Ipod chapter names

I used iMovie HD to create a movie file to play on my iPad. Everything except the chapter names worked well, in iMovie all of the chapters were given names, but when the iPod movie was create the names are Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. Any idea what went wrong?

Thanks, Tom. I found that feature a couple of hours after I posted but thought I'd leave the post there in case there were other solutions.

Can Apple TV display special characters in movie chapter names?

I have an Apple TV 2.0.1. I have encoded my own movies with descriptive chapter names, imported them into iTunes 7.6.2.9, and synced them to my Apple TV. Does the Apple TV have the ability to display special characters (ó, û, etc.) in movie chapter names? The movies play fine and in iTunes the chapter names are all displayed correctly. I also have an iPod Touch 1.1.4 and it can display the chapter names with special characters fine as well. When playing the movies on Apple TV, only the chapters that have special characters in them display nothing at all for the chapter name. All the other chapters display fine.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
I can't really confirm your observation one way or the other, I don't use chapter names. I suspect though that your observations are correct. Unusual characters can often cause issues in a variety of ways, illegal characters in your filenames for example can cause the video not to be found at all or in some cases simply not play. If you are using ie instead of safari for example the  in my welcome my well not display properly whereas others will clearly see it as an apple symbol.

Cannot edit chapter names in iDVD after importing movie from iMovie

I have no trouble customizing iDVD (version 5.0.1) menu page after importing iMovie directly (instead of going to QT as interim step). But the names of the chapter markers are file names for video clips, title pages and transitions. The iMovie help says to change the names in the space next to the 'thumbnails' of chapters found in iDVD. THERE ARE NO THUMBNAILS. And there is no way I could find, using menu options or clicking on the chapter frames shown in 'map' mode to type in anything.
There are other problems, like getting rid of the default "Travel Cards' stuff...like I can drop a still photo in for a custom background, but the default 'celluloid design' banner still rolls up in previw mode. If you can also help with that, great. But the main thing right now is getting these chapter names change.

VJK,
You are the third person who has taken a crack at this. I don't know if you read my last reply which detailed the situation. But if you did and the 'menu' you refer to is the main menu page, that is not the problem; I can change text there. I am talking about the submenu for 'Scene Selections', which I have only been able to access via map mode.
In map mode I cannot highlight the names. Period. Can't do it no matter where I place the cursor or carefully click.
In preview mode, when the Scene Selection sub-menu page appears whenever you drag the cursor over a chapter name it automatically highlights so any clicking will either do nothing (if a real careful click, trying to highlight text and not trigger off play of the movie chapter) or just start play for the movie chapter.
So...how does this newbie get to the 'menu' you mention where I can click on a chapter name in order to type new text?
You will be able to change the names in the menu, but
depending upon your mouse, etc, it can be a little
particular.
Place the cursor at the very beginning of the word
you want to change. Click once .. this should hi-lite
the word. Click again, it should make the word go
blue (or in a blue box) then you can delete and
re-type.
Be sure to save the proj
I have found that even after saving and successfully
burning the project, if I return to it later the
changes seem to have gone away ... so if you go back
to it later, just double check that everything is
kosher

I have a 2nd generation Ipod.
I have it connected to my computer and see (my name) ipod on my screen.
Everytime I try to add a new song to the Ipod, this message comes up and I am not sure what to do:
The Ipod, (my name) is synced with another ITunes library on A74F65. Do you want to erase this Ipod and sync with this ITunes Library?
An Ipod can be synced with only one ITunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this IPod with the contents of this ITunes library.
Then it asks me if I want to delete and sync.
I am not sure what to do for fear of erasing everything I have put on my Ipod.
I would appreciate if someone could help me out.

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use iTunes to play the Music in your iPod but which is not in your itunes library. I don't think Apple design iTunes for use in your way. As to put and play music in iPod, the music has to be in iTunes first, so you play music in the iTunes music Library. the window with Ipod music is just to show you which music are already in the Ipod, in case you want to Manually Manage your huge music library.
Here is the iPod/iTunes manual from the Apple Support Site.

Songs on the iPod "(My Name)'s iPod" cannot be synced because . . .

Okay, so I downloaded a lot of t.v. shows and my ipod was too full. So itunes automatically did something I didn't quite understand (not surprising, I'm so new to Macs). iTunes made a playlist and all my songs went there and it deleted my t.v. shows from my iPod. Today I was trying to figure out how to get those shows back on my ipod. I was trying to erase stuff I didn't want to make space. I guess I erased the new playlist thing that iTunes automatically created. Or did something else weird in my attempt to make room for my shows on my ipod.
Now, when I try to sync it says: Songs on the iPod "(My Name)'s iPod" cannot be synced because all of the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist.
I looked for what I deleted in the trash but couldn't find it . . . probably because I don't know what I'm really looking for.
So now my ipod won't sync. And I'm still not sure how to make room for my t.v. shows on my ipod. And before I screwed up the syncing and looked up how to transfer only selected items I read something about a "Summary Tab" that I can't locate.
I'm really, really stupid when it comes to all this. Sorry. I need lots of help.

Yes, the TV files are the problem, the TV + music libraries exceed the capacity of the iPod, this is why iTunes made that playlist for you. All you will need to do is re-build a playlist or lists, say one music, one TV, with the content you want on your iPod. In your iPod preferences, & I believe it will be the summary tab, ( but I don't have my iPod docked right now), just tell iTunes to sync those 1 or 2 specific playlists to the iPod. This should fix you right up, but please post back if you have any questions.

How do I find the screen with my personal iPod (my name's iPod) so I can download from my purchased or free songs/pods from my computer? My iPod has opened to that for 3 years and this week I can't find it: not on purchased page or on Apple store page.

ITunes cannot read the contents of the iPod " my iPod's name ".

I'm having problems with syncing the 5th gen nano to iTunes 9 on my early 2008 MBP. I had one since September when they came out. It was fine for a while, but then I would get the error message: iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod "<my iPod's name>". It got to where it was happening every other night or every night when I would try to sync. Of course it goes without saying that this makes the video camera unusable, since one can't count on retrieving the videos.
I talked with Apple Support on the phone. They were very good. Led me through a rescue-restore. This was described as more thorough than a normal restore. It involves a non-trivial button sequence. Also per suggestions I quit using a non-powered hub. I had been hooking both my iPod touch2 and my nano5 up to the hub to sync (not enough USB ports).
We tried the rescue-restore and things looked OK, but then a couple days later on the evening sync, the message came back. I should also mention that I use the pedometer feature in always-on mode, so of course that data gets lost as well.
I then went to the local apple store genius bar, and they saw the same error message I got when they plugged it in, so they decided to give me a new nano5.
I figured this was really it, but last night, on the second evening sync since the initial setup, the same error message is back with the new nano5. Feel bad because it now seems likely there was nothing wrong with my first nano5 (unless both are bad the same way - seems unlikely), but at the same time, I can't use any nano5 like things are now.
So now it's time for some detective work. I have both a nano5 and a touch2, and I use pedometer in always-on mode on the nano5. I wonder if those might be clues. Last night when the error occurred, iirc I had previously sync'ed the nano5 ok and ejected. Then I had sync'ed my touch2. I unplugged the touch2 and went to sync the nano5 again to update for some playlist changes, and that's when the error occurred. I wonder if iTunes is somehow getting messed up and thinking it is still dealing with a touch2, and it trounces the nano5?
It's probably a long shot, but I think I read someone else here with the same error message, and had a touch.
Any ideas, would love to hear. I'm planning to try only syncing the nano5 on a fresh start of iTunes for a while, and see if that prevents the problem.
Thanks,
Joe

OK. How do I uninstall iTunes to reinstall it? Is there an uninstaller? Do I have to chase down plist files or other hidden system things I don't know about? Kind of a dumb question maybe, I've been on a mac at home for like five years now, but uninstalling apps is not something I need to do (that's a good thing).
So, yes, the problem happened again, with the new nano, on the second or third nightly sync (not sure how many days have gone by) since the plane to sync the nano first before the touch. Been using the right usb port also, in case that matters. Used to always use the left. The left port has a non-powered hub that has my time machine disk and a super-duper disk on it, along with an iLoc key. Tonight the two usb disks were not plugged in due to being in the process of be traded out for my other pair (I keep a pair offsite as well - backup-paranoid - but that's another topic).
Do you think it could matter what's plugged into the opposite USB port? Not the nano and the touch only go into the right port straight away - no hub.
Kind of a bummer, this. I hope we can figure it out. Thanks for helping...
BTW, I alway keep all my software up to date.

Getting rid of chapter names

I created a DVD in iDVD, with music. I know each photo is a chapter, but how do I keep from the chapter name (in my case the photo name) from displaying on each photo in the slideshow? Feeling dumb.

yeah...I'm pretty sure that's what I did. When I previewed the slideshow in iDVD I didn't see anything. But after I burned the DVD and played it on a different computer, each slide was named chapter 1, chapter 2 and so on...kind of takes away from the photo. I am trying it again, however...in case I'm remembering incorrectly.

How do I change the iPod Device Name?

Headings follow relevant chapter names? Index link to pdf search engine?

I´m new to Pages 09 and haven´t found how to have the page heading contain only the relevant chapter name. I´ve got 8 chapters and want the relevant name at the top of each page, as one usually finds. How is it done?
Can one automatically link the alphabetical word index to the internal pdf search engine when exported as pdf file or does one have to do this by hand?
Thanks for any help in these matters
Neil

Cut your document in sections.
Insert your chapters in different sections.
Doing that you will be able to use the chapter name in the corresponding header.
In page 58 of the User Guide (English version) we may read:
*Changing Headers and Footers in a Section*
You can change headers and footers to be unique to a section. You can also change headers and footers within a section.
To change headers and footers:
1 Place the insertion point in the section.
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Layout button, and then click Section.
3 Deselect “Use previous headers and footers.”
4 Type the new header or footer in the header or footer area of your document.

How to Import Chapter Names Created in Premiere Pro CS6 to Encore CS6?

I edited a sequence in Prmiere Pro CS6 and then I created and named all my Encore Chapter Markers while still in Ppro. I then opened Encore CS6 and used the Adobe Dynamic Link to import my Premiere Pro CS6 sequence into Encore CS6 and created a new timeline from that sequence. I imported a Menu (which I created in Photoshop) and linked the first chapter to button 1 in my menu and then used Create Chapter Index to bhild all the menus. How do I get the Chapter names to automatically appear in these menus without having to retype each one?

Select a button and look at properties. Check the option "Set Name From Link." You can select multiple buttons and do them at one go.

QuickTime Player displaying chapter names at top of screen

I have QuickTime movies created with Final Cut Express, with chapter markers that I use in iDVD. All that works fine. But now I want to take still screen shots of various points in the video, for use in marketing.
I am trying to use QuickTime Player to export still frames from the video. QuickTime Player displays the name of the current chapter in a white bar across the top of the screen. This is also exported when I export that frame to a still image. (The chapter navigation pop-up menu also appears at the bottom of the Player window, so I don't see why the current chapter name has to appear at the top as well).
Is there any way to turn this off, so that the exported still frame doesn't have the white bar across the top with the chapter name? I want pristine still frames, not those with the white bar. Or if it can't be turned off, is there any similar player that I could use, which can export full-size still frames?
Thank you

Go to the movie properties ...Apple key+J....turn the chapter text track off.

Changing "Chapter Name" font

When making an ePub I can't create a new "Chapter Name" with a different font and still have it behave like a Chapter Name style i.e. inserting a page break. I don't want change the original style because it'll affect all Chapter Names. I wouldn't mind this if I could insert a page break but the Chapter Name is the only to do this. Any ideas?

When I put my book in iBooks there is a white boarder around the cover.
Not sure if you are referring to a an "cover art image" problem or a "device display" problem here.
In the latter case, all hardware devices I own, as well as all of the ones I've looked at in stores, have had one common problem --that of dedicating some portion of the display area for the display of info, margins, and/or the "framing" of text and images. For this reason, it is not really possible "not" to have some sort of "border" around an image embedded on a "page" of an ePUB file when viewing the content on most such devices currently available on the market.
In the former case where a "cover art" image is used, a "white" border could be the result of image dropped/imported into iTunes. For instance, most Amazon cover art images are overlaid on a white 500x500 pixel background. Thus, when they are used are dropped/imported to iTunes as cover art, display with a "white" border on the black default background used by most Apple apps/devices such as iTunes, TV, iPad, etc. Borderless cover art images, of course, do not have this problem.
I can "Get Info", load in my cover in the cover art section and it will work fine there but I won't be able to do that when I put my book up for sale. Any ideas?
It is my understanding that dropping/importing a cover art image to iTunes merely "associates" the external image with the content within the iTunes database which then, in turn, passes the cover art images to other devices in an appropriate manner for display on the specifically supported device(s).
Basically, there are two methods of embedding "cover" images within the ePUB file. The first is to include the image on a "page" (usually the first) within your project. This method has the advantage of making/allowing the "cover" to be viewed as the first page of your book. In addition, most applications/devices automatically use this first image/page as a thumbnail icon for readers employing a graphic user interface. The major disadvantage, as you have noted, is that such "cover" art is invariably displayed with some sort of a border.
The second method is to embed an actual "cover" image within the ePUB file in the "Image Folder." The advantage here is that the image is usually of a reduced size requiring less space than a "full page" image. Again, most eReaders will recognize this "cover" file and use it for cover display and/or the graphic interface. The disadvantage, of course, is that this image cannot be viewed as a page of your ePUB book in the reader.
Different applications seem to use different approaches here. Pages, for instance, will, if you use the option during export, take the first page of your project--be it a "full cover page" in-line image in a marginless document, a "full cover page" floating object placed over a margined page, a text "Title" page, or a combination of images and text--remove it from your document, take a snapshot of the page, and place this "cover-image.png" in the ePUB package "OPS > images" folder. Thereafter, this image will be used in the same manner as cover art manually dropped/import to iTunes--i.e., it will display as a icon in the graphic interface and be used as the "cover" for the book in Books as the book opens on the iPad but is store within the ePUB package. On the other hand, since the the associated XHTML file content was deleted during ePUB compilation, it is no longer available for viewing as a regular page.
Legend Maker, on the other hand, goes in the opposite direction. Since you include a source "cover.png" image in your project to begin with, it creates a "cover.html" page in the ePUB package which displays (with the normal limitations) as the first page of your ePUB book and also places the original "cover.png" file in "OEBPS > images" folder which is available for "cover art" icon/graphic use in apps/devices that use them.
So basically, yes, there is a way for Pages to automatically embed the "cover art" functionality formerly manually applied by you in iTunes if this is what you want. Just remember that your "cover art" must entirely cover the Pages document page since this is what is used as the "canvas" for the automatically generated image. If it does not do so, then the image will include a "white" border for any background area(s) left exposed. This may require distorting or cropping the original art as desired/needed.

DVD Chapter Names & Toast7

I am transfering camcorder video to DVD. I import and edit the project in FCP and export using Compressor. I add(and name) chapter markings either in FCP or in compressor. When I "submit" the file in compressor and take that file and try to burn a DVD in Toast 7, The chapters are there on the final DVD, but the chapter names are not. Does anyone know if there's any way to get the chapter names to show up in Toast or will they only show up in DVD Studio Pro?

Those chapter names are only used when passing quicktime files between FCP and DVDSP. They will not show up in other programs, or on the resulting DVD no matter how you burn it.
Hope this helps -

I'm not seeing "Chapter Name" under "Type", "Text Variable", "Insert Variable". Is it gone?

Running Header isn't the same as Chapter Name. I'm designing a book in CS6 - Has Chapter Name been deleted in CS6? Have I set up my doc wrong? Help! Thanks,
Lisa

Attachments don't work here. You have to embed images using the camera icon onthe web page like this:
In all probability, the presenter in your tutorial is using a Running Header typ variable and is slecting a style named Chapter Name. Running Header variables pick up text based on styles, either a character style or a paragraph style, so if the chapter name has a unique paragraph style assigned, you would pick that style from the list inthe define variable dialog and the variable will pick up text with that style assigned -- your chapter names.
