How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac ?

How can I create a new folder in Word for Mac?

You don't do this in Word. You do it in the OS X Finder.
All you need do in Word is open the file, then select Save As from Word's File menu. Change the destination to your new folder then click on the Save button.
The Finder method is much faster if you have a number of files you want to move. Just remember that to open those moved files in Word, you will have to change the directory from which you will open those files.

To create a OneStep DVD:
Connect your DV camcorder to your computer and set the camera to VTR, VCR, or Play mode. Turn on your camcorder if it doesn't turn on automatically.
Open iDVD and click the OneStep DVD button. (If iDVD opens to a recent project, choose File > OneStep DVD.)
Insert a recordable DVD disc.
iDVD rewinds the tape in the video camera and captures the video.
------------or-------------
To burn a OneStep DVD from a folder:
Choose File > "OneStep DVD from Movie."
Locate the movie you want to add in the dialog that opens, then click Import.
Insert a blank DVD disc into the optical drive.
This kind of disc is sometimes called "kiosk mode" and is a good way to create demos or other presentations that play automatically and require no user interaction.

How can I create a dvd with NO theme?

I'd like to create a DVD that shows an image of my choice when inserted in player, with one play button start movie. All themes seem to have some moving graphic or fancy stuff.

Hi
Easy is to put movie into AutoPlay box in organizing view in iDVD window (top left most box)
But this ends in a menu - This can be a black photo to simulate No Menu
All themes seem to have some moving graphic or fancy stuff.
No - and especially the old ones. AND by using the mid round button under the iDVD menu window (the one with two semi-circular arrows) You turn off Animation - I always do !

How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously.
Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy. If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well).
Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way". Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

How can I create a DVD image that PC users can retrieve and burn...

I need to create a DVD disc image that PC users can retrieve from a private network share and burn to a blank DVD. Once burned, it needs to auto-start at the Menu. The master works fine. Images burned using the Mac Disk Utility work fine. But I have little control over who will download the image or the method by which they will burn it, so I need to provide visitors with guidance. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Thank Jeff for this one.....

I've also heard that you can just copy an ".img" iDVD image to a pc, change the extension to .iso and then burn with Nero, etc. But I haven't tried it myself.....

How can I create a DVD (not CD) slide show with PSE8. Is the only option CD?

Do I need to upgrade to PSE9 for the DVD option for slide show output?

No, you can't create a video dvd with just PSE, and PSE 9 is no different from any other version where this is concerned. (Adobe wants you to use Premiere Elements.) However, if you have a DVD burner, you must have gotten some kind of software with it that can make a DVD for you. Create your slideshow, output as WMV and then use your other software to burn the actual video disc.

How can you create subtitles just like in movies?

Hi, I recently purchased Final Cut Pro X and I was wondering how to create subtitles just like in movies. Thanks

Does FCP X support subtitles like you see in Blu-ray or DVD? I.e. subtitles for the narrative?
I know you can put titles but subtitles would be something that needs to keep "changing".

How can i create multiple apple ids from the same mac

There seems to be a limit on how many apple ids can be created from the same cpu. Trying to create 100 apple ids for a client to use on ipads distributed to employees i found i could only create three or four before i got the message account cannot be created, contact itunes support. Had the same problem creating multiple itunes accounts through the App Store.

I found this discussion because I need to create dozens of Apple IDs for the faculty and staff of the school for which I'm the IT Director.
This is weak.
Apple, PLEASE upgrade the Apple ID system so it represents the current needs and paradigm.
What am I thinking, Apple (like Google) don't follow user discussion forums, except by accident when an employee sees something and is motivated enough to carry the water for users in need.

How can I download a dvd into I Movie?

I have various dvds of my daughter's dance performances and I would like to compile them and make a movie. How can I download the movies into I movie?

When you start up Handbrake, you will need to identify the source that you are copying. I assume you have an Optical drive by which you can read the DVD. Then it is a matter of clicking on the various options for the copying process, especially insuring you know where the copied file will be. It wil be in an MP4 format, which can then be viewed by Quickplay or QuickTime.. It can be also be imported into iMovie, using the import function under the File menu.

If i edit in final cut pro x, how can i create a dvd

What is the best DVD creator to download to create DVDs from movies edited in Final Cut Pro X?

iDVD gets my top vote - it is no longer available from Apple, but still part of the retail iLife 09 or 11 versions available from online resellers. It offers customizable menus/themes which will give your creation a professional look. It encodes/authors and you can burn directly from it.
Second is Roxio Toast (no customizable menus, but many other features and an excellent burn software).
I've tried DVD creator and found it to be too simplistic. Then there is Burn (free) - it burns.
I use iDVD to "create" and Toast to burn.

I can't convert an imovie project. error code =-50. How can I create a DVD?

I can't export my imovie project. I am getting error code =-50. I am unable to burn to a DVD for presentaion. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help! Stefan

There may be more than one cause for this error, but in most cases the project to be published includes short clips of less than about 1.5 seconds duration.
Duplicate the project. From the duplicate, delete the short clips and try to publish. If that doesn't solve the problem, see the post by Didorx in the thread linked below:

How can I burn a DVD from iMovie from my Mac book pro

Since the new mac book pro does not have a DVD drive and does not come with iDVD, I can't figure out how to burn DVD's from iMovie.
I have the external drive and was under the impression that it would be able to burn DVD as well as play them.
Any help is greatly needed. I have many movies I made in iMovie and need to burn to DVD for players.
Thank you
Goody999

IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

How can I convert a dvd to play on a mac formatted vPod

I would like to put a couple of dvd's on for my daughter?

I guess you will need the QuickTime MPEG-2 playback component from Apple (20$), as well as MPEG Streamclip (free) or QuickTime Pro (30$).
Once you have these tools, I guess you could select the movie in QT Pro, and export as QT Movie (h.264). I don't know if you have to constrain the image to 320 by 240, but I guess yes. As I don't use QT Pro very often, I can't remember how to do it, but it should be possible.
I suppose you could do pretty much the same thing with Streamclip, but I've only used it once ...
You will have to get a ripper such as MacTheRipper to save the DVD to disk and get rid of the different protections.

How can I create a new outlook express account on mac

Hello,
I am trying to find the eqivilent of account settings on my mac book air to create and retreive an outlook express account.
Does anyone know what to do please?

Accounts are normally not email software dependent unless configured to save locally on your computer. If you have a pst file on your PC that is large, you will need to import that. POP accounts are usually locally stored. Otherwise, many server accounts are typically IMAP, or Exchange. So go back to your PCs email software and determine what it is. If it is Outlook for Mac which is the only Outlook you have be clear how it is setup.
