Why won't iDVD 08 preview controls allow fast forward?

It says in the manual that clicking the "right arrow" button on the on-screen control panel will fast-forward the movie, but it doesn't. Can anyone tell me why this is?
And why doesn't the iDVD preview have the same preview slider as QuickTime does?

This is simply a suggestion .... if you are in need of "scrubbing the timeline" do this in the video editing app (ie, iMovie or FCP) and not iDVD.
The main reason we don't normally scrub the entire video w/in iDVD itself is because this is not where video editing is done (as opposed to authoring the entire DVD).
iMovie and iDVD are like a candy bar. The chocolate bar would be iMovie and iDVD would be the candy wrapper (the outside packaging only). Hope this analogy makes sense.
A couple of things you can do to quickly preview your iDVD prior to burning to media if Preview / FF isn't working correctly in iDVD..... The first would be to jump to different scenes using scene selections w/in iDVD or perhaps make a disc image first of the dvd to the desktop and then use apple's dvd player to fast forward, reverse, etc.

Why won't iDVD create chapters?

Why won't iDVD create chapters?
I'm using iMovie "09" and iDVD.
I created an iMovie project with chapter markers. When I try to create a DVD project, selecting a Theme with chapters, the chapters do no appear...only the full movie.
Don

And I figure about - if there is a setting somewhere for minutes per Chapter as in Roxio Toast ?
Go into the Map mode, select the movie there
and select the Advanced ➙ Create Chapter Markers for Movie menu option
Then you can set the Chapter length in 1 minute increments:

Why won't iDVD burn my .avi files... it used to?

i have files ending in .avi that i want to burn to a DVD, in order to watch them on television.
i throw them into the iDVD and the preview shows nothing but a blank screen.
iDVD used to burn my .avi files.
i have converted them to .mp4 / .mpg / .mov... but nothing seems to work.
sometimes, throwing a .mp4 file into iDVD nothing happens at all, or it will say unsupported / unrecognized file.
the only time it did work was when i used a program to convert a file to .mp4, but now it has a huge watermark across the picture.
why all of a sudden does it not work?

Hi
If QuickTime-player opens Your .avi files then start Inspector (cmd+I) and read
Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnnnnn
What does it read ?
What did an old .avi file that worked - read ?

Why won't my 2009 Macbook pro allow me to download the newest version of Aperture

So I'm trying to buy and download aperture from the apple page. It won't allow me to do so and I wonder if it is because I have a 2009 Macbook Pro. Do I need to buy an older version of Aperture?

Ceck, if your Mac can run 10.7.5

or 10.8.4:

You'll find all technical data in the Apple Menu.
If your Mac can run the System, buy the System at the AppStore. Mt. Lion will be directly available. For Lion visit an Apple Store and buy a thumbs drive installer.

Why won't the new preview open single images?

I have been using preview to investigate screen shots I've been taking. The problem is preview is opening every single file I've viewed with it when I open it. I take a lot of screenshots.
How do I get image preview to open JUST the image I told it to open? How do I make it stop opening multiple images at once when I don't ask it to?

Have you been quitting (CMD + Q) the application when you're done looking at the images without closing each window? I noticed this same behaviour and made it go away by closing windows prior to quitting Preview. Same goes for other applications such as Quicktime or Safari.
If you want to prevent this from happening in every app you can change it in the General Preferences in your System Preferences.

It could be that in your copy of DW, the browser list is empty. Have you checked your preferences settings to see if it looks something like this:
If it isn't then you can add the browsers by clicking on the + sign shown in the picture.

Why won't iDVD recognise my iMovie HD 6 project?

I use the share>iDVD, and iDVD opens, but in Media it says "This iMovie project can't be used...." The solution offered is to "save to Media Browser" this is not an option in HD 6. If I try and import to iMovie '08, nothing is actually imported. What can I do? I have completed two projects and I want to burn them on 1 disc with menu options?

Instead of sharing, create an iDVD project and try dragging your iMovie project icon (the one with the star on it) into the edge of your iDVD project main menu window. It should import right into iDVD.
However, your iMovie and iDVD appear not to be working correctly. You should be able to share to iDVD if you are doing it correctly. Try closing them both down and trashing the files com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app on your Mac. Now see if iMovie will properly share to iDVD.

Why won't Final Cut Pro 7 allow me to Shift, Command or Option-select items?

I am having a major problem with Final Cut Pro 7. I commonly select multiple items using the Shift (⇧), Command (⌘), or Option (⌥) keys. However, just recently it started not allowing me to select multiple items this way. What happens is either the timeline, the slug, or the canvas will play (depending on which one is selected) I didn't change anything on the computer; it just started happening. I even tried reinstalling the whole entire Final Cut Studio. However, the problem still remains. This is a real problem and really is causing major issues for me. How do I fix this!?!? I'm at a loss. I've tried everything that I could think of short of reinstalling the entire OS (which I may end up doing). Can someone help me?

>I believe that the uninstaller that Digital Rebellion provides (and I used) does, in fact, delete the preferences...
Of course. DR's FCS Remover does exactly what it says on the tin. Except it does not come in a tin.
What it does is remove every vestige of any version of Final Cut Studio.
I ran it on my computer and filled the space that FCS took up by running a script which installed an animated .gif of a dancing banana several times over. Let's be honest. Video editing is a stupid hobby anyway.
Here is the banana...

Why won't Reader 9 for Mac allow commenting on pdf v 1.3 or 1.4?

Hi,
I'm using Reader 9 for Mac, and my editor is sending me pdfs that she has given me permission to edit using the comment feature. I have found that when those pdf are version 1.6 I can edit them, but when they are version 1.3 or 1.4 I cannot. Additionally, those pdfs version 1.3 are create by QuarkExpress (not sure what that is) and those that are 1.6 are created by Acrobat Distiller 7.0 fo Mac. Colleagues who use a PC have no problem editing those same pdfs, regardless of version.
Has anyone encountered this problem and /or know of a way to address it?
Your help would be much appreciated.
SF

The ability to enable commenting didn't come out until version 7 so I would imagine that is why they don't work on those PDF's.
Other people may be able to comment because they "may" be using Acrobat and not Reader.

Why won't my printer print page numbers? The page numbers show up when I preview the document by don't print on the page.

Why won't my printer print page numbers in a document? The page numbers show in print preview, but will not print on document.

Perhaps you have set the margins so tight to the edge of the paper that you have gotten into the non-printing area for your printer. Most printers have a dead zone.
What are your margin settings?

Why won't some songs in the iTunes store play a preview?

Some songs or albums will not allow one to hover over the track number to get the play icon. The new Dave Mathews Band album, and the new The xx album won't show the preview play button, for example. What gives?

Why won't my security scan allow me to download creative cloud?

Why won't my windows 8 allow my download to pass the security scan?

At a guess (you don't list the error), what maybe happening is that you have booted from the original OS install disc, told it to install the (old) original OS on to the hard disk and it has said - no thanks you cannot install an older version because it already has a newer version installed.
This is 'normal', what you have to do is totally erase the hard disk first. You do this by booting from the original OS install disc, but rather than trying to do an install straight away, you should first use Disk Utility and use that to erase the hard disk. Then you can run the install again and because the hard disk will be empty it will not have a newer OS on it and the installer will be happy.
Obviously this means any files you have on the hard disk will be erase as well. If you want to keep them you are going to need to back them up first, the easiest way would be to use Time Machine to backup to an external hard disk.

HT3669 Now that the driver update allows my HP printer to scan, why won't it show up in Image Capture?

Now that the driver update allows my HP all-in-one to scan, why won't it show up in Image Capture?

According to IC's help:
If you can’t see your scanner in the list, refer to the documentation that came with your scanner to see how to scan images.
Alternatively, quit IC, reset your AIO in Print&Fax prefPane, relaunch IC, and see if that lists it.

Try:
