IDVD stops functioning soon as I drag my movie in

I've had no problems with iDVD until now. I have a 9.1 GB movie that each time I try to drag into iDVD, the app becomes non-responsive. The menu disappears and the buttons don't work. The movie does not show up in the viewer. I've restarted iDVD many times and everything works until I drag the movie in. I have tested the movie in quicktime and it works just fine. I also tried dragging a 'smaller' version of the movie and it also worked.

iDVD cares about length -- how long is your movie? You may wish to set your Preferences in advance (under 1 hr, use Best Performance). And give the computer some time to work (perhaps close out of other programs as well). Video is hard work for a computer.

  • New version (2014.1) bug : stop() function won't work

    Hi everyone,
    I would like to know if someone else had this issue.
    I've set a symbol that has an animation into another symbol that is put in the Stage. ( Stage -> symbol_father -> Symbol_with_animation) .
    I want to make this animation start only when i press a button into the Symbol_father.
    The issue is, as soon as I run the Stage,  my animation will start regardeless i've insert every type of "stop()" function ( for example : sym.stopAll() into the stage, or sym.stop(0) into the start function of the symbol_with_animation, and so on...)
    Thanks for your time,
    greetings.

    There is no such bug AFAIK.
    I have created a composition @ Dropbox - NestedSymbols.rar as you described, and everything seems to be working fine.
         Preview in the browser and click the green box.
    Let me know if it helps, else share your composition  so that we can test.

  • Copy and Paste Stopped Functioning

    So I know how to copy and paste information. I have been doing it for years and now it has stopped functioning for me on my mac book pro =(
    I can't even copy/paste things in word, text edit, skype, internet emails etc.
    This is really frustrating me. I use the shortcut keys or even using the edit menu and can not get it to work... I have tried repairing disk utilities....
    Someone please help!

    When you are in one of the forums, near the top of the page it tells you the forum name. If you are on one of the pages that does not show the forum name (such as the page I'm on now doing this reply), there is a path such as "Apple.com > Support > Discussions > iWork '09 > Numbers '09" near the top of the page to let you know where you are.
    I moved the file com.apple.finder.plist to the trash (because drag and click is also not working) and restarted. This didn't fix the problem...
    Didn't previously know you were missing click and drag also.
    I have looked at other discussion threads. Very similar problem is at:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9780753&tstart=0
    It sure sounds like the same thing. Your reply in the other thread said you don't have your install disks handy. You can, however, still reapply the combo updater and give that a shot. Here is a link for the 10.5.7 combo update:

  • Idvd crashes as soon as movie is added

    My idvd has suddenly begun to crash as soon as I add a movie to any project. It just closes down - no warning messages, no error message box. Tried to add various movie types - idvd movie, exported dv and quicktime. Same problem each time. Any suggestions? Should I reinstall the appliation perhaps?
    Thanks

    Hi jon newyork
    1. What steps have you taken to address this issue if any recently?
    2. How much available Hard Drive space is on your main Hard Drive? Is it less than 20GB's?
    3. Tell us more about your configuration and what is currently connected to your mac via firewire or USB.
    4.Have you run apple's DU yet to repair permissions?
    5. Please drag and drop the plist for iDVD to the trash and re launch the app and try again. Looks like this:
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    6. Tell me more about the original source footage. Was it imported from minidv, vhs, svhs, what? > iMovie > iDVD

    My bluetooth suddenly stopped working soon after I upgraded to OS 10.9.4. I rebooted SMC, didn't work. Any other ideas? Don't know if it's related to the upgrade. I see other complaints about bluetooth in the thread but none of the solutions offered there have worked for me.

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

    Open "Java Preferences" either from spotlight or your utilities folder...it's probably going to say you need to install a java runtime. Then just click install!

  • MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

    MacBook Pro battery had accumulated more than a 1000 charges, and stopped functioning unexpectedly. Went and got the battery replaced. Just saw that SMC Firmware 1.6 update deals with this. Possible to get my money back?

    The firmware update corrects an error that may occur, however the techs would have checked the condition of the battery prior to installing a new one.  If the battery was questionable, the firmware update was really not too important.
    You can check the battery condition by going to the apple, left side of the menu bar, About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Power and see what it says about Cycle Count, Condition, Capacity: Condition anything but Normal needs to be checked and may need to be replaced.
    The cycle count of 1,000 charge cycles is the typical life of a Lithium-Ion battery, the point at which the capacity drops to 80% of the as built capacity.

  • I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. After long hours, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the content works.

    I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. The title of the mails stored in the mailbox appear, but the content was unavailable.
    After 4 long hours at the phone with the Apple staff unable to help me, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the contents of the mails stored there become available.
    Please, make this solution available to other people!

    You have found the the way to share it.   Include your problem and its solution in a forum post in the Mavericks forums.   Then mark you own post with a green solved star.
    Note.  You won't get any points for that; points are only awarded where you mark someone else's post as either helpful or solved.

    Hello
    Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
    With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
    I was like ????#$%?&*(???
    Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
    Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! -  is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
    The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
    How to disable it ??
    Simple question - can't find the answer !

    Helllooo !?
    sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
    Thanks !!

  • How to stop the Dialog from being dragged

    I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
    while a dialog is showing.
    When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
    I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

    If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
    Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
    if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
    JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
    JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
    ... code here ...
    As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.

  • Where in migration process does old server stop functioning as primary server?

    I am migrating from a SBS 2003 box to a new WS 2012 R2 Essentials box - following the instructions from 
    "Migrate from Previous Versions to Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials or Windows Server Essentials Experience".   What I need to know is where in the process does
    the old server stop functioning as a server for my network.   What I mean by this is when in the migration process (when I add the new server as a replicate DC?  not until I demote the old server?) will any programs/databases on the old server no
    longer be available to client computers?  
    Thanks for any insight.

    Yeah, we need to agree on what is meant by "the server". In Windows, Server means many different things. Each time you move, a role or feature from the "old" to the "new" the old server ceases to function as "the server"
    for that role or feature. The basic functions of a Windows DC include Active Directory, 5 FSMO roles, file and print services, and application services to name just a few.
    So the answer to your question is more to do with what you mean by "server".  In particular, for the application role, you must move the app to the new server by whatever means the developer recommends.  At that point, regardless of whatever
    else is going on the old server is out of the picture for that application.
