What about the remote?

If Front Row is no longer available with Lion then why is the Apple Store still selling the $19 remote as an accessory for the new iMac wihch I assume comes loaded with 10.7? ...  and I quote ----->
Apple Remote
Control your Mac from afar with the sleek aluminum Apple Remote. Play, pause, adjust volume, move forward and back, and access menus while playing music and video.

You can still use the Apple remote for other things...
Boxee which is available for Mac: http://www.boxee.tv/signup http://www.boxee.tv/make
It still controls iTunes and sleeps the computer. And it is possible to (workaround) install Front Row in Lion

  • What about the apple remote on iMac 2012?

    Hi, I'll buy a new iMac 2012 but what about the apple remote? A new one will be released? Or bye bye the remote?

    Yep there are some other posts already here about that and many others in the now deleted pre release board.

  • What is the Remote Desktop?

    This morning, I found three files: adoption.plist, tud.plist and utdcheckinDone from HD--Library--Application Support-- Apple Store again.  It came at 5:10am this morning.  I don't know where it got into my Mac.  Also, I found Remote Desktop from HD--Library--Application Support--Apple.  I didn't use Remote, but it was there.  What is the Remote Desktop?

    Thanks for telling that.  I was online awhite, then I turned around for sometime, when came back, window had slept and needed to sign in, but I couldn't.  Was that Apple's software for managing networded Mac systems lock me out?  Please reply me, I will appreciate that.  Why did it do that to me?  Why?  Do I need to go Apple to ask why?
    Thank you so much for this information. 
    I am worried about my Mac.  Do you know what is adoption.plist, utd.plist and utdcheckinDone?  If you can and know, please let me know what it is.  Thank you.  Appreciate that.  Good night

    I am having the same problem. Note what the API spec says
    about mappedName at http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/api/
    If I take the default, which should be supported, and which seems to deploy normally, then there seems to be something missing from the JNDI tree (e.g. having the class: $Proxy126).
    Can't the deployment generate a default object for the lookup?

  • Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

    Which Bag do you use for your Camera? What about the GadgetBag 300EG?

    I agree - it's all about preference.  I use the ThinkTank Retrospective 7.  I *love* ThinkTank's attention to detail...  everything from having a rain cover included with the bag, to having ingenius use of velcro (sp?) patches to enable you to "silence" the bag so it doesn't make the big "SCRATCH" sound when opening the bag during a quiet event, etc.
    My best advice would be to do your research (which you're clearly doing) and have a clear understanding of the return policy wherever you buy it, and then don't be afraid to return it if you get it and feel it doesn't meet your needs.  A restocking fee is a small price to pay to not be stuck with a bag that doesn't work for you.  And if for any reason you get it and can't return it, there's always eBay.

  • I want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd?

    i want to produce wedding dvds.whats the best software to use...final cut x I'm thinking but what about the quality of the dvd? Can i use idvd?

    The only Programms I worked with are DVD Studio Pro and iDVD. You can burn a Video-DVD with Toast but  there is no real option to design your Menu. Just a few themes as far as I discovered.
    Do you have a Blue Ray Device to burn* the HD-DVD? Are the Bride and Groom able to watch the Blue Ray?
    * which is only possible with DVD Studio Pro and not iMovie as far as I know.
    This might help
    For better quality I would go the Compressor & DVD Studio Pro workflow I just learned.
    Export the Movie as is from Final Cut Pro and then use Compressor to encode the File.
    Consider delivering the Movie in a different way like a private video on vimeo, a Website or on an SD card which is not really romantic...

  • HT1657 Can I watch my rented movie for just 24 hours? What about the 30 days? The countdown on my library returned in days countdown rather than hours. Can anyone clarify me about this?

    Can I watch my rented movie for just 24 hours? What about the 30 days? The countdown on my library returned in days countdown rather than hours. Can anyone clarify me about this?

    Read the article you linked
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library."

  • HT1338 what about the problems with the trojan virus is that a problem for my mac as well?

    What about the problems with the Trojan virus will this be a problem also for me using Mac

    What Trojan?
    If you're referring to the DNS Changer Trojan, it's highly unlikely you're affected. The actual distribution of the trojan was stopped several years ago and the perpertrators jailed.
    The FBI has been maintaining the servers used by the trojan for the last 5 years in order to give affected systems time to be purged. They will finally shut them down on Monday.
    Ensure that your router and the Mac's network settings are set for the DNS addresses of your ISP, or if you're not sure what they should be, change them to Open DNS using the IP addresses;

  • BBM Across Platform, what about the older devices?

    Yes, as we all heard is that bbm is coming to android and Iphone. We all know that BB10 does not us BIS and the older devicec need BIS to operate to the full, why can blackberry not open this to all so that i can bbm without BIS on my older device? yesBIS is nice but what about the people that want to use their older phones like the BB10.
    Only some features work without BIS, like the excample whatsapp, browser but all the good stuff like Blackberry world are blocked as well as Blackberry Protect, Facebook and so i can go on ....
    Let the people that want BIS get it like that and the other that want it without BIS get it like that then Blackberre will be more flexible.
    Cant they see they will now loose more customers to the other platforms where they can keep the people on the older native devices ....Please Blackberry UNBLOCK US ....

    Yes, 1.19GB of "other" is normal.  Normal is a little over 1GB.

  • I have to reinstall WIN 7 Pro on my PC, what about the CC app's? Can I reinstall them later again?

    I have to reinstall WIN 7 Pro on my PC, what about the CC app's? Can I reinstall them later again?

    The CC has been activated twice on 26th April &28th April 2014. You need to deactivate it first from any of the CC installed .
    (Activation & Deactivation Help)
    The other option is to deactivate it while installing for the third time. this will deactivate CC from both the earlier installed machines(I understand, it is being reinstalled on one of machine which had CC).
    To reactivate it on the one of the previous machine, you need to launch any product, there shall be a prompt
    , in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
    It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.

  • Mifi 4510L Mifi Hotspot...is it the network? and what about the firmware update?

    I have spent several months trying to seek a solution on the repeated and frequent disconnects from the Verizon wireless network using my Mifi 4510 L.  No success.  I have conversed with Verizon Wireless "experts" on this matter and have basically been ignored, since they do not have a solution. It has cost me a pretty penny in wireless costs due to lost connections in downloads, etc...for which I do not get any credit from Verizon on my wireless bill...go figure.
    I have even been accused by Verizon that the problem is my computer and hardware, even though I have ran several hardware, software, and "real-life" connection checks on other wireless networks with no issues at all.  I even have been getting better connectivity when I use my Verizon USB UML290...but I hate having to switch moving my SIM card from the USB Modem to the MIfi4510L...one of these days the SIM card will fail. Verizon has checked the signal strength at my home and work locations (which I already knew as good), but never heard back from them.
    Anyway,  I have verified that my wireless network adapter works just fine on other wireless networks (no dropouts, etc).  I have even upgraded to another Windows Operating System - Windows 7...which is more superior than Vista in dealing with wireless communications.  I have implemented quite a number of the solutions provided by other great Verizon Wireless Community members, but the connectivity problems continue to occur.
    When I did a review of my wireless hardware logs, I noticed that when I was encountering problems, the dynamically assigned address given to me on the Verizon Wireless network changed quite a bit, even when I was using the same web site. When my wireless connection worked fine, the dynamically assigned address was consistent.  This seemed to change when I encounter peak network load times. 
    I would appreciate a straight answer from Verizon Wireless on what is going on with the network.  I live in a solid 3G coverage area...but just far away from 4G to benefit for the increased throughput.  The closest 4G location footprint is about 40 miles away from me.
    Finally, what about the Mifi 4510 L firmware update?  I have yet to see any notification about this firmware update, either through normal e-mail channels or even through my Mifi configuration site
    http://192.168.1.1/mifi.cgi
    What gives?
    I realize that I am sounding a little perturbed about this matter, but it has been almost 4 months now...and Verizon is not living up to their part of the bargain on providing good tech support on the Mifi 4510L.  When they do not have an answer...they ignore the customer.   Not good business!!!

    The firmware update was released a few weeks ago and there were multiple threads in this forum for it:
    Software Update: Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi™ 4510L
    The firmware update primarily addresses a problem with the MiFi switching from 3G to 4G and back.  I would not expect it to resolve a connection issue for anyone in a 3G only area.  Work through the firmware update instructions included in the link above and see if it helps. 
    There were no email notifications but the MiFi should have been redirecting you to the MiFi homepage every time you tried to browse the internet.  The firmware update is mandatory so if you have not already completed the update then there might be something wrong with your device. 

  • Hi, i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. what about the update for Flash Player?

    Hi,
    i'm a new member of this community. I've recently learn about flashback malware and other threats to Mac devices. I've installed the new Mac OS X update for Lion 10.7, and the flashback removal tool. What about the update for Flash Player? Should i install it? Otherwise, should i permanently remove this app?
    I realy need some advice.
    Thank's to all.

    Be sure to install the latest version of Safari (version 5.1.7) which is available via Software Update (in the Apple menu) if you have not already installed it. This update will automatically disable older versions of Flash when new versions are available, and will instruct you on how to install the latest version on your system. This should help keep your system safe from any vulnerabilities in Flash.
    Note that this is only useful if you use Safari, though other browsers have their own update mechanisms you should research and enable or configure to your liking.

  • What about the rural areas ???

    As we all know BT's Fibre rollout plans keep getting put back and back. The rural areas are suffering and of course Bt announce BT sport free for fibre users (Yes I'm aware that any non fibre users can use the app to watch sport if with broadband) also to top this off they have announced 18 new channels for fibre users only at a cheap cost. My question is what about the little guys ? My exchange has no plans yet for fibre although 2 miles north or south they have fibre. Why should we be penalised for not having it ? I've had Youview for nearly a year now and to be comepletly honest it seems orientated to fibre users only. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me ?

    "don't moan about it taking a bit longer to get to you" It's not just a bit though Colin its 5 years if not longer could be 10 years. I took Youview on being told by many different Bt staff i could get the same services as everyone else. Surely when the youview service was sold to me they could have explained there and then certain services were for fibre only. It just annoys me to find i can't get these services and even more so things are finally hitting the platform.. Colin really your answer is to move ? bit drastic don't you think ?.
