Using Front Row with remote control?

Hi,
Can anyone please advise if I can activate Front Row using the remote control in OSX Server?
Before I upgrade from OSX 10.4 to 10.5 Server, the remote control was working fine. I believe OSX Server may have disabled it? Is there anyway to enable it?
Many Thanks!

Hmm.. found it under Security setting...
Thanks !

  • Can I use Front Row with my Macbook closed?

    I just got a mini-dvi to video cable for my macbook. I love using front row with it but I was wondering if there was a way that you could use front row with the laptop closed. Oh and I'm using tiger, so its not the new version of front row.

    With your computer attached to a keyboard you should be able to wake it from sleep and run it properly with the lid closed.

  • Can I use Front Row with macMini (PowerPC)?

    Is Front Row compatible with macMini PowerPC version and Tiger? Or does it need Intel?

    Do you think that I can successfully emulate an Apple TV by setting up my MacMini (PowerPC) with a third party (someone suggested Keyspan) remote, Front Row application, and using Front Row to access iTunes music, TV shows, and videos (same as APple TV),and using Safari to access .mac web gallery (now available on Apple TV2)? The interface on the AppleTV is probably more elegant and seamless, but really, I could access the same content with the macMini, right? Also YouTube videos and Picasa photos can also be accessed via Safari. It will just look and feel more like a computer if I use Safari, vs a Media Centre! Do you think it's worth giving a try?

  • Volume control when using front row with an external audio interface

    Hi,
    I got my macbook last week, and so far, I love it. But I've got a small gripe with FrontRow - in my room at college, I have my macbook plugged into an oldish Tascam US-122, which I use a lot for recording. The Tascam is connected to my expensive active speakers, and ideally, I'd like to be able to play back via FrontRow to the Tascam, to the speakers, while retaining remote control. This isn't a problem for selecting Photos/Videos/Music etc, but the problem arises when I want to change the volume - the remote simply controls the volume of the macbook's internal speakers, not affecting the output of the Tascam.
    I know I could just connect the speakers via the headphone output, but that would mean more cables, and more chopping and changing system preferences to suit whether I'm making music or just listening.
    *So - is there any way at all that I can make the macbook's global volume control (using the volume hotkeys and remote) affect the signal its sending (via USB) to the Tascam?* I know its not impossible, because until recently I used it with a PC running XP, and that allowed me to use the volume control app to boost or cut the Tascam's volume. Perhaps its an issue with the Tascam's OSX driver?
    The Tascam has its own physical volume knob, so its not like I'm stuck listening at deafening or very quiet volumes, and I know this sounds like an issue with my laziness rather than FrontRow or the macbook, but surely it defeats the point of FrontRow if I have to walk across the room every time I want to turn the tunes up or down?!
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Thom Bishop

    hmm, yeah, thats kinda what i suspected - i reckon this is to do with the way the frontrow interface is set up, but theres no way (as far as i can see) to make everything pass through the main system stereo channel BEFORE going to an external audio interface... which is COMPLETELY bizarre, since system sounds/alerts get passed to the audio interface fine.
    and no, i very much doubt whether ANY external audio interface would respond to apple remote (gap in the market, perhaps?).
    this would be a fairly simple problem to solve, if only apple were aware of it... of course, i COULD try getting to grips with audio units and seeing if i couldnt fix it myself, but ive frankly not got the time to learn how that works! how can i make apple aware of this issue?? are they already aware??

  • Use front row to control airtunes volume

    is there any way to use front row (and remote) to control volume on external airtunes speakers instead of system volume? i understand how to select them, just want to know how to do volumes. thanks.

    You're talking about using the volume slider within iTunes? Or using the remote to actually control the speakers?
    If the former, than try the App called iRedLite. It lets you remap the remote's inputs to different functions.
    If you're familiar with AppleScript you can make the up and down buttons control the volume slider.
    Open Script Editor, then open the iTunes Dictionary. Find the "volume up" and "volume down" and use those in iRedLite.
    This should work, hope I helped.

  • Front row with a mac pro . . .

    hi im just trying to figure out how i cn use front row with my macpro? has anyone figured out a way , or know how to do it? i would prefer if i didnt have to buy a remote but i will if i have to. thanks heaps

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Right now, Apple only supports Front Row on Macs that have a built-in infrared receiver and shipped with an Apple remote. However, when Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) is released, it will include Front Row for all Macs that are compatible with Leopard (like your Mac Pro). You can use the keyboard to run Front Row (Apple-esc opens it, for example), so you'll have an option if you upgrade when it's released.
    If you want to use similar software now, you can install .

  • I prefer Windows Media Center (but I would like to use Front Row)

    This is a plea to Apple that they would update Front Row with some more functionalities!
    I'm using my Mac mini as a HTPC and it's doing it's job absolutely great - thanks to Windows Media Center.... Awwww, I wish I didn't have to write that
    Well, it's all about functionality and at that point, I have the conviction that WMC is really kicking FR's a**. I really don't get why Apple has chosen to put a media center software (don't know if I dare to call it that) in their OS which lacks of so many important functions.
    One of the important things for me, in a media center software, is support for TV tuners, and guess what... Windows Media Center has this, but there's no support in Front Row.
    I would also like to see more integration with iTunes, so that I can use the Remote app on my iPhone to control the music in FR and so it's possible to use the party function (also with the Remote app, cause that works really great).
    This is only some of the functionalities I miss in Front Row, but I do hope that Apple will consider those so I can get rid of Windows from my machine.
    //Cheers

    Best way to convey your wishes to Apple is to send them feedback.

  • Using Front Row on a second display

    TVRow version 2 is now available:
    http://sites.google.com/site/robijnx/products/tvrow201
    This allows the user to select which display Front Row uses. It is useful for home entertainment (eg using a projector or plasma TV).
    This topic is covered in an archived discussion:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1374039&tstart=0
    and some more background at:
    http://users.tpg.com.au/aoaug/mac_video.html#frontrow
    (eg external displays on an iMac G5)
    It would be useful if this option was available directly in Front Row settings.

    Having used TV Roow 2 for a few weeks, I do find it as nuisance that I cannot swap displays with Front Row running. Sometimes I want to run Front Row on the iMac and other times on the projector. I need to select TV Row from the Dock and change the display option to achieve this. In some respects Version 1 was better because starting TV Row automatically sent Front Row to the projector, whereas starting Front Row with teh Apple Remote left it on the iMac.
    Still waiting for Front Row to include a menu to select the display to use...

  • Using Front Row w/ Macbook in closed lid position (w/ Cinema Display) ?

    Using Front Row w/ Macbook in closed lid position (w/ Cinema Display) -
    Is it possible if I buy a remote, to use Front Row on a Macbook that is in the closed position?
    I use a Macbook linked to an external cinema display (a brushed alum, slightly older 23" model - doesn't have built in iSight) - wondering if I can get some of the same functionality via remote and Front Row.
    Do Macbooks even support the remotes? I would assume since they have a built in webcam/iSight they can accept infrared, or no?
    Thanks!

    I am using the IR remote with my MacBook Pro. That remote operates my LED Display when I do it thus:
    Shut down Mac, connect display, and restart.
    Close lid. Mac goes to sleep and display goes black.
    Point IR remote at Mac (not too far away or too oblique an angle - see instructions for Remote) and click "Menu" button.
    Mac wakes up, launches Front Row, and displays it on my 24 inch.

  • Using Front Row On Duel Screen

    Hi guys,
    I've got a macbook at the moment and was wondering, if i were to hook it up to another screen and run it duel screen is it possible to use front row in the second screen as appose to just the main laptop screen? And then also use the remote and everything to control front row, but at the same time be using my macbook normally for other tasks? So basically....i use my macbook normally, but at the same time, someone else can be using the remote to control Front Row thats showing on a different screen. Thanks in advance,
    Luke

    I assume when you are not using FrontRow, you can see your Mac desktop on both your laptop and the TV, correct? (Just making sure the connection is working.)
    If so, in the Displays preference pane, there should be an Arrangement tab. This is where you tell your Mac how your have your displays arranged. There should be a check box that says Mirror Displays (or something like that). That tells the computer to show the same image on both displays.
    Front Row can only be on one display. I assume it will always be on whichever display the computer has designated as the "primary" display. And it will blank any other displays while Front Row is active. If that is what is happening in your case, mirroring the displays should put Front Row on both.
    BTW: The Mac's Help system can be, well, helpful here. From the Finder's Help Menu select Mac Help. Do a search for "mirror video" and you'll get instructions on how to do it.

  • Narcoleptic MPB when using Front Row

    I have this odd issue when view photos in Front row with a secondary display attached. If I simply view an album, after about 8 or so photos, my machine goes to sleep. Clicking the remote wakes it to resume from the same place and the next photo will play, for about 10 seconds, and then back to sleep.
    My computer is set to sleep only after 30 mins, not after a few mins.
    Super weird bug. Oh, this is running a 2.53 MBP attached to a 23 inch Apple Cinema Display, using the 9400m.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    I had the same problem but it seemed to stop after I installed a program called Caffeine that prevents your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting screen savers. I haven't had a freeze-up as long as I have it enabled.

  • How to prevent others use their iDevices to remote control apple tv?

    Hi All,
    I'm wondering that does anyone know how to prevent others use their iDevices to remote control my apple tv?
    settings
    1. the apple tv is in the school.
    2. all students could access the Internet
    3. The apple tv is sharing the same Internet with students.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The remote app uses homesharing, therefore anyone wanting to control an Apple TV with the remote app would need to know the home sharing ID and password.

  • Problems with remote control and user accounts - error 1759?

    We're running:
    -XP Pro SP2 clients with Zen SP1 IR3a agent, 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
    -We are NOT running Middle Tier.
    -Novell servers are running Netware 6.5 SP7, E-directory 8.7.3.10b or 8.8.
    -Zen server is also SP1 IR3a.
    We have no problem using remote control on workstation objects. We are having intermittent issues with remote controlling user objects. When the issue occurs, we receive the following error, "Error 1759: The selected user is not logged in on any workstations" even though the user is in fact logged in. After some more research, it appears that the "networkAddress" attribute of the user object is blank so we feel that this is the root cause. My question is what would cause the networkAddress attribute to randomly not update? For instance we had a user (verified his login) who we could not remote via the user object (workstation object worked). We checked his networkAddress attribute and found that it was empty. User rebooted and logged in again and his networkAddress attribute populated, and then we could remote control him via the user object. Now this isn't always the case after a reboot. There doesn't appear to be any pattern to when the networkAddress attribute does or does not update. In fact, this particular user has a laptop so he boots it up fresh every morning yet he was not showing a network address when he logged in initially today.
    We've followed the troubleshooting steps in Novell Documentation without any success. Is there anything else that we might be missing, especially with respect to getting the networkAddress attribute to update? We ran a DSreport on that attribute and found about 500 out of a total of 1500 users had no networkAddress. Some of those are sure to be legitimate but that number is much too high for the number of people that should be in the office.
    I've read some older threads on the subject but none of them really provide a firm solution. Also most of the older threads reference Middle Tier which we are not using.
    Thanks in advance.

    > 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
    You could try this TID:
    "A user will no longer have an entry in their "Network Address" attribute
    even though they are logged into the eDirectory Tree."
    http://www.novell.com/support/viewCo...1262&sliceId=1
    "Resolution"
    "This was fixed in the 4.91 SP3 client. NWFS.SYS was modified so that it
    will check the monitor connection on a reconnect and if it is not connected
    close the connection and try and get a new monitor connection to the tree.
    Prior to the 4.91 SP3 client, the solution is to have the user login again
    so that it issues the NDS Finish Login request again that will populate
    Network Address again."

  • Shuffle music videos using front row

    Hello, I just can´t figure it out, can I shuffle music videos using front row?
    MAc mini   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I don't think anyone's figured out how to do that. Music and music playlists from iTunes are played through iTunes. However, even if your video is inside iTunes the video is played through Front Row using the QuickTime Player application, not iTunes. Since the QuickTime Player application is not reading playlists from iTunes and has no "shuffle" option of its own, I don't think it can be done. If you do make a playlist in iTunes that has videos on it, all you get is the audio and a black screen when they're played with iTunes.
    I would suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback and let them know you'd like to see an option like this.
