Can't open iDVD v7 from iLife 08 on Lion?  Please help

I just got a new iMac pre loaded with Lion.  I had iLife 08 on my old 2008 MacBook Pro.  I did a custom install with the iLife disk and only installed iDVD.  It placed it in the application folder but when i try to open it i get an error message saying I cant use this version on MAC OS X.  Then it says i have version 7, which i thought was the latest version.  Is it possible to have idvd on this iMac?

Roxio Toast is great, it allows you to burn DVD's in standard definition and in high definition. However, it is also very bare bones... Many of the features that you may like in iDVD, are missing in Roxio Toast.
The following developers make some very good iDVD alternatives...

  • HT2518 I can't open MOV. files on my new mac, please help

    Hi I'm new to mac's and I love my new toy, but I'm having a little problem with transferring my video's from my old PC. I've tried manually transferring my mov. files from my PC hard drive to my mac. All the videos used to open up on the PC with Quick Time, now when I try to open them up on the mac it says QT can't open this type of file? Any ideas please

    You should download VLC and try viewing the .mov file with it - for troubleshooting.

  • I can't connect to itunes from my ipad. Please help!!!

    I can't connect to itunes from ipad! Please help.

    See if any if these suggestions get you connected again.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again. You may have to experiment with the date a little bit... A year ahead, a few months ahead ....
    Or ....Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or ....If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

  • Can't open files in Photoshop CS3...Please Help!!

    So last night I was downloading some pictures off my CF cards and apparently I have way too many pictures on my pc and it's full! So I stopped downloading and started deleting!
    But while I was doing that, I tried to open some images in photoshop and it just freezes up. The dialog box pops up for a brief second when I try to open the image and then it just disappears. Then I can't click on anything. I have to "ctrl-alt-del" to even shut photoshop down. Does any one know what's up or how I can fix it?
    I'm using CS3 and windows xp if that matters...
    I have two drives. The drive that I have photoshop on has 184GB left on it...so plenty of space. The other drive...the one I store photos on...only has 32GB left.
    I deleted a bunch of photos (need to go buy more DVD's to back up so I can delete more), uninstalled photoshop, cleaned up both hard drives, re-installed photoshop....and it's still doing the same thing. I don't know what else to do....

    Cyndi -
    I would start with the easiest thing Archive the preference file to your desktop then we can continue from there if that doesnt work.
    - Close PS
    - Type this into your run menu
    %appdata%/adobe/adobe photoshop cs3/
    - Now drag the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings folder onto your desktop
    - Keep the adobe folder window open
    - Launch PS
    - If this works then there was something corrupted in the preferences somewhere
    - If this doesnt work then delete the newly created preference folder from the adobe folder and drag the one from your desktop back into the adobe folder.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can't open print to go !!! please help

    Wrong Parameters
    To use Print To Go, you must open an application, then select Print To Go as your printer.
    "can anyone tell me how to solve this problem"

    It's what it says really.
    Try opening up a Word document. Then go File > Print. BUT instead of selecting your printer at home, you should see a printer called 'Print to Go'.
    Select it and Print. The Word document should then be 'printed' to your PlayBook.

  • Updating to iOS 5 wiped my ipod clean, can't find the backup from the update. Please help!

    So I updated my ipod touch 4th generation on my old Windows Vista computer. It's been the same iTunes computer that I used to sync with when I first bought the device when it came out. I wiped the old backups inside iTunes before updating because it was taking space. While updating it was backing up my iPod. But then when it finished updating and said I was at iOS 5, it didn't restore my iPod touch. I went into the mobile sync>backup folder in my app data but couldn't find the backup from the update. Apparently iTunes doesn't save the backup from the update. I had 20gb's of my apps on the iPod. I know that I can download back the apps because of iCloud. However, I lost all my photos, notes, contacts, and all the app data in the 140+ apps that were in there. I am pretty sure there is no solution for this problem but I'm just putting it out there. This is my last sliver of hope.

    hello, i have the same problem as you, did you back up before iOS 5? so, you your situation is, that you have an empty, iOS 5 ipod, with the apps, but no game data, no notes, contacts, photos etc. ? ive got the same problem, did any of your apps disappear by any chance? if you backed up before update, use that, if not, i suggest restore to the oldest back up you have, but the newest back up you had before iOS 5, its better than an emptry ipod, hope i helped.

  • Can I install iDVD (only) from an iLife 11 CD on a new (late 2011) on-line MacBook Pro/Lion purchase that no longer included it?

    Can I install iDVD (only) from an iLife 11 CD on a new (late 2011) on-line MacBook Pro/Lion purchase that no longer included it?

    Purchasing iLife 11 on disk is an easy thing to do. ILife 11 will include iDVD.
    If you have iDVD on another Macintosh you can transfer it to your new computer. That procedure has been discussed here many times, if you do a search you will find that procedure.

  • Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

    For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
    Please help.

    It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.

  • I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

    I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
    Håkan

    Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
    After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

    Can't open web addresses from an email-get an ERROR message saying-no application could be found

    Hi, I had the same problem. I finally figured it out. Plug in the USB cord to your ipad, but beofre plugging it into your computer make sure your ipad is not in the locked or sleep mode. Once I did this, my photos showed up and started downloading. Hope that helps you!

  • How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
    Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
    and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
    Many thanks!

    I had to install adobe reader, but   PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?
    Windows 8.1 pro.
    thx
