I want Front Row Back

Where to send product feedback to Apple:

I agree. I use Front Row all the time especially for viewing photographs as I am a professional photographer. This is exceptionally annoying. Would love to hear from Apple about this but I won't get my hopes up....

Really?

I much prefer iPhoto or GraphicConverter for that purpose.

Hi Klaus,

Sorry I should have been a bit clearer. I use Front Row on my iMac 27 when friends want to see some of my phootgraphy albums. Never used iPhoto as I'm an Aperture user. Excuse the ignrance but could you let me know how you use graphic converter please ? Thanks

GraphicConverter is one of the most useful application ever made for the Mac:

One of its many features is an excellent slideshow facility.

Many thanks Klaus. I'll check it out now.

Many thanks Andy. Much appreciated.

I'm with Louis here. I use, or rather used, Front Row on a daily basis. Didn't happen to notice anything within the Apple brochureware that indicated I'd lose Front Row if I upgraded to Lion. I'm now seriously considering taking my Mac back to Snow Leopard as it's that much of deal breaker for me. I used to mock my colleagues for having to put up with Windows Media Centre on their PCs when I had this simple and beautiful application. Okay, so maybe I'm going a bit overboard, but I'm that peeved about losing Front Row! Grrrrr to Apple!

I completely agree with the comments made so far. What an incredibly bad move to remove Front Row from Lion! I have a mid 2010 Mac Mini attached to my TV set and run Elgato Eye TV to record TV programs and Elgato Turbo.264 HD to encode videos into iTunes-friendly format. iTunes and Front Row coupled with Candelair and Remote Buddy software give me an excellent media center. I managed to get Front Row back in Lion following:

but since I upgraded to iTunes 10.4, Front Row can no longer access content in iTunes. I'm looking to roll back to iTunes 10.3.1. I've also placed a call to Apple Support to give me possible options - perhaps refund my purchase of Lion so I can roll back to Snow Leopard.

I want Front Row too.! For me it was good easiest way to watch latest Movie trailers.

I also use my Mac Mini in the living room as a media player so I will stick with SL 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.3.1 since I like the Front Row interface for viewing movie trailers etc.

My little Apple remote is useless to me without Front Row.

I bought my 24" display for my 13" Macbook Pro so i could watch movies and browse photos when my friends come round using my remote and Front Row.

Seriously considering rolling back out of Lion because of the missing Front Row functionality.

For the moment i am going to try the "hack", but if the hack works then why couldn't those idiots at Apple have just left it in and said they weren't going to develop it further. I'm not asking for new functionality, but don't take this away.
