Here's a new one for you

Been having nothing but problems with idvd 08 in the past couple of days. The old won't open problem. Did the usual suggested fixes including a new user account. Also did "Old Toad's" preference fix. Can now open idvd but when I go to an existing project and open it, I get the first page menus and nothing else so try to reload the movie into the project and it kicks it back out(??).
Do I need to re-install idvd 08 and if so, what prefs etc do I delete?
Also one other question . . . if I have a project that exceeds the 4.2 capacity, can I burn it on a dual layer using the dual layer setting to accommodate the size of the file?
thanks in advance for any input

so try to reload the movie into the project and it kicks it back out(??).
Check to see if the movie you wish to import is supported by iDVD. This is from Help:
_Video and image formats that work with iDVD_
You can use these movie and graphic formats in iDVD:
◼
Most video or image files supported by QuickTime (see the list of unsupported QuickTime formats below)
◼
16:9 widescreen formats
◼
AAC, MP3, and AIFF audio files
◼
Any format from iMovie: DV, high-definition video (HDV), MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-2 SD, MPEG-4 SD, MPEG-4 HD, and AVCHD
High definition video is converted to work with the format of your project. iDVD supports using 16:9 widescreen video; therefore, when your DVD plays on a DVD player that supports widescreen format, the footage appears in its original aspect ratio.
The following video and image formats are not supported in iDVD:
◼
Copyrighted or protected videos.
◼
Movies saved in thousands of colors using the “none” compression setting in iMovie.
◼
48-bit color images (16 bits per color). To use source files in one of these formats in iDVD, save them in a supported format.
◼
Aurora uncompressed files. For best results, export Aurora clips as DV-format video before importing them into iDVD.
◼
QuickTime VR, MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, Flash, streaming or encrypted movies, or QuickTime spanned movies. You can’t add MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 files to an iDVD project because they don’t contain standard video tracks.
◼
QuickTime Fast Start movies. (Fast Start movies are intended for Internet playback.) When saving a QuickTime movie for use with iDVD, click the Options button in the QuickTime Export dialog and make sure that the “Prepare for Internet Streaming” checkbox is not selected.

Here's a different one for you...

I have an original iphone which i have had very little, if any problems. I updated to the 2.0.2 software that came out recently and everything was once again going fine. Here's where it gets interesting.
Two days ago, the bottom row of icons (phone, mail, safari, ipod) stopped responding. All of the other icons on both screen pages work fine. The "slide to unlock" works fine. I have noticed when I go to settings, the bottom icon doesn't respond in any screen either. Luckily, I can still use the phone through contacts and can still receive calls, but with no luck using the "end call" button.
I've read several of the posts in these discussions and have tried the reset, hard reset, restore, reinstall of 2.0.2. I know I'm not crazy, these icons don't work! Anyone out there ever had this happen or have any suggestions?

I would suggest an appointment at the Genius Bar and see what they can do for you.

HP Officejet Pro L7580- here's a new one for HP Mac Architect

So like all the other disgruntled HP users who foolishly installed 10.5 when it was released, I have been without a scanner ever since. Until three days ago, however, I've been able to print, as the driver for the L7580 was included in Leopard. Now, whenever I try to print a document, the print queue opens and the job says "stopped", which, incidentally, is the same thing that happens when I send a print job to my other once-was-a-printer-now-just-a-giant-waste-of-space, the Canon LBP5000. I've racked my brain trying to think if I've done something to trigger this, pestered the HP call in support center, installed, uninstalled and installed the printer again, restarted, replaced the USB cable- anything I can think of. Nothing works. I run a small business and while it's been a huge inconvenience to lose my not so inexpensive scanner, I've made due with an old one waiting for HP to get their act together and release software that actually works with 10.5. Needless to say, I cannot work without a printer. Am I going to have to go back to Tiger now? Spend untold thousands of dollars on a printer that probably won't work with leopard anyway? Can anyone advise? HP Mac Architect?

Try this for a Quick Fix ...........
After reading other forum comments from people having the same problem with the yellow cartridge popping-out, combined with others who have realised that HP have no interest in compensating anyone for this rediculous example of, at best, 'bad design', or at worst 'blatent planned obsolescence', I have created a 'quick fix' that may add another 1, 2 or more years of life to the HP Officejet Pro L7580 Printer.
This is not the elegant technical solution I was hoping for. However, in hindsight, it may prove to be a more reliable solution than replacing the faulty part that is actually causing the problem. So, here it is the Quick Fix ........
I found a wooden triangular door stop that I cut to size that fitted exactly in the space between the plastic door and the offending yellow cartridge. To hold it in place, I wrapped the doorstop with 2" cellotape, then I stuck the door stop to the inside of the plastic door with double sided cellotape (double sided stick-on foam would also work well). With the doorstop in the correct place, the plastic door closed perfectly and was snug enough to apply sufficent pressure to the offending yellow cartridge, and hence stopping it from popping out again. To make sure the plastic door does not 'fly open' with the pressure of the yellow cartridge (when it wants to pop out!), I applied another piece of 2" cellotape around the outside of the door, holding it to the body of the photocopier.
This exercise only took 10-15 mins to do. I feel this is a much better option than spending another $300+ on a new All-in-One system, as well as being a good environmental solution. If this is DELIBERATE 'planned obsolescence', companies like HP need to be more accountable for, at best, 'sloppy design'. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Ok here is a good one for you all

So here is the problem.
We use PPTP VPN for our Exe's at my company and most of them are using airbooks or power books now.
They also use the ATT USB Mercury/ATT USB lighting cards for in emergency no network connection while traveling.
10.5 - all works great no issues ... ATT cards VPN no issues
10.6 - ATT cards work fine to get to the internet but as soon as you fire up the vpn connection and get connected to the vpn all traffic stops no internet and no intranet access. ( we send all traffic over the PPTP connections )
Both are connected and with out errors .. sometimes if you wait 30 minutes it all starts working , disconnect and re try nada.
I have upgraded firmware in the ATT cards , using the new 3Gwatcher application provided by sierra wireless and still nothing.
The PPTP works fine form home wireless , hotels , hot-spots seems to be related to the att cards form all the troubleshooting I am doing
Anyone have any thoughts - i did send a support ticket into sierra for some help to but I figured maybe you guys have seen this and no a fix or solution

I have no expertise with VPN, but here are some links that may help you. Two of them are related to Cisco VPN which may or may not be relevant to you, but you did not mention whether you were using Cisco VPN.

Here's a tough one for you.....

Does anyone have knowledge of whether or not it is possible to start a LabVIEW program (run when opened), bring it to the front and display it full screen, and then shutdown certain windows components behind it such as explorer, and ther various services, so that it remains running the VI but opens up as much system resources for LabVIEW as possible?
I would like to start a VI and isolate it from the rest of the windows environment if possible (obviously not things like max, etc. though).
Thanks,
Jonathan

You could try making your VI the shell application, but I'm not sure whether it will completely take over window, or just replace explorer (probably the latter).
You could also try some of Ben's suggestions here for improving performance.

Here's a new glich for you...

Recently I've been having the same problems as a lot of people on here (Safari crashing, etc) however today my Touch had a glich that makes absolutely no sense to me. I was listening to my music, and while it was on hold, switched to the next song. The music stopped playing, and I got my wallpaper screen as if I had paused the music. When I unlocked it, I was brought to a "Playlists" screen that looked just like the Music browsing area, except on the bottom it was Playlists, Artists, Albums, VIDEOS. I've never seen this before! It was as if it was showing me a library of ALL my content, not just music or just video. I opened up a song and started listening again, and then I went to adjust the volume and A VOLUME GRAPHIC (similar to the one seen on any Macbook) appeared in the middle of the screen, with increasing bars below it as I raised the volume. As soon as I skipped to the next song it was gone and now I haven't been able to find it or the "Playlists" screen since. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

I think what happened is your ipod somehow launched the ipod application that exists on the iPhone. When you launch the ipod app on the iphone on the bottom it shows playlists, artists, albums and videos by default. After all, the iphone and ipod have the exact same software minus a few apps, so it doesn't surprise me that something like this could happen.

I Have my own Apple ID on my computer and would like to create a new one for my mum on my computer so I can transfer all her contacts etc. How do I do this ?

You can create a new iTunes account on your computer's iTunes or you can do it via http://appleid.apple.com : iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
If you don't want to give credit card details before the account can be used in the iTunes store then follow the instructions on this page : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

No, it's done on the computer, it's just done on the web and not through iTunes. I guess you could do it on the iPhone, but it would be easier to do on the computer.
Just go to the site linked above, then click on the big blue button and fill out the neccessary information.

Apple has just deleted my alias - which I was using as my main email address. They deny me creating a new one for 7 days. How can I get in touch with Apple so that they repair what they have broken?

Has anyone had a problems with their alias today?
Apple has deleted mine today; causing me a major headache as they deleted the alias that I use as my main email address.
What happened exactly, is that the @icloud.com alias remained, but the @me.com disapeared. So that the John.Smith alias became valid only for [email protected], but [email protected] disapeared.
To try to restore the situation, I deleted the alias, with the hope of re-creating it: but bad luck, that option is not open to me as I have had 5 aliases active till today, and they now only give you 3, and even once I had deleted 2, they would not allow me to set-up a new one for 7 DAYS.
I can't be without email for 7DAYS, care of Apple. Calling AppleCare does not seem to help, and the line gets dropped once I have explained the problem.
Please help me raise someone at Apple to fix this.
Alain

Time Machine must create a new backup for you

getting this error message Time Machine completed a verification of your backups. To improve reliability, Time Machine must create a new backup for you. don't want to lose the history off my backups how can i fix this without losing any backups.

You really can't.
That's not one of Apple's clearest messages; it means your backups are damaged beyond OSX's ability to repair them. See #C13 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting for details.

ITunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username. How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?

iTunes will not show my purchases before October 18, when I had a different username. How do I get the older purchases (more than 5,000) listed when my password is rejected and it won't issue a new one for that username?

Wow that was really quick, thank you so much. Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it. I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names. isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,
