Imovie share menu "not available"

I've looked and can't find what must be a real simple explanation. I'm totally new to multimedia, and fairly new
to Mac.
I wanted to put an Obama speech on DVD so I can view it at lenght in compfort on my TV.
I downloaded the flv file, converted to mp4 using iSquint, imported to iMovie.
I get lots of frames. Can view starting at any point, and it looks and sounds good
Now, from whatever I can find, I should be able to export to iDVD in one or two ways using the "share" menu. But the share menu is completely grayed out, and nothing there is selectable.
Oh. I've got a relatively new intel imac, running leopard 10.5.2, and just did the software update.
What obvious thing am I missing? Is there another better approach (without buying new software)?

Thanks, Matt.
My continuing problem is that I can read faster than
I can watch and listen, and I couldn't find a written
"how to". But the little movie tutorial got me the
answer pretty quickly. (less time than I spent looking
for a written "how to").
One problem is, listening to (and watching) a movie tutorial
on any subject doesn't always answer a question. One doesn't
know till its over. But one can scan a written "how to".
Thanks aagain!

  • Share option not available

    I have completed a project and when I go to share it I do not have the option, everything is grayed out. Also when i got to select a clip to change the length, it simply says no clip selected even though i can see everything in my project window.

    I have the same problem - in fact, none of the options under the "share" menu are available.

    Firefox use the term Bookmarks, instead of favourites/favorites.
    Firefox also has several advanced features see also

  • IDVD not in iMovie share menu

    Can anyone say why "Share to iDVD" doesn't show up in the share menu of iMovie. Ive run iDVD and restarted my iMac thinking its because i have never used iDVD yet but it didn't solve my problem, any help will be much appreciated.

    Are you sure that you are using iMovie '09? The reason I ask is that the previous version, iMovie '08, did not have an option to share to iDVD directly, whereas '09 does have that option.
    Click on "iMovie" in the Menu, then on "About iMovie". The latest version for '09 is 8.0.6 ('08 is version 7 but not sure of the last update number).

  • "New root object" menu not available

    I'm using SJS Directory Server 5.2patch3 on Solaris 9, installed silently through state file and all seems to work fine (even if I don't understand why I have to repeat the installation more than one time since the first one doesn't create the proper directory structure inside the installation directory).
    Through the Server Console, I created then a new subfix (o=people,dc=my) with its individual database under the userRoot (dc=my) and now I'm trying to create a new root object under the configuration panel (o=people which would reference to the dedicated database created in the previous step). That menu option is not available, which appears a bit strange since I'm logged in as cn=Directory Manager, which should have the proper rights to complete this operation.
    The only solution would be to initialize the database through an LDIF file but I don't have a clue about all the attributes I should assign to that organization, acis ecc. It would be simpler to use the console; at least, I'm curious WHY the console doesn't allow to accomplish that step.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Fabio

    The "New Root Object" task only appears if you created a new suffix.
    Have you done a right-click on the server or on the "dc=my" entry?
    Tested this for you some minutes ago with DS5.2Patch3 on Solaris9/SPARC and it worked out fine.

  • Mozilla edit menu not available. Customize does not provide way to turn on menu bars, still don't have view or edit

    My edit toolbar is not available. None of Google help's suggestions work. Customize does NOT have a tab to turn on menu bars - I have reset Mozilla and I am not on full screen. Thanks for any help

    The classic Menu Bar is not displayed by default, so after Reset, it will not appear immediately. To turn on the Menu Bar, try one of these:
    * right-click a blank area of the tab bar
    * right-click the "+" button on the tab bar
    * tap the Alt key to display the classic Menu Bar temporarily, then View > Toolbars
    * in Customize, try the Show/Hide Toolbars button
    Any luck?

  • AppleWorks color menu not available

    I've tried to find the color menu and was told to trash preferences and restart but prefs is not available either. Please let me know what I can do to get my color back and also what could have happened to the
    file preferences. Thanks.

    Hello
    The "Text Color" menu, at least when we are working in a text document is available at the very bottom of the menu "Text".
    I never saw a corrupted preference file removing this menu item.
    If you are missing the Text color BUTTON, it is an other story.
    You may have a corrupted "AppleWorks 6 Button Bars" preference file.
    Or you may have removed the button from the button bar.
    If you did that, look at the help for the chapter beginning with:
    Adding or removing Button Bar buttons
    AppleWorks comes with many preconfigured buttons for common tasks. You can add these controls to the Button Bar.
    To add a preconfigured button to the Button Bar:
    1 Choose Preferences from the AppleWorks menu, then choose Button Bar from the submenu.
    2 Drag the preconfigured button from the Available Buttons list to the Button Bar.
    Tip: You can also double-click the button in the list to add it to the Button Bar.

  • Updating podcasts: Full menu not available

    I cannot force my podcasts to update by choosing the menu on the podcast when there is no specific podcast available on my iTunes. The full menu is available when the Podcast gropu has at least one specific podcast in it.

    I had the same problem. I don't know if Apple screwed this up and its a bug or something but how I fixed it is instead of using the list view you have to view the podcasts in the "cover" view {the middle button in the view options} and then you can click on each podcasts and the full menu is there for each one.

  • TS4196 Share Screen not available

    I have tried to use the "Share Screen" function in Messages beta, but I notice that the option is shaded out.  When I asked someone to send me an invitation to share their screen from iChat, I do not appear as available to them.  My setting show I'm available. ??

    Hi,
    No.
    Apple effectively let AIM or rather seems to give AIM the Apple IDs so that when you go to either https://settings.aim.com/ with @mac.com names or try to "re-register" and name at the registration page  you will get a message about the name being in use.
    At the AIM registration page the full name of the account is technically [email protected]
    However in most cases the username  is normally what you use in AIM capable messaging apps.
    It is possible to activate the name as email as a separate step.
    Currently you may have older @mac.com names from Apple as well as @me.com and @icloud.com issued by the iCloud registration process.
    In Messages and iChat 6 all these variants will work.
    However in iChat 5 and earlier version only the @mac.com names will work due to this Dual Login that the last two version make to me.com as well as AIM.com that allows the password to be "read".
    Summary.
    You can't "re-register" an Apple ID as AIM are already aware of it.
    AIM can't "see" the password until iChat tells them they can look.
    In iChat 6 and Message this includes and extra step that is created by the app also logging in to Me.com and this then confirms that AIM can "read" the password.
    AIM names can be any other email if you wish your name to be that email. [email protected] for example  ([email protected] for another).
    However creating a new name and to show it will be a name that is @Aim.com but this suffix is rarely used in any app - relying on the username only part.
    It can be made to be an active email as a separate step.

  • Image Resize Menu not available

    According to Mail Help, when I insert an image into an email, there is supposed to be an image resize menu in the lower right portion of the window and a message size indicator in the lower left of the window. Neither of these are appearing for me. I have tried attaching an image in a number of different ways with the "insert attachment at end of message" both on and off. Any ideas out there?

    I've got the same problem. It only occurred after upgrading to Leopard.
    Before it worked fine. (Leopard is for me not a success on this moment: my pages just stopped working, can't connect via bleutooth to my phone anymore using addressbook, eyeTV also stops at random and restarts are occurring often. I'm starting to get that 'trow this stupid thing out the window' feeling i had during my MS windows era.

  • IPhoto share extension not available

    I’ve been accustomed in iPhoto to sending photos through Outlook (Outlook for Mac) Mail. However, in the new Photos Share ‘Apple and third party extension’ selection box, the options to use the extensions ‘Messages’, ‘Outlook Mail’ and ‘AirDrop’ are greyed out, and I cannot find any way to enable them. Since I downloaded Photos, this option is also greyed out in the iPhoto app.
    Furthermore, and, for me, more importantly, since installing Photos (and OS X 10.10.3), I’m unable, using the Outlook attachment button, to attach photo images to emails (from Outlook) from the Photos folder, because this folder (which to date has been the source of the images I attach to Outlook emails) now contains only a small crop of Photo Booth images.
    At the moment I seem to be deprived of both options to attach photos to Outlook emails, both of which were available before Photos installed. Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Michael Dalton

    Okay, I just figured this out but it leaves me with another question. Once I switched to wifi, they options showed up. Bizarre. Why won't this work on a wired Internet connection?

  • Restart menu not available

    I have an H520. Under Windows 8, I was able to get to the advanced restart options using the charm. I did this in order to disable driver signing so I could get Gbridge to work. Then I upgraded to 8.1. Now when I go to the restart options, on restarting, the monitor goes to sleep and I do not get any menu. Something is there because pressing enter causes the machine to reboot. I have tried accessing the BIOS (hold shift when shutting down then press F1 when it restarts) but nothing happens.
    Do you have any advice?

    If you are on Mac OSX running Time Machine with a Backup External Drive try this:
    1. Close Firefox.
    2. Navigate on your Hard Drive to User/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/~Folder that will say 'default'~/sessionstore.js
    3. Click on sessionstore.js
    4. Enter Time Machine.
    5. Navigate to a 'Safe Time' just before Firefox crashed and lost your Tabs (like an hour or two).
    6. When Time Machine goes back to the selected time, making sure "sessionstore.js" is still highlighted, click RESTORE on bottom right of Time Machine window.
    7. You`ll be asked by Time Machine to either replace, rename or keep both files and seeing as your present "sessionstore.js" has lost all your Tabs, you`ll want to simply REPLACE it with the Time Machine Backup File.
    8. Re-Open Firefox and you`ll see that the RESTORE PREVIOUS SESSION option is restored, click and Voila!
    Worked for me-THANK THE GODS for Time Machine!!
