No, I misunderstood - it's if you have audio playing. If you have
background music it won't let you choose a manual move. Weird.

[sigh] never mind. Turn out if you do it that way you can't have a
manual move, but if you create a new iDVD project and add a slideshow,
you can.

Bad Apple.

I'm making a photo slideshow DVD in iDVD (iPhoto->Share->iDVD) and I
want to have each picture moved on manually, not after a time limit.
However, the Slide Duration dropdown has 'Manual' greyed out. What
governs this?

iDVD 7.0.2 on 10.5.3

Dear All ­

A 2 year old 1.83 GHz Intel MacBook came in (it's not true, I went and got
it) from a client. Won't complete start-up - just gets stuck at the rotating
dominoes.

Back-up, ran TechTool Pro to check filestore - problems, which it fixed, but
still machine won't complete start-up.

OK, Archive and install, restore user, update to 10.4.11. One or two updates
not done, return to client and finish off on site. Three or four updates
later, restart - and we're back to the rotating dominoes. :-(

I've reinstalled the combo 10.4.11 from an Intel based miniMac, but no joy.

JonB thinks perhaps it needs (another) HD (It had one under warranty just
before the first year was out). Just before I get my one-size-fits-all
screwdriver to work - any other ideas?

TIA

Happy weekends everyone

Dear All ­

Happier ending for this one.

iBook came in. Client had bought from eBay to replace a previous iBook (which
I had been able to back-up before it's death!). Disks with "new" iBook were
10.2.x, seller had loaded Leopard, but no password provided or findable.
Can't reset password with OS X 10.2 startup disk, so used my Leoprad to
reset. But still couldn't login.

However....there is a way, using single-user start-up, to tell the Mac that
it has never been setup for any user, and thus I was able to set up a new
Admin user, delete the old Admin user, and return iBook to client with a
restore of the files and apps from his old machine.

Being cagey about process (but it's not THAT hard to find) and sometimes
knowing it CAN be done is sufficient. FYIO

Dear All ­

An iBook came in, full to bursting, client had tried to back-up, re-load, etc
made a hash of it. Asked me to tidy up machine.

I did a full back-up (natch), put in some more RAM, and did a clean install
of OS X 10.3.x.. Recreated user. Then loaded combo 10.3.9.

So far so good. Then loaded four more of the updates as advertised by
Software Update (SU). Can't remember which ones, but 3 of the 4 required a
restart so did that all in one go.

Now the machine starts up just fine, but Software Update won't run! So I
can't complete the updates process.

Machine seems otherwise fine. I've re-installed the 10.3.9 combo. Still no
SU.

SU Crash log says:

Version ??? (???)
PID: 444
Thread: Unknown

Link (dyld) error:

and several Webkit and Webcore undefined references.

Before I do an Archive and Install again - any ideas?
