DVD starts on Sub Menu page and not top menu/startup page

I'm sure there's an easy solution to this, but I can't seem to find it. I have tried highlighting the page that I want it to start at when initiating burning, but this did not work. I cannot find any menu selection to change it or any get info/inspector option. Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew
Welcome to apple discussions. We need some more info on exactly what you're trying to do. Are you using iDvd's preview function or apple's dvd player app? (if it's the latter, that's the way apple's dvd player is designed, to play at the point you last viewed the dvd).
On the other hand if this happens consistently within iDvd's preview function; then this is not the norm. And I'd start by disposing of iDvd's plist followed by a complete restart of your mac. (make sure you quite iDvd first). The plist for iDvd is located in your preferences folder on your main HD. It looks like this:
com.apple.iDvd.plist
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

I use CCleaner from the AppStore to delete the 'useless' stuff. It's free and works great for me

My phone will not turn on, therefore I have received a replacement phone but am wanting to reset my old device. It is not locating it because it says it is offline however I cannot turn it on at all. Can I start with my new device and not reset the old? Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's been a week without a phone

That does happen. It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system. If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

Help! Compiled DVD starts at wrong menu but fine in simulator

This is my first DVD Studio Pro project and this problem is frustrating: everything is perfect in simulator however when I Build/Format the image the DVD starts at a sub menu instead of the disclaimer set to autoplay.
As I inspected the log file while compiling, DVDSP thinks this particular sub menu is Menu#1:
Starting DVD Build PVP_VOL1...
Compiler Initializing...
Precompiling Project PVP_VOL1
Compiling VMG Information...
Created 37 PGCs in VTSM1
Created 5 PGCs in VTSM2
Created 5 PGCs in VTSM3
Created 10 PGCs in VMG.
8 Menu(s) will be created...
Compiling Menu PGCs...
Compiling Menu PGCs...
*Compiling Menu#1 (Season 2 Menu-2)...*
Menu#1 should be 'disclaimer' or 'title menu.' I have no clue why it chooses that particular sub menu during the build and why everything working correctly in simulator.
Any ideas?

Could be that you set first play to be that menu (simulator may be inaccurate or you could have accidently set it to play a menu as oppossed to the beginning of the disc)
Is the disclaimer a track or a menu? Any scripts or straight jumps from one to the next? Which players are you trying this on?
Not that this should be an issue, but you can also look at the menu layouts it VTS view to see what order they are in as far as DVD SP is concerned. In other words if you move things around in outline view, the VTS may not change.

Why does standby start automatically in read only and not in mount?

hi there,
running 10.2.0.4 EE on windows 2008
i have the problem that when starting the windows servcie for the standby database, the db automatically runs into the read only mode and NOT as desired in the mout state
only if I am starting the standby like following:
STARTUP NOMOUNT;
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT STANDBY DATABASE
I will get my desired result.
what do I have to configure in order that restarting the windows service (or only make a startup on the sqlplus prompt...) will bring up the standby in mount state?
thanks in advance
stefan

This is the expected behaviour. In 10g , if we invoke startup on a standby database, it automatically opens the database in READ ONLY mode. Not tested the same on other versions. You may want to use -STARTMODE option with oradim to set the instance startup to manual and bring it up manually every time.

PSE 8 Organizer. View (Sub-) Categories: OR, AND, NOT...

I'm testing the Organizer in PSE 8. I've created several categories including subcategories. A simple example:
PEOPLE
          Peter
          Paul
          Mary
YEAR
          2008
          2009
When I select the subcategories Peter and Paul, I see the thumbnails / pictures that contains either Peter or Paul and both Peter and Paul. This view corresponds with what is called a Boolean OR. But I cannot find a way to only view thumbnails / pictures containing both Peter and Paul (Boolean AND).
Is this possible in PSE8 Organizer?
You can do this easily in for example ACDSee or IDImager by choosing the Boolean option you want (AND, OR) - but the way it is done differ between these two applications.
Jøran

It's not at all obvious, but you can get boolean AND for keyword searches:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Searches_are_showing
You can also use the search text box to type queries, using AND, OR, and NOT:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ElementsOrganizer/8.0/Win/Using/WS3265F89A-20BA-47fd-81D5-9091 ABA3819D.html
For some reason, product designers of consumer products still think that boolean OR is a better default than boolean AND. But for the last ten years, consumers have been trained by Internet search engines to expect boolean AND.

DVD from TV DVD Recorder plays on one iMac and not another

I've recorded DVD+Rs on a Sony DVD/VHS analog/digital recorder. They play fine on my white iMac, but appear as a blank burnable disk on my aluminum iMac. Could this be a software issue of something I've added to the white iMac they do play on? Darned if I know what it is...
Any troubleshooting suggestions gratefully accepted.

My start button and desk top menu keep relocating themselves to top, and sides, How do I get them back on the botom of the page and keep them there?

When I initialize my start up, and my home page loads, my start button, short cut icons, and desk top menu will move from the bottom where I prefer them, to the top, or left and tight sides, which shortens my home page, or any site I go to. How do I lock them in to the bottom and keep them there. This has just started in the past 2 weeks.

Drag the Taskbar with the Start button to the wanted position and right click that bar the lock it to prevent accidental moving it.

Making a DVD that starts at the menu - not autoplay

How do I cut a DVD from iDVD that goes directly to the Top Menu? I moved a multi-chapter movie over from iMovie and then added some additional movies from the Media Browser and burned a DVD. It has all the Chapter information for scene selection. The problem is that when the DVD is inserted it immediately goes to the first movie. How can I get it to go directly to the Top Menu?
I know there is a selection to do this, or not, in Toast. I can't fine that selection in iDVD '09.
Thanks.

Q:Are there detailed User Manuals for iMovie and for iDVD?
A: Indeed there are detailed user manuals for both iDvd as well as iMovie (and other apple software apps too).
It's called the Help Menu for iDvd. And it looks like this:
click here:
Just type in the subject you wish and hit return. There's also the "Getting Started" manual and Tutuorials for iDvd (if you scroll down a step or two further on the Help menu) that comes with the software and can be found on this forum if you use the search field to the right of this page.
And just as importantly there are countless web sites offering iDvd help and tutorials along with those already included in apple's own web site.
One of my favorite Help sites on the web are those offered by Ken Stone. As well as the daily wisdom and actual working knowledge offered by dozens of forum members like Karsten Schlüter , Fred Shippey, Bengt Wärleby , Beverly Maneatis , J Keller , Klaus1, Niel, Old Toad, and many others.

My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this?

My MacBook Air 13' (2013) will occasionally start the fan at full blast, not connect to any wifi or detect any wifi, and will remove the battery icon from my menu bad as well as tell me there is no battery connected. How do I fix this? I have restarted my computer multiple times, **** it down, and ran a diagnostic test to tell me nothing is wrong and my computer is not running any applications. There is no reason for the fan to be on full blast! when I try to set the option to show my battery icon in the menu bar, it will automatically uncheck. How do I fix all of this?

Have you tried SMC and PRAM resets?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

I have a running set of data in my Notes. I just added to 1 of my notes. When finished by mistake I clicked and not Done. So I clicked Done on the blank page. This brought me to Notes menu and the 1 I was working in is gone. I never hit delete.

I Have a running set of topics in my Notes. I just added to Note topic on iPhone 5. When I finished I mistakenly clicked + instead of Done. When I saw the blank page that appeared after the + click, I clicked Done. That brought me back to the menu of my notes - and the note topic I was working on was not there. Disappeared. At NO time did I click Delete. I have looked thru all my other note categories to see if some how the disappeared note was added to an existing note but it is not. After 3 or 4 minutes of looking around my iPhone notes, I checked my iPad Notes and the topic was missing from there also.
Any ideas where this Note topic went or how to recover? Or am I SOL???
THank you

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.
