The new Front Row should take a backseat.

The Front Row on Leopard looks better, except for the fade-in/out effect instead of the desktop-being-pushed-back effect.
But its functionality has gone down. You can no longer resume movies or even leave the music on when you quit front row...
Is there anyway to get that functionality back on the new Front Row?? Its Apple, we should have everything, the looks and the works!
Its also a no-go on the feedback to apple... They don't have an option for Front Row.
If Apple people are reading this... you know what to do in 10.5.2!

Front Row appears to be a new application. The Front Row version supplied with remote control equipped Intel Macs seemed to call upon iTunes (and thence Quicktime) to do its heavy lifting. Thus iTunes helper would keep music playing after Front Row quit. The other feature you didn't mention you lost was that Front Row would play music wirelessly via Air Tunes and an Airport Express when it used iTunes. It also fails to use an external monitor for DVDs.
The new Front Row can be legally used by owners of Mac gear that doesn't have a remote control. This is a great leap forward for those who don't as yet have an Intel Mac, or who have a Power Mac. Plus Front Row now plays DVDs without invoking iTunes. It even plays DVDs from your hard drive (complete with cover art, if you add a jpg to the TS_Video folder). This is a great advantage for people living in the majority of countries where iTune Store does not offer movies at all. It would not surprise me to see further upgrades of Front Row fairly soon. Personally, I love it.

Does the new Front row features the same Podcasts blue markers on TV show?

Does the new Front row features the same Podcasts blue markers on TV show? As I'm using Tiger right now with Front-Row V1 that only show the blue markers on the Podcasts.
Not only that, but it also doesn't update the TV Shows counters when using front-row.
Another thing I wonder, its about Apple TV 2 (or whatever the name is) I'm using my Mini-MAC to watch iTunes Podcasts, TV Shows, Movies and DVD movies on my living room. Should I just get an Apple TV instead? Or with Leopard I can make it work just like Apple TV but with less restrictions? Right now I'm using an external 400 gig HD.
Thanks for any advice.

I need sherlock and Front Row 1.3.1 Back! New Front Row is USELESS!

I need sherlock back, I used it all the time, now its missing!
, also the old Front Row 1.3.1 was AMAZING, the new one looks really bad and the fonts are too small to use from far away (as what it was intended for) I used it before now its just to hard to read from my bed and looks ugly too. I like the 4 animated Icons when you start front row, and also liked the animated preview of a movie instead of a frozen frame.
Apple downgraded a major part of what I use for $129
Please help me get the old front row and sherlock back from my tiger DVD's.

Well, you can install Tiger on an external drive and boot into it when you need to. I am NOT being sarcastic. I use Sherlock all the time and was disappointed to find him "retired" and back to bee keeping. Even MS still has Watson, don't they?
My G5 is dual boot - I planned it that way. One internal drive is Tiger, the other Leopard.
I will partition my external LaCie drives so that one partition will be a bootable Tiger clone, the rest of the partition for Leopard's TM.
The best of both worlds is to have both worlds, right? Then the decision becomes moot. Keep "Plan A" and "Plan B" and you can't lose.

New front row in leopard ...

I've upgrade my tiger into leopard, now i have a new front row, very nice, but in DVD playback I prefer the time line of tiger because every time i stop the film i can seen the time remaing to the end, and biggest font was better for looking the Film from my bed !

rentals and a new rental-focused gui seem to be the only update right? I am not seeing anything leading me to believe that the appletv experience is going to be expanded for those who rip their own movies and use it that way.
verdict is still out on the 5.1 pass thru as well. how well will it work for people who do their own encoding and how many of the "some" hd movies will include it?

Hi Renato
As with other Oracle software the GUI translation in other languages is based on a business case basis. Pl send me an email at [email protected] , detailing the customer case and I will take it up with all concerned folks.

How do I resize the window of pages in the new version? It takes up most of my desktop. I would like to make it tall and narrow, which was possible in the old pages, but I cannot seem to do it in the new version.

I agree it is a very bad and wasteful design especially for users on small laptop screens.
You can drag it to whatever shape you want from the bottom left corner.
Click on the paintbrush to make the Format side panel disappear. However you will need to use that side panel for most formatting.

Using the soft front panel to take a differential measurement.

I have a PXI- 5152 digitizer and need to use the soft front panel to take a differential measurement. I found how to do this by programmatically, but cannot figure out how to do this on the soft front panel. Can anyone help?

Hi Towleb1,
From you second sentence in your question I assume you already found this resource, but just in case I wanted to provide you with a white paper called Differential Measurements Using High-Speed Digitizers. This is a fantastic resource that includes flowcharts and instructions for hardware self-calibration, probe compensation, gain and offset calibration, and actually taking the differential measurement itself.
As far as taking a differential measurement with the NI SCOPE Soft Front Panel, are you talking about taking a single differential measurement or are you talking about taking a differential measurement between two channels on the PXI-5152?
You mentioned that you found how to do this programmatically, but is there a reason you specifically want to use the NI SCOPE Soft Front Panel instead of LabVIEW?

Since installing Lion, I've lost the app 'Front Row', how do I get this back?

Recently updated to Lion, now the app 'Front Row' has gone any suggestions how to get this back?

Front Row will not show up because it is not included in the Lion OS. If you need it you will need to go back to Snow Leopard.

New Front Row, iTunes and Quick Time updater

For user that not aware, there is a new updater for mac which is Front Row 1.3, iTunes 7.0.0 and QuickTime 7.1.3.
For my self, I think the iTunes 7.0.0 is excellent, I found it helpfull to categorize the video and TVshow that I have into a big art image with all the titles next to it instead of showing all as list or as icon in previous iTunes. Not to mention that we can buy a full length dvd movie ($9.99).
I wish the price is the same as songs or regular video ($2.99)...lol
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
Check the link above or use your software updater on your apple menu bar.
Good Luck and Enjoy.

The Updates
A. iTunes
I like the new iTunes a lot, but my major problem is that my music videos (from iTunes store and other sources) are in my music library! When I am typing or on the internet, iTunes is in mini player mode. All of a sudden a video window pops up and starts playing (what else) a video. I don't like that. The music and video mix transfers over to the iPod also. The main reason I don't like it (on the iPod) is because the audio for a video is different than the original song. An example of this is, Don't Speak -by: No doubt.
B. Front Row
I always liked Front Row and don't really notice any changes to it. It used to be a little slow on the exit, but after the update works like normal again. Therefore, I assume the update for Front Row was for the inner workings of the application. No complaints here.
C. Quick Time
I don't really use Quick Time. I do most of my video watching in iTunes of Front Row because I don't have to pay Apple to watch stuff full screen with those applications. Although, most of my videos are in Quick Time format because it takes anywhere from two (2) too thirty (30) seconds for Front Row to load Windows Media Video files from my external HD. (I guess that IS a complaint for Front Row, but don't tell him. ^_^)
D. iPod v. 1.2
Nice! 1) I can adjust the screen brightness (to conserve battery life). 2) Quick scroll thinggy (I lack the technical jargon to describe it). 3) Screen has a little brightness while it's connected to my computer. 'Nuf said.
E. Summary
I update anything Apple tells me to. But I am having some regrets about iTunes. Nothing that is going to make me uninstall iTunes and reinstall it from a CD (say... the CD that came with my iPod). I have sent a suggestion to Apple, so if you don't like the way things are, I suggest you do the same because posting here will do little to get it fixed. To do it, go to the menu bar while in iTunes and click:
iTunes>Provide iTunes feedback
It should be something similar in Windows, if any of you guys and gals are reading this. Everything else is fine.

'0' New Posts button should take you to end of thread not beginning

Currently if you click the New posts button for a thread when it's zero it takes you to the first post of the thread. I think it should take you to the last post of the thread. If you click the title it takes you to the first post, no reason to have two links that offer the same functionality.
Thanks

Actually there are options the user can set. For me, clicking the title takes me to the first NEW post. If there are zero new post listed for a thread, I don't waste my time clicking the thread at all. I believe most have their account set up the same.

New Front ROW opinions

Hi Peeps
The new version of Front Row is great and far less buggy than the Tiger version but am I the only person who misses the entrance animation with the spinning icons and the sound? I loved the way the desktop used to fade and dissolve into black and then fade back in. It looked really flash and made the PC bods uber jealous - the simple fade to black in the new version is just too subtle.
Opinions please...

sigh...
update
I've just checked again and it has reverted to what i spotted originally, slideshows with playlists of more than one track don't work, but those with a single track do. Although last night I had no sound even from single track shows (and I wasn't muted!) the mac has been to sleep but not restarted and iphoto happens to have been open throughout.
The cursor also has a tendency to disappear after exiting front row, it reappears after clicking in a finder window or the desktop but not in some apps.

I sure hope the next Front Row update includes the Apple TV 2 functionality

I bought a Mac mini the day Leopard was released, and now it is my media server. It was that or an Apple TV, and I liked having more control plus a DVD player in the box.
Front Row 2.0 is nice, but I've been trying to find add-ons, like Sapphire, to give it more features. Nothing yet will play YouTube or other internet video, which is one of the things I'd really like. So, after today's cool demo of ATV 2.0 software, I'm hoping that Steve & Co will keep Front Row on parity with ATV.

AppleTV includes HDMI and HDCP, which are not present in Apple computers. Although computers play HD movie trailers just fine, I suspect that studio demands for DRM would ensure that rental HD downloads (or HD-DVD or Blu-ray) would not appear on a computer. Unless the computer had HDMI and HDCP enforced.

I have a 16gb iPad which was nearly full so bought a 32gb to allow me to add more music. The old one had 1200 songs on but the new one will only take 777 from the same collection. Frustrating as ****!,, any ideas why please

We had a 16gb iPad that was close to full capacity so bought a 32 gb one to allow us to add more music. We had over 1200 songs on the old one. Just tried putting it allon the new one but it will only take 777 songs. Very frustrating!!!!! Any ideas why this is happening.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
