I was burning some dvds and then suddenly iDVD days that I have no superdrive.

The System profiler also no longer recognizes any sort of disc writer. I've restarted my computer, and it still doesn't work. How do I fix this? I have a 24 imac from august 2010, the last model of imacs that came in 24-inch models rather than 27.

Hi
Is it an old - Tray-loading DVD or is it a new - Slot loading one.
If New Slot loading (just like a narrow slit) - and the disk was about 6 cm in diameter (not 12 as normal Audio-CDs)
Then I would go to an Apple Store and get help - as trying with mild force to get it out - might most probably HARM the DVD-burner/player mechanism. Expencive Repair.

After making a movie and wanting to burn a DVD, I go for iDVD in the 'DEEL' menu. Then I get the question ' where is iDVD? What is the problem?

What is the problem? I cannot find iDVD in the programs map.

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth 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. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:

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 comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come 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.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

I create a project w/iMovie and I have two problems: When I try to finalize the project iMovie crashes; when I share to DVD sometimes it crashes also; if I can successfully send it to DVD and then burn a DVD there are wavy lines on the screen. Help!

You can split a project in two by doing this.
1) Go to the Project Library View.
2) Select your project, and click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT. Give it a name like "your project name - part 1".
3) Do this again. This time name it "your project name - part 2"
4) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the second half.
5) Open Part 1 for editing. Delete everything in the first half of the project.
At the end you should have your original project, plus the same project in two parts.

My laptop turns on, reaches the desktop and then suddenly fades to black as if it was put to sleep but never comes back to life until I turn it off and on again.

Hi runner_girl7585,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If you weren't ever able to watch your rental movie, you can report this to the iTunes Store:

My Mac only shows Apple logo at start and then suddenly off

Dear all,
I am freaking out right now. I tried to turn on my iMac. It firstly showed the Apple logo on grey screen. Loading logo appeared below and then suddenly my iMac was off. Any idea what happened?
Wahyu

No, but it sounds like a hardware issue or perhaps a bad hard drive.
If you boot in verbose mode (hold down command-V at boot) do you see some words that indicate where in the process it's failing?

I can't burn a dvd using any method, Idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when i click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac

I can't burn a dvd using any method, idvd tells me that my super drive is missing, dvd studio pro quits when i click burn and disk utility keeps spitting the disk out when I click burn and enter the disk??? how do i repair my superdrive for imac, or how do I do whatever I need to do to get it working: I have already tried using a lens cleaning cd and also restored my nvram or something i forget what it was called but i restarted my computer holding down command+optoion+p+r and still nothing???
Free solutions are the best, although if I have to pay I will, I would prefer to not have to buy an external burner if possible and already know that is an option so please don't give me that answer... thank you for any help you can give

Unless your iMac is still covered by AppleCare, get an external DVD burner.
You can get perfectly good ones from Amazon for less than $40.

Any solutions to itunes launching with windows 8? it was working fine yesterday when i was burning cd's and now it won't even open :-///

help .. i'm not techy so i'm not sure where to turn. I downloaded an updated 64 bit for my laptop that has windows 8 when my itunes wouldn't launch .. yesterday i was burning some cd's for a friend and it was working just fine. today as i attempted to launch itunes . it does nothing at all .. did i make a mistake by downloading an updated version? should i uninstall and re-install? help .. this *** ..

No, not paired to anything else, fresh out the box connected to the mac mini I bought at the same time, never been paired with anything else.
I think it's a hardware issue. As I don't seem to be able to get it to turn off.

I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back?

I connected my friends ipod to my laptop whilst I was playing some songs and closed whatever came up on the screen from itunes. Next thing I know his ipod has been wiped and we can't find his music. How do we get his music back? He hasn't got his laptop anymore so the only music he has was on his ipod.

Hasn't he got a backup of his content on external drives and/or CDs or DVDs ?

I was sending a text and then the screen went blank with the white apple. I turned my iphone back on and all my texts and contacts were gone. How can i get my text messages back?

My friend was sending a text with a pic as an attachment and then suddenly, she got a blank screen with the white apple logo and it then shut off. When she turned it back on, she discovered all her texts and her contacts were missing. How can she get them back? She's got a iOS 4.3.5 with a 16GB iPhone 4.

Connect to the computer she regularly syncs to, right click on the iPhone's name in iTunes, and choose "restore from backup".

TS1702 Re: Notes App. I opened Notes, then opened a particular note. It opened briefly, and then suddenly several notes, from the past two weeks, just disappeared. Is this a known glitch, and is there any way to retrieve or restore these lost notes?

The other day i deleted my email accounts off of my ipod and only reloaded a few of them. today i looked at my notes to look at a project i had typed on my notes because i didnt have paper and pen around to write it and i didnt want to froget. I reloaded the rest of my emails in hope that everything would reappear but sadly only some of them from 2010 loaded. Recently i had update some of the files and they were like they were when i first created them there were alos ones that i had deleted long ago. There are other notes i had made that were really important to me to andi wouldn't be able to remember every single one. Help Please!

I want to burn a DVD and keep the pictures in the files

I am using iPhoto 8. I have 46 albums that I created for one vacation. I have organized all of the pictures from 5 cameras and want to burn a DVD keeping the pictures in those albums so others can create a slideshow from them. When I burned a DVD the files did not show up, so all of the work was for nothing. How can I burn the DVD and keep the files intact so other people do not need to do the same work that I have already completed?

As Terence mentioned for those with Macs and iPhoto select the albums you've created and use the Share ➙ Burn menu option. This will create a mini library on the disk that others can view in iPhoto and run slideshows from the photos in the album or copy those albums into their library for more control.

Audition CC: Playback works fine and then suddenly goes silent?

Audition has been working fine until just now. When I hit the spacebar/play button, it will play normally for a while and then suddenly go silent. The tracker keeps moving and the timer keeps going but there is no sound. Occasionally, the sound comes back on. Also, if I pause it once it goes silent, wait a few seconds, and then hit play, it starts working again, but will then go silent later on.
Any idea what is going on?
I am using earbuds, if that helps at all.
Thanks,

This sounds frighteningly like a problem I had--except I described it as sounding like an old 78 record rather than tape.
What interface and driver are you using?
In my case, the problem was intermittent but gradually became more frequent. It also occurred in Premiere Pro and, in that programme it eventually became almost every time.
In desperation, I finally tried changing the device class of my interface (an M Audio M Track) to MME and the problem immediately went away, pointing the finger very much at the ASIO drivers I'd been using. However, these had been rock solid for ages (and not changed) so I put it down to a problem between the drivers and one of the all-to-frequent Windows "updates".
Fortunately, the latency issues of MME weren't an issue for me--I have a different interface for multitrack work.
However, the kicker in this tail is that, a couple of weeks ago (after a few more Windows updates) the problem suddenly went away (I'd also reinstalled the ASIO driver but, as I'd done that before, dunno if that played a role).
Anyway, long and convoluted, but it might be worth trying MME even if only as an experiment. If that fixes it, a bug report to your interface manufacturer might be in order.

HT1725 I was downloading some songs and iTunes shut down.

I was downloading some songs and iTunes shut down. It says I've purchased a song but it isn't in my purchased playlist, but it charged me for it. How do I get the song, or get my money back?

You've tried the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option on your computer's iTunes, and does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes ?
If not then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
