HT4997 I want to burn a movie to a dvd with iMovie but idvd doesn't show up in the "share" menu--why? My SuperDrive indicates that my DVD+R can be written to. Please Help.

I just spent a week creating an iMovie and wanted to burn it to a DVD. The instruction tutorial said to go to the "Share" menu and select "iDVD", however there is no "iDVD" listed in that memu. I checked to see that my DVD+R was writeable in my SuperDrive--it is? Why doesn't "idvd" show in the "share" menu? Please help, thank you. Fustrated Mark.

I may have found a way around this issue. I have the old style mouse with a wired usb connection. I've learned from other discussions that by holding down the 'Control' key and pressing the mouse button on an Apple a menu similar to the right-click menu of a PC will appear. When I tried this from the 'Project Library' on iMovie on my iMAC, a menu appears that DOES contain the export to iDVD choice. This choice is still not visible from the 'Share' menu in the menubar. This appears to be some glitch in the Apple software, but my computer is currently formulating the iMovie into the iDVD format. I have my fingers crossed.

Mail in my mac iCloud account doesn't show up on the internet iCloud account

I have an iCloud mail folder on my macs (both a mini and a macbook) with many subfolders. All of a sudden the only mail that is on my macs that shows up on my iCloud internet account is in top level folders on my macs. When I click on the main folder that has all of the subfolders, I get a quick whirl of the indicator and then nothing - no sub folders, no emails, nothing! As a test, I moved an email from a subfolder into one of the prime folders on my mac and it immediately appeared on the internet. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this or what may be wrong? In the past I was able to access this mail on my iCloud internet account without any problems.

James
Could you explain what you mean and how to correct it?
The mail box listing in Mail have various main headings starting with On My Mac, and concluding with ICLOUD. Under the ICLOUD heading there are a series of subfolders, some of which have further levels of subfolders. It is only the top level under ICLOUD that shows its contents.
I just did a permissions repair with Disk Utility and the problem went away!!
Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I can no longer receive my email through firefox. Also my facebook account doesn't show some of the profile pictures show a different person on someone's name. It appears this is a firefox issues as when I go to explorer it is not a problem at all.

It seems that through firefox I cannot receive my emails through charter.net and have always been able to before. Also, on my facebook page, profile pictures aren't showing up on some people and on some people a totally different person is showing up. It seems to be a firefox issue because when I get on internet explorer everything is fine? How can I get this problem taken care of? Can my 8.0 be updated.

Account doesn't show up in system preferences

In an attempt to override my master password, I started my computer in single user mode, typed /sh/mount -uw / and passwd, and then entered a new password. However, this created a new account called System Administrator on my computer that shows up in the login menu as "Other…". I want to delete this account, but when I log in to my usual account, the System Administrator account doesn't show up in System Preferences. Can anyone tell me how to delete this account?
(Btw, any tips on how to find out what the password is for the root user would be helpful. From my normal account, the new password I entered doesn't work for root, although it does in the System Administrator account.)
Thank you!

Hoping that we are on the same page., but sounds like what you did was enable the root user.
Its a user that will not be seen in system preferences and should never be gotten rid of (its great for troubleshooting).
The root user or (system administrator) is different from a User account with Administrator access.

Mobile me gallery doesn't show up in the widget

I posted some albums to mobile me through iPhoto. When I tried to put them on the website through iWeb, there were no galleries in the widget menu. Why? Is it because my site is an independent ".com" site versus being a "me.com" site?? Help!

I dunno what more to suggest, except to say that MobileMe live chat support is now 24/7 — see this announcement:

And to answer your previous question, you can simply change the settings and republish. See this iPhoto Help page:

Sounds like you installed iWork from before there was the Mac App Store.
If you installed it from a Family DVD you are entitled to install that on 5 computers and can do that from the DVD.
If not then you need to purchase it from the M.A.S. and will be able to install it on any of your computers using the same Apple I.D. However Apple is promising a new version before Christmas so it may not be a good time to buy now.

HT4796 "Mail Accounts" doesn't show up as option to choose to migrate from XP

I am attempting to migrate files from a WinXP computer to a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion. Almost all files transferred successfully, but it doesn't appear that the Outlook email transferred. In fact "Mail Accounts" doesn't show up as an option to choose in the migration screen. I have done the migration successfully to three other computers, but they were running Lion. Any ideas?

Try rebooting the device. It should be in Settings right under General. You may need to go to Settings<General<Reset<Reset All Settings (don't erase data) and setup as a new device. The iCloud login should appear during this step. Just keep setting it up, then go back to settings and see if the iCloud tab appears.

TS3999 My calendar doesn't show up in the icloud, how come? It's on my iPad and iPhone, appointments are not syncing.

I'm setting up a new 5C, want to make sure my calendar transfers over. Doesn't show up in the icloud site, no appointments. What am i missing?

Make sure you are entering events on an iCloud calendar, and not the On My iPhone (iPad) calendar or on a calendar from an external account such as Gmail (Google), Yahoo, or and exchange account. Only your iCloud calendar will sync with iCloud.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

Have you copied your content over from your old computer and onto the new on ? If not, and you still have your old computer, then there a number of methods described on this page which you can use to copy your library over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 . If you no longer have your old computer then have you got a backup of your content that you can copy onto the new computer and add into iTunes ?

MSI GT 70 ONC: Stereoscopic 3D option doesn't show up in the NVidiaControl panel

Hi,
I have MSI GT 70 ONC Laptop with NVidia 670M (2GB) graphics card. I also have Sony Bravia 3D TV.
I can play 3d movies on laptop and can watch them on my 3d TV using HDMI cable fine although my laptop doesn't have 3d display.
I am trying to use my laptop which doesn't have 3D display but has Graphics card which supports 3D to play 3d games and see them on my 3D TV.
I checked online and found out that I need to change "Stereoscopic 3D" settings in NVidia control panel but Stereoscopic 3D option doesn't show up in the control panel. Very few options are there. I have updated drivers to the latest level but still can't see "Stereoscopic 3D" option in NVidia control panel. So will you be able to help me out what I can do to see the option? Thanks in advance.

I have got an gs70. Exactly the same problem. Unfortunately this hdmi outputs are connected for the intel graphics cards. And intel does not support 3d.
I was actually very angry with MSI. Because they do not mention in the description. They promot just the gtx card. And forgot to mention about the hdmi connection.
Forget the 3d tv. Or you can buy an external mini pci-e graphics card adaptor.

I also got Motion and can't figure out how to use it with Final Cut Pro X. Any help woud be great. Thanks

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.
