IMac (Original shipped with Tiger) and Front Row

Quick question
If i have an iMac, the first one that was shipped with Tiger back in June 2005 and i purchase the Apple Remote, will it be compatible with my computer and will it come with Front Row, or is it exclusively only for iMac's shipping with the Remote and iPods with a Universal Dock?

Is your profile correct? Is there a reason you're still running Mac OS X 10.4.6? I think you'll need to make sure your iLife applications and iTunes are up-to-date as well as Mac OS X for everything to work correctly together. Mac OS X can be updated to 10.4.11, iTunes can be updated to 7.6.1 and QuickTime can be updated to 7.4.5 all for free. Which version of iLife do you have? '06 or '08? You'll need to make sure you have the most recent versions of iPhoto as well...

Big Mini Trouble with DVD and Front Row

Set-Up
I am trying to use my mac mini as a media centre connected to a 42" sharp aquos 1080HD, for sound i use a 5.1 bose speaker set-up, which is irrelevant to my problem, but the mac interfaces with a yamaha rxv661B 7.1 channel digital home theatre receiver, via DVI to HDMI and sound through head phone to RCA set-up that will soon be upgraded to optical. All connected to the appropriate DVD channels on the recevier, video goes to the TV via HDMI. My set-up has no DVD player other than the super drive on the mac mini, the only other input is a Bell ExpressVu 9200 PVR.
My Problem
1. Playing DVDs the brightness on the picture fluctuates in a very regular wave like pulse. What am I doing wrong?
2. Front Row Crashes the computer whenever I try to access any of the movie files. The files play fine when accessed directly or through itunes but crash the system in front row. DVDs play, and the online movie clips play, and music and picture content are no problem.
Any help would be much appreciated
As an aside does anyone know if youtube will be available to non Apple-TV front row users, as well?
Mini 1.83 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 12" Powerbook G4

Everything is plugged into a three pronged plug using a relatively sophisticated surge protecting power bar, but you may be on to something, the power bar has a light to indicate if it is properly grounded and that has not lit up since its been in use, perhaps the outlet isn't properly grounded, I live in a recently renovated 100yr old home.
As for the files they are a mixture of mpg, mov and a number of m4v (that might be my postal not a file format) I mean the ipod format, a lot of the video files I produce I put directly into the ipod ready format.

Anyone bought a imac in UK with Tiger and ordered Leopard disk for £5.95

Im looking at buying a iMac, I can get 10% discount from Comet and so am thinking of going there.
However there iMacs come with Tiger on, but I belive that if you buy an iMac after 27th Oct (ie now) then for £5.95 you can get Leopard sent to you from Apple?
1) Has anyone done this?
2) How long did the disk take to arrive?
3) Do you still get iLife 08 with Tiger bought formthe shop?
4) Did everything go smooth on the upgrade?

Ian,
Will is correct that neither Tiger or Leopard included iLife however Panther did include iMovie and iPhoto.
the loc-man,
Each new Mac will have an software bundle on one or more discs that will include both a copy of OS X and iLife etc. This is where the confusion comes in when the bundle is on a single disc.
Although I did order an iMac on 10 Oct and ordered a UTD copy of Leopard for £5.95 on 25 Oct I couldn't answer your question as I haven't used the disc preferring instead to use the separate Retail disc I had for the Powerbook. (So I do have two licenses but only used one disc )
cheers

You can go strait to SL, all you need is a retail SL DVD available from Apple for $20. The US online store has them at:

Is it possible to downgrade an iMac (model no. a1311) that originally shipped with Lion to Snow Leopard-?

If you find Snow Leopard is really required, you may find getting a used or refurbished Mac that shipped new before July 20, 2011 is preferable*:

ITunes and Front-Row no longer in Sync

Since I moved my whole iTunes library to an external drive, Front-Row is no longer showing if a TV Show is new or not. And it won't update the iTunes counter for that show. The video-podcasts are working correctly. When I download a new one, it shows as new (with a blue mark) on front-row. But not the new TV-Shows I downloaded. I'm using Tiger, Mini-Mac Intel and Front-Row 1.x
The iTunes library is still at my internal drive, I just moved the Music folder to the external drive, and setup iTunes to read from there. Front-Row does show everything correctly, but its not in sync with iTunes.
Thanks for any help.

QT choppy, iTunes and Front Row fine

I have a Core Duo iMac, 2 GB RAM, and QT Pro, with all software up to date.
Movie files play back beautifully at full screen under iTunes and Front Row. The same files show horribly choppy video when played back at full screen using QT Pro. Audio is fine regardless.
Video files in question include DVD slideshows intended for TV and authored on my Mac, home movies made with digital cameras, and handbrake .mp4s coded with a wide range of quality settings and resolutions, from very undemanding to demanding.
Why doesn't QT Pro work properly at full screen? That is, is there something wrong with my software or hardware, or is this just a QT Pro bug?
Thanks for shedding any light.

Chris, appreciate the reply, but I think you may have posted into the wrong topic...

Tiger's Front Row buggy in Snow Leopard

I never liked Leopard/Snow Leopard's Front Row. It felt very disconnected from the rest of the OS, namely in how it didn't interface with iTunes at all. So I installed Tiger's Front Row (version 1.3.1) in it's place. It does work, but it's buggier than I remember. Often it'll lag for a bit before doing something I told it to (such as enter a menu item/related), and other times it just stops responding altogether. I really don't want to go back to the new Front Row, but at the same time, I don't want to put up with these bugs. I'm fairly certain it's compatibility issues since it hasn't been supported since Tiger, but regardless, I want to know if there's anything I can do. Thanks in advance!

Did Mid 2010 MacBook originally ship with OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or OS X 10.7 Lion?

I recently bought a Mid 2010 MacBook from eBay that has Lion on it. I'm trying to do a reinstall of Mac OS in order to remove an account that came on it but the restore process says that I'm not the "owner" when I type in my Apple ID.
I don't have the original restore discs. I called Apple about this and they said that I could buy the retail version of Snow Leopard or buy Lion "again" in the app store but with my Apple ID.
I would think that if this computer originally shipped with Lion that I shouldn't have to buy it again, which suggests that maybe it really shipped with Snow Leopard. However, in user manual on support.apple.com for this model it talks about Lion.
I'm going to call Apple back about this but shouldn't they know based on my serial number which OS shipped with the computer?
Thanks!
David

Thanks. So as a followup, is the restore disc(s) for the MacBook essentially the same as the retail Snow Leopard disc, or should I request the actual disc that came with the computer?
I have no problems buying Lion again, but I'm really after the original restore disc in the event that I want to sell this computer and not leave the buyer in the same boat I'm in now.

Are the Photobooth and Front Row icons available anywhere

I was just wondering if the .png icons of Photobooth and Front Row where available anywhere. Wasn't sure if the new iMacs shiped yet. If they have, could someone go into the apps's package contents and host the .pngs using imageshack.com? Trying out some Photoshop effects for one of my classes.

Does anyone know?

AI have an iPad and iPhone but am stuck with Tiger and Leopard. Will I stir be able to get my email on my PowerBook if I after I upgrade to iCloud? I don't have the cash to upgrade the mac right now.

I have an iPad and iPhone but am stuck with Tiger and Leopard on my old powerbook G4. Will I still be able to get my email on my PowerBook after I upgrade to iCloud? I don't have the cash to upgrade the mac right now. Just wondering what my email options are. Thank You.

You will be able to get your mail on the PowerBook. The calendars (iCal) will not sync; any events added to iPad and/or iPhone will not sync with the Mac but will sync with each other (that is: the mobile devices which are on iCloud). My MacBook Pro (Lion) and iPad2 (iOS5) sync fine; I still get my Mail on iBook G4, MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) and iMac (Snow Leopard).

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.

Coverflow and Front Row display the WRONG artwork

I have tried all the answers I can find and also some more in depth ones as well....
(http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1284758)
I have made sure there is only ONE artwork in the 'get info' of the track (the correct one)
I have deleted the Album art folder (download and local) in the iTunes music folder
I have deleted cache and preferences where I could find them for both iTunes and Front Row
I have restarted!
YET the same **** WRONG artwork still shows in the COVERFLOW and when using FRONT ROW to access your music with the remote!
Can't find anything about this from Apple.... Surely this is an easy fix for Apple......?
The last changed artwork (by modify date) is the one that coverflow and Front row should use...???
iTunes displays the correct artwork, 'get info' shows there is only ONE artwork (the correct one)
I have deleted everything I can think off and yet Coverflow and Front Row still display the old, incorrect artwork! and get this... if I delete the artwork completely, so it is the default "no artwork" icon that itunes displays Frontrow and coverflow STILL display the old incorrect one!
Reading these forums I am amazed that something as basic and integral to the iTunes/iLife experience has been so blatently ignored and left to the users/forums to muddle through!
Come on Apple! get your act together! this is crazy...
I am NOT the only one with this problem!
ANYWAY.... any advice?

Me Also.
Right now I only notice it on one album.
Both the song playing and the artwork in the info box are correct, it's only coverflow that is wrong.

Need Tips to Customise Invoice with Logo and Adjust Rows and Values

Need Tips to Customise Invoice with Logo and Adjust Rows and Values

Hi rabisaha,
Your logo is an image. Details on adding and working with images in Numbers can be found in Chapter 9 of the Numbers '09 User Guide.
Rows are part of a Table. I'm not certain what you are referring to when you say "adjust rows," but the details regarding adding, removing and changing rows are in the "Working with Rows and Columns in Tables" section of Chapter 3, Using Tables in the Numbers '09 User Guide.
Adjusting values is done by entering new values, or by revising the formulas that create values. This is also conered in the User Guide in Chapter 4, Working with Table Cells.
The Numbers '09 User Guide is free, and may be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers. If you intend to create Numbers tables (or to modify formulas), you may also want the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide, available from th same location.
For anyone new to Numbers (and for old hands as well), I recommend reading at least the first four chapters of the Numbers guide. The rest can be kept to use as a reference as needed.
Regards,
Barry
