Why do my rollover buttons quit working when I burn my project to a DVD?
Hi
I have a reel of my work built and everything functions when I simulate the project in DVD Studio Pro. However, when I burn the project to a DVD, my rollover buttons no longer work )and the quality of my work (menus, images, and videos) becomes very poor. I created my layered rollover buttons and menus using Photoshop. How can I resolve these issues?
Thanks
Welcome to the discussions... Eric has the answer for you - you won't get a rollover effect when you use photoshop layer based menus because of the way that these become a series of different menus when the disc is built. You most certainly can get rollover effects if you use a standard overlay menu type.
The reasons for using a layer menu are largely confined to situations where you absolutely must reveal some contextual information when a user selects a button, and where this information must use a common area of the menu to all of the other buttons that do this. In all other situations avoid using them if you can, as they are so limited, offer slow playback to the end user, need more than one mouse click to activate a button and don't support audio or video backgrounds.
Use a standard overlay and you won't have these issues.

What do I do when my home button quites working when I've had my ipod for 7 months?
What do I do when the screen on my ipod touch is not reading my touches? I can't touch the screen and i can't turn it off to reset everything
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Rollover images stop working when image lies on top
Hello,
I am trying to place a PNG image over my menu bar. This is a swoosh which overlaps certain areas on the menu bar, the swoosh is a PNG file with no BG. It seems that the swoosh retaining box, stops the rollover buttons from working. They work up to the point in which the swoosh box starts.
Am i missing something really simple, or is it a common fault.
Go easy on me as it is my first post
Thank you
WillThe menu bar in blue is positioned behind the blue and yellow swoosh. The rollove effect works when the curser is on the text but as you move down, the rollover effect stops, its at the position where the swoosh retaining box starts that the rollover effect stops working. Its to do with the layers im sure, i just thought seeing as the swoosh pixels dont interfere that obejct behind should be selectable.
Does this help? -

iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?
Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

Layered menu buttons not working when built.
I have a project that has one menu and one track. The menu has 7 buttons linked to 7 different markers in the track. When I run the simulation in DVD SP, the buttons link fine, and play as they should...but when I build the project and run it in DVD player or burn it to a disk, the buttons do not work.
If I create a non-layered menu, the buttons will work when built...
I feel like i'm just missing one little setting on the layered menu
Thanks
Mac OS X (10.4.8)Don't forget that a layered menu will normally need two presses to get anything to happen, one to select the button and the second to activate it.
That said, are you sure that you have got the psd file set up correctly? I would recommend using a background layer with everything on it that you want to appear when not selected, then only adding layers with the changes necessary to show the button selection/activation. -

Hi Freedom666,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your issue (receiving mail from Gmail to iPad, sending mail from iPad to Gmail, or both). If you are having issues sending or receiving mail on your iPad, you may find the troubleshooting steps in the following article helpful:

I was downloading an album when my computer quit working, when it came back up all of my music was missing from my library, what happened and how do I fix it?
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?
As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
In the future 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.
You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

When I burn my slideshow to a DVD, it loses focus. How can I retain the resolution of my slides?
DVD is a quite limited format and involves a very large mount of compression to get your large multi-megpixel images down to the DVD format (roughly equivalent to a 3 to 3.5 megapixel image.
Further, creating a slideshow in iPhoto (or other app) involves converting the images into a movie - and that also involves compression - so the images are doubly compressed.
It's all a matter or trial and error to find the system that works for you. Some folks export from iPhoto at the largest size possible to minimise compression in that phase, some make the slideshow in iDVD to eliminate that first phase compression entirely.

I'm adding buttons (that open other Captivate tutorials) to
the end of my tutorials. If the user doesn't click the buttons
pretty quickly they quit working. They highlight and look like
they're being clicked, but they don't open the programmed project.
It seems to me that when the slide ends, so does the functionality
of the button. The buttons don't have a "pause until user clicks"
option to check. They do have a pause time, but frankly I thought
that was causing the problem and I turned it off (or I shouldn't
have done that?). But apparently that hasn't helped.
Then, I added an invisible click box to the page that doesn't
do anything if clicked, and has the pause until user clicks
functionailty enabled. This seems to work, but is it necessary?
Feeling like I must be missing something here and can use
HELP! Thanks in advance!
ArlHi Arl
Buttons by their very nature are designed to pause until the
user clicks. So you really shouldn't turn off the pause.
Normally, if you don't change the action assigned to the
button, it will simply "Continue playing project" when it has been
clicked. And all a button will receive is a single click and it's
done. So if you failed to change the default, the user clicks and
the button continues to the pause point and stops. Then it is dead,
as the single click has expired.
By turning off the pause, you have probably allowed the
playhead to move into the "Inactive" part of the button.
Personally, I'd suggest deleting the buttons AND the Click
Box (The Click Box shouldn't be needed, as the Button should
provide the pause). Then carefully re-insert buttons and be careful
and specific with what you tell them to do. Ensure they pause and
ensure they do something other than "Continue playing project" when
clicked by the user.
Hopefully this was helpful in some way... Rick -
Samba PDC quits working when password is changed.
We are running Snow Leopard server and using the samba that comes installed with it as a PDC. We have been wanting to enforce a more strict password policy; however, whenever I change my password on the server, Samba quits working properly and our windows PC's can no longer access the server. If I set my password back to the original value, everything starts to work again. The real strange thing is I have been able to change other users' passwords with no problem and all users including mine are part of the opendirectory.
I have looked through the config files for samba and cannot see anything that references my user id so I cannot figure out for the life of me why changing my password breaks Samba.
Does anyone have any clues?
ThanksI am having the same issue. I keep getting an error message when I enter the password for my Microsoft account and I do not see where there is a seperate password for Skype. I hope some one answers this ASAP because I need to change both my photo and the primary email address.
