Still cannot get Front Row to work!!!!!!!!

I have tried holding Menu on the IR controller! I have tried holdin Apple + Esc! These do not work at all! Does any one have a solution?

Okay, calm down. Let us know a little bit more about your MacBook. Is it brand new? Have you had it for a little while? Did it ever work?
If typing Apple-esc does not invoke Front Row, then Front Row itself may be damaged or, if you reinstalled Mac OS X, it might not be installed. You might insert your Mac OS X install disk and double-click on the "Install Additional Applications Only" icon. You can customize this installer to install Front Row only. Does it work now?

How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

Hello fellow Mac users,
How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
Thanks!
Best,
Tony

I have installed Mountain Lion 10.8.2 but still cannot get email from my work exchange account. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

You can go to the Apple online store and purcahse a copy of Mountain Lion. This will give you a redemption code, which you can use to download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Unfortuantely, I'm not aware of any other way to legally purchase it. I have never seen Apple release Muontain Lion on DVD.
In terms of Apple Service, they just need the serial number of the machine to check the purcahse date. It is usually correct, to within a few weeks. A quick Google search should give you the correct number to dial.
I hope this helps.

I would delete the account and try to re-enter it. Also, you have to let your firm's IT department know that you want to sync work email on your personal devices before they actually work.

Front Row not working on new MacBook Pro

Hello all,
I cannot get Front Row to work on my new MacBook Pro. I've confirmed that my Apple Remote works using iChat's video preview to see the flashing IR transmitter. I've pressed Cmnd+esc also. I've even tried to double-click on the System >> Library >> CoreServices >> Front Row app to no avail. If someone could help me, I would appreciate it. Many thanks in advance.
2.2 GHz Core2 Duo MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10) 4 GB RAM

Front Row doesn't usually open if you double-click the application in the CoreServices folder, so that's not unusual. The one troubleshooting step I might try, before calling AppleCare Support since your computer is new, would be to use the Accounts System Preferences to create a new user. Log out and log in as the new user. Can the new user open Front Row with command-esc or the remote? If so, then your original user has a preference file problem. If not, then you may need to re-install Front Row and/or Mac OS X. If your Mac is less than 90 days old, I'd call AppleCare Support and get some help from them to do that (also so they're made aware that a new computer required that in case there's an issue at the factory).

My apple ID password works for all of my devices but one. i only have one account and have changed the password several times but still cannot get it to work on my iPhone. any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, Chris. I actually did not resolve the issue which is why i did not post an answer.
it turns out that my iphone seems to default to an incorrect User ID (it defaults to an @me account, which is not something that i have ever used).
even when i change the User ID in my settings for the iTunes store, it still appears when i attempt to get updates for my existing apps. however, it does seem to use the correct ID when i attempt to purchase new apps.
If someone actually had an answer to correct this, i would love to update my existing apps.
Thank you.

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. Any suggestions?

My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. However I can then take my DSL cord and insert it in a different Ethernet port other than the WAN port and I can get internet on my Mac and iphones but only wifi on my husband's PC. I hate to spend another $179 if this is just something I'm doing wrong. Please help

I'm having a bit of trouble confirming that the ZyXEL is a combination modem & wireless-N router. If it is, then you really won't get any advantages of using the 802.11g AirPort.
If the range of your ZyXEL is limited, you may find that doing either or both of the following will help: 1) Move the ZyXEL so that it is higher vs. lower in the room, that is away from any closed areas or placed in a metal cabinet, and 2) Changing radio channels. The latter is especially important in you live in an area where there are a number of competing Wi-Fi.
A good utility to find out, is iStumbler. You would use this to find these other Wi-Fi and find which have the strongest signal value. Those that do, you would also want to note which channel they are operating on, and then, change yours to one that is at least 3-5 channels away. So, for example, if you find strong ones on channels 1 & 6, change yours to 11.

Compare the options Mail gives you for server configuration with those available in Thunderbird. I use TBird myself (have used it for years, across several platforms, and am not about to change) and was really astonished at how very few options Mail has in terms of configuration settings. One of my colleagues cannot connect to his IMAP server, I realized it was because the server requires TLS rather than SSL, and Mail does not offer a TLS option. I told him to use Thunderbird instead. It isn't what you want to hear, I'm sure, but with Apple you either do everything the way Steve Jobs wants you to do it, or you don't do it at all. It's the main reason I stick with apps that work the same cross-platform as much as I can.

You cannot use OS9 to repair your 10.4.11 Disk. Did you delete Disk Utility? Are you sure it's not in Applications>Utilities?
Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

Get Front Row to play from HVDVD_TS folder

How can I get Front Row to play content from a HVDVD_TS folder. It works great with standard VIDEO_TS folders (under Leopard/Snow Leopard) but it doesn't seem to recognise my DVD Studio Pro generated HVDVD_TS folder.
Thx!

I have the same problem with remote control device (infrared) and FrontRow as many other users, see links below.
And yes, I have tried all the described "remedies", but the problem is still there.
The problem is that after boot, FrontRow reacts to the remote ok (about 10-15 minutes), but then
FrontRow stops responding to remote control commands. However, FrontRow can be controlled by keyboard
commands all the time. If iMac is now booted, the problem is still there. The only way I have had FrontRow
and remote work ok (for 10-15 mins) is shutting down iMac, waiting an hour or so, and then booting it. I'm just
wondering is this hardware problem (related to e.g. temperature ?), problem with FrontRow itself, or problem with
related daemons. Anyway, I hope that this is sw problem, and Apple could fix quite soon in next FrontRow or Mac OS X
update. Otherwise, I'm 100% sure to replace my iMac because of this stupid little bug (that seemed to be the only
working remedy).

Any way to get Front Row to show video playlists such as TV shows?

I can get AppleTV now to show the TV show playlists in iTunes as their own menu items. However, I can't seem to get Front Row in 10.6 to do the same thing.
I currently have iTunes 8.2.1 in 10.6.0. Is this something either upgrading to 10.6.1 or iTunes 9 will enable?

Front Row users have been waiting for this option since video playlists first appeared in iTunes quite some time ago. Unfortunately, I've never been able to make it work. Why Apple can't enable what seems like a simple options is beyond me. My iPod nano can do it but Front Row on my Mac can't. I'd advise you to send Apple some Mac OS X feedback since there's no specific form for Front Row itself:

I cannot get "home sharing" to work on my Apple TV device

I cannot get "home sharing" to work on Apple TV.I
I type in my apple id and password to no avail.
Why isn't the apple tv device taking this info and activating home share?

I am having the same problems with Home Sharing using the Apple TV. The problems seemed to appears to have started within the last week or so. Did updates and all. Went to the Apple TV and it couldn't see either Home Share on either computers that Home Share is turned ON. Reset the routers, reinstalled iTunes on the iMac and MacBookPro. Created a second Wi-Fi Access point using a Airport Express. Put the MacBookPro and TimeCapsule on the same network and still no love to see the Home Share contents.
We have had both Mac's and Apple TV for several years and have never had any problems like this.

Moved front row to trash and deleted in error. How do I get front row back on?

Front row was moved to trash and deleted trash in error. How do I get front row back?

Front Row is one of the awesome applications that require an OS reinstall to get back.
Or if you don't want to do that you can always use Pacifist. http://www.charlessoft.com/
It essentially lets you pull out specific information from your install disc so you don't have to reinstall everything, just what you need.
Can you still open it with Command+Esc though? You may not have fully removed it.
