Tips

What’s the URL of my webpage?

Once you’ve published a webpage with your photos, just select the page in iWeb, and then click

the Visit button to open a browser window and go right to your page on the Internet. Now you can

copy the URL and send it to all your friends.

Update an existing page

As long as your album name hasn’t changed, when you add some new photos, you can just

update your existing page, instead of creating a new one. Select the album, go to the Share

menu, select Send to iWeb, and then select Photo Page. In iWeb, a window will appear asking if

you’d like to start a new page or replace the photos on the existing page. Click Replace to update

the photos on the existing page.

Steps

Create a webpage from a photo album

1. Select individual images, or an entire album.

2. Click the iWeb button, and then select Photo Page to publish to a webpage or Blog to publish to a

blog.

3. In iWeb, select a theme and then click Choose.

4. Edit your page in iWeb to look just how you want.

5. When you’re finished, click Publish.

Creating a New Project

Use iDVD project files to organize the movies, slideshows, and menus for your DVD. You can

assemble your DVD over time and burn the disc when all the pieces are in place.

Steps

Create a project for your DVD

1. Start iDVD and click the “Create a New Project button” or choose New from the File

menu.

2. In the Create Project window type a name for your iDVD project.

3. iDVD automatically saves your DVD project in the Documents folder. Click the Where

pop-up menu if you want to save your project to an alternate location.

4. Choose Standard (4:3) or Widescreen (16:9) depending on the aspect ratio of the movies

you want to include on your DVD. Widescreen fits today’s HD TVs best, while Standard

fits traditional TVs better.

5. Click Create.

6. The main menu of your DVD appears. Double-click the title in the main menu and enter a

title for the menu.

7. Save your project by choosing Save from the File menu.

Tips
