Idvd and slideshow buttons

After I create my custom IDVD and I check it in map view there is an extra slide there with the yellow triangle that says "menu contains no buttons" so I delete the slide and it says slide show is empty.Then I have to may my dvd over.

It is presumably referring to Chapter buttons.
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

RSS, Back and Slideshow buttons not displaying correctly

I just finished my new wesite in Iweb and published it to .mac. Everything is working fine in Iweb but when I look at the published site the RSS, Subscribe, Back buttons are displaying really screwy. There are added buttons where I didn't put them. How can I fix this? It is occurring specifically on my photo album pages.

Publish your site to and folder on the desktop and double click the index.html file to launch your site in the browser.
If the page looks OK do a "Publish all to Mac".
If its still not right you'll have to go back to the iWeb page and try resetting the buttons and then do a Publish All.

I just bought a new macair laptop and it doens't have idvd and I want to make a DVD slideshow with music. I have an external CD drive. Is there an applicaation that apple has to do this? IF I buy a used mac, which ones have idvd?

I have a new macair laptop and it does not have idvd. It has a flashdirve instead, so no internal CD drive though I bought an external one. I'm wanted to make a DVD slide show with music and I was told I can't do that in order to play it on a dvd player. Does Mac have an appication to buy that can do the same thing? I thought I saw one for $39.95 but not sure if it will do this. The apple store did not know for sure. Also, if I bought a used mac laptop, which ones will have the idvd installed on it?
Thanks,
Phyllis

It is now apparent that iWeb, and iDVD, will no longer be supported by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
Other users have complained to Apple via Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html and/or http://www.apple.com/contact/ and have received a boxed copy of iLIfe 11. Give it a try. In the meantime the following maybe of interest:
iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
All of these issues can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.

However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
Apple has announced that iLife is now an unsupported product and those iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the boxed iLife 11 at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought. Personally, if I already didn't have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

How can i create forward and back buttons for a dreamweaver slideshow?

Hi
I am an illustrator attempting to create a website in dreamweaver (basically it will be an online portfolio). I would like to have a box/slideshow with images of my work that someone can browse through by clicking 'next' and 'back' buttons. Does anyone know how to do this? I have been trying to find out how to do this for ages - i dont want to use flash if possible as i am worried about making the site too complicated. I know how to make swap image thumbnails, but i think my site would be more user friendly (and look more professional) if i could have next and back buttons. Would this involve complicated css code (which scares the life out of me!) or is there a relatively easy way to do it? I have got two 'dreamweaver for idiots' books, but neither of them cover this topic. Can anyone help?

If you are using CS4, there is a Command to create a Web Album... this does it automatically for you.
Otherwise, you can create this manually. Say you have 3 pages,
page1.html (is the index page of the album)
page2.html
page3.html
Therefore, using ordinary text links
Home would link to page1.html
Previous would link to page3.html
Next would link to page2.html
You would need to make adjustments naturally to each page as you move along with the gallery pages, changing the previous and the next links as needed. Below is a a basic example of setting up the links in a simple table structure. You would also then style the table layout as you see fit - yes, using css preferably :-)
<table>
<tr>
<td><h2>MY GALLERY OF PHOTOS</h2>
<a href="page3.html">Previous</a> | <a href="index.html">Home</a> | <a href="page2.html">Next</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<br>
<a href="../images/img_2401_jpg.jpg"><img src="../images/img_2401_jpg.jpg" border=0></a><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here's an article on creating an album using the DW Command I mentioned earlier. You could create the album and then copy and paste the code into a current page if you've already designed on.,... not too difficult, I just tested it. You do however, need to have Fireworks to process the images.

You could also check out the Lightbox effect which is very popular:
http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/
Or do a google search for 'jquery'. There are different album effects using that framework as well.
Hope some of this helps :-)

After creating a new slideshow I export it with the setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

After creating a new slideshow I export it with the setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good. You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

I made and burned a slideshow in iDVD and gave a copy to a friend with a Mac notebook. Is there a way she can put it on her hard drive to make copies of it? Does she need to have iDVD?

How to customize the prev and next buttons separately in slideshows?

Is there a way to customize the prev and next buttons separately in slideshows in muse? When I import a background image that looks like a right arrow it puts the image for both prev and next buttons. I import it by selecting the next button, and then clicking on the folder icon labelled "Image" in the Fill drop-down menu in the Tool bar at the top of the Muse page.

Yes, it should be very easy. Here is how I do this:
First, I move the arrows onto the image, and double click the box so that I can remove the arrow character.
Then, I go up to the "Image Fill" and click the file icon to fill with an image
Then, I select the other arrow, and do the same
Hope this helps!

"prev"and "next" buttons no longer work on Yahoo/other slideshows. Still work in Chrome.

In updating for FFX 6 and 7, the next and prev buttons no longer work in slideshows on Yahoo news and similar sites. Sometimes the status bar shows the links as javascript: void or :null. Sometimes longer links. All javaconsole add-ins are shown as incompatible with these version of FFX.

i woudnt suggest it, but if your warranty is up it could just be a bad connection from the wheel...what generation do you have? my 4th generation 20 gig ceased to function and it was because somehow one of the cables had a bad connection. i took it to the apple store and they gave me an estimate for something i wasnt willing to pay on a 2 year old ipod so i just winged dissasembleing it and after taking apart the whole thing and reassembling it worked fine.

Unimpressed with iDVD '08 and slideshows

I set up a slideshow with seven pages of about 30 slides each and with an audio track for each page. Each set of slides was set to run for the duration of the audio. Within iDVD, it all looks good. However, on the test disk image, the slides are displayed at very uneven intervals and then the display stops after about 20 seconds (but the audio carries on). Clicking on the controller timeline allows it to catch up, but it's unusable in its current state.
Furthermore, although iDVD and iPhoto are billed as being all interconnected and interwoven and all that jazz, changes to slides in iPhoto are not reflected in iDVD: you have to delete the existing slide and reimport from iPhoto. I had a few slides without captions or misoriented and it was quite tedious to have to reimport them one by one into the right place.
This is not what I expect from Apple at all.

What brand media did you use and what burn speed did you select in Disk Utility when you burned the disk image to writable media?
Maxell and Verbatim are good media choices and 4x or slower burn speed is best.

I have made a slideshow in iphoto then shared it into iDVD and burnt it onto a disk when i watched the slideshow on my dvd player the music froze several times?

Hi I have made a slideshow for my neices 21st in iphoto then have shared it into iDVD and burnt to a disk..when i watch the dvd on a dvd player the music freezes a few times?? how do i fix this :-)

Good morning,
There are a few possibilities. Here's one suggestion if your slideshow is longer than 99 images:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3340011
You may also wish to assemble the slideshow in iMovie if your video clips were recorded in lower resolution (12 bit) mode. Extracting the audio from these video clips can solve that problem. Here's an older discussion of that problem:

Removing the "next" and "previous" buttons in the slideshow

Hi all,
I added an html snippet so once you click on my link, it bypasses the album mode and goes straight to the single pict mode. I like it because for me, it seemed like an extra step. So, now that I don't want to use album mode- i want to remove the "back to album" and the "previous and next" buttons (to clean stuff up). Anybody know how to do that?
thanks!

They make a call to JavaScript, I'm guessing you knew that?
I'm 96.7% JS illiterate, so I'm incapable of explaining it.
You have to download the Spry Framework, unpackage it, look
in the Demos folder, then look in the Gallery folder. Gallery.js, i
think, is where that JS call goes to in order to switch out the
next/prev image.
the download is here:

I made a slide show using imovie. When I play it back on my imac, the slideshow looks perfect. However when I burned in via iDVD and play the disc, the resolution drops off. The video appears fuzzy and not sharp. Any ideas why?

I made a slide show using imovie. When I play it back on my imac, the slide show is crystal clear and sharp. I burned a disc of the slide show using iDVD. When I played the dvd the resolution is very poor. Fuzzy and shakey images. I tried various solutions, Apple tec told me to go to preferences on iDVD and select "professional" to get higher resolution. Tried that but results still the same. Any ideas?

When you play on your Mac, you can have resolution up to 1920x1080.
When you burn to iDVD you convert to 640x480.
