Buy iDVD.

With iDVD you can easily and quickly create DVDs with menus and graphics almost on the level of what Hollywood can do.
IDVD is easy to get. It is available on disk as part of iLife 11.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40. (works with all Mac OS 10.5 and newer.)

I have Pages for the iPad and desktop, how can I save it besides the iCloud on my computer and not the iPad?

I have purchased Pages for my desktop iMac and Macbook Air. I also have it on my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. They are all synced through the icloud, but the space is now starting to fill up. (I am the guy asking trivia questions and it fills up with A LOT of questions). BUT, after each week, I can get rid of 3 documents (16 questions per document). So, I have roughly 80 games worth of trivia and half of which I would like to save on my computer. I can pull it up on my computer and it shows that I have that from the icloud, but not on the desktop. I have lots of space on my desktop to save these, but the iPad is not as large for space.
How can I transfer roughly 40 documents (from pages) from the icloud to the desktop, (for permanent storage)? do I have to do each one individually, or is there a select documents you want to move? Then I can delete from ipad as it seems to take up space on both the ipad and the icloud.
Thank you in advance.

Just ignore that post above. I tried to edit it but was too late. Deleting a document from iPad does delete it from iCloud.
Ignore the line 'There is no data limit on iCloud.com so you could keep all your documents on there' because of course then they will sync to your devices and that's not what you want.
Sorry, for the confusion.

iCloud: Remove documents from iCloud
You can also move documents to your computer by opening Pages, select iCloud and all the documents you want to move, and drag them onto your desktop (or folder).

Re: What is "other" memory on my iPad

HT1390 I have downloaded a movie on my MacBook, how do I get onto my iPad automatically? Can I do this?

Hi,
I regularly buy movies and rent through my Apple Tv or iPad, but tomorrow I want show them through a projector for a family party. For ease of connection to the Projector I have bought two movies through my MacBook on iTunes. How can I get these onto my iPad for future use as we use this in the car for the kids on long journeys?
Is there a way of having it set up that they will automatically download to my iPad? I do subscribe to the iCloud for music also.
Or do I just go on my iPad and download them again, or will this mean I get charged twice? Confused...
Thanks for any help,
M

" How can I get these onto my iPad for future use as we use this in the car for the kids on long journeys?"
open itunes, connect ipad, select what you want to sync, sync.

I have a home movie that I want to copy

A friend of mine made a movie on a DVD and I want to copy it. How do I go about doing that?

How do I go about doing that?
It would help to know what you plan to do with the home video and/or how you plan to play it. For instance, you can simply copy the VIDEO_TS folder to your hard drive for playback using the Apple DVD player or Front Row. As Klaus indicated you can creat an image file using Disk Utility and burn the image to DVD or use Toast to copy the DVD to another DVD. However, if you plan to edit the file in iMovie, QT Pro, GarageBand, MPEG Streamclip, or post it to a gallery, web site, etc., then you will need to convert it to a QT compatible compression format using MPEG/AC3 or MPEG/PCM compatible software to retain the audio content.

I have my home movies on VHS, what devices are good for putting them on iMovie, all the devices I have seen are PC only

I want to put video from VHS to iMovie what devices work with a Mac? All the ones I have seen are PC only.

Hi
There are many to chose from and at different prices and functions.
I got an CANOPUS ADVC-300 - now named Grass Valley ADVC-300 - but can only be bought secondhanded as it's discontinued.
AND - it's Expensive !
Still to me it's been of 100% value due to it's functions. It can repair broken TimeBase-Code and that means that I can import a LONG VHS tape recorded in EP-mode and with drop-outs.
Cheaper devices = Import will halt at every drop out frames AND Audio will go out of sync.
• Tedious Baby-sittings when Importing (and multiple re-starting Import)
• Audio goes out of sync. Tedious labor to by hand correct this !
Then my A/D-box also came with some rather advanced Picture Enhancing programs/settings.
So in all - I Love it.
BUT Surely there are much cheaper solutions for those that
• makes short VHS Imports
• New VHS tape Without any Drop-outs (less than a Year old)
• Patience of an Angle
OBSERVE ! - If You talk about BOUGHT VHS-tapes as from Disney - FORGET IT - NO A/D-box can break the CopyProtection. And even a theoretical discussion about this is FORBIDDEN in this Forum - as it is a GLOBAL forum and just the discussion is forbidden in countries as Germany etc.

I have purchased a movie on my iPad how do i put it on my macbook pro

i am giving my ipad away and i want to have the movie on my macbook. But i don't know how to do it

I have a brand new iMac that does not have iDVD. Made a move on iMovie installed a 3rd party burn prog. but DVD won't playback on my regular dvd player. Need to burn one that will. Help!

My new iMac did not come with iDVD as they are not using iDVD any longer. I made a movie that I needed to put on a DVD that would play on any external DVD player. After calling Apple twice, they recommened a 3rd party program so I downloaded "Burn-osx" and made the DVD; however when i insert it into my player connected to the TV it gives the message "disk error --playback feature may not be available on this disk". Ok--now what? I am up against a time line here--need the DVD for a graduation party! Help! What am I not doing correctly?

I have a brand new iMac
If you are still within your 15 day return period. Call Apple they will sent out iDVD at no charge. (There are no realistic substitutes.)
Nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick. You MUST speak to a senior advisor to get a free copy. The first tier people cannot do it.

If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD. IDVD is specifically designed to work with iMovie. Get iDVD.

I have several home page tabs open. How do I close them without closing other tabs?

When I open my home page and go to other web sites, I can close the tabs for those sites but cannot close my home page tab when I finish. How do I close a home page tab while keeping other tabs open?

Have you tried ctrl alt del and force closing Firefox?

Does anyone know how I can transfer VHS home movies from my VHS player via my iMac to a DVD

Does anyone know if 'Dazzle' works with Mac to transfer VHS tapes from a video player to a DVD via an iMac?

Also, I should mention that I spoke to an Apple rep. He sent me a link to download a driver for the Jukebox once we found out that the pc did not recognize the device when I plugged it into the USB port. He told me that once I upload the driver, it will recognize it and I can just copy and paste the songs into a folder, then import them to iTunes. So far it has not worked and when I tried to call back, it looks like morning is the soonest I can speak to someone. So I'm trying on here.

How can I Burn a Simple DVD with Chapters and Menus out of My Home Videos.

I created an iMovie (unsig iMovie 10.0.2) of my daughter's volleyball season. I inserted markers separating each game day, hoping these would create chapters in my DVD. Then I did some research about DVD burning apps and finally downloaded BURN. With Burn I created a DVD, but this DVD did not have chapters and also did not have a customizable menu. The whole movie ended up as one 2 hour long chapter.
I have hundresd of family vacation on a hard drive stored and would like to start making iMovies of them to put on DVD for easy watching and forbackup storing.
What is a simple way I can burn my iMovie with chapters onto a DVD?
My macbook pro did not come with iDVD so I dont have it.
Thanks.

MY source is HD i beleive. I shot videos with an iPad Mini.
I ventured into this because I offered this DVD to several team parents, so they are waiting for me to give them the DVD. While I was making it, I added subtitles, showing the game dates, game scores and stats of each player, so it came out really nice. However, not to concern about quality, i have burt the video in a dual layer dvd in SD. I dont have a blue ray burner nor media.
This made me want to do the same with my family vacations vieeos, whic now are a bunch of files in a hard drive, sort them by vacation and add titles like lications to actualy be abel to watch them on a dvd someday.
I have apple tv in the family room, but do not use to watch these videos, will look into that. However, I would still want to make the DVD's.
It seems odd how this, basic feature, has been dropped. I guess apple does not want us to use any more discs.
Still hoping I can do this, if not, I will have to gie away the DVDs with the 2 hour long video in a single chapter.

After transfering my recorded video to my pc desktop, how can I record to a dvd.

I have transfered some pictures and recorded video of my Grandson onto my ipad2 but I cannot burn the video's I recorded. The video's I transfered to my pc where picked up and labeled as Quick Time. I've gone into Windows Movie Maker and tried to transfer into the program to record but nothing happens. Am I going to need to purchase a seperate program?

You could insert a bunch of placeholders in the timeline before doing the voiceover.
You can find a range of placeholders (they are actually templates used in iMovie Trailers) in the Maps, Backgrounds & Animatics browser. This is the last browser at the end of the centre toolbar, after the Titles and Transitions browsers. Click on it and scroll down to see all the animatics (aka placholders or templates). Drag a number of these into your project timeline - as many as you think you need to cover your audio.
When you've finished the voiceover, drag photos directly onto the animatics and select Replace from the pop-up menu. Adjust the timing by using the Inspector (double-click a photo to open the Inspector, then change the duration).

Home movies on DVD to MAC

I have many home movies I created on my PC and burned to DVD. I would like to 1) transfer from DVD to my MAC for back-up and re-editting. 2) send to iphone via QT X. I purchased the mpg-2 add on and was able to transfer a movie but there was no sound (multiplexed file). I loved the switch to MAC and all my new home videos are great. The problem is working with the old home movie DVDs that I created with Pinnacle Studio on PC. Anyone know the most painless way to do this?

MPEG Streamclip (free).
Export from MPEG-2 to DV Stream (.dv) for use in any version of iMovie.
