You need to make Front Row work on Lion.
Have a look here for how to do it:

This scenario is not supported by Apple or whomever. If something goes wrong .. well, a warning should be included if we point at such "custom" solutions.
Also this will not help him in iTunes Library content in FrontRow... iTunes 10.4.x uses a Library format that FrontRow in Lion can't read any longer.. and if he has a ipod/iphone/ipad he surely can not afford to stick life-long with iTunes 10.3..
to me this is NO solution but full of unknown future hickups, just saying. FrontRow is gone, the sooner one gets used to it, the better. What if 10.7.2 will break this "workaround" ? and what with future iTunes ? .. you see what I want to say..

  • HT1660 Can I play movies and music from my external hard drive or do I have to re-instll them on my computer?

    Can I play my movies and music from my external hard drive or do I have to reinstall it on my computer?

    Hello B3NN13,
    If you would like to add the music from your external hard drive to iTunes without copying it to the iTunes Library on your internal hard drive, you may find the following article helpful:
    Add files to your library without adding them to your iTunes folder
    When you add an item already on your computer to your iTunes library, iTunes places a copy of the file in your iTunes folder. The original file remains in its current location.
    You can change this setting so that files are added to your iTunes library without being added to the iTunes folder. You might want to do this, for example, if you prefer to store video files on an external disk but still want to view them in iTunes.
    Choose iTunes > Preferences, and click Advanced.
    Deselect the checkbox next to “Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library.”
    From now on, when you drag a file to your library or choose File > Add to Library, the item appears in iTunes, but the actual file isn’t copied or moved.
    Tip: You can temporarily reverse this setting by holding down the Option key while you drag files to the iTunes window.

  • My gen 2 ipod stopped playing movies and music

    my Ipod gen 2 stopped playing music and movies  movies say can not be played and music just goes back to the song list

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Error message when trying to play movies and music videos

    I am getting the below message on my TV screen when i try to play movies via my iPad device through airplay. The irony of it is that I watched a whole movie before this problem developed.

    Make sure your HDMI connection is secure, try a reboot

  • Why can't I use Airplay/Bluetooth audio output and Guitar input at the same time?

    Just trying to understand why it is not possible to use one of the 3rd party guitar input devices and have AirPlay/Bluetooth output turned on at the same time.  it would be very nice to be able to play wirelessely to the stereo instead of adding yet another cable to the mix.
    Thanks

    I found the answer:
    Use GarageBand for iOS with external output devices
    You can use GarageBand for iOS with external devices, including AirPlay, Bluetooth, and HDMI-equipped media devices. When using any of these devices there is no support of audio input.

  • Why can't I use tab key to move around in Add Bookmark Dialog?

    It is much easier and faster if the tab key can be used to move around in the Add Bookmark Dialog. Otherwise, it will be very annoying that every time you add a bookmark, you need to grab a mouse.
    Or could you recommend a addon that let me add bookmark without using mouse and the bookmark is just organized simply in a tree view?

    Never tried that before in Firefox, but the Tab key works for me to navigate thru the Add Bookmark dialog in Firefox 3,6.15 on Ubuntu 10.04 Linux. Might be different in Win7 or you may have a problem with one of your addons.
    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • Why can't I use the fade to black and white option in iMovie '11?

    I have a project that uses a few photos with one minute duration timers I want to slowly fade from color to black and white but the fade to options are all greyed out... Am I over looking something or doing something wrong?

    Exiled Angel wrote:
    ....it's the color in the pictures I want to gradually reduce the saturation on until they are black and white before the transitions start, not fade in or out to a black or white screen like you are suggesting.
    Sorry, but I wasn't suggesting that you use Fade to Black or Fade to White, just explaining what they do, given that you used the term "fade" in your first post. I assumed you may have been using the Fade to Black transition (which won't achieve what you want).
    I suggested that you use Cross Dissolve, but I need to explain further how to achieve the effect you are looking for. First, you need to place a copy of the photo directly after the original. Make sure Ken Burns is turned off - use Fit. Now double-click on the copy to bring up the Clip Inspector. Click on Effects and select Black & White, then click Done. Drag a Cross Dissolve transition between the 2 clips (photos) and adjust the duration to your liking in the Inspector. Now you will see the effect your are looking for.
    The key is to have an exact copy of the photo following the original, then change the copy to Black and White (or Sepia or any other effect), then insert the Cross Dissolve (or Cross Blur etc.) transition.
    Hope that''s what you are looking for!

  • Can I split where my library stores movies and music?

    Hi,
    My iTunes library is filling up my HD fast.  The HD on my computer is only 1TB.  Since I got Apple TV, I've been ripping my DVD's and keeping them in iTunes.  That's been eating a lot of disk space.  Is it possible to put the movies on an external 2TB and keep my music, iTunes U, etc on the internal HD? 
    Thanks,

    You can.
    One way is to go to Preferences/Advanced. Uncheck the box that tells iTunes to move all copied files to the Media folder. Put your movie files on the hard drive of choice.
    Then you can get the listings into iTunes. Under the File menu in iTunes you select Add to Library... and find the files where you know them to be. You are adding them to iTunes but the location stays the same. To be sure, after they show up in iTunes, highlight one. Go to Get Info and look at the first tab or Cmd-1. The entire thread of the location of that particular file will be showing. Make sure it reads the way you expect it to.
    If you want to make sure all the new music files go to the Media folder you should go back and recheck that box in the Advanced Preferences tab.
    There is another way - create a new library and have all files in that library (for your movies) automatically copy to its Media folder, but assign that Media folder (again in the Advanced tab) the way you want. But you can only have one iTunes library open at a time and only those files will be available to Apple TV.
