All dock icons for iLife '11 (iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, iDVD, GB) are lo-res

I just installed iLife '11, and the first problem I noticed was that all the hi-res icons that are normally in the Dock are displaying their lo-res counterparts. This does not bode well for the iLife '11 package in general, since 2 seconds after installing the suite I notice a glaring problem. I guess Apple felt the need to rush iLife '11 out the door, ignoring even the basic quality control checks.
Very disappointing.

I fixed my problem by rebuilding the Launch Services database and restarting Finder. I also had to delete the lo-res icons from the dock and grab new ones from the Applications folder.

  • IPhoto, iMovie, or iDVD which is best for creating a slideshow?

    I'm working on a project that's half slideshow, half video. The slideshow portion will incorporate music and the Ken Burns effect. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I can actually use iPhoto, iMovie, or iDVD to do this, right? If so, what makes the most sense from a process standpoint? flexibility standpoint?
    I ask because I've experimented and it seems like creating slideshows is significantly easier in iPhoto than in iMovie, but wanted to know people's thoughts.
    Thanks!

    Hi Terrabay:
    I have side-stepped your question most of the day and now I see everyone else has too!
    So, I feel someone needs to step up and give you some answers...but-just remember-I am an iMovie junkie, so you are not going to hear kudos to iPhoto from me! LOL!
    I honestly do not know if your slideshow will look better with iMovie (all that DV you know...) but since you said that you are adding video- well....
    Go with iMovie-hey-no pain-no gain!
    Seriously, iPhoto was made for photos and imovie for DV. You be the judge, but I think if you tinker with the iMovie options ( audio, transitions,titles, etc) you will see that iMovie is the way to make you memories live forever!
    Whew! That is almost creepy....

  • HT5858 I just updated to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4s and now all the Icons for Apps I had downloaded no longer appear on my home screen all the other Icons are there just the Apps I downloaded since I got the phone are missing.

    I just updated my iPhone 4s to IOS 7 and now all my icons for apps I had previously downloaded B4 the upgrade dont show on my home screen,does anyone know what happen and how I can get the icons back on my screen??

    Apps are in iTunes, are not part of the backup and when you updated the phone, you need to sync that content back.

  • Iphoto, imovie and iDVD gone after reinstall

    I just reinstalled Tiger on my Flatscreen iMac.
    Iphoto, iMovie and iDVD are no longer there.
    What can I do to get them back?

    How old is your Mac and is it used?
    If your Mac is fairly old and the 10.2 disk that came with the computer was your original System Restore disk, then Tiger must have been purchased separately and Software Update was used later to upgrade to 10.4.10. But the Tiger upgrade would not have included any iApp's. Buying iLife '05 or iLife '06 would be needed to give you all the iLife App's. If you bought or received your Mac used, then someone did not include the Tiger and iLife software packages with it. If this is the case, the only way to recover your programs is to buy iLife.
    If your Mac is fairly new, then your System Restore disks should contain Tiger 10.4.? and include all the iLife '06 App's. Again, if you bought or received your Mac used, then you may be missing the original System Restore disks that came with it. If this is the case, the only way to recover your programs is to buy iLife.
    Either way, If you do not have a system backup, then the only way to recover your missing App's is to buy iLife. Also, if you want to risk losing Tiger 10.4, do not attempt to run the installation program from the Jaguar 10.2 disk.

  • IPhoto, iMovie or iDVD

    Trying to make slide show of daughter's wedding. Would like to be able to have a couple of movies also on it w/ a sound track from iTunes in the background. Ken Burns effect might be a nice touch. - Suggestions of which program would be best to use? Or a combination? Would like to be able to save to a DVD to be played on DVD player for TV use. As you can tell - a really extreme rookie here. Thanks for any insights.
    ~bruce.

    There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
    If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
    Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
    http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
    (Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
    Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
    Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie 6 as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
    You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
    To simply create a slide show in iDVD 8 from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

  • The other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and now none of the icons for the different websites I normally go to are there?

    As I said, the other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and after doing so none of the icons for the different websites that normally go to are no longer there. Websites such as MSNBC, MSN, Most visited, that entire strip is no longer visible. I tired resetting Firefox and still nothing. Can anyone tell me how to get them to appear again? It's a hassle every time that I want to go to one of those sites I have to type it in the search bar, instead of just clicking on it as I did before. Please keep in mind if you answer, that I'm still learning about these things called computers and not very well versed in some of the things that you experts know:) Thanks

    On Windows XP Firefox shows the menu bar by default and not the orange Firefox menu button that is shown when the menu bar is hidden.<br />
    The menu bar is the toolbar at the top that shows menu items like File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help.<br />
    You can press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily in case this bar is hidden (View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options).
    The Navigation Toolbar shows the Back and forward button and the input field where you type the address of a site that you want to visit (aka location bar) and also has a search bar where you can type items that you want to look up with a search engine (Google).

  • Pictures are blurry when slideshow is burned to dvd using iPhoto, iMovie and iDvd. How do I correct?

    I used iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD... How do I create a slideshow burned to a DVD without getting blurry images when slideshow is played through DVD a player?

    You created the slideshow using the built-in Ken Burns effect in iPhoto or iMovie? I've never found that to be up to my expectations; additionally, if the people or objects in the pictures have certain designs (in their clothes), using movement can blur them. I use Photo to Movie myself - to me it creates the smoothest movement in slideshows. Another possibility is the size of your images: did you increase or decrease their original size? And when you encoded it, what settings did you use? I use the Share > Quicktime > Expert settings and then choose these options:
    I've found that these settings result in the most lossless conversion. After the new .mov file is saved to the desktop, I then add it to iDVD after creating a customized menu and theme.

    Could it be that the messages from your second account are being processed by other rules?

  • No dock icon for app made with Automator

    No section on here for Automator?
    I've made an app with Automator. It runs OK and has the same icon as Automator when saved to the Applications folder but when I run it, no icon appears in the dock. Is that normal or have I missed something? There's a rotating cog in the menu bar to show that the app is running (so I can stop it from there) and I can see its actions taking place but I was expecting a dock icon like all other apps.

    baltwo - I'd already left it on the dock but there's no "indicator light" to show it's running and no "quit" on the dock menu. It's no problem it's just not standard app behaviour.
    Interesting, since AppleScript apps do show the indicator light.

  • Best practices for managing Movies (iPhoto, iMovie) to IPhone

    I am looking for some basic recommendations best practices on managing the syncing of movies to my iPhone. Most of my movies either come from a digital camcorder into iMovie or from a digital Camera into iPhone.
    Issues:
    1. If I do an export or a share from iPhoto, iMovie, or QuickTime, what formats should I select. I've seem 3gp, mv4.
    2. When I add a movie to iTunes, where is it stored. I've seen some folder locations like iMovie Sharing/iTunes. Can I copy them directly there or should I always add to library in iTunes?
    3. If I want to get a DVD I own into a format for the iPhone, how might I do that?
    Any other recommedations on best practices are welcome.
    Thanks

    1. If you type "iphone" or "ipod" into the help feature in imovie it will tell you how.
    "If you want to download and view one of your iMovie projects to your iPod or iPhone, you first need to send it to iTunes. When you send your project to iTunes, iMovie allows you to create one or more movies of different sizes, depending on the size of the original media that’s in your project. The medium-sized movie is best for viewing on your iPod or iPhone."
    2. Mine appear under "movies" which is where imovie put them automatically.
    3. If you mean movies purchased on DVD, then copying them is illegal and cannot be discussed here.

  • How can I dock icons for every opened windows?

    Hello all,
    First time poster here and first time owner of Mac.  I want to know how I can get all opened windows to show as icons on the dock.  On a Windows OS, any opened window will have an icon on the Taskbar.  Does a Mac OS have the same feature?  And no, I don't want to use the old Expose.  I want to be able to get to an opened window that is hidden behind another window by just one click, instead of moving windows around (so that I can get my intended window to be where I can click on it), or instead of using Expose.
    One way to get the opened windows to appear on the dock is to miminize it.  I find that to be burdensome, especially if you're openeing a lot of windows quickly.  I want to be able to switch between opened windows in just one click.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    You need to either control-click on the application's Dock icon and then regularly click on the item representing that window, or to click and hold the application's icon until the menu appears, and then releasing the button when the cursor is over the menu item.

  • Iphoto, imovie, iweb missing after mountain lion upgrade...

    I have a mid 2010 iMac that I have kept up to date and recently upgraded to Mountian Lion.  Everything has been fine except that I noticed that iLife was missing right after the update...  And I didn't purchase it in the app store because it came with my iMac.  In fact, the iMac came with Snow Leopard on it I think. But I haven't the slightest idea where that disk is because we lost a few things that I haven't located yet in our move last year.  I have another copy of Snow Leopard that I goes to my 2009 MacBook that I already had.  It seems quite frustrating that the programs just disappeared and they've never done that before on any other upgrade!  I have no need to purchase and upgrade to iLife 11 as I only use iPhoto and iMovie for iPhone photos/video because I have everything else in LightRoom already.  But I would like iPhoto/iMovie back!  How do I go about doing this?  Can i use my backup to get it back somehow?  Just confused on how to tget it back and my searches yielded very little...  Thanks!

    sorry...  i meant '09 version...  I just knew it wasn't '11 (assumed '09) because I haven't upgraded to the '11 versions.  I said iLife because I lost all 3-iphoto, iweb and imovie.  Well, I see that iweb isn't a part of '11 and is going away and i am just now seeing that.  And noticing that I lost GarageBand in addition (i just don't use it to notice it was also missing after the upgrade). 
    And again, they all came installed on my computer, not from me purchasing it via app store.  Technically I guess it wasn't a part of the OS, I just meant that it came with the imac and was part of my imac purchase.  I only remember having an install disk (not a seperate ilife disk) that came with my imac but i am unable to find any of it because of a move (and haven't located the disks that came with the 2010 iMac).  Again, I have the snow leopard os upgrade disk that I purchased (prior to buying my imac in 2010) that I bought to upgrade my 2009 MacBook Pro.  But again, it isn't the SL install disk that came with the 2010 iMac (which is the computer we are discussing here)  However, my 2009 MacBookPro was upgraded to ML right after I upgraded the iMac on the same exact dayand I DID NOT lose iphoto, iweb, imovie and garageband on that MacBook Pro.  And it was the 09' also because I had not upgraded either computer to '11 version.  So, the programs went missing on the imac upgrade only, and not the macbook-so there has to be a reason why...  I did not mean that iLife came with an OS Upgrade -only that it came with all purchased apple computers. sorry! 
    Sberman-I will try to load the iphoto link that you gave above and see if it restores the iphoto and my catalog, etc. Someone I know suggested that it's all still there - but i am just missing the iphoto programs (and other programs) for some reason and all should be restored once it's reloaded.
