Why was FrontRow discarded in Lion? and how can we influence Apple to put it back?

Although FrontRow had it's limitations I used it every day. I very recently bought an iMac and ordered the remote as well. After having updated to Lion the remote appears pretty useless and my usage of the iMac has dropped 50% at least. What can be the reason FronRow was dropped? Is this the right place to let Apple know there are some users that are very dissatisfied with the decision to drop FrontRow?

My mac won't read my external harddrive's videos that I took with my Nikon. Half the videos won't play, and those are .avi files. WHY won't they play anymore and how can i retrieve them?

What exactly is your problem? Is it, (a) your Mac doesn't read your external disk, or, (b) you can't retrieve your videos, or, (c) you can't play them, or, (d) you were able to play them at one point, but not any more.
What version of Mac OS X are you using, what app are you trying to play your videos with, what happens when you do, and what error messages, if any, do you get?

why is there an error 9006 and how can i fix it?? please answer and btw its an ipad mini

if you are trying to download and install ios7, it is probably because of the enormous amount of traffic apple's download servers must be experiencing. things should return to normal before too long, just hang tight

HT5012 Why I phone 4 no siri and how can download siri in I phone 4 please advice me

Why I phone 4 no siri and how can download siri in I phone 4 please advice me

Because Apple believes the iPhone 4 does not have the necessary hardware to use Siri effectively, & no, you can't download it or install it.

In iPhoto most of my photos appear to have been replaced by much smaller versions. What has happened and how can I get the full size photos back?

That is either a bug in Firefox 5 or the script has a problem with Firefox 5.<br />
It works in all other Firefox versions like Firefox 3 and 4 and 6 (Aurora) and 7 (Nightly).

Why did my Address Book disappear and how can I get it back?

The Address Book application has simply disappeared on two of my MacBook Pros. I thought the first one (work laptop) was a fluke but now that it's happened on my own MacBook I think something is wrong.
The app is no longer available anywhere on my hard drive. It's as if I threw it away, but I didn't. I can't open any associated files, so I don't even know if the data has been preserved.
Can anyone help me figure out why it disappeared, where it went, and how to get it back, short of reinstalling OS X 10.5.8 (the version I'm currently using)? I want to upgrade to Snow Leopard (not Lion -- no one seems to like it), but I'd like to fix this problem first. And I can't upgrade on the work MacBook because I have to use the enterprise-approved OS version.
Thanks!

Amy, is there a chance they could both be Syncing to another device that has the data erased?
What are the sizes & modification dates on the files you found?
Could be many things, we should start with this to be safe, though 2 different ones would seem unlikely to be this problem...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Why do certain apps open when starting up in Lion and how can I disable them?

When I start up my iMac using Lion, certain apps--iChat, Calendar, Mail--open. How can I disable these?

Welcome to the iOS world of nonthinking, wherein the OS decides everything for you, whether or not that's what you want. Salient details described in http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html#resume

IPhoto "Unexpectedly Quit". When I went back in, about the past month's worth of uploaded photos was missing. What happened, and how can I retrieve them?

IPhoto was open, but "unexpectedly quit". When I opened it again a couple days later, my most recent photo uploads (for the past month or so) were missing, with dated Events folders saying "no photos". This had happened another time about a year ago? What happened, and how do I retrieve my photos? I hadn't backed them up, but do they automatically do so on iCloud?

Assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

PRINTER PROFILE WHY IS MY PRINTER NOT LISTED AND HOW CAN I ADD

I have just installed Lightroom 5 and went to set up profile of printer and my epson stylus pro 4900 is not listed. How can I add

Lightroom does not show a full list of all the profiles present in the computer. This would be unmanageably long, including a lot of irrelevant choices.
The user customises what is seen.
In the Print Job / Color Management section of the Print module, is a "Profile" selector. The lowest item in the menu that opens when you click on this, is "Other..."
Selecting this opens a new dialog, listing all the color management profiles that the OS currently knows about. Putting a check next to any printing output profile, makes that appear in the LR profiles "shortlist" hereafter. This would usually state a specific paper type, for a specific printer (and inkset if nonstandard).
AFAICT the exact same "shortlist" appears in softproofing too - in that case, AdobeRGB and sRGB are automatically offered as well.

My iTunes won't open. Says I don't have permission. Why is my computer doing this and how can I fix it so I can access my iTunes?

And is there someone who can help me resolve this problem? I've uninstalled iTunes but even when I put it back on, it says the same thing over and over again.

I'm having the same problem. iTunes won't open and says I don't have permission. What do I do now?

Trying to upgrade from snow leopard to lion. Father already purchased Lion online a few months ago but did not use upgrade (did not know cmp was already running on lion). How can I use his upgrade on my computer without having to buy another Lion upgrade?

Hi,
Basically my computer is running on Snow Leopard. My father bought the Lion upgrade to install on his computer, however, it ended up being that his newly purchased lap top already came running with Lion -- thus, he never ended up using the Lion upgrade he purchased. Now, I would like to use the Lion upgrade he purchased but did not use to upgrade my computer to Snow Leopard. The information he gave me for this was the Web Order Number, Part Number, and Content Code for the Lion upgrade. How do I redeem/use his upgrade to update my computer to Lion without having to purchase another copy of the Lion software from the App store? Is that possible?
Thank you so much!!!

Unless he controls your machine (same household), you can't. At $30 USD, pop for your own copy.

Why did my print size change and how can I fix it??

I have an HP Deskjet 3745, for a while now. Works great until last week, when it started printing way too large. What would normally fit on one page now fills up two pages, but the right side prints off the page. I use it for basic printing of pay stubs, some emails, web coupons, stuff like that. Using Windows XP. I have tried re-installing the driver and going into printer properties with no luck. The option to "print to fit page" is not highlighted.
Any advice??

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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 from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Why does Firefox keep opening Facebook and how can I stop it happening?

I have Facebook open in secure mode on a Firefox home tab. Now every time I open Firefox it tries to open Facebook in insecure mode. If I close the tab it just opens another.
This is very annoying. How do I stop Firefox doing this?

Is this very recent? Did you install the new Thunderbolt/Ethernet update?
