Is there a way to get idvd on a new macbook? or is there an alternative that works?

I note that my new macbook pro (purchased with a dvd burner specifically) no longer comes with iDVD preloaded. Is there a way to get this, or is there an alternative that works. have checked the app store only to see a number of 'alternatives' that are crucified by the feedback, largely not compatible with mountain lion, etc. This was really dissapointing, to get a new apple computer, still with imovie (great), but without the ability to create a dvd to  share movies with friends and family...any ideas?

There is no good replacement app for iDVD when it comes to ease of use, flexibilithy and professional looking results.
You'll have to purchase an iLife disc and should be aware that the iLife 11 disc only provides iDVD 5-7 themes.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes 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.

  • When is it coming or is there an alternative that works

    Hi all,
    Just got my first iPhone 3GS and was wondering if there are plans to get flash player to work, because as we all know most sites now are all flash including mine. So will flash be heading to the iPhone or is there another third party app that will work? Thanks for any help.

    because as we all know most sites now are all flash including mine
    Total rubbish. Most sites are not all Flash at all.
    In actual fact, forward thinking web developers are starting to move away from proprietary technologies like Flash and using more open standards such as MPEG-4 for video, Javascript, AJAX and when HTML5 matures it will be even more so.
    See: http://www.studio1c.com/blog/28-webmasters/151-7-reasons-to-stop-using-flash.htm l

    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • Is there a way to get Itunes on my new computer to retrieve purchased songs

    Is there a way to get Itunes on my new computer to retrieve purchased songs without connecting to my old computer or using disks?

    If you have those purchases on an iPod, simply dock the iPod & you will be asked if you want to sync your purchases iPod back into iTunes.

  • Is there any way to get rid of the new control panel?

    Is there any way to get rid of the new control panel?  I hate it.  It pops up constantly when I scroll on Facebook or Pinterest, and my 3 year old turns things on and off frequently by accident.

    Check: Settings - Control Center - Access on lock Screen = Off. Access within Apps = Off

  • I just bought a new Macbook Pro and loaded all my info from My old Macbook...now i can't remember for the life of me my Admin Password 9which i created 3 years ago)...is there ANY WAY to bypass this on my new Macbook Pro and begin again...?

    i just bought a new Macbook Pro and loaded all my info from My old Macbook...now i can't remember for the life of me my Admin Password (which i created 3 years ago)...is there ANY WAY to bypass this on my new Macbook Pro and begin again...?

    I assume that you don't have the installation discs, so:
    1. Reboot
    2. Hold command + s key down after you hear the chime.
    3. When you get a text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
    (Type these commands very carefully)
    mount -uw /
    rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
    shutdown -h now
    4. You will go through the setup process again, create a new admin account, login to it and then change your existing account password or whatever else you need to do. You can delete the account you made in this process, or not.

    what is the best way to get adware off from my Macbook? I seem to be infected.

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if they don't cover the type of adware on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • Is there a program that works like the old iPhoto?

    Is there a program that works like the old iPhoto?
    The old iPhoto is my ideal program. Unfortunately, it does not work on my new operating system. I like having the ability to look over my images with a slide show. However, the new package folder does not give me complete access to my pictures. Is there a program that will have both slide show with music options, and the general folder for the files? I heard that Picasa was supposed to have a general folder, but it is using the iPhoto package.
    I have looked over the solutions to getting access to images from the iPhoto package mentioned in the discussion forum. I would like a simpler system that works like the old iPhoto. Is this a possibility? I do not feel comfortable putting my original photo files into a system that does not let me look at the file information, and I would like to have the original benefits of iPhoto tools.
    Thank you for your time.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The current iPhoto is laid out specifically the way it is because of folks like you
    Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Package File. This is simply a folder that looks like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    Even in the old iPhoto it was never correct to access the iPhoto Library Folder.
    However, the new package folder does not give me complete access to my pictures.
    This is untrue. Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    There they all are.
    Standard Warning which applies to every version of iPhoto: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    I do not feel comfortable putting my original photo files into a system that does not let me look at the file information
    What information are you missing? If you can tell us we may be able to help you more.

  • HT4007 How can I get Aperture onto my new Macbook Pro 15" Retina that DOESN'T have a superdrive from my 5 year old Macbook Pro?  I still have the CD and serial number for Aperture. HELP! PLEASE!!

    Like the thread topic says. I need help getting Aperture onto my new macbook pro that does not have a drive. I have no need for a drive after this to be honest just need my programs back on it. Thanks.

    Two options:
    Make a disk image or a clone of the installer CD on your Mac that has a super drive - you can create a disk image using Disk Utility or use Carbon Copy Cloner (if you have it) to clone the DVD to a thumbsdrive. Then run the installer on your MBY from this copy.
    Or download the Trial Installer and install from there:
    Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.  http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
    Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
    Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
    After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
    Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • Is there anyone here that works for itunes support?

    is there anyone here that works for itunes support?
    I have waited for 39 hours for a response from support team with no reply.  I can get any of my credit cards to be accepted with itunes.  Somthing is wrong on apples side of things..been to apple store and they could not help either.  this is crappy.  I am one of the biggest apple fans but this is one side of apple that really *****.  CAN'T TALK TO A LIVE HUMAN FROM ITUNES?  Give me a break.  

    I agree completely endive!  I've been fighting for days trying to get some help with a technical problem and apparently, you can't get help from Apple without paying out the nose.  The problem I'm having is due to an update they recommended which I installed and now have no sound in itunes!
    I too love Apple products.  I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, their customer service after the sale!  The are just as bad as Microsoft.

    Not even close - 3.06GHz is a dual core - 1066MHz system bus.
    2.7GHz = Quad Core - 1600MHz system bus.
    Which do you think is faster?

  • Is there an app that works like the Mac OS X "finder" for iPhone?

    Is there an app that works like the Mac OS X "finder" but to see files on the iPhone???

    Apps on the iPhone are sandboxed. That means they only have access to their own files. They cannot see the files of other apps or of the system. This is for security reasons.
    There are some apps that present a list of files, like Air Sharing, for you to manage, but there is nothing like the Finder.

  • Is there any form that works like Jtable that can be written into the html

    Is there any form that works like Jtable that can be written into the html or jsp format?
    <INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="command" VALUE=""> refer to a Sumbit Button.
    There no such thing below "I think"but just dreaming
    Is there something like
    <INPUT TYPE="TABLESUBMIT" NAME="customer" VALUE={rowcolumn(1,3,"peter"),rowcolumn(last,"name","jane")}> ......

    Keep dreaming. As long as you are using HTML you are stuck with
    all of its limitations. Among these is the lack of a JTable.
    You have several options:
    1) Use an HTML <TABLE>. For plain text you just put the
    text between <td></td> tags. For input you put the input
    as <td><input...></td>.
    2) Extend #1 by creating your own object to draw the table.
    You can do this in either Java or JavaScript. There are several
    examples on the internet of how to do this. Some even include
    sorting by clicking the column headings.
    3) If you really want to use a JTable then you can write a JApplet
    and put it on your JSP page.
