HT1338 How do I prevent iDVD 7.1.2 from shutting down every time I try to create a new project?

Every time I try to create a new project on iDVD, the program shuts down with one of those "unexpected error" messages. This just started a few days ago, and was working fine prior to this.

Try this basic troubleshooting fix :
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents of IDVD'S cache folder, User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD. 
3 - launch IDVD and try again.

  • Why is my iMovie shutting down every time I try to share it to iDVD? Help I am new to the Apple world

    Why is my iMovie shutting down everytime I try to share it to iDVD? Help I am new to the Apple world, what am I doing wrong? I have already shared 2 iMovies but this 3rd one is giving me trouble!

    Hi
    First
    • How much free space is there on Your Start-Up Hard Disk ?
    If less than 25Gb - then iDVD will get a hard task as iDVD and Mac OS needs this space for it's pref files (can't be easily addressed to other hard disk)
    Then
    • I do not use "Share to iDVD" - but - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD or other resolution)
    If still problem - then
    • Material used in iMovie can be the problem maker eg .mp3 audio and .avi, .wmv/a files etc.

  • How do I insert a clip into my Primary Storyline?  Every time I try to insert a clip the way instructions say, it goes into the title storyline (at top) instead.

    I have been unable to find out how to select the storyline where I want a clip inserted.  Every time I try to insert a clip at the beginning of my project, it goes into the Title Storyline, not my primary one.

    What does the instruction say? Are you pressing the Insert button? Are you using the W key? Are you tryin to drag into the storyline?
    If you have a secondary storyline, make sure it's not selected when you do the edit.

    How will have an option to create an icloud id

    Hello there, vishal274.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a great FAQ that provides some great answers to some of the more common questions about iCloud, including yours:
    Creating an iCloud account: Frequently Asked Questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4436
    How do I sign up for iCloud?
    You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.
    You may need to verify the email address that you use for your Apple ID. See Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID for more information.
    I had a free Find My iPhone account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
    Update the devices that you use with Find My iPhone to iOS 5 (iOS 6 recommended). When you're asked to enter an Apple ID during setup, enter the Apple ID you were using for Free Find My iPhone. Your account will be automatically updated to iCloud.
    I had a MobileMe account. How do I sign up for iCloud?
    To use your MobileMe account for iCloud, follow the iCloud setup instructions and enter your @me.com or @mac.com email address as your Apple ID. If you had an @me.com address, it will be reactivated for email when you sign up for iCloud. If you had an @mac.com address, it won't be reactivated for email, but you can set up a new @icloud.com email address to use with iCloud.
    Important: You will need a verified email address associated with your @me.com or @mac.com Apple ID to set up iCloud. To add a verified email address, go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), sign in with your @me.com or @mac.com email address, and add a valid email address to your account.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Firefox opens the old browsing window (previous session) every time i try and open a new window, how do I change this back?

    Every time I go to open a new window, the old one will come up instead. For a while it was working fine, then I kept needing the old window and would use the 'restore previous session' feature to access this. However, even after I didn't need it anymore (and without me selecting the feature, it would still open the previous session.

    Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" "Show a blank page"
    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • For some reason every time i try to open a new tab the only way i can open one is by right clicking a link and clicking open in new tab, does anyone know why this is and how i can fix it?

    i've tried CTRL + T, clicking the + sign in the tab bar, and going to file + new tab. nothing has worked

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

  • How do I stop the Plugin Status screen from coming up every time I open Firefox?

    I get a screen asking me to update or delete a list of plug ins. I don't want to see this every time I open Firefox.

    Updating your Plugin programs would get rid of that "nag" page when you open Firefox.
    Both Java and Flash received updates this past week.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''

  • I have an iPad mini retior new messagna. How do I stop iCloud from asking ID every time I press icons to write new message/reply. This only started 3 days ago  and is really annoying. I have tried most things apart from reset.

    I Have an iPad mini ios 8.02 with retina screen from 3 days ago email asks for iCloud ID every time I press icon for new message/reply. Although I can press cancel and still write message. This is most annoyin. Any solutions

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,
    Melissa

    hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].
