I made a movie on IMovie and went to burn it to a DVD ...I could not do this so I contacted Apple..they had me download an App and then I could make a DVD...but it will not play on my DVD player...does anyone know how I can solve this problem.. I purchased this to make DVD's and now I can not do that!!

This is a known issue.  It really comes down to two key factors - what type of DVD are you burning to + what type of DVD player you have.
This article will help.  It's lengthy and can be technical in some parts but should shed some light on your problem.

    Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty.  That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

    If there is an item in there drag it out.

    I have the same problem. I'm using Mavericks OS and latest iMovie. Both downloaded last week. I save the movie into File (as directed) and  QuickTime
    will not open. I'm then directed to a page of formats which are supposed to be supported on which is .mp4. Any tips?

  • When I have made a movie in Imovie and I want to transfer it to Theater I get the following comments: Imovie is updating your Theater, You can't add or remove movies right now. Please try again in a moment. I have reinstalled,  Imovie to no avail

    when I have made a movie in Imovie and I want to transfer it to Theater I get the following comments: "Imovie is updating your Theater, You can't add or remove movies right now. Please try again in a moment". I have uninstalled and reinstalled Imovie to no avail, cleaned with "Onyx" etc.

    This simply means it is set to Automatically update and you should not have to do anything with it.
    When you put new music in iTunes , it will automatically go on the iPod next time you connect it.
    This is the default to make it very simple and very easy to use.
    If you want to do it all yourself, iTunes prefs -> iPod.
    Set to Manually manage songs and playlists.
    You have to drag songs to the iPod and delete them from the iPod.

  • I made a movie in  Imovie and want to burn a DVD but don't want the Idvd  selections How did just burn my imovie the wayit is

    How do I get my imovie to be burnt onto dvd without having Idvd's themes?

    In iDVD it's not exactly possible to make a DVD without menu, but there's a few workarounds:
    1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme"by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    On the other hand, you could also place a text saying "The End" in that menu ....
    3. Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just un-check the appropriate check box
    4. The "hard way": postproduction with myDVDedit
    Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

  • I made a movie on iMovie and it says that I need to use iDVD to burn a CD, but I don't have iDVD.

    My grandpa passed away on Tuesday, and I am responsible to make the DVD of pictures for his Funeral, which is (YIKES) tomorrow. I am tryingt to burn a disk with the video, and the "HELP" center told me to use iDVD, which my computer doesn't have... What are my alternate options, or how do I fix this... Thanks!

    Casey, I'm sorry to hear of your grandfather's passing.  I imagine you are pretty busy at the moment and don't need problems like this.  I think "Meg the Dog" is right in that you may be able to simply play the movie direct from your laptop but of course you will need to check with the funeral home if that is possible and check what sort of input and cables they need as you might require an adaptor.
    Alternatively, I understand that newer Macs don't come with iLife, which explains why you don't have iDVD.  It is a great program and perhaps you could buy and download it online (http://www.apple.com/ilife/) to solve your problem.  Be aware that could take some time to download, install and then create your DVD.
    Perhaps at this time with so much pressure, someone with this stuff already setup might be able to help you out.  Maybe even your local Apple Store if you have one nearby.

  • TS3276 Mail is not responding. When I double click the icon spinning colour ball come out and my Mac Book Air hang. Can you solve this Problem?

    Dear Sir/Madame,
    Yesterday my mail worked very well. This morning I could not open the mail. When I double click at mail icon, spinning colour ball appear and my computer hang. I have to force quit the mail. I would appreciate very much if anybody can help me to solve the problem.
    Thanks

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I made a movie in imovie, and somehow I consolidated media and now my movie is saved to my desktop but won't play. HELP!

    I made an imovie. And then when I was trying to save it and burn it to a disk I chose "consolidate media". Now its on a disk and my desktop, but its not showing media or playing. How do I fix this?! Please tell me there is a way to "expand".... Help please!

    iMovie will not "see" a project unless it is in the Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder on the internal drive. It can also be in the iMovie Projects folder at the top level of an external drive.
    You will want to move your RCPROJECT file back to the iMovie Projects folder in the drive it was in when it last worked correctly. Then restart iMovie.
