Cant open iDVD project or even a new project! So mad about to go to Windows

Hello,
I can't open iDVD as a saved project and I can't even go to the window pane that allows me to start a new project because if I open it from the Apps folder, it just opens my last saved project - which doesn't open. Basically it gets stuck and doesn't load the content and beachballs forever.
I just got past an issue with a bad audio file and couldn't burn it to DVD - I deleted all the audio and reloaded the full songs, then burned a disc image to make sure it worked fine (needless to say, when I double-clicked the disc image, it didn't start up in DVD Player like the "great" instructions say). But now, I can't even open iDVD to do anything about it...this is extremely frustrating and Apple support on the phone does nothing, except ask for $199 for a tech to work with you (are you kidding me?!?!!? I paid $2000 for this freaking machine...I'm close to saying a Windows machine is more reliable...but I won't say that)
Anyway, any suggestions? thank you!
Chris

Hi, I got through most of the burning process - however, it "encountered errors" and didn't finish my burn!!! See below for what the info was:
"Errors were found during the burning process:
The recording device reported the illegal request: Buffer underrun. (0x21, 0x02.)
There was a problem during multiplexing/burning."
What does that mean and why can't I burn this project!?!!
Thanks
Chris

Urgent: i cant open my project!

i re-installed Leopard then installed FCP, and when i wanted to open my project which i have on an external drive, i get this message: "File's format is too new for this version of the application"
and i cant open the project...
i need help! a month of work is in the project!!

thanx man.. the problem is gone. i had some issues updating it though. the problem was that i like to put all the FCP studio apps in one folder inside the application folder, so it seems that the software update manager couldn't detect FCP. i had to get them out of the folder back into the application folder. it took my time to figure it out, but the problem is solved.
thanx!

What version of Final Cut Pro do you currently have?
Look in the Finder or at the FCP startup screen to find out.

Cant open iMovie projects

Help!! everytime i try to open an iMovie project it doesn't work. After i try to create an DVD , exporting to iDVD the following message appears: "The project could not be opened, because the folder is locked, or the folder permissions are incorrect". I checked the folder's permission and they are not locked. I cant figure out , what´s the problem. Does anyone know the solution to this? Thank you and forgive my english.

It's not clear to me whether the iMovie project has trouble opening or the iDVD project.
If iMovie complains about a permissions problem when you try to open the iMovie project, the problem can be fixed by re-building the project folders.
This workaround is for this error message in iMovie 4: "The project could not be opened, because the folder is locked, or the folder permission are incorrect. If the project is on a CD-ROM, network server, or locked disk, then copy it to your hard drive before opening it. If the project is already on your hard disk, then you may not have permission to modify that folder. Correct the folder permissions and try again."
Here's how to replace the current project folder with a new one in iMovie 4:
1. In Finder, create a new folder anywhere OTHER THAN inside the old project folder. Name the new folder "Replacement" or something.
2. Create a new folder inside the Replacement folder. Name it "Media".
3. Open the Media folder of the iMovie project, then choose Edit>Select All.
4. Drag all the selected files to the new Media folder.
5. Drag the files inside the iMovie project folder to the Replacement folder.
6. Repeat #2 through #4 for any other folders in the project folder.
You now have a new project folder named Replacement that contains all the files from the original project. Double-click the project file inside Replacement. If the project opens successfully, quit iMovie, rename Replacement to give it the name of your project, and you're done.
If it doesn't open successfully, move the project.mov file that's inside Replacement to some other folder and try again.

Can iDVD 09 open and work with an iDVD project i made in 06?

I am bringing over my iMovie 06 and iDVD projects over to new mac with iDVD 09. I took out iMovie 09 and resinstalled 06HD. The iMovie 06 files now open ok, but not the iDVD 06 projects, when I try to open them with iDVD 09. Should I remove iDVD 09 and install iDVD 06.
I heard that iMovie 06 files will import ok into iDVD 09, but now assuming that the iDVD 06 projects themselves will not open in the newer program.

i uninstalled iDVD 09 and installed iDVD 06 to see if I could open the G4's old iDVD projects.
Error message says iDVD 06 will not work with this OS. What gives? Apparently iMovie HD06 will work, as far as I can tell, with just a few tests.
What CAN I DO HERE to bring over my iDVD 06 projects so I can work them on Snow Leopard?
Luckily the dvd projects are not many and not complex. But there are so many issues with all of this. I might as well have a computer that knows only Chinese characters. I got the new mac so my video work wouldnt clog up on the old G4. But this is beyond clog. This is cement, stuck at the starting gate.

Error message opening iDVD project

Need some help figuring this out. I have completed my first DVD project. It is a simple slideshow of a recent trip. I made an image yesterday and it played OK and its 625 MG.
I decided to burn it to my LaCie external burner today, but I can't even open the project. I get the following message: Connection Failed: This file server is running on your machine. Please access the volumes and files locally.
I've tried opening the project by clicking on it or through iDVD and get the same results. I've restarted my Mac. I've always been able to open the project previously as I worked on it.
Your advice to solve this problem would be invaluable. Thanks!

Where are your images stored? Where is the iDVD project stored? How does a 'file server' come into play? What is on the network?
I think you've hit on the problem if I'm understanding. The images and the project are stored on my computer. However, when I first tried burning this project about a month ago, I had an error message (can't recall what it was). I decided after that incident that my processor was too slow (700 MHz Power PC G4).
I decided I would use our iMacG5 which has a faster burner so I used our network to transfer the project to the iMac from my eMac. The image I had created played well but I started having problems when I wanted to open the project and burn the DVD. For one thing, the iMac only has iDVD 4. I could see that this wasn't going to work so I went back to the eMac.
Is there any way to salvage all my work. I really don't want to start over.
When you create an iDVD 6 project, the assets you used remain in their original location - if ANYTHING changes , you have a problem.
The photos I used are still in iPhoto and the original project is still on my hard drive. Do you need any other information?

Cant delete IDVD project?

Created large movie 45 min in imovie burned through IDVD. I deleted the Imovie file. Now when I click on IDVD icon a box appears stating- missing files.
users/kellybuechlein/movies/mygreat1./shavid - when I hit cancel it gives me the idvd theme of project. I try to enter and it states- broken link. I exit out and then I can get to other saved idvd projects. All I want is for this old project to be gone. I cant drag this idvd theme into trash or delete it. I want to be able to click on idvd icon and see existing projects instead of going through above hassle. txs

thanks!! That fixed my problem. i am new to mac and still trying to figure out
applications and documents. I guess I thought I deleted the file when I deleted Imovie project.
txs,

Cant open idvd

every time i try to open idvd, i get a mess. saying that it cant find the media file. "find" or "cancel"
nothing happens when i click either
is there a way to just open idvd with it trying to open an old project

Try this:
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

Can't open iDVD project

Help needed
I had account for my niece and she was playing with iDVD creating her own projects. After I have reinstalled everything, I created account for her with different name and none of her projects open anymore!
The error is "Project locked by other user"
How I can open it?
Thanks.

Hi Ramerez:
There is a file called Project.lock in the iDVD Project bundle that is preventing you from opening the project.
You can delete it by right clicking (Control/click)on your DVD project and selecting "Show Package Contents".
Go to the Contents/Resources folder and drag the project.lock file to the trash.
I think it will open now.
:)Sue

Cant open hotmail e-mail on my new imac

I just bought a imac, and i cant seem to figure out why I cant open e-mails in my hotmail account?

I had the same problem and here is how I fixed it.
I had traveled out of town (away from my ISP) and just now found out that when I travel away from my ISP I need to do the following:
Go to mail preferences, click on accounts, go to outgoing mail service and click on that and edit the smtp server and click on the advanced tab. Click on use custom port and put in 587. Under authentication click on password. Now this should work the mail sending when you are away from your area (mine is roadrunner).
Now, if you are home, you should do the above, but in the custom port put 25 and under authentication click on none.
This fixed my problem. Hope it helps you.

I cannot enter my account, even after new password is made, why??

After new password is made, I can only go to theaccount online, not on my desktop, WHY????

Hi, I have the same problem. After the last update it is asking me to sign up. Ok, I renewed my password and I can nicely log in into the web skype and into the skype on my mobile phone, but it does not work in the desktop skype. It always says that I am already signed in, but I do not know how to sign out. Should I contact the support? Thanks!
