Music in iDVD:  Can it start somewhere other than the beginning?

I have loaded a song onto the main menu part of the DVD. I'd like the music that plays to not start at the beginning of the song. Is that possible? I'd like it to start about a minute in...

You could also get WireTap Studio http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/wiretap/
It will record anything that can make sound on a Mac. You could start your song playing and then hit the record button on WTS just at the point you want. When finished recording, hit the stop button. You will have an audio clip of the portion of the song you want. Just drag it to the desktop and then into iDVD's audio slot in Inspector. Works great! WTS is a very versatile app and can do a lot more than just this, but this is the function I use most.
Costs $69, but well worth it.

  • Start playing somewhere other than the beginning?

    I am making my video and as I move things around, I want to start playing at the change and not the beginning of the movie. I grab the red line and pull it down to where I want to start playing. But it 'fights' me and it is just easier to start it from the beginning. But I know there has to be a way... what is it :-)?

    Move the cursor to where you want to start playing and hit the space bar.
    If you want to play a certain clip, select it. Then right-click/Play Selection.

  • How do I start a streaming .flv at a point other than the beginning of the video file?

    I have a 1.5 hour flv video that is streaming from a
    Microsoft 2003 box with Wowza Media Server installed. Using
    Actionscript 3 and the FLVplayback component I would like to start
    the video at a point about 10 seconds from the beginning.
    This code snippet does not work:
    myVideoFile.seek(10);
    myVideoFile.play();
    Though the video seeks to the proper point in the video file,
    the play() call sends it back to the beginning. Thanks for your
    help!

    That's the ticket!

  • Putting music on iPod Touch from a computer other than the main one

    Is it possible to put music from my mac on to my friend's iPod touch without ruining her contacts and/or deleting the music she already has on there. Also, she uses a PC to sync her iPod normally. Should this be a problem?
    Also, can I not put on my photos, contacts and iCal events?

    You can view and listen to your music library from another computer with Home Sharing turned on.  To turn on Home Sharing in iTunes, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing for both computers.  This is for iTunes 11.  If you are running an older iTunes, go to Advanced > Turn on Home Sharing.

  • Reading texts from Child's phone from somewhere other than the phone

    Is there a way I can read texts my child sends & receives without having her phone (ie from my computer or table)?  iMessage is not the solution because not everyone who texts her has an iPhone, not to mention iMessage uses a lot of data (see many scathing posts about this by other members).  Technically, it is my phone.  I paid for the device, and I pay for the monthly service.  While I'm not interested in the mundane day-to-day conversations she has with her friends, it has recently come to my attention that some inappropriate information has been shared via texting.  I'd prefer not to take the phone away from her, as it does provide a useful function (ie, my ability to get ahold of her when she is out with her friends), However, I am finding that part of my job as her parent is to monitor what is being sent and.  I also have reason to believe she is deleting text messages she does not want us to see.  I look forward to any recommendations that can be provided.  Thanks!

    Unfortunately, with a smartphone this would not be very helpful. For instance, iMessage normally uses data instead of texting for messages to other Apple devices. There are several other apps which ALSO bypass SMS/MMS capabilities alltogether. Blocking texting on a smartphone WILL NOT keep a user from being able to text, it would simply push them into a messaging type which bypasses the SMS/MMS infrastructure and works solely via data.

  • How can I add vocal effects other than the 9 Voice options? (I can't shift pitch)

    Hello!
    I am making the switch from PC and am just trying to lower the pitch of a vocal track by at least an octave; I just got a MBP last week and am running GB 10.0.2. I can't find any info on similar problems that is helpful; most solutions I've come across show that when the track is selected, there should be a pitch shift bar with a sliding button, but I do not have that. I read a lot of people saying something about the track being purple or not, but I'm not sure if that's relative to the version I have or if that has anything to do with what's happening. When I select the track, in the little area toward the lower left when "Track" is selected, (what is that space called?) where the pitch shift option is for other people, I only have a sliding bar for Pitch Correction, and a checkbox for Limit to Key and Enable Flex. When "Region" is selected, it just shows the name of the region and there are no options. Another question I have is how to change the pitch of midi sounds? When the keyboard is open on the screen I have tried moving the little octave shifter, but it assigns the sounds that are on the keyboard at different locations if I move it, so it changes the sound completely. A couple of them shift one octave up or down, but there are no actual controls..
    I'm mostly just dabbling with EDM/trap/Hiphop tracks at the moment, but am confused about whether or not there are other vocal effects and controls other than the preset Voice options in the instrument area (Bright vocal, Classic vocal, compressed vocal, Edge vocal, etc.)? I'm not going to be using GB forever, but are there not any other options like for current rap/trap production (phaser, balance, EQ, auto tune, choppers, actual voice altering effects, etc.) [preferably without buying extra things]? And not only vocals, but editing effects for all sounds.. If so, how do I get to them? And if not I know I should at least be able to lower or raise the pitch of a vocal recording... There are some pretty legit electronic instruments that are exactly the kind of sound I'm going for so I was surprised to not see an equally simple to access vocal effects board or something. Any additional tips for a n00b electronic music producer would also be greatly appreciated! Thank you for any help!

    In GarageBand 10 you can no longer change a track with an audio file to a "purple" audio recording, as it has been possible in GarageBand '11.
    Even, if you can make the transpose slider visible by enlarging the the track editor panel, the slider will be disabled.
    What you can do however, is either add an AuPItch filter  from the audioUnit panel or to convert your audio file to loop and to admit from the Loop Browser.
    In the new GarageBand you add the AuPitch filter from the Smart Controls.
    Enlarge the SmartControl panel by dragging the dividing line upwards, until you see the Audio Units brick, then add an Apple Audio Unit and set it to AuPitch.
    Or create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library". You need to trim the filet an exact number of measures.
    Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop. Make sure, that one-shot loop is not enabled.
    Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
    You will be able to transpose the sample  like any regular loop.

  • TS3297 iTunes puts up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one. How I can clear that messag

    I've been running iTunes on WinXP for years with few problems.  I have all my iTunes files on an external USB drive. I just bought a new PC running Win7, 64-bit.
    I connected the external USB drive to the new PC and installed 64-bit iTunes on it. When iTunes started up, I pointed it at the iTunes directory in the external drive, using Edit > Preferences > Advanced > iTunes Media Folder Location. It showed a progress bar that it was updating the iTunes Library. I signed in and authorized the new machine. I have one spare authorization.
    Then iTunes put up a message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the Hong Kong Store." I had not requested anything from the HK store at that point, and I have never used any store other than the HK one.
    When I click OK, the iTunes Store page remains blank, apart from saying "iTunes Store" in the middle of the page.
    I went to "View My Account" and pressed the Reset button to "Reset all warnings for buying and downloading items", but that doesn’t fix this particular warning. I also tried Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Warnings and Rest Cache.
    But still, every time I click the “App Store” button in the iTunes Store window, the message appears. If I click the Books, Podcasts or iTunesU buttons, these display normally.  So I’m stuck with being unable to purchase apps, other than through my iPad and iPhone.
    If I move the external drive back to the XP machine, the same thing happens.  If I go to another PC - a notebook running Vista - everything is normal.
    Any idea how I can clear that message?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Further info on my question above.
    I have tried re-validating my credit card, which apparently fixed it for some. 
    I have also tried uninstalling, re-downloading and installing again.
    Neither of these steps fixed the problem.

  • I have replaced my ibook hard drive but when I start up I get a folder with a flashing question mark. I have tried installing the OSX disk using the "C" key but can't get any further than the flashing "?." What do I do? What is the problem?

    I have replaced my ibook hard drive but when I start up I get a folder with a flashing question mark. I have tried installing the OSX disk using the "C" key but can't get any further than the flashing "?." What do I do? What is the problem?

    Which iBook do you have?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
    Which version of the OS is installed, and which version are you trying to install?
    You could try starting up with Startup Manager and see if it will allow you to select the OS X install disc as the startup disk. If so, maybe you can proceed from there. I would recommend repairing the hard drive first since you are evidently having a bit of a problem with it.

    Hi there,
    It sounds like your purchased content is not transfering via a flash drive. It may be easier to re-download this contnet directly from iTunes. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

    how can i start aperture without retyping the serial number?

    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your Macintosh HD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.

  • TS1702 I can't start any apps in the same page

    I can't start any apps in the same page

    Fair enough. I am new to this.
    The soution to failure of opening Apps after IOS 5.1.1 update in my new IPad is to:
    1. Erase all content and setting in general setting
    2. Reinstall Apps using ICloud backup service.
    Hope it helps others with similar software bug in IOS 5.1.1

  • HT1766 I purchased an iPad air and chose a backup from my iPhone 5s.  The only issue is only 30 of my photos downloaded to my iPad and none of the music.  How can I get all items on the iPad?

    I purchased an iPad air and chose a backup from my iPhone 5s.  The only issue is only 30 of my photos downloaded to my iPad and none of the music.  How can I get all items on the iPad?

    you are using I tunes as the middle man for this back up, right?
    When you plug in the pad to i tunes, give it a unique name, like my pad.  I tune may be thinking it is talking to your phone.  It will keep track of what you what on each device.  Then plug your phone back in, and make sure your photos are uploaded to the computer - in i photo if you are using a mac, or in whatever photo program you are using on a windows device.  You also want to make sure you have uploaded to the computer all of your music.
    Once you get all that stuff there, plug the pad back in, and go through each of the tabs - selecting the music, photos etal that you want on the pad, then resync.

  • Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Can I install Adobe Reader to a drive other than the C: drive?

    Hello there,
    Welcome to Adobe Community. Yes it can be installed on a different drive. Though some of the files installed by it will still be installed on C: drive.
    When you run the installer, use 'Change destination folder' at the bottom of the panel
    If you already have Adobe Reader installed on the C: drive, you must uninstall it before installing a new version on a different location.
    Thanks!
