View 1 RepliesI upgraded to Lion and sadly, Front Row is not supported. I somehow found the Front Row app in my systems folder and moved it to my Applications folder. Front Row now shows up in my applications folder, as well as Launchpad. However, when I go into Front Row, it does not recognize any of my media from iTunes. I tried out this website: [URL]..blog/frontrowenablerforlion to no avail. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how to make Front Row work in OS X Lion.
Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), Front Row in Lion
I have a Mini Media center that I installed Front Row onto. When I updated to 10.4.11 I found that Front Row was broken and I finally figured out how to get it going again. I'm posting this simply for the spreading of knowledge. What you'll need:
Enabler [URL]
Front Row 1.3.0 [URL]
Front Row 1.3.1 [URL]
Pacifist [URL]
Installing: Put Front Row 1.3 package on desktop. (don't open) Open Enabler and Install Front Row. Enable Front Row (if you get an error you probably already have it enabled). <Restart> Use Pacifist to open FrontRow 1.3.1 package. Find Front Row App (System>Library>Core Services) Install the app and Replace when prompted.
Any news of Front Row in Lion? Apple is selling the mac mini without any new interface? Apple really needs to offer us something over front row which I don't think has been updated since 2007. So Apple how about it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIm new to the forum for posting but have been around for a while soaking up info. I have a mac mini c2d 2ghz, ive had it for a few years now and its always behaved, its always on and is an excellent computer for what i need, its now running snow leopard. What i would like to do is turn it into a dedicated media centre as im looking at either a new mini or if i can stretch the wallet, an*i3 imac. Is there anyway i can boot directly into front row on my mini, without having to boot to the desktop, then to front row, i know its not so much bother to do the latter, just believe it would look better booting to front row or any other dedicated media centre software, All movies, pics and music will be stored on the minis hard drive or aliased to an external drive. I have searched in the forums and also with google, but cant find anything about the automatic booting into the media centre.

I have a Mac Mini from 2009. And it stands in my bedroom and is almost always on. So the led light is a bit annoying in front of the Mac Mini. Is there a way to turn this off when it's on?

After several hours my mac is running linked to my LCD screen through MiniDisplay Port - VGA connector, Front Row simply doesn't start. It fades to black for a while but then it immediately fades back to the desktop.
I uninstalled every application might have affected Front Row (Caffeine, LastFm, TV Row) but it was useless. I even tried to fix permissions in the Disk Utility, but it didn't help.
What do I do if the front camera on my MacBook Pro does not work, but the green light next to the camera is on? I've tried use photo booth, facetime, skype to test the camera, the green light was on, but there is no image. It means my front camera's gone?

I have a client who just got a new MBP, so today was the first day he had it on the all windows network.There's shares on a 2008 R2 server that, on my identical MBP model, I can map just fine with command+K, using smb://servername or smb://ipaddress Both work fine for me, and prompt me for credentials.
Oh his new one though, it bombs. In the connection box after you hit return, instead of showing "connecting to smb://blahblah" it shows "connecting to afp://smb://blahblah" For some reason, even though I am manually specifying SMB:// as the target, it still prepends AFP:// in front of that AFTER we try to connect.
Only thing I've found all morning searching is someone who told another user having a similar issue to use lower case, not upper case. Since we were already using lower case, not helping, and using upper case made no difference either.
What can I do to kill this AFP:// automatically putting itself in front of the SMB:// As I said, 2008R2 server and windows AD netwtork, neither mac is part of the domain. Just using passthrough authentication (which worked fine on his previous model Core2 Duo MBP and still works fine on my 2011 15" quad core i7 MBP with current Lion).
What's really frustrating is I hit this once before a few years ago when I first switched from a PC based laptop to my first MBP, and while I found an answer quickly back then, this time I'm not finding the answer anywhere.

How can I trim a few seconds off the front and end of an MP3? I looked at GarageBand but it wants to create a new projects and all sorts of stuff that aren't related to this simple task.

I have my Mini hooked up through a usb/minidisplayport to HDMI adapter. On my keyboard when I push mute or volume up or down, the computer shows the mute/vol up/vol down icon on the screen when I push it and it makes the volume sound, but it does not actually mute the tv or make the volume go up or down. Only the actual TV controls will make it work.

My wife has an older Mac mini that came preloaded with 10.4. The hard drive failed and I have installed a new one, used the 10.4 DVD to format the drive BUT when I try to install the OS, it says I need to install 10.3 first. There is no 10.3 DVD with the mini. It came with 10.4 preloaded and the 10.4 DVD clearly says that is is part of a hardware bundle and not for resale. Nowhere on the DVD does it say "upgrade". How do I get 10.3 or get the 10.4 DVD to work?

I wanted to know if the Travel Kit that Apple sells would be compatible with the Mac Mini. I am thinking of buying one in the US for money's sake, and I live in the UK. I just wanted to make sure that if I did get it, it wouldn't be a waste of money.

View 4 Replies View RelatedPossibly in the market for a MacMini but was wondering how well it would work if I streamed video files, mostly .avi files from an external HD connected to my Airport Extreme. Does processor speed matter, or is more important to have a good WiFi/internet connection?
I was going to buy a Mini and then upgrade the HD/RAM, but if I can get away with getting a base model and simply stream videos and other files from the drives that I have shared over the network, it would certainly save me a ton of money.
My friends Macbook's harddrive died and after successfully replacing it she now wants to reinstall Leopard, but she doesn't have the install disks that came with her Macbook. She has asked to borrow the one that came with my Mac mini, but will this work? I am assuming it only contains the drivers and parts of Leopard needed for a Mac Mini and not a Macbook?
I've got a current gen Mac Mini and she has a plastic Macbook, so they have different graphic cards and what not. Is my disk going to work on her machine?

I have a NIB C2D mini with installed 10.5.4 Leopard. Can I wipe the HHD and then install the 10.4.7 Tiger disk from my earlier model CD mini?
If not, will it work if I install Tiger on an external HD and then firewire it to a wiped C2D?
I have older SW I still want to use and don't need the upgrade Leopard.
