How can I use apple remote with Mountain Lion? Any Front Row alternative?

Hi All,
I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
All great except for my Apple Remote control.
Before, I could effectively control my iMac media with Apple Remote by using Front Row (music, photos, videos, good integration with iTunes and iPhoto).
Now, as I understand, Front Row is expired.
So, my Apple remote still works but with very limited options (just music, forward, backward and volume), and it's a real pity.
Any of you Guys know how to restore Front Row?
Otherwise maybe suggest an alternative (sth similar, should allow iMac media control by Apple Remote)?
So far I tried to restore all Front Row files by a Time Capsule Snow Leopard backup (as indicatred on some other Communities).
To restore was easy, but then, no way to launch it.
Any advice will help!
Thanks in advance/all the best.
Marco

Thanks Klaus1 for your prompt answer, although I went again through a dated discussion.
I also got the feeling that somehow they want to push Apple TV..
But, respectfully speaking towards our Friends at Apple, is it fair to promise what you don't deliver?
I have choosen apple because I percive it's different.

they do promote the following:
Apple Remote with Mac
The Apple Remote gives you total command of your music, photos, videos and DVDs from anywhere in the room. It works with Front Row - a menu-based, full-screen interface - to make accessing the digital content on your Mac as simple as navigating your iPod. When you press the Menu button, your desktop fades and the sleek, Front Row interface takes its place, to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Videos folder and your DVDs. Turn up the volume. Shuffle. Skip to the next chapter on your DVD. Play a slide show, a home video that you made in iMovie, even a film trailer.
Compatible with Apple products introduced in 2005 or later that have a built-in infrared (IR) receiver. Not compatible with MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Cost for this is 15£ (19€).
Now, I have iMac and Mac Book Pro (no retina display) both with Mountain Lion installed, and I understand both of them are not compatible with Front Row.
Actually I adore apple tv and I got 2 at home nicely working on 2 different TVs.
So I accomplished twice their wish of selling this product to me.
Why shall they deceive me (and many others, as I read) by killing a still promised service?
Should I read all forums before buying a trusted-brand-product like apple, to ensure that id does what declared?
Don't get me wrong, I'm an enthusiast user of the whole apple family, since many years, and still I am.
Just politely complaining for this decision, which creates to Many an easy avoidable disservice.
Cheers

How can I use Apple TV with iPhone 4S and no home Internet connection?

Ok here is the situation. I'm at my grandparents house where I have the following setup;
NO home Internet connection
iPhone 4S
Verizon carrier with unlimited data plan
Apple TV (I believe it's the latest one)
Lynksys router
What I would like to do is stream Netflix, HBO GO, or You Tube and put it on my grandparent's tv where I have the Apple TV hooked up.
I thought it wouldn't be a problem however I can't figure out how to be on the same network from the router and receive 3G data at the same time.
Is it possible to do what I want with this setup? If so how?
Thanks

I think I worked out a solution given my equipment. I was looking around on other forums and I found the following post concerning the ability for iPhone 4S to be on 3G and wifi simultaneously.
"I know this thread is old and op may have discovered the answer already. However, I am posting this just in case someone else might be looking for a solution.
The solution does not require any additional software nor require a jailbreak.
All you need to accomplish this is already built into every iPhone and iPad with 3G.
Connect to your wifi and write down the IP address your router assigned you. Then, select static tab instead of DHCP and fill in the IP address your DHCP server assigned to your iPad. Next, fill in the subnet mask but leave the rest of the fields empty.
You now have access to your wifi as well as 3G.
I ran into this issue when I wanted to use live traffic using 3G for my iPad's GPS and still connect to my GoFlex Satellite using wifi. It works extremely well."
AFter configuring my phone to the router, as mentioned above, I connected my Apple TV to the same router. Using the mirroring option I was able to airplay Netflix, You Tube and Flixster flawlessly from my phone to the big screen. Direct TV and HBO GO did not work however.
I Then tried to access items directly from Apple TV thinking that it could use the data from my phone. I was wrong. So all in all I'm able to stream about half of my movie entertainment applications given my situation. I'm pleased.

Using Apple remote with macbook display closed

Hi ,
I have a macbook connected to LCD TV with HDMI connection .
Is there a way to use Apple remote with display closed .
examples of using apple remote with display closed would be
(1) waking the macbook with apple remote
(2) putting the macbook to sleep with apple remote
(3) Shutting down the macbook with apple remote

while doing this should I connect the macbook to power source.

you must have to have a keyboard or mouse to trigger the macbook wake up from sleep when you close the lid.
usb mouse is not that expensive and you can start with that.

Can I use apple remote with podcasts app?

Hello,
I usually connect my iPhone to an external speaker to list to music or podcasts when I'm at house. I was thinking of purchasing the Apple Remote so I can change tracks without having to go near the iPhone.
Does anyone know if the remote works with the Podcasts app? Wouldn't want to spend money if it doesn't.
Thank you

The Apple Remote doesn't work with an iPhone. It's an infra red device. iPhones and iPads don't have infra red receivers. If you use BT speakers, you can keep the phone with you. For our kitchen stereo, which doesn't have BT, I have a BT dongle that plugs into the headphone jack and lets me transfer audio that way.

Remotes don't sync. They pair with your BlueTooth.

Using Apple Remote with TV?

Is there any way to use the Apple Remote to control my TV? My TV remote broke but I have an old Apple Remote. Can it be reprogrammed to work with any IR receiver (ie my television)?

Stephen is correct.
Select "Add a Device" > "Computer/Media Center PC" > Manufacturer: "Apple" > Type in: "Apple TV" > Then simply answer the questions about what other devices are to do what when you are using this device. i.e. "Use my receiver to adjust the volume" for example.
By default the directional buttons and select button will move your pointer and dive in to your selections. I believe the Menu button backed out to top menus, but I may have manually set that up.
Either way, it works flawlessly. Good luck!

Using Apple Remote with Powerpoint

Hey folks -
Is there any way to get Powerpoint and the Apple Remote that comes with the MacBooks to work together? I know the remote will work with Apple's preso software, but I'd rather see it work with PP. Has anyone tried?
Thanks!

I got mine to work much more easily with iRed Lite. I got the left and right remote buttons to work just fine to simuate the 'up' and 'down' keystrokes used for the presentation. I used the 'up' remote button to simulate 'b' for black screen, 'down' for 'w' to get a white screen, and hold the 'play' button to simulate 'esc' to end show.
As far as starting the slideshow, I didn't use Applescript, I just used a keyboard shortcut from System Preferences-->Keyboard & Mouse pane-->Keyboard shortcuts tab to create a shortcut for 'view show' or 'view presenter tools'. The one catch, though, is that in some apps, like PowerPoint, the keyboard shortcuts won't work until the menu containing the command with the shortcut is opened. I guess the system has to tell PowerPoint about the shortcut, and doesn't realize the menu item is there until the menu is opened. This isn't true for all apps. Anyway, then all you have to do is set the play button to the same keystroke as you set in Keyboard Shortcuts, and remember to open that menu sometime after launching PowerPoint and before you want to start your presentation.
