What do I need to do to modifiy a family movie using iMovie 08?

I have two old family movies already on a DVD, which I can play on any DVD player. I want to join both segments and add one of those nice interfaces that are available on iMovie but I don't know what to do so that iMovie can open it. I was told I need to convert the movies but I don't know which software to use on my iMac. I don't even know if I should use iDVD instead...

Is this a very difficult task? I posted same question at some other forums and still couldn't get a simple answer. I'm not trying to work on copy protected DVD's. Just a family movie...

I have a problem with the headset of my ipod nano 4th gen. the right side don't have a sound. It comes in and out. what do I need to do.. I am using the original headset eversince. I tool it to a Apple Mac Cennter and Taked with a Service Center Rep. And he told me that they can't do anything because they don't repair the ipod they didn;t even look at it. I was told instead to buy a new one. I was very disappointed.. This is already my 5th ipod though i am planning to buy a new one.. I still want it fixed so I can give it to my little sister

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

What do I need to do to transfer ownership of a used iPad to my account

I was given an old iPad. I just want to be able to sync it with my ITunes. What do I need to do to transfer it over to me?

Plug it in and restore it as a new device to clear any of the previous owners stuff off it. Then sync it with your own stuff.

which GoPro? ........ NO!! kiddin' .....
afaik, the actual ones record as h264 inside a .mp4
=> MpegStreamclip should do the trick, select Export To Quicktime/select Option/codec AppleIntermediateCode
if you record with a max of 30fps, iM11 should import those files directly ......

Need app for burning DVD on new iMac using iMovie

I have a new 64 bit iMac with optional external DVD drive. I want to burn DVDs with the iMovie projects that recognize the chapters I entered in the new iMovie. Basically, I want to do what I used to do on my old 32 bit iMac with the internal drive using the combination of iDVD and iMovie.

mChapters available from the App Store, will add chapters to the output file from iMovie. In the Finder, you may have to change the move file's extension from "mp4" to "m4v" as older Quicktime applications and perhaps some newer DVD creators may not recognize a chapter track in an mp4 container.
In any event, the mChapters application will allow you to visually add chapters and name them as you like. You can save the file in-place (i.e. you do not have to create a new output file--just save to the existing movie file) which is quick. It is irritating that iMovie no longer has chapter markers, but this little application does not add much time to the move creation process.
BTW, I have nothing to do with mChapters. I tried several applications, free and otherwise, until I settled on this one for my needs.

I made a movie using iMovie. I went to share and selected idvd. It processed the movie,but nothing happened. The tutorial shows icon on bar,but I can not find idvd. What am I doing wrong?processed

I made a movie in imovie. I went to shate and selected iDVD. It processsed the movie for about 5 min. When it finished I did not have the icon at the bottom of screen like the tutorial displayed. How do I find iDVD?

Check in your Applications folder to see if you have the iDVD application there?
Do you have a new Mac that came with Lion preinstalled? If so you won't have iDVD nor iWeb. Apple has discontinued iDVD and iWeb and is no longer selling them.
In that case you'll have to purchase the boxed iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: iLife 11.
Also it's best to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu opiton in iMovie and then add the movie from the Media Browser in iDVD to the iDVD project. It provides a better qualtiy movie to iDVD.
Also follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Hmmmm, what do I need?

I currently have a MPB connected to an AP Extreme. I also have a printer connected and Airtunes via AP Express.
Im setting up my daughters desktop PC running XP and as of now, it has no wireless card or whatever. What do I need to buy to allow her PC to use my AP Extremes connection (no need for printer connection though)? Also, I should add that this AP Extreme is downstairs and the PC will be upstairs in a townhome. Just wanna make sure it will be in range.
Thanks a lot...oh, and if you do provide the "thing" I need to buy, kindly provide a link or something for me to visualize.
Thanks again!

Depending on the make/model of the desktop PC, most take PCI cards. The following Linksys WMP54G just might do the trick.
...or if the desktop PC already has an Ethernet card, something like the Linksys WET54G would be another option.

What are the settings for exporting the best possible quality movies?

I'm trying to export movies using imove 11, there are a ton of export setting, im wondering which are the best for exporting top quality movies? assuming file size doesnt matter.

ok so heres what the movie inspector says:
Format: Photo- JPEG, 1024 x 576, Million Linear PCM, 24 bit little-endian signed integer, 2channels, 44100 Hz
FPS: 17.80
Data Rate:9.63 mbit/s
Current Size:1024 x 576 pixels (actual)
So do i want to somehow duplicate these settings?
The other thing I was thinking about was opening the file in Quicktime and using the "trim" feature to edit it down that way, although its not as neat. Would this preserve the quality? And would it get rid of the excess footage (which is what I want)? Or would it like keep that footage attached to the file somehow?
Thanks

Trying to burn movie in iMovie...what do I do??

I have almost created a movie using iMovie, now what do I do to get onto my DVD??
And...can I insert a photo slideshow in the middle of my movie? How?

There is no edequate substitute for iDVD, it's just that Apple have decided to withdraw it.
Apple insists that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast.
And if you think Microsoft are any better, their new Windows 8 operating system will not play DVDs, or burn them, unless customers buy an extra upgrade, the company has announced.
In other words, computer manufacturers have declared optical media as dead, long before consumers are ready to stop using them, which is fine as long as they offered us a choice, but they won’t even do that.

Upgrading RAM and your HD will give you some performance gains, but depending on what you are doing, it may not be enough. Your best friend will always be processor speed. This has a direct relation to how many cores and the speed of the RAM.
However, if you are unable to spring for a new computer, then the options of running more RAM and a biggger, faster HD should ruduce some bottle necks.
Here is a site where you can check out what your computer can handle http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Apple_MacBook_MacBook_Pro/Upgrade They have some charts comparing speed gains with various components.

Hi you have basicly 2 Options.
1 -if you Switch One fotostream on all 3 devices of yours which are working on the same apple id -all Fotos you Take with your iPad will be synchronized via icloud to the other 2 decvices ( w-lan and battery depending).
2- If you select foots or a whole album in iPhoto on your air or iMac and choose than puplish --> fotostream --> new or existing event you can key in a friends mail. If this friend has iCloud and iPhoto ( for iMac or MacBook ) and click on the link in the email it will download this fotos in the fotostream section in iPhoto. If he has a iPad, iPhone,... It will do it in the foto app and if he doesn't have a iCloud account at all and you choose "public web site" while publishing he can see your fotostream on a website.
