  • How to play itunes music library from iMac using apple remote? Can only use my iPhone as a REMOTE to play on itunes to Apple TV!!

    how can i how can I play itunes library on my IPHONE4 from IMAC using APPLE REMOTE? I can only use my iPhone 4 as a REMOTE to play itunes from IMac to APPLE TV. 

    You cannot.  The remote app is exclusively for remotely controlling an apple tv for playback of a library on your computer.  If you want to play your computer's music on your iPhone you just use home sharing on both devices and play the music in the Music app on your phone, not using the Remote app on your phone.

  • ISight, Front Row and Apple remote problems

    I've been using my iMac G5 with the built in iSight for a month now with no problems, however a few days ago I tried to pause iTunes with the remote and nothing happend.
    I have since tried to use Front Row and cannot launch it with the keyboard shortcuts, or indeed, find it anywhere on my hard drive. Very strange as I have certainly not deleted it and only updated it to 1.01 recently.
    I have also tried to use my iSight to test the remote using an Apple help sheet but when I launch iChat AV it tells me I have no camera installed! I know it did work as I took a photo of myself when I first set the Mac up.
    Apple's advice on deselcting the 'Disable remote control infrared receiver' checkbox in 'system preferences>scurity' confuses me further as I cannot find this checkbox anywhere.
    I have performed all the updates with Software Updat, repaired permissions and checked the disk with no problems found.
    Any advice?
    Thanks in advance. Jon

    Front Row will be included with the next version of Mac OS X to come out next year, version 10.5 (Leopard). Until it's released, there is no legal way for you to use Front Row. Also, until it's released, we won't know what hardware will work with it (as far as remote controls). If history is any indication, it will be a $129 upgrade for your current Mac mini.
    There are a couple of options for you right now, though. There's a shareware program called Media Central that will work similar to Front Row for you.

  • How to set Updates with 11.3 when using Apple Remote Desktop for installation?

    So for all pre-11.3 versions of Flash Player on OSX, I have just pulled out the "Adobe Flash Player.pkg" installer package from the installer .dmg and used Apple Remote Desktop to deploy Flash to the Macs I manage.
    However, when doing that with Flash 11.3, this leaves the "Updates" setting in the Flash Player System Preference set to "Notify me to install updates".
    I'd like to push something that would set this to "Allow Adobe to install updates".
    Is there a way to modify the .pkg installer to have the System Preference set to that value (or push/copy some other .plist file to the clients to have that setting enabled?)
    Thanks!

    I poked around a bit and the file seems to be:
    /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg
    I'd like to get some confirmation from Adobe that this is the correct file to push, though (it seems like it as it only contains this):
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1

  • 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.
    At currently published link: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC377Z/A/apple-remote
    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 do you repeat songs in Front Row

    I could nto find any repeat option in front row. Its really annoying. AFter the album plays all the songs, it just stops. Is there no repeat song or repeat all option like in the iPod?

    If you turn on the repeat option in iTunes, then start Front Row, go to the song you want to play, it will repeat until you go to the next song.
    Hope this helps,

  • How do i delete photos on front row

    How do i delete photo albums on front row? I have deleted all photos of my Imac but the albums are still on the front row (they even say there are photos in them but when you play them its just a black screen).

    I'd try deleting  ~/Library/Preferences/frontrow.plist
    ~ is your user directory.

  • How to play .cdr files in Front Row without Toast

    I just created an image of a few personal home DVD's using the Disk Utility and created as a CD/DVD Master images having extension .cdr . They load fine and I am able to play them via DVD Player, but I wish to see it in Front Row.
    I found from the internet that one can use Toast to load such images but I do not have Toast and cannot shell out USD 70/80 for it.
    I cannot use Disk Assist as well since this will mean I will have to copy folder from disk to another folder which will be a pain. I certainly will not want to have 2 copies. I don't wish to delete the .CDR .
    Is there another way I can see those DVD's in Front Row?

  • How to Go to Desktop from Front Row at Once

    In Front Row, I should click Esc several times to go to Desktop. It's sort of annoying. Is there one-click way to go to Desktop while watching DVDs in Front Row?

    Funny you should ask - I have been wondering the same thing!
    So in a flash of inspired lateral thinking I thought of the command to quit any application: Command-Q.
    That got me from the list of movie trailers right back to the desktop in one fell swoop.
    Feel free to use this method until I get around to patenting it!

  • Can Front Row use external HDs for Movies?

    Hey, I download and store podcasts, vidcasts, and movies on my external USB/firewire HD and I was wondering if Front Row could play them off of there. From what I've read, Front Row accesses movie files from ~/Movies but not elsewhere. Could I perhaps add an alias to the folder with my other movies to trick Front Row into playing them?

    No no no...you don't need iTunes, but yes, you can do it. I just posted this in another thread so here it is again...this is how I do it. For short, I put an alias of the folder on the external drive (or just a separate partition on internal HD) into my Movies folder, and it works! Here you go, from http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1837976#1837976:
    [quote]All you have to do is make an alias of the folder your videos are in and put it in your Movies folder in your Home folder. To do this, click and drag the folder on your external drive where your videos are stored. Hold down Command and Option, then drop the folder in your Movies folder, noting the little arrow indicating you are making an alias.
    The same can be done with your iTunes setup if you're clever. Move your iTunes folder out of your Music folder in your Home folder and onto your external drive, then put all your music files inside the iTunes folder in iTunes Music. Then make an alias of your iTunes folder back into your Music folder in your Home folder. Aliases can also be made by selecting a file and choosing Make Alias from the File menu in the Finder.
    I have used this setup for awhile, even over a network for a period. Works great. Good luck. [/quote]

  • Opening Front Row Using Applescript

    I have created a sleep timer for Front Row but I would like if Front Row would open when I run the sleep timer. I have tried the normal activate command as well as open and launch but none of these open front row.
    Can anyone show me some code that will open Front Row automatically?
    Thanks for the help.

    That still didnt open Front Row.
    I was wondering if it was possibly to use the keyboard shortcut to activate front row. the command escape keys pressed together open front row. I dont know how to do that using applescript though.
    Thanks for the effort though.
