Using iDVD 3.0.1 -- can't get a MPEG4 tune to burn w/slideshow

Hey there --
I'm fairly new to using iPhoto & iDVD so I don't really want to spedn money on upgrading it yet! I have played with these programs and successfully made some nice DVD slideshows with audio.
I'll try to make my points brief, and appreciate any help.
JUST USE THE QUESTION # TO REFER TO THE POINTS YOU WANT TO ANSWER.
1. Just upgraded to OS X 10.4.3 -- is this causing the audio to not record when I tried to burn a DVD of the last iDVD project??
2. Or do I need to upgrade iDVD (I'm currently on 3.0.1). What version could I upgrade for free... and what version costs to upgrade?
3. I'm trying to use a song purchased on iTune -- the song says it is an MPEG4 (instead of MP3) and that it is a "Protected AAC audio file" -- does that mean I can't record it to something else, such as this DVD project or just to a CD?
Thanks for your help and insight.

Hi ETC...
1. What method did you use to burn the second DVD?
2. You can't "upgrade" to a different iDVD version without purchasing an iLife bundle (Version 5 or 6) usually around $79.00 but you can look around for deals.
3. You need to burn the iTunes music to an Audio CD and then import to your project from there.

    Read another post in the forum about this and it appears this app also installs a profile with a proxy service that you will have to try and delete as well. Check that out.

  • I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app?

    I bought and downloaded some music off of the internet on my laptop that uses Windows 8. How can I get my music to open automatically in my itunes instead of opening in the music app (the orange sqaure with headphones)? Currently I have had to often downloads and sift through all my files to find the ones I want to open into itunes, and it's irritating.

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Installing iTunes does not and has never caused media to magically appear on the computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer (or backup of the old computer) to the new computer.

    Which iBook do you have?

    Which version of the OS is installed, and which version are you trying to install?
    You could try starting up with Startup Manager and see if it will allow you to select the OS X install disc as the startup disk. If so, maybe you can proceed from there. I would recommend repairing the hard drive first since you are evidently having a bit of a problem with it.

  • I have just bought four songs from iTunes store using my iMac. I can play the music on my iMac and throughout my Apple TV. However after several restarts and double checks I can't get the four tunes to sync with either my iPhone or my iPad.

    I have just bought four songs from iTunes store using my iMac. I can play the music on my iMac and throughout my Apple TV. However after several restarts and double checks I can't get the four tunes to sync with either my iPhone or my iPad. All the software is up to date.

    do you use the same Apple ID on your iMac, your iPhone and iPad? This is a requirement.

  • Using 2 monitors. I can't get my Layers Pallet to move to the 2nd monitor

    I'm using 2 monitors. I can't get my Layers Pallet to move to the 2nd monitor screen. It is simply locked to the right side of my 1st monitor. A solution would be great. Sorry if it's a noob question.
    Thanks for your time.

    No problem. We've all had newbie questions at one time or another.
    However, I am going to have to put on my clairvoyant hat and guess you are running Photoshop 10.0.1 (CS3). :/
    In CS3, do NOT attempt to move the palette well, i.e. the dark gray zone above the palettes. That you cannot move.
    Instead, grab each palette individually by the light gray bar just at the top of each palette.

  • I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys.  Don't want to use audio text.  How can I get this back?

    Hey there tjbliven,
    It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
    Siri settings - iPhone
    To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
    Turning Siri on or off
    That should get the dictation feature back for you.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Frequently I will be asked to sign in to my Apple account, but it is using an email I don't use with Apple. How can I get this to stop?

    I use an iPod4 Touch and am using IOS 6.1.6. Frequently I will be asked to sign in to my Apple account, but it is using an email I don't use with Apple. How can I get this to stop? This is happening repeatedly throughout the day. I don't have an Apple password for this email address, nor do I want one!

    Maybe an App that needs updating was purchased by that account?
    Could someone have installed an app not purchased with your account?
    Can you post a screen shot of the message?

  • I use Mac 10.4.11 Can I get back to the last version of foxfire I was using?

    I have been using foxfire on my computer for the past few years. Today I was trying to upgrade and when I did, it took off the old foxfire and then told me it could not upgrade. Now I can't get foxfire at all because it is telling me my system is too old. I use Mac 10.4.11 Can I get back to the last version of foxfire I was using?

    Beginning with Firefox 4, Macs must have an Intel x86 processor (which you do NOT have; yours is a PPC Mac) '''''<u>and</u>''''' OSX 10.5 or higher (you have version 10.4)
    *System Requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 4] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/5.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 5] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 6] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/7.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 7] [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 8]
    '''''The good news''''' is that Firefox 3.6.24 still supports OSX 10.4 and Macs with the PPC Mac architecture. '''''The bad news''''' is that support for the Firefox 3.6.x series is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
    *System requirements: [https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6/system-requirements/index.html Firefox 3.6.x]

    *Also see --> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    You can try the third-party product '''''TenFourFox''''' that supports PPC Macs. Firefox 8 version of '''''TenFourFox''''' is available. The product is based on Firefox released versions. All support is provided by the developer, not by this site:

    What do you mean forget your phone? iTunes will still function just find without the phone. I'm not sure what you want it to do.

  • IMovie was removed from my macbook pro after I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I had it before and have used it, but now I can only get it through the app store

    iMovie was removed from my macbook pro after I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I had it before and have used it, but now I can only get it through the app store. I can't pay for it so I would really appreciate the help.

    Look in your applications folder for the installer - Install OS X Yosemite. Delete it. Then go back to the App Store purchases tab and see if you can download it. You might have to re-index Spotlight.

  • I got locked out and changed the password. it did not work and now its disabled for 60 minutes. I dont use itunes, or icloud. how can I get in and why wont it work.

    I am locked out of my iphone. I changed the password and it still wont work. I changed it again and it is now disabled. I do not use itunes, icloud. How can I get into my iphone? I have changed my password and its not working. how can I start over?

    Without a backup, the use of iTunes or the use of iCloud, your only choice is to restore the device as new to remove the passcode.

  • I'm using garagband 11 and I can't get a good signal through my Machie Blackbird interface for my guitar or vocal.

    I'm using garageband 11 and I can't get a strong signal form my interface. All the prefences are set correctly. The only way I can get a signal is by cranking the gain on the compressor, but the signal is still low and waveform in barely readable. Any thoughts?

    You may want to have a look in the overclockers forum for help.
