Using FrontRow with HDTV

Can Front Row be "windowed" in any way? I would like to use it as my media center but only have it come up on a secondary display - Plex works like this but I'm not impressed by it and I can't deal with Apple TV anymore. Thanks.

Using FrontRow with Bonjour on a NAS drive

Is it possible to have iTunes running on a Network Attached Storage drive connected to a router and have FrontRow on the New Mac Mini still find all the media? I'm just wondering this since I will have all my media on a NAS making it easier for all the computers on my house network access the media. I plan on using the Bonjour feature so I don't have to put all the media directly on the Mac but want to make sure it will find it even if it is not directly on another PC.

I would obviously have iTunes running on the Mac Mini I purchase but I would have the acutal songs stored on the NAS. If I do this I should be able to pull them up using FrontRow on the mac and just using normal iTunes on my PC correct?

Playing video through frontrow onto HDTV

I am wondering if I use frontrow to play a video, and I connect my computer to my HDTV with an HDMI cable, will it play show the same quality over the HDTV or can I expect some loss in quality? If there is loss, is there some better way to play videos over the tv?

TV screens, even HDTVs, don't always make the best computer displays. How big is your HDTV? Your MacBook's screen is 1280 x 800 in a 13" (diagonal) screen. This means you have approximately 100 pixels per inch. If your HDTV is running at full 1920 x 1080 (there are other resolutions for "HDTV") but it's 52" (diagonal) then you're only getting about 60 pixels per inch. The pixels themselves will be larger giving you a less crisp display.
Also, exactly what kinds of videos are you going to display? Purchased videos from iTunes? A DVD movie? An HD movie trailer from the QuickTime web site? A Blue-Ray movie? Higher resolution videos will give you a different experience. But the MacBook won't lower the quality of the original video you're playing to get it to display on an HDTV.
Personally, my iMac is connected to my HDTV and I use it as a DVR with my EyeTV Hybrid to get over-the-air HDTV. It's also used as my DVD player as it's also connected to my stereo for surround sound. I also download my purchased iTunes videos to that computer (the music is duplicated on both the MacBook and iMac, though). All three options look fantastic on my HDTV. I couldn't be happier with the quality. I don't do a whole lot of Front Row on the iMac since it only displays on the iMac's built-in screen unless you "mirror" the two displays and that doesn't always work correctly. But, with a MacBook, you could attach the computer to the HDTV, close the MacBook's screen and use the HDTV at full resolution as the only display. (You can wake the MacBook with the remote after closing it.) Your exact experience will depend on the TV and the types of videos you're playing.

MB Operation w/lid closed using FrontRow, BT keyboard & Mini-DVI to Video

Ok - after some tribulations here's how FrontRow works using a Bluetooth Keyboard and no mouse for your Living room TV enjoyment.
Ensure MagSafe attached to MB and plugged into wall electrical socket
1. Pair the Bluetooth keyboard to the MacBook
2. Close lid and wait for it to sleep
3. Connect Mini-DVI adapter to MB
4. Connect Mini-DVI to TV's video input and MB sound output to the TV's audio L/R sockets if you want TV sound, otherwise your sound will come from the MB speakers
5. Wait a few seconds and then press the Keyboard space bar (this is what I did but you may also be able to press any key)
6. After a few moments the MacBook will wakeup
7. Now use the remote and press Menu to launch FrontRow - it may take a few moments for things to happen on the TV screen - but hang in there as FrontRow will eventually show on the TV screen.
8. Now you can navigate FrontRow and play iTunes (and it shows playlist and tune info data - cool), DVD movie, Slide shows from iPhoto, etc.
Hey - it does work with a BT keyboard and there's no need to plug a mouse in either.
Remember that the MagSafe must stay connected otherwise you will lose your video feed to the TV.
You can also dispense with Bluetooth keyboard once you have things rolling. I did so, as I needed it for operating my PowerMac G5 which has only the Bluetooth keyboard feature for operating it - have no USB keyboard in the house.
This is all very very cool and my wife will love this setup.
Enjoy your FrontRow in the LR now.

A followup...
After playing some with FrontRow while MacBook connected to my TV I decide to revert back to normal operations and disconnected it from TV. Using the MacBook (Black with 1gig RAM) as normal I took a look at Top.app to see what resources had been used or were still in use. I found all the FrontRow Apps - iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie etc were still active and my RAM had been paged out furiously during the time it had been connected to the TV. Some 73,000 pageouts had occured and it had been zero before connecting to the TV.
This tells me that my 1gig was being over subscribed and that 2gig might serve me better and could explain why FrontRow stuttered a few time and appeared unresponsive.
I would say at this time that if you are going to be using FrontRow as I did then having as much RAM as you can afford in this little Black beauty will help things run more smoothly. I'm up for adding another 1gig to our MacBook.

Can I use airplay with lion

Is it possible to use airplay with lion? I would like to display the content of my Macbook on my HDTV via Apple TV. Thank you!

Sadly, only music and videos saved in itunes can be streamed to the appletv. Hopefully this will change soon!

How can I get my '010 Macbook Pro to use the entire HDTV screen?

I have both my late '09 MacMini and mid-'010 Macbook Pro connected to my HDTV with HDMI cables.
The Displays pane of System Preferences on the Macmini gives me the options of 1080p and 60 hZ, which use all of the HDTV screen.
However, on the Macbook Pro I only get resolution options.
The HDTV (Sharp Aquos 46") gives me only Stretch, SuperStretch, Dot-by-Dot, and Zoom options. I use Dot-by-Dot because
the others, while the use all of the HDTV's horizontal space, cut off either the top of the display (Title Bar), the bottom (Dock), or both.
Is there any way for the Macbook Pro to use all the HDTV's "real estate" like the MacMini does?

If your MBP can use it, I highly recommend the following adapter:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/H1824ZM/A/Moshi_Mini_DisplayPort_to_HDMI_Adapt er
I'd be very surprised if it doesn't have a capable mini DisplayPort, since my not-quite-one-year-old MBP does. But to be sure, first make sure you've got a mini DisplayPort, then scroll down on the page above and find a user comment titled "How you know if it is supported w/o guessing."

Tiger and using FrontRow On External Display

Looking for a way to use FrontRow so that it comes up on my TV. So far the only easy way I have come up with is to use Mirror mode, but that does not support the native display or settings of my TV like it does when spanning. I tried TVRow but that requires Leopard. Before I start mucking around with Terminal, I want to make sure that is not a Leopard only solution. I would prefer a TVRow-type solution, or a simple script. I do not want to move my entire desktop to the second screen either by moving the menu bar to the ext. display.
Is there a way to permanently edit FrontRow preferences? Sine I only use Front Row on my external monitor, that would be the easiest way to fix this. Whatever settings TVRow temporarily changes, a permanent change would work for me. I especially like the idea of HD trailers in Front Row ...

Yes, Woodwyn already mentioned that in the original post.
I should have been more clear in my post. I was suggesting that there might be a settings file for Front Row even in Tiger that could be modified directly, without using TV Row. It seemed to me that the most expedient way to get an answer about Tiger would be for Woodwyn to contact the TV Row author directly, who might have a little better idea than we do.
It might be impossible for Front Row itself to output on a non-primary monitor under Tiger, but that isn't a TV Row issue.

Can I share Mac screen desktop with HDTV by LAN

Is this possible to send the Mac desktop screen with HDTV wich has LAN conection (Sony Bravia). I do not mean video sharing but sending the whole output sent to Mac secreen to TV. Simplest cable VGA or DVI connection is not possible because of distance. Can Team Viewer do it?

Have you considered using send unix command to remotely log in all the computers that do not have user logged in?
You could set it up to be the default action for send unix. Making it easy for the instructor to quickly login all the empty computer so he can broadcast to the computers.

HT202667 Hi - My daughter was using her Apple TV until recently when she got a Smart TV. Now the Apple TV is not needed so she passed it on to me. How do I get it transferred over from her Home Sharing account to mine so that I can use it with my PC?

As Winston Churchill wrote, however you might want to do a factory reset on the Apple TV.
This way all information pertaining to your daughter will be removed from the device. Specifically if see was sign into any of the streaming service, Netflix, Hulu, etc. her credentials will still be associated with this Apple TV, doing a factory reset will remove all that and make it as if you purchased the device and just plugged it in.

OPEN CURSOR using a WITH clause in the select query

Hi,
I am using Oracle 9i. I have a requirement where I have a REFCURSOR as an OUT parameter for my procedure. I have declared the TYPE and created the procedure.
In the procedure, I am using OPEN <cursor_name> FOR <query>;
Ideally this works in most of the cases that I have tried earlier. However, in the current case I am using a WITH clause in my query to get the results.
I need help in understanding if the above mentioned syntax would not allow me to use the WITH clause in the query.

I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
Thanks,
Sean

The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.
