on Lion

ok, I've installed front row via the Mac Hatter loader for Lion. But now I can't seem to get rid of it. Do I simply delete the files that were loaded via the loader or do I need the lion versions of those files?
it loads these:
From: http://www.mac-hatter.com/blog/frontrowenablerforlion
/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.framework
/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteUI.plist
/Applications/Front Row.app
can I simply delete them to get front row off my computer again?
Reasons: I have XBMC which is a little better at doing what I want it to do.

I used clean my mac by macpaw to uninstall it but it didn't do it completely. even though Front Row doesn't show up in the applications folder or in spotlight, it still initiates after selecting Menu on the remote or cmd ESC.
I want to know if deleting these files mentioned above would harm my installation of lion as I didn't back up anything before doing this. you say yes but then you say, just delete it like any other app, but this is a "system app" and doesn't uninstall as easily as draggin the .app into the trash.

Lost FRONT ROW after completing download of OS Mavericks. How can I recover FRONT ROW?

Have eventually managed to download Mavericks on my 2009 macbook ( at 2am!!!). Installation fine BUT I no longer have FRONT ROW on my system. Is this a gremlin? How can I get it back? All assistance greatly appreciated.

Front Row was withdrawn with the introduction of Lion as it does not officially work with later versions of OS X. Apple prefer you to use AppleTV.
Other threads here suggest a way of having Front Row with Mavericks. I have no idea of they work.

How do i get Front Row back?

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.

How do I point Front Row to a media server using AppleShare?

I haven't used Front Row much. Does it have to use the same library as my iTunes? What I'd like to do is point Front Row on my various Macs to my Lacie Media server. I fooled around with "settings" in Front Row but I'm not finding the server on my network.

Drag an alias of your movies folder from the media server to your Front Row computer's movies folder inside your home account. Front Row will allow you to navigate using that alias.

How do I get front row to see external drive
