DsurioN Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 I'm not sure if it would erase the hard drive, but I have noticed that the appleTV settings affect your system settings. I tried to change the language to Danish just for fun and it failed, but after that my OS X was in Danish (easy to change back though in system preferences) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DsurioN Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 Are you running a hackintosh? The first error in the log is "No matching IR micro server found". I'm pretty sure you need an apple remote to make it work. As far as I know, there's a USB IR receiver that can add support for apple remotes...

All the frameworks have been copied and the Finder file patched. It'll switch the resolution but nothing else happens. Any help is welcome.

DsurioN Posted March 29, 2007 Author Share Posted March 29, 2007 I don't know, but theoretically it should work the same on hackintosh since the only requirement is an OS X install.. Unless the patched finder was only hacked to ignore macs in the hardware-checks, but I doubt it because I think this patch comes from semthex, master hackintosher Also make sure that you follow the steps exactly as shown and if some of them are unclear (as you may understand them differently than I intended) don't be afraid to ask in the thread here. I've found that logging in and out after changing crucial system files is important, or else it doesn't get updated / loaded into memory and it screws up.

ibcrootbeer Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 has anyone else run into this bug? after i exit out of the new Front Row app (quit ATV) using all steps in the tutorial, i am unable to: log out the user, restart, shutdown, pressing "command+option+esc" does nothing (tried to relaunch finder). although pressing "command+option+shift+esc" makes the menu bar disappear until i click on an app in the dock and then it reappears... other than that everything is working as it should does anyone know why the finder is being disabled so to speak? help?

ssbands04 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 okay, i followed these instruction to a T........got the keyboard shortcut to work once, but now it doesnt i opened the app, played around for a second, then used the shortcut waited a minute, re-ran the app, and now i'm stuck locked out of the system.........any help?? and also, am i the only one who can't adjust the volume (i'm on a macbook btw) EDIT: Somehow it just started working now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibcrootbeer Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 and also, am i the only one who can't adjust the volume (i'm on a macbook btw) i too cannot adjust the volume while in ATV. Could be the fact that it thinks the volume should only be adjusted with the regular TV remote only??? i would think the apple remote would work the volume too though.

DsurioN Posted March 30, 2007 Author Share Posted March 30, 2007 Yeah I can't adjust the volume either - but no big deal, it can be done on my speakers or on the keyboard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptaylor Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Having strange issues.. First time I tried installing, I did the separate user account thing... That worked, except I can never get iTunes on another machine to see an Apple TV on the network.. Other than that, the remote worked, I could even watch movie trailers... Thinking perhaps there was some mistake with my installation, I tried the auto-installer yesterday on my main user account. With that installation, I got to the initial screen that tries to get me to connect to iTunes on another box... Still no go there.. Nothing in iTunes seems to see the AppleTV... What's even stranger is that my remote won't work with this install. After a few minutes, it starts scrolling pictures of flowers across the screen.. So, I dumped that install last night... (Deleted the Apple TV.app file along with the PrivateFrameworks) Today, I tried to follow the edited instructions in the main post to have it replace Front Row. All the steps seemed to go just fine, but when I run it, it gets to the screen where it wants me to get a copy of iTunes to see it... But, just like last night's install, the remote doesn't function, and iTunes on other machines still don't see it... Any ideas? This is with a 1st generation Intel iMac 20".

ptaylor Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Problem solved! First, I uninstalled Timbuktu... I'm not 100% sure if that was a problem or not, but I'm pretty sure about the 2nd thing I did... Months ago I installed Mira, which can alter your remote control functions. I had pretty much forgotten about it... I disabled it tonight and suddenly my Apple TV began responding to the remote.. Great! So, I went to my wife's Mac, and iTunes now sees my Apple TV.. Woohoo! Of course, all of my video content from the iTunes store is actually stored on my iMac... Not sure how to sync Apple TV with it, though, since the Apple TV interface is running on that machine... Anyhow, this is mainly for me to play with Apple TV to see how useful it is.. If I really like it, I'll probably end up buying a real Apple TV... I almost went to the Apple store tonight to buy one, but I'm still on the fence regarding functionality... I'm currently running SageTV as my PVR solution of choice... If someone could get Apple TV to be a PVR (or even a good client for another machine with Tuners), I might very well buy a couple... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meckimac Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 is this "version" of AppleTV using Quicktime and all its plugins from the Mac where it has been installed? If yes, we should be able to run XVID and DIVX movies - anybody tried that yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
