Does an upgrade to ilife 11 contain idvd for use with mountain lion (10.8.5)?

Does an upgrade to ilife 11 contain iDVD for use with mountain lion (10.8.5)?  I received an advertisement about upgrading to iLife 11 and it discusses sharing via iDVD, which was disabled when I upgraded to Mountain Lion OS 10.8.5.  Would purchasing the iLife 11 download restore the functionality of iDVD, or is this just another way to get the sheep to upgrade iMovie with no way to export to iDVD or equivalent.  Why is there no Apple warning that Mountain Lion disables and does not support iDVD?  I used to think Microsoft was a trickster, but I'm of the opinion that Apple meets or exceeds their slippery machinations.  Am I just stuck with purchasing a 3rd party software to replace iDVD?

If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Anyone know a fully functional PC layout keyboard for use with Mountain lion 10.8.3?

    Hi, I'm currently switching between a PC laptop and a Mac mini desktop and I'm always typing the wrong keys as some are in different places on the different keyboards.  For example " is where @ is.  I'd really like a keyboard with a PC layout where Mountain Lion will recognise and respect the PC layout.  I've heard many models of PC keyboard are compatable with Mac but not fully functional and don't recognise that the keys are in different places (for instance Microsoft 800 Wireless desktop).  I wondered if anyone knew of a PC keyboard which was fully functional?  Thanks.

    My old Brother printer has churned out 60,000 pages and is still going strong. And it has worked without problems on every OS version since 10.4. That model is no longer being sold, but i would recommend the Brother brand without reservation.

  • How do you format an NTSF external hard drive for use with Mountain Lion

    I'm switching over to Mac from PC, and have an external NTSF formated hard drive I regularly use. I understand from the forum the initial file transfer should be no issue, but for ongoing use of the HD, does it need to be formated to something other than NTSF... and if so, to what and how.

    Do this when you're ready:
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • Does FrameMaker 12 have an LEID value for use with serialization via AAMEE?

    Does FrameMaker 12 have an LEID value for use with serialization via AAMEE?

    I wish life was that easy :-).
    You have a valid argument; So I had this kind of test going. I had 50,000 messages of
    type-1 first loaded into the queue. Then I had 100 messages of type-2 loaded on to the
    queue.
    At this point, I issued a conditional dequeue that skipped type-1 messages and only
    asked for type-2 messages. I saw the full table scan.
    Then I created another test case 1 million type-1 messages had to be skipped.
    Still full table scans. I am not convinced that the doing full table scans is the best query
    plan out there. Cost Based Optimizer tends to disagree for some reason. May be
    it is right; But I have to avoid FTS when possible. As you know, not only blocks
    used by the existing rows in the table get scanned, but also every block until the
    high water mark level.
    One might say for a table with volatile data that comes and goes on a daily basis, million is an extreme case. Howvere, I am building a general purpose infrastructure based
    on AQ and cannot rule out consumers who misbehave.
    Are there better ways to handle multiple types of consumers on a single physical queue ? I need to be able dequeue specific consumer types if necessary, and this has to be
    done in a performant manner.
    Other alternatives I can think are
    1. Using a multi consumer queue such that there is one subscriber for each message
    type. Use multiple agent sets in a listen method to listen to messages and then
    control what agents we pass into listen method.
    Any pattern suggestions welcome.
    Thanks

       Barney,  William,  nbar, Galt\'s Gulch:
       A nephew stayed with us to take a course at the local community college last semester. I allowed him use of my mac for research just after I installed Mountain Lion. He decided to "help out" and ran a 3rd party clean and tune up app., Magician.  The tune up wiped over 1200 titles of my music in iTunes,  also a path of folders with names containing nothing but more empty folders with names. Almost every program I open and run for a short time crashes, also folders and programs are in wrong places, or cannot be located (the nephew, for instance). Up to this time I have always been able to track a problem far enough to resolve it by careful persistence and good luck, but I do not have the tech savvy to solve this one without getting in deeper. I have run disk utility saveral times and always get  variations of this:
    ACL found but not expected on
    "private/etc/resolve.conf"
    "private/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel"
    "private/etc/rabbd/sites-enabled/control-socket"
         Also, after four years of intense daily use it is cluttered with much junk,  and every app that I was curious about, and I am a very curious guy.
       So I know my limits, (and now my nephew). I dumped my pc for a Strawberry iMac a few years ago, and so far every problem I've encountered, or brought on myself, the Mac has resolved with its own inner elegance - in spite of my novice bungels - and now I honestly feel ashamed, in addition to the need to apologize to a machine for allowing a peasant into the Royal Grounds - so I am calling the Wise Ones in for this one.
       Crazy, I know, but to me a Mac represents something far beyond the ordinary  input ➛ process  ➛ output  title/function customarily assigned to a machine - I sense an odd kind of morality involved, one that I need to respect.
        So, these are my reasons for wanting to do a clean install, correctly.
            Thank you,  Truitt

  • How does one install non-English character sets for use with the "find" function in Acrabat Pro 11?

    I have pdf files in European languages and want to be able to enter non-English characters in the "find" function. How does one install other character sets for use with Acrobat Pro XI?

    Have you tried applying the update by going to Help>Updates within Photoshop Lightroom?  The update should be using the same licensing?  Did you perhaps customize the installation location?  Finally which operating system are you using?

  • Is IDVD 7 compatible with Mountain Lion?

    Apparently I need to get a disc with the older IDVD 7 on it to run on my MacBook Pro retina with Mountain Lion OSX 8.2.
    Will it work?
    Thanks for the help

    Yes, BUT:
    But even though you can still buy iLife 11 that includes iDVD 7 from Amazon, Apple now make it difficult to install:
    Poster jhb21939 posted this in another thread:
    “when I attempted to load iDVD into a new iMac. A notice came up on the screen stating that the 'Authorisation Licence' had expired on 25 March this year (2012).
    I contacted the Apple support team and eventually, I was told that the Licence had been withdrawn and could no longer be used.”
    In other words Apple are now so adamant that we don’t use iDVD that they have tried to make it impossible to install.
    In response, Old Toad posted this solution:
    “You can still use it one all of your Macs.  If you get an invalid certificate message just set your Mac's clock to sometime before early 2011 and run the installer.  After you're done reset the time back to the correct time.” He added this comment:
    “It began after iDVD and iWeb were discontued and they were dropped from the Apple Store. All I can think of is the certificate was set to expire after a certain time period after the intitial iLife disc was released.
    I've been able to use the installer even without setting back the date.  I just clicked on the Continue button and it would work as expected.  For some it would not continue unless the date was set back.”
    The latest anorexic iMacs just announced do not even include a CD drive! Proof positive that Apple virtually prohibit the use of DVDs - although the newly announced Mac Minis do include a Superdrive.
    Yet, they still include iMovie! Heaven alone knows or understands what you are supposed to do with your newly edited masterpiece - except make a low quality version for YouTube?

  • Does anyone have an email client that is working with Mountain Lion? I'm giving up on Mail after installing Mountain Lion

    Hi
    I give up.  I just cannot see my exchange inbox in Mail after installing Mountain Lion.  My mail is not being deleted.  Its still in my inbox I just can't see it. I've tried everything suggested on the forums and nothing is working for me.
    My productivity has completely stalled and I really need to move to an email client that is going to work seamlessly with Mountain Lion. 
    Any recommendations?

    I have been having the SAME problem with ALL my Gmail accounts with Mail.app - It is very annoying, especially when you have clients and other important email to respond to.  So you're definitely NOT alone in this department.
    Might have to go back to Thunderbird or something until this gets fixed, which is going to really suck because I have 5000+ emails along with all my Email Folders in Mail not too mention the Rules I have had setup for years!
    AND with the RSS Feeds NOT working in BOTH Mail and Safari!  That was a HUGE MISTAKE and defintely a STEP BACKWARDS on whoever's idea that was for sure!

  • Is it possible to upgrade a computer that qualifies for Mavericks to Mountain Lion via a content code purchase from the Mac App Store?

    I inherited a situation where a previous consultant purchased a Mountain Lion installer code from the Apple Store but Mountain Lion was never installed. I obtained a new installer code from Apple based on the valid purchase of the Mountain Lion software last month.
    The Mountain Lion installer appears under Purchases in the Mac App Store, but nothing happens when I try to download it. When I try to redeem the purchase by inserting the content code I get a message indicating that the content code has already been redeemed.
    I don't mind spending $20 to purchase a fresh content/installer code, but I would like some assurance that the Mountain Lion software can be installed on a computer that qualifies for Mavericks. Not wanting to upgrade to Mavericks is not my idea but is that of my client.
    Or to put it another way, does Apple prohibit such an install unless the computer in question does not qualify for a Mavericks upgrade?

    It is your decision which OS you want to upgrade to - Apple does not place such restrictions (unless the machine specs do not meet the OS's specs or vice versa). So, if yours does meet Mavericks specs, it can run any OS newer than what it came with.
    So, which OS does the machine have now?
    I inherited a situation where a previous consultant purchased a Mountain Lion installer code from the Apple Store but Mountain Lion was never installed. I obtained a new installer code from Apple based on the valid purchase of the Mountain Lion software last month.
    Was this purchase done on this same Mac? If so and someone else purchased the OS, then the likely answer is: any OS or app obtained at the app store is not transferable - its' license is tied to the original purchaser's Apple ID forever. So, it may have been a valid purchase, but it is tied to the purchaser, not you.
    In order to get past that, you will need to wipe the drive booting from either the original install disk (which OS did the Mac come with?) or using recovery if it was Lion. After wiping the drive, reinstall the original system, and then you can purchase and download any OS version you'd like using your own Apple ID.
    Let me know if I misunderstood the situation.

  • HT1338 does anyone know how to get Java for OS X Mountain Lion working?

    I updated to OS X Mountain Lion and some of the game at (Pogo.com) that use Java are not working. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance

    Open up Java Preferences and it will offer to download and install Java for you.
    Otherwise you can open up a Terminal and type:
    java -version
    Which will do the same thing.

  • Can I restore the Snow Leopard version of 'Preview' for use in Mountain Lion?

    When running Snow Leopard I enjoyed using Preview with my HP C7280 All-in-One Scanner/Printer.  I could place several items on the glass plate and Preview would then carry out a "preview scan". The superior edge detection software contained in Preview would recognise that there was more than one item on the scanner glass and put a marquee rectangle around each object (even separate images in a magazine page).  I could de-select objects if I wanted to at this point to avoid scanning them, or I could opt to scan. 
    Preview would then scan all selected items in one go outputting a separate file for each one. No need to re-scan and select the next object.  Preview would do the lot in one go! This was fantastic for saving  time for me. 
    Preview really 'kicked the crap' out of my PC at work. The best the scanning software on the PC could was to auto-detect a single item.*  So if I have a lot to do, I have to preview scan and then save/scan each item individually to achieve the same result.
    All this changed when I updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.  The scanning is nothing like as effective and time saving as before.  Preview just scans the whole glass plate straight to a file irrespective of what is on it, no preview scan and no object edge detection whatsoever; not even a single object like on my old PC at work. Absolute rubbish!
    I really want to restore the functionality I had before. So I wonder, is it best to revert my iMac to Snow Leopard, or can I achieve this another way?   I don't necessarily want to abandon Mountain Lion - but I will if I have to.
    Is it possible to restore the Snow Leopard version of Preview whilst keeping Mountain Lion? Or maybe download the Lion version from somewhere instead - assuming that the Lion version still has same functionality as the Snow Leopard version?
    *Even this is better than what Preview does since I updated to Mountain Lion

    It's either that or finding other software for your scanning needs. For example, Image Capture comes with OS X, VueScan 9.2.09, ExactScan Pro 2.24.
    Alternatively, partition your hard drive and install Snow Leopard on another volume.
    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
    2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive. Use the Snow Leopard installer DVD to install Snow Leopard on your new volume.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • Outlook for Mac with Mountain Lion - where are my folders ?

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and the folders I had On My Mac disappeared.  Does anyone know how i can retreive them?  Then how do I import them into Apple Mail as I am done with Outlook.

    What is "Windows for Mac software"? Do you mean Office for Mac? If you mean Office for Mac, what version do you have? Mountain Lion only supports Office for Mac 2008 and newer. Mountain Lion does not support any PPC programs. If this is your situation you must upstae your Office for Mac to the newest version.

  • Cropping in ilife 11 iphoto 9.4 with mountain lion

    I upgraded to iphoto 9.4 and mountain lion.  Whenever I go to restrain crop to 4x6 or 8x10 if defaults to "landscape" and I have to click "portrait" manually. I used to be able to drag the crop box directly to either portrair or landscape in prior versions of iphoto.  Having to toggle back and forth between portrait and landscape is annoying when cropping a large number of pictures.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    that is unfortunate and very annoying when cropping a series of pictures.  My older version of iphoto allowed you to change orientation directly in the cropping mode by dragging the cropping window to the orientation you wanted.
