*What Is Front Row For Mac
The first message is not an issue (Front Row is not supposed to be started from a double-click), but the second gives the answer: Front Row does not launch because it checks to see if the Apple IR remote is present. So the solution is to fool the system into thinking there is an IR remote. It can be done by a simple edit of a plist file. Despite Apple’s best efforts, Front Row just can’t compete with awesome media center alternatives like XBMC and Plex. Nonetheless, it still exists even if you install something better. There are many alternatives to Front Row for Mac and since it’s discontinued a lot of people are looking for a replacement. The most popular Mac alternative is Kodi, which is both free and Open Source.If that doesn’t suit you, our users have ranked 11 alternatives to Front Row and six of them are available for Mac so hopefully you can find a suitable replacement. To play that media, launch Front Row, navigate to the Sources screen, and, in that screen, choose the networked Mac. ITunes must be running on the networked Mac for its library to be visible to.

Nice!
I tried Case 1, but at first nothing happened except getting an error mesage.
I then Repaired Permissions and it now works.
I’ve seen these instructions posted elsewhere but didn’t want to bother digging around in important files at the time.
What if you use a Logitech mouse with SteerMouse instead of LCC?
I have the same configuration, so I’m also interested in how to get Front Row running on the Mac Pro.
in case of a Logitech mouse without LCC, you have to find which extension is used.
I guess that SteerMouse installs its own extension (something like /Library/Extensions/SteerMouse.kext) ; you have to find it and edit the plist inside this.
..and it works ! Thanks ! :]
I have a BT Mighty Mouse and followed the instructions in case 1. Unfortunately nothing happens when I hit command+esc. When I try opening Front Row in the CoreServices folder I also still get the error that I don’t have a remote. I really don’t know what to do. Please help!
You have 2 solutions:
- use case 3 (find a basic non BT Apple mouse and plug it on USB)
- try to find which extension is used for BT mouses and hack it
somebody should write a driver for one of them cheap usb IrDA sticks which would fit nicely in the front slot.
Or even nicer, a driver that supports the Remote Controls shipped with various DVB-T sticks (like the Miglia Mini TV).
um.. if you have miglia remote, then you can control frontrow can’t you? new eyetv at least suports front row.Pour ceux qui préfèrent l’astuce en français :

(for those who’d like to read it in French) One more tip, I didnt think to do this sooner. If you STILL have trouble after doing all the above like I did, go to Apple menu> Security, and uncheck the ’Disable remote control infrared receiver.’ Close it and you should now be able to instantly hit Command + Esc to get Front Row. Screen Grab at http://www.dimented.net so you can see.
I used the andrew escobar way of getting front row for my ibook G4. Then I tried the instructions for making it work with my BT mighty mouse. However, after i followed the instructions front row no longer worked. Is there any way to get the mouse to work with front row if I used the downloaded version?
Any body seen this?System extension cannot be used.
The system extension ’/System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDMouse.kext’ was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update I tried to delete and install it again, still didn’t work. Please help!!
guys new to macs so excuse my ignorance on this question.
Question: I want to get front row working with the (apple remote) I do have the keyspan nice but I like the apple remote.
Machine Mac Pro 2.66 /intel. 2007.
So I understand that your able to get front row to work with the mouse or keyboard short cut but what about with the ir that the keyspan uses, i have also downloaded the Mira software which allows me to use the apple remote for almost anything but again front row is listed but nothing happens.
Obvious that the mac wont recognize the ir, any way to force it to see the ir(keyspan ir), or can you buy the ir from apple for a mini and plug it into the mother board direct( Mad question but coming from a x-pc owner i have to ask)
Any ides even mad ones lol.

I am not sure why but i have the wireless apple keyboard and mouse. I followed method 1 and nothing happened I even tried repairing permissions. I tried method 2 and well that killed my computer and I had to reinstall the OS.
I came back after that and attempted method 3. That did not work either.
I have the Mantra TR1 IrD with Mira installed. I can open iTunes, iPhoto, etc with my remote. However trying to open FrontRow does nothing.
Any other suggestions?
Tried option 1 and succeeded without any issues. I have a Mighty Mouse, and used Front Row with the Keyspan RF Remote for Front Row--works flawlessly.The following was submitted as a new tip by an anonymous contributor; I haven’t test it, so if you do, please comment on whether or not it works..
Apple Front Row -rob.
I read the article about how to enable Front Row and did this on my Mac Pro. But some people on MacRumors couldn’t get it running, as they had a Bluetooth Mighty Mouse. So I decided to go searching and try to fix this problem.
Well I have done some searching in my system, and I think I might know what to do for the wireless mighty mouses. However, I can’t test it in any way. So this is provided as is!
Drill down to system » library » extensions » IOBluetoothHIDDriver.kext » contents » info.plist, then go to IOkitpersonalities. Now in both the IOAppleBluetoothHIDDriver and in the IOBluetoothHIDDriver, make a child object item and call it HIDRemoteControl. Make it Boolean and make it true. And remember to do this in both the IOBluetoothHIDDriver and IOAppleBluetoothHIDDriver files. Save it and set permissions back (well, remember to change them in the first place so you can edit the file).I thought i put my email in for that..but i submitted that, and it was discussed here: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=300487 post 29 talks about it.
I’ve tried case two and have not yet been able to make this work. I’m using 10.4.10. No error messages when trying to launch Front Row, nothing. I’d appreciate some help! Thanks

The following steps are what you must do after adding the boolean value for M19-0a, M19-0b, and M19-1:
Click on the arrow to the left of M6.
Click on the first property that appears, whatever it is.
Press New Sibling, in the upper left of the window.
A new model string will be inserted and rename it to HIDRemoteControl.
Locate the new HIDRemoteControl line (it’s in alphabetical order).
Change the type from String to Boolean.
Change the Boolean value to Yes.
Click on the arrow to the left of M6-events.
Click on the first property that appears, whatever it is.
Press New Sibling, in the upper left of the window.
A new model string will be inserted and rename it to HIDRemoteControl.
Locate the new HIDRemoteControl line (it’s in alphabetical order).
Change the type from String to Boolean.

fyi Front Row is enabled for Mac Pros in 10.5 Leopard.Update Mac Os X 10.9.5
Front Row, the redheaded stepchild media center version of an Apple TV built into every Mac, is getting some Boxee-like streaming video love?through a new open source plug-in called Understudy. It ain’t perfect, but the simple add-on is an easy way to add both Hulu and Netflix into the mix of iTunes and your other media.What Is Front Row For Mac Pro
After a simple installer places a file called frUnderstudy.frappliance into /System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app/Contents/PlugIns/, a new Understudy menu item appears in Front Row’s main menu, nestled near the top between Movies and TV Shows. It is important to note that Understudy is not a browser like Boxee or the Apple TV’s iTunes Store portal. It works by pulling RSS feeds from your Hulu and Netflix accounts, so you will have to sign in to each service with Safari in order for Understudy to hook into your account to find things like the latest episodes from your Hulu show subscriptions and your Netflix Watch It Now queue. Front Roll Center Movies
In fact, all the Understudy area offers on first run is a slightly confusing ’Manage Feeds’ option, which prompts you to begin adding feeds for things like Hulu’s ’Recommended Videos’ and ’Most Popular: Today’ lists.What Is Front Row For Mac
I don’t have a Netflix account, so I added a few Hulu lists and played a couple of videos. The good news is that, as far as simply streaming a video full screen on a Mac goes, Understudy works pretty well. Feeds load fairly quickly, and clicking through to a TV show reveals all of the recent episodes that Hulu offers for streaming. Shows load and begin playing pretty quickly, and even Hulu’s thin timeline spans the bottom of the viewing area to let you know exactly how long you have been procrastinating.
Of course, no open source plug-in created for an application that offers no official plug-in support can be released without some drawbacks. Besides the clunky feed operation, there is no way to control other aspects of Hulu, including triggering the high-res version of a show or even skipping around the timeline (no, left/right arrows do not work, and neither does the Apple Remote). Plus, episodes are listed in chronological order under each show, so you will have to scroll through roughly all 15 episodes of, say, The Daily Show to get to the most recent one.
That said, Understudy is a fairly impressive piece of work, and it offers a bit more of an integrated experience than Boxee. If all you need is Hulu and Netflix (for now) added to Front Row, you can’t go wrong with this simple and free plug-in.
