Why is iDVD not recognizing my DL disks??

I am using a G5 loaded with iLife 6, FCP, etc. I have a movie which is a little over 2 hours in length and I do not have DVD Studio loaded on this computer; only iDVD. I just purchased a pack of double layered DVD's but am having a problem in iDVD. I went into preferences and changed it to "double layer" however I am still getting the error message that my file is too big:
"Your project exceeds the maximum content duration."
iDVD is looking at and registering 4.172 GB as the max, which is the stat for a single layered disk. How do I get iDVD to recallibrate to a double layer? Thanks.

Did you change the iDVD preferences to switch from 'Best Performance' to 'Best Quality".
With a DL disc, BP gives you 120 minutes while BQ gives you 240 minutes.

Why is authorization not recognized?

Why is authorization not recognized when I enter my password if it works when I log into my user account? I see the book in my hard drive downloaded from the New York Public Library.
Why haven't I received a notification in my email when I click "forgot my password" ?(Its just a test because I really do know the password)

You seem to have the general.useragent.override pref set to an empty string.<br />
You can reset that pref to the default via the right-click context menu to remove that override.

Nikon D810 RAW format support was added in ACR 8.6 you need Photoshop CS6 or newer. Or you can create DNG file for your NEF files and convert then with older versions of ACR.

Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much. An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

Why is Iphoto not recognizing my Iphone?

My Iphoto is not recognizing my Iphone - WHY??? It used to be automatic.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key )

IDVD not recognizing chapters created in QT Pro

Due to limitations in iMovie i create my movies from jpegs in iPhoto and then add chapter markers in QT Pro using Apple scripts. Suddenly iDVD (4.0.1) is not recognizing the chapters and in scene selection only shows 'Start' and 'Start 2', not all the chapters I've created and their names.
I think this happened to me once before in the past year or 2. There was a new version of QT Pro that was not working 100% with the Apple Scripts for adding chapters and someone on a forum rewrote the "add chapter at current time" script which solved my problem. Was it anyone on this forum? To clarify the chapters show in QT but not in iDVD.
If anyone has any ideas i'd be grateful. Thank you.

Why is Youtube not recognizing my Adobe Flash Player Add-On?

I just did the auto update so that Firefox 17.0 was installed. Anyway, for whatever reason, Youtube only seems to notice that my Adobe Flash Player add-on exists when it wants to. At the moment, it's not recognizing it, so I can't play videos. I've had to close out my current sessions of Firefox to get it to recognize the Flash Player, and then even then it's a crap shoot. What is going on? How can I fix this? Flash is one of the most basic programs needed in an internet browser, these days.

Yes, this worked. And, I didn't even have to close Firefox to get it to work.

2nd HDD not recognized in Win7 Disk Manager, Shows in Device Manager, BIOS, Win7 Repair CD

Hello,
I am trying to add a newly purchased HDD to my laptop as the secondary HDD. The primary is a 160 GB SSD.
Primary SSD: Intel 160 GB SSD model SSDSA2BW160G3H
Secondary HDD: WD 750 GB 7200 RPM SATA/300, Model WDBLHJ7500ANC-NRSN
Laptop: HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 Quad 17.3" laptop
Laptop Config: Intel i7-3720QM 2.6 GHz Quad Core, 8 GB RAM, nVidia GT650M, 160 GB SSD
Laptop BIOS: F.24
Laptop Date of Birth: 5/24/2012
OS: Win 7 Prof x64
Shows up in BIOS (can run diagnostics OK).
Shows up in Win 7 Prof Device Manager.
Does NOT show up in Disk Manager.
Checked device drivers for Win7 Prof Device Manager HDD, have the latest.
Checked service manual, can't see anything that I missed.
Booted with Active@BootDisk (Win PE rescue disk), drive showed up as uninitialized.
Initialized drive, partitioned (one large), formatted NTFS.
Booted with Win 7 Repair Disk (Win PE), can see the drive in command prompt, able to write a text file to it OK.
Still won't show up in Win 7 Prof in Disk Manager.
Any ideas? Maybe a firmware upgrade for the laptop? Some kind of incompatibility with the HDD and SDD such as different dirve modes (don't believe that Win7 has issues with IDE versus AHCI devices)?
I had trouble adding a 2nd HDD to my dv7-6000 laptop; it finally just showed up months later. Is this common with HP laptops?
I am stumped and any help is appreciated. I checked the Internets and didn't see anything other than HW issues. I need this to work for the new semester that started today.

More testing:
WD Data Lifeguard (Western Digital's HDD diagnostics) also won't see the HDD after booting with Win 7 Prof off of the SSD.
Moved the HDD cable from the 2nd HDD to the primary header (SSD disconnected). Was able to install another instance of Win7 on the 2nd HDD OK; this proves that the new WD HDD and the secondary cable are OK. Moved the cable back to the 2nd header (still no SSD) and the computer booted off of the secondary HDD connected to the secondary header OK.
Added the SSD back to the primary header and booted into the instance of Win7 off of the SSD. Disk Management can't see the 2nd HDD, WD Data Lifeguard can't see the 2nd HDD; however, Device Manager is able to see the 2nd HDD OK.
Ran Intel SSD toolbox on SSD; no issues. Ran WD Align by Acronis on SSD (checks for advanced format alignment of 4K boundaries); it's already aligned to 4k boundaries.
Connected HDD to pri header, booted Win7 Ultimate on HDD. Ran WD Data Lifeguard on HDD; it's fine. Booted into WD Align by Acronis CD, ran WD align against HDD; it's already aligned to 4k boundaries.
Put HDD on pri header, SSD on secondary header and booted into Win7 Ultimate on HDD. Able to see both drives in Dask Management.
Put SSD back onto primary header, HDD back onto 2nd header, booted into Win7 Prof on SSD. Disk Management can't see the HDD again...
Updated laptop BIOS from F.24 to F.2D rev A (Install Shield Wizard confirms that it is for Win7 x64 as well as Win 8.1). Didn't fix the issue...
Ran Intel Driver Update Utility. I have the Intel RST (Rapid Store Technology) driver v 11.0.0.1032. Did not state that I needed to upgrade this driver. This is latest version on the HP website.
Everything works except having the SSD connected to the primary header, having the HDD connected to the secondary header, booting into Win7 Prof on the SSD and trying to see the HDD in Disk Management. Unfortunately, this is the configuration that I need to work.
Any thoughts on what is causing this? Hardware issue with HP Laptop? Power supply issue? Bad HDD controller? Bad install of Win7 Prof on SSD (appears to run fine otherwise).

Why is Itunes not recognizing my devices??

I updated my Itunes two days ago to iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows (64-bit). Now my itunes will not recognize my Ipad or Iphone 5. I have iOS 7.0.4.
I have Windows 8. My computer is a Dell. It is about six months old. I have two different cables, and tried both. It will import my photos, so I know my computer is seeing the two devices, but nothing beyond that. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have shut down and restarted multiple times. I checked and I do not have a driver issue on my computer. Everything worked just fine before I did the update....
I have tried everything I can think of. I tried to Bluetooth versus using the cord, but for some reason I am unable to do that so that is not an option.
HELP!!!

Hello, Angiinkc.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.

Why in my new internal hard drive not recognized by boot disk?

My OS HD died and I am replacing it with a Seagate 500 GB, 7200rpm 6gb/s drive. I am booting from snow leopard disk on my dual core, Intel 3 GHz 2007 Mac pro. the set up wind sees my other data disks (internal HD2 with my data, and two external fire wire drives but not the new disk. I want to load the OS onto the new disk...that was my goal. Any ideas?

Most brand new drives out of the box appear as "Unformatted" or Windows formatted. If you want to place Mac OS X on a drive, you need to erase it and create a GUID partition Map and a Mac OS X Extended, journaled Volume. (It is not difficult, those are the defaults).

Why is iDVD not available in the apple app store?

hi there!
i wonder why iDVD is not available in the App-Store.
are the functions from iDVD part of Final Cut Pro - or is there a other official program for creating DVDs out of iMovie films?
hope to find an answer here,
greetings
david

Apple has stopped development and support of iDVD and iWeb. They are currently only available via the boxed iLife 11 disk from Amazon.com: iLife 11 or maybe eBay.com.

Need help with Mac & PC not recognizing external drive (disk not readable)

I am having trouble getting my computer(s) to recognize my Seagate External Drive.
Have tried on my MacBook, iMac, 2 Mini's & my roommate's PC and all reveal the same issue: The Disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.
MacBook/iMac both are working off of Leopard
Both Mini's are on Tiger
It won't show up in finder, rendering it unobtainable. I need to get the information if at all possible off of this hard drive (very important!!) so any help I can get would be greatly appreciated!
It allows me to go into disk utility where it shows up with this information:
Name : ST316002 3A Media
Type : Disk
Partition Map Scheme : Master Boot Record
Disk Identifier : disk4
Media Name : ST316002 3A Media
Media Type : Generic

Device Tree : /PCI0@0/USB7@1D,7/@4:0

Total Capacity : 149.1 GB (160,041,885,696 Bytes)
S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
Disk Number : 4
Partition Number : 0
And it is in the "about this mac" section with this information:
Seagate Mass Storage:

Removable Media: Yes
Detachable Drive: Yes
BSD Name: disk4
Version: 0.00
Bus Power (mA): 500

Product ID: 0x0500
Serial Number: 3LJ07T540000
S.M.A.R.T. status: Not Supported
Vendor ID: 0x0bc2

Additional info:
on the disk4s1 info in disk utility, this information is seen:
Name : disk4s1
Type : Volume
Disk Identifier : disk4s1
Mount Point : Not mounted
Connection Bus : USB
Device Tree : /PCI0@0/USB7@1D,7/@4:1

Journaled : No
Disk Number : 4
Partition Number : 1
so it looks like a whole lot of no's that need to be turned around! I can't understand why it won't be read by either Mac or PC with all of this, or how I can fix it

Why is DVD not recognized or burnable?

I am using an iMac G5, along with some HP DVD=R 4.7 GB disks. If I put them into the superdrive, they do not appear on the desktop. If I attempt to burn on to them it starts, then spit out with error message that the "burn failed due to an internal error". Once this happens the disk cannot be used for burning again even though it does not appear to have any content. After several tries I moved to my Macbook Air and that seems to be burning on to these disks without a problem.
Any idea why the difference?
Thanks, Richard

Hi:
The only suggestion I can offer would be to try each of of the resolution steps, 2, 3, 4 and 5 from the link below.

One of them should fix the problem.
#2 is the easiest thing to try first, then just go down the line.
