How do i get idvd onto my iMac

How do i get iDVD on to my mac

The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that in reality not all users do, has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD. Also, of course, there is Roxio Toast.

  • How do I get iDVD onto my new iMac from my Macbook?

    I have iDVD on my MacBook from 2009, but the iMac I just bought in July 2011 did not come with iDVD.  Is there a way to legally get iDVD onto my iMac without buying it, since I already own it on my other Mac?

    If you have the disks that came with your 2009 MacBook you can try using Pacifist Pacifist on the iMac to extract and install iDVD from that disk onto the iMac.  Then remove iDVD from the MacBook for legality sake.
    Otherwise you will need to purchase a copy of iLife 11 (boxed version) from the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of this page).  Since iDVD has been discontinued it would be a good idea to get a copy of iLife 11 while it is still available. That would simplify installing iDVD (or iWeb) at a later date if ever need be.

  • How do I get FCPX onto my second iMac

    Hi to all,
    Recently purchased FCPX from the app store, downloaded fine onto my primary iMac, but how do I get it onto my second (backup) iMac? My understanding is that I can have it on more than one computer?
    When I go into my iTunes account information it shows as being purchased but it does not show in "purchased Apps" to download again, am I missing something here?
    Many thanks

    Hi blimpmedia, thanks for the response! Your suggestion was 100% correct but I could not work out why it would not work on my 2nd Mac. After spending about 40 minutes on hold with Apple Support I discovered that the version of OSX that I had on the 2nd computer (6.1.1) was not compatible with the latest App Store page view.
    I have now downloaded the OSX update, the App Store page is now providing me the "download" option and is downloading FCPX it as I write this!
    Many thanks, and I hope that this helps other FCPX buyers too, as this seems to be a common issue out there.

  • How do i get icloud onto my mac os x version 10.6.3

    how do I get icloud onto my mac os x version 10.6.3?

    You need 10.7.5 or later for iCloud.
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    A. Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    B. Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

    Since Apple has stopped supporting and offering iDVD you'll need to purchase the iLIfe 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 which will include iDVD 7.

  • How do i get iDVD on my macbook pro?

    How do i get iDVD on my macbook pro?  I cant find iDVD in the search box or in finer.  Why would the macbook install imovie without installing iDVD too?  I need to burn my video off of iMovie so i need iDVD to do that for me.  Ive tried downloading iDVD for free on websites but it didnt work, it's not compatible. I searched th eapp store whish is on the macbook but all it has is ilife'11 which only has iPhoto, iMovie, and Garageband but no iDVD.  I don't know what else to do.  I cant find IDVD anywhere.

    howdy,
    You have to buy the whole package from apple.com.
    Notice iWeb also missing.
    Rumor that individual "titles" will be available but no more revs. Product about to go to ga ga (Lady GaGa?) land not to return
    N.B. iDVD and iWeb not revised in latest offering.
    Let 'er rip and...
    cheers

  • How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro?

    How can I get Minecraft onto my Macbook Pro? It is 15 inch Retina display, and it is Version 10.9.1 . I download the game, log in and press play, but as soon as it finishes loading, the blue bar goes away and nothing else happens!
    It goes from this:
    To this:
    And on the development console it says this:

    Hello EpicEmma,
    I just had this problem today!, but i have a SOLUTION ,
    right click the finder icon and click "go to folder"
    type : "~Library/ Application Support
    Find the minecraft folder, Backup your Saves, (drag the saves folder onto the desktop) *OPTIONAL*
    delete the minecraft folder, not the application.
    Open the minecraft Launcher (it will take a while to start up)
    Put in login info and when its loaded up, press "play"
    The blue bar will take a minute or two...
    And then... it should start normally
    U dont need to repeat the steps every time u open Minecraft. You can later replace the saves folder with the new one back to where it was whenever you want at the same place where it used to be before. Hope this helped!

  • How do i get icloud onto my mac

    On my system preferences I have a MobileMe symbol but no icloud. My ipad and iphone are in sync with each other but calendar events from these are not transferring to my computer. I suspect this is because icloud is the missing link on my mac. I am running Mac 0s X version 10.6.8 is this the problem? How do I get icloud onto my PC or is it a software update issue?

    To run icloud on your mac you'll need to upgrade to at least Lion, but preferably Mountain Lion.  You can purchase and download Mountain Lion in the App Store.  If your system will not run Mountain Lion, but will run Lion, you'll have to call AppleCare to order a redemption code for it, to be used in the App Store.
    Before upgrading, be sure your currently important software will run on the newer OS.  Always do a backup before upgrading.
    You can download the iCloud Control panel off of the apple website for your PC, provided it meets the requirements.  http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html

  • How do I get idvd on my computer? It did not come installed even though I have ilife

    How do I get idvd on my computer? It did not come installed even though I have ilife? Also, no operating system dvd came with my computer. I have had it for 5 months so its quite new.

    iDVD is no longer developed or shipped by Apple. You can purchase an iLife 11 disk (if you can find one) or purchase an alternative DVD authoring app.
    SInce 10.7 should you need to re-install you do so via the Recovery partition and/or the App Store.
