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

  • 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

    Hi
    What You've made is a Data-DVD - Not a Video-DVD - Altough it looks like one
    no DVD-player will identify it as one.
    If You put DVD on Desktop and drop files and folders into it -
    • it will burn out as a Data-DVD
    If You burn from within iDVD or select a DiskImage via Disk Util tool and then burn out from within Disk Util tool -
    • You'll get a Video-DVD

  • Cant open itunes. get error message 7 followed by error message windows error 127.     i have redownloaded new updates with luck.   window xp

    cant open itunes. get error message 7 followed by error message windows error 127.     i have redownloaded new updates with luck.   window xp

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Hi, I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. Any suggestions please?

    Hi, I reecntly purchased a Mac and the Pages App. But now I find that I cant open a document I have been working on. It has previously been saved without a problem now all I get is a box stating that the file cannot be opened. It is visible in both the Pages Windows and under Recent Items but just will not open. Any suggestions please?

    Hi Colourdoodles,
    Maybe the document is corrupted. Can you open other Pages documents? Preview may open it. Right click (or control click) on the document in Finder and Open With > Preview.
    If that works, Edit > Select All, Edit > Copy. Then paste into a blank Pages document. Formatting may be messed up, but you will have editable text. Then Save (with a different name), close and see if you can open the new document.
    Regards,

  • Cant Open System Preferences, when i double click the icon it opnes up and then after a second it disappears

    Hi new as a mac user...ok so how come i cant open my "System Preferences" and my "hard disk icon" is missing from my desktop? and im seeing question marks on my icons, namely the "download" icon and the "documents" icon? i need help :/
    i tried opening the system preferences from the uper left corner of my desktop but to no avail. and i cant really reinstall the OS because macbook air doesnt have a disk drive and my MBA is early 2008 so it doesnt have the USB thingy that the latest MBA has.
    i was thinking maybe because i changed a couple of things in the "sharing preferences" i have no idea i need help any suggestions?

    I'm also using Windows 7 on a Lenovo U310 laptop.

    Did you ever verify the primary email address associated with her iCloud ID?  Apple should have sent a verification email like the one below to the email address that was used to set up the iCloud account.  You need to click the Verify Now link in the email to verify the address. 
    Make sure you are check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • All of a sudden my itunes wont come up when i hit the desktop icon. un and re installed many times, tried new users, it finally gave me "you need to reinstall sqmapi.dll " im a noob and i have know idea what that is or where i can get it. i cant open any

    all of a sudden my itunes wont come up when i hit the desktop icon. un and re installed many times, tried new users, it finally gave me "you need to reinstall sqmapi.dll " im a noob and i have know idea what that is or where i can get it. i cant open any file or library that has anything to do with itunes except safari and quicktime are fine. im about to pull out whats left of my hair.

    Okay, that's got one thing ruled out at least.
    Can you check something for me, big? I'd like to see if iTunes launches with the Bonjour Service disabled.
    In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
    In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
    ... and click OK.
    Restart the PC and try launching iTunes. Does it open this time?
