Two problems - one question - please help

Hello, I'm new to this forum and I would like some assistance.
First Problem: When I export my slideshow the resulting QT movie is out of sync with the soundtrack (the images appear faster than onscreen in iphoto). I'm using a new G5 (iphoto 06) with a 256 MB video card and a 30" display. I tried lowering the screen resolution - but that doesn't help (?).
Second problem: I've created a new screen calibration that best fits my photos - but when I activate a slideshow it seems to return to the default calibration(?). Is there anyway to stop this?
Question:What is the best image resolution/aspect ratio if you know your end result is an iDVD of your slideshows? In other words - should I lower the resolution and do all the cropping first in Photoshop before importing into iphoto. Would that ensure a better looking end product? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I'll try to address your last question regarding iDVD slideshows.
I create all of mine in iDVD itself. I do not use iPhoto for anything but cropping to the recommended 4:3 ratio (most digital cameras produce images in that ratio). Here's my workflow:
1 - crop, if necessary, to the 4:3 ratio
2 - place in an album and manually arrange in the order you want.
3 - open iDVD and create a new project (or open an existing project if you want to add this slideshow to it)
4 - select your theme and create a slideshow in the them.
5 - open the slideshow window and open the Media/Photo pane in the right window.
6 - find the album in the iPhoto window and drag it into the window on the left. The photos will be added to the slideshow in the order they were in the album.
7 - select your transition type and duration or select a music tract or playlist if you want multiple tracks to play.
You can then add any additional bells and whistles you want. Also select in iDVD's slideshow preferences the option to scale slides to the TV safe area.
I've found that this creates sharper images than coming from a QT movie file via iPhoto or iMovie. The downside is that you can't have any KB effects. But iDVD now allows you to put a title and comments on each slide but it has to be done in iDVD, not imported from iPhoto. Good luck.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

    You should contact Apple by phone as soon as possible. You'll need to change your Apple ID and all passwords.

  • It won't let me drag an effect from the browser all of a sudden. I have always been able to do before. I am using effects from favorites bin and when I try to drag it, it won't move. I have never had this problem before. Please help.

    It won't let me drag an effect from the browser all of a sudden. I have always been able to do before. I am using effects from favorites bin and when I try to drag it to the timeline, it won't move. I have never had this problem before. Please help.
    P.S. I have tried other effects including transitions and it still won't let me drag.

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

    I logged 3 times wrong security question. please help me

    Hey annamyle91,
    Thanks for the question. If you are having issues with the security questions associated with your Apple ID, follow these steps:
    If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
    Reset your security questions
    1. Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
    2. Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
    3. Select “Password and Security” on the left side of the page.
    4. If you have only one security question, you can change the question and answer now.
    5. If you have more than one security question:
              - Select “Send reset security info email to [your rescue email address].” If you don't see this link or don't have access to your rescue address, contact Apple Support as described in the next section.
              - Your rescue address will receive a reset email from Apple. Follow its instructions to reset your security questions and set up new questions and answers.Didn't receive the email?
    After resetting your security questions, consider turning on two-step verification. With two-step verification, you don't need security questions to secure your account or verify your identity.
    If you can't reset your security questions
    Contact Apple Support in either of these circumstances:
              - You don't see the link to send a reset email, which means you don't have arescue address.
              - You see the link to send a reset email, but you don't have access to email at the rescue address.
    A temporary support PIN isn't usually required, but Apple may ask you to generate a PIN if your identity needs to be verified.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Hi Danny,
    Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
    but not 180, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
    =COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
    or
    =SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.
    Regards,

  • I want to change my apple id password but I forgot the security questions please help me some using my icloud I'd

    I want to change my apple id password but I forgot the security questions please help me some using my icloud I'd and if confirmation is must so please phone number is mine please send a code please help me my apple

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • I am working on big project and in accidentally flatten the file and i saved it as PSD in then I exited Photoshop. the next time when i open the file it is merged on one page. please help!

    I am working on big project and in accidentally flatten the file and i saved it as PSD in then I exited Photoshop. the next time when i open the file it is merged on one page. please help!

    Flattening and merging are very similar. The main difference is merging keeps the transparent areas, whereas flattening removes all transparent areas by giving it a white background. A good example of flattening is a jpg image.
    Since you have closed the file by closing photoshop, that means that the history is now gone, no way of undoing.
    So that leaves you with two choices.
    You can either recreate the whole document.
    Or you can make selections of areas you are keeping and moving them one at a time to new layers. Keep each object on a separate layer. Then redo the area behind those objects.

  • Apple ID I forgot my security question please help me

    Apple ID I forgot my security question please help me

    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go tomanage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

    Please help, Thank you.
