iMags Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I have renamed Apple TV OS-finder.app to AppleTV.app and I can close and open this as much as I want. But is it possible to install anything like the normal OSX versjon of Finder? I really want someting other than Terminal to browse my files. If it is not possible to install Finder, then why? ...and how can we or someone make it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DsurioN Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I'm not quite sure what you're talking about but if you're running appleTV on a mac, it doesn't even have to be this complicated (you don't have to replace the finder). Just check out my guide here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=46680 quite easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMags Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 I am talking about doing this on a real Apple TV. Not on a OSX-Mac, but it seems alot like the Apple TV won't run the OSX Finder.app. Maybe if I try a Finder.app from an older Mac OSX, maybe 10.4.7??

Beach Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 I think finder needs SSE3 to run. iMags - i'm curious how your AppleTV works. What have you done with it? Do you run terminal with an attached keyboard, or do you VNC? Can you run other programs, like Transmission? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMags Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 I am using iTerm (a Terminal-like app with tabs) on my Apple TV with a keyboard attached. I haven't tried Transmission yet, but I can run VLC, Firefox, DragThing (a dock replacement, because I can't get the real Mac OSX-dock to work), 3D-Space VFS (a Finder replacement), Joost, TextEdit and System Preferences. "I think finder needs SSE3 to run." If the Apple TV doesn't have SSE3 and if Finder needs SSE3, why can I run the Finder app wth Mac OSX installed on my Apple TV?

bxsci(macuser) Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 well if you installed mac os x on your apple tv then you would be using the JAS because regualar os x doesnt run in SSE2 so to get a finder.app running you would have to use a "hacked" version of finder.app found in your JAS install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMags Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Okey. Thanks. I will try that. Is there any other required files to get the Finder to run than the "Finder"-file and the "Finder.app"-file in /System/Library/CoreServices/? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMags Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Does someone have a Finder.app that is "hacked" to run on SSE2? Can you please upload it somewhere and PM me the URL? Please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
