IPhoto and iDVD working together

I've just finished organizing about 500 photos in iPhoto 6. I wanted to export them directly to iDVD, but was unable to, so I exported them to a Quicktime movie and then into iDVD.
However, I want to add "titles" so we remember where we were, etc., and I don't know how to do it. Obviously, I could do it if I exported to iMovie, but I didn't see that option, and actually, the Quicktime to iDVD gives a nice slideshow effect that I like.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Hello Susan,
you cannot directly export your photos/slideshow to iMovie. you can however
1. export as QT movie, then import that into a new iMovie project
2. create a new iMovie project and import your pictures from the "Photos" tab. by doing so you can apply all the same effects and transitions as in iMovie.
if you choose option 2, be aware that there seems to be a bug described in this thread by Karl Petersen:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2105598&#2105598
if you mainly work with photos you might want to have a look at a software that seems to be doing a very good job:

Will iPhoto and iDVD work on Yosemite from Snow Leopard

Having something from browsers (Firefox) trying to open a program I did not authorize (shut the computer down and saw the "open box" icon and asking if I want to abort or keep going, computer shut it down) or Gmail does not support my version of Safari anymore, worried about security if I use it. So thinking of updating the operating system. I have a Mac Mini and fall into the parameters to upgrade. Finding sketchy information on issues with iDVD or iPhoto when upgrading. Am I causing issues with those programs if up go to Yosemite? I know my Microsoft office won't work, but it is over 12 years old so I should probably upgrade it anyway. Also wondering if Garage Band will keep working. Thanks.

In my opinion I would recommend purchasing an external hard drive that is the same capacity as your computer's hard drive. Then clone you computer's drive to the external drive:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
       it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
If you need to restore your old system, then boot the computer from the clone, erase the internal drive, and restore the clone:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
       it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
      the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external backup drive. Destination means the internal startup drive. Note that the Source and Destination are reversed.
To boot from the clone:
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
      "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the disk icon for the disk with the clone.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.

IPhoto and iDVD won't open after I reinstalled iLife '08

I was unhappy with iMovie '08, so I tried to load an older version from my iLife '05. However, it copied over all of my iLife '08 apps. I was hoping it would give me the option of just installing the iMovie app. Everything opened except for iPhoto and iDVD. I then reinstalled iLife '08, to try and fix the problem, from the bundled software that came with the computer. But still, iPhoto and iDVD don't open. Here's what iPhoto report says...

delete all of your iLife applications and your iLife receipts - do not do anything with your iPhoto library
Install iLife '08 and go to the Apple downloads page and download iPhoto 06 (a free download for iLife '08 owners) and install it and you will have the best of both worlds iLife '08 and iMovie 06

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

Lost iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD when hard drive crashed.

I owned my iMac since 2007 and my first OS was 10.4. As far back then, my iMac came with iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD already installed. Since 2011, I had OS 10.6 on my iMac. Two weekends ago, my hard drive crashed and lost many applications, including iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD. I still had a copy of 10.6 on a disc and reinstalled it and even updated it to the version I had before my HD crashed. I notice that iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD are not in my computer anymore.
I visited the download section on the Apple website and have found versions of iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD that would be compatable with OS 10.6.8, but for some reason I can't install them. I was able to install iPhoto, but can't open it. I can't even install iDVD. I haven't tried to install iMovie.
Is there any way I can install these applications I lost? I realize purchasing a new copy of iLife is one option, but the version that is out now is not compatable with OS 10.6.8.

I visited the download section on the Apple website and have found versions of iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD that would be compatable with OS 10.6.8, but for some reason I can't install them.
These are not applications. They are updaters for the applications.
You will have got a disk with your Mac that had the applications on it. You can reinstall from that.

IPhoto and iDVD are crashing after pushing the application icon

Hi, I´ve got some serious troubles with iPhoto and iDVD after I updated iLife to the current version. Of course I performed an online update in addition. As soon I try to start one of the applications each of them crashes immediately. I already deleted the udder and system caches, it didn´t cause any improvement. Hope sone of you guys has a solution.

Hello JohnnyChin95,
You absolutely can just reinstall OS X Mavericks without having to erase and install. The steps to do that are almost the same as the only thing you do differently is that you do not go to Disk Utility to erase the drive. Just go to the Reinstall OS X option and pick your Hard Drive and follow the on screen instructions to get it going. Check out the article below for the step by step process.

IPhoto and iDVD project is missing

I recently worked very hard on an editing problem for a friend and (since I am new to macs) noticed that there isn't a save tab on the iPhoto menu, this was not a problem though as I noticed that when I reopened iPhoto all of my worked was saved. I went back into iPhoto to make a few changes to the slide presentation that I was making and now it's GONE! Everything I worked on for the past few weeks is gone...just gone. It's late and I'm upset. I found the pictures in the picture library, but without the completed iDVD menu I have created. The iDVD file exists, but when I play it it tells me that it is a broken link. Also when I open iDVD i am told that there are several missing files. I did not delete ANYTHING! before I exited out of iPhoto and am wondering where everything went to.
Signed,
VERY VERY UPSET

I'd try using Disk Utility to repair the external disk. Hopefully it will be able to repair any damage. (Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utility folder.
If you have the disk utility DiskWarrior, try that too.

Can the e-mu proteus x and 1212m work together?

Hi
I'm after the Proteus X sound module as well as the 1212M audio card because of the Mastering Grade audio converters.
Will both of thoses cards work together?
Is there a upgrade package to get the Proteus X sounds on the 1212M sound card?
any other ideas or suggestions would be great
Chris

Chriszelno,
Proteus X will work with any of the Digital Audio Systems, including the 1212M. I don't see a Proteus X/1212M bundle on the EMU webpage, but there are some good prices on Recertified B-Stock 1212M's and Proteus X separately in the Bargins and Specials section.
You might consider the Emulator X Vintage Composer bundle which includes the 1212M, Emulator X (which has all the functionality of Proteus X plus much more in the way of sample creation), and the Sounds Beat Shop 2. Currently it shows up as being out of stock on the website, but the 1-800 number on the site will get you in contact with someone who would have up to the minute news on what is available.

İnteresting issue DKA 790GX platinium, pci-e VGA and onboard works together

yesterday i was playing game and i got bsod. then i restarted and device manager found pci-xxx device
then i checked device manager in vga partition, i have hd 6870 and hd 3300 works together. and 4gb of ram is now 3.75gb
but i connected pci-e vga and works well. how can onboard activate while pci-e vga plug in?
there is an issue about bios? it is latest bios 1.G installed.
i have to rollback bios to 1.F? anyone meet same issue like me?

Alright, so the module is already loaded. However, I was able to run ekiga and get it to work fine with sudo. When I attempt to run at console from my user account I get:
(ekiga:7290): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strchug: assertion `string != NULL' failed
I've checked all the permissions and everything looks correct, but I am not sure how to check if its udev causing a problem or some other mysterious permission I am unaware of.

Will iMovies and iDVDs work on PC Computers?

I am planning to make some short instructional movies on iMovies and put them on a DVD with iDVD for use in my classroom [make that classrooms]. I was just wondering what format to export my movies in, given that I will be using them on a variety of PC computers at school i.e. which format is most likely to be compatible with the widest range of PC machines?
thanks

Hi
As unlecho writes - iDVD makes standard video-DVDs.
To get best result possibly
• Do not use "Share to iDVD" - in any iMovie version
• Best result will be by using - iMovie HD6 and iDVD - Close iMovie and Import from within iDVD (alt. is FinalCut)
• If You only have iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - Then "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD or other res.)
Yours Bengt W

My Keynote and iPhoto are not working together to build stacked photos

I am new to the Mac world (1st day on the Mac) and I am trying to stack 3 photos on to one Keynote slide. I cannot get my photos in iPhoto to come up when I click on Media.
What am I doing wrong?

We need clarification here.
Please don't just state version numbers, also state which software. iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher. Leopard is OSX 10.5.8. You have two alternatives right now. One is to stay with Leopard for a while (ultimately you should upgrade) and install iTunes 10.6.3 which is the last version to work with Leopard. This should work with iOS6 on an iPhone4. The other is to call Apple and order OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and upgrade the computer to 10.6.8 which will allow you to run iTunes 10.7. The caveat is we know nothing about which computer you run and if it even can run any system higher than Leopard.
Here is iTunes 10.6.3
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
If you want to try upgrading:
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present). If it says something about Intel or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo in the processor you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (assuming you have sufficient RAM/"memory"). If it says PPC or PowerMac, you cannot.
Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
It would help when posting issues here if you would state exact error messages you see. "It's still not working!" while a description of the situation does not speed us to a diagnosis of the underlying issue.

UPDATED TO OS X 10.5.8 FROM 10.4.11 AND NOW IPHOTO AND IDVD WON' T WORK

Hi Don.
You are most likely using the older version of iLife, which was made for Tiger, and will not work with Leopard. Did you happen to get iLife '08 with Leopard?

How does systemd, wpa_supplicant, and dhcpcd work together? rtl8188su

I'm running arch with alarm (done a pacman -Syu to get latest everything) on an original Raspberry Pi model B.
I'm using a Belkin USB adapter which is really a Realtek rtl8188su chip, which is recognized with the r8712u module. I want to do it all from the command line (not running a GUI, as this Pi won't be having a display attached.)
The system recognizes the built-in Ethernet, and dhcpcd assigns it an IP address, so I can SSH into it and try to bring up the wlan0 interface.
I'm an old-school Linux/UNIX hacker, but I haven't had a lot of experience with systemd, nor with wpa_supplicant or even much of udev, so I'm a bit lost in trying to make this work.
I made sure wpa_supplicant and wpa_cli were installed. Then I edited /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf to add my ssid/passphrase, and saved it as /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.wlan0.conf. I also did "systemctl enable wpa_supplicant," and I've rebooted.
The status of the system is that it does not enable the wlan0 interface. Further, the wpa_cli tool does not work. If I run just "wpa_cli" or with a command like "wpa_cli list" then I get the error:
could not connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory
This is weird, because wpa_supplicant is running in dbus listen mode:
[root@alarmpi ~]# ps alx | grep [w]pa
0 0 94 1 20 0 5636 1416 poll_s Ss ? 0:00 /usr/sbin//wpa_supplicant -u
Each time I boot, I get this message in /dev/log/messages.log:
Nov 10 01:40:06 alarmpi kernel: [ 648.082619] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
Now, if I insted does "systemctp stop wpa_supplicant" and start it manually, it does bring up the interface:
[root@alarmpi ~]# wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.wlan0.conf

TX errors 0 dropped 1 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
[root@alarmpi ~]#
However, dhcpcd is not auto-launched to provide an IP address to the interface.
So, how is this supposed to work? How am I supposed to configure the system so that all the pieces click together? It should start wpa_supplicant with the right config data, and/or configure it over dbus correctly, and it should make sure dhcpcd is then invoked to obtain an IP address. I have *no idea* how to actually configure this to do the right thing, because all the tutorials and documentation I can find on the web is either very abstract ("services live in /usr/lib/systemd/...") or just claim that things "will magically work" if I have the correct configuration.
Help! Don't know what to do next!

Your manual wpa_supplicant invocation result looks good, so the major hurdle you have taken already.
For wireless you need a management method that acts as interface to wpa_supplicant and dhcp and watches the connection. Before you browse off to archlinuxarm, also read the non-abstract introduction here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … management

Using iPhoto and PhotoShop Elements together

Hi all,
I purchased my lovely little MacBook Pro a week ago and the onyl problem I have had so far is dealing with iPhoto.
I love using iPhoto to upload and browse my photos, however I prefer editing them in Photoshop Elements.
I have found I have the following problems:
- Cannot open a photo from within Photoshop Elements
I have got around this my right-clicking the iPhoto Library folder within Pictures, selecting the Open Selected Items (or something like that), then when I have found the photo, again right-clicking and saying Open with PhotoShop Elements.
Is there an easier way to do this?
- Once I have edited my photo in Photoshop Elements, I can't view the edited photo in iPhoto.
Any ideas?
- In iPhoto, I like to create an Album of photos I would like to edit or upload to my online development company, but iPhoto doesn't seem to save albums in any searchable fashion, so I have to manually move each one into a folder on my desktop. This creates 2 copies of the same photo, which will eventually use a lot of hard disk space.
Is there an easier way to do this?
Many thanks,

Sascha
As Larry points out, you need to set PSE as an external editor.
The Right Click Hack is unsuported, and more importantly, is precisely why you can't see the changes in iPhoto.
You can set Photoshop as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically.
- In iPhoto, I like to create an Album of photos I would like to edit or upload to my online development company, but iPhoto doesn't seem to save albums in any searchable fashion, so I have to manually move each one into a folder on my desktop. This creates 2 copies of the same photo, which will eventually use a lot of hard disk space.
Albums are virtual entities - there is no corresponding folder of images. So, create the album, do your edits as described above, then to upload, if you're development doesn't have an iPhoto export plug in, select the Pics and go File -> Export and export them to a folder on the desktop. iPhoto will create a copy of the pics incorporating your changes. Upload from there - and after your upload is finished, trash the copies on the desktop - your pics are safe in iPhoto.
