What does this mean and how do I fix it: "The following warnings and errors were found during the validation of the current project:  - There appears to be a broken asset in your project. Correct this problem before burning this project."

It means that iDVD has found a problem with one of the movies added to the project.  Did you edit the movie after it had been added to the project.
Create a new project and add your assets, movies, slides, etc. again and follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
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.

  • TS2972 apple tv can't sign in to iTunes Store until the network time has been set. this is an Apple generated message. what does it mean? how can i fix it? very very very simple questions but there is no reasonable answer from Apple anywhere on the intern

    this is an apple generated message. simple!
    what does it mean? so far no one at apple has a clue.
    how do i fix it? nothing even begins to address this issue so far. generalities about system setup show a lack of respect for customers. yes my system is plugged in and i have reset and rebooted and rechecked everything. i need help because this a real problem that needs a real solution, not more platitudes.
    help please, not more wasting of my time. i have spent an entire afternoon on this already.

    this is exactly the kind of response i expected, almost begged support to please not do this to me and yet there it is another meaningless, non helpful, standard template response to restart my apple tv.
    this does NOT work which is why i am contacting you. i have tried all suggestions about unplugging and restarting and nothing works.
    i live in an apartment and logon to the provided wifi wireless. so i do not have access to a router. however, management says they have talked with their provider and have been assured that the required ports are available.
    remember all the jokes about how bad windows was because the solution was always to re boot. funny huh? how is apple any different.
    i have been to the local apple care store and they are clueless, too.
    should we just end it here and you admit that i will not be getting any support from apple on this one? i got the ipad because my kids were such big fans. it is difficult for me to share their enthusiasm.
    at this point i am just curious about how you say you cannot support your own product so i can complete my file on this contact.
    thanks...sorry it was you who got this problem..

  • IPad says" no sim" what does that mean? How can I fix this?

    My iPad says" no sim" how do I fix this?

    Or if that does not help go into settings and check if you have it turned on and not just set  to Wi Fi only , but I don't think it would be saying no sim in that case.

  • I have been using firefox on my desktop with windows xp for years with no problems and suddenly refused to open. The error message reads "unable to locate component. plc4.dll was not found." What does that mean? How do I fix it?

    The error message also suggests that I unintall and reinstall firefox, I tried that but it does not fix the problem.

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then disable Virtualization and reinstall Firefox.
    Other security software may have similar features to prevent Firefox from updating files properly.

  • Im from Philippines and my iphone is from Japan after I updated it to iOs 6.1.3 it wont activate it says ''Activation Error Please Contact Customer Care'' what does it mean? How can I activate it? Please help me.

    Im from Philippines and my iphone is from Japan after I updated it to iOs 6.1.3 it wont activate it says ''Activation Error Please Contact Customer Care'' what does it mean? How can I activate it? Please help me.

    You can NOT unlock it. Only the carrier it is locked to can legally authorize unlocking it and the Japanese carriers will not do so.
    In order to be using it previously with a non Japanese carrier, the phone had to be hacked to illegally unlock it.  You can not get help here.
    Buy a new phone you can use.

  • Error Message regarding Facetime: I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

    I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

    The Beta version of Facetime is a free test/trial version that Apple placed on some computers in the past.  It has expired -- to get a working Facetime version back you must go to the App store and purchase "Facetime for Mac" which will cost you 99 cents.

    I keep getting an error message that reads: Not enough storage This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough icloud storage available. What does this mean? How do I fix it?

    Try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    After that: go to Settings - iCloud - Storage and backup - turn off the iCloud backup
    and backup with iTunes from now on

    I am working on a Win 7 Machine and I have disabled all Firewall and Antivirus Tasks as this caused problems on an other update.

    The video orientation is included with the video's EXIF data and the same for photos. It is that state of the art OS your computer is running that doesn't recognize or completely ignores the EXIF orientation data.
    This link applies to photos but whatever Windoze application you are using to view videos should provide the same or similar.

    Wi-Fi is turned on but is not connected to a network. What does this mean?  How do I fix it?

    Hi, Kozou. Welcome to the forums!
    Connect your computer to the Express's Ethernet port and open AirPort Utility. Does this allow AirPort Utility to find your Express?
    If so, go through the setup process. After the Express restarts, disconnect it from the computer and connect it to your DSL, cable modem, or whatever provides your internet connection. Wait a minute or so. The light on the Express should turn green.
    Now tell your MBP to join the wireless network created by the Express. You can do this using the AirPort menu or the Network pane of System Preferences.
    Does this work?

  • Idvd5.01 Errors were found during the burning process (Burned Finished)

    I've never had this problem before, but i'm trying to burn a dvd after all the media and dvd are ready for burning and when I click on the burn icon the following message pops up: Errors were found during the burning process. I've check to make sure nothing is hanging outside the title safe area. Any suggestion to why I'm getting this error.

    Hello, Oscar,
    This message can mean several things.
    First, are you burning an iMovie or a slideshow or both?
    Do you have chapter markers in your movie? Are they on or withing 2 seconds of any transition or at the beginning of your movie?
    Does everything encode properly?
    Are you able to 'save as disk image'?
    Post back with some more details about your project.

  • Errors were found during the burning process!?!?

    I finished importing a movie off of my DV Camera and clicked "share" in the iDVD '06 menu. I selected iDVD and my movie was sent into iDVD 6. After customizing a menu, and inserting a blank disc, the burning process was started. After iDVD6 has finished "processing" and "rendering" the menus and the movie, the progress bar for the action "burning your DVD" pops up. About a quarter of the way through I get a window which says the following:
    Burning Finished
    Errors were found during the burning process.
    After clicking "Details" it says:
    The recording device reported the media error: Write error. (0x0C, 0x00.)
    I have tried burning a movie on all DVD types available.(DVD-R DVD+R DVD RW) Why does this problem keep occurring? Is there a problem with my superdrive?

    Hello Ilzmaster,
    the cause could be your burner, but it's much more likely that high burn speed is the culprit - and you can't control that in iDVD.
    Try creating a disk image (File > Save as Disk image). This creates an .img file on your HDD, that can be stored for future use and gives you the option to preview your DVD on your Mac before burning to disc.
    Next use Disc Utility or Toast to burn your DVD at slow speed. 4x is acceptable, 2x (... or even 1x) is better.
    Use only high quality DVD-R (not DVD+R) media (e.g. Verbatim) to minimize burn errors and compatibility issues. Make sure the DVD is compatible with slow burn speed (e.g. 1x-4x)
    Also: iDVD likes to have the project(s) on your startup disc with 15 - 20 GB of available disc space
    hope this helps
    mish
