IDVD won't let me drop quicktime to burn

I have used iDVD several times to make DVDs for clients, etc.
It won't let me drop any quicktime videos in the content portion. When I choose to add media content, it puts an exclamation point next to time and says unlinked file.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have 40 Gigs and dragged from an external onto my Desktop. I have moved them around from a few drives. I tried to link from original source and still no luck.
I tried deleting the apple.plist file once too.
I read something about needing to revert back to iDVD 7.02 or something.
I can't figure out how to change the latest version to an older version, it talked about changing the contents and all that, but without a step by step, I was lost.
See this below: I can't even find 7.0.2 online to download and then have no idea how to change all this information. Any suggestions?
Apply the iDVD 7.0.3 update as usual (manual download).
Download the iDVD 7.0.2 update.
Mount the iDVD 7.0.2 update (iDVD_702.dmg), but don't open its installer package. Instead, open Terminal and copy the package archive to a temporary location: sudo cp "/Volumes/iDVD 7.0.2/iDVD_702.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz" /tmp/iDVD702.pax.gz.
Unzip the archive copy (sudo gunzip /tmp/iDVD702.pax.gz) to produce the iDVD702.pax archive in /tmp.
Create a temporary folder and unarchive the pax file there:
$ sudo mkdir /tmp/iDVD702-update
$ cd /tmp/iDVD702-update
$ sudo pax -r -p e -f /tmp/iDVD702.pax
Now the iDVD 7.0.2 update pieces are in /tmp/iDVD702-update.
Copy the iDVD 7.0.2 executable to its proper place:
sudo ditto /tmp/iDVD702-update/Applications/iDVD.app/Contents/MacOS/iDVD /Applications/iDVD.app/Contents/MacOS/iDVD

Iphoto won't let me drop photos to photostream?

In iPhoto I'm trying to drag a photo from one of my folders and drop it into photostream. It won't let me. Does anyone know why? Do I need to drag it from my library folder? (I'm not at my computer, this is why I'm asking, as I can't try it at this moment.)

yes, photostream is enabled and I have seen it function properly. What I'm trying to do is essentially the reverse. I'm at work (without my imac) trying to talk my husband into dropping the photo I need into photostream from my macs iphoto, so I can access it with my ipad2 at work. He is telling me it won't let it drop into the photostream folder....it just "falls off." He was trying to drag it from one of my folders in iPhoto and not from the "photos" folder. Wopuld this make a difference? It would be simple to ask him to simply drag from my photos folder, but I cant imagine he would ever be able to find it (orignal photo,) to be able to try it.

I made an imovie project that's over 2 hours so iDVD won't let me burn it onto a DVD. What do I do?

I made an iMovie project that's over 2 hours long so iDVD won't let me burn it onto a DVD. What do I do now?

Would I need to switch the disk in the middle of it burning so it can burn the other side
No, you do not flip over the disk. The dual-layers are both on the same side of the disk. You can't see them, they are just there, and iDVD will do what is necessary if it needs to burn both layers.
You would only flip over a disk if it were a "double-sided" disk. That's an entirely different kind of disk and it has only one layer on each side. Those are much older kinds of disks that were used commercially before the advent of dual-layer disks. I don't know anyone who uses them any more.

My itunes playlists won't let me drop any songs into them.

my itunes 9 playlists won't let me drop any songs into them. If I try to drag a song from my library and drop it, the playlist won't highlight. So strange. This just started happening. Any thoughts?

When I go into Payment Method it says "Paypal is not supported on this device. To manage or change your payment method, go to the iTune Store on your computer. Then in "Red" it says "There's a billing problem with a previous purchase. Please enter another payment method." I have went into the iTune store and have changed my payment method and also called Paypal and my account has no problem. It still keeps getting this same message when I try to purchase an app.

X won't let me drop to console

I've got X setup along with KDE and KDM, but X isn't letting me drop to console by the use of ctrl-alt-f1-4. It just goes to a black screen and I can't even get it to go back to KDE after doing this. If any config files would help diagnosing the problem please let me know.

On the KDM screen, you will see a drop down menu that will allow you to select a number of options.
You can choose one of your WM or desktops or you can choose to go back to a console login screen instead.
That should solve your dilemma. otherwise you want to Ctrl + Alt + Backspace and initiate 'init 3' to get to a login and when you want to go back to kdm just go back to init 5

Logic Won't Let Me 'Drop' .Wav Files Into A Session??

Hi all,
Trying to simply drag and drop .wav files from a folder on an external hard drive into an empty Logic Pro 9 session. The audio tracks are stereo (have also tried mono) and the input/outputs seem to be fine. The session is also saved to the external. I am not using an external audio interface.
I have also tried importing using the 'File-->import' commands and this allows me to import one file at a time, but not in bulk. This seems odd as I could've sworn I didn't have this problem in past attempts.
Let me know your thoughts please!
Ps. Logic rules, but I'm very tempted to get acquainted with Pro Tools!

Are you sure they are audio tracks, and not MIDI or Instrument tracks?
Ha ha... Yes I am sure. A good thought, though I did double checked this before posting the problem.
Could it be something to do with the sample rate? Ie. the audio files were recorded at a certain sample rate and now I need to make it match with the sample rate in Logic?

MacBook won't let me trash Quicktime iMovie clips?? Whatup?

I am trying to trash a Quicktime imovie clip. When I drag the clip in the trash, I am asked to give my password. Then I get the message:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
Have any of you dealt with this? Any tips?
Thanks,
Eddie

Thank you so much. You rock.
I'm going through the process of trying to clean up my hard drive. My MacBook has been serving me well for 3 years now and I'm trying to avoid the fatigue that my past Macs have suffered from. Let me know if you have any maintenance tips.

Pages won't let me drop the cursor

I'm using Pages 5.5.2 on a Mid 2009 Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
I have created a document by cutting and pasting text out of a pdf. I then formatted the text, re-arranged paragraphs, etc. I have been working in the file for a week with no issues until today.
The first half of the document works as expected.
The second half of the document: I can't drop the cursor, select text, etc.
If I start with the cursor in the first half of the document and move it with the arrow keys into the second half, I can delete and add text.
I'm stumped.

The plot thickens: I have been editing with Track Changes enabled. When the markups are visible I am able to access those sections. When viewing the Final version, some of the section are no longer editable again (even though they used to be).
My suspicion is the software has a limited capacity to keep unaccepted changes unresolved.
This document is a specification for a building - 347 pages long, and I have 71 unaccepted changes in the first half of the document. I need to be able to never accept those changes, if possible.

Event won't let drop Node, Manual Node won't let drop Event

Hi, I am using OEM 9.2. I tried to register an event but the target was manually defined, so it went to pending state. I tried to drop the node to rediscover it, but the pending event won't let me. So the event won't let me drop the node and the node won't let me drop the event, so I'm stuck. Can anybody help please?

Found it, have to bounce the OEM server with the Intelligent Agent stopped!

Installing new iTunes version and won't let me advance past QuickTime

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!
ok so I'm attempting to update my iPhone 3G to the new 3.0 software and I CANNOT install new iTunes version 8.2.0.23 because as soon as installation begins it starts running the QuickTime install and says "A newer version of QuickTime is already installed. This installation cannot proceed while the newer version of QuickTime is installed". Funny thing is....it won't let me uninstall QuickTime because it gives me the same error as mentioned before...someone PLEASE HELP ME! my phone is stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen and so i'm without a phone currently. PLEASE REPLY SOON!!

Okay. Let's try removing your existing QuickTime by other means than the "Uninstall a program" control panel.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Now launch Windows Installer CleanUp ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"), find any QuickTime entries in the list of programs in CleanUp, select those entries, and click “remove”.
Next, we'll manually remove any leftover QuickTime program files:
(1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
(2) Open the Program Files folder.
(3) Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
(4) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
(5) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
(6) Restart your computer.
Now try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly now?

IMovie won't let me select to share to iDVD

I have a project in iMovie and when I click on 'Share' it won't let me select iDVD. I then tried to open it from iDVD but it said it wasn't shared to media browser. So I went back on iMovie and clicked on Share to media browser but the only options it has given me is 'Mobile' and 'Tiny'.
My project is for television, possibly HD. So I want it in a bigger format.
Can anyone help me please?

1) What camera did you use to shoot this video?
2) Right-click on a clip in your Event. Select Reveal in Finder. Right-click on this highlighted Finder Clip. Select OPEN WITH.../QuickTime Player. In QuickTime Player, click Command I to open the Inspector. Tell us everything you see next to the word FORMAT: and any dimensions you see.

ITunes won't let me drag and drop anymore

Last friday, I closed my Macbook and it never started again. I bought a new one. The guy at the Mac Store said, "Just plug in your iPhone, enter your pw, and everything will work like it used to." Of course, I left the store thinking, "No way is that going to happen," but I didn't stay and fight. Of course, I plugged in my iPhone, immidately my Mac started saying, "You do not have sufficient permissions." To get rid of it, I read a post that said I should select to sync and then unsync everything from the phone (which deleted everything of course, but I'm not that upset about). Anyhow, the iPhone syncs now, but the lingering issue is that my old computer let me drag and drop MP3 files directly from my Finder window to the iPhone music library in iTunes. I DID NOT HAVE TO USE THE ITUNES LIBRARY AND I DID NOT HAVE TO CREATE PLAYLISTS. (I hate people who capitolize things, but I've read in several other posts where people say, "That was never possible to drag and drop, you always had to create playlists." No, you did not. I gurantee you because I've never done it). To state it just once more, I did NOT load the songs into iTunes, then go from iTunes to the iPhone, but instead, with iTunes open, and the iPhone plugged it, I would select the mp3 in the Finder window, then drag it to the part of iTunes which allows me access to the iPhone, and the iPhone section of iTunes (not the main iTunes library on my Macbook, but the iPhone itself) would become highlighted in blue, then I would release the trackpad and the song would load onto the iPhone (but never be associated with or loaded into the iTunes library for my Macbook).
Now when I drag the mp3 over, the iPhone section stays gray and won't let me do it.
How can I fix this? I detest iTunes. I'd be in love with Apple completely if it weren't for iTunes, which is constantly broken and never works. I'm happy with my music stored in my own filing mechanism, with my own method of tagging them, and I don't want to conform, I don't want to "get used to it."
Please someone tell me how to fix this! (Before it messes up my iPad as well).
PS... Of course, in the time my computer broke and I bought the new one, Apple released yet another updated version of iTunes, which they forced me to update before I could even use it. So, I don't know if the phone didn't sync over correctly or the update didn't work.

Oh, also want to add that the PC I'm currently using is:
Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
My other PC was:
Windows 7 Ultimate
My MacBook is:
Max OSX 10.5.something (the last update available for it. .8 maybe? haha)
Not sure if this stuff is important, but I thought I'd add it.

Firefox for Mac preferences shows .qif file format for quicken as "quicktime image format"-wrong application and won't let me select anything else

Post to Firefox forum; Oct.2011
Re: Quicken 2007; Mac OS 10.5
Problem: can’t import or download Qif format files into quicken from bofa or Chase. Mac can’t recognize; how do I set preferences in Firefox (or Safari).
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/new?product=desktop&category=d1&search=Firefox+for+Mac+preferences+shows+.qif+file+format+for+quicken+as+%22quicktime+image+format%22-wrong+application+and+won%27t+let+me+select+anything+else&showform=1
Hello,
I previously used Firefox on my old Mac G4 with OS 10.3.9; the above issue existed with that system and Firefox 2.00.2 (or similar). I then "tried" to move to a G5 Mac with OS 10.5, hoping that an updated Mac Operating system and updating Firefox would solve that problem.
I'm now working on my son's MacBook Pro, OS 10.5.8, 2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo; 2gb Memory; 2 gb 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM.
I still have a problem in Firefox Preferences trying to download .qif files. BofA Mortgage accounts only allow downloading of .qif files. My .qfx download works fine, but the error message is as follows:
The error message is that this is a corrupted file or one that Preview doesn't recognize.
and it is still a problem when trying to download Quicken .qif format files for our B of A mortgage.
The preferences for Firefox under File Helpers won't let me name the extension I want; instead, it CONFUSES .qif (Quicken Interchange Format) with .qtif (Quicktime Image Format) for Mac.
Therefore, when I download .qif files and try to import them to Quicken, I get a message that this is a corrupted file:
thanks for any help.
Val in Seattle

Well, in the end, I just gave up and deleted the photos, in the hope that it was something to do with them. Took some more photos and they seem to have imported without any problems at all.
Given that the same irksome photos loaded on the wife's macbook without so much as a murmur, how weird is that?
Still- all's well that ends well. Thanks for the suggestions- much appreciated.
