What happened to front row

Updated to the latest OS (10.7) and found nothing special.  Unlike Leopard Lion is turning to be a let down.  All flash but no substance.  Of course it's faster, I would be faster to if most of insides were removed. 

So why did you upgrade?
No Front Row was well flagged up ahead of the launch....as was the fact that support for many other programs has gone. I checked my system and if I were to upgrade to Lion then I'd have to shell out £££££££'s to buy a new set of Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite (ie Photoshop etc). I have a gut feel that my graphics tablet would no longer work either.  I see no 'must-buy' reasons for upgrading.

    Lion doesnt have it anymore.  When Mountain Lion comes out on July 25, it will have front row again!

    Front Row is no longer supported. However, there are several applications that can do the same job for you (quite nicely, actually) and that work with ML. Try searching the Mac App Store. Also: there are uncountable threads about this over at the Front Row forum.

  • I recently upgraded to OS 10.7, I would like to know what happened to Front Row?

    I recently upgraded to Lion & I realized Front Row isn't accesible anymore.  Why?  Is there an alternative?

    Front Row is indeed "gone." There are alternatives, but first look at these links:

  • What happens when the row selection of a table is set as 'none'?

    I have a page, with a Search box, Departments and Employees tables. The user will enter a departmentId and click on Search button. Departments will be displayed. The departmentId column in Departments table is surrounded with a link. So when the user will click on the link, the desired employees will be displayed in the Employees table, if there is a view link between the VOs.
    Now suppose I have removed the view link. And the row selection of the Departments table is set as 'none'. So is it possible to get the desired employees of the chosen departmentId in this scenario, as because row selection has been disabled in the Departments table?
    I also dont want to use the Set Property Listener in this use case.

    Hi,
    If you have disabled rowselection and also are not implementing the selection listener? How will you find which row did the user select?

  • Masking different file types in Front Row

    Hello,
    I am in the process of setting up my new iMac and and trying to get Front Row to work for with my photos (.JPG files) and videos (.AVI files). I tend to store all of the photos and videos that relate to a particular event in one folder (e.g. 12_2009 - Xmas would contain photos and videos from Xmas). I have imported all of these folders into iPhoto and that works fine. I have also created an alias to this folder and placed this in my Movies folder so that the videos show up in the Movies menu of Front Row. This is also working.
    The problem I have is I think related to the fact that the photos and videos are stored in the same folders. What happens in Front Row is this:
    - In the Photos menu it displays the photos OK but displays a blank screen for the videos (presuambly trying and failing to play the video?).
    - In the Movies menu it displays the videos OK but also displays the photos very briefly (presumably treating them as very short movies?!)
    I would like to set up Front Row to only show photos in the Photos menu and only show videos in the Movies menu.
    Is there a way to do this (e.g. to tell Front Row to only play .AVI files in the Movies menu and only list .JPG files in the Photos menu).
    thanks,
    Mike

    You can get around the problem with the pictures by making smart albums in iPhoto and telling to not include anything that has avi in the filename.
    Since Front Row doesn't currently like video files in playlists, the only real suggestion I can make for that is to drag copies of the videos (can just drag copy them right out of iPhoto into a Finder window) into the ~/Movies folder or a subfolder inside here. That will allow you to browse them alphabetically by selecting the Movies folder from within the Front Row interface.

    Front Row has been dropped from Lion. Other posters have reported success in copying the Front Row application from a Snow Leopard system and having it work, but there may be undiscovered issues.

  • Front row music stalls

    Hi, I'm very new to Macs, just got my first, and a strange thing happens in Front Row. When viewing a slideshow, the music plays for about 4 secs and then stalls, the show continues, but pausing and restarting resumes the music... for about 4 seconds.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I just came on the forum and looked for this exact thing!
    My Front Row was doing what yours is, try this:
    Go back into Front Row and go to your music pick a song and play it for a min or two. Go back to the main Front Row menu and pick your photos that you want to view. It should now play the music with the photos/slide show.
    Good luck.

  • Unable to view movies in Front Row

    Hello all
    I have been having some issues since updating front row to the latest version when I attempt to view movies I have downloaded from the net. I save the files in the right location under Movies and when I navigate via Front Row I can actually see the files displayed correctly however as soon as I try and play them front row just exits out...
    I honestly have no clue what is wrong and would thus apprciate any help on troubleshooting this issue.
    Thanks

    This tends to happen when Front Row encounters a file format it is not familiar with. If it is a Divx file you need to have the quicktime divx components installed. Front Row uses quicktime to read the files so in general as long as quicktime can open it Front Row can. If the file has AC3 audio it may also crash if the proper codecs are not installed.

  • Pipeline functions - what happens under the hood?  (10g)

    Hi all,
    What happens when you call a pipelined function? (As opposed to a plain table-valued function.)
    From what I understand, a pipelined function will return rows as they are needed. Let's say I have a really silly example of a pipelined function,
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY TEST_PACKAGE_1
    AS
        FUNCTION GET_DATA RETURN JUST_A_TABLE PIPELINED
        IS
        BEGIN
            PIPE ROW (JUST_A_TYPE('HELLO'));
            PIPE ROW (JUST_A_TYPE('WORLD'));
            RETURN;
        END;
    END TEST_PACKAGE_1;
    /Then let's say I were to SELECT * FROM TABLE(TEST_PACKAGE_1.GET_DATA) WHERE ROWNUM = 1, what happens to the second row? Does the code that returns the second row still get educated? (Obviously it's omitted from the query, but does it still get generated somewhere and just go nowhere?)
    If I have a cursor on a PL/SQL block that selects from GET_DATA, will each row only be returned as the cursor references it? In that case, what happens to the rows that don't get selected? If there some resource that need to be closed out (say, just before the return statement), would it still be safe to close it out?
    Thanks!
    Don

    Interesting question, lets try a simple test and see we'll just take your example function and toss in a few dbms_output statements like so:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY TEST_PACKAGE_1
    AS
        FUNCTION GET_DATA RETURN JUST_A_TABLE PIPELINED
        IS   
        BEGIN
            dbms_output.put_line('ONE');
            PIPE ROW (JUST_A_TYPE('HELLO'));       
            dbms_output.put_line('TWO');
            PIPE ROW (JUST_A_TYPE('WORLD'));       
            dbms_output.put_line('THREE');
            RETURN;   
        END;
    END TEST_PACKAGE_1;Now not forgetting to enable dbms_output call it three times like so:
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(TEST_PACKAGE_1.GET_DATA) WHERE ROWNUM = 1;
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(TEST_PACKAGE_1.GET_DATA) WHERE ROWNUM <= 2;
    SELECT * FROM TABLE(TEST_PACKAGE_1.GET_DATA) WHERE ROWNUM <= 3;What I saw from my test was that with the first call I got 1 row of data from the pipelined function and only the first dbms_output statement was processed. For the second statement I got 2 rows of data from the function and the first two dbms_output statements were processed. For the final call I again got 2 rows of data from the function and all 3 dbms_output statements were processed.

  • Cannot install Front Row update 1.3.1

    Software update unloaded the installer for this update. I have tried to run it several times and each time receive an error message indicating that installation failed & I should try again.
    Two questions:
    1. How do I determine what version of Front Row is installed on my computer?
    2. How can I install this update??

    I was having trouble installing this update too. I finally went to the Apple downloads site and re-downloaded the update. I then tried installing it again and it worked! Try that. I don't know how to tell what version you have.

  • Randomly opens front row

    I'll be doing things like typing in adium of surfing around online when all of a sudden (on my no apple remote g5) front row will kill what ever music is playing in itunes and the front row screen will come on. i can't figure out what is causing front row to open unexpectedly.
    any ideas?

    No ATI Remote thingy. I am using SizzlingKeys which remaps some of the function keys so I can control iTunes... but this shouldn't be a problem.
    I have deactivated the default shortcut for FrontRow (Cmd-ESC) of course.
