I want Front Row Back

I'm sure I'm like a lot of other people here. I want my Front Row back.....


I listen to a lot of Podcasts, watch movies from an SMB share, look at my photos, oh and listen to music. Front Row has done this for year after year, and last night, once I found it was gone, I wanted to go back to SL. How can Apple think they'll ship the new OS without the media center (Front Row) which has been around since what? 2005-8?


Honestly, if this is some sort of push (on their part) to their iCloud crap, they are in for a rude awakening.


Apple should stop taking away our functionality. This one step forward and two steps back is getting really lame.


Plus, there also seem's to be a lot of bugs. new one for me is then I have my two 24" displays connected (3 screens total). Once I plug my iPXXXXX in both 24" displays go back!!! OMG The insanity!!!

What makes you imagine that your "grade" is superior to anyone else's? The degree of sheer idiocy you exhibit so blatantly indicates you must be dizzy indeed. Unfortunately for you, your "replies" manifest much more than your absolute ignorance.


So, your "contribution" to this thread is that you expect something "better" than Front Row. Good for you. When that "better" thing finally does arrive, don't forget to post your relevant "expert" assessment. Until then, sir, you would be wise to get lost. If not, you'll be treated as you deserve.

Did you even read what I wrote. Better question, did you understand what I wrote, since obviously English is not your first language.


"Most new TV capable to play movies from a single USB hard drive, and have built in internet! conectivity! so i can play my pictures from ICloud:)"


I already have an Apple TV connected to my TV. That has zero to do with me wanting Front Row *on my iMac!*


"My wife is american, iam europian...

I teach using mac, besides i have a small butik Hotel (Guest House) and i am professional dancer an musician!"


Does she know that you are obviously anti-American? What did you marry her for, to get a green card?


Once again. The fact that you are using an American product that you don't have to and are contributing to Apple's American site while obviously being anti-American is quite amusing, not to mention contributing to a discussion that has absolutely nothing to do with you.


Also, you can't compare your wife's nationality and what you claim since Europe is not a country. That said, I am not surprised you are from a European country.


I am not interested in your profession.


"Check my profile ashole! You can be proud of yourself! congratulation!"


Wonderful language. That really contributes constructively to the discussion.


I am also not interested in your profile.

It's the native English speakers here that have a problem understanding English.

So if you have an iMac in your bedroom and say you are lying in bed how do you go about seeing the iTunes and Finder window and selecting what you want to watch? Maybe with binoculars?


I'm starting to suspect that you have never even used Front Row if you can not understand how it works relative to your bizarre alternatives.


"Its more help than recomend illegaly hacking the system! As i said before , waith, maybee Apple put that Front Row Back, but that power the floppy disk back into vogue, could be"


It is not illegal to hack, as you call it, your own paid for system.


When Apple removed the floppy drive there was actually an alternative, and a better one. Such is not the case with Front Row since things like Plex, and others, do not give you the ability to very simply access all your media content on your computer with a simple interface and a simple remote.


"We are living in Europe, my wife is as many american and not not be able to learn any language:)

Once again, Europe is not a country so stop talking as if it is. You live in Hungary.


I feel really sorry for your American wife. I hope one day soon, for her sake, she finds out how anti-American you are.

Wow! you are incredebile necty person, as your replys reflecting that!

I think is nice i speek your language, even if is not perfect! I try to help in your langauge so it not nice to criticize me if you are not better! Lets forget my family ok? What my family is do with Front Row?

Hungary its an EU Country, just in case , if nobody told you yet!

Why don't you guys/girls exchange your personal email addresses so thatyou can continue your disscussion about nothing there.

This thread is for mac users to discuss issues they have with Front Row.

Not.....

"Hungary its an EU Country"

"I think is nice i speek your language"

"I feel really sorry for your American wife"

etc...etc...etc....


I have to quote Taxes here....

"Once again. The fact that you are using an American product that you don't have to and are contributing to Apple's American site while obviously being anti-American is quite amusing, not to mention contributing to a discussion that has absolutely nothing to do with you."


Stop this childish behavior and lets get back to complaining about Front Row being taken from us!😉


This app should be offered in the App store!!!

Here is the reason I will not upgrade to LION. I purchased a MacMini and a remote control earlier THIS YEAR and set it up in my living room and connected a 42 inch monitor through HDMI. Now when I come home at night I have news podcasts from some of the world media waiting for me. All I have to do is to grab the remote and I am getting my news updates. I don't want to use a keyboard and a mouse because I have a todler who won't leave those alone. When I want to play music for my child I use the same remote to access my whole music library. My system works with FRONT ROW. I don't want to mess up my system with 3rd party applications. I am very disappointed that Apple took something that works perfectly for a lot of us and discontinued it. I will not upgrade to Lion until it includes Front Row.
