How do I make Smart Quotes in iMovie 11

I'm trying to make a title in iMovie 11 and don't see a way to make "smart" (typographers) quotes. Anyone know how?

You use the keyboard modifiers thusly:
Open Double-quote: Option + Left Bracket ( [ )
Close Double-quote: Option + Shift + Left Bracket ( [ )
Check out the smart quotes, in the third line in the screenshot.

So I bought a video on iTunes, how do I make it compatible with iMovie so I can edit it and make my own video? If I can't do this, then how do those people on YouTube make videos with clips from TV shows and Movies?

How to Turn off Smart Quotes

I am unable to turn off “smart quotes” (for the purpose of entering computer code). I have unchecked the box in System Preferences > Language > Keyboard, and in Safari and Mail under the Edit Menu > Substitutions (also in Word and TextEdit), but the smart or ”curly quotes“ continue to appear in each application. Is there any way to fix this in Mavericks? I am running OS X 10.9.3

TL;DR: AFAIK, nobody tries to use Microsoft Word for programming in Python, or programming in general, and TextEdit is dicy here at best.

That's my problem: no matter how I set the preferences in the applications, the smart quotes won't go away.
There is clearly an issue with smart quotes in your configuration. The global smart quotes setting is not being honored, nor is any local setting that might exist.
Which particular application are you using to edit your Python code when this problem arises?
(As with programming in general, details matter here.)
Did the tools you are using also get restarted after the global settings were changed?
Why ask this stuff? This information will allow folks to see if there's something else going on within that particular application, and it's also because there are text tools around that just won't create text files that the Python interpreter can process — whatever you're using here is probably closer to creating a plain-text file than some, as you're noticing the smart quotes here, though. Of what you've mentioned so far, Microsoft Word is not known for its ability to create ASCII or UTF-8 text files, and TextEdit is dicy here at best as that tool is quite fond of using RTF formats.
But if it's Word or TextEdit you're using? That won't work at all well.   TextWrangler (free) is a common choice for folks that prefer a GUI editor, or MacVim (free) or whatever emacs is current (also free) or other such if you'd prefer a more advanced editor. (Note: vim and emacs are much more cryptic, and much more powerful editors.) Or use the included nano editor (has an on-screen list of commands), or the integrated vim or emacs editors at the command line.   There are also Python IDE packages around, as well. (Xcode doesn't support Python, though there are reports of some success with it.) These tools all work, and these tools all produce the sorts of sequential text files that the compilers and interpreters can process.   In some cases, these tools also provide syntax highlighting and other features, which can be very useful when coding, too.

How can we make smart objects smarter?

Smart objects are great and can be a really useful time saver. That said, i'm having a problem and I'm hoping that there is a solution out there. I'll preface this with the statement that, I may not be using smart objects as they were intended, but I feel like this is how they should work:
A basic example - say you have a "Login" button.
It would be great/obvious to have that as a smart object. It would be greater still to have the on, off, rollover, clicked states to be within that smart object.
Now, if you place that smart object as a linked object into a document, there is no way to say "in this instance, I want to show the off state of the button". If you open the smart object and change the state to that and save - then it will update all instances everywhere in all PSDs where it exists and all of your buttons are now in an off state.
Now, clearly, in this example, the easy answer is just make 4 smart objects. Easy peasy.
The problem with that is two fold:
1. if "Login" changes to "Logon" I need to make that change in 4 places instead of just one.
2. The button example is simple, but what if my smart object is more complicated than that? What if there a complex set of layers that make up that object? Making changes to multiple complex layer files kind of defeats the purpose of having smart objects no?
You can embed the object and thus break the external link and change things to your heart's content without effecting other instances - but then what really is the value of creating the smart object then? You might as well just have a layer group that you drag from PSD to PSD.
The way smart objects should work, IMHO, is that you should be able to toggle layers on and off per instance of the object, BUT any pixel modifications to a layer within, bubble up to all instances that are displaying that layer (say - a colour change, or text change, etc).
Thoughts?

How do I make my keynote or iMovie slide show (with music) into a DVD, without iDVD as I don't have it and you can no longer purchase from Apple.

I am new to Apple, since Oct '11. ( iDVD did not come with this laptop). I am making a slide show in keynote and can't download to iDVD to make it into a DVD that I can play on any home player. As far as I know, I need to make it into a quicktime file, then find some 3rd party software to convert to DVD. Has anyone had any luck with this. I think I may just purchase an old copy of iLife from Amazon...

How do you make smart mailbox sorting options persistent?

I have a smart mailbox that I would like to sort based on flags, and I would like for this selection to persist from session to session. I thought I remembered this working in Lion, but for some reason it's not working for me in Mountain Lion:
In the smart mailbox I can select "sort by flags," and this sorting option will persist next time I start mail -- but only if I have selected the smart mailbox when I close mail. If I have one of the other mailboxes opened when I close mail (say the Inbox), then the sorting of my smart mailbox defaults back to "sort by date."
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

You only have to right click on this folder and edit the smart folders rules.
Edit: Nevermind, you mean sorting with this pop-up menu. I didn't read exactly what you mean. For this I don't know what to do.

Hi
And You've done the common steps when in trouble ?
• Trash iMovie pref file etc.
Se my not all up-dated list.
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Delete iMovie pref file
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
• Disconnect all external hard disks and try - FireWire, USB/2, AirPort or Net-work connected.
To work OK I prefere FireWire AND it must be Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - WILL NOT DO for video - neither for iMovie or FinalCut or iDVD any version ! This also includes any USB-memory sticks.
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
• Turn off Mac and disconnect Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes - will at least re-set FW-port
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09 or 11)
• Problems in iPhoto Library can affect iMovie to crash on start-up. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• iMovie updated ?
• QuickTime updated ?
• Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 4 - will not work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.1.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’09 v. 8.0.6, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpful insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

How do I disable smart quotes, apostrophes in Mac Outlook 2011?

In Mac Outlook 2011, when I type a message that contains an apostrophe or a quotation mark, Outlook corrects it to a "smart" apostrophe or a "smart" quotation mark, and I'd rather it didn't.
Is there any way to disable this feature? So far, I've unchecked all the autocorrect and autoformat preferences, and I've set my composition settings to plain text and my encoding settings to UTF-8 (two suggestions I saw elsewhere). None of those worked.
What else should I try?

Smart Quotes

Hi,
How do you create smart quotes in Photoshop? (Opening and close quotes)
Thanks!

It's in the application preferences under type. Just check the Smart Quotes box, and all your quotes will come out right.

Convert smart quotes

How can I replace smart quotes that have been entered into a form where the user has pasted from an MSWord document? I want to replace the smart quote with a simple apostrophe. I understand that the smart quote for a single quotation is represented by the following in Flex: â€™
Thank you!

If you use regular expressions, you could do it in a single line and much faster:
In the following example, only the first instance of "sh" (case-sensitive) is replaced:
var myPattern:RegExp = /sh/;
var str:String = "She sells seashells by the seashore.";
trace(str.replace(myPattern, "sch"));
// She sells seaschells by the seashore.
In the following example, all instances of "sh" (case-sensitive) are replaced because the g (global) flag is set in the regular expression:
var myPattern:RegExp = /sh/g;
var str:String = "She sells seashells by the seashore.";
trace(str.replace(myPattern, "sch"));
// She sells seaschells by the seaschore.

Turning off Smart quotes?

Does anyone know how to turn off smart quotes in RHX5? I've
posted other questions related to the issue I'm having currently
with double quotes and the copyright sign showing up as ? in the
help files once they been included in a build. No one in my company
seems to know the right solution, so now I'm seeing if I can just
turn off the smart quotes.

Czech smart quotes

I was wondering how to set Czech smart quotes in Pages 09. I have set Language in System Preferences->International to Czech, but I get US smart quotes anyway, even though the rest of language specific formatting (p.e. date) is in Czech.
I have tried to set language to German and it works fine, you get German smart quotes. But setting it to Czech, you do not!
Can that actually be a coding bug, because the locale for Czech is badly programmed? Or is it possible to set it in a different way?

_At this time, the quotes aren't ruled by the operating system but by the application._
The plist used is the one linked to the localized version of iWork which is used.
As there is no Czech iWork version, we must rely on a surgery applied to the used localized version.
If the OP uses iWork in English, he must edit the english dedicated file.
If he uses the German version it get the correct quotes automatically.
From my point of view, the real problem with the way this feature is treated is that Apple assumes that the straight chars must be replaced by single chars which is perfectly wrong.
The author of the FREE program entitled Bean wa able to offer a better support of this feature.
Bean gives us the abilty to deplace the straight double quotes by the pairs
LEFT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK + NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE
and
NARROW NO-BREAK SPACE + RIGHT-POINTING DOUBLE ANGLE QUOTATION MARK
required by French of France.
At this time, it seems that Apple developers aren't so cute
