IDVD 7 (iLife 08) can't see movies in Movies folder

After making a movie in iMovie HD 06 then sending it to iDVD 7, (since I've upgraded to iLife 08), iDVD can't see any movies in the Movies folder. (It does see a folder within the Movies folder so I know it's searching the right folder.) It does see movies in the iMovie 07 folder, in iPhoto and in iTunes, but seems to hang with the "Loading movies..." message showing when the Movies folder is selected.
(Before upgrading to iLife 08 there was no problem with the old iDVD.) Also, please note that I use iMovie HD 6, not iMovie 7 that comes with iLife 08.
I've even ADDED the Movies folder to iDVD's preferences for searching even though preferences are to search the Movies folder automatically. Even the 2nd reference to the Movies folder does not result in any movies being seen. There are numerous files in the Movies folder, .mov, .avi, .agp and others. Any advice would be appreciated!

Your post is a little confusing.
iDVD project files are created by iDVD. iMovie doesn't open them.
Do you mean that projects you created in iDVD 06 can't be opened by the new iDVD included in iLife 08? Or do you mean that projects you created in iMovie HD can't be opened by the new iMove included in iLife 08?
I know that my iMovie HD projects were not imported correctly by the new iMovie. In fact, Apple has offered iMovie HD as a free download for people who bought iLife 08. So I would keep my old iMovie projects for iMovie HD and download and reinstall it if you copied over it when you installed iLife 08.
Not sure what to do if your old iDVD projects can't be opened by the new iDVD. If that's your problem, then you should probably start a new topic with that as the heading for further assistance.

Hi,
Check your Editing preferences in the organizer (Edit -> Preferences -> Editing)
Ensure that both editors are selected - the Instant Movie should then show up under Create.

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

How can i see "recently added movies" on my apple tv?

On my apple TV 1 st generation, i had the option to view the "recently added movies" on the apple TV menu. Now that i have the apple TV second generation, I DO NOT see this option but i can still see the option "genre, unwatched, by movie". Is there anyone who can help me out on this one? (By the way i had to move all my movies from one hard drive to another, maybe it's something to do with that?)

I think I see now you mention playlists. You can create a smart playlist in iTunes and access it from the Apple TV, this would appear in the nested section under playlists though rather than in the three viewing options at the top of the movie listings. Before you can view playlists you need to enable playlists in the settings.

Can't see my itunes movies...

I've done a search but can't find my answer to this question. How can you view your movies? I created movies in iMovie and shared them with iTunes. When I click on 'movies' in itunes I see my movies, but when I play them I only hear sound; I can't see the movie...I have a feeling there is a simple solution to this??
Thanks!

What version of iMovie, and iTunes are you running?
I am running iMovie 7.1.4, and iTunes 8.0.1...
When i repeat the steps you listed above, i get a dialog box that pops up asking which size movie you want...Options being:
Tiny: (176x144) to play on iPhone
Mobile: (480x272) to play on iPhone, or Computer.
Medium: (640x360) to play on iPod, Apple TV, or Computer...and last
Large: (960x540) to play on Apple TV or Computer.
Which of these options did you select?
If you are viewing this on your computer, you either need Mobile, Medium, or Large.
My options i picked were Mobile (so i can view it on iPhone - but too small for viewing on computer), and also Large.
When i published it, it opened in iTunes and i was able to successfully play, watch, and listen to my movies.
Another thing you can do is to NOT Share with iTunes, but instead Share>Export Movie (Command E in iMovie) - select your saved destination....
When i did this, it saved it as a .m4v file.....
.m4v files also play in iTunes so you should be able to just drag it in iTunes and it should play that way as well...
Hope this helps!

Manual Migration to Mountain Lion: but can't see the home library folder.

Hi,
This is my first post in the Apple support community.
I'm moving from iMac running Snow Leopard to my MacBook Pro retina running Mountain Lion.
I only want to move what I really need, and leave all the old software and old files behind.
I put the MacBook Pro in target disc mode and started moving things through a FireWire 800 cable, connected to a Thunderbolt port through an Apple adapter.
Until I came to the items in the home library folder to move - and, of course - I couldn't see the home library folder on my retina MacBook Pro.
The key question is: can I make it visible for the time of the move?
Should I put the old iMac in target disc mode and handle the move from the retina Macbook Pro side and unhide the library folder using the Command + Shift + G keystroke?
Or are the days of manual migration over due to the hidden home library folder?
Applecare support noted I should use the migration assistant, and that I could chose the files I wanted to move.
Can you really do it in such a detail as during a manual migration?
Thanks!

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Library/ as the path.

TB can't see messages in a folder -and/or attachments get lost

I solved this awkwardly (but only for seeing the mail body- not for retrieving attachments)
, but it may help others.
i have messages in inbox with wdseml type.
i have re-indexed after deleting global-messages sqlite, and they still can't be found.
I also re-installed (31) and re-indexed today.
Originally i noticed the problem when i was searching and when i clicked on a message to view it the content was missing even though the subject was found.
Then i noticed that all messages from June 6 to Sept 15 had the problem for 1 inbox. All i can recall that might be relevant is that i may have compacted the db about then, or moved messages from one folder to another or both.
Following on another tip, i tried to repair the file under tools. Then all of those messages (550) in the date range disappeared from the search facility as well.
Ok, my solution.
Deep in Appdata for your user id under Roaming..Thunderbird..Profiles..Mail you will find your Inbox or whatever it is that TB can't see.
These in later releases have type *.wdseml;
On the top right of your TB there is a pull down one of which is Tools and therein you find Import/Export
(come to think of it, i think it is an add-in i found and installed some time back, sorry can't remember)
The tool offers you the ability to import files of type *.eml, but not *.wdseml
You have to copy those files to a new folder with a name like C:/recoverMail.
Then open a cmd.exe as administrator and rename *.wdseml to *.eml
then you can use the Import tool to get back visibility to your emails.
good luck

ok, I suggest you take an email message that contains attachments. Press Ctrl +U in thunderbird and you will see the message source. In a series os MIME documents in that text will be your attachments.
People almost universally assume they are sending files as attachments. The reality is a sleight of hand. EMail at it's inception was a text medium, and at it's heart it still is. That PDF file your attaching has to be converted to text before it can be a part of an email. This is called mime encoding and luckily is covered by an internet standard so most stuff is universal between mail clients. The result is your 500Kb file is converted to mime and in the process grows about 30-40% So when you ask questions like where are attachments stored, the answer is "in the body of the message"
The message view you get when you press Ctrl+U is not only the exact source of the message as transmitted over the internet it is an exact representation of the message if it was saved as an EML file.
Thunderbirds mbox files are simply a load of EML files stacked one after the other with a blank line at the end and a from line to start them. When Thunderbird is closed you can open them in a text editor and again see your mail in it's raw text representation.
So when you say the attachments were there, and then they were not, your saying that fundamentally the mime encoded text of a message has changed. Thunderbird does not go through some fancy editing process when you drag a message from one folder to another, it just copies a block of text to a new location, deletes it in the old location and pretends it moved something. If you said the message disappeared I would be all over it as a possible bug. Parts of it disappearing I simply don't understand as Thunderbird sees a message not some part of the message. Programs that go out of their way to see parts of a message even when stores as a mime encoded text file are anti virus programs, what programs are proud of the fact they insert themselves into every disk read and write. Again anti virus programs.
The following is a standard text used for diagnosing Thunderbird issues. Many challenge the validity, but using both Thunderbird's and the operating systems safe modes are the only ways to get rid of the all pervasive security software that is so often the cause of issues.
To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

After transfer from XP to Win7 I can't see out Outlook Express folder

I am converting from running Outlook Express on Windows XP to running Thunderbird on Windows 7. I installed Thunderbird on my XP computer and ran the import from Outlook Express which created the Outlook Express Import folder which does contain all the emails I wish to retain. I installed Thunderbird on my Windows 7 computer and copied the profile folder over from Windows XP. Since the profile names were different I changed the value in the profile.ini file as well as in the settings parameter in Thunderbird to match this copied value. However, I do not see the Outlook Express folder from Thunderbird. If I navigate the folder structure under the profile I do see the Outlook Express import folders. Any help in gaining access to this data would be helpful. Since I still have all the data on my XP box I can if needed reinstall Thunderbird.

I tried what you recommended and really see no difference. Let me add something that may help. When I installed Thunderbird on the Win 7 PC it did create a profile (but obviously with a different name from the one created on XP). The changes I mentioned making was to point the Win 7 version to use the profile from XP. But I just thought of one thing, on Win 7 the path would use AppData but on XP it would be Application Data. I think that because if does not have the same path names it does not see the Outlook folder. So if the Thunderbird on my Win 7 PC is not fixable, what is the best way to transfer the profile and all my old folders from XP over to Win 7?

Can't see pdf files inside folder when logged in to my profile

When logged into my computer, I can see all the pdf's inside a certain folder just fine. but when i log into an intern computer within our network I cannot see those files. the folder just appears empty. The intern however, when logged in as herself on that same intern computer can see the pdf's just fine. any ideas as to why i can't see them on that second computer?

Hi Ryan,
This is not an Acrobat related issue, it is related to your local user profile, I will recommend you to contact your network administrator so that he can help you to create a shared user profile on the network.

I want my wife to be able to see my calendars on my IPad /I phone on her mac and for her to add to it . She can then see my work movements and also add in any important events from home life. Can it be done without sync of email and contacts?

I would like my wife to see my calendar on her mac from my iPad so she knows my work movements and can add in any important events I need to be aware of at home. Can I do this without upsetting her mac/iPhone arrangement and without sync of contacts and email?

I'm not sure how iCloud will handle this, but I believe it will allow something along these lines - cloud syncing of the calendar between two. For now, you could just move your calendars to Google calendar and sync it to your iPad - then - you can subscribe to each other's calendars, give priviliges to add events to them, etc.

I can't see my Music Movies in my Music folder

Hello,
I'll try to explain...
I just bought the album of Nelly Furtado. With it you get a beautiful video of Maneater ( .m4v file).
I can see the movie from the "Music" folder or from my personnal folders with no problem.
But the movie doesn't appear in the "Movies" folder (top left - just under the "Music" folder). Is this normal? How can I solve this?
Tx for your help.
Jean-Pascal.

Thanks Macjack. So I've got 100 Gig in Dropbox in my user folder...I didn't think drop box would take up space on your computer? I tought I could transfer everything off my computer into dropbox, and delete everything in my computer folders that I transfered to dropbox? I tried to do this but everything disappeared in Drop box and my user folder. Must they be the same and is the information then duplicated?
So what I did was copied everything in my documents and my iPhoto library into dropbox. Then deleted everything in my documents folder (not iPhotos cuz that's still transferring over!) and after a day or two everything was gone from dropbox as well...luckily I had it all backed up and was able to bring it back. So is everything duplicated then? On my computer and drop box?
Sorry if this is all confusing...
