First Coaster in almost 5 years

My old laptop died and my new MacBook has iDVD 6. I tried my first burn last night (a 53 minute iMovie w/chapters) and it freezes when played on my set top DVD player. The second copy I burned seems to work OK. Both were on Maxell 16x media.
Previously, all of my iDVD's were done over the last 5 years on this computer and since it has a 2x burner and 2x media is no longer available it burns at 1x when using 16x media. These and the older 2x discs always worked perfectly.
What should I do to get it to burn right the first time?
Also, in iDVD 4, I was able to drag the "myproject.mov" icon from the iMovie project folder to iDVD and it would import the imovie and automatically make a separate folder for the chapters. When doing this in iDVD6, the chapters are lost. In iDVD4, dragging the iMovie projects was the only way to get two separate movies with their chapters into a single iDVD project. How do I get two movies w/chapters into a single iDVD6 project?

Ok there are several issues here Lauren. Some I can sort of help with.
How did your iMovie project get into iDVD? Did you export it/share it from iMovie? Because that could be the cause of some of your problems. Recommendations are for you to close your iMovie project. Open your iDVD project then find the image of your iMovie project in the finder and "drop" it into your iDVD project. Apparently this eliminates the double rendering - and may eliminate the freezing.
The second issue is to do with the sort of media used. Recommendations from long time users in here suggest Verbatim -R.
The third issue I can deal with is the burn ratio. If you save your project to disk, you can then use Toast or Disk Utility to burn at a reduced rate. iDVD seems to burn at the maximum rate of the disk used (for example at 16x on the media you chose). If you use Toast or Disk Utility you can choose the burn rate at preferrably 1 or 2x.
I hope this helps.
I am unable to help you with your other questions.

  • HT204053 Somehow the very first email I had years ago that I don't even remember the password for, keeps coming up as my apple ID, when I want to make any purchase on ITunes. Why won't my real ID come up, and I can't find the right solution?

    Does anyone know how to eliminate a mistaken apple ID that you still use as an email
    but for some reason, now when I go to make a purchase at ITunes, it  brings up this email
    as my apple ID instead of my actual Id and it will not take the current password I have for
    this email. Somehow I believe it is confused, because years ago this was my first email, and
    it had a different password way back then, that I no longer remember.
    I am very sorry if this all sounds confusing, but my Mac book has been out of commission for the
    past year, and I have been recently trying to work on it, and I am not suave on the computer at all, so
    if my next question sounds lame, you'll know why... I wondered if that may have caused any of my
    latest hitches, only because when I first purchased Mac, 4 years ago, this rogue email was the one
    I signed up with everything on my Mac, but I have not been using it for the past 9 months, just my
    iPhone, until that died 3 months ago, and then I got this new I phone 5 2 months ago, thinking my
    problems would be..., a thing of the past,??, for at least a little while??? But NO, they have not,
    However, I'm sticking to the problem at hand, I have a full functioning apple ID that works and at
    some occasional times, ITunes would bring the correct ID up. And only once in a while bring the
    Bogus one up. But in the last few weeks, all it asks for now is the wrong ID and my frustration has
    reached its max!!' I have missed out on purchasing two apps I needed, and some music I wanted,
    and I don't think I'll be able to even use ITunes at all until I can know how to make my devices realize
    that my email is an email, not a apple ID, and then make it accept my real ID!!!
    Without having to eliminate, or delete my email address I still use, and receive mail
    at. Please forgive this lengthy explanation!!!
    I was only trying to make sense, if I confused you
    more, I'm very sorry... Thank you for any brave ones that tackle this, and actually have some
    Solutions for me.., I thank you much indeed!!  Sincerely  Kim

  • How to find first day of the year

    Big picture: trying to determine how many pay periods are left in the year. There are 52 weeks in a year, and our company pay out each week.
    The first pay week of the year always starts on a Friday. So If Janurary 1 is a friday, then the 1st week of pay period starts that week. If Jan 1 is a Thursday, then the first pay week will start on Janurary 2.
    I need to figure out what day the first day of any year it is. By day, i mean Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat, or Sun.
    Then when I figure out what day it is, i will write an if/then statement saying if Jan 1 is a monday, then add 4 days to that date and that will be the first day of a pay period.
    Then when i figure out the first day of the first week, I wanted to add 7 days to create week2, week3.... week 52.
    Then take todays date and if it was between week x and week y, then it would determine that z many pay periods are left...
    is this the best way to go about this? anything easier?

    You can use the getDay method of a Date object to determine the day of the week. Any decent JavaScript reference will have more information.

    I logged in to pay my bill via the app yesterday and my stored form of payment was gone. Since I wasnt at home I didnt have access to my checking account now nor a credit card. This is the first time in 14 years that my online account has had this issue and NO my stored card is not expired. My payment is now going to be late and i was going to get a new phone oin the Edge plan too. Am I going to get charged a late fee and does tgis affect my eligibilityafter 14 years of on time payments! And why did you wipe out my stored payment info?

    Ratwurkz,
    Oh my goodness! That is not what we like to hear. Were you able to log in online not through the My Verizon App? Did it show the card available in there? Is this the same card that you have used for past payments? Let's look a little closer.

  • How to get the first month of the year inputed by user manually

    Hi Expert,
    Just like the subject, I 'd like to get the first month of the year inputed by user manually, but don't know how to set the variable, please help.
    For example, user execute a query and input the value of variable Year = 2010, and what I want to get is 201001 into another variable, so that I can use this variable to setup another selection.
    Thank you.
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    1) U will create a user input varaible for year and say it is ZYEAR.
    2)  U will create another variable  for calmonth  which has processing type : customer exit ..single value ...mandatory ....say ZCMONTH.
    This needs to be populated using the year( user inputted )  and calmonth '001'
    This code will fetch the user input value into ZYEAR and append '001' to the user input value and the value
    will be passed to the ZCMONTH varaible...
    Sample Code is....
    When 'ZCMONTH'.
    IF I_STEP = 2.
         READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE WITH KEY VNAM = 'ZYEAR'.
         IF SY_SUBRC = 0.
                    L_S_RANGE-LOW  =  I_T_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
                   L_S_RANGE-LOW+4(3) = '001'.
                  L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
                 L_S_RANGE-OPT  = 'EQ'.
                      APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
        ENDIF.
    ENDIF.

  • I used IE first time in 3 years. I was able to READ the screen without my glasses. Didn't realize Firefox FONTS were so 'weak' Tried most everything to get Firefox fonts to look as bold and clean. Failed. Ideas please.

    I used IE first time in 3 years. When I did I was able to READ the screen without my glasses. Didn't realize Firefox FONTS were so 'weak' Tried most everything to get Firefox fonts to look as bold and clean. No luck.
    How do I get Firefox to DISPLAY a font as clear and clean as Word? I choose different fonts in Firefox and sizes and nothing really happens.

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

  • Updates for PhotoshopCC and Lightroom having trouble with downloads. error , corupt files under learn more. First time in the year that I have Photoshop CC

    Download trouble today Got the message for new updates for Lightroom and Photoshop CC.   Download fails, under learn more ,, corupt files  Fist time this hapened in a year Whats the remedy?

    There's a number of potential problems here, and they may not necessarily be at your end.
    First of all, it should be clear that CMYK is not so much a generic "image mode" as it is a description of specific press conditions. If you produce final CMYK, you must have the right profile. Don't use Image > Mode, use Convert to Profile.
    Given that, I would question anyone who doesn't accept Adobe RGB photographs for a magazine article, because it implies a process that isn't properly color managed and generally not up to date. A standard workflow today would use InDesign, where images are normally placed in their original RGB space whatever that is. Then the conversion to final output CMYK is done as the last step, when producing a press-ready PDF from InDesign.
    It helps tremendously if you know that final CMYK, because then you can proof to that so your file survives the CMYK conversion with the least possible damage (we're talking gamut clipping here; not general color shifts). But it's not absolutely required, which is why this workflow is relaitively safe.
    Third, CMYK jpeg is in itself risky, because many jpeg decoders (in some software) don't have proper CMYK support. The result can be weird colors. This could well be the problem here, because it sounds as if your client uses a non-standard workflow.
    So what to do? I would send two files. One sRGB as reference, which is guaranteed to come through correctly. Then find a way to send TIFF for the CMYK version if they insist, or ask them to try opening it in different software. Of course you should have a calibrated and profiled display, but I agree that's probably not the immediate problem here. There's no particular reason a CMYK file should come back with twisted colors if it's opened and processed in properly color managed software.

  • How much to replace cracked iPad mini first gen under 1 year war?

    My iPad dropped on concrete and I'm going back home to toronto next week :(. I plan on buying a MacBook and I guess now replacing my iPad mini first generation. I'm still under warranty for my iPad mini and the warranty expires November 16tth 2014. I don't care about the fee cause I will pay it, but because it is under a one year warranty with no apple care, how much can I expect to pay? The site lists $219 but that's for out of warranty, which my product is not. Will I get a new iPad mini first generation or will they give me the retina one? Or will they completely replace my iPad screen in 3-5 business days? How does this work..thanks.

    Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
    The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
         If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)   
    iPad model
    Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
    iPad mini
    $219
    iPad 3rd, 4th, Air
    $299
    iPad 2, iPad
    $249
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
