How to make movie in iDVD without themes. iDVD app quitting during burning

I am trying to make movie without themes and still having problems. I have tried using the map view in themes, dragging movie into the first box on left, looping it - but am seeing a yellow error sign in the theme box. Don't know why this is. Have tried to burn movie anyway but iDVD app quits halfway thru. Today I tried just simply going to iDVD >file>onestep DVD from movie>select movie and inserting disc. This seems to be the simple solution I have been looking for to burn a movie without themes but iDVD still quit on me halfway thru burning just now. Is this a space problem? Disc problem? help...

OK F Shippey - Using this computer for anything other than email is pretty new to me. I have just recently began using imovie and idvd. I have burned one idvd and working on a second. While making the movie I was constantly having to delete old footage to make room for space. In other words I don't know much about space and usage. I know that in my new imovie project it says that i have 7.53 Gb available. I know i have a Lacie external with one DVD on it. So what do i need to know about space on a hard drive while using imovie? How do you monitor how much hard drive space you have while working on projects like this? Do I find this info in About This Mac? Sorry for so many dumb questions. Clearly I don't know what I am doing. Thanks for your reply.

I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

I have an iPad that I want to update to IOS 5.1. I have several apps that each were installed using a different iTunes ID. How can I update the IOS without losing the apps?

To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

How can I track my iPod without using an app ?

Hey I lost my iPod touch in school and I think one of my classmates took it how do I track it down without using an app ?

The only way to track it at all is to first have enabled an iCloud account on it before it was lost, with the find my iPod setting in that account's setting panel set to "ON".
If that was done, you can log in to your iCloud account in a web browser and you can try to track it. It must be on, and it must have an active wifi data connection to be trackable.
Without an iCloud account already on it though, there is no way to track it.

How to burn movie in idvd without themes, chapters, etc.....

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.
3. (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.
4. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://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:

hope this helps!

How to make movies open in the center of my screen.

Does anyone know how to make Quicktime open up videos in the center of a screen? When I double click any movie file it pops open in the uppermost far left corner, and I have to drag it down into a more comfortable area. It's annoying with a large monitor.
Thanks

The script writing lobe of my brain was damaged by years of drug abuse, years ago. Try as I might, I can't seem to get it right.
The most common error I get is:
Expected end of line, etc. but found “end tell”.
I tried modeling one of any number of existing scripts but still no dice.
I tried this:
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
set the bounds of window 1 to {235, 58, 944, 590}
end tell
And got this error message: QuickTime Player got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4
I know this is simple but, like I said...

How do I export from imovieHD to idvd without themes?

Hi there. I am still trying to get to grips with imovie, being a relative newcomer to Apple. I have arranged my video footage as I want it in imovie, and now want to burn the DVD, however I just want to keep it as plain footage, ie without the themes and music that you get when you send it to iDVD. I know I am probably being really thick but I can't work out how to do this! Many thanks, Ruth

How do I make multiple iWeb websites without them turning into one?

I made a website with no problems with iWeb. I published it to a folder and uploaded it to my domain host with no problems.
I wanted to make a new, separate stand-alone website with iWeb but I could find no way to do that. When I go to FILE and NEW SITE, it places that in the list of my other website. I created that new site, published it to a new folder, and the two websites became one large one!
I thought iWeb was like MS Word in terms of one program making an indefinite number of independent websites.
How can I do this?
Thanks.

You can certainly use it for general design if it
meets your needs. Its sites can be put on any server
and the different "sites" in the organizer have
distinct urls regardless of where you put them.
Not sure what you mean here. I think you are equating
distinct URL's with distinct Web-Sites. I'm pretty sure most
people wouldn't interpret things that way. By "site" most
people mean just the part after the "://" and before the
next "/". Like www.apple.com is a different site from
www.google.com not www.apple.com/developer is
one site and www.apple.com/discussions is another.
When
you upload from a folder via ftp you can upload only
one site it you want,
That is true. Just because iWeb writes everything
out doesn't mean one has to upload it all. Just takes
a little longer to generate the site. That is a good
workaround.
and you can keep site data
totally separate by using different user accounts or
different Domain files. Here are some tips for other
servers:
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/iwebserver.html
I had a look at this page and think those suggestions are
interesting but not really for me. I'm neither a Web Designer
nor a Deployment Engineer, and mostly only use the iPhoto
publish to homepage feature. I'm just can't get that motivated
about my personal web site. Maybe I'll check out homepage
again.

How to make movie from photos?

Hi all,
I used to make family movies using iMovie and photos from iPhoto.
I have tried to do it again just to find out iMovie doesn't allow me to use photos. Only pieces of camera movies are now used by iMovie.
Do you know any way to import photos to iMovies?
Thanks
Victor

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

How to make Widescreen Videos Display correctly in iDVD?

I shot video with my sony dvcam in 4:3 format. PAL.
I took this video and edited it in iMovie and Exported as follows:
DVCPRO PAL; Aspect: 16x9 25fps.
Size: 720x576 16:9 (i do not preserve aspect ratio).
I take this quicktime movie file and drop it into iDVD using a non Widescreen format menu (but i go ahead and choose it to switch to widescreen when it asks me).
I have 10 small videos i do this too and out of the 10 only 2 actually play in widescreen. The other 8 start off by displaying grey side vertical bars on either side of the screen then proceed to move into a 4:3 aspect.
Why is this happening? Why only 2 work? What is happening to the other 8?
Each of the .mov files i am using display in widescreen when i open and play in QuickTime.
(i have checked using QTPro and all the aspects are set to 1024 x 576 (PAL) for each movie.
Can anyone point me some clues as to what is happening?
THANKS

OK found my solution.
Something in iDVD was not translating the .mov file correctly and not showing my .mov files in proper 16:9 format. It did so with 2 of them but not the other 8.
So i found a work around that made it work perfectly.
I made a new iMovie file in widescreen format. Closed iMovie. Then did a "view contents" function (cntrl click on iMovie file and "view contents"). Next i dropped the 16x9 .mov file into the Media folder. Open the iMovie file again and move the .mov file from the Trash into the Timeline. Save iMovie file. Then i dropped the iMovie file into iDVD and now i have my 16x9 movie with no problem.
I had to make these different aspects and formats because i needed 4 DVDs of each movie:
Fullscreen PAL
Widescreen PAL
Fullscreen NTSC
Widescreen NTSC
Glad i got it all to work out OK.
Also be sure to select the correct fps in the iMovie preferences before making a new iMovie. And deselect the "pillarbox and letterbox" option.

Unable to burn movie to DVD without theme

I created a movie on iMovie and would like to create a DVD without any of the themes offered in iDVD. Don't know or unable to do so.
I finally settled on a theme with one drop zone. However, the trimmed clips I created in iMovie when dropped to the drop zone are untrimmed. I deleted the trimmed sections from the iMovie trash. Still it insists on transfering the whole silly clip. Don't have Quicktime Pro so can't do editing there. Any suggestions before I go crazy over this 4 minute movie!

If you have a copy of Toast 7 you can do it. Create your DVD in iDVD (or in Toast if you like) and save it as a disc image. Open the disc image then select the option in Toast to convert a DVD from a VIDEO_TS folder. You'll then find there's an option to burn the main feature only. Select that and burn a DVD. Worked fine the last time I tried it - when you put the DVD in your DVD player it'll automatically play the movie and stop when it gets to the end which, I think, is what you want to do. The only two downers are that (a) it's a two stage process and (b) you need to buy a copy of Toast. It's really silly that iDVD won't let you do this but then quite a lot about iDVD is silly anyway.

How to transfer movie to IPhone without syncing IPhone

I just bought some digital copies of films. I want them on the IPhone. I do not want to sync my IPhone on this laptop, as it is synced on a different laptop and I don't want to lose any of my 4k photos or music, etc. I just want to put the films on the IPhone. How can I do this in a failproof-no-lose-photos way?
why can't they solve this syncing annoyance? there are gazillions of people having questions and problems with it online..just make it easy! please!

You cannot do this.
You will have to sync the iphone.
Why not put the movies on the computer with which you normally sync?
BTW, you are not addressing Apple here.
