IDVD 08 - problem with scene selection tabs not working after "burn"

I have a movie that is about an hour long (made in iMovie08 using mostly still photos). I wanted to have "chapters" -- but with that option gone, I used the Scene Selection option in iDVD08. This created menus with 15 scene selection buttons (I chose every 4 minutes). The menus were automatically created by iDVD and I did nothing to change them, except to type in scene info (two-three words).
The buttons all worked fine on the computer, and I burned a DVD. The DVD worked great in my VCR player. I'd select Play Movie and it would go. I'd select Scene Selection and I'd get the menus for that. But when I'd highlight one of the scene selections and "enter" (select) -- it wouldn't go to that scene. I could go back and forth between menus, and could move around and highlight the scene buttons, but selecting would not start the scene to play. The movie played fine from start to finish, and the other remote features worked (stop, pause, menu, etc.).
I went back to iDVD and chose a different theme (thinking maybe I'd inadvertently done something to mess things up. The only thing I did differently in addition to the new theme, was to add two small movie clips - and I rearranged the buttons on the menu (dragging) to get them positioned where I wanted them. So my first menu says "Play Movie". The second menu has: Play Movie, Scene Selections, Little Movie 1, Little Movie 2. Everything worked greated in iDVD. Then I created a disk image to view using DVD Player (rather than waste another DVD). Same problem -- only worse. This time I couldn't even highlight Scene Selection to get to the scenes' menus.
Any thoughts on why I'm not able to get the "Scene Selection" buttons to work after a burn? Am I missing a step somewhere in iDVD?
Thanks.

I am not sure, but does your post concerning the problem, that all Remote Control function will work properly within iDVD'08 but after burning the DVD absolutely not with the RC of your set top DVD player connected to your TV?
If this is it:
Meanwhile I could figure out - after many nights of not been very productive and only working out on all the iDVD'08 problems - that **ALL** of the *7.0 Themes* have a major problem in generally.
The following points are concerning iDVD'08 using any of the 7.0 Themes:
- Complete deep freeze of your Mac under Leopard when rendering/coding/burning a movie which has chapters and you use movies instead of still images in drop zones. (LeopardiDVD087.0Themes)
- Functions on remote control of your set top DVD player are not working correctly when making a movie with chapters. This is generally on Tiger and Leopard the same problem using iDVD08 with any of the 7.0 Themes.
Quick and dirty workaround:
You may avoid this if you simply use a 6.0 Theme or lower version of the Themes.
But this is of course not the clue...
It is VERY DISAPPOINTING, having software at such a low quality level deliverd by Apple. And somehow it looks like they DO NOTHING against it. No statement, no excuse, they really remain silent.

It's more likely the OP's router. I have a wifi only iPad 2, yet location services work just fine on my iPad. If I open maps, my location is found quite nicely. I have seen that some routers do not provide location services and I suspect the OP has such a router.

How are you accessing Hotmail? Via your web browser? Are you using Apple Mail? Outlook?
The answer will be different depending on how you want to access Hotmail.
If you are using an email client (like Apple Mail, Outlook, Entourage, etc.)) then you need to set up a mail account in your email software.
The incoming Hotmail settings are these:
Incoming server: pop3.live.com
User name: Your full Hotmail email address (aka "me @ hotmail.com" or "me @ live.com")
Password: Your Hotmail password
POP port: 995
Use SSL to connect : yes
The outgoing Hotmail settings are:
Outgoing server: smtp.live.com
User name: Your full Hotmail email address
Password: Your Hotmail password
SMTP port: 587 (override the default port if necesssary)
Use SSL to connect : yes

Problem with 23 inch, basically not working...need advice

Hi, I have had the 23 inch for a couple of months and one day, it stopped working as usual. For the most part, when you turn the computer on, the monitor will 50 % of the time turn on, 50 % not. If it does turn, as soon as the computer turns the monitor to sleep, it will 10 % of the time turn on, 80 % not turn on again at all until the computer is turned off (and sometimes this does not help and all you can do is try the next day), and 10 % flicker and image of the screen. I have deleted the plist files, created new profiles, tried other macs, reset logic board and video ram with no help. The only way to get the monitor to turn back on (and this does not work all the time) is to unplug the monitor from the power block and plug it back in. You will have to do this several times for it to work, and then the monitor will work fine until either the monitor goes to sleep or the Mac. I have taken the monitor to the Apple store and it turned on for them so they told me to get lost. It looks like this is going to be something I need to figure out first or wait until it never turns on again...which should be soon at the rate it quits. Any advice or no what is wrong so atleast I can tell them at the Apple store (after I make the 400 mile trip there)? I originally thought it was the power supply but after trying another one at the store, mine worked too. Its not the power mac because I tried it on my powerbook and it doesnt work either. By the way, this all started once I plugged it into my powerbook for the first time. Its getting irritating trying to turn it back on when I am doing work... Please help!

Probably, the dropping caused a serious problem on the hard drive of your iPod. See doing the following helps ..
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

When is Apple going to fix the problem with external hard drive not working on Lion?

As for everyone else external hard drive does not work with Lion.
When will Apple fix this problem. Do they just ignore the customer : (

Copy off all your data off the NTFS formatted drive to another drive
Open Disk Utility in the Applications>Utilities folder
Select your external NTFS drive on the far left, should have the drive makers name, a ID perhaps plus the word "media"
Click the Partition Tab, click the big box and click 1 Partition
If you want a Mac only drive > Option: GUID >format OS X Extended (Journaled)
If you want a Mac/PC drive (for over 4GB sized files) > Option: MBR > format exFAT
If you want a Mac/PC drive (for the most compatibility with other devices, Win XP, but only under 4GB sized files) > Option: MBR > format MSDOS (FAT or FAT32)
Give it a name and click Apply.
You can also search Microsoft for a free exFAT download if you have Win XP.

Problems with lost bookmarks, keypad not working, apps shutting down

Out of the blue, while I was still using Safari, all my bookmarks disappeared. No matter how many times I tried to add a bookmark it doesn't show up on my Bookmarks tab. I've tried adding a new folder on my bookmarks tab but it doesn't work either. I don't know what's going on. I've already reset my iPhone once because there were so many problems after I downloaded iOS4.
Also, I don't recall seeing "History" under the Bookmark tab but now it's there. The History option (along with the websites, etc.) comes and goes. Even after I delete everything from the Settings app, the history still shows up afterwards.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. If I absolutely need to (again), I'll reset my iPhone. I honestly didn't think I was going to have this many problems with iOS4. Everything was perfect before I downloaded the new operating system. I'm also experiencing other problems with iOS4 such as the keypad not working during a phone call and apps shutting down multiple times. Again, any help or suggestions would be great.

it just sorta started working again

I have big problem with battery, It's not working good just two hours and stop without any warning when the battery in 50% then reach 30% in the same moment, then the iphone stopped,what I can do for that and I live in Egypt???any help

My Iphone 4 is very good until last Thursday, I used it from sep 2011 without any problems, My problem is the battery is down without any warning and working after 100% then 82% then 50% then 30% and down these things throw less than two hours
what can I do with that??
Also, I live in Cairo,Egypt
waiting your recommendations

Hi,
"But it didn't work it's just turning them to black gray scale colors not what i was thinking about."
If you want it to be colored, you'll need to create a color-palette for the 8bppIndexed bitmaps. The keyword for this process is "Color-Quantization".
The whole yellow-green pie you get is from the wrong format. If you convert the 32bpp bitmaps to 24 bpp bitmaps, you loose the alpha channel ("transparency"). You can manually set one color to "transparent" with the mMakeTransparent-method
of the Bitmap class, or simply use gif-images (they are 8bpp with a transparent "key"-color)

Thorsten

Problem with various programs freezing/not working

I'm not sure if it's a problem with the computer itself or with the software, but perhaps someone on here can help me.
For about a week now I've been having problems with various programs on my iMac. These programs include iTunes, Force Quit, Shut Down, Safari, Finder, and certain functions on the keyboard.
The problems I've been having revolve around the programs freezing up when you either first try to operate them or after opening the programs and trying to click on things within the program itself.
A good example: I haven't been able to use iTunes past the point of opening it up. Once I try to play a song, it freezes up and the rainbow wheel comes up and just keeps on spinning for eternity, or until I manually reboot the computer via the power button.
The volume controls on the keyboard don't work at all. When I first boot up the computer, I can press a volume button and the symbol will appear on the screen, but the level won't move up or down and if you press it again after that disappears then it doesn't reappear.
Force Quit and other applications tend to stay on the screen after you click the quit button or other end/cancel button and won't go away until iMac is rebooted manually by button on back.
Safari gets stuck on occasion depending on which site I go to. It happened once when I went to MySpace.com, but only cos of one of the flash sites they were advertising. I went to the same site an hour later and it was fine since it was advertising something else. I have a job site I can't access because when I click on the 'jobs' link to look for a job, it gets 3/4 of the way through the upload and freezes.
And right now I can't tell you which model I have since I can't access the 'About This Mac' info, other than to tell you it's the 20" with 320 GB with Leopard software, Mac OS X v10.5. It gets regular updates.
So... if there's anyone who could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Please note, I don't have Apple Care since I can't afford it yet, and I just bought my computer in October 2007. Thanks!

Is anyone else having problems with the overdrive app not working right after new apple update

I am having problems with the overdrive app. I am only allowed to read about twenty pages of a book and then it tries to load more pages but does not. I have reinstalled the app but have the same problem. Any ideas.

Have to talked to the developer? Gone to their site? Do they have an update out for the newer OS?

Lead Selection does not work after setting filter for ALV.

Hi, Can you please suggest on below scenario :
I have a Node with a sub node in it .
I am using the supply function on Sub Node to retrieve the date based on Parent Node.
There are two ALV's to display parent and item data. The issue is when a filter(user defined filter) is done on Parent table, the supply function does not work. The value is that of the selected row before setting the filter. Even after removing the filter, the item data is stuck and does not change on Lead Selection.
One thing I noticed is if the child table is a table UI, there is no issue. The only problem is when the second table is ALV
Thanks In Advance

Hi Prashanthi,
Your issue can be resolved as below
Create an event handler method 'set_alv_data' for the event 'ON_LEAD_SELECT' of parent alv
Write the below code inside the event handler method
METHOD set_alv_data.
DATA lo_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lv_path TYPE string.
DATA lv_index TYPE string.
lv_index = r_param->index.
CONDENSE lv_index.
CONCATENATE wd_this->wdctx_my_parent_node
lv_index
wd_this->wdctx_my_child_node
INTO lv_path SEPARATED BY '.'.
lo_node = wd_context->path_get_node(
      path                          = lv_path
DATA lo_interface TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table.
lo_interface = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv_child( ). "get the ref of alv comp of child
lo_interface->set_data(
    EXPORTING
*    only_if_new_descr =
      r_node_data       = lo_node
ENDMETHOD.
The above code sets the data node of child alv based on lead selection of parent alv data.
Note: Replace 'parent_node', 'child_node' with your nodes & 'alv_child' with your alv component name of child alv.
If you want to control the data of child alv on filter function, you can use the event ON_STD_FUNCTION_AFTE and once you define the filter you get the r_param->id = 'SALV_WD_FILTER_DEFINE' & now you can clear data of child alv.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Rama

IMPORTANT GUIDE FOR ANYONE WITH AN HP DEVICE NOT WORKING AFTER SNOW LEOPARD

To anyone with an HP printer/scanner device,
After being frustrated with my HP Photosmart C4580 not being able to scan for over an hour (scouring the forums, HP's website etc), I've come to realize my problem. Note that this has only been tested on a device that is plugged in DIRECTLY to your mac. I have not tried this over the network and do not plan to since my house is not set up for that.
Anyone who is having any issues with their device, UNINSTALL the HP software. The software is simply incompatible with SL and will mess up your devices! HP even says so on their website (see link below)!
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01846935&cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en &product=1153481
This is easily done by going to your applications folder > Hewlett Packard > HP Uninstaller. After using the uninstaller to uninstall HP's apps from your computer unplug your scanner from your computer and power supply. Now to make sure there are NO printers registered with your computer that could possibly mess up the fresh driver install, go to System Preferences > Print & Fax. Right click anywhere in the left pane (where any printers you have/had installed will be located) and click "Reset Printing System". This will wipe out any traces of a printer so you can start a-new.
Now, restart your computer. After it is restarted, plug your printer into the power source, then when it is fully booted up you may plug it into your USB slot. Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Fax. Click on the "+" (which will give you the interface to add your printer), select your printer (which you should note will say "USB Multifunction" instead of "USB" which is what showed up with the HP software still installed), and click "add". Your mac will do the rest (installing the drivers and such) and you should be able to print & scan as usual.
Note that you will need to scan using Preview, Image Capture, or your Printer Queue due to the changes with Snow Leopard (see the HP link above to learn how to use these). Your device should now properly show up when you use these applications to try and scan now.

@lakewood - there is nothing specifically in Software Update if you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard. For me anyway..seems like thats the case for everyone though.
@ruger - so it won't even let you hit the '+'? For me, I had to hit the '+' to get it to install which in turn automatically downloaded the proper software/drivers for my device. if i were you, i'd see if i could get that to happen and hit '+' to install it. also - make sure you don't have any of the HP software on your computer also (use the uninstaller provided!)..that was really what did the trick for my machine. HP has come out and specifically said to not use the device manager, but that didn't quite do it for me. i had to uninstall everything that came on that CD (its all located in applications > Hewlett-Packard and, like i said, can be uninstalled easily using the provided uninstaller).
if all else fails, what i've also heard helps is just to reinstall snow leopard. that'll make sure everything is fresh. i'd delete all your printers like i outlined in my first post first THEN reinstalling it if you wish to go that route. however, it really does sound like the driver is messed up if its pausing and works fine with time capsule. idk how old the printer is, but sometimes with older models, the support blows. i apologize if none of this helps whatever the reason for your troubles may be, though.
Good luck,
-Mike S
PS: printers are always terrible to upgrade on everyone's end. consumers, operating systems, and manufacturers. it stinks that nothing can be generic and run similarly anymore =/

Custom app working with CRE 8.5, not working after migration to BOE XI

Hello,
I have this custom legacy app coming from way back in time, which -among other things- connects to a CRE 8.5 APS to get the list of available reports and the rights of a given user over those reports (view instances, request on demand, and so on). The logic of this custom application works quite well, though it's a bit cryptic (to me at least).
Now, I have the task of migrating the app from CRE 8.5 to BOE XI R2. The migration itself was rather easy, thanks to the migration wizards, and all the users, groups, permission settings, and everything else seems to have been properly replicated in the BOE XI CMS. However the custom app is not working so well after the migration: it can retrieve all the info about the reports and do pretty much the same it was doing before the migration, but when it comes to user's security settings (permissions to see or request a given report) the app just can't get the proper info.
To properly explain what's going on, I will have to go into detail with some lengthy description of the code.
Here it goes. This is the (partial) code that queries if a given user (UserID) has permission to view and/or request on demand a set of reports in the server:
Qry2 = "Select SI_ID, SI_NAME From CI_INFOOBJECTS"
Qry2 = Qry2 & " Where SI_PROGID = " & "'" & "CrystalEnterprise.Folder" & "'" _
         & "and SI_PARENT_FOLDER in " & GetFirstLevelFolder(iStore, FolderProperty)
Set varFolders = iStore.Query(Qry2)
For Each Item In varFolders   'First level displayed folder
      Set infoSLevelFolders = GetSubfoldersByParentID(iStore, Item.ID) 'Second level displayed folders
      intFolderRightsCount = GetRightsCount(iStore, UserID, Item.ID)
      For Each infoSLevelFolder In infoSLevelFolders
           Set infoReports = GetReportsByFolderID(iStore, infoSLevelFolder.ID)
           For Each infoReport In infoReports
                  rsOutput.AddNew   'Set output recordset fields
                  rsOutput.Fields("FOLDERID") = Item.ID
                  rsOutput.Fields("FOLDERNAME") = Item.Title

                 End If
           Next
     Next
Next
I have two scenarios, for the same user. The first scenario is the custom app working against a CRE 8.5 server. The second scenario is the same app against a BOE XI server, and the data in that server is the result of running the import wizard, using the 8.5 server as the source of data. The app was done with VB6, and the only difference between working against 8.5 or XI, is the set of dll's used in each case (code compiles flawlessly with either set of libraries).
ROD stands for Request On Demand. True means the user can ROD. False, the user can't.
VRI stands for View Report Instance. Same deal.
intFolderRightsCount and intReportRightsCount are both calculated from the GetRightsCount function, like this:
Set iReports = iStore.Query("Select SI_ID From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where SI_ID=" & REPORTID)
u2026
Set principal = iReport.SecurityInfo.AnyPrincipal(UserID)
u2026
GetRightsCount = principal.Rights.Count
(again, same issue with the message... need to continue this in a third -and last I hope- post)

2015 HP Envy 23 Ips monitor with Beats Audio is not working after upgrading to Windows 10

Hi I have upgraded OS to Windows 10 recently. from then there is no sound from my monitor. FYI.. am ussing a Dell laptop to connect to the monitor witha HDMI cable. It was working fine before upgrade and suddenly it stoped working after the OS upgrade.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I have read your post on how your notebook computer's monitor will not produce any sound after upgrading to Windows 10, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! According to the available list of supported drivers for your monitor, there is currently no Windows 10 software published at the moment. In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on HP Products - Where do I find Windows 10 drivers and software for my model? I also suggest connecting the monitor on a different computer to test the hardware functionality of the speakers. I hope this helps! Best Regards
