iMac G5 (iSight) and Front Row: Error messages appear when trying to play songs

If you try to play a song in Front Row on your iMac G5 (iSight) but the application can't find the song because it's not in the default iTunes library, you'll see an alert message that either says, "iTunes cannot play this song" or "Communications error." If this happens, just show Front Row where you keep your music.

If you keep all of your music in one folder location:

1. Open iTunes.
2. From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences.
3. Click the Advanced tab, then click the General tab below it.
4. Click Change next to the "iTunes Music folder location" section.
5. Navigate to and select the folder that contains your tunes.
6. Click Choose.
7. Click OK.

If your music is stored in different folder locations:

1. Open iTunes.
2. From the Advanced menu, choose Consolidate Library to copy songs from all locations to your default iTunes Music folder. Let the consolidation process finish before you go back to Front Row.

Tip: If you want to play just one song from another folder, play the song in iTunes first. Front Row will be able to find it once iTunes knows where the song is located.
