How can I fade the first slide in a slideshow in from black?

Novice user here, but I can't seem to find an answer to this question. I've created a couple of slideshow, and have imported them to iDVD to burn the DVDs. When I play the show in iPhoto, they're fine. But when I play a finished DVD (or the demo of the DVD in iDVD), the first slide does not fade in like iPhoto did. It's a really jarring start. I fiddled with Ken Burns effects, but all that seems to do it effect how the slide ends, not how it starts.
How can I start the DVD slide show at black and fade the first slide in, just like iPhoto automatically did?
BTW ... haven't upgrade to the new iLife software yet if that helps.

Hi DogWonder!
if it were me, I think the simplest thing to do is take a photo with the lens cover on the camera, basically a black pic. Now use this one at the beginning of your DVD/Slide Show... or even between slides for a little more drama, if you wanted...
Good luck, Rick

Can't change the first slide in a slideshow

I'm using iPhoto 09, version 8.1.1, (419). When I create a slideshow I am unable to change the first slide in the slideshow. I've tried these alternatives 1) deleted the slide (it won't delete) 2) moving the first slide to follow the second slide 3) moving the second slide to appear before the first slide. In all cases, iPhoto freezes and this requires rebooting iPhoto.
I just experienced this since 12/30. These are moderately sized slideshows (50-200 slides). I am an avid user of iPhoto slideshows and I've never experienced this before. I can't change any of the first slides in about 8 slideshows I've created after Christmas.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is anyone else interested in putting together a comprehensive list of recommended changes to iPhoto? It seems that after each new release old problems are fixed and new ones are created that are pretty basic. I am an avid fan of iPhoto but don't understand why the application can be so quirky. Thanks.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)

How can I disable the 'First Run' and 'Whats New' pages from showing after updating Firefox for all users that log onto a system.

I am a system administrator and need a way to set a global preference to not open the Whats New and first run pages. I found the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone preference in the user profile but want to be able to set this globally.

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

You can't. It's not a user controllable feature.

How can i show the first item in the list as selected item

Aslam o Alikum (Hi)
Dear All
How can i show the first item in the list as selected item when user click on the list. Right now when user click the list the list shows the last item in the list as selected or highlighted. Furthermore if the list item have large no of value and a scroll bar along with it then the list scroll to last item when user click it with mouse. I want that when user click the list item with mouse list should show the first item as highlighted.
Take Care

Hi!
You can set list "initial value" using When-Create-Record trigger.
I.g.
:<Block_name>.<list_item_name> := Get_List_Element_Value('<Block_name>.<list_item_name>', 1);

You need to fix capitalization in Pages Preferences > Auto-Correction. When you select this option, you can just keep typing in lower case and the first letter of the next sentence will automatically promote to upper case.

How can I connect the first generation ipod to macbook air?

How can I connect the first generation ipod to macbook air or macbook pro? Using an adapter?

macbook air
The only theoretical solution is an USB ExpressCard adapter and FireWire ExpressCard. I don't know if anyone's actually attempted it.
macbook pro
A FireWire 400 to 800 cable or adapter, also known as 6 pin to 9 pin.

How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?

Hi,
We have to do some validation on Header, Operation and Relationship of any work order (IW31, IW32). We have checked that validations can be done at BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE in the method u2018AT_SAVEu2019. But user wants us to take the Cursor back to the field and screen due to which the error is coming. How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?
Thanks in Advance,

You 'ran out of room' because you tried to put your entire question into what is the 'Topic line' of the post.
This is a fairly common error, as a scan of the topic list will show, and likely due to a design flaw in the layout of the composition page.
Most posters who make this error do so on their first post, and are able to avoid a similar misstep on their second and subsequent questions.

Hi,
Depending on what attributes you want.
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
#From a txt file
$USERS = Get-Content C:\Temp\USER-LIST.txt
$USERS|Foreach{Get-ADUser $_ -Properties * |Select SAMAccountName, mail, XXXXX}|Export-CSV -Path C:\Temp\USERS-ATTRIBUTES.csv
#or from a csv file
$USERS = Import-CSV C:\Temp\USER-LIST.csv
$USERS|Foreach{Get-ADUser $_.SAMAccountName -Properties * |Select SAMAccountName, mail, XXXXX}|Export-CSV -Path C:\Temp\USERS-ATTRIBUTES.csv

Dear
Gautam Ji<abbr class="affil"></abbr>
Thanks for replying I tried both but it did not work for me instead this command which i extended generated nice results
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Property * | Select-Object Name,Created,createTimeStamp,DistinguishedName,DisplayName,
EmployeeID,EmployeeNumber,Enabled,HomeDirectory,LastBadPasswordAttempt,LastLogonDate,LogonWorkstations,City,Manager,MemberOf,MobilePhone,PasswordLastSet,BadLogonCount,pwdLastSet,SamAccountName,UserPrincipalName,whenCreated,whenChanged
| Export-CSV Allusers.csv -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8
only one problem is that Manager column is generating this outcome rather showing exact name of the line Manager .
CN=Mr XYZ ,OU=Users,OU=IT,OU=Departments,OU=Company ,DC=organization,DC=com,DC=tk

Try Amazon but look for the iWork suite of software. It's only sold separately as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers from the App Store.
