Serious problem with Front Row and the film trailers...

This problem's started only today.
I've tried to watch some trailers from front row but the iMac just crashes and the visual freezes there.
I don't know what to do, has this happened to any one else?

hey, i've had exactly the same problem, but cannot find a cure for it. my mac doesnt have isight or remote but i have frontrow through a hack.

  • Having problems with front row (and the opticle drive)

    I bought my macbook three days ago, and I'm already having problems. First off, I transfered music from my user profile on my old iMac G5 to the macbook via data DVD. My music collection had some purchaces from the itunes store, so I had to go through the authorization thing, and I can now play them just fine in the iTunes library, but the problem is, if I try to use the front row program to play my purchaced music, I get the message saying that I have to authorize it first. What the ****? Does anybody else have this problem? Also, like many other macbook users, I'm having problems with the opticle drive, such as getting cds to be recognized and other things of that nature.

    I noticed that this problem started after I tried to use a software to unlock my drive's region...
    I believe this is the problem. The VLC Media Player will usually play DVDs from other regions without changing the settings on your optical drive. You may need to reset your optical drive's firmware back to the original setting, make sure you have the region set for the one you'd prefer to use the most and then use VLC to play the other DVDs.

    P.S. After two years in the Front Row forum, I'm not sure I've ever heard of anyone playing HDDVD_TS folders with Front Row. I'm not saying it won't work, but I'm not sure it's really supported either. I do have DVD Studio Pro myself, but I'll have friends or family staying with me for nearly the next month, so my evenings and weekends will be a bit full to try making one up for testing...

    Hi i have i problem with my iphone and the problem is the security question i have forgot the answers
    I understand German and Italian i littlebit English

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Serious problem with xorg - keyboard and mouse locks all the time.

    In the last week I've notices serious problems with xorg.
    After some event, I am not sure which one, keyboard stops responding.
    Mouse cursor works, but I can't click on anything.
    I can't switch to text console.
    But I can kill xorg with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.
    Have you noticed something similiar?
    I use xfce4, [testing] repository.

    I had that a few days ago, couldn't reproduce it. I was also running xfce4. I havn't had it today and im running xfdesktop+xfce-mcs-manager+pekwm+xfce4-panel... so it may have been xfwm4.

  • Problem with front row, please help!

    I got a year old MBP 15" which I updated to leopard, and it works generally fine, except for the fact that when using front row and leaving it playing music for about 5 minutes idle, it freezes, goes to blank screen, but still plays the playlist it was set on, but when I use the remote control, or press keys, it keeps frozen, the only way to quit is to force power off.
    Please help me, as I really like Front Row and my MBP is my hub for playing music in reunions.
    Thanks in advance

    I have (hopefully) found a solution to my part of this problem. I was getting the ClassCastExceptions on any page with a <jbo:row> tag after doing a failed DML action. I have tested this with the delete event. (btw, I am using jdev9.0.3.3 w/ BC4J/JSP) Before what I was doing was this:
    <% try { %>
    <jbo:Row id="delrow" datasource="ds" rowkeyparam="jboRowKey" action="Delete" />
    <% } catch (JboException jboEx) { %>
    do something
    <% } catch (Exception ex) { %>
    uh-oh, this is bad
    <% } %>
    If I removed the try/catch block everything worked fine. Unfortunatlely, I need to try/catch block here. To work around the problem I changed the code to this:
    <% Row rowDelete = ds.getRowFromKey(params.getParameter("jboRowKey")); %>
    <% try { %>
    <%
    rowDelete.remove();
    %>
    <% } catch (JboException jboEx) { %>
    do something
    <% } catch (Exception ex) { %>
    uh-oh, this is bad
    <% } %>
    The second bit of code does the same thing (but it doesn't use a bean like I think <jbo:Row> does) and it doesn't cause the ClassCastError on subsequent errors.
    I really hope this helps someone else because it took me forever to get a workaround!

  • New iMac install problem with Front Row

    Hi I just got my imac yesterday, the desktop intel core duo with mac os x tiger. It comes with front row but when I clicked on it to open, it said I needed to install, so I followed the instructions to the letter, and when it starts to install front row, it says: "there were errors installing the software. Please try installing again." Which I did repeatedly, plus restarting. No go. Can anyone give me a tip on what I should try next? Thanks. you can email me [email protected]

    Normally to activate Front Row you press the Menu button on the Apple Remote that came with your Mac or you can use the keyboard shortcut of Command(Apple) + Escape.

    Please tell me if you have the same problem or how I can report this problem to apple.
    Thank you.

  • Problems with Front Row, listening to Music and view Photos

    My new imac is experiencing problems while in frontrow. If I am listening to music through itunes and then go to view photos at the same time the computer freezes for minutes on end before coming up with an error message about not being able to access the photos. When I finally manage to get out of front row, iphoto is opened up on my desktop. Is anyone else having problems like this?

    Yeah, I think, unfortunately thats the best solution to this. Disappointing though, this is the 2nd imac that I've had major issues with straight out of the box.

  • Two problems with Front Row

    Hello.
    I have all my music on my iMac and I am streaming it to my Mac Mini connected to my TV and stereo. What I have noticed is that the cover art on my music tracks don't show when I play any of the shared tracks or playlists, just the default picture with the two notes. Is there something I can do that will display it? I have tried to start iTunes and connect the shared library there before starting Front Row but that didn't help.
    I also have a problem with listing my pictures in Front Row. I have an external drive connected to my Mini that has all my pictures and movies. I have no trouble playing the movies (I created an alias in the Movies catalog to the Movies catalog on the external drive), but if I create an alias in the Pictures catalog to the Pictures catalog on the external drive the catalog isn't shown in Front Row. Do I have to import all the pictures into iPhoto? I don't use iPhoto at all because I always use the program that came with my Nikon camera that shows all the picture information, such as focal length, what lens I used, white balance setting, etc. (or Adobe Photoshop Elements it I want to make some changes). Is there something I can do to fix this too?
    Thanks,

    Bernd, since your comp is still under warranty you may wish to give the online tech support a try -->HERE<--</a>. Click on the "Chat with a support agent" link.
    If you don't want to go that route, then I suggest that you call them over the phone. Hopefully, you have the AppleCare Protection Plan if your 90 day warranty ran out.
    Good Luck.

  • Problem with outer joins and the class indicator/discriminator

    Hello,
    I am having a problem defining a query in toplink (10.1.3.3).
    In the workbench, I have created a parent and 2 child descriptors. The parent is "AbstractValue", the children are "DefaultValue", classified by the discriminator 'DEF', and "OverrideValue", classified by 'OVR', both located in the same table.
    Another descriptor (containing a one-on-one mapping to both a "DefaultValue", and a "OverrideValue") needs to be queried for its 'value'.
    The way the query should act is: If an override value (row) exists, this one applies for that object. If an override doesn't exist, return the default value.
    The query then comes down to (as I have it now):
    builder.getAllowingNull("OverrideValue").getAllowingNull("value").ifNull(builder.get("DefaultValue").get("value")).equal(builder.getParameter(VALUE_PARAM));
    The problem is that toplink adds the distinction for the different kind of "values" in the where clause WITHOUT checking for null values e.g. it performs an outer join, but then still checks for the discriminator value thus
    ....t1.ovr_id = t2.id(+) AND t2.discriminator = 'OVR' AND ...
    instead of
    ... LEFT JOIN values t2 ON (t1.ovr_id = t2.id AND t2.discriminator = 'OVR') ...
    This leads to the behaviour that the query returns ONLY the objects that have override and default values.
    An overview of the queries (simplified)
    Toplink, at the moment, returns only results if both override and default values exists:
    SELECT t1.id
    t1.def_id,
    t1.ovr_id
    FROM values t2,
    parameter t1,
    values t0
    WHERE nvl(t2.value, t0.value) = 15 AND
    t1.ovr_id = t2.id(+) AND t2.discriminator = 'OVR' AND
    t1.def_id = t0.id AND t0.discriminator = 'DEF'
    Situation Wanted:
    SELECT t1.id
    t1.def_id,
    t1.ovr_id
    FROM parameter t1
    LEFT JOIN values t2 ON (t1.ovr_id = t2.id AND t2.discriminator = 'OVR')
    JOIN values t0 ON (t1.def_id = t0.id AND t0.discriminator = 'DEF')
    WHERE nvl(t2.value, t0.value) = 15
    Anyone know if there is some statement I am missing to allow an actual outer join on descriptors containing class indicators/discriminators? A possible rewrite?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rudy

    This is a bug in TopLink's outer join support for Oracle. Currently the outer join is put in the where clause, instead of the from clause, as we do on other platforms. You might be able to fix it by changing your OraclePlatform to return false for shouldPrintOuterJoinInWhereClause().
    Please log this bug on EclipseLink, or through Oracle technial support.
    There is a workaround using,
    descriptor.getInhertiancePolicy().setAlwaysUseOuterJoinForClassType(true);

  • Having serious problems with Google Adsense and iWeb

    Ok, I'm totally ignorant when it comes to web work. I can direct friggin' movies but this web stuff, forget it.
    However, I am playing around with a video podcast and would like to try and do the website myself. But I can't seem to have any luck setting up Google's adsense on the site. I've followed the steps in the following link...
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=399399&tstart=0
    ...and the results are not good.
    One thing, since I'm no longer using my .mac account to host (can't use ads on there?) I am hosting the site through powweb. I don't know if that has anything to do with why it's acting like this.
    My web address is offthestriplv.com. If anyone could check out the site and shed a little light on why it's so messed up, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks for your time everybody.

    There are several problems. The code is showing, and also the positioning is off.
    To exactly position where you want the ad to go, you need to position the text box of the exact same dimensions as the completed ad (or slightly larger to be on the safe side) exactly where you want it on the page.
    Then type some text in the box. When you've published, you need to replace the text you've typed with the code. You obviously managed it once with the centre strip of google ads, but the top and bottom ones, it seems you've just pasted the code into the iWeb page. You can't just paste code into an iWeb page, only after publishing.
    Another reason for the code showing is that you've not replaced the text properly and missed out some tags, so when the browser comes to render the page, it's treating it like text.
    Hope that helps
