IDVD Quits (oh no, not another one)

Hello all,
about 6 months ago I tried iMovie and iDVD and had nothing but problems, mainly down to iMovie's inability to accept imported movie footage using the 'make clips' function (it just corrupted the original footage). Recently, I had another go and instead opted for 'import footage in one big clip'. That worked!
So great, I made a short 28 minute film and popped into iDVD for burning. And then, iDVD swallowed a few disks, then crashed through processing, then wouldn't load and blah blah blah.
Does anyone happen to know how to get iDVD 5 to actually write a DVD-R without 'unexpectedly' quitting (during rendering, or burning, or during anything at all).
Long time Mac user in another frustrated state ...

Hi N.H.H.
Just some thoughts.
one:
Mac OS and iDVD and QT works as a team and has to be matched right.
If X.3.x works on a dual-core G5 is out of my knowledg (probabyl not)
OS X.3.9 + iDVD 5.0.1 + QT 6.5.2 = stable working environment (if possibly)
OS X.4.8 + iDVD 6.0.3 + QT 7.1.3 = also OK
OS X.4.3 + iDVD 5.0.x and QT ???? = don't know
two:
The most common problem maker is when trying to make DVD disks with
to little free memory on the internal (booth) hard disk. > 25Gb free is what
I recommend. Mac OS needs 5 - 10 Gb to work (UNIX needs it) and then
iDVD + QT needs at least 2 X 5Gb to calculate and store the mpeg2 code
to the DVD disk
three:
Choise of DVD disks: I use Verbatim DVD-R and burn at an as slow speed
as possibly.
Yours Bengt W

Speed Woes (Not another one!)

Hi people,
Had Infinity [80/20] installed 2 weeks ago and had nothing but problems with the speeds. I've called several times and had an engineer out to have a look, but as i'm getting more than 13mbps, BT will not look further into it.
Current speeds [IP Profile - 79mbps]:
Wired : ~30/~15
Wireless [b/g/n] : ~20/~15
Am I better off buying a new router, as testing has found I'm getting 79mbps at the NTE? Going to have another play with it tonight, but I'm running out of options
Cheers.

Plugged into the GigE port and here are the results. Wired isn't really realistic for me though as my machine is upstairs. I'd have to put it just behind the front door for a shorter cable...

Have had crashes with one computer but not another. one that crashes has adobe flash payer 15 active x installed. should I uninstall it

I have two dell computers - one with 7 and one with 8. have numerous crashes on 7 but not 8. noticed Adobe flash player 15 active x is installed on 7 but not 8. is this the problem. should I uninstall it?

It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you
into installing not only their program, '''but other programs as well'''.
You have heard of the '''fine print in shady contracts''', right? Well, some
installers you need to look at the '''itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print'''.
You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program
you want by using the '''recommended''' option. But if you use the
'''Manual Option Instead''', you discover all kinds of stuff that
'''you do not even know what it is or what it does'''. From now on,
everyone needs to '''Use The Manual Option''' to put a stop to this.

User did not respond (not another one!!!)

Hello, I recently purched a Macbook Pro and I can't get the video chat feature in iChat to work. I have tried all the tutorials, everything to try and get this **** thing to work.
I have turned my firewall off, changed the port that AIM uses, and just about everthing else that has been recomended. I am cureently using a Linksys WRT54GX2, and I havent changed a think on there. I am trying to connect to a person over AIM. He has a Macbook and a Airport Extreme. We are both getting the "user did not respond" error when we try to connect to each other.

Hi Masterchief,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
I understand the WRT45GX2 is a MIMO device.
There is a problem with these and iChat.

Theme will install on one computer but not another one both have 4.0b6

The PC OS is Windows 7 Home Premium and the Laptop is running Windows 7 Ultimate. The Glowygreen theme works on the Laptop but not on the PC.

1- take a look at the jar part of the java tutorial here http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/
2- make sure you've imported all the libraries (.jar and .dll). See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/downman.html
3- make sure you've specified an entry point of your program. See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/appman.html

Can signon with one account but not another one

Been using iChat for years, the other day I installed both Adium and Fire but neither of them would signon my main AIM account but would signon my secondary AIM account. NOW, though, iChat refuses to signon my primary AIM account either! The only way to signon with that account is to use the AOL IM application, it signs on flawlessly. Password IS correctly entered, just the one AIM account won't authenticate.
I deleted iChat prefs, ran Cocktail, turned off the firewall, still no joy.
Ideas?

Hi ClarkDV,
In iChat prefernces > Accounts section
Is the tick box to Allow Multiple logins of the account name actually ticked ?
Do Adium and Fire have similar settings ?

I dragged my notes from one iCloud account to another iCloud account and they disappeared. How do I find them?

I dragged my notes from one iCloud account to another iCloud account and they disappeared. How do I find them?

Hello reallilybart,
Thank you for the question. You can export the calendar events from your previous iCloud account and then import them into your new iCloud account.
First, use these steps to export your events from your original account and make note of where you save the file to:
Export a calendar’s events
In Calendar, click the calendar’s name.If you don’t see your calendars, click Calendars.
Choose File > Export > Export.
Choose a location for the file, and then click Export. The events are exported in an iCalendar (.ics) file.
Next, quit the Calendar application, and log out of your original iCloud account in System Preferences > iCloud. Then log in with your new iCloud account and open Calendar. The final step is to import the file into the calendar for your new iCloud account
Use these steps to import the calendar events:
Import events into a calendar
If you want, create a new calendar for the events.Add or delete a calendar
Choose File > Import > Import.
Locate and select the calendar file that contains the events, and then click Import.
Choose the calendar you created or another calendar to add the events to.
You can also drag a .ics file to Calendar. The events in the file are added to the calendar that’s highlighted in the Calendar list.
You can find the full article here:
Calendar: Export and import calendars

I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network. Does anyone know where to find this? It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network. Does anyone know where to find this? It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
The network password will appear in the box.
Quit Keychain Access.

I had all of my video files that I work on in iMovie saved to an external hard drive exclusively to save space on my Macbook. I had just finalized a project, went to work on another one and files couldn't be found, were not deleted how do I find them?

I had all of my video files that I work on in iMovie saved to an external hard drive exclusively to save space on my Macbook. The other day I had just finalized a project and went to work on another one and when I opened the project I could see what should have been there, but scrolling over the entire clip I would only see black and that the file was missing. I did not drag anything on the hard drive to the trash or move anything. How can I get those files? These are videos of my kids and I am devastated and willing to try anything!

Control click does not work - no option to find files. I have no idea what to do. When I look at the usage of the external drive the space is being used, but I cannot find the files. I am going to try MacKeeper's Undelete and see if I can make any progress with it.

Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

Can you move your notes from one iphone to another and how?

You can do this a couple ways. If you are using MobileMe, notes is one of the options for synchronization and that would be automatic. Another way is to backup your iphone to iTunes, this backs up essentially all the information on your phone (except for music) and if you restore the other iphone to the image of the original your notes will be transfered.

Why did my charger already go bad..bought another one and it went bad..now phone will not charge..only had it 2 months..what a disappointment so far..should have stayed with Apple..would like to get my money back. Terrible experience so far.

Why did my charger from Verizon already go bad..bought another one and it went bad..now the phone will not charge..what a disappointment and a hassle..should have stuck with Apple..only had the phone 2 months. Hope they will exchange it!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is either a Phone issue or an Electrical issue in your home.! when charging Do you always use the same electrical outlet? or did you try others..
You will know or should know if there are any issues with your other Electronics.. that you Plug into it..
If it is the s5 which it sounds like it could be then the Local Verizon store at there Discretion will determined if replacement is needed you have a 1 year Manufactures Warranty that covers for things like what your Describing I would take it too your local store see if they'll get you a Replacement or you may have to go through Samsung..
But I would Try another OUTLET just to see if your phone charges with it.. And Good Luck b33

Not able to execute one Java program from another one via. exec()

Hi,
I am new to this forum, so I might be asking a very trivial quetion.
My program Ap1 is :
class Ap1
public static void main(String a[]) throws Exception
Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p=null;
p=rt.exec("javac,Pr.java");
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("javac,Pr.java");
When I run the above program, I get below error at the line 7(bold one):
D:\batchwe>javac Ap1.java
D:\batchwe>java Ap1
Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: javac,Pr.java err
or=2

Path is set as below(which seems correct):
D:\batchwe>path
PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_05\bin
I am just wondering how to call one Java program from another one?!
Please help.
thanks

Hi diptaPB,
Thanks for your suggestion.
Here is how I tried it again, but not getting the desired output:
Class Pr looks like below -->
class Pr
public static void main(String a[])
System.out.println("hi from process");
When I run 'Pr' from command prompt, i get the desired output:
D:\batchwe>java Pr
hi from process
However, when I call 'Pr' from another program Ap2.java, it seems that it does not call 'Pr':
class Ap2
public static void main(String a[]) throws Exception
Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p=null;
String[] cmd=new String[2];
cmd[0]="javac";
cmd[1]="Pr.java";
p=rt.exec("cmd");
D:\batchwe>javac Ap2.java
D:\batchwe>java Ap2
************* no output appears here***********************
Looking forward for your help.
regards
Rashmi

So i had my ipod stolen and i backed up everythink on to my itunes before, i cant really afford another one and all i really want is the notes what i saved. is there a way to get to them???

No. If you had configured Find My Phone in icloud.com, then you can lock it or erase it, but you cannot recover data from it.
There probably are third-party utilities that might be able to extract data from the backup file itself. Look for them at MacUpdate.

Synaptics touchpad on 4540s works for one person but not another

The Synaptics touchpad on my ProBook 4540s (Win 7) works normally when I use it but when my wife tries to use it, the touchpad is unresponsive after a very slight initial cursor movement.  (Anticipating replies - Yes, she casts a shadow, pictures of her come out normally, and she has a visible reflection in a mirror.)     The touchpad sensitivity setting is maxed on light touch and cursor speed is maxed.
She has relatively small hands, and long nails, but she had no difficulty using the touchpad on our old HP dv9910us and has no problem with an iPad touchscreen.  This week she tried the touchpad on a Sony VAIO that was so worn most of the original surface coating is gone, and had no problem moving the cursor on that machine either.   She even tried the awkward solution of using her knuckle instead of her fingertip on the HP in case her nails were getting in the way, but that didn't work either.
Not having used a 4540s before, and not having access to another one to compare, I have no way to tell whether this is a bad individual touchpad unit or a design issue.   If a design issue, what's the workaround?     For instance, is there a skin I can put on the touchpad to increase its conductivity?

A friend of mine bought a ProBook 4540s yesterday. At Microcenter we noticed that the touch pad often would stop working for her, and sometimes for me, but it usually worked for me. She bought the laptop, and we she got it home we noticed the same problem. I played with the touchpad a little and noticed this pad has a very narrow window of operation. With the 14.1" HP's like the nc6220 or nc6400, you can use one finger, two fingers, even three fingers, and the mouse responds nicely. However if too much surface area is in contact with the touchpad of the 4540s it doesn't work. Too much surface area is the pad of your finger. Because my friend has long nails, she was laying her finger pretty flat on the touch pad, and it wouldn't work. When I used the pad like this it wouldn't work for me either. Because I have short finger nails I have always used the lower end of my tip. This works pretty well with the 4540s. Pressure seems to have little affect. It is a matter of surface area, and the acceptable area has a small range!

After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

After installing Mountain Lion, why is there Yahoo access for one user but not another?--both are administrators.

We've had several instances where we have had to run chkdsk on arrays with over 1m files. Average completion time is approximately 72 hours. The maximum downtime window they have available is the 64 hour weekend window. File sizes and number of files were
much smaller then than they are now.
The idea, in theory, was to use VHDs to compartmentalize the data into smaller volumes which could be more easily managed. It would also improve performance when transferring these compartments of data as they would use sequential read/write rather than
fragmented/random. This idea was never fleshed out in entirety, they don't split data up into little containers, but simply into big ones per project. Hence the 11m files in one container that I am currently trying to diagnose.
Some other important facts: The VHD in question is mounted in B:/project/ as this server also allows remote workers to log in, but they are restricted to see only data in E:. Disks A-D are hidden via group policy.
Update: icacls is failing on a large number of files within this dataset. I counted the path characters to ensure it wasn't the 255 character limit I was encountering and verified that the paths being blocked are only about 150 characters long. Once it finishes,
I'll have to try taking ownership and then re-running it. At this point I still have no idea how long to expect. I'm running out of time as the environment will be in use again at 9AM tomorrow morning.
