Encoding Audio in iDVD for 41 hours. Is there any hope?

I know others have had the same problem. The Activity Monitor shows iDVD Not Responding, but still using 96% CPU. Has anyone ACTUALLY completed a DVD using iDVD 6.0.3 and OSX 10.4.8? My movie is 70 min. long with DV, photos, and iTunes music (one song from Apple Music Store).
Should I have hope and wait or Cancel and try another approach? Will creating a "Best Quality" Quicktime Movie and dragging it into iDVD give me the same quality result as my current iMovie to IDVD method?

What i cannot understand is that iDVD and iMovie were created so that you could add transitions, music (encouraged to be from your iTunes library), titles and voice overs, yet when i (and it appears many others) try to do exactly that, we are left waiting for 24 hours + for the audio to encode.
To me this is completely unacceptable. I would understand if i was using some software that didnt recomend you to use iTunes as a music source, or it wasnt designed to add a couple of songs along the timeline.
If iTunes suddenly stopped being able to play music files or transfer them to your iPod there would be an uproar. Thats what iTunes was designed for, to arrange your music, and transfer it to your iPod.
And thats what iMovie and iDVD were invented for. To edit videos, and add music from your itunes library to those videos and then create your own DVD.
Dont get me wrong, I apreciate all the posts offering workarounds and suggestions to finish off what should be a simple project, i just feel that a lot of people think that its 'us' to blame (the persons having the problem) and not the software which was desinged to do the very thing that it currently isnt doing.
Ive just spent £1000 on a new Macbook because i was sick to the back teeth of the problems i always exprienced on windows. Now i have a project sitting on my machine using up valuable space whilst i wait and hope that a fix will come out.
Anyway, appologies for my rant

There has been no signal in Springdale, UT for hours today. there is no way to contact Verizon (Calling or Web Chat). Service has been deteriorating for the past two years in the area. Worse fact is no one at the company seems to care. Right now the immed

There has been no signal in Springdale, UT for hours today. there is no way to contact Verizon (Calling or Web Chat). Service has been deteriorating for the past two years in the area. Worse fact is no one at the company seems to care. Right now the immediate issue is no service. I cannot do business this way.

You used the data. Verizon can not see what it was sued for. However your phone can see whats apps used the data. go to settings-data usage- there will be a place that says data usage cycle. line the dates up with your cycle. then there will be a bar graph below that extend bother white bars one all the way to the left and one all the way to the right. after those are extended below that will be a list of apps, there should be one that used over 2 gb and that will show you what app used that data in her purse

I dropped my ipod 4 into the toilet. I tried turning it on twice,stupidly. Then put it in rice. Is there any hope for my ipod? and if not is there a way to get all 1500 of my photos? Pleaaase help!!!

Hello i dropped my ipod in the toilet (clean water). Once i took it out of the toilet i pressed the home button and within a second it shut off! :( I quickly dried it with a towel and accidently pressed the top button! D: and put it immediatly into a bag of rice. 3-4 hours passes and i tried to turn it on nothing happened. I honestly tjougjt it would be dry...stupidly! and now its on the rice and has been in there for an hour since the last time i triwd turnong it on. Is there any hope that my ipod will be okay? and if not could it be repaired? How much is it to repair? One more question what will happen to my photos, is there a way i could atleast get my photos?!? Please please please help!!!!!! please!!!

Hey Posada143, You can still try the rice thing, but do not expect much, as roaminggnome has stated. The rice only works if you do it ASAP and leave the iPod off-- do not attempt use, turn on or charge until it is completely dried out. This is probably academic at this point but remember this for the next time: The drying can take 10 days. You put the uncooked rice and iPod in a sealed bag, change the rice every couple of days. This creates a low humidity environment and draws the moisture out of the iPod, but it takes time. Turn your iPod on to earlier, and you run the risk of shorting out, damaging the components inside. Even if done correctly it can spotty. If you do get the iPod to work (and this may require Resetting, Restoring or attempting to place it in DFU recover mode) the first thing you do is make backups, because you never know how long it will continue to work. As for your pictures, if you can't get your iPod to work, you can try data retrieval companies, however; there is no guaranty it will work and it tends to be very expensive. In the future get in the habit of as making backups, because you just don't know. And invest in and use a water tight case. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

Is there any hope for my 5S after it's dip?

Hi All
I dropped my 5S in water two days ago. I got it out in seconds, powered it off, dried it with a cloth, removed sim, and shook all water out and placed it in rice. It's been in the rice in the airing cupboard for 48 hours. So I took it out and tried it. Nothing. So, plugged it in to charge, it buzzed but nothing. I left it a while, still nothing. I flicked the mute button on and off and that buzzed too. I tried holding down the home button and the power button but nothing. So I've put it back in the cupboard in the rice. Is there any hope???

Nope. Even if it does start working again, it's only a matter of time before it fails completely.

I dropped my phone down the toilet and before I switched it off I sent a text. I have left it to dry out for the last 48hiurs. Is there any hope for my iPhone 5c?

Probably not. First of all, 48 hours is not enough. 5-7 days is better. Secondly, if you did not turn it off the very instant you retrieved it, it probably did worse damage. Even if it powers on, it's very unlikely it will function 100%.

How to do advance payment against PO for this is there any T.code

Hello,
Lt's say for ex: Once Po is created how to pay the advance payment against PO to the vendor, for that is there any transaction code.
Once advance payment is made against PO, again system should not allow for ammendement
So like this to control the system what are the configuration settings need to be done please explain
Early action in this matter will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
Apply the user exit : EXIT_SAPMM06E_016
Following Logic can be use:
1. Validate the company code (BUKRS ) & Purchasing document type (BSTYP = F) from EKKO table for the Purchase order number (EBELN).
2. Check the entries for the Purchase order and the item number in the Purchase order history table ( EKBE) and also Validate if there is any down payment document exists (VGABE = 4)
3. If we find down payment doc in EKBE table then display the warning or error message as POP - UP by using functional module POPUP_TO_CONFIRM.
Step 1: Validate Company code and Purchasing Document type from EKKO table
Step 2: Check the Purchasing document history from EKBE table
Step 3: Check whether any down payment exists.
Step 4: Display popup message to user:
Use the function module u201CPOPUP_TO_CONFIRMu201D to display the below message u201CPo cannot be changed, Down payment already exists for this PO item u201D.

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine? All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

Hello kpratta,
There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:

This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
Hope this helps.

I accidentally washed my iPod nano. Is there any hope for it?

I stuck my iPod nano in my pocket, and yes, forgot to take it out before my sister washed our clothes. Right after it got washed, I plugged it in to my computer, and it did turn on, just with a little distortion on the screen. It has been about a month now though, and the iPod won't turn on at all, even when it is plugged in. But iTunes recongizes that the iPod is plugged in.
Is there any hope for my iPod, or would it be better just to save for a new one?

I think that when you turned it on after it was washed, that was the end. If it's been a month and won't turn on, I would assume it probably won't ever. Start saving your money. Apple has refurbished models that carry the same warranty as new units and they are $50 less. Check these out:

What a colossally bad idea! To anyone reading this thread DO NOT DO THIS!!! Once anyone other than an Apple Authorized Service Provider (and that doesn't automatically mean your carrier, just FYI) opens up the device, then ALL options from Apple are gone, permanently.

Help! Is there any hope for my pictures?

A couple weeks ago my iPod died just before I was to go on vacation. I took the dead iPod with me because I would be vacationing near an Apple store. While on vacation I got the iPod replaced. The genius bar person told me just to sync it with my computer when I got it home. I proceeded to use it for the rest of my vacation, including taking pictures and videos. When I got home last night, I plugged it into my computer and clicked he restore button as instructed. My apps are all synced, but now I've lost my vacation pictures! There was no warning message about my pictures being destroyed! Is there any hope?

tryglyph,
More than likely not. Restoring the iPod erases all content and settings from the iPod. Sorry.
Next time, be sure to copy all videos and photos from your iPod first.

Is there any hope for us here?

I live in the Caribbean (Dominican Republic). I see the iPhone getting released in a lot of big countries, but I don't see Apple releasing the iPhone in other countries like mine.
I have seen iPhones activated here, but as you know they are being ilegaly activated with the hacking options available, and with every new update the hacks get frustrated.
Is there any hope for the iPhone being released in countries like mine here in the caribbean? What chances do you see for us here? Are we destined to live without the iPhone or with an hacked-outdated iPhone?

The best thing to do is keep watching for announcements from Apple on when the iPhone will be coming to the Dominican Republic, since this is a user to user forum no one would be able to give you an answer.

I have not had any experience in getting any devices repaired so I'm not sure which store to resort to. An official Apple store should more than likely get you what you need, but I'm guessing it's probably more expensive. (if any cost for your situation)
I hope you get your problem resolved.

Why not? If you are under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let Apple deal w/hardware problems. If you mess up, your warranty will be voided!
