ITunes interfering with iDVD

I have an odd problem that I never had before. I made a slideshow of old slides on my parents' iMac. I made a quicktime file and started burning it onto dvds with iDVD.
I decided to put the file onto my laptop as well so I can burn twice as many DVD's (they are for gifts for family).
However, when I create an iDVD project on my laptop, I get this message from itunes saying I am not authorized to use this video. When I go into iTunes to authorize, the message is still there in iDVD.
It still lets me preview the DVD and it plays fine so I tried to burn it but it gives me an error. Why the heck does itunes think it can claim my video that I made? It says "This computer is not authorized to play.." Even after authorization, it still won't let me do anything.
Any suggestions?

It seems to only work IF you use an approved iPhone adapter cable thru the USB connector to the Aux connector in your car. Also, is your BT adapter in the car an integrated system or is it an after-market add-on? IF it is an option that was installed from the car manufacturer (and NOT at a dealership or an auto electronics installer) check the owners manual to see if the iPhone is on their list of compatible devices to work thru the BT system. I know this as I am an automotive model line engineer and I DO test a lot of phones for BT compatability in our vehicles we manufacture. iPhone is compatible with quite a few cars thru BT and IF you use the right cables iPod plays fine and will pause, mute while on a call and revert back to playing where it was paused.
Hope this helps you.

ITunes interfering with standby/hibernate

I have my computer set to standby after an hour, but when I have iTunes open, it doesn't stand by and just stays on. Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it?

I tried using iTunes 7 but I went back to version 6.5 because iTunes 6.5 does not prevent standby/hibernation.
It is quite annoying that Apple have done nothing to fix this since 6.5.
I like to listen to Jeff Rense Show mp3's when I settle down for the night and if I fall asleep the PC will shut itself down after the tracks have stopped playing.
Is there a hidden setting in iTunes 7 that will fix the issue ?

Why would you create a new account?
All purchases will be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
You will have to authorize your computer for all the accounts from which music is purchased.

How do I restore Notes through iTunes without interfering with Microsoft Exchange Calendar and email

I recently added a Microsoft Exchange account to my iPhone and had to stop syncing my Calendar and Mail Accounts through iTunes because it was creating duplicate entries. When I made those changes, I lost all of my Notes on my iPhone. I backed up my phone after adding the Microsoft Exchange account, but am afraid to restore the backup (to restore the Notes) because I don't want to restore the pre-Exchange Calendar and Mail Account settings or entries. If I select "restore backup", will it restore my Notes without interfering with my Calendar and Mail Account settings or entries? Also, I don't know when the Notes disappeared from my iPhone, so it's possible that I synced through iTunes after I added the Exchange account, which probably means that the Notes I am trying to restore are in a prior backup, not the most recent backup. Can you help?
Thank you.

move your existing me account to be a icloud account via www.icloud.com.
icloud works only with @me.com .

Is there a way to download someone else's iphone pictures to my computer without interfering with my iphone backup/ itunes?

is there a way to download someone else's iphone pictures to my computer without interfering with my iphone itunes backup?

Ensure that your iTunes is set up so it will not sync automatically. Then you can connect the other iPhone to your computer and import the photos in the same manner that you import photos from your phone and/or a digital camera.

Yes.
Photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by a computer as with any other digitial camera, which is completely separate from iTunes and does not involve iTunes.
I sync my iPhone with iTunes on my Mac and I sometimes import photos from my iPhone's Camera Roll with my Windows PC at work.

Is there a way to create a commentary audio track with iDVD?

Thanks
Eric

No not with iDVD.....but here are a few ideas:
iMovie can add a voice-over. So build a slideshow in iPhoto, import into iMovie and talk away, even add music too.
Use garageband to record a voiceover. Then export back to iTunes, and then you can use it with iDVD. You can import the music from iTunes and add voice to that too. Only problem this way is that it might be hard to do the timing (see the sldieshow while you talk.....)

Can not download itunes spoke with apple who removed my older verision cause i could not do the update, so they tried to download the new verision which they could not do either, same story its the computer i have a windows xp 2002 32 bit sp2

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

QickTime and/or iTunes Interfere with Outlook Express

Last week, after installing the new iTunes version with QuickTime it started interfering with the operation of Outlook Express. Specifically, one of these two products is reading new messages in my OE Inbox folder and changing them from unread to read messages. This problem persists after I uninstalled both products. There must be a driver or other component still operating in the background that is doing that. Or these products may have changed the registry of OE and did not reset it back during the uninstall. I need help in fixing this problem. I don't want to reinstall OE because it involves a lot of efforts.

This is a fair question which I tried to address in my original post. OE started to exhibit the problem right after the installation of iTunes with QuickTime on my computer. I suspect that one or both of these programs are reading new messages on OE Inbox. Anyone with knowledge of the inner working of these programs may confirm or invalidate my observation and pointing to them as the culprit.
I contacted Apple Support and they are bouncing me between their telephone and email support groups.
I hope somebody on this forum is familiar with the algorithm of iTunes and QuickTime and affirm wether or not they are reading email messages on the computer they are running on. Better yet, I hope someone can help me resolve this problem on my computer.

Audio problems sharing iphoto slideshow with iDVD

I have created a slideshow of 200 photos and 4 random tracks from itunes.
It plays fine in iphoto. When I share it with iDVD and a .mov file is created only the first Track of audio plays both in preview and from a disk image. The rest is silence. The slideshow is set to match the display time to the total audio and this remains the same. I've tried removing the encoding and the itunes helper plist. Any other thoughts?

If you have Garage Band - make one track with the four songs/tracks and save in iTunes and use that track for iPhoto - just did that and worked great -

Is iDVD completely gone in version 10.8.2? I would like to be able to make a DVD with an interactive menu to burn and play on a DVD play as you could with iDVD.

I would like to make and burn a DVD as you could with iDVD that was available with OS 10.4 -- is this no longer a possibility with 10.8.2?

Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac?
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband (and are prepared to pay for the considerable bandwidth usage) and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud, YouTube, Facebook, whatever) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. Stating that they would return their brand new Mac unless they received a copy of iDVD worked for some, but that is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple.
Also, you can complain bitterly via Apple’s Feedback link, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between burning DVDs and distributing home movies by other means. You may feel that Apple should not dictate how you destribute family videos or photos to distant relatives and friends, and should not assume that every user is prepared to pay for the excessive bandwidth usage charged by ISPs for huge downloads from the App Store:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that came with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or that comes with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD 7, i.e. iLife version 9 onwards. You should also do this if you plan to buy a new Mac anytime soon, as stocks of iLife that include iDVD will not be available for ever.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast, which is the best software for burning anything but again does not offer the flexibility of iDVD.
Apple has clearly indicated in the newest Mac mini and Retina Display MacBook Pro that it plans to get rid of optical disc drives as soon as possible across the board, providing an external USB drive as an option for users who need one.
Users increasingly have fewer opportunities to use optical drives, as the bulk of third party software is now available as a digital download either directly from the vendor or through Apple's App Store. Apple also sees digital distribution as the future of music and movies, as exemplified in Apple TV, which has never included an optical drive.
The company has never supported any new HD optical disc formats on its products, including Microsoft's ill fated HD-DVD or Sony's Blu-ray format, despite initially being involved in the Blu-ray standardization process. Instead, Apple has put its resources behind developing increasingly higher definition audio and video formats that it can distribute electronically through its own iTunes Store.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced: http://www.gizmag.com/windows-8-no-dvd-playback/22443/
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that. Flexibility and intuitive use of a computer seems to be a thing of the past.

How can I reclaim memory/storage so I can burn a DVD with iDVD?

How can I reclaim memory/storage so I can burn a DVD with iDVD?

Move your iPhoto Library and/or your iTunes library to and external HD that is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run them from there. Be sure to try the libraries on the EHD before you delete them from the boot drive.
This should easily free up the 25 GB minimum needed for iDVD to create and burn video DVD efficiently.
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.

Using iTunes credits with Family Sharing

I used to have a debit card associated with my Apple ID, but now that we've enabled Family Sharing with a child on the account, I am required to use a credit card. However, I don't want to put iTunes charges on a credit card. I thought I could avoid this by adding iTunes credit to our accounts. So, I decided to test this. We have her settings set to "ask to buy".
I have credit on my (the organizer's) account. I attempted to purchase a song using my daughter's account on her device. I thought I was supposed to get a message on my phone telling me that she was requesting to make a purchase. Instead, I got a message on her account on her device with a pop-up that said I needed to enter my security code (on her device).
My questions:
- Why was I not notified on my device that she was attempting to make a purchase? Nothing I read suggested that she would get messages on her device that I had to enter information on it. Was this a one-off thing for setting it up? Or, does this only work with apps and not music?
- If I entered the security code, would it charge my credit card or would it realize that I had credit on my account and deduct it from there first?
- If I apply credit to her account, is it true that I will not get a message to verify her purchase?
Thanks for any insight.

iTunes store credit is used for payment if it is on the account. By that, if your daughter has store credit, and she makes a purchase, it would be deducted from her store credit - not yours. So if two children (Billy and John) each have $10.00 in their respective accounts, only THEY can use the credits - iTunes store credit is not shared. If there is not sufficient store credit, then the organizer's credit card will be charged to cover the purchase.
Regarding the pop up security code message, do you still have a restriction set on her device? If so, that could be interfering with the "Ask to Buy" feature of family sharing.
Regarding the last question, I am not sure. The documents are not very specific, but I have read that if Ask to Buy is enabled, you will receive notification if the child tries to download free apps.
