'PLAY MOVIE' - Starts halfway through movie! - Please help - urgent!

My 'Prematur Ejection' issue was solved by buying an external DVD burner but I have a new problem. I have created a lovely 30 minute movie of a dinner party for a customer that has to be delivered tomorrow.
I am very pleased with the results with one exception.
When the 'PLAY MOVIE' button is pressed it takes you straight to scene 5, so the only way to view the movie from the beginning is to go to hit the Scene Selection button.
I have only a few hours to rectify this and burn again, I have since noticed that it does the same thing when the i-DVD project is opened up and tested but I don't know how to fix it.
I hope somebody out there can help me, many thanks in advance.

Possibly your iDVD or iMovie preferences have been corrupted. That happens sometimes. It is easily corrected. To do that, close iDVD and iMovie and trash the files com.apple.iDVD.plist and com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. Then relaunch iDVD and iMovie. Those programs will create new .plist files to replace the ones you deleted.
If that doesn't cure the problem, you probably will need to go back to your iMovie project and reset your chapter markers, then reimport your movie into iDVD.
Good luck with this.

My mac won't start at all. Please help urgently. Thanks!

My shockwave was not working. So I decided to quit all programs and restart my mac
It doesn't restart at all.
There is a ding and then it just gies power off.
Tried safe reboot but still the same thing happen.

Did you try booting into your Recovery partition? Hold down the command and R keys whilst booting and if you can get to your Recovery partition use Disk Utility to verify your disk and, if needed, repair the disk.
If it can't be repaired, then it's likely dying.

Music starts halfway through a song

Just wondered am I doing something wrong.... When I'm listening to my music some tracks start halfway through the song and not at the beginning. Any help would be appreciated

Have you tried updating it and doing a restore with the latest iPod updater (2006-03-23)? You can go here and install the latest updater on your PC and then hook the iPod up and run the updater http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Doing a restore will wipe everything off the iPod, but once connected to iTUnes, it will load everything back up. More on restoring can be found here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983

I was not complete clear.
Since you never changed the settings in the advanced section of iTunes preferecnes, you have to chech that your music is really in the location setted in the folders reported in the advanced section. If not you have 2 ways: reset the position of this folders or in the actual disk organisation or in the pointing on the preferences.
If you press the reset button you just give to itunes its default setting as for the position of the music files: probably this will be a good choice if you have never changed any default preference.
But before I would check the folders and see if the songs are really there
In my iTune I have this, and I believe it is the default.

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

The new iTunes update gives me no option for a "share" tab on the side bar for me to play home shared music. why? please help i need to listen to beyonce!! plzzz

"share tab on the side bar ..."
iTunes has not had a sidebar for over a year. You can see one (as iTunes 10 used to show) by doing View > Show Sidebar from iTunes' menu.
But I'm not sure if that is your issue. You do not need a sidebar to do home sharing. Are you running the current iTunes (11.1.3)? Have you turned on sharing in Preferences? Have you done File > Turn on Home Sharing?

Hi everyone, I�m having problems with Java Mail, I have just installed it along with the java activation framework, they are located in the following directories:
JavaMail: C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\javamail-1_2[1]
Java activation framework: C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\jaf1_0_1[1]
I have the classpath set as: C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\mail.jar;C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\activation.jar
When I try to compile the sample code provided with these packages, msgsend.java using Jbuilder 2 I get the following errors:

If I try to use another Java package to compile it I get even more errors (52), I cannot compile it by using the Javac command line compiler, it just says �Bad command or file name�.
Can anyone tell me Why this is happening and how I might be able to fix it please, I need to start learning Java Mail quickly but at the moment I can�t even begin to do this until I can understand how to get this sample code to work.
Thanks Everyone
Noel

First of all... don't post with topics like "Please Help - Urgent". The topic is supposed to reflect what the question is about.
Secondly... think for a second. If mail.jar is in C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\javamail-1_2[1]... why are you with your classpath saying that mail.jar is in C:\jdk1.3.1\lib ?
You classpath is supposed to point directly at you jar-files.

Hi
My first thoughts are
• iMovie ill behaving - Trash the iMovie pref file - use to set things right
• in reg. to Photos - Did You change iPhoto Photo Library - Then iMovie get's lost as it peeks into iPhoto on start up to see where photos are stored. Set iPhoto back to first Photo Library (when iMovie is not running) then start iMovie.

Hi Swaroopba,
It can be very well done thru Form based Authentication.
For eg let me explain with respect to Tomcat.
Go to
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/examples/WEB-INF directory.
Please add the following code in it.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Protected Area </web-resource-name>

<url-pattern>/jsp/security/protected</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
</security-constraint>
Please add the following code in it. And you have to specify the roles for it.
I hope this will be helpful for you.
Or if you want it in an application, please let me know.
Thanks
Bakrudeen
