How come my new iMac has got iMovie, iPhoto, garageband, but no idvd software?

hi folks,
new Imac user here. Loving it so far but after spending hours creating a movie on imovies, i come to burn to a dvd and what....no idvd software. Is this right ? My imac is the OS X Lion job.
If this is correct, fine, but does it mean I now have to fork out for ilife 11 which i keep hearing bad things about ?
Or is there another route for me to get my movies on dvd.
I am not totally savvy with system jargon so go easy ha ha !
cheers folks
Craig

Can't you still but iLife 11 with iDVD and iWeb at the Apple Store
I just did a search in the App Store for iDVD the only thing that comes up is a tutorial however if the OP goes to
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC623Z/A/iLife-11?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and purchases iLife 11 it comes with:
iPhoto
iMovie
Garageband
iDVD
iWeb
Interesting enough that seems to be the only way I can find to get iDVD.

  • The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have?

    The new iMac has no cd drive so how do I download software that I have? I have adobe photoshop elements 11 and baboo drawing pad and they both have CDs to install.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The new iMac hasn't got a SuperDrive to insert CDs and DVDs, so you can't install software from CDs and DVDs.
    Instead, you have different ways to install the applications you have on DVDs:
    1. Buy any external optical drive for your Mac and use it to install your applications.
    2. If you have another PC or Mac, you can save the external optical drive cost and use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Note that this may be a bit slow

  • My iMac has created different iPhoto libraries? Why and how can I bring all back to one library?

    My iMac has created seperate iPhoto libraries for some reason. So now I have all my photos seperated amongst 4 libraries.
    Why did iMac do this or what did I do unwittingly that caused this?
    How do I combine all the photos back into just one library?

    Your iMac has not created seperate ;libraries - that can only happen if you direct it done adn only you know what you did.
    What are the names of the 4 libraries?
    what version of iPhoto do you have? Do you have Aperturte? Unless you have iPhoto 9.3 and Apertrue 3.3 or newer the only way to merege libraries is using the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -

  • New imac has only one firewire 800 port?

    Is there a hub or repeater you can use instead of daisy chaining. Can't figure out why my old imac has two firewire ports and the new imac has one. How are others managing multiple hard drives? I wish to use a hub for my firewire connections. What is the best way. thanks

    You can locate Firewire hubs however they are expensive. I have had 3 Firewire 800 external HD's daisy chained together for 3 years that work flawlessly. The drives I have come with 2 FW 800 ports so this is quite easy, there are several top quality external HD's that are similar including:
    OWC Mercury Pro line
    Lacie Quadra D2 line (this is what i have)
    G-Tech G series line
    All of these drives have similar specifications and are all high quality products. I think you will find them to be the most recommended on these forums.
    BTW your old iMac had 1 Firewire port and 1 Firewire 800 port not 2 firewire ports.

  • How to find out how many hours an iMac has been running!

    Is there a way to find out how many hours an iMac has been running? I am thinking of buying a second hand iMac 20' or 21.5' as for space reasons, the actual 27' versions are too big. And of course, all adverts state "hardly never used"!!

    Hi, I think in later OSes I've seen total Machine hours in System Report or such, but on 10.4.11 right know.

    Then you should have iMessage.  Go to Settings > Messages to turn it on and set your Receive At address.  Note that iMessage uses the Messages app... standard texts are gree, iMessages are blue.

  • Dictation on my new iMac has stopped working on both the internal

    Dictation on my new iMac has stopped working on both the internal & external microphones. Any suggestions?

    Does the onscreen microphone come up but it doesn't convert speech to text? Or does the onscreen microphone not appear at all?
    In System Preferences > Dictation & Speech > Dictation, is the microphone set to "Automatic"? You might try setting it to "Internal microphone" to see if it works.
    Have you tried restarting the iMac?

  • My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

    My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

    I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited.  In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items.  I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible.  I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected.  Hope this helps!

    You can try reaching out to iTunes support and see if they can tell you if a purchased code has been redeemed or not, but I don't know if they track that.
    I'm guessing you cannot ask the gift receiver?

    Your Solid State Drive and having enough space inside your Macbook Air & Pro
    Solid State Drive usage premise, or the “more space / upgrade SSD” question
    There have been questions posed and positions taken by many people who are trying to use their Macbook Air or Pro’s solid state drive (SSD) as a mass media storage device, for either pictures, videos, massive music collections or all three combined; but this should not be the working premise of a ‘limited’ SSD and its use.
    In which, it’s the case of those users with either 128GB, 256GB, or even 512GB of internal SSD space, that have or are running “out of space”, that questions are raised. The immediate premise of some users can sometimes be “(how to / if) upgrading my SSD” when in fact in nearly all instances another approach is the logical and sensible one that needs to be looked into and exercised.
    Any Macbook containing a SSD should be idealized as a ‘working platform’ notebook containing all your applications, documents, and weekly or bi-weekly necessary files. All collections of media files such as pictures, music, and videos, unless directly needed should be kept off the notebook and on an external hard drive or likewise. While the ‘working platform’ premise is also the case with larger internal conventional hard drives of 1TB+, its implementation isn't as critical except in terms of data protection.
    Realistically, you should at most coordinate roughly 20 to 25% of your total SSD space to all audio-video personal use media (picture / music / video collections), leaving the remaining amount on an external HD.
    Nobody should consider any notebook a data storage device at any time under any circumstance, rather a data creation, sending, and manipulation device; and in the case of a SSD, this is more important for purposes of having sufficient working space on the SSD and reducing SSD ‘bloat’ in which cases someone is wrongly attempting to use the SSD space as a large media storage nexus.
    The rare exception to the collective usage and premise of SSD use in which a much larger SSD is truly needed are for those in video and photography professions that require both the extremely fast speeds of the SSD and the onboard storage for large and or many video and photography files. However this also falls under the premise of a ‘working platform’ for such peoples rather than the intent of many who are using the SSD as passive and static data storage for media files very infrequently needed or accessed.
    All on-notebook data collections should be logically approached as to necessity, and evaluated as to whether it is active or passive data that likely doesn’t need to be on the notebook, allocations of space-percentages to as-needed work and use, apportioning space for your entertainment media, and questioning whether it should it be on the notebook for more than short-term consumption.
    Considerations should be made in the mind of any user in differentiating the necessary system data (System hub) comprising the Mac OSX, applications, necessary documents that both must and should be on your internal SSD, and that of the users personal data (Data hub) comprising created files, pictures, music, videos, PDF files, data created or being created and otherwise, that likely unless being used soon or often should be parked on an external hard drive for consumption, or temporarily loading onto the internal SSD.
    You both can and should purchase whichever SSD size you need or see fit, but even in the case of the largest of SSD, unless use-considerations are made, and SSD spaces are allocated as should be the case indicated above, one can easily and immediately run into this quandary of “needing more internal SSD space”, in which instance a different approach in usage must then be implemented.
    However it is almost always the case, that such large media files are wanted to be stored internally rather than actually needed, in which case the external HD is both prudent as well as necessary. Additionally costs per MB are infinitely less on an external HD than an internal SSD in any consideration of data expansion needs.
    A Professional Example
    In the case of a Macbook Air or Macbook Pro Retina with ‘limited’ storage on the SSD, this distinction becomes more important in that in an ever rapidly increasing file-size world, you keep vital large media files, pics, video, PDF collections, music off your SSD and archived on external storage, for sake of the necessary room for your system to have free space to operate, store future applications and general workspace. 
    You should also never be put in the position of considering “deleting things” on your Macbook SSD in order to ‘make space’. This is especially what your external HD is for.
    Professionals who create and import very large amounts of data have almost no change in the available space on their notebooks internal SSD because they are constantly archiving data to arrays of external or networked HD.
    Or in the case of the consumer this means you keep folders for large imported or created data and you ritually offload and archive this data for safekeeping, not only to safeguard the data in case your Macbook has a SSD crash, or gets stolen, but importantly in keeping the ‘breathing room’ open for your notebook to operate, expand, create files, add applications, for your APPS to create temp files, and for general operation.
    Slim USB3 1TB external hard drive
    External Hard Drives
    External hard drives are both extremely cheap and regardless of the size of your internal SSD (or even internal hard drive if the case), you need an external hard drive with your SSD equipped Macbook for several reasons:
    1. Data backup and protection.
    2. Redundancy for important data.
    3. Necessitated ideal space for large media files for collections of pictures, videos, and music etc.
    While ever changing in price, typical portable 2.5” external hard drives in USB3 run roughly $65 for 1TB or $120 for 2TB small portable USB3 hard drives. Such drives range in thickness between 5mm and 15mm, with recent improvements in storage of 500GB drives in 5mm profiles.
    There is almost no premise in which a small 12mm thick 1 Terabyte USB hard drive cannot be taken along with any Macbook as an external large storage extension inside any Macbook carry case or pouch. Typically such external HD profiles are not much bigger than a deck of cards.
    External hard drives are a foregone necessity for purchase with any Macbook for at the very least Time Machine backups, data redundancies, and ideally for large media storage.
