I upgraded to OS X  Mavericks however I cannot access Front Row

Hi,
I used to be able to call up the menu screen on our iMac using the remote, however I cannot do this any more.
My daughter upgraded our system to OS X Mavericks and now I cannot access Front Row.
The Red Chair icon is not in our applications list either
I tried to download an update to Front Row and the message reads that this update require Front Row so it can update.
I cannot find Front Row anywhere.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The $99 alternative to Front Row is the AppleTV box.  You connect it to an HDMI port on your TV and to the internet either wirelessly or wired.
You turn on Home Sharing on both iTunes and AppleTV and you will have access to all of the compatible media from your computer while iTunes is running
If you have an iPhone or iPad and depending upon the age of your iMac, it supports AirPlay, which will "move" the media you are watching from these devices to your TV through the AppleTV.  If your iMac is too old, look at Air Parrot.
In addition to access to the iTunes Store, AppleTV gives you many extras, such as subscription required services such as Netflix, HBOGO, PBS, Smithsonian, and many more that do not require a subscription (for example, when travelling I watch the NBC Nightly News as a free Podcast).

  • I am trying to install the cs5 upgrade on my new laptop, however, I cannot locate my cs4 program to install first.  Am I out of luck?

    I am trying to install the cs5 upgrade on my new laptop, however, I cannot locate my cs4 program to install first.  Am I out of luck?

    You do not need the older version installed in order to install the upgrade version, but you do need the serial number from CS4 to prove that you qualify for using CS5.  During the activation process for CS5, after you successfully enter the CS5 serial number you will be asked to select the qualifying version (CS4) from a list and to enter its serial number.
    If you registered CS4 when you originally installed it then you might be able to find the serial number available in your Adobe account online in the Products section.

  • I have a big problem with Lion and PGP. After upgrading from snow leopard to lion I cannot access my PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start but gives a notion that lion cannot work with my PGP version. Solution?

    After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion I cannot access a PGP drive which was generated under snow leopard. PGP does not start. When I try to start I just receive a message that Lion cannot work with PGP. How can I now access important and confifential informatio which I have stored in PGP (snow leopard). Do I have to move back to snow leopard. If so, how can I do this? 

    If you have this product,

    you have to go back to Snow Leopard.
    To re-install SL, back up your home directory, format and re-install.

  • After upgrade from snow leopard to lion, where is application front row?

    After upgrade from snow leopard to lion, where is application front row? i realize it when to use my remote. any one knows about this matter?

    OK - Fixed it. 
    Turns out the cure is to use the Webcal Interface to re-create the delegations.  A bit tedious, but doing this presumably forces a rewrite of the file that previously cannot be accessed.  Means you need to set up the delegation again for each account - but this at least is an improvement over not being able to do anything at all.
    Once fixed, delegation works just fine.
    Hope this helps someone else solve the issue etc.

  • I am setting up a lab of imacs in a school.  I have successfully bound the imacs to our network and can log in using the windows account.  However, I cannot access my files.  Is there another step?

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • Printer Sharing after upgrading to iTunes 8, Quicktime 7.5.5 and Front Row

    Hi,
    Yesterday I upgraded iTunes, Quicktime and Front Row. Print Sharing which has been working with no problems since I purchased a HP Photosmart D5360 is now broken. I have tried uninstalling the printer on both host and client computers, turning sharing on and off, rebuilding permissions on both host and client.
    Wondering if any others have experienced any problems after installing these recent updates?
    Cheers,

    Have fixed the problem.
    Deleted the printer from the client computer. Reset the printer on the host computer. Used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the Host computer. Added the printer back onto the host computer. Turned print sharing back on.
    Used Disk Utility to repair permissions on the client computer. Added the printer back onto the client computer. Can now connect to and print from the client computer.
    Have a good day.

  • Upgraded 2 macs to Mavericks, can no longer access shared folders/files.

    So I upgraded my Macbook Pro, and Mac Mini to Mavericks today, and previously when they were both on mountain lion I could access the shared folders/files and screen share with absolutely no issue whatsoever.
    But upon updating to Mavericks today it all broke.
    Both computers were running the OS X Server software on Mountain Lion, and I went ahead and purchased/installed the new edition of server that came out today.
    I can see the other mac under the "Shared" option in Finder's sidebar, but when I try to open the other mac it says connection failed and offers to "connect as"
    As I usually do, I connect as and it asks for the login credentials. I put in the same credentials as before, 150% sure they're right, in the text boxes that I used before, but it won't allow me to connect to the mac.
    I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they're the right credentials.
    I thought it may have been just a wonky permissions error so I unshared the folders and reshared using the same permissions that had worked before.
    I've been working on it for about 3 hours now so any help would be appreciated.

    I upgraded my two machines - now when I access files on the "shared" storage array (a thunderbolt, pegasus array) across the network (ethernet) if I modify the file (for instance, a jpg) and then go to save I get a "you don't have permissions to etc...." and then when I just close the file without saving - it disappears from my file server permanently! even if I go to the machine hooked up to the array the file is "gone" - unbelievable. I have updated permissions where I can, deleted and added the sharing for users, tried SMB and AFP, and even downgraded the "sharing" machine back to OSX 10.8 where it was working fine but the client machine still is doing this where it can connect, see all the files, but as soon as I modify a file I get the warning and bam, it's gone forever....
    Wow - this is a doozy. I don't have a fix but WARNING - watch out as you are working on this problem that your files are being vanished permanently.

  • I have my iTunes library on external drive and can access from any PC. However I cannot access from new MacBokk Air.

    My iTunes library is on an external drive and been using it on two PCs with no problem.
    Now that I got a new MacBook Air I want to access the same iTunes library from the external drive and keep all the library and media on that external drive.
    When I try to change to another iTunes library by hitting "option" with iTunes and select the library on the external hard drive I get the following message:
    "The iTunes library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do noy have write permission for this file."
    I have read many posts in which many suggest to go to the library or media file on the PC and right click to make sure the read only tab is not checked.
    I uncheked the read only tab and gave full permission to all the iTunes files and folders.
    The unusual part is that I can use this external drive on many PCs that I have tried with no problem at all.
    I just select a different library, which is on my external hard drive and everything works, play lists and everything.
    However, when I try it on a MAC i get the message stated above:
    What can I do to be able to access my External iTunes library from new MacBook Air while keeping everything on the external drive like I can on PCs?
    I am running latest version of iTunes and Mavericks.
    Please advise.

  • Since upgrading my 3GS iPhone to iOS5 I cannot access my Gmail any longer

    Hello all
    I upgraded my 3GS to iOS5 last week and was having problems with battery life. One suggestion I saw on these forums was to delete and re-add my email account to fix the problem. Big mistake.
    I deleted my Gmail account, which I access through Exchange in order to get push email. I re-added, which should have been a simple process. I know everything I put in was exactly the same as the deleted account, but now I keep getting a pop-up telling me that my username or password is incorrect. Sometimes I get another telling me that the Gmail server is inaccessible, too. I have tried deleting the account several times and re-adding it, but I keep getting the same problem.
    I have tried the unlock captcha fix that I've seen as a solution on various forums, but to no avail.
    In the meantime, I have set up my Gmail through the Gmail (rather than Exchange) option and I have no problem getting that to work. But I understand that doesn't offer the push email function - correct me if I'm wrong? Certainly it's not as quick to tell me I have an email, so I'd really love to fix this and get back to what I had set up before.
    Thanks.

    Hi Shady
    Thanks for your help. My gmail account uses just the stock standard sign-in process - just needs a password.
    But in checking to make sure that was correct, I saw the option on Gmail to set up a two-stage verification process, and then generate an app-specific password for my iPhone. I thought that might be a way around it, so I set up the two-step verification process and then generated an app-specific password for the iPhone and tried to re-add my gmail account with Exchange...
    Same problem. Works fine when I set it up through the Gmail option, but through the Exchange option I get the dreaded password pop-up.
    At least my Gmail account is now more secure!

  • I have just upgraded my iPad2 to iOS.5 and cannot access iBooks?

    I think I missed something. Up uploaded 10s.5 onto iPad2 and cannot access the iBooks where I have puchsed books and other items that I have down loaded? Can anybody explain what I have done wrong?

    Before you did the update did you copy your purchases (apps, books, music etc) from the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases ? If not then you can re-download books, apps, and if you are in the US music and TV shows, for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 - as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to purchase them.
    If you download the apps onto your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to the backup made during the update and see if that restores the apps and their content to the iPad

  • Cannot access Facebook since Mavericks upgrade

    Since I updated my Snow Leopard to Mavericks about a month ago, I've been unable to access Facebook through Safari, Google Chrome, or any other browser. However, I'm still getting Facebook message notifications via the notification centre.
    I am very confused as to why Facebook is simply not loading when every other site is working fine.
    Any ideas?

    I also have the same problem until now after upgrading to Mavericks. I cannot access Facebook on all browsers. Have done the following:
    - cleared cache, etc.
    - uninstalled and reinstalled all browsers (except Safari)
    - reset all browsers.
    Please help. Thanks!
