Why do I lose sound when I try to make a dvd from imovie to idvd.  The sound is all there in iMovie, but when I make my dvd, I have sound for about 3-4 minutes and then its gone.

I have made a 1 hour 30 minute dvd in IMOVIE.  The video and the sound are perfect.  However, when I make it into a dvd on IDVD, I lose sound after 3 or 4 minutes.  Any Suggestions?

Hey MichiganMan32,
I found an article that looks like it applies to that audio issue you're experiencing. Check out the following troubleshooting steps here:
Resolution
Make sure the audio track has not been muted in the timeline.
Switch to timeline view by clicking the clock button in the iMovie window.
There are three checkboxes on the right side of the iMovie window underneath the sound icon. These checkboxes correspond to the video track and two additional audio tracks. Make sure all three tracks are selected. Any deselected tracks are muted.
If you are using iMovie 3 or later, check the "Edit Volume" option to see if it is selected. If so, make sure the volume of the affected video clips is not set to its lowest level, or try deselecting the option to Edit Volume.
See if the volume in iMovie is set to its lowest setting. Directly under the Preview pane in iMovie is a volume slider. Set this slider to maximum volume.
Make sure the computer's audio is not muted.
Quit and reopen iMovie, then check the clip to see if it now plays with audio.
Check to see if any of the video clips you have imported are in the MPEG-1 format. MPEG-1 clips will lose audiowhen you export them as part of your iMovie project.
Quit and reopen iMovie, then reimport the footage from the camera. Play the newly imported footage and see if you now have audio.
If you are using an analog to DV converter instead of a camera, make sure the audio connections are good between your VCR or other analog device and the converter. Check the documentation that came with your converter for more information.
Check /Library/QuickTime/ and ~/Library/QuickTime/ for any third-party plugins. Remove them if present, log out, and log back in. Check to see if the issue persists. If not, check with the manufacturer of the disabled plugin to see if an update is available. Note: The tilde (~) represents your Home directory.
Note: "Apple Intermediate Codec" and "QuickTimeMPEG2" are Apple components. For more information about a particular plugin, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info. Look at the version string of the Get Info window to see if the plugin developer name is listed.
iMovie is missing audio on import, export, or playback

  • When I open firefox it works like normal for about 10-15 seconds and then it just closes. It doesn't give me any sort of error msg. How can I fix this?

    Firefox is closing without any sort of error msg. I open it and after 10-15 seconds it just closes. I don't know what's going on because it doesn't give me any msg. as to why it closed.

    These apperarances of the spinning wheel tend to be related to some io operation that takes too long. Maybe the finder is trying to reach a network server that became unavailable.
    I would try clearing caches and do an overall maintenance with an utility like OnyX.
    Also, trashing preferences does no harm and is often the first troubleshooting measure when FCP X misbehaves.

    When trying to Airplay from my Macbook Pro Retina, to AppleTv3 it plays for only a few minutes, and then jumps back to the Mac. It seems to do this no matter what I play, music, movies or pictures. I just bought a new router. This could affect it.
    I have been playing whole movies before from VLC without problems.
    Any Ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Yes it's network issues or settings that cause these types of problems most of the time.

    Try to reset your settings... Settings--general--reset (at bottom of list)--reset all settings
    Try an iOS software restore

  • Firefox crashes every few minutes for about 15 - 20 times and then crashes less often.

    I have been using Firefox for several years with no problems. I have had my current laptop for 1 and a half years and have had no problems until about 2 months ago. Now Firefox crashes after only a few seconds several times (maybe 15-20 times) and then the interval between crashes tends to increase. I googled for help, and nothing has worked. I am still using Firefox 3.6.24 because when I upgrade to the latest version Firefox freezes while it is loading and it locks up my PC. At least with Firefox 3.6.24, I can get around to using it, although it is very frustrating wiwth all the crashes.
    This is the link to the latest crash report submitted:
    2478ec0b-1112-4ba8-929e-78a97a7a5e96
    While I have your attention, is there any way I can get Firefox to stop asking me if I want to update my version. I am getting sick and tired of having to say 'NO' (for the reasons above).

    OK,
    I uninstalled Firefox and Adobe Flash Player. Then I installed version 3.6.28 of Firefox and version 10.3.183.20 of the Flash player as instructed in cor-el's post.
    Result: Same problems -- Firefox continued to crash every few minutes.
    So... I tried Tylerdowner's suggestions. I already had the latest driver version for my graphics card. Back in June, I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox which then was 13.0.1. It was the latest version available when the crashing problem started on my laptop. This version caused my laptop to freeze.
    So today, I went to the website and downloaded the more recent version 14.0.1, and it appears to be working great. I have gone for more than an hour without a crash. I hope the good performance continues.
    Thanks for the help.

  • The sound on my computer hiccups every minute - it's like a blip or a bump for about half a second and then it comes back on.

    Any ideas on what it might be or how I can fix it? It happens across the board on all my applications - iTunes, Spotify, Chrome, etc.

    There isn't much besides a failing hard drive or other hardware fault that can cause those symptoms. Run the Apple Hardware Test, or just take it to an Apple Store for testing.

  • I have trouble with my computer accepting an audio CD for I Tunes to download.  It remains in the computer for about 10- 15 seconds and then spits it out again.  Why???

    I have trouble with my computer accepting an audio CD that I want to download to ITunes.  It will remain in the computer for 10 - 15 seconds before ejecting it and not allowing me to download.  My ITunes is open.  Why does this happen or what am I doing wrong?  I have done this dozens of times before.  What makes this different and does it have anything to do with recent upgrades?

    I'm not sure? I'm new to lightroom and it's lightroom 5 that I'm using. What is happening is I go to develop the picture in the developing section in lightroom and it gives me this message that says " Develop module is disabled Please purchase a license to reactivate the develop module." I shouldnt have to do anything else after already buying the cd and downloading it initially. It's already paid for? I'm so confused!!
    why is the adobe lightroom 5 asking me to keep downloading the CD I bought at Best Buy store. I have already bought the CD and downloaded it on my computer but for some reason it gives me 10 days a then I have to download it again!!! Why is this its so an 

  • My Gmail Inbox flashes up on the screen for about half a second and then disappears, leaving a blank screen with 'Done' at bottom left.

    I can log in to Gmail as usual, but when it loads I get a very brief sight of my Inbox which then disappears. Sometimes it will load properly if I hit the Back button, but not always. I can load Gmail fine with IE. I have tried deleting cookies and cache, and run a full virus scan, with no luck. I have had this problem now for several days.

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
