Background Audio on the main menu

How do you change the volume on the main menu of background audio?

Using Chuck's recommendation, I find that about -6db to -12db is a good starting point. Be aware that different audio editing programs use slightly different db scales and that all VUE meters are not the same. Experiment until you find the "sweet spot" and jot it down someplace. That will be your starting point for other Audio, however only listening will get you exactly what you want and need.

  • Shuffle songs from the main menu includes audio books

    When I choose Shuffle Songs from the main menu - audio books seems to be included in the shuffle list. Is that how it's suppose to be?
    Yes, the audio books are tagged as such and do not appear in the song list when i browse it manually.

    Hello there,
    Not sure if that is the way it supposed to be or just one of those little quirks that hasn't been worked out yet by Apple.
    This may be the case, but you can set these tracks to "skip when shuffling" in iTunes so that the next time you hit Shuffle on your iPod, these tracks will not be played. To do this, locate the songs in iTunes, right->click on them and choose "Get Info" from the shortcut menu. From there head over to the Options tab and make sure there is a tick mark next to "Skip when shuffling." Then hit OK and sync the updated changes to your iPod.
    Sort of a work around for now, but I hope it helps.

    Export the slideshow out of iMovie via the File  ➙  Share ➙ File menu option as a 480p Quicktime movie.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Back button returns to the movie, not the main menu

    I created an iDVD with a main menu of three options: 1) Video, 2) Photo with audio track, and 3) Photo with audio track.
    When I watch the video option and hit the "back" button, I return to the main menu. Perfect. But when I'm in either of the Photo/Audio pages and hit "back", I return not to the main me menu (which is what I want), but to the video.
    Why is this happening and how do I correct it? Thanks!

    I am a bit confused. When you say the "back" button, do you instead mean the "Menu" button?
    Normally the back button would jump you back to the last chapter. If there are no chapters in your movie, then the back button would just back to the default first chapter at 0:00. In other words, back button should restart the movie from the beginning.

  • Why does my iDVD project skip the main menu screen when starting?

    I just finished a movie in iMovie 09, chose iDVD from the iMovie menu, chose a theme, etc., all was fine, burned the DVD and it works great except it starts the movie instantly rather than showing the opening screen with the main menu.

    When you export to iDVD from iMovie 09, iMovie usually creates an iDVD project in which your movie plays automatically before the main menu is shown. As SDUser has said, you can get rid of that behaviour by going into the DVD map and dragging out the very first item.
    A hint: if you have chapter markers in your movie, and you are using a theme that has motion menus, open up the Inspector (the little i button bottom left in iDVD) and while you are in the Map view click on each menu. Take a look at the length of the menu loop. There is a bug in iDVD that often causes it to make ridiculously long menu loops (in one case 3 hours, even though the menu music clip was 30 seconds and the whole movie was under an hour). That will cause iDVD to take forever rendering your project, and will waste a lot of DVD space that you are need for your main movie. Just drag the slider back to a sensible menu loop length. But go back and check before you burn; as soon as you edit anything else in the menu (for example change the music background) the loop length will have to be fixed again.

  • Want to lengthen audio loop on main menu

    On the main menu, my Drop Zones loop after about 30 seconds (the max for that template). That's fine. But the song also loops at the same time. It sounds not so good.
    Is there anyway to lengthen the audio loop? I don't necessarily care if the video loop is altered.

    Is that what is constraining my audio loop to 30 seconds?
    In that case you'd be limited to the very tail end of the video so yes this could hold you down to 30 seconds or less in practice. The solution would be to move the start point /slider a bit forward to allow for a longer video loop. Hope this helps & good luck.

  • I recently downloaded 2 movies in iTunes on my windows PC and movies will not play, they will open up to the main menu, mouse overs work as well as extra features.  However the main movies will not let you play.

    I recently downloaded 2 movies in iTunes on my windows PC and movies will not play, they will open up to the main menu, mouse overs work as well as extra features.  However the main movies will not let you play. On mouse over in itunes the 'play' buttion is not enabled, yet is however enabled on previously downloaded movies.

    For me I have follow several of the help articles. When I play the movie in iTunes the screen is black with no audio, the timer status says it is playing (although it does not work all the time). I am able to play and have audio on the extras. I tried to use just QuickTime to play the movie and that as well does not work. I have started iTunes in safe mode and when the movie would begin to play, iTunes crashes and I have to restart. I have tried fresh clean installs of iTunes as well as QuickTime with no luck.
    It looks to be a QuickTime problem however I cant verify that. Any help would be great.

  • Page Forward & Reverse buttons do not work & are "grayed-out" after upgrading to, as is the Main-Menu Items such as File-Edit-view etc...

    After upgrading to Firefox 3.6.12 all functionality appeared to be intact. Then after a few days it lost the ability to "page forward" or to "page back" and are "grayed-out". Additionally, the Main menu items such as File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools & Help are also grayed-out and non-functioning.
    Also, the "Search Window" does not search, Web Searches need to be performed from within the URL window instead, for some crazy reason. If the URL window is blank when I enter a search into the actual search window the following appears in the URL window, "Search Bookmarks and History", which makes no sense.
    I have noticed similar complaints in this Forum in the past but I have not seen any posted resolution to these issues. Is there a solution?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Is there any way to create or move around folders on the main menu?

    For example, I know how to add things like Clock, and take out things like pictures.. but is there a way I could create another option to put notes or photos in? Like a new folder on the main menu that you could go into and it would have maybe my photos, notes, and a calendar or something like that.

    You should be able to create and edit playlists on iOS devices and in iTunes.  Probably much quicker and easier on the computer, and I believe smart playlists can only be created in iTunes.

  • Is there a way of just changing the text to the main menu..but not the submenus?

    Is there a way of just changing the text to the main
    menu..but not the submenus?
    Also i have looked at in the browser and when i glide over
    the menu catergories or click on them they dont show the
    submenu...what can i do to solve this?

    Does the example described at
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/articles/menu_bar/index.html
    work for you?
    What are you doing that's different from the example?
    When you say you just want to change the text of the main
    menu without changing the submenus, do you mean you want to do so
    dynamically, at some later stage after the page has loaded?
    If so, you could try retrieving the main menu elements you
    want to update from the DOM and updating them from your script's
    event handler for whatever event it is that you want to update them
    in response to. This presumes the widget will detect this and
    update appropriately, which I can't say for sure since I haven't
    actually tried it.
    Hope that helps!

  • IMac (2008) OS10.6.8 - Main menu freezes when running more than one application at a time.  Apple and 3rd party applications - all freeze the main menu.  Safe mode seems to work OK. Tried repairing permissions - didn't work.

    For the past 60 days I've experienced Main Menu freeze when running more than one application at a time.  iPhoto, Preview, Text Edit, Epson Scan, Firefox and Thunderbird are the apps I use almost daily.  No matter what I do, when more than one is running they will freeze the Main Menu (top of the screen).  I've tried booting is Safe Mode and I don't seem to have a problem.  I've tried several suggestions from repairing permission (DiskUtility) to eliminating specifis login items.  Nothing works. I've posted this issue on the Apple forum several times and no one else has experienced this problem.  I hesitate to take my iMac to the Apple Store or a private Apple repair service until I've exhausted all of my options.  Do I have any more options?    

    Question:  Everytime an app crashes I have the option to report it to Apple - which I usually do.  But I've NEVER reported a Main Menu freeze because it never asks me to
    There's really no need to submit to Apple, it's just a round file cabinet on the other end, especially with 10.6 or earlier.
    This sure sounds like a resource problem...
    See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...

    Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • I just bought Apple Tv.  Everything is hooked up and home sharing is turned on (imac, ipad, apple tv).  When i play my itunes through my tv the song will play for apprx. 45 to 60 seconds and then cuts off and goes back to the main menu.

    I just purchased Apple Tv 2.  Hooked it up and everything is set on Home Sharing.  When i attempt to play itunes through  my tv the song will only play for approx. 45-60 seconds and then the Main Menu comes on and the song quits.  Same goes for when I put my photos on.
