Has Apple fixed the audio encoding problem?

As many other people seems to have experienced before me, iDVD6 stops working when encoding audio. Everything works before that step but when it reaches the "Audio Encoding" sequence iDVD stops working. Did Apple fix the problem? What else can we do?
Thanks for any reply.

I followed your advice and restarted at 6:00 pm last night - this morning it was still going on - over 13 hours! The funny thing this time is that I got the 'rainbow ball' encoding audio at the beginning of the 3rd step, 'Processing movie' after only 1-1/2 hour. The last time I burned the same project, I got the 'rainbow ball' encoding audio message at the end of the 3rd step - in other words, it had processed the entire movie (which took 6 hours) and then began the encoding audio phase. I'm letting it run while I'm at work, but do you think there might be something else going on?
Here are some facts which apply to both times that I have tried burning the DVD project:
1. I have iMovie project (26Gb) on my external drive with about 15 Gb available space
2. and the iDVD project is on the internal hard drive with about 50 Gb of available space
The reason I moved the iMovie project to the external drive was because I would have only had about 24 Gb of available space if I left it on the internal drive (less than the movie itself).
Which drive is doing all the encoding and needing the most space - the internal or the external? I was assuming it was the internal drive. Should I move the iMovie project back to my internal drive and start over?
Thanks again - I'm a new member of this site and so far, it has been very helpful and informative!

  • Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection?

    Has Apple fixed the problem with 4G cellular connection on the iPad 3?

    Cellular connection problem was for US connection in Houston, Texas.  Have an iPad 2 which functions perfectely on Wi-Fi or 3G.  Bought an iPad 3 strictly to get the increased speed from the 4G LTE connection.  Purchased on with the AT &T cellular.  Wi-Fi functions fine, but 4G LTE connection is terrible when it connects at all.  Went to AT&T and they said no problems with service in my area, but never get over 2 bars and most times, Web pages load very slow or will hang and not load at all.  Went to the Apple store and they said it was AT&T network problem and went to AT&T and they said no problems with their service.  Went to the Apple communities forum here and discovered that many people were having the same problems with the 4G LTE cellular connection on their iPad 3's.  Didn't seem to matter if it was AT&T or Verizon.  So I decided that I would just return the unit and wait for Apple to fix the problem.  Hence my question.
    Appreciate very much your time in responding to my question.

  • Did Apple Fix the White Spot Problem (in older PBs)?

    Did Apple fix the white spot problem in the older 15" PBs? By fix, I actually mean, in production - not having to send it in to have it fixed. If I'm going to buy an last generation, discounted PB it will need to be flawless.

    We cannot go back very far away in the past in this forum, because posts are erased after a few months. I cannot personnaly answer the question whether or not the white spot where frequent or not, but it seems that there is for the moment very few posts talking about white spot in Jan/feb revision of PB15".
    As I told you before mine from August has a very tiny white spot, that I will check carefully in the future.
    If I can give you some advices :
    Buy a refurbished PB less than one year old (Feb rev). Call Applestore and ask them if you can buy an Applecare on it, it will cover it for the next two years after the end of the warranty. Check the possibility to send it back if it does not work properly.
    If your powerbook has no white spot appearing before 3 years of use, the probability it appears afterwards would be very low IMHO.

  • When you sent your Macbook for service, did Apple fix the audio pop issue?

    I'm experiencing the intermittent audio "pop" problem in my Santa Rose Macbook running 10.5.1. (There are numerous posts on this topic in this forum and elsewhere.)
    I'm wondering if this can remedied by a a trip to the Apple repair shop.
    For those who have experienced this problem, and who have sent their Macbooks back for repair -- was Apple able to solve the issue? Or is it unlikely to be remedied hardware, and instead be patched with a firmware fix via software update?

    bump. anyone?

  • When will Apple have the audio driver problems repaired?

    Cannot find Audio Devices !!!!!!?????
    No Cuebase ???? No Presonus hardware interface !!!
    Now that all new macs ship with OSX Lion when Will Apple solve the problem I would have thought the engineers would have seen this coming and thought this through.
    I had to downgrade back to Snow Leopard!! The whole incedent cost me valuable time and money
    I loved the Lion interface but c'mon guys ...!!! did you hire a bunch of laid off microsoft windows Vista programmers or something? 
    I can't believe you all made such an obvious mistake "not making OSX Lion backwards compatible with Snow leopard proven third party drivers"
    I did not expct this from Apple ..What a disapointment ......

    It's up to Samsung to do that, not Apple. You need to ask them.

  • Why won't Apple fix the wifi connectivity problem with the iMac and new OS instead of just havin us go through hours of useless mock fixes!

    I have spent hours with apple care about this problem with wifi connectivity.  According to all the posts I'm not alone.  I love my new IMAC
    but i'll be glad to go back to my PC just so I can get my email without all the headaches.  It seems that Apple has lost interest in
    the IMAC and all of the problems associated with the new OS. 

    Keep in mind that ASC is where people go to get help, so yes, you are seeing reports of people who are having WiFi connection issues. But while it might seem like there are lots of people having trouble, given the sheer number of iMacs in use, it is a very small number. Also keep in mind that WiFi isn't totally under Apple's control. There are dozens of WiFi routers. Even worse, the manufacturers of WiFi routers often release firmware upgrades to fix flaws without ever informing the consumer. And just to add to the confusion, while WiFi 801.2 n routers have been sold for several years, for most of that time there was no agreed upon standard!
    So if you'd like help, first, what router do you have and have you checked the vendor site to see that it has the latest firmware?

  • Has Apple addressed the Yosemite Mail problems?

    Since installing Yosemite, my email accounts are crazily erratic. Business account,w which worked fine previously, now is sporadic. Can receive sometimes, can send other times, but not consistent. Has there been any Apple response/fix to resolve the many problems I see posted by others on the internet?

    final cut pro 4.5 and final cut express 3 both seem to have the same dropped frames/capture issue once you upgrade to 10.4.9, something to do with spotlight.

  • Has Adobe fixed the cs3 print problem yet?

    Please don't beat me up for failing to look for answers.  I'm far from lazy.  I've spent the last two days and nights trying to print out some portraits that came out too vertically elongated any way I printed.
    I emailed nasty letters to Epson, feverishly searched the internet, only to discover on the internet that ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS3 was the problem.  Something about not being able to print non-square images proportionately.  Squares print out perfectly.
    I went back and studied the program.  The problem?  If you measure the rulers on the screen (thaaaat's right!  Physically hold a ruler to the screen!) the side ruler comes up short, so compensates through the printer.
    What did I do in the short time I had left?  I calculated the fake measures and the real measures, resized the images so they are proportionatly squished and they printed out perfect.
    Am I going to have to do squish my work every time I want to print something not square?  And please don't tell me that upgrading to cs4 (or whatever) is the answer.  I paid money for cs3 and should get what I paid for.
    Thanks!

    Apparently, your notebook has an option for the type of screen.
    http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3188
    "The E1705 has two options for the screen, a 1440x900 WXGA+ matte screen or a 1920x1200 WUXGA glossy screen."
    This is probably why you were able to use the  1920 x 1200 resolution setting.

  • Has Apple fixed the IOS to recover the heretofore compatibility with Audi MMI?

    I formerly was able to play my I Tunes music with the phone connected to the 2012 Audi MMI cable.  After an update the phone is no longer with compatible with the car. 

    What troubleshooting have you done?
    BTW, this is a user-to-user technical support forum. No one here would know what Apple did or did not do, or even if the problem is with iOS.

  • HT1338 When will Apple fix the sound sync problem in PhotoBooth video?

    Suggestions online are
    (1) reboot with cmd/opt/p/r  This is not a solution but a temporary fix, a sign that Mountain Lion is not working well!
    (2) reset the sound config in Audio settings.  This works briefly, again a temporary fix.
    Isn't it time that Mountain Lion was working?

    so that means.. from itunes..or not from itunes?
    sounds like 3rd party music then..
    SO i would delete them from the itunes library and re add them to the itunes library.
    TO test this out you should delete ONE SONG or ONE ALBUM and test that ONE SONG or ONE ALBUM only to see if they sync to the device..
    are you using a windows or mac? Updated itunes?
    need details on the Configuration...

  • Has Apple fixed 802.1x security problems with new apps?

    Previous versions of the software are unable to connect to many wi-fi networks due to poor support for enterprise security standards. This means that it is impossible to connect to many corporate or university networks. It also means that I cannot connect in the Air Canada lounges with the DataValet service that I normally use. It makes little sense to buy these apps when the underlying wi-fi service is so crippled.
    Does anyone know if 802.1x is properly supported now?

    Either there's a [secret in 1.1.3 that no one knows about except you|http://digg.com/apple/No802_1x_in_iPhone_patch_1_1_3_Where_is_the_loveApple], or you're confusing [802.1x|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.1x] and [802.11|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/802.11].

  • Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?

    Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig?  IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all.  Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.

    Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?
