I don't want my DVD to Autostart - how to turn that "feature" off

In the older iMovie - iDVD versions I used - I would create an iMovie - send to iDVD - my menu - by default - would always show up first on a TV. Now in Snow Leopard and the latest iMovie & iDVD - when I share an iMovie - it defaults to autostart and I, for the life of me, cannot see how to turn that off. It does it automatically - I did not drag anything to that first menu spot. I want the DVD to open to my home menu page.
I am sure it is easy, but I do not yet have my head wrapped around the new versions.
Also - can I have some chapter markers that are invisible - not viewable in the menu.
I have a 2 act musical and I would like the users to jump from song to song via "invisible markers".
Thanks for any help.

Hi Charles
Welcome to apple discussions. I'm fairly certain you can meet each of your stated objectives in FCS/DVDSP but not in iDvd alone.
However, you should be able to make the initial menu screen as the very first item that shows up on your finished iDvd project. I know you didn't intentionally drag and drop your movie to the very first box while in map view. Nevertheless, if the movie should default to this box then you have to take it upon yourself to select this first box and hit delete. Stinks, I know. Always check map view prior to burning a dvd as well as the project info capacity meter and encoder settings to make certain everything fits nicely prior to burning. Keep in mind iM'09=>iDvd are consumer apps not pro apps (some on this forum call the process an internet ready application which perhaps isn't entirely off the mark). However, I'll reserve judgment until I've actually used all of the features within iMovie'09 and iDvd.
The latter features you want (like embedded markers) are professional options that require apple's pro apps as opposed to apple's i-apps.

    Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
    You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

    RealPlayer can cause conflicts with Flash Player because it tries to assign EVERY TYPE of video or audio file to itself by default. I haven't used RealPlayer in years for that reason. It's an unnecessary program anymore. There are apps loike VLC media player that cna do EVERYTHING it does without conflicting with other apps like Flash Player.
    With WIndows 8, Microsoft began embedding FlashPlayer themselves into Internet Explorer. Because of that, you cannot download and install it from here. You cannot uninstall it from Internet Explorer without removing a specific Windows Update first. And you cannot update it via this website. ONLY through Windows Update can Flash Player for Internet Explorer be updated.
    That said, you probably DON'T have a virus that's causing the problems with Flash Player and Internet Explorer. Many, many websites are not "recognizing" the browser.
    This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released IE11 The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player.
    So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
    Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
    I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
    Firefox (from Mozilla)
    Opera (from Opera)
    Safari (from Apple)
    Chrome (from Google)
    ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

  • Hello.. I have one problem. I used automator to automaticly sync my photos to iphoto. Now I don't want it any more. How can I disable it?

    Hello.. I have one problem. I used automator to automaticly sync my photos to iphoto. Now I don't want it any more. How can I disable it?

    If you have iPhoto v9.6.1 then just launch it. Done.
    IF you don't, download it:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

    Steven is correct, you never can go back to an earlier version with Adobe Premiere with the project file.  If your preceding version was CC you might try the trial version of CC 2014, but remember that once you enter the trial version cycle you never can go back.
    There was a way to hack the project file on the CS versions but that disappeared with CC.

    Dreamweaver CS3 creates "_notes" directories. I don't want the "_notes" directories. How do I configure DW CS3 to not create those directories?

    No, it makes no difference to Run-time styling.
    A design-time stylesheet is a stylesheet that is only applied to the page as you are working in DW. This is very handy if you have elements on the page which are normally hidden/visible and you want to toggle that visibility while in Design view. Or when you have content that is styled in a way that DW doesn't understand, but the browsers do - you can use a DT stylesheet to modify this styling in Design view only. I'll give you an example -
    There is a metric that is used for font sizing called "rem". A rem is a relative em value - in other words, it specifies the ratio between the actual character size and the size of a base definition for the character size on the page. In previous versions of DW, this metric was not supported. So text content was abnormally large as a result when looking at a page using Design view. A DT stylesheet solves that problem by redefining the character size in px, but only when I am working in DW. Here's a good explanation (http://www.css-tricks.com/rems-ems/)
    You also will lose (I believe) details about which files have been recently synched, and some of your local settings for guides and snap to guides.

  • Help! Going on holiday in 6 hours and I don't know how to turn my iPod off!

    Hey there,
    I'm going on holiday in 6 hours (In an aircraft) and I have an iPod Photo, and I might be stupid but, I'm paranoid about the aircraft crashing, and on top of that, I don't know how to turn my iPod 'off'
    There isn't time to make it turns itself off over 48 hours as I only have 6 >_<
    Does putting it into 'sleep' (Holding down the play/pause for a few seconds) and sliding hold have the same effect as 'off' or as good as?
    Thanks for everyone's precious time and thanks in advance!

    Thanks,
    That really helps my confidence =]

  • Don't want to pollute my ipad how can I selectively transfer data from mac mini?

    I have had users on this computer that have downloaded questioanble resources. I have grandchildren and we like to play on my ipad I do not want any objectionalbe video on this ipad.  I also don't want to make my creative content available for duplication to a user who had hooked up their iphone.  I am attempting to start over with my ipad. I have tried to keep them off the main computer but I need safeguards since the user is opportunistic. They also have a better understanding and advantage I am however an administrator at least as much as much as my husband allows me. I believe this user could still manupulate via wireless or remote with her iphone. I want to stop her completely but I know to challenge this user completely would mean an esculation. I have seen my email with another adress attached . I sometimes put in the exact password and still find for a short period cannot get into e-mail an Apple password  might not work? Is there script I can see that would suggest a problem.

    Your situation is a little bit confusing to me, but I will give this a try. I hope that I fully understand what you are trying to do.
    There is no way that anyone can access your iPad wirelessly or remotely at all. It just is not possible to do that in iOS. Because of the sandboxed nature of the iOS, it will not allow that type of interaction. However, if your iPad has been "polluted" by another user or that user's content, you might want to totally erase the drive and start all over again, and not restore from a backup. Erase it and start all over again completely. You will still be able to download most if not all of your paid content again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you used to make the purchases.
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings will totally wipe the iPad clean and you will have to activate the device all over again. Don't restore from the backup when you get to the point during the activation where you are prompted to do so.
    If you want to download all of your constant again, read this.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store ... - Support - Apple
    Erasing your iPad and starting over again is pretty radical if you are not absolutely sure that this users has really sabotaged the device. Please make sure that you realize what you are doing, and if I am reading the situation incorrectly, please state that in your response.
    What you are saying about this user having access to your computer is certainly concerning and without knowing what the circumstances surrounding her ability to do so, I can only recommend that you discuss this situation with your husband and take steps to prevent her from using it, or at least from using it without you being there to observe.
