i was searching the option to change the photo source but couldn’t find it. Is it possible that this option isn’t available under OS X 10.4.11.

Thanks for help!

i can confirm that you are able to change the photo source in Front Row if you go into the settings panel. In my version of Front Row (2.1.6) I have:
Computer Name
Sw Version
Screen Saver
Sound Effects and
Photo Source which for me can either be Aperture of iPhoto

Hope that clears things up a bit

I can’t see that, only name (computer name), SW version, screen saver and sound effects….
my version of front row is up to date as far as I can see…

any other thoughts?

Hey guys i found a way of viewing apperture in front row.
Just go to front row and then to the settings menu. then on the last option it says what source would you prefer for your photos. Choose appeerture and you are done. Hope you this is useful.
By the way if you change the source to apperture, you can still watch your iphoto photos in Front Row

Not sure if this is of any use but you can add your Aperture previews to your iPhote library. Go to archive -> Show Aperture library and then drag an album to iPhoto. It will load the previews (created by Aperture) in iPhoto which you can then view in Frontrow.

Just dropping by after googling for Aperture and Front Row. I’m going to hook up a Mac Mini with my LCD and would like to share the Aperture library from my iMac with the Mini. It seems that an AppleTV could do this. Hmmm..

Front Row saw my iPhoto library, until I deleted it after importing it into Aperture…

Hey guys, I am also trying to solve the same problem.
Also, now that I installed Aperture none of the two libraries (aperture or iphoto) is shown in front row. ie, Front row now claims that iphoto does not have any library associated with it (which is false).
Did this happen to you?

Great! One more reason to pick up an AppleTV! I wonder if they’ll roll Aperture support into Front Row, too? (so I could use my MacBook Pro to show photos)

You can sync Aperture library with Apple TV. Look at this article
