How to install front row on mavericks ??

I'm just updated my mac to maverick, and how can i install front row ??

Yes, Front Row works great with Mavrick 10.9.2
Copy these files from a snow-leopard installation (e.g. your backup) to the appropriate folders in Mavrick 10.9.2:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/BackRow.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iPhotoAccess.framework
Confirm the copy process by typing in your password when required. You can then change the icon Apple Script to Front Row's icon.
Open Apple Script Editor and type in:
#launch Front Row
tell application "/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app"
launch
end tell
tell application "System Events"
key code 53
end tell

How to install Front Row on PB 15"...

Hello everyone,
I have heard a little "trick" that allows you to install Front Row on PowerBook 15". Using Pacifist (www.versiontracker.com)to install the package FrontRow Updates 1.0.1...Have anyone tried this before?
I have tried but it doesn't work...
Any suggestion?
Cheers,
James
P.S. It is supposed to work only by Key Combination like Apple-Escape or something like that but I did not see the key combination in Key&Mouse Preference for Front Row.

Hi, James - I have Front Row installed on my PB and it works perfectly. In fact, I know a couple of people who are using their mobile phones as remote controls.
The problem may be that you need to install Front Row Enabler after installing Front Row. Restart after each installation. The Front Row keyboard shortcut should appear at the bottom of the list in System Preferences:
Other key commands are:
Arrow Keys - spin and move up and down
Option+Up/Down - set volume
Enter or Spacebar - select menu, playlist, song, movie, etc.
Escape - go back to previous menu/screen
Tab - return to desktop

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

Front Row disappeared? Re-installing Front Row?

My Macbook came with Front Row installed, but I haven't used Front Row in a few months. Today, as I wanted to use it, it wasn't there anymore in my applications folder. When I searched for it in Spotlight, I found two files:
1. FrontRow.pkg
2. FrontRowUpdate1.3.pkg
Both are located in the Library\Receipts Folder.
When I tried to reinstall FrontRow using either of these files, the installer starts and leads me through the installation process. However, it doesn't complete the installation citing "errors".
Can anyone explain what might have happened? Is there a way to re-install FrontRow from the OSX CDs or to download it from the website? Thanks for any help.
Macbook 2.0GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2GB RAM, 120 GB HD

Yes, Front Row does not live in the Applications folder. Because it lives in the "System" folder, Spotlight won't find it. Spotlight specifically ignores the System folder.
The two files you found, in the "Receipts" folder are indications that Front Row and the Front Row 1.3 update have already been installed. (The Software Updated looks in there to see if you're up-to-date or not.) They are just "receipts" for the previous install, they're not full installer files.
If you had needed to, you can re-install Front Row only by running the "Install Bundled Software" utility on your Mac OS X install disk. There's a "customize" window where you can manually turn on or turn off the additional software, like Front Row, that was included with your Mac.

Problem Installing Front Row

Hi, when I try to install Front Row, I can open the installer, go through the agreement stuff and choose the location, but then it always says "Please try installing again." I really can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can someone help? Thank you so much!

Why do you need to install Front Row?
Front Row only comes with the new Intel macs preinstalled and there is no need to install it. You cannot install Front Row on a PowerPC machine, expect certain iMac G5's.
If you really need Front Row, wait for Leopard which has been said to include the "Complete Package" and get Front Row the legal way with it.

Luis

Installing Front Row?

Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to install front row on a mac mini, that has a powerPC G4 porcessor. thanks.
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

In theory, you could, but you had to go through a process which involved (censored).
In practice, you should not try, because Apple Legal will make you disappear.
Apple's position appears to be that if your Mac didn't come with it, and you download it (or install it from iLife '06) and try to use it (with third-party remotes, etc.), you're a pirate and will be prosecuted as such. If you downloaded Front Row, get rid of it and any backups of it. NOW.

How to Pacifist install Front Row

cant seem to find it anywhere using Pacifist - which bundle/ where ?
TIA

In Mac OS X 10.4.x, Front Row was an application that lived only in this path:
/System/Library/Core Services/Front Row.app
The best way to get it back would be to insert your original Mac OS X install disk and run the "Install Bundled Software Only" option. Front Row is an option you can specifically check "on".

Cannot install Front Row update 1.3.1

Software update unloaded the installer for this update. I have tried to run it several times and each time receive an error message indicating that installation failed & I should try again.
Two questions:
1. How do I determine what version of Front Row is installed on my computer?
2. How can I install this update??

I was having trouble installing this update too. I finally went to the Apple downloads site and re-downloaded the update. I then tried installing it again and it worked! Try that. I don't know how to tell what version you have.

Unable to properly install Front Row!!!

My brand new 17" Mac Book Pro is having problems installing Frontrow! It wasn't even preloaded as I thought it would be. Every time I try to install it an error message comes up1 I was just wondering if this is common and if there is something I should do to install it. Thank you
TMC

I have just experienced the same problem with mine. I finally went to use it, and realized it wasn't even installed.
When I try to install it from the installer disk one of two things will happen. First it will say that the software was installed successfully and I need to reboot. Once I reboot, Front Row is nowhere to be found. All that I can find is the installation package in my Receipts folder.
If I try to install it again, the option is only for an upgrade, at which point it will tell me that an error occurred and I had to try again.
At no point in the process will Software Update tell me that I have any version of Front Row installed that may need updating either.
Prior to all this I did update to iTunes 7.0.1.
Thanks,
Clint

How to install Snow leopard over mavericks?

I bought an old computer in the fall, and tried to install MAvericks on it. It allowed me to do it, but now an error message always comes up saying that there is a compatibility issue. I read that I could buy and install Snow Leopard and then move on to mavericks once that was installed. I have purchased that, but now I am not able to install Snow leopard. I get an error message that says I cannot install snow leopard over mavricks.
My question is: how do i get rid of mavericks so that I can install snow leopard (and then eventually move on to mavericks).
Thanks

First, you installed Mavericks (10.9.x) so YOU DON'T NEED TO BUY OR INSTALL Snow Leopard (10.6.x)
That its for people whith older systems (10.5.x as example) in order to download and install Mavericks.
As you could download and install Mavericks your system was already 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8.
Second, you have installed an application that its not compatible with Mavericks, so you need to rip that only app.
That app its Quay Menu in the web, you can download the new compatible version, or manually uninstall it in order to stop that errors:
If you're upgrading to Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), you must update Quay to version 1.1.5 first!
If you've upgraded without uninstalling, you'll see a repeated error popup. To stop this, first paste this line into the Terminal:
launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/net.brockerhoff.QuayMenu.plist
and then trash the file "/Library/Application Support/Quay.quay".

How to tell Front Row to look for movies on a USB drive?

I'm working on getting all my dvd's on two 500gb usb drives - using Handbrake to encode everything. This is much faster with a new 2.4ghz 24" iMac by the way (6-8hrs on my 1.8ghz athlon vs 1-2 with the iMac...woohoo).
What I'm trying to do is get the movies (on the usb drives) to show up in Front Row. One way I know of is by making an alias for each movie and moving the alias to my "Movies" folder on the main HD. This is a little tedious. When I simply drag and drop it in the "Movies" folder it just copies it and that is not what I want. Is there a way to just tell Front Row where to look for the movies? If I use iTunes the same thing happens, it just transfers all movies to the main HD...nevermind. I unchecked the box that said to copy everything.
The plan was on using iTunes for movies I encode specifically for iPods exclusively, searching through 600+ movies to get a few for the iPod doesn't seem user friendly.
So the question remains. Is there another way to get Front Row to just see the movies on another drive without iTunes or using an alias for each one or are those 2 my only choices?

I'm glad you got it figured out. Front Row actually looks for movie files in two places. First, as you've discovered, it looks inside your user's "Movies" folder. An alias there pointing to a different location will lead Front Row to the other location. Also, Front Row looks inside iTunes for movies. This way, it can find TV shows, music videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Music Store. Another option, besides making an alias in your "Movies" folder, would be to add the movies to iTunes.

How to make front row remember playback position of avi files?

Hi,
Is there a way to make front row remember the last playback position of an avi file?
It can be frustrating having to forward to the last platback position when resuming viewing a media file.
nj

If you load the file into iTunes then Front Row will then remember its last playback position.
Not ideal I know, but it appears to be the only workaround currently.
