Why are iMovie events (2400 of them) shown in the iDVD movies pane along with my iMovie projects (12 of them)?

Sorry about the delay in responding, I've been putting up with a very slow iDVD, but now I'm fed up with it again. My version of iDVD is 7.1.2 (1158) running in Mac OS X, version 10.6.8, with 3.2GHz and i3 processor, 4GB of memory, on a desktop iMac. My version of iMovie'11 is 9.0.4 (1634).
I can stop iDVD from showing iMovie EVENTS (now 3247 of them) in its Media pane under Movies, by moving the iMovie Events folder from the iMovie folder ( that iDVD ALWAYS looks in) to somewhere else in that Directory (where I store all my data, and which I have named "browning"). But then iMovie can't display the EVENTS, because it is looking in the wrong place. So, how can I save iMovie Events in another folder (not iMovies) but somewhere where iMovie will find them?
Is there a method to change the default folders for iMovie and/or iDVD? How does iMovie know where the iMovie default directory is?
Should I put iMovie into the "Main" Mackintosh HD directory?
The Apple Store in Bath, UK, couldn't help, but surely I'm not the only iDVD user who is annoyed with this process?
HELP, please

Are you sure .mov files worked on the iPhone without a third part player? I'm just not sure...
Try these instructions from Apple:
Convert a video to work with iPhone: Select the video in your iTunes library and choose Advanced > “Create iPod or iPhone Version.” Then add the converted video to iPhone.

Why are all of our devises running off of the same apple I.d .They all have their own account.

I don't know why three of our devices are running off of the same apple I.d.All three of the devices have there own ids but they are going under the same.Why???

Because that's the way you set them up. It doesn't happen by itself.
Odds are you plugged them all into the same computer logged in with the same account, with the same iTunes library, and restored them all from the same backup.
Don't do that.

HT201365 Why are only 3 of my devices appearing on the map when all of the devices were showing up 2 weeks ago.

Why are only 3 of my devices appearing on the map when all of the devices were showing up 2 weeks ago.

I probably "over-read" the Apple website hype about the advantages of creating a single personal Apple I.D. which would apply to practically all things Apple. To quote: "An Apple ID lets you personalize your Apple experience. Once you've created an Apple ID, you'll use it to access Apple resources where it's helpful to identify yourself. From Apple Discussions to iTunes to the Apple Online Store and everything in between, Apple ID is your passport to the extended Apple experience."
Hence, I created an "Apple ID," following the example "[email protected]" (Who wants to miss out on a "passport to the extended Apple experience.") However, I already had an ID (though it was not my Apple address), and apparently was already the benefactor of the benefits of the so-called "personal Apple ID." Consequently, I now have two different iTunes IDs and two different passwords. Apple has responded to my requests to have a single ID by saying that my request is for the impossible. I simply have to remember both IDs and both passwords, entering both when attempting to use different computers and devices while downloading and taking inventory of my iTunes files.
So I'm pretty sure I've followed your suggestions already with respect to all 3 "eligible" devices, but I'll certainly give it another go-round. From what you say, it appears that being "associated" with the cloud should not limit me only to an iPod Touch 4th generation.

How do I change the image selected for the finalized movies pane in all events?

How do I change the image selected for the finalized movies pane in all events? I made a movie some time ago in iMovie, and a still from this now appears as the image for Finalized Movies in the All Events pane (as well as showing up if I then click on this pane to take me to Finalized Movies). Anyone know how to change or delete this image, please?

Unfortunately, the suggested solution in that thread does not work and the thread appears to be closed to replies. That is, even though I am logged in the Reply|Quote|Mark as answer|Report as abuse items are missing.
The suggested solution is:
First, I found I had "img100.png" in C:\Windows\Web\Screen and
C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-themeui-client_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16384_none_69ee3fa2269e545e
1. Belonging to the Administrators Group, I replaced file Owner TrustedInstaller with my Username on both "img100.png" files
2. After resizing the image I wanted to see on the Login screen to the resolution of "img100.png" file,
I copied and pasted it to both "img100.png" files keeping this way the format (extension) and resolution of the original "img100.png" file,
which I permanently deleted.
However, I have not been able to replace the img100.pgn in C:\Windows\Web\Screen even after taking ownership of it and setting the permissions for my userid to All. I edit it with mspaint and then try to save it. The save starts that then says the
save was interrupted.
The appears to be some additional protection besides the standard acls.

I belive I have fixed the video clip pan updating problom in iMovie hd.

I belive I have fixed the video clip pan updating problom in iMovie hd. I have been using my VCR with my Director's Cut 2 video converter with my iMac G5. To convert my VHS home movies to DVD. The problom I had been having is when I captuerd the video to my Mac is when I go back to play it back. I would click on a video clip and it would tell me it had to update the file and then I could play the clip. That drove me nuts. So first I went to the Apple store and I got the new iLife 6. So then I come home and update everything with it. Then I test it again same thing happens to me. Well to say the lest I was lived mad. Till I thought of something let me try one more thing. So I went for brocke. I hooked up my mindv camcorder and my VCR though the pass though A/V pass though conector and then I hook the cam up to my Mac. So I go to record bingo. I hit the clip and it did not have to update then I made more and more and bingo I think I fixed it nock on wood. But I also ordered a Canopus 110 video converter to see if. I can get it to work were I do not have to use my mindv cam to do the convertion all the time and ware it out. Some how my DC2 was making the video clip it took into a difrent formate some how go figuer.

You might hit it lucky as there's a free conversion program called MPEG Streamclip <This Link is a direct download>. You can download it and drag one of your clips into the App Window then Export it to .mov (In the window that pops up there's a pulldown list and you should Choose Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).
Do you know what format the videos are in? Do they have a 3 letter file extension like .mpg, or .mts or .m2ts or anything like that?

Why are only my iCloud songs being shown on iTunes

I went onto my iTunes today to find out that in my library I only had 25 songs. All which said they needed to be downloaded from iCloud (I believe, as I couldn't play them without pressing the download button). I had over 750 songs on my iTunes.
Why has this happened? I have lost so much music. Am I somehow in the wrong library or something?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

AVG is the most likely culprit. They have promised a patch, but you'll still need to repair your library yourself.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Whatever AV you use I would recommend excluding the iTunes folder from any real time AV scanning process, however it would seem that AVG isn't currently obeying such exceptions.

Why are my exported .wmv videos sometimes distorted during the first few seconds?

I am creating 15 second looping motion backgrounds using After Effects CS5 and exporting using Media Encoder. WMV is the only format that is compatible with the programme my clients are using to play them - this is mainly a niche market being churches using EasyWorship, which utilises Windows Media Player to play all videos from, but doesn't support any other codec that WMV.
I am using ccParticle world to produce the particles, using both the default particles (i.e. shaded sphere etc.) and my own either brought in from Photoshop or basic shapes created on After Effects.
I am using fractal noise to give the background layers more depth and texture.
I have made all my looping backgrounds so far using all the features above, making both a HD version and an SD version in After Effects. Some of the backgrounds have exported fine in both formats, whereas a lot, both SD and HD versions have distortion/pixelation at the start lasting for a few seconds.
1080p version export
WIndows media video, 720p - changed the frame rate from 24fps to 25.
SD version export
Windows media video, PAL to high quality version
It is a bit hit and miss whether the backgrounds have this distortion at the start or not... apart from the arrangement and properties of the particles and colour themes everything is the same for all my backgrounds and I am using the same exporting properties every time.
Once again I am probably missing something...
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Thanks for your reply. I am using a standard preset for the SD export. For the HD I am selecting a standard preset but changing the frame rate. I am not altering the bitrate or any other settings (apart from un-ticking the 'export audio' box). With both I get the pixelation.
H.264 is fine. So I have even tried converting the H.264 file into .WMV just to see if it makes a difference but it still has the pixelation.
For some of my other similar videos I have used exactly the same presets and altered the frame rate on the HD version and had no problem.
I just don't understand why some videos are affected and not others.
I really need a glitch free HD and an SD .WMV version of the same video that my customers can purchase along with the EasyWorship software mentioned above.

Why are images distorted when burning a slide show to iDVD from iPhoto?

I have created a slide show in iPhoto and wanted to burn a DVD. Some of the images are scans from old family pictures.
The images present in the proper aspect ratio within iPhoto, but when I burn the CD in iDVD, some of the images are either compressed in from the sides or widened unacceptably. Anyone know why the images are being distorted?

I gave the iphoto slide show a show and although I couldn't access the options in the idvd dialog box, I liked the end results better. I included 225 pics, and the random transition's option from iphoto enhances the outcome. The random transition option is not available in idvd.

Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

Why are my bookmarks not being saved locally on my ipad mini if the save to cloud feature is disabled?

They should be. If you have lost bookmarks try restarting Safari:
1. Press the Home button
2. Double click the Home button to bring up the "Recent Apps" tray.
3. Touch and hold on the Safari icon in the "Recent Apps" tray until a "-" appears.
4. Touch the "-" to terminate Safari.
5. Restart Safari and see if your Bookmarks are back.

Why are my mobileme galleries not showing up in the mobileme widget?

I've got this to work in the past. A few weeks back I deleted and/or changed most of my mobileme galleries. They are there, work fine, ect but in iWeb I cannot get them to show in the drop down menu for the widget!
Is this due to any ilife '11 upgrades or such?
Also...is there functionality to add screenshots to post here? I'm not seeing it!

Try the following:
1 - go to the System/MobileMe preference pane and log out of MMe.
2 - login with a bogus username and password like "test" and "test". This clears the caches.
3 - login with your correct username and password.
4 - launch iWeb and try again.
It happens every so often. More a server issue than an iWeb one.

Why are some websites squished to one column on the left?

All of a sudden some websites are all squished in one column on the left side of the iPad and are unreadable or unusable. This hasn't always been the case. I'm using safari. I've rebooted the iPad, I have the latest os system. Two examples are:
Www.unifiedpatriots.com
Www.vassarbushmills.com
I have my own website and it's been fine.
Www.conservative-outlooks.com
And the larger websites are fine as well. I'm really stymied.

Bad web design, or a proplem with the linked CSS files, would be my guess. Report it to the webmasters for those sites.
At least on one of them, you can pinch out to properly see the site.

Why are my tabs so huge and where did the google search bar go?

I know this isn't a big deal but I'm just not used to any of this. I like my search bar in the top left corner and I like my tabs all equally sized. Can someone please tell me what is going on? Can I fix this?

welcome to Safari version 6.
Type google searches in the same place you type URLs and it will figure them out.
The tab size is well, awful, but that's the size they are for now.

Why are there 2 thin red vertical lines on the screen of my MBP 15" retina which is only 2 months old!

I would just like to understand why there a two thin red vertical lines on the screen
I suspect I need to bring into an apple store for diagnostics but is anyone aware of the likely cause?
thanks v much!

It could be a GPU issue, a display issue or a display connection issue. The genius bar technician will offer you a definitive answer and should fix it under the warranty provisions.
Ciao.
