Need to transfer my IMovie to PC to burn a DVD-Help Please

Hello! I created a slideshow with music using IMovie. My MacBook does not have a DVD burner but my PC does. I need to somehow save my slideshow as a file that I can put on my external hardrive and then transfer to my PC to burn a DVD. I tried to do this twice, once it saved as a .mov (or something like this) file and then as a Quicktime file and neither would work on my PC. My PC is older and does not have Vista. Not sure if that makes a difference. I need to do this asap and am hoping not to have to go spend $$ on an external DVD harddrive for my Mac. (Plus, I have called the local Apple stores and no one even carries one.) Thanks in advance for any help in completing my holiday gifts for family!

Craftymom43,
Good news! I think this will help you:

Made movie from go pro on imovies. How do burn to DVD

Made movie from go pro on imovies but having trouble burning to DVD. Very new to this. An anyone help

AVI is just a 'wrapper' that can contain content encoded with many different CODECS (encoders); most of which aren't Mac compatable.
VOB files are MPEG streaming content.
Most AVI and all VOB files will require some sort of conversion to be useable in iDVD.
If you have a lot of such files, I suggest you look at purchasing Roxio's Toast; it is far more flexable than iDVD in the files it will accept and should work with your AVI and VOB files.

How can I tell the number of discs needed to transfer an iMovie to DVD?

OK, I'll admit it---I'm new to iMovie and have yet to burn a DVD since iDVD was not included on my Mac. I have ordered a new disc of iLife 09 which should arrive next week, but I'm trying to be prepared to burn some home movies as soon as it is installed.
When I begin the process, will I be told that if it exceeds the size of the DVD and if more than 1 disc is needed? Typically how long will it take a movie to burn for a movie that is 25 minutes long?
I'm sure the questions are just beginning!

iDVD cares about the duration of your movies, not file size.

I have and old shuffle ipod and a friend has asked if i can put my albums on his nano
That is illegal music sharing, so you won't get any help on Apple's official forums.
Also they are my albums not music from itunes
Irrelevant. Under copyright law, you do have the right to give a copy of these albums to anyone.

I made a movie on iMovie and went to burn to DVD and of course I could not...contacted Apple and they said to download an app to help solve this problem...i did..so I could finally burn a DVD, but it will not play on my DVD player...HELP!!!

I made a movie on IMovie and went to burn it to a DVD ...I could not do this so I contacted Apple..they had me download an App and then I could make a DVD...but it will not play on my DVD player...does anyone know how I can solve this problem.. I purchased this to make DVD's and now I can not do that!!

This is a known issue. It really comes down to two key factors - what type of DVD are you burning to + what type of DVD player you have.
This article will help. It's lengthy and can be technical in some parts but should shed some light on your problem.

TS2755 I have just updated my phone to iso 7 on my wifes i tunes on her computer, now when i send a message to people they get my email address come up and when i need to update it askes for her apple id.. any help please

I have just updated my iphone to iso 7.0.2 on my wifes i tunes on her computer,now when i send a message to people they get my email address come up and when i need to update apps it asks for her apple id... any help please????

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

I need to transfer an imovie project on an ipad from one itunes account to another. I need to be able to continue editing the project once it is transferred to the other account. Is this possible? If so how?

I dont own a mac but i can access itunes

Hi Fruity Tooty,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Your iMovie project (data) is not tied to your Apple ID. If you don't own a Mac, you could use Airdrop to send the iMovie project to another device with a different Apple ID to continue working on it. Here's an article that explains how:

Can I transfer my itunes to a MP3 player? newbie, help please

Hi, I need your help. I have a HP Media Center PC with all bells and whistles. I just learned about itunes. I downloaded a free song. I have also gotten 5 songs for free from a website called Connect (run by Sony).
what I was expecting to do was to go to Radio shack and purchase an MP3 player for $59.99. It's about all I can afford.
then I found out that the songs I downloaded from Connect cannot be transferred to an mp3 player unless it is a Sony MP3 player. The mp3 player in Radio Shack was not a Sony. but I did ask the salesman if I could do itunes with this and he said "sure". but I'm not sure now. I have read about all kinds of formats with downloading these songs. such as OPENMG format and something called ATRAC. See where I'm getting confused?
What I need to know is this: If I purchase songs from itunes and it goes on my hard drive, can I then purchase the mp3 player and transfer the songs so I can go for a walk and play my mp3 player. I can't afford an ipod.
Do I have to buy a special mp3 player to be able to use itunes. I can't find any information on this on the site.
I am a disabled person and could use some help.
thanks to anybody who can help me. Just need to know exactly what I should be buying to play songs on and do I have to download the songs in a special way or does itunes just do it for me. Also, I don't have an apple computer. but I have an APPLE user ID. Very confusing.

Okay, let me see if I have this right.
I have a HP Pavillion Media Center. this should allow me to burn cds, right? I have never done this in my life but believe me I learn fast. I have two drives that I'm looking at right now on my tower.
The top drive says LightScribe DVD+-/CD Writer
The other drive says CD rom.
I presume, to burn a cd (or whatever it's called), I use the top Lightscribe thing, right?
so I guess I have to get a blank cd rewritable thing, place it in the top drive and copy the sonic stage (sony) songs onto that right? then I can get the ipod and transfer from the newly burned cd into the ipod, right?
I have absolutely no idea how to accomplish this but I'm willing to at least do the first step and burn the cd.
Now, here's my question. Many years ago, when I had my other HP pavillion,it came with a re-writable drive. I tried to burn something to it and I did not know what I was doing. I do remember that the cd was some kind of RW thing.
I probably have one of those in my house. They are over 5 years old. Is this what I have to use to put the songs on it.
do I have to go to the computer store and buy a new blank cd-rw (if that is indeed what I will be using).
I want to know exactly what kind of blank cd thing I have to put in the drive. And do I use the one marked Lightscribe.
See, once I know what to do, I'll figure out how to do it.
I'm going to search my room to find one of the old blank ones but I won't use it until you say, "yes, use it.".
I know I used to have a case of them. Never used them but they are still around.
Are they still compatible with my windows xp, HP Pavillion media center.
And I should tell you what I tried to do last night. I was researching all about converting files and I saw something that said "drag the files into your itunes folder and you should have the songs in their". so stupid me, I go to my start menu, open up the explore thing, I find the "sonic stage" thing, I see the itunes thing, I dragged and sonic stage into the itunes thing and sure enough, right in front of me a little message popped up showing me it was "copying files to itunes". So I said "holy sh*t, I actually did it", "i'm going to see my songs in my itunes folder". Well, that didn't happen. I opened up my itunes library and only my original itunes song was there. No songs from the sonic stage library was put in.
I have no idea what was copied into what. So what exactly did I do?
thanks for any help about the cd burning thing.
I mean, I have this HP Pavillion Media Center and I want to be able to figure out how to use it before I turn 80.
Thanks much.

I made a movie in Imovie and want to burn a DVD but don't want the Idvd selections How did just burn my imovie the wayit is

How do I get my imovie to be burnt onto dvd without having Idvd's themes?

In iDVD it's not exactly possible to make a DVD without menu, but there's a few workarounds:
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme"by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
On the other hand, you could also place a text saying "The End" in that menu ....
3. Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just un-check the appropriate check box
4. The "hard way": postproduction with myDVDedit
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:

How do I have 2 itunes accounts on my mac book-1 for me(which is already on) and one for my partner who's PC has crashed and need to uae my mac book to sync his phone. Help please anyone?

I have a mac book which has my itunes account on it. My partner's PC has crashed and I want to get his itunes account on my mac book so that he can sync his phone. Can someone help me with how I do this please?
Many thanks

Thank you for the reply.
ctrl B makes the top bar (File. Edit. View. Controls. Store. Help.) appear and disappear.
ctrl S makes a side bar appear on the left side of iTunes. It shows the library which has Music. Movies. TV Shows. Apps. Playlists. Ect.
When I did the steps you suggested, my iPhone did not show up in that list.
I checked my firewall settings again, and they seem to be okay. My firewall is the only thing that I am not 100% sure of. If I go to Control Pannel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Allow an app through Windows Firewall. It shows that iTunes is allowed. I'm not sure if something else might need to be allowed as well though. I have a few Remote options that are not allowed such as, Remote Event Log Management, Remote Scheduled Tasks Management, Remote Shutdown, Remote Volume Management, and Routing and Remote Access. I'm not sure if any of these need to be allowed or not, or if they are even affiliated with iTunes.

Need to restore a backup from iphone 5 to iphone 4, help please!

iPhone 5: iOS7 latest update (I'm fairly certain)
iPhone 4: 7.03, 13.5 GB capacity, 12.6GB available
MacBook Pro: OSX 10.8.5
My iPhone 5 was stolen last night. I've been backing it up pretty regularly, but almost exclusively to iCloud (I now realize I should have been backing it up to my computer and iCloud regularly...). I have an old regular iPhone 4, that I downloaded iOS7 to, but I'm having trouble restoring any iPhone 5 backups to my old iPhone. I restored my iPhone 4 to factory settings then downloaded iOS 7 to my iPhone 4 and am given the option to restore the last backup of the iPhone 4 (from MONTHS ago) to this device, but cannot find the option to restore my iPhone 5 backups??? My last backup to my iphone 5 is large (a little over 11.6 GB), but still smaller than my iPhone 4 capacity...
How can I restore my last iPhone5 backup to my iPhone 4? Can I partially restore from iCloud (i've been reading that this would have been easier if I had backed up directly to my macbook)? What programs can I use to do this?
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED! I don't need everything that was lost on that phone (I had TOO many photos) but certain messaging conversations and notes I definitely need.
Please let me know if you can help but need more info!
THANKS!

Sorry for being unclear :S
I erased my iPhone and went through the set up and tried to restore to iCloud but didn't get the option to restore to my iPhone 5 backup (only iPhone 4 backups--I assumed because erasing my phone and going to factory settings meant back to iOS6) so I went through with just factory settings. (I did all of this on my phone, not on my computer/iTunes as my backups are saved onto iCloud) I then signed into my iCloud account on my phone and went to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage then I can see the following
If I click on my iPhone5 (the first one) I see this
I can delete the backup, but how do I restore it to that last backup from yesterday??

I got error -50 on iMovie. Anyone had the same? HELP PLEASE SOS!

I cannot publish my videos, neither save them on file.
iMovie gave an erro -50. I ran Disk Utilities and shows tha everything is running fine.
What can I do to repair this error?
Please helo! thanks!

There may be more than one cause for this error, but in most cases the project to be published includes short clips of less than about 1.5 seconds duration.
Duplicate the project. From the duplicate, delete the short clips and try to publish. If that doesn't solve the problem, see the post by Didorx in this thread.

Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately, we are all just users of Adobe products here, and there is zero Adobe presence, beyond that red A in the upper left. They furnish us with the forum software (will not get on my soapbox on that one), and the servers that it resides on. No one here can help you, and no one from Adobe will read your post. As for Adobe TS, or a refund, no one can help you.
Now, I would suggest that you take a deep breath, and probably hang up the phone to Adobe TS, unless you really like that music.
Start a new Thread on this forum. This ARTICLE will help you get started. The main reason to start a new Thread is so that your issues do not get confused with those of another user, and it makes it much simpler for us to follow along with YOUR problem and not someone else's. You'll get 100%, undivided attention.
There are likely solutions to your problems. Very few have gone without an answer, or two, or three. This forum of simple users is batting better than anyone in the history of MLB. The biggest handicap that we have is maybe being across the globe from you, and because of that, cannot look over your shoulder. The more details that you furnish us with, the easier it will be to solve your issue(s). It will also speed things up greatly, as we do not have to ask a bunch of questions - we will already have the answers.
As stated elsewhere in the FAQ's, and other articles, most problems sort out this way, and in this order:
1.) System
2.) Project
3.) Assets (the stills, AV files, music and SFX)
Because of this, it is very important to give as much detail, as is possible regarding all of these.
Good luck, and look forward to seeing your post to the forum. While we cannot address issues with Adobe, we can most likely help you get PrE up and running fine, so you can get to editing.

How do I transfer an imovie from one mac to another and be able to edit it?

I need to transfer an iMovie project from another mac onto mine and be able to edit it in its components...help!

Hi Brittani,
Try connecting the other Mac via FireWire Target Disk Mode (make it the target) http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661.
Then open iMovie on your Mac (the Host). Go to File menu > Import Movies > navigate the the movie you want to import from the other Mac and click Import.
