Sharing from iMovie and getting a total blank

Hi. I sort of have two questions. One that's bothered me ever since first fiddling around with iMovie and iDVD is why when I open a DVD project after having closed it before does it always give me a new name. The first one is project.dvdproj. The next is project 1.dvdproj. The next is project 2.dvdproj. How can I avoid this?
At the same time, though, if I make some changes in iMovie and want to send it to iDVD, do I need a new name each time? Can I set something to where it just automatically replaces the one that came before?
Now the main question. This new version of iDVD is so much harder for me to intuit. (And the help menus don't always help a whole lot, either.) A couple weeks ago I made an iMovie that needed no chapters, so when I "shared" it to iDVD, I had no "Play Movie" button or anything. I finally figured out that I had to add the movie seperately. (How is that "sharing" then?!) Currently I have an iMovie which I'm ready to make a DVD of. I shared it to iDVD and it gave me the "Play Movie" button, as well as the "Scene Selections" button. Great! But then I had to stop working and I wasn't happy with some of the submenus, so I decided to just quit without saving anything because I wanted to start from scratch. Now, when I try to go from iMovie to iDVD and "share" it, I'm getting a total blank. No "Play Movie" button, no "Scene Selections" button. I really don't want to have to put them in myself. Can someone please, please help?! I'm more than frustrated by all this. I just want to get the thing done.
Thank you for any help you can give!

Hello, yvonne,
Welcome to the discussions.
why when I open a DVD project after having closed it before does it always give me a new name. The first one is project.dvdproj. The next is project 1.dvdproj. The next is project 2.dvdproj. How can I avoid this?
iDVD will ask you to name a new project when you first create it. You need to be sure you 'save' it before closing it. Then, you should be able to open it by clicking on the project with the name you gave it. The DVD projects usually save to your 'documents' folder by default.
At the same time, though, if I make some changes in iMovie and want to send it to iDVD, do I need a new name each time? Can I set something to where it just automatically replaces the one that came before?
Once your movie is in a DVD project and then you make edits to the movie, you should receive a message when you open that iDVD project that iDVD has detected changes and it will ask if you want iDVD to update. You can then click yes/ok.

When you are finished with your current iMovie, make your chapter markers and then save and close your movie. Don't send it to iDVD from WITHIN iMovie.
Open iDVD and select your theme. Then, using the 'Media' tab, navigate to 'Movies' and select your movie and drag it into iDVD's main screen. Be sure not to drop it into a 'DROP ZONE.'
That may have been what you did when you did not get the title or scene selections. You do not need to create these yourself.
You might also have a look at these for some assistance:

When exporting from Imovie I get the following error? OSStatus error -2009

when exporting from Imovie I get the following error? OSStatus error -2009

Hi
Apple Support pages says.
Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

Does anyone know what "video rendering error: -50" means?   I am trying to back up a movie i made on iMovie and get that message every time, about 30 times...

Does anyone know what "video rendering error: -50" means?   I am trying to back up a movie i made on iMovie and get that message every time, about 30 times...   OSX10.9.2, iMovie 10.0.3, Toshiba externals 2TB etc

Hi Babowa and Apple:
Thanks for helping me.   Here is my workflow:
I store any file that I save onto my external drives so that I don't fill up my main hard drive.....( I label each external hard drive by year + alpha, such as 14a, 14b etc.) Is that a problem?   Any suggestions?
I know iMovie works from the main iMac HD and therefore needs to find the file that I want in the external drive, such as when I "import" a file from an external such as 14a into iMovie that has been previously downloaded onto the external 14a (I download all SD cards & tapes to externals)......and it sounds like you're saying that is causing iMovie problems because the file is not so easily accessible for iMovie?
I assume that iMovie processes the file that I have "imported" into an "iMovie Event" on my iMac HD. I label that version as say "NLGE 3000E" for my 3000th movie, Event version, "events" that is always rough.
After I have imported media as an event and have labeled an event, "NLGE 3000E," then I go to "new movie" that I assume is a "project".....and I label that version "NLGE 3000P1"...."P" for "project" and "1" for the first edition....also to help me keep track of where my movies go.   I focus on "Projects" then when editing ...and watch which edition I am editing and which edition appears where.
I learned that I need to "share" all movies from "Projects" to save......and store my final versions on my external drive, 14a (eg) so that I am sure that I have a retrievable copy.   I try to share to YouTube from iMovie and succeeded 1/10 tries.
Evidently a movie is not saved unless it is in "theater"?
Please see next "reply" for other comments about retrieval.
Thanks.

IDVD error message when sharing from imovie

1. When "sharing" from imovie to idvd, error message appears reading: "unable to publish project due to error-41."
2. Successfully "shared" once, with the first clip upside down.
Thank you for your insights.

Hi
Most probably it's the Start-Up/Boot/Mac OS hard disk that has less than 5Gb free space.
To let iDVD run OK - This Start-up hard disk should have 25Gb or more due to that
Your Mac is running a sort of UNIX (Mac OS) and this makes Mac OS and iDVD to use
lot's of temp files - AND they can not be addressed to any other hard disk at all.
More RAM - will not help
External/Second hard disk will if You first formatte it as Mac OS Extended and
move material over to this (or use it as Start-up hard disk)
External Start-up hard disk must be FireWire - NO USB2 will do this.
Must be Mac OS Extended formatted
Western Digital - My Book Serie - Can't do this.
My Lacie - works gladly as secondary start-up hard disk.

Accessing Custom Controller from setter and Getter methods

Hi Gurus
How can we access the custom controller from setter and getter methods,is there any way to do that.
Thanks & Regards
Rajasekhar

Hi Steve.
Thanks very much for valuable information, the main controller class is getting tracked in mo_owner which is declared as CL_BSP_WD_VIEW_CONTROLLER, and I'm getting the reference through
mo_owner ?= owner. (since mo_owner = owner is not getting converted of type mo_owner ). After doing this on whatever the contexnode class (say zl_xxxx_xxx_cnxx) the corressponding context node values are getting turned as <#ERROR IN METADATA.
I mean when I'm checking the configuration in bsp_wd_cmpwb configuration tab -> Available Fields->Enlarge the contex node->BTSTATUS (say for Example) there the values are showing as <#ERROR IN METADATA , After executing the above procedure
I cross checked several times before and after redefining the context node method IF_BSP_MODEL~INIT, before redefining this method UI is working fine, after redefintion UI is throwing below error .
Exception Details
CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL - Dereferencing of the NULL reference
Method: CL_BSP_MODEL=>IF_BSP_MODEL_BINDING~IS_ATTRIBUTE_VALID
Source Text Row: 13
Thanks & Regards

A simple percentage? How does one add a percentage to a number? If I have 100 and I want to add 15% and get a total, what formula would I use?

How does one add a percentage to a number? If I have 100 and I want to add 15% and get a total, what formula would I use?

You can do something like this:
D2=B2*(1+C2/100)
this means in the cell D2 type the following "=B2*(1+C2/100)"... leave out the double quotes

I somehow changed a video in my imovie to zero fps, so it just plays black. The video still exists on my desktop but even when I delete the files from imovie and reimport them the file is still in zero fps and play black.

I'm not sure of your question.
Are you asking how to use Photoshop?
Or are you asking for the dimensions of video iMovie uses?
It edits in 720P HD, which is 1280x720.
You can make it a bit bigger so you can zoom in.
Much bigger then this is a waste of time.

I tried to reinstall iCal from Disk and get an error

I deleted info.plist from my iCal package. I had read somewhere that if I deleted that all old files in my iCal would be deleted. But instead what happened is I get an error when I try to start "2008-05-19 15:29:46.693 iCal[9051:10b] No Info.plist file in application bundle or no NSPrincipalClass in the Info.plist file, exiting logout" So then I tried to reinstall iCal from Disk and get the error "The Installer could not validate the contents of the 'iCal' package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance"

lizesc,
Welcome back to Apple Discussions.
I deleted info.plist from my iCal package.
Just for the edification of other users, you should never alter any files inside of an application package.
Drag your current copy of iCal to the trash, and then follow these steps to reinstall iCal:
1. Insert your Leopard Installation disk into the computer.
2. The disk will appear on your desktop.
3. Double click on the "Optional Installs" folder.
4. Double click on the "Optional Installs.mpkg."
5. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
6. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
7. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license agreement.
8. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
9. Select (✓) iCal.
10. Click (Continue).
11. After iCal has been reinstalled, download and install the OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update.

Can i get the iphone from USA and get it unlocked in India

can i get the iphone from USA and get it unlocked in INdia

No. Any locked phones purchased in the US cannot be unlocked.
You can just buy an unlocked phone direct from Apple in the US, but only if you are physically in the US.
Also, note that your warranty will only be valid in the US.

Personal Hotspot switches from LTE and gets stuck in 3G. Won't switch back

Hi There,
My Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 6 switches from LTE and gets stuck in 3G service. The hotspot stays in the 3G service even when I'm back in an LTE zone. The only reason I know I'm back in an LTE service zone is because if I disable hotspot, put my phone in airplane mode, and turn it back on I get LTE service. Please note that if I wasnt using personal hotspot the phone seems to find LTE, go to 3G, and then back to LTE just fine.
This happens while I'm commuting to work on the train and consistently pass between multiple cell phone towers.
Any help?
Thanks!!!

To recreate this...First make sure WiFi is off and that you have 3G turned on (go to Settings-->General-->Network) and that you're in a real 3G area (you'll see a "3G" symbol in the upper left of the screen
Then turn off 3G (go to Settings-->General-->Network and turn off 3G.) Wait a few seconds for the phone to switch to EDGE (you'll see the "E" indicator in the upper left of the iPhone screen once it's on EDGE). Then simply go back and turn 3G back on in Settings->General->Network. The phone SHOULD automatically reselect 3G and you'd see the "3G" again in the upper left part of the screen but instead you'll just see the same "E" in the upper left because it's not switching. To force the switchback to 3G after performing the above example, turn on Airplane mode and then turn it back off after a few seconds. For me, this always resets the radios such that 3G will again appear in the upper left of the screen and the phone will run on 3G. Otherwise it will just sit on EDGE even though I've turned 3G on. Strange but consistent.
I just tried this and my IP4 switched to 3G after turning back on the 3G and accessing a web site. It took about 5 seconds, but it did switch on its own. It did not happen just sitting there, I had to make it do some work (by loading data).

How do I save a still that I have extracted from iMovie and save it to iPhoto?

I'm trying to save a still that I have extracted from imovie. So far, all I can see is that it can be saved in the imovie project. I need to save it to iphoto. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running Lion and have aperture too.

Imovie 11? It isn't that easy. You could navigate to the movie event, drag that into Streamclip, and use MPeg streamclip to make a still from the movie. The freeze frame isn't a photo you can get out of imovie, as far as I know.
Here is a youtube video on how to do it with iMovie 11.
