A few months ago, I purchased a new iMac. I recently created a movie using iMovie. Then I found out that iDVD is not included. So I have the problem that I want to burn a movie that I can play on my DVD player and watch on a television. I rang Applecare and was told that I need a program called BURN.
Is this correct? I can export the movie from iMovie in a m4v format, but I think I need to convert this to iso format before I can burn the disc.
I know there are programs like TOAST that will do this, but it is expensive.
I would be very grateful for any assistance.Burn will not do what you want, and there is no real substutute for iDVD.
Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that came with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past. -

I am the administrator of my iMac with other family members having accts.
One members acct. is grayed out and cannot be accessed by anyone except him.
I had put parental controls on it but now I cannot access it or change anything.
I don't have permission.??These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

I used to be able to connect my 3GS iphone to my computer, select photos from my phone to transfer with no problem. Now, I can't see any of my photos in my phone. please help.

Okay lets check few things. Tell me what you can see that is similar to mine. I'll be travelling today so I have soem time now and later tonight ... just so you don't thing I've "gone awol".
1. In iTunes, Preferences > Device Preferences if you want manual then you should set the iPhone from syncing automatically
2. Also check you have music in your iTunes Library
3. Then on your device tab =Music you select Sync Music, slect your playlists annd then select apply in the lower right corner.

I have an older MacBook Pro (circa 2009). Lately I've noticed my volume button is grayed out and I cannot adjust it. I've tried rebooting. Sometimes it becomes available to use and other times not. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!
Reset the SMC. Check the Audio Midi Setup utility. If connected to an external display that has audio, that may have hijacked the audio.

ITunes transferred playlists grayed out and not working
OK so I've transferred my old iTunes files from the old computer to the new one. iTunes is now correctly displaying all of my playlists however they are grayed out and I can't access any of the songs. Anyone know why?
I found the answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15129510#15129510
"Is your computer authorized: Store>Authorize this Computer? Apps restricted in parental controls: iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Parental? Restricted on your phone: Settings>General>Restrictions(are they on?)>Installing Apps>Off?"
Restrictions was on in my iPod. As soon as I turned that off, every was good to go. -
I have 2 computers (1 Pc and 1 MAC) and 1 Iphone.The I phone is synchronised with the PC. I want to synchronised it also with my MAC, without erasing all my music and files. Someone can help me to find the answer ?
i have already try the copy/paste thing with the ID of the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" it didn't change a thing. each time I relaunched Itunes, the ID is the first I have in the MAC.
I have more than 5 000 files of music. I don't want to recreate one by one all my playlits.
Many thnaks for your answers.
ConstanceYou can sync iphone with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer. There is no way around this.
Put everything on one computer and sync from there.
BTW, you posted in the Home Share forum. Your question seems to have nothing to do with home share. -
My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So, we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance
If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

I have a 3GS iphone. It was jailbroken and working alright.But I was not able to upgrade its IOS frrom 4.0.1 to higher versions and many applicatopns were not compatible with this version of the IOS. So I decided to do a factory unlocking. From an website, based in Mumbai, I unlocked it. When I check now in different websites from my IMEI number, my iphone is unlocked. So I became happy that I can now upgrade my iphone. But the events turned to be different.When I connected to iTunes, iTunes stopped working and my iphone did not appear in the iTunes. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes after cleaning previous registry of all relatedd components like Quicktime, Bejour,Apple software updates and mobile softwares. I also used msconfig to troubleshoot conflicts in software of Windows 7 ultimate but still my iTunes is not working, when I connect the iphone. If I do not connect the iphone, iTunes is working alright. Can any friend give me some advice how to proceed. I do not like comments like Jailbreaking is illegal and should not have been done. Please advice me what should I do right now. Thanking you all and expecting some valuable suggestions from this expert community.
There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

What's changed between the the 3GS iPhone and the iTouch?
Got a 3GS iPhone to replace my iTouch, but here's what no one ever told me...
I always synced my iTouch at home ( Mac G5 ) , where my full iTunes library resides on an external drive. I used to take my iTouch to my work computer in my office ( Mac G5 ) hook the USB connector to that computer and charge my iTouch and play songs through my big loud computer stereo system. No songs or iTunes data is on my computer at work. It is a work computer. Both machines are set to manually manege everything, and automatic syncing is turned off in the prefs of both iTunes apps.
My new iPhone, however, will not let me play the songs on my work computer. It geys the songs out, and only if I sync it with my empty iTunes library will it let me get to the songs I have loaded on the iPhone, which are ALL SONGS I HAVE PURCHASED CD's of and and made mp3's.
It seems Apple is now dictating how my legitimately purchased music is being used as well.. Is this true, or am I missing something?
If this is a new DRM nonsense built into the iPhone, well fine. Then tell me where I can get a dock that charges the iPhone and has audio and video cables to hook up to my stereo/AV amp directly.
I tried an earlier dock model that worked on he iTouch, but the 3GS iPhone said it wasn't compatible for playing or charging.
Love the phone, but, come on here... Thanx -KKWell, I can see how this could work, but It presents a problem for me. A) My iTunes library is approaching 100 gig, and b) I only want to sync up in one location. I know that the external drive can be that location, but...
Here's the thing. I also am a stubborn guy, and when I spend as much money on compter stuff as I do ( I'm surrounded by it ) I don't always want to feel that I need to invent a workaround because I don't fit into the traditional sales model.. I know this is a bit dousche-ie about this, but my big point is that Apple is now telling my how I can use my legitimately purchased music. It makes me want to go out and pirate stuff just out of spite. But instead, I'll play by the rules and that buys me the God given right to ***** about little things like spending more money for a device and getting less service back in return!
I think the dock will work OK for me, but thanks for the feedback.

I am one of the many that ordered my iPhone 6 almost 4 weeks ago and still don't know if it will ship on time. I noticed that a few of my local Target's have the phone I ordered/want in stock, can I go and "Edge Up" there instead?
You can, but be sure you actually read their version of the contract and terms of use. Lots of surpises in there with a lot of 3rd party retailers, and make sure you pay cash since Target is know for credit card vulnerability

I have a ipod shuffle synced to a desktop (ver 9), I have a new laptop and downloaded itunes (ver 10.7). When i plug the ipod in the new laptop it wants to delete my songs. How do i use my new alptop and ipod together?
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
