Idvd's driving me mad!

Please any help?
I am trying to burn a dvd, half hour long. All goes well up to stage 4 then the application hungs forever. there are 14 Gigs of disc space, i have changed three times the dvd brand and still waiting to burn my fisrt dvd on a mac. If I had a gun I shoot the mac! seriously.
Any help will be appreciated.
Ps, English is not my mother tongue, but i do my best.
Thank you once again,
Sanchi

Stage 4? Audio encoding?
This question is frequently asked!
iDVD is probably not 'hanging'. Disregard any messages that iDVD is not responding. It is. Do not force quit.
Encoding audio is the slowest part of rendering, and can take many hours. Great patience, even an intermittent alternative hobby, is called for.
Make sure no other application is running, make sure you have not set the hard disk to go to sleep and that the screen saver will not come on. Leave it overnight, or have a 36 hole game of golf.
Sooner or later iDVD will finish!

My iphone 5 is 32GB and I keep it backed up in icloud. A recent message suggested that I don't have enough icloud space so I have deleted all back up - it still says no icloud space - help!!! I am not a techy person and this is driving me mad!! :(

Please can somebody help ....My iphone said not enough icloud space available, so I have delete all back ups and checked what apps are linked to my back up and it is only my photos. Since deleting all current back ups I have tried to back up again and it still says not enough space when I have 5GB/ 5GB available.
Can anybody help please? I'd be really greatful as this is driving me mad... why can't things just be simple x

The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud. Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well. Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

Orange E65 Wi-Fi and Livebox-driving me mad!

Hi all,
I have recently bought a reconditioned Nokia E65 from Orange UK. The phone is nice, but there is one thing that's driving me mad! I cannot connect it to my wireless internet. I am on Orange home max package and I am trying to connect the E65 to the Livebox. The Livebox is set to accept both WEP and WPA. I have tried to setup the phone to connect with WPA but to no avail; it only seems to connect to the livebox if I use WPE and if I set the network mode to "ad-hoc". It seems to pick up an ip address (checked with IfInfo). However, where I try to access the internet I get the gateway error. I checked IfInfo again and I am not getting any subnet, gateway or DNS. I tried to manually set the IP(to the same value that the router assigned automatically before), so that I could also set the other values; I set gateway to 198.162.1.1 and subnet to 255.255.255.0 (as from Ipconfig on my pc) and I still get the gateway error. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Or will I have to send the phone back.
PS I set up the LAN at work (WPA mode) straight away using the wizard in a few seconds. so I really don't get what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance for your help
Maurizio

Thanks for the reply Kraven,
I already have a cheap Belkin router/modem, but I need to use the Livebox in order to use the second phone line with the Home Max package (cheap/free internet phone calls).
I think the problem here is with the Nokia E65 not the router. I have found loads of people posting on the net about this problem (on this forum too). And it does seem to happen with different routers too! Interesting thread here:

08005875290 calls driving me mad

I don't have a BT phone line and never have I have another provider so why am I getting these 0800 calls they are driving me mad day in and day out for months.
PLEASE how do I stop them without having to go to my provider and changing my number??

Hi.
Have you signed up for the TPS, The Telephone Preference service. If so when they ring up ask them to take your number off there calling list. If they keep calling fill in the complaints form on the TPS site.
It might help to reduce these calls.
Failing that a good mouthful down the phone when they next ring usually does the trick

Sumproduct in Numbers driving me mad!

Hi All, looking for someone to tell me im being really silly here, this is driving me mad!!!
So, I've been trying to impliment the following sumproduct in Numbers, here are my two tables, both on the same sheet. This is a test workbook ive been playing around with...
Table 1
A
B
C
D
1
Make
Month
Sold
Price
2
Ford
June
1
£100.00
3
Ford
June
3
£200.00
4
Ford
May
4
£300.00
Table 2
A
B
C
1
Make
Month
Total
2
Ford
June
? = the following formula: =SUMPRODUCT((Table 1::A2:A4=A2)×(Table 1::B2:B4=B2)×(Table 1::C2:C4))
Numbers comes to the value of 1. Interestingly enough, when i export to Excel, the answer magically becomes 4. Im a bit of an Excel geek so would like to think i know my stuff, but am trying to switch to Numbers for simple stuff because I like being able to view sheets on my iPhone, but this is driving me mad!
Any advice you can give would be brilliant!
Thanks in advanced,
Dave.

I would add a new column to the top table (in my example I am calling it "Sales Data"):
The new column is called "Extended Amount" and is the product of the number sold and the price
E2=C2×D2
this is shorthand for select cell E2, then type ( or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=C2×D2
select E2 and fill down
Now in the the summary table (the lower table):
C2=SUMIF(Sales Data::B, B2,Sales Data::E)
this sums the extended amount for all months that match what you enter in cell B2 in the month column of the table "Sales Data"

I have a tiny problem that is driving me mad. When I am playing an album in iTunes using cover flow view (with the playlist beneath the artwork picture) the picture is exactly above the album title. All is symmetrical. When I switch to full screen display, the artwork moves a couple of inches to the left and the display is therefore asymmetrical. Why and how do I correct it? It would drive you mad to.
Thanks for any help,
Graham

I was having the same problem, but tried the "Top Button + Home Button" reset and that did work for me. My unofficial guess is that perhaps RAM caches get filled through daily use of various apps leaving no memory for cover flow. Resetting the phone on the phone itself seems to reset that RAM. I can't say it's a cure-all, but it solved my issue. Hope this helps.

If you have your iPad connected to the charger it could be the new "Hey Siri" feature that allows you to use Siri without pressing the home button. Do you have a radio on or are people talking ? Go to settings> general> Siri> Allow"Hey Siri"> off.

What is the problem with fonts changing to myriad pro? Is this problem ever going to be resolved? Its driving me mad!

What is the problem with fonts changing to myriad pro? Is this problem ever going to be resolved? Its driving me mad!

Browser Dog, Amy,
The default font remains Myriad Pro until you change it, either in the RGB/CMYK Startup files or in the preferences, options depending on versions.
Concerning missing font names, I believe this may solve it:
Open System Preferences and go to Accessibility. Next, select Display from the source list along the left, then check the box labelled Reduce transparency.
It was first presented in this post #15 by TheUlser:

I'm running Windows 7x64 and Firefox 6.0.2 is taking forever to open any website, the little spinning circle is driving me mad. Once it has opened my bookmarks and history haven't loaded. Once in ten attempts it does load correctly but this is happening less frequently...

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Increasingly loud "buzzing" is driving me mad!

Hey so I have a first generation core-duo Macbook. Don't get me wrong I love it like a child, but it has A LOT of problems at the moment. Most cosmetic (which I can live with until school is done), but one of them is driving me mad! There is this buzzing noise that comes from the rear-left area of my macbook. It is activated every time I input something and stops about 10-15 seconds after. This is very annoying when trying to write an essay, take notes in class, or do research in the library, I can clearly hear it all the time. The only way to make it go away is to fill my ears with music, but I really love my silence when doing school work. Any ideas?
And I don't think I want to try "http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/22091" because it explicitly states not to use on anything other than a 1st gen MBP. Sorry for this little rant but I'm never home when apple phone support is offered (I do have Apple care though!) any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you don't live near an Apple Store or authorized dealer, you will need to send it in. Apple will send you a box to ship it to the service depot. You don't need to pay any postage. You can leave your upgrades in it.

Display of eBay Sales Manager Sold Page to wide for screen. Scrolling is driving me mad. Help please for Newbie to Mac!

I have a new Mac Book Pro 13” & an iPad for my Amazon and eBay business. I have been a PC user. The problem relates to both.
On my eBay Manager Sold page, the display of the page is wider than my screen. I use Safari and all other webpages are fine apart from this and a couple of other eBay Sales Manager pages. I have tried using the eBay default column widths for the Sold display page & also setting the widths of the Sold columns to my own preferences. However, on each page refresh the display page width reverts meaning I am having to scroll left and right to see full details of each sale.
Help would be much appreciated as it is driving me mad. I have tried all the usual things - page display, clearing cookies, restarting computer but nothing helps.

Hey mylittlefleur,
Sounds like the eBay Manager Sold page expects a very wide window.
Does the content get too small if you zoom out the window?
Zoom in on webpages - Safari Help
Make the webpage content larger: Choose View > Zoom In, press Command (⌘)–Plus Sign (+), or pinch open on your trackpad. To make only text larger, choose View > Zoom Text Only before you zoom in.
Set a minimum font size for webpages: Choose Safari > Preferences, click Advanced, then select “Never use font sizes smaller than.” Click the pop-up menu and choose the minimum font size you want.
Expand to full-screen view: Click the green full-screen button in the top-left corner of the browser window, or press Control-Command (⌘)-F. To return to standard view, move the pointer to the top-left corner of the screen, then click the green full-screen button again, or press Control-Command (⌘)-F.
Of course you can zoom out to see more.

Pages is driving me mad....

I have been trying to compile a newsletter in Pages (v 3.0.2). All my software is up to date. The program keeps crashing and referring to a possible problem caused by a plug in called SFWordprocessing. I am hugely frustrated. Sometimes the draft document won't even open fully before the program crashes. I have tried a second Mac - same issues. I must have sent at least a dozen of the error reports to Apple.
Has anyone else had a problem like this - and did they find a solution. I have to get this newsletter out and the fault is driving me mad... Help !

Before reinstalling pages try dumping the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist file (users/yourname/library/preferences). It is possible it is corrupted. If the file you are using was imported from ms word, it might have been corrupted. Does the crash happen regardless of what pages document you are working on? If it is only a problem on one document, it is I would consider trashing it as possibly corrupted. Try opening a new pages document based on a different template than the one you are using. This might help narrow it down as well. You might also have a corrupted user. Create a new one and see if the problem happens. If it does you have some major surgery on your hands. Check out www. macfixit.com and these discussions and apples kb database for how to remedy that situation.

Every cut I make in the sequence window leaves one remaining frame from its deleted neighbor clip. How do I turn off this feature - It is driving me mad.

Here are 3 pictures detailing what I'm experiencing.
Picture 1; clip 1 tail frame.
Picture 2; clip 2 head frame.
Picture 3; clip 2 head frame is now tail frame of clip 1.
does this help describe what is happening? Basically every cut I make
leaves an unwanted frame as a ghost of the missing cut.
best,
Fred
