Can not copy links to other menus correctly

When I try to copy a link to another menu, it does not copy just the link itself. Instead, it copies that target menu and all it's submenus, and pastes them into that menu. So when I past a link and then look at the DVD map, everything is repeated within another submenu. The problem snowballs from there. The help menu clearly states that when you copy a link, it only copies the link itself and that it will link back to the original menu, when in fact it is creating an entirely new menu. Does anyone have any idea what's going on ? Thank you very much for any input.

Hello Micah,
When you copy a button in iDVD you are copying that button's properties.
For example: I have a button "Submenu 1" and that button leads to a menu with a movie inside called "My Great movie".
I then click on the button "Submenu 1" and go to Edit > Copy and then Edit > Paste it pastes that button again.
Both buttons lead to the same menu with the same movie inside of it (much the same way as an alias works in the Finder). The DVD Map view shows them as 2 separate menus with their own tree of items. However the actual files are not duplicated, simply referenced.
You can check to see if content is being duplicated by going to Project > Project Info.
In the "Media" section you will see a reference to every video / audio file used in the project.
In this case of my project there is only 1 copy of the movie in the window: "My Great Movie".
This means that rather than duplicating the files, it is making a reference (alias/link) to the original.
Hope that helps.

  • Can not copy links with firefox ...

    I use Firefox to play a ton of games on Face Book. When ever I right click on a link to copy it and send to others, it doesn't work. This has been going on for several weeks. I thought it was my computer but have discovered that Safari lets me copy the links just fine. I prefer Fire Fox. Can you help me with this. ?????

  • Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

    Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album.  It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.  This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes.  If I just hit play, this doesnt happen.  As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order.  Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it.  When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example).  But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason.  Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening.  Any thoughts?

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
    if you review the thread at
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
    also the thread at
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17513078#17513078
    you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.
    Good luck.

  • I have followed the directions given and still can not copy and paste, how can I fix this?

    I am trying to use the copy and paste function on a website and I get a message window that states that firefox does not allow cut/copy/paste. I followed the link for help and created the js. text file like instructed with the website's URL. I still can not copy and paste. I can copy and paste on this website with internet explorer, but not with firefox. I can not perform all the website functions with the internet explorer brower and switching back and forth from browser to browser is very time consuming and a hassle. Please help me solve this issue.

    Try this using extension - Allow Clipboard Helper - it makes that a lot easier to do and lessens the incidence of user error. <br />

  • InDesign Packaging "Can't copy links"

    What would be possible causes of the "Can't copy links" error when trying to package in InDesign 7.0.4 on Windows 7. The links are located on various network drives. This setup has worked for many years but we recently moved our entire file structure from an aging Windows server to a new Network Attached Storage device. It's obvious that is the cause of the trouble but I've exhausted my knowledge.
    What I've done so far:
    Double and triple checked the permissions on the NAS (I have all read/write permissions)
    Packaging old and new documents
    Copying all links to a new location using that function in the Links panel (same error occurs)
    My only solution so far has been to embed all the links, package the file, then unembed them into the links folder in the packaged folder. Not a great solution considering how it takes about 30 minutes to copy the necessary ~1GB of links twice.'
    Thoughts?

    I realize that's not a very helpful response.
    lol! All I did was make sure that each machine mapped the same drive letter to the same folder on the new server. It worked like a charm :-)
    Peter Spier wrote:
    Can you select a link and "edit original"?
    yes, no problems whatsoever with the links. I can even "reveal in explorer" with no problem. My guess is that for some reason, the file server is rejecting the connection when I package but I'm not sure why.

  • Mac OS X can not copy files...?

    I am very new to Mac OS X and I found it strange that I can not copy files from my hard drive (docs, spreadsheets) to a blank CD-ROM disk. I called the local Apple store and they said I have to buy a third party application to copy(burn) files to CD-ROM disks. I am not talking about copying copyrighted files, just plain old Word and Excel docs. Does anyone know if this is true? I have to get a separate application to do this? Thanks, Tony.

    You can certainly copy files to to a blank CD without extra programs. But once there is data on the disc, it becomes much more complicated to add data at a later date.
    Windows, however, had a proprietary CD filesystem that let you use the CD like a floppy disc, where you could add and "erase" files randomly.
    You can buy an inexpensive program called BurnAgain that does something similar on the Mac.
    http://freeridecoding.com/burnagaindvd/
    Frankly, though, I think CDs make bad floppy discs. There is much more chance for data corruption when they are re-written.
    I'd recommend an inexpensive USB Thumbdrive (Flashdrive). They come in all sizes and really do work like a giant floppy disk -- only much faster. They are dirt cheap. You can find one the capacity of a CD for about $10 or less. DVD-size flashdrives are now under $40 some places.
    The easy way to burn data (once) to a CD or DVD is to create a Burn Folder. Hold down the CTL key and click once on your desktop. You'll get a pop-up menu with a choice to create a New Burn Folder. Name the Folder what you want the Disc to be named. Then open the folder and drag the files or folders you want to Burn onto the burn folder. It will actually create links (aliases or shortcuts in Windows terms) to those items. Click on the burn button at the top of the folder and it will ask for you to insert a blank CD or DVD.
    You can discard the burn folder if you are through with it, because it just contains alias (shortcuts). But I must warn you that if you navigate into the subfolders of those shortcuts, you will be dealing with your actual files. So please, don't delete anything inside a folder inside a burn folder -- those are your real files!

  • Strange scenario,Oracle can not display the data in mysql correctly

    I use Heterogeneous Service+ODBC to achieve "oracle access mysql"(any other method?),and now i find Oracle can not display the data in mysql correctly:
    -------mysql------------
    mysql> create table tst(id int,name varchar(10));
    Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
    mysql> insert into tst values(1,'a');
    Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
    mysql> select * from tst;
    ------------+
    | id | name |
    ------------+
    | 1 | a |
    ------------+
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)
    mysql> show create table tst\G
    *************************** 1. row ***************************
    Table: tst
    Create Table: CREATE TABLE `tst` (
    `id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
    `name` varchar(10) DEFAULT NULL
    ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8
    1 row in set (0.00 sec)
    -------------oracle ------------------
    SQL> select count(*) from "tst"@mysql;
    COUNT(*)
    49
    SQL> select * from "tst"@mysql;
    id
    1
    SQL> desc "tst"@mysql;
    Name Null? Type
    id NUMBER(10)

    You can make the following query on the result page:
    "select * from the_table where movietitle = ? and cinema = ?"
    then you set movietitle and cinema to those which the user selected. If the resultset contains more than 0 rows, that means the movie is available.
    Below is the sample code, it assumes you have a connection to the database:
    PreparedStatement stat = myConnection.prepareStatement("select * from the_table where movietitle = ? and cinema = ?");
    stat.setString(1, usersMovieTitleSelection);
    stat.setString(2, usersCinemaSelection);
    ResultSet res = stat.executeQuery();
    if (res.next()) {
    out.print("The movie is available");
    } else {
    out.print("The movie is not available");
    }Now just add that to your JSP page. Enjoy ! =)

  • Can not copy text from AI CC or AI6 in to the file name

    I have an AI file with 80+ UPC codes that I need to separate in to individual files. Each UPC has a descriptor but when I copy the text and then try to paste it as file name it will not paste. I use this same process regularly in InDesign when I design print ads. Each print ad has a unique item number that prints with the copyright line so I simply copy and paste that information when I do the save.
    Under File Handling and Clipboard both PDF and AICB are on. I've tried this in AICC and AICS6. I also tried different files. Same issue. Any suggestions? I really don't want to have to type 80 some descriptions which are very lengthy. 

    I can not copy the text from Illustrator in to any OS X application/function (filename, Mail, Text Edit, ect). I can copy in to InDesign, Photoshop, Flash, and other other Adobe product. I can copy in to Word as well. I guess my work around will be Word.
    And the opposite is true. I can copy text from any other Adobe application to any OS X application/function with no issues.
    I guess my work around will be to OCR the text from Acrobat and open in Word. The descriptors have to be 100% accurate and some of them are pretty long.

    Does anybody know what cause the problem and how to fix it? The current walkaround is to convert the pdf into image, then load the image into acrobat and perform OCR. But this is tedious and some information may be lost. I'm wondering if there is a better solution.

  • I have protected pdf files. You can not copy things, but it is allowed to print. In the menu of the pdf it says you are allowed to print. I already printed lots of times the document. But today there is an error "The printer is not admittet to print these

    I have protected pdf files. You can not copy things, but it is allowed to print. In the menu of the pdf it says you are allowed to print. I already printed lots of times the document. But today there is an error "The printer is not admittet to print these pdf". Its new. Theres no problem with the printer. I can print word documents, internet pages etc. But today I can not print anymore my pdf document, although printing is allowed and only copying is forbidden.
    How to solve the problem with the pdf?
    Thank you.

    Hi Hans,
    There seems to be other restrictions in the document that's not allowing it to print.
    Would it be possible to share the document with me so that I can have a look?

  • Can not copy any file or empty the trash

    Hello,
    I'm using a Macbook (white) with OSX 10.6.4 and am having an extremely annoying problem which has three symptoms:
    1. I *can not empty the trash* (safely or not) at all.
    2. I *can not copy any file*, anywhere.
    3. I *can not move anything to the "Applications"* folder.
    I try restarting the computer, repairing the permissions, running the latest version of Onyx and so on, but nothing works. I always get the following error message (when copying a file or emptying the trash)
    "The operation can't be completed because you don't have the permission to access some of the items".
    And this even though I repaired the permissions three times today.
    To be honest, this makes my Mac pretty useless, and is very frustrating.
    Can anybody help? I've browsed a lot of other threads about this, tried everything, but to no avail.
    Come on, this is my first Mac, don't tell me I have to reinstall the OS from zero, Windows-style.

    Those are the normal permissions but if you are logged in as admin, hit the unlock button and enter your password they should no longer be greyed out.
    You can try chmoding them from root through the terminal if you are up for it. I'd also try booting up in SafeMode and seeing if that allows access.

  • I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in premiere 12

    Following the procedure described in the manual, I can not copy a transition between multiple clips in Premiere 12.
    Premiere copy a single transition in the clip closer to the time bar.
    I had tried in various ways but to no avail. The problem can be solved?
    Thanks for the help.

    Sig. T.T. Romano,
    javascript:void(0)
    I finally figured out that you can not copy a transition between multiple clips at the same time and it will copy one at a time.
    What seems strange, however, because in Pinnacle, which I used until recently, this could be done, and Adobe is not less than Pinnacle.
    Maybe Adobe does not consider interesting this thing, or maybe it is inserted in Premiere Pro. How, for example, in the titles, the ability to animate multiple lines. In Premiere Elements missing but I knew that in the Pro's.
    I thank you anyway for your helpful answers.

  • Movie 11 can not copy everything and put it into a new project in imovie 9 it works fine

    movie 11 can not copy everything and put it into a new project
    in imovie 9 it works fine and there i cant copy 5 different project into new project
    but in imovie 11 i only can copy project with option dubler project?

    AppleMan  Thanks very much for the information, however I could't make it work. I followed your instructions to the letter, in fact I tried every which-way. I created a dedicated file into which I copied and pasted the project from "package contents"  but it was still greyed out when I went to retrieve it. I also found that the file size was reduced to only a few Kb.  Any further step-by-step instructions would be appreciated as I am obviously doing something wrong.  Babowa  It appears that in imovie everything has to be "finalised" before it can be used or shared elsewhere in the same way as a disk has to be to be played elsewhere. Funnily enough an MOV file I converted to Mp4 was not greyed out and I was able to import it.... an exercise I am not keen on because of resolution loss during conversion

  • Can not copy planning application in EAS?

    the copy option is blanked out for planning application, but fine with other applications.
    this is 11.1.2.3, not see this previous version.

    You can not copy planning application from EAS (Essbase part).. As the application registration is different for Planning and Essbase only applications. Thats why will not be able to register the planning application from EAS as well...
    If you really want to copy Planning application...
    Then LCM, Copyapp.bat/sh can help you ...You need to create new Planning application (Not just essbase part of Planning app).
    Cheers!
