Trouble scrolling on the main menu using my dvd player.

I can't seem to move to the scenes button when I'm on the main menu using my DVD player. This function seems to work fine on my computer. Before I burn another (very long) disc and try again, does anyone have any suggestions?

If I have two buttons, one for Subtitles on and one for Subtitles off, how do I make it so that the one that is chosen is highlighted?
You set it by changing the menu's property for the default button. This is one of the reasons a separate menu is generally used. If you have a single menu with 3 buttons ("play movie," "subtitle on," and "subtitle off"), and you set the default to "Active Subtitle Track," then your "play movie" button won't ever be the default.
To play with this and to decide how you want your disk to work, create a test EN project with 2 menus. Rename one of them "Main Menu" with 2 buttons "Play Movie" and "Subtitle Setup." Rename the second menu "Subtitle Setup" with 3 buttons, "Subtitle On," "Subtitle Off," and "Main Menu." As noted, the "Default Button" property for the menu "Subtitle Setup" will be "Active Subtitle Track." The button "Subtitle On," using specify link, will link to its own menu, default button, but will specify Subtitle 1. Same for the button "Subtitle Off," except that it will specify Subtitle Off. The Main Menu button simply links to the main menu.
Note that in Encore preview, do not use your computer mouse to hover over the buttons. It will trick you into thinking that you have or have not set the behavior correctly. Use the little remote function in the bottom of the preview window.

How do i just have the main MENU appear when DVD opened in player?

i'm doing a DVD in iDVD08 & when i burn it & try in a DVD player the first movie starts playing automatically whereas i want just the main menu to come up showing all the submenus available. can someone tell me how to do this as i can't find any info in help files & an iLIFE manual i own.
thanks
Gary

thanks for replying.
i have tried to delete the first square (the greyed one that says "drag content here to automatically play when the disc is inserted) as i surmised this might be the thing to do to bring up the main menu first but iDVD 08 won't let me delete it?

Unable to check mail on the main menu using the em...

Hi,
I have a Nokia N86 and when you complete the basic setup, it asks you for your email. At the main page, under the application icons, I see "Yahoo Mail (0)". I geussed that it automatically checks for my email. I sent myself an email on my computer and checked the application, but I didn't receive it. Then in the Yahoo Mail, I opened it up in my inbox and chose Option > Send and Receive now, but nothing happened and there's a big red cross at the top right.
What should I do to make this email app work?
By the way, later on I figured out that when I launched the email app, I wasn't connected to my WLAN network. That's because I don't know how to connect to it manually wihtout web browsing. I only know how to connect to the WLAN network when web browsing but not when I'm on the home page. Maybe that should help in solving the problem.
Thanks,

hmmm...I get
OS 10.4.11-TenFourFox

Adding DVD-ROM content stops the main movie playing on DVD player

I have a iDVD project which burns fines and plays perfectly on my DVD player. The discs are +R DL discs and the DVD player accepts this format.
However when I add DVD-ROM contents to the Project the subsequent burned disc will not play on the same DVD player.
The disc does play on the Mac but that defeats the object of creating the DVD inthe first place!!
Has anyone else had this problem or do you have an idea what could be causing it or how it can be resolved? Thanks for any help.
iDVD vesrion 7.1.2

Thanks Jim,
I am so used to building my projects in DVDSP and then burning proofs through Toast, I never thought to use the Format option in DVDSP and point to my burner!!! I am always using the Format option for DLTs only. I did that and realized it was not as expected! I ended up with a pdf with the TS folders. I added an additional folder and all is well. Thank you.

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

Having trouble creating an On/Off button for the subtitles on the main menu

Hello!
I'm creating a DVD with one subtitle track that I'd like to be ON by default but I want users to have the ability to turn them off without the use of the remote. I was thinking of creating a Subtitle on/off button but can't seem to get this to work even though I've read several tutorials. Do I need to create a separate 'set-up' menu with a 'subtitles on' and 'subtitles off' button?
As of right now I have a single button on the main menu that says 'Subtitles On' which I was planning to be dark blue when active (on) and light blue when inactive (off). See what I'm talking about here: http://pfti.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Screen-shot-2013-07-12-at-1.26.47-PM.png
See also: http://pfti.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Screen-shot-2013-07-12-at-1.33.48-PM.png
Any help/suggestions/advice would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

When using scene markers (PRE9), is there a way to return the viewer back to the main menu?

I set up scene markers for a dance video I'm editing, and I would like after the viewer finishes watching the selected scene, they are returned back to the main menu without disrupting the play all function. Using just the scene markers it is going correctly to the specific dance/scene, but continues playing the entire video from that point forward. I am aware of the stop marker, but it looks like it's only function is to end the movie and that it shouldn't be used in the middle of a movie. Is there a way to do this? Thank you

Many of us supplement this program with a program from Sony called DVD Architect Studio, a $39 download. If you do your editing in Premiere Elements and your disc authoring in DVD Architect, you can do nearly anything you can imagine.
You can see DVD Architect Studio demonstrated in my tutorials along the left side of this page.

Hi I was using whatsapp on my iPhone5.I was not able go to the main menu by pressing the center button so I hold on to the button for 2 seconds.Then the whole display turned out to be black

I was not able go to the main menu from whatsapp by pressing the center button so I hold on to the button for 2 seconds.Then the whole display turned out to be black & white. how can i fix it?

Hello monicaa003,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone display turned black and white after holding down the Home button for 2 seconds, first try pressing the Home button again to go to the main menu (Home screen.)
For reference, holding down the Home button for 2 seconds will trigger Siri if that feature is enabled:
About Siri - Apple Support
If pressing the Home button doesn't return you to the main menu, try restarting or resetting your iPhone:
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Additionally, if Whatsapp is not responding or working as expected, see the troubleshooting steps at this link:
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy

IMac (2008) OS10.6.8 - Main menu freezes when running more than one application at a time. Apple and 3rd party applications - all freeze the main menu. Safe mode seems to work OK. Tried repairing permissions - didn't work.

For the past 60 days I've experienced Main Menu freeze when running more than one application at a time. iPhoto, Preview, Text Edit, Epson Scan, Firefox and Thunderbird are the apps I use almost daily. No matter what I do, when more than one is running they will freeze the Main Menu (top of the screen). I've tried booting is Safe Mode and I don't seem to have a problem. I've tried several suggestions from repairing permission (DiskUtility) to eliminating specifis login items. Nothing works. I've posted this issue on the Apple forum several times and no one else has experienced this problem. I hesitate to take my iMac to the Apple Store or a private Apple repair service until I've exhausted all of my options. Do I have any more options?

Question: Everytime an app crashes I have the option to report it to Apple - which I usually do. But I've NEVER reported a Main Menu freeze because it never asks me to
There's really no need to submit to Apple, it's just a round file cabinet on the other end, especially with 10.6 or earlier.
This sure sounds like a resource problem...
See if the Disk is issuing any S.M.A.R.T errors in Disk Utility...
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH7029
Open Activity Monitor in Applications>Utilities, select All Processes & sort on CPU%, any indications there?
How much RAM & free space do you have also, click on the Memory & Disk Usage Tabs.
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
In the Memory tab, are there a lot of Pageouts?

Hi Monty,
Sorry to say it, but this is normal for Apple TVs. I've owned a TV2 and a TV3, and neither lasted for an entire year. They are quite fragile and of low quality, and as you can see here, quite fussy even when they work. The wi-fi receiver on these are cheap and unreliable.
Consider the $99 an annual rental fee. They rarely work for a whole year, so if you are going to use the platform, you will have to replace them constantly.
Also, when one dies under warranty, never, never send it to Apple for repair. Go to the Apple Store for replacement. I sent my ATV3 in for warranty repair using a box sent to me by Apple, and although FedEx tracking showed it was accepted by Apple, it was never seen again. Apple won't replace it or even return my calls.

My iPad mini displays i0S 6 and won't bring up the main menu. How do I get it to show the menu?

My iPad mini displays iOS 6 and won't bring up the main menu. How do you get it to access the main menu?

Reboot your iPad and see if that lets it start up properly.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If this doesn't work, you may have to restore your iPad using iTunes on your computer.

If i factory reset my iPhone will it relock to O2?
I've had my iPhone 3G for a couple of years and when out of contract i asked O2 to unlock it, which they did. I've used a Three sim card and it works okay. I've now decided to sell it but before I send it to the buyer i want to factory reset the phone. Will it remain available to use on any network once i've reset it, because i've advertised it as an unlocked phone?
If it was officially unlocked by O2 it will remain unlocked if reset or updated.
Also, just as a side note if you can help. Its running iOS 3.1.3. Once factory reset and connected to iTunes will it force an iOS 4 update or can you choose not to update the OS?
If you restore it in iTunes it will be updated to the current release, 4.3.1. There are ways around this; Google is your friend.

Don't wanna album artworks keep floating on the main menu

Is there any way to disable album artworks keep floating on the main menu of iPod classic?
I think Apple should give us a choice to disable this function with next iPod firmware update.
Some album artworks I don't want to show up there. And the key point is, the resolution of all my album artworks are 200 x 200. It is really enough for my 5G iPod video. But for my new iPod classic, all artworks would be force to enlarge the size for floating on the main menu like screensaver, and they look really crap.
And I think those new default icons on iPod classic are really nice and that's what I prefer to show

Given the resolution you've got them at, the other occurances of them in the UI - like CoverFlow and album art when a track is playing - also probably look not great.
Turn of the option of synching them completely via the Music tab for the iPod in iTunes. Gets rid of the issue completely - and as you say leaves more useful icons in some places.

HT1600 Since the latest up-date I can't see any movies. I always returns to the main menu. Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?

Since the latest up-date I can't see any movies. It always returns to the main menu. Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it? We have gone 3 days without the use of renting movies.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First you should try logging out of your iTunes Store account (settings > iTunes Store > accounts) and then back in again.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings). You should also try restarting your router.
If both of the above don't help, you should try a restore (Settings > General > Reset > Restore).

First Play then on to the Main Menu

I am building a DVD that is 99% finished. I would like to add a 30 sec clip of video to the "front" of the DVD so that when someone puts it in, it plays the 30 second clip then transitions to the Main Menu. Any one know how to do this.
I am using DVD Studio Pro 4.1.2

Glad it worked.
BTW (as an aside) down the road something to keep in mind it is always a good idea to start DVDs with videos, even if it is a few seconds of black on a track or an FBI warning video or something, so if you went with the loop menu route you can start with the couple of seconds of black then jump to the loop menu
