Apple released the new Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite in the Mac App Store for everyone to download and install for free on October 16th, 2014, but downloading a 5+ GB file for each of your computers will take some serious time. The best thing to do is download it once and create a bootable install USB drive from the file for all of your Macs.

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.
OS X Yosemite (/ j oʊ ˈ s ɛ m ɪ t iː / yoh-SEM-it-ee) (version 10.10) is the eleventh major release of OS X (now named macOS), Apple Inc.' S desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. OS X Yosemite was announced and released to developers on June 2, 2014, at WWDC 2014 and released to public beta testers on July 24, 2014. Yosemite was released to consumers on October 16. Yosemite was the 11th release of the Mac OS X and the last before Apple renamed its operating systems from OS X to macOS. Though it may be older than the current macOS, it is still one of the best Mac operating systems. It has some cool features including the ability to make and receive calls as well as chat with friends directly from your.
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.

Front Row For Mac Os X Yosemite 10 10 5
...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.

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.I tried to delete and install it again, still didn't work. Please help!!
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
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.

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.
Change the Boolean value to Yes.
Thanks for the contribution, Sam!

Make a backup
Before installing any upgrade, it’s a good idea to back up your Mac. Time Machine makes it simple, and other backup methods are also available. Learn how to back up your Mac.

Double-click the downloaded file to open a window showing its contents. Then double-click the file within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg.
Follow the onscreen instructions, which will guide you through the steps necessary to install.
Begin installation
After installation of the installer is complete, open the Applications folder on your Mac, then double-click the file named Install OS X Yosemite.
Click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions. You might find it easiest to begin installation in the evening so that it can complete overnight, if needed.
Allow installation to complete
Please allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart, show a progress bar, or show a blank screen several times as it installs both OS X and related updates to your Mac firmware.
