IDVD - dvd plays automatically without going to the menu screen

Hi,
I'm new to iDVD and burned my first project yesterday, after transfering it from iMovie.
A problem: I created chapter markers in iDVD, which when imported into iDVD appeared there. The home page let's you choose either to play the movie or select a scene. However, after burning the project to DVD and inserting it into a DVD player, it starts the movie automatically!
I would like it to go, by default, to the menu screen when inserting into a DVD player - so I can choose scenes. Any suggestions how I can get it to do that?
Thank you,
Mont

As you have rightfully pointed out above; I wouldn't assume iDvd'08 and iDvd'09 are identical versions. But they are very similar. There are more significant differences within separate iMovie versions, as well as iPhoto, GB, etc.
Have I tested the difference between iDvd'08 vs. iDvd'09? No, not yet. As soon as I do I'll make every attempt to post a few of the differences. At the moment, I'm looking into separate volumes / hard drive bootability differences between Tiger vs. Leopard on both an external FW HD as well as internal ATA and SATA hard drives. And it seems I have my work cut out for me in this regard for at least the next few weeks. As soon as I complete this latter issue I will come back to iDvd.
Under Tiger I didn't have to worry about making a clone (using CCC or SuperDuper) of my existing volume/s that contained iDvd and other i-apps. But apparently (at least at first glance) this is longer the case under Leopard.

Is there a way to see if "snap to grid is on"...without going to the menu?

I have been working on tutorials and many of them require turning "snap to grid" on and off many times throughout the illustration creation process. I am easily using the keyboard shortcuts. But often I forget if it is toggled on or off. As of now I have to go to the top drop down menu and see if it is checked or not. Is there some reference in the main work area that shows the status of this feature (on or off)? It seems so awkward going to the menu dropdown each time to see this.
~Thanks

not that I know of, but you can cheat by creating a square that turns green when Snap is on and it turns Red if Snap is off
1. create a square
2. give it a note, "SNAP" for example
3. record an action to turn Snap to grid On and change the square to green, give it a shortcut, "F2" for example
4. duplicate the action and edit it to change the square to Red, give it a shortcut, "F3" for example
that's it, if you need help with actions, feel free to ask.

How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene?

How do I continually loop frames with a 20 second pause in each frame from the same scene without going to the next scene? There are buttons for the other scenes in these frames. The below works well until I am at the last frame in scene one, then it goes to the next scene and plays. How can I make scene one a continually loop.
stop();
var timer:Timer = new Timer(20000,0);//<--
timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, timerHandler);
timer.start();
function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
    this.nextFrame();
    //or if you want to jump e.g 5 frames
    this.gotoAndStop(this.currentFrame+5);
Thank you for any help.

For this code to work, you need to empty the first frame and place all the photos a frame ahead. Then, place this code on the first frame. DONE!
If you need more help, I'll try to answer it the fastest I can.
Oh, and I could actualy make your photos fade out and fade in as they rotate from frame to frame, it would be awesome. Just tell me if you want me to do it. Good luck
import flash.display.Scene;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
stop();

timer.start();
function timerHandler(event:TimerEvent):void {
if (this.currentScene.name == "Scene 1") {
if (this.currentFrame != this.currentScene.numFrames) {
   this.nextFrame();
} else {
   this.gotoAndStop(2);
nextFrame();

Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?

Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; I get the "end program" message and have to say "end now"it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?
- I've used Firefox exclusively for around 2 years.
- My outlook express has no problems
- other programs seem unaffected; it seems peculiar to Firefox.
- my main use is surfing the net, primarily entering competitions on line via specialist competition sites.
- every day at some stage(s) I have to switch computer off as Firefox has got very slow/sticky/freezes.
I'm not techy by any means, but I can only thing of un- and re-installing to hopefully start with a clean slate.

Sounds like something is keeping Firefox from closing properly. See this: <br />

As always just be careful to rememeber who you are messaging to!

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen? Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

How can I attach a photo to an email,using Photoshop Elements9,without going through the Revel cloud

How can I attach a photo to an email using Photoshop Elements 9, without going through the Adobe Revel cloud?

Adobe user wrote:
I'm using Windows 7. I have no email clients.
You don't need an Email client nor Adobe Revel account to send email and photos as attachment. All you need is an email account (could be free web-based account such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, AOL or whatever including from your own ISP. And of course an Internet Connection.
Now the most obvious requirement is out of the way so you need to go in to your Organizer and click on Share button and choose Photomail. Select the photo you want to send and follow the instructions that are on your screen.
You also need to request an Adobe Verification Code to enable you to use Adobe's Mail Servers to send the photos for you. To do this go to:
Edit >> Preferences>> Sharing
Look for something like this and fill out the red boxes where indicated (click on this image to see it clearly).
Hope this gets you started.

Captivate 5: is there a way to prevent someone from taking the quiz, without going through the conte

Hi.
Is there a way in Captivate 5 to prevent someone from clicking on the quiz to take it, without having gone through the content?
CB.

Hi.
Regarding preventing someone from taking the quiz without going through the content...
I decided to separate the quiz out of the project as a separate item.
We are going to use a Learning Management System which will house the module to control the access.
The LMS can be set to not allow people to click on the Quiz link, until they have gone through the content. (So they cannot by-pass the content and just do the quiz).
I was trying to find a way to control this from within Captivate 5 and keep people from being able to click on the quiz without going through the content. (And keep the quiz inside the original project).
However, this LMS solution will work for this module.
Thanks everyone!

How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders.

Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

TS1369 i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes

i have a screen with the apple logo on it and a bar underneath it. it has been this way for about an hour now. what does this mean and is there a way to reset the iphone without going into the store? it isnt showing in my computer or on the itunes page.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Using axbridge.dll without going through the JRE installation process

I've searched the web and this forum for this specific problem, and have found related items, but nothing that quite answers the question.
I have an application that uses the JRE's axbridge.dll to access a DLL created from a Java bean. I used the packager to create a DLL named MyBean.dll.
When I go through the full JRE install, everything works great. That is to say, when I execute Sun's JRE installation program and go through the normal install process, I can access the bean through MyBean.dll without any problems.
I am accessing MyBean.dll from a Visual Basic 6.0 application. Converting to VB .Net is NOT an option at this time. The VB app uses MyBean.dll for a critical part of the application.
It is my understanding that it is not strictly necessary to go through the full JRE installation process. Simply deploying the JRE by copying its directory (and all subdirectories) to your application's directory structure should be sufficient. This would be HIGHLY desirable for my application. In fact, if I can't do this, it may be a show-stopper.
When I install my application in this way (i.e, by simply copying the JRE instead of "installing" it) it doesn't work at all. I immediately get an error saying that the executable "has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience" and a dialog is displayed offering to send the problem information to Microsoft.
The details indicate clearly that the problem occurs in the axbridge.dll, version 1.4.2.60.
1. Any ideas on how to get the axbridge.dll to work without going through the full JRE install?
2. Are there any alternatives to using the axbridge.dll to get my VB app to be able to use the Java? Remember, it is VB that must call the Java, NOT the other way around.
3. Is JNI an alternative? If so, can I use JNI to get VB to use Java, or do I have to write the DLL's in C++?
Any help you can give would be VERY MUCH appreciated.

I'm also on a JRE installation problem with the bridge.
Here is a regmon extract on excel using a dll that uses a java-packaged dll from the bridge:
5229 5.69504923 EXCEL.EXE:2364 QueryValue HKCR\CLSID\{9DD49FCD-BB61-414E-88C8-E6F5B35AEDCB}\InprocServer32\(Default) SUCCESS "C:\win32app\Specific\jre1.5.0_05\bin\axbridge.dll" << The axbridge dll in a specific location
5271 5.70646800 EXCEL.EXE:2364 QueryValue HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.5.0_05\JavaHome SUCCESS "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05" << an installed JRE 1.5.0
This is confirmed with process explorer : excel is using "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_05\lib\rt.jar" and not "C:\win32app\Specific\jre1.5.0_05\lib\rt.jar"
In other word, the axbridge check for its installation location in the registry to know where to start.
Even if all your components have been updated in the registry as suggested here : http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=40&threadID=559704
JRE Bug or feature?
Anyway the registry is evil.

You can restore your iPad with your iPhone backup but items that are iPhone only will not transfer. It should recreate all your folders. It can't hurt anything to try.

Had a new hard drive installed last month. now iphoto won't start up, popup says "you can't open the application iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. can this be repaired without going to the repair shop?

What installed iPhoto there in the first place? Was it the same version of iPhoto that came with the Mac? Was iLife added at a later time from a Mac Box Set? You can selectively install iPhoto, and then apply the appropriate iLife update without taking it to the shop, after removing the application, or recover it from your backup.

Syncing Without Going to the Cloud?

Is it possible to continue syncing contacts and calendar events between Outlook and the iPhone 4 using iTunes after iTunes version 10.1.2.17 without going to the "Cloud"? Has anyone accomplished this?
I would like to be able to continue using my iPhone with contacts and calendar events synced to my Outlook client on my PC and do it peer to peer locally without having all of my personal contact and calendar data end up on the "Cloud" somewhere out of my control.
I have not seen a way to do this using iTunes on any later version than 10.1.2.17. Has anybody else figured this out? Is there a solution or has Apple removed this option (keep it peer to peer local) entirely?

You will need Acrobat for that.
