Can't not open a previous iDVD project

I have wedding project that I completed in March. I wanted to burn another copy. I double clicked, I tried to open in iDVD. It quickly loads themes and then the window pops "create new project, open existing project, etc. Can anyone help on this matter? It was stored on the Lacie hardrive and then I put it on my desktop. It would not open.

Do you have one of the DVDs that you burned in March?
If so, you can use that to burn another by making a Disk Image using Disk Utility:
Creating a disk image
You can use Disk Utility to create a disk image of a disk, volume, or folder. You can use disk images to move files from one computer to another or to send to other people in email messages.
You can also use a disk image to burn a CD or DVD disc to send to other people or to back up the contents of your disk so that you can restore it if something happens to your information.
When you create a disk image you choose the format of the image:
If you want to continue adding files to the disk image after it's created, choose read/write.
If you don't need to add more files to the disk image, choose read-only.
If you don't need to add more files to the image and you want to conserve space, choose compressed . The disk image takes up only as much space as the data on the image.
If you want to use the disk image with a third-party application, choose CD/DVD master. The disk image contains a copy of all sectors of the disk, whether they're used or not, and copies them to other CDs or DVDs bit for bit.
You can also create a blank disk image so that you can copy files to it later. See "Creating a blank disk image" for more information.
Be sure the files you want to protect are in the same folder in the Finder.
To create a disk image from a disk or volume, select it in the list of disks and volumes.
Choose File > New then the type of image you want to create.
To create a disk image from a folder, choose “Disk Image from Folder.” Select the folder you want, then click Image.
To create a disk image from a disk or volume, choose "Disk Image from disk name."
Type a name for the image and choose where you want to save the image.
Choose one of the disk formats from the Image Format pop-up menu.
To require a password to access the contents of the image, choose "AES-128 (recommended)" from the Encryption pop-up menu.
Click Save.
If you chose to use a password, enter it in the dialog that appears.
The name of the disk image is followed by the filename extension ".dmg."
Once you have created a disk image from your prior DVD, you can use that disk image to burn more copies of the DVD:

  • Why can I not open some previous documents in Pages?

    Help! I can not open previous documents in pages.  It is instructing me to download the latest, when I do try, it tells me the most current has been installed?  I still can not open the documents?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • IMovie-- Share to iDVD--- Opens previous iDVD project...why?

    Hello all,
    I hope this is as simple as setting a preference somewhere. I have created an iMovie project and I am sending to iDVD via the "Share" menu. When I do this, iDVD automatically opens the PREVIOUS iDVD project I was working on. I would assume that it would let me choose to "Create New" from the iDVD "Share" menu....am I mistaken? Is there a simple preference change that I am missing?
    Just for the record, I usually export from iMovie to iDVD to "Full Quality" then import that into iDVD. However, this project has many chapter markers that I need to include in the DVD. From everything I've been reading, I HAVE to use the "Share" to iDVD option in order to preserve the chapter markers.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated:)

    Klaus1...
    Thanks for the advice. If I understand what you're saying, I can just close the iDVD project and then open a new one and import the iMovie project file I'm working with?
    Karl,
    I have done this several times and each time iDVD was not running when I "Shared" to iDVD from iMovie. Although, if I open a new iDVD project, save it, then close it...then "Share" to iDVD from iMovie, the correct iDVD project will open. (the last iDVD project open).
    Anyway, it seems that there is a way to accomplish what I need, so I'll go with the former method. I will mess with it further after I get done burning the several copies of this project that I need. (wedding video as a surprise for family members;)
    Thanks for your advice!

  • Unable to load previous iDVD projects

    Hi all I know this has been mentioned before but I cant find any threads with a positive outcome! Im unable to open previous iDVD projects now I have installed '08.
    Help anyone...?

    Let's try this first:
    Quit iDVD.
    Locate a file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and get rid of it. iDVD will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permission repair using the Disk Utility.
    The files can be found here:
    -->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist
    or you can use the finder (happy face on the dock) to copy and paste the bold type above.
    Make sure to Restart the computer as well once the above has been performed. Hope this helps but if not, come on back.

  • I updated to Mavericks and a bunch of my info deleted.  I tried opening a previous iDVD I made, but when I click on it, it says to look for themes.  How do I get my movie to work?  Thanks.

    I updated to Mavericks and a bunch of my info deleted.  I tried opening a previous iDVD I made, but when I click on it, it says to look for themes.  How do I get my movie to work?  Thanks.

    Did you do an erase and install of Mavericks?  If not look in the HD/Library/Application Support folder for an iDVD folder.  There should be a Themes folder in it. If it's not there look in your Home/Library/Applications Suport folder for the iDVD folder.
    NOTE: In Mavericks, 10.9,  the Home Library is invisible so go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring up this window:
    Select Show Library Folder.  Now you can check to see if the iDVD folder in there.
    If you find the iDVD folder launch iDVD, go to its Advanced preference pane and point iDVD to the Themes folder:
    If you can't find the Themes folder you'll need to reinstall iDVD from the source you installed it from originally, i.e. the disks that came with your Mac or an iLife 09 or 11 disk.

  • Firefox will not open my previous session

    Firefox 4 will not open any previous session once I shut down. I can have say 5 tabs open, close firefox, and reopen it and the session was saved. If I have those same 5 tabs open and shut down, then turn on my computer the next day, I can click on firefox, it will highlight the icon, and the highlight will disappear after about 5 seconds, and then I have to click it again, and it will open a totally new session. How do I fix this?

    Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed.

  • Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. Any help?

    Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. The reports of the app unexpectedly closing each time, automatically went to Apple, but I am not sure what happens with them then. Does anyone know how to help me with this? We live in a very isolated region so rely on internet help. Thanks

    I also managed to read a few other discussions about Pages and files not being able to open. I actually went to the last back-up and restored the computer from that and everything seemed to work ok again, which is great!...advice from another discussion I think you may have been involved in PeterB. Thanks for the advice...also this advice, as I will make a note of trying to open using the Shift key if it happens again and see what happens...might be an easier first option than restoring from a back-up. Thans heaps for the help!
    I was interested to read some of the other discussions where it was stated that Pages '09 seems to be a better option to use. I have both installed, so I will lkeep this in mind. Thanks heaps!

  • Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

    Hi,
    Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
    I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
    So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
    Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
    Please help!

  • Why can I not open some attached emailed pdf files?

    PLEASE HELP ME! I HAVE TO OPEN THESE FILES MY BUSINESS DEPENDS ON IT! why can I not open some attached pdf files and others are ok?

    PDF files are extremely reliable. You may have a software issue. I have the problem on 2 identical systems with the exact same specs. The problem occurs at the same exact interval. It may be a windows update. We have had to re-install software form the DVD in each instance. This fixes it for awhile and then it recoccurs. Adobe acts as if they have never heard of the problem...imagine that. I'm the only one with th problem.
    This is happens with CS6 volume lic product.
    If you dont own Adobe product it will be even more difficult to find and answer as the reader is used my so many people.
    We know we have the problem again when we double click opn a PDF and nothing happens. SOme have reported that reloading does not fix the problem.
    Wish I could help you. I am looking for answers to this issue right now and phone support is a 30 minute wait.
    Very frustrating.
