Not quite autoplay but...

OK...I have two problems. First, is it possible to make the movie play automatically if no action is taken at the menu after a certain period of time? Secondly, I have 8 seperate movies in a project I'm working on, but would rather they be all connected so that they just run through after selecting something like "play" in the menu. As it is currently, if the first movie ends, it goes back to the menu. How can I turn these movies into chapters of just one straight-through movie? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Jeff,
First, is it possible to make the movie play automatically if no action is taken at the menu after a certain period of time?
That is not possible. Although it's possible to get your movie to play automatically by dropping it into the autoplay box (in map view), you can't set a menu to jump to the main movie after several loops.
How can I turn these movies into chapters of just one straight-through movie?
You'll have to do that in iMovie. Import the single movies into a new iMovie project and add chapter markers where you want to have them. That way, when importing the new movie into iDVD, you'll get a "play movie" button on the main menu and a scene selection sub-menu, where you can choose the single chapters. Note that you'll have to check the option "Always create chapter sub-menu" in iDVD Preferences in order to have the sub-menu created automatically.
Lastly, remember "The Rules of Chapter Markers":
- No chapter markers on or within 2 seconds of a transition.
- No chapter markers within 2 seconds of the beginning or the end of the movie.
hope this helps

    Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
    No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
    Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

  • ITunes will close but will not quit

    Okay. I've tried reading some of the questions and answers regarding similar issues but none seem to speak to mine.
    iTunes will "close" when I choose "Quit" or cmd-q, but will not "quit". This seems to only happen when I have recently visited the iTunes store. It does not happen when I am browsing my own library.
    Important things to note and summary:
    •I do NOT have iWow. Don't even know what it is or where to get it.
    •This only happens when accessing iTunes Store. Not sure exactly what causes it to happen but it only happens when accessing the store.
    •Doesn't seem to happen (or can't remember it ever happening) when I sync my iPhone AFTER visiting the store. Weird.
    •I CAN force quit the application and reopen with no problem. However, this is an issue when shutting down the computer (not plugged in) only to find out right before the battery dies that it NEVER shut down because iTunes never "quit".
    Any suggestions?
    D.A.M.O.N
    UPDATE!! Seems to happen EVERYTIME I click on an album or app to read about it. For instance, clicking in an iPhone app to read the description in determining whether or not to buy/download. Clicking on an album/movie to do the same. Either of these workflows (as JUST tested) seem to cause iTunes to not respond.
    Again, any suggestions?

  • ITunes (Windows) does not quit properly

    Closing windows version using "x" at top right corner of screen or selecting Exit from file menu makes iTunes clear the screen, but it's still runnning.
    I have to do a ctrl-alt-del and then manually quit the process tree.
    Otherwise, re-clicking on the iTunes shortcut or even doing a "Start->iTunes" will get you a spinning clock and then nothing on screen.
    Windows task manager will claim it's running, but there is no interface.
    Sometimes Windows shutdown is hung up because a program named (looks like about 20 open boxes but with an iTunes logo) is running, but will not quit.
    itunes Mac on same network connection works flawlessly.
    Any suggestions?

    Could be antivirus or malware, have you checked your PC for Viruses and ad/spyware? Also try disabling antivirus. you could run a check on windows and see if some files in windows is corrupt by running chkdsk/ error checking.
    Open "My Computer" rightclick on your harddrive, hit properties and select the "tools" tab. under "Error Check" hit check now. you wll get a pop up basicly saying it will run when you reboot or something like that. hit OK and then reboot. the program will run after booting up, and when its done it will load windows.

  • I'm getting a not-quite crash in which I lose ability to interact with the window at all. Is there any way to fix the problem itself? All I can do is an inconvenient "fix" in which I open a new window, and it works in the second window for some reason.

    I'm experiencing a not-quite-crash every time I attempt to open firefox on my new computer. What happens is that the menu bar (which I prefer to have visible instead of that orange single-button menu) has all the letters on it turn gray, and I lose my ability to click anywhere on the page, including to close it. If I attempt to close the page via the taskbar it doesn't let me. It does, however, let me open new windows via the taskbar which don't have the same problem, which allows for an easy-but-inconvenient fix. I've tried it out and it does not have the same problem in Safe Mode. As a result of not being a "true" crash I can't give a crash ID, so you won't be able to trace it that way, sorry.

    ''Problem:'' For whatever reason, NoScript is stopping Runescape Community Toolbar from working properly which freezes your first Firefox window.
    ''Fix:'' Uninstall the toolbar. Disable NoScript. Install the toolbar. Add your RS account to it and make sure it works, then Enable NoScript again.
    EDIT: Posted a fix earlier that was wrong. Corrected to the right one, sorry ^_^ Answer was on Runescape Forums.

  • Mail Viewer Window Does Not Open on Launch. Mail Will Not Quit. MAIL BADGER

    <UPDATE> After detailing all of the problems below, I discovered that trashing the Mail Badger bundle solved all of the below problems. I am still posting this just in case anybody else has this problem.
    Problems:
    1. When opening mail.app, the program opens, but it does not launch a Viewer Window. I can open a viewer window manually from the File menu, however.
    2. When quitting mail.app, it will not quit. It does not matter whether I hit command-Q, or Mail>Quit Mail, or right-click on dock icon and click Quit. The only way for me to quit is Force Quit. No matter what Quit command I execute, nothing happens. The Viewer Window does not close. (The Viewer Window will close on command, however, either by clicking the red 'x' or by command-W, or by File>Close.
    3. Cannot send mail from mail.app. Upon clicking "send" on a new email, it just goes to the Outbox and sits there forever. I can try sending the email again from the Outbox, but nothing happens. (I have 4 gmail accounts, with a couple thousand messages between them. There are no problems with port configurations or smtp servers or anything like that - I am fairly certain anyway because nothing has changed w/ regard to the account settings between the time it was working and the time it stopped working.)
    4. After minimizing the Viewer Window, clicking on the mail.app dock icon does not restore the Viewer Window. The only way to restore the Viewer Window is to click on the Viewer window itself in the dock, rather than clicking on the application icon.
    Notes: I have installed 10.4.10. I have also installed Safari Beta 3.0.2
    I previously installed Safari Beta 3.0, then uninstalled it and upgraded to 3.0.2. I don't recall when the problems started, (under 3.0 or 3.0.2), but they all happened at the same time (rather than one at a time).
    I have uninstalled Safari 3 and reverted to Safari 2, but this does not fix the problems.
    I have repaired disk permissions.
    I have booted from the OS X Install disk and repaired my startup disk.
    I have not had any problems with Safari 3 "hanging" on install, thus corrupting the WebKit, as described in other threads.

    I had the same issue and resolution. Spotlight search for "Mail Badger" and deleting everything resolves the issue.
    I'm also running Safari 3.0.2 and 10.4.10...
    I've emailed the developer to let him know about it..

    It's good to read Antoniad's post.  It reassures me that I can use my new iPad as an international communication device which is the reason I purchased the thing.  However, I called Verizon today (my provider of cellular data) who told me that I can't just pop in a SIM card as you suggested.  He also said that he was from the "Pre-Pay" division of Verizon and he was certain that I couldn't do what I planned to do.  I was extremely disappointed as I had called Apple prior to buying the iPad and I read the algorhythm on the website for choosing an iPad before purchasing.  Those sources were quite specific and the information seemed clear.  I would be able to use my iPad to communicate through cellular connections while traveling on the road, literally, abroad.  I was told that I could pop in a data card wherever I was, just as you indicated in your message above, and voila I was good to go.  The Verizon rep definitively rained on that parade, but said that I might be able to do this if I have a "Post-Pay" account, a different area of Verizon.  I haven't had the chance to talk to this division yet, so I looked to Apple's Support for answers.  Maybe I will find out that I can use my iPad as an international communication device while traveling on the road afterall, however, it appears I may need a different type of account (Post-Pay), something I was never warned about. Can I switch to this kind of account?  I don't know.  I have to find out.  If you have any information about this issue, it would be good to share since I strongly suspect there are others who bought the iPad for the same purpose that I have.
