Project theme page gone. Doesn't play slideshows. Help!!!!

Hi. I tried burning my 1st DVD using a mixture of slideshows and mini movies with audio accompaniment (made on iMovie). Checked every part of menu was working ok. No probs. Then hit burn. iDVD seemed to complete process ok, watched mini movies and photos coming up on screen ok. When said it was finished, I quit iDVD and logged off computer. When watched DVD, will go from main menu screen to secondary menu screens but will not open any of slideshows. Only movies play fine with audio. One of secondary menu screens will not open at all and makes loud buzzing sound. When I went back to reburn DVD, iDVD screen comes up black, not even showing theme background. Photos and movies are still on media page but nothing on screen. All I did was burn it! Is there any hope for me at all? I have been working on this project for months! Advice on any part of my problem would be great!! Thanks.
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Welcome to discussions!
This is what Len Goff (iDVD Guru) would tell you:
"Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)"

Itunes doesn't play songs, help me please

hi guys, i'm an italian boy. my itunes doesn't play any songs that i have; when i click on one song the little blue loudspeaker appears but the song doesn't start. this problem began to exist when i downloaded the latest version of itunes (6.0.5, i think) so i have decided to unistall the latest version and to re-install the old 4.0 version, but the problem persist. maybe i've unistalled some of the pc's programs that were necessary to make itunes operative, but i don't remember which. please help me!!! contact me at [email protected], and sorry for my english...:-)

the same thing is happening to me as well since I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My sound beeps now in everything, from email notifications, to music. But iTunes won't play any songs that I select. Hope to get some feedback.

Media played with Quicktime doesn't play! Help please!!

I recently got a new iPod nano, and had to update my iTunes. Since I've done this, Quicktime hasn't been functioning properly. The sound (of a trailer, movie, etc) will play, but the media window doesn't play the picture; instead the window is just green. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling several times, each without results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I had the same problem 4x. They did a clean and install and an archive and install to no avail. Here is the solution. The genius bar went on to the discussion board and found the solution. Ready; go to hard drive then /Library/Internet Plug-ins/Quicktime Plugin.webplugin. Delete last Quicktime plugin.webplugin. Let me know . peace

More along the theme of 'itunes doesn't work' please help

had to upgrade itunes so that my new shuffle would work, however it won't open with no error message other than itunes has experienced a problem. have tried uninstalling/reinstalling etc cannot uninstall quicktime. have even gone into registry to try and get rid of it but to no avail, so, currently unable to use the ipod or access my music. really irritated that apple seem so 'unable' to help. Any ideas???

okay, let's try the following technique.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
next, we'll try to get a fresh copy of QuickTime into your PC by doing a repair install of itunes.
switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the repair install.
go into Add/Remove and select itunes. click "Change" and then click "Repair".
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching itunes again. does it launch properly now?

Multiple compositions on a page: first comp stops playing

Hi everyone,
I have two compositions on a page and I identify them within the AdobeEdge.bootstrapCallback. As soon as the user scrolls to the first animation I want to start it with an external call (compId.play()). If this is the only composition on the page it does work correctly. But as soon as the second one is added to the page it doesn't play at all. If I trigger the first animation via the console (e.g. compId.play(1000)) the animation jumps to the 1000 ms mark but then it stops immediately and doesn't play on.
Has anyone an idea what's wrong with the setup? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Marcel

Hi Elaine,
thank you for your help. Indeed there seems to be a conflict with the rest of the JavaScript on the page. The multicomp you've sent me works fine.
Unfortunately I can't figure out what's going wrong as the console doesn't throw an error.
If I make any progress on this issue I'll keep you updated.
Thanks again
Marcel

My "Themes" page does not appear when I play my DVD- it goes straight to playing the slideshow.

I have never been on this forum so I am not sure what I am doing exactly. I went to the Apple store today to learn how to use iDVD. We created a "Themes" page and when I view my slideshow in iDVD everything plays together but once I burned it to a DVD and played the DVD on my computer and DVD player at home the "Themes" page does show up- it just goes straight into playing the slideshow.

Check in the Map mode of your iDVD project to see if the slideshow has been dragged intoi the blue "Auto Play" bin. If that's the case then that's why the findished product begins playing automatically. Just drage it out of that bin, save as a disk image and play the disk image with DVD Player to see if the menu shows up as expected. If it does then you can burn the disk image to disk using Disk Utility as 4x or less.

Aggregator project doesn't play content well

Good morning,
I created eight separate projects which I combined into an aggregator project called "Video Tutorials". I published the aggregator project into a zip file so that I can send it to our IT department. They downloaded the zip file and uploaded the main link ("Video Tutorials.swf") onto our website. All eight videos play but all visual elements such as buttons, captions, don't appear. I only see the video I captured and hear the audio.
What could be the issue?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Vincent

The IT department uploaded all files and linked the HTML and not SWF and it still doesn't play right.
I also noticed that there is a "loading" symbol in the middle of each page (see screenshot below).
We also tried to link a PDF. It does load, but because the file is "large" (only 60 MB), it doesn't show the entire screen (see second screenshots).
What should we try?

Youtube video doesn't play on captivate project online

Hi there, I need help, I have 4 equal projects made on Captivate 8 for mac, the difference between them is the video from youtube they should play. When from my computer I run the links online the videos play OK, but from different computers one of the videos doesn't play, I already checked and changed the links for the youtube widget, but still no result. Any Idea or suggestion? Thx in advance!

You should use Flash debug version. When you do, you will se a security error:
SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file http://clienttestsite.x10.mx/beta/swfs/managers.swf cannot access local resource C:\Users\Demetrius McClain\Desktop\Value Insight\chevrolet\video.f4v. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources.

Obviously, you hardcoded video path to your local machine. Change that.

Slideshow Music doesn't play in iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks 10.9

After ugrading to Mavericks 10.9 and then to iPhoto 9.5, music from playlists in my iTunes 11.1.2 Library doesn't play in iPhoto slideshows. Music shows up in the iPhoto Slideshow Music menu OK, but won't play there or in slideshows themselves. Both worked fine in OSX 10.8.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3.
Oddly enough, the built-in Sample Music and Theme Music from the iPhoto Slideshow menu DO work!
Anyone else having this problem? Any fixes. Am holding off upgrading my other computers, since I do a lot with slideshows, and this is a big problem for me.

After yesterday's OSX update to 10.9 and the subsequent iPhoto 9.5 update to 9.5 I also have the same problem:
Music for old existing slide shows from iTunes can't be played back.
When changing the setting for the slide show length to be set by the playback time of the music, iPhoto crashes.
When trying to add iTunes music to a slide show the preview function does not work.
iTunes songs can be added to a slide show. When playing it back the songs will however not play.
To rule out an issue with my iPhoto picture library I did the following - sadly still yielding the same erroneous behavior:
Created new iPhoto library.
Imported 10 picutes.
Created a new slide show with said pictures.
Tried to add iTunes music: preview does not work and added song don't play when slide show is played back.

2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. What's happening?

2 of my movies are no longer working in my iTunes or on my iPod Touch, One doesn't play at all and the other gets to about 29:00 than stops working and I don't want to buy them again. Then also when I added a non-iTunes movie and tried to have iTunes make an iPod/IPhone version it gave me error -4. What's happening to my movies?

I also have to add that the right earbud only doesn't work on my phone while i'm listening to music. If I'm face timing it's okay. what the heck.

I get this pop up when trying to create a photo book through the iPhoto store.
"Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library."
The photos I have selected have already been imported so how and why do I do it all over again?
What do they mean by published albums? I categorize them into photo albums for organizational purposes after I import them from my camera or phone. So why can't I put them into a book now?
I have over 400 photos selected for a photo book for my child's graduation gift so how can I tell which photos I have to do this to?
Please help. Any insight wouyld be appreciated.
Confused and frustrated...

Give this a try: apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.

hope someone can help!

May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget. I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field, the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you.
Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library.

I was trying to Import photos from my Facebook photo to my MacBookAir and now all i got is lots of back round photo. Please Help me out to delete them.Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library.

What that's telling you is that some of the photos you want to use are not in your Library but online in a gallery you have linked to. You need to download them first.

After loading the new OS now my songs do not play correctly. Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn't play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What's up? Kind of frustrating!!!

After loading the new OS my songs do not play correctly, is anyone else having this issue? Titles are wrong on songs and it just doesn’t play certain songs in random play or even if you select them individually. What’s up? Kind of frustrating!!!

I had the same issue. In fact I posted it yesterday, but didn't get any replies. I physically synched my phone to PC iTunes. on the PC, under the phone/music tab, I unchecked the synch music box and then the apply button to remove all of the music from my phone. Then once that synch finished, I went back and selected all music, and synch music and apply to put it back on to the phone. So far, I haven't had an issue again, but I also haven't listened very long. Hope this helps!
