Add music on iDVD (iLife 11) hangs every time

I'm using iDVD to produce a DVD from a movie created using iMovie.  Both from iLife 11.
I have Lion - all software is up to date.
Every single time I try to add music to the menu of my DVD iDVD crashes.  I've dragged and dropped music from Finder and dragged it from the iTunes/Audio selection in the media panel in iDVD.  Every time the spinning wheel forever and the only option is force quit and try again.
Anyone else face this?  Any bug fixes for iDVD in the works?

Any bug fixes for iDVD in the works?
Not likely since Apple has discontinued support of iDVD.
Have you tried creating a new project and add music to it?
Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder. 
Click to view full size
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
Also try usin aiff formatted audio files.

  • Why does my iTunes hang every time when using automatic device detect?

    Why does my iTunes hang every time that I connect either of my devices (iTouch-4th Gen, iPod Nano-5th Gen), to my Win 7 (64-bit) PC desktop?  By the way, this does not happen if I open iTunes first, and then connect the device.  So my workaround was to simply uncheck the checkbox that allows iTunes to start automatically upon device connection.  This doesn't fix the problem, but it allows me to synch my device, but it would be nice to be able to have the autodetect work properly, so that iTunes would start normally without locking up on me and freezing. That's what I mean by 'hanging'.  My whole computer doesn't freeze--only iTunes.

    Hello E
    Start with finding the path where the songs are on your PC by right clicking the songs that are missing in iTunes and click Get Info. You should get a window that pops up and in the Summary tab; the path will be there. Then navigate to where it was and see if the files exist. Other than that you can try to search your computer to find those files. Checkout the articles below for tips on finding the missing music, also if some of the tracks are downloaded from the iTunes Store you can download the tracks again by deleting the missing tracks from iTunes and then navigating to the purchases section in the iTunes Store to download them again.

  • ITunes 7.0.1 hangs every time I start it

    Ever since I upgraded iTunes from 6 to 7.0.1 it hangs every time I start it while it is "Determining Gapless Playback Information". It always hangs on the 19th song and I have to force quit iTunes just to be able to use my computer again. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I have managed to solve the problem. It seems that iTunes 7.0.1 is unable to play one album in my entire collection and it hangs if I try to have any songs from that album in my iTunes library. I managed to get iTunes working again by reimporting my iTunes library and then removing the offending album before it could get up to doing the gapless playback mojo on those tracks.
    To reinstall the iTunes library
    1- go to ~/Music/iTunes/
    2- move iTunes Music Library.xml file to your desktop.
    3- trash the iTunes Library file.
    4- start up iTunes and go to ->File->Import and import the iTunes Music Library.xml file from your desktop.
    Bare in mind if you have a big library that it will probably take a while to import your entire file list. Try removing the offending song from your iTunes library and see if it works.
    Strangely, the offending mp3 files play fine if opened in Quicktime. It would seem that something to do with the files encoding is crashing iTunes gapless playback process.

  • N8 music player has to refresh library every time ...

    N8 music player has to refresh library every time after switching on the phone. why?

    How do you try to start the repair dialogue? By starting Aperture or by opening the Library?
    If you not already have tried it with directly opening the library: 
    reveal your Aperture Library in the Finder
    Whilst holding down Command(⌘)- option (⌥) double click on the Aperture Library.
    Select "repair library" from the dialogue.
    What about Frank Caggiano's questions above?
    It would be really helpful to know, how many libraries you have, and if this problem is restricted to one of them.

  • How to stop an "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?

    </blockquote>
    Solved it shortly afterwards thanks as I realised it must have happened when I refreshed Firefox, so went through the process again and found the boxes for tabs already pre-ticked so cancelled them. Would have been a lot easier though had it been left as an option to tick as I assumed it was another safeguard leaving me with no idea what had happened....
    Anyway thanks :-)

  • Upgrading iPhoto 2 to iPhoto 08 hangs every time, Please, PLEASE Help.

    I'm trying to upgrade my Fathers version of iPhoto 2 (2.01) to iPhoto 08 (v7.1.1), and upon launching it, it prompts to upgrade the iphoto library, but when doing so will hang every time, and I eventually have to force quit iPhoto.
    A couple things to note:
    There are no locked pictures or folders in the iPhoto library, and the permissions seem to be correct.
    Ive tried copying the iphoto library to different drives and computers all with the same result.
    He has many custom albums and most of his 3000+ pictures have been named accordingly which I'm trying to preserve.
    Upon force quit, I have saved the error report to a text file if that would help for someone to figure it out.
    Please Help.

    It's perfectly possible to go from v2 to v7 and there is no need to go through any of the intermediate versions.
    The problem you are having is not with the app, but rather with the Library, and this problem is going to affect any attempt to upgrade.
    The most likely cause is actually a permissions issue. I know you say that you've checked them, but try Download BatchMod from
    http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
    And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/toad.hall/.Pictures/Forum/BatChmod.png
    (Credit to Old Toad for this one).
    It'll only take a couple of seconds.
    If that fails, then the next mostl likely culprit is a damaged file. To track one such down, try use the rebuild command of iPhoto Library Manager. Be sure to read the help on that app FIRST.

  • Tempo service hangs every time I start laptop

    Well it hung again even after uninstalling and installing tempro.
    I decided to unistall it completely as hoped this would stop it freezing up but it didn't.
    Today it froze as per usual but when I checked the problem reporting there was not a report nor did it give me any information as to why it froze again today.
    Totally at a loss as to why this is happening, and how can it be fixed if there is no reason given for it freezing???

  • Why my firefox is hanging every time i want to add-on (new tab)?

    when i want to open a new web address in new tab(add-ons),my mozilla firefox will hanged and all the pages also hanged? should i install a new updated on add-ons?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hello.
    You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

    Hi
    In what format was the Audio You used ?
    I only use
    • .aiff 48kHz 16-bit (as from miniDV tape Camera - or -
    • .aiff 44.1kHz from Audio-CD (as You play on the Stereo)
    I never use (directly without converting to .aiff)
    • .mp3
    • .wma
    • - from iTunes
    all of them I convert to .aiff 48kHz or 44.1kHz
    then iDVD (and iMovie and FinalCut Express AND Pro) takes them without any problems

  • Safari 4.0.3 hangs every time I try to print a web page to a pdf file.

    Hi. Just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and whether or not they have found a fix for it. Every time I try to print a web page to a pdf file from Safari (v4.0.3 running under Snow Leopard 10.6.1), Safari hangs and I have to force quit the program. The pdf is saved successfully, but the browser hangs immediately after the file has been created.
    The problem is very consistent - every time I try to print a web page to a pdf file, the browser hangs. Anyone else have the same problem? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try Safari maintenance.
    From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
    from the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
    Mac OS: Web Browser Quits Unexpectedly or Stops Responding
    Safari add-ons can cause performance issues or other situations
    Also, try clearing the printers print queue.

  • 8.2 hangs every time I do a search in the iTunes store

    iTunes 8.2 seems to be working OK for the most part, except one big thing. EVERY time I do a search within the Store, when it brings up my results page, after 1-2 seconds I get the spinning beachball of application death and the app just hangs. Have to force quit. Other than that, no problem.
    Anyone else seeing this, and any idea how I can resolve it? Have upgraded to 10.5.7, have no further software updates to apply, repaired permissions, all that stuff.
    I can go to the Store and select a specific item and that seems OK, it’s just the search results.
    Weird, and frustrating.

    Hi,
    Do you see the same issue when logged into another user account on the Mac?
    Try removing any 3rd-party iTunes add-ons or plug-ins as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22611
