Too many movies-too long to publish
Ok, I am probably doing this all wrong so I think I need help. I have used Imovie and IDVD in the past to make a short DVD with about 10 videos on it. However now I am trying to transfer all our movies to DVD because my 3 yr old son really wants to watch them on our big tv and some of my family wants home videos. I have organized all the videos & clips into projects and if I am reading everything right I first have to prepare every project for sharing before I can use them in IDVD and burn them to a disk. Is this correct? Is there a faster way to prepare the movies because at this rate it takes 20 min to prepare each project and I think I have about 75-150 projects, so I wont be done preparing the projects til sometime next year Can anyone help me expedite this process????

I use iMovie since vers2. Was a betatester for a while …
the presets in iM-b use h264 as export codec - which is not needed for furtherr processing AND is a time-consuming process, compared to the one I recommended.
cncstory asks for a fast workflow - mine is fastest.
It just copies the timeline - your harddrive limits the speed, no CPU time involved.
try yourself .....

Too Many Photos? Pages not publishing....
I have about 120 photos that I imported from iPhoto to iWeb. When I attempted to publish the site it fails. I need all the photos, what can be done?
Mac Book Pro 15" Mac OS X (10.4.9)Give a try at publishing to a folder on the desktop to see if all pages will publish. If they do then you know it's an issue with access to the iDisk.
As a work around (if the publish to folder works) you could copy of contents of the folder you published to to the iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb folder and get them published that way until you can get it organized.
Another way might be to separate each page into a separate domain.sites file with iWebSites and then link them manually with a text based navagation bar at the top. This way you can edit one page at a time and publish only that page.
I use iWebSites to manage multiple sites.. It lets me create multiple sites and multiple domain files.
If you have multiple sites in one domain file here's the workflow I used to split them into individual site files with iWebSites. Be sure to make a backup copy of your Domain.sites files before starting the splitting process.
This lets me edit several sites and only republish the one I want. -
Compiler Error "Too Many Movies"
Hi.
After doing a project, I burnt a DVD for testing it, but now when trying to Build and Format to record the DLTs, Compiler gave me an error and I cannot built it anymore. Anyone knows how to fix it or what happened?
Thanks!Hi, Drew.
I'm near the limit with 98 movies. Justo to explain: tomorrow morning I burnt a DVD to test. Watch it on my TV and found a Menu Background with a type error. I fixed it, Simulate and test again, save it and torn off my machine to attach DLT drive.
When I came back, tried to Build and Burn and this error appeared. Very strange! Now I can't record DLTs even burn DVD.
Now I deleted some Stories and link some parts direct to Chapters, just because I really need to send this DLTs today, but I want to know how to fix this problem.
Thanks,

Ons.log getting too many and too large
Hi,
Just recently when I tried to connect to our staging database I found that I couldn't connect and it gave me the "disk is full" error. It was quite amazing because the archive logs were not large nor were their any backups on it. And it was a 200g disk partition. After doing some research we found out the the ons logs were the problem. There was probably like 40 or so log files and each was a gig and a half in size. My question is what causes these logs to be created and how can we manage them. Because we have development environment and it was setup exactly the same way as the staging, but we never had a problem like that on it (dev). How can we turn the logging off?
Thank you.Take a look on thi Metalink Notes

Video Import Problems - Too Many Thumbnails, Too Fast Playback
I have a Sony (Digital 8) connected to my new iMac via Firewire. When I try to capture the video, it appears that iMovie is creating a separate thumbnail clip per every second of video, so I end up with 1000s of thumbnails. I was able to capture video fine a couple months ago so I'm not sure what changed (software update?). Also, when I play back, it plays at twice the speed. I've scoured the internet and have found similar-but-not-exact posts, but NO solution. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
Sorry! I was thinking of iMovie HD 6 - the previous version to iMovie '08 - in which you can choose what kind of new project to create, thus:
..note that it offers 'HDV 720p' as an option (..beneath 'DV').
But, somehow your import is presenting itself to iMovie '08 with - it seems - only 1 field per frame ..hence it's playing twice as fast as it should, and you've got all those extra thumbnails, as if every frame (..or, as you say, every second of playing time..) is a separate clip.
Erm ..I wonder if the internal clock had stopped in your camcorder, so that every shot has the exact same date and time stamp. In that case - noooo-oo-oo ..then iMovie would fail to recognise individual clips, instead of treating every second as an extra clip.
I have had a similar thing happen with a fairly old (1999) miniDV tape: when importing into iM'08 I got lots and LOTS of separate clips instead of one continuous clip. That was caused by the tape being old, perhaps badly wound onto the spool ..certainly not having been fast-forwarded and then rewound each year as ought to have been done, to prevent magnetic "print through" and physical pinching, etc, on the spool.
Camcorders - especially Sonys - have circuitry inside them to disguise bad tape replay: if a field or frame is missing, the camcorder can 'regenerate' it by playing the previous field or frame again ..the human eye doesn't really notice this fakery. But that is NOT done when the signal's played out along the digital FireWire link: if the tape's bad, then a faulty signal arrives at the other end ..in this case apparently at your Mac, or at iMovie.
Try winding and rewinding the tape a few times, and/or playing it through, and then trying to import it. ..Is that any better? -

To speed up your iPod try:
- Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
How do I export my iMovie '11 video and burn it to a DVD? I've tried 'Share' - 'Media Browser', 'iDVD', and 'Export Movie' but always get an error message indicating that my movie is too long to publish. Thoughts? Additionally, what does 'File' 'Finalize Project' do?
Instead of Share to Media Browser, what happens if you try Share Menu > Export Movie... (choose Large size) and save it to the Desktop?
If that fails try Share Menu > Export using QuickTime...
Then pick Movie to QuickTime Movie, then click on Options... which is just to the right of Export
Under the Video section click on Settings...
Then in the pulldown menu at the top, titled Compression Type: Choose Apple Intermediate Codec. Then click OK. And click OK again, and save it to the desktop. Once the .mov file is created, you can import that into iDVD and most likely it will work in Wondershare Creator if you prefer to use that instead. -

We have about five devices in our family which have been deactivated. It has been so long since I registered them -years- and I don't recall how I did it. For instance, my daughter's IPod from when she was young doesn't work and neither does her IPod Nano. She can't get any of her music. My Shuffle doesn't work. I am embarrassed that I feel like having Apple products is too complicated for me. I can barely get through all the levels of logging in, let alone how to make the devices work again. Somewhere along the way I seem to remember getting a message that we had too many devices on our account. Which account? I have given up on this so many times and now it is years later and I am trying again. How can I get some meaningful customer service to use the products and music I bought and paid for?
I think in previous incarnations, people would have jumped all over you for your approach, but the Lion operating has generated decidely mixed or even negative reviews from users. So no one seems to disagree with you. I think many folks are simply staying with 10.6 and waiting to see if OS 10.8 is better than 10.7. I've mostly avoided upgrading OS's, or when I do I jump over one version completely because I've waited long enough that I'm two versions behind.
Here are the things that will/would motivate me to update the OS:
* incompatibility with MS-Office (I'm not a MS-Office fan but I do need to use it)
* incompatibility with flash or other tools needed to view modern web content (this might be a while as I am still using several different Macs, the oldest being a 2005 PPC iMac with 10.5.8 and an fairly old/outdated flash, but it seems to still do ok with most web content). Our 2008 Intel Core 2 Duo iMac runs 10.6.8 and can do just about anything we need -- like you, I decided not to go to Lion because it didn't look like much of an improvement.
* incompatibility with various commercial software, such as TurboTax, or with web sites I use to manage financial accounts and such things
We got my daughter a new Macbook Air just before she started college, and Lion plus a new Macbook Air model came out a month later. I am glad now about it actually, I think some of the Lion "issues" would have annoyed her greatly (especially the odd dropping of wireless access points under Lion, everyone is on wireless at colleges now). I'm hoping that the 10.8 OS will be better than Lion. We had (probably still have) a certificate for a free Lion upgrade but we decided not to use it. -
My daughter has entered the wrong passcode too many times on her iPOD Touch, it is now disabled. When I connect to iTunes, it will not let me go any further until I enter the correct passcode. I no longer get the option to do this, all I get is iPOD disabled. Help Please
Restore the iPod from the computer to which the iPod is synced. For information and instructions, see:

If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is a POP acct
I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying... -

[email protected]The list you saw that shows what drivers are available from Apple Software Update is based on what drivers are supplied by the vendor to Apple. So it would appear that HP has not provided Apple with a scanner driver for 10.9 (known as an ICA driver), or provided an update if one was available for a previous version of OS X, so that you can scan from Image Capture.
I checked the HP web site for your model and they don't show any scanner driver or scanning software. If there was a scanner driver, you would be able to use Vuescan.
As for the Scan button not working, the following is documented by HP
Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.
But there does not appear to be any version of HP Scan software available for 10.9. So unless someone else has some workaround, it seems that you won't be able to scan with this model of HP. -
Why can't you provide specific instructions here in HT203909 (Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD) about how to make the USB drive bootable? The article referenced for partitioning the drive is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options. How do you make it bootable?
If your BC Assistant shows the option to create a USB Installer, it automatically is marked as bootable. There is no need to have manual intervention to make a bootable USB. Once the process is manually modified, it is supported by the person modifying it.
You have two or three options (depending on your Mac Model).
1. Create USB... - Use a USB2 flash drive, which is erased and formatted. If your Mac supports ISOs then BCA will prompt for the Media. Any Mac which does not have a built-in Optical drive will support an ISO. There are specific Mac models which support both, DVD and USB based installation.
2. Download Software from Apple servers...
3. Install Windows...
Are any additional instructions really necessary?
