HT1338 iDVD will not update

My iDVD will not update I have been trying to for last three months

Have you tried with this download link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1414
I'm surprised you wouldn't have 7.1.2 already since it came out last year. There were some problems with iDVD during early Lion iterations last year and I sent in many bug reports - Apple responded and fixed them all and I haven't had a problem using it since. It does occasionally throw a little fit such as not wanting to recognize some audio I want to use in the menu instead of the default, but will work in the end.
If that update does not work - how did you install iDVD in the first place? If you have iLife retail disks, I'd suggest deleting what you have and reinstalling, then updating to the latest version. That's what I've been doing - I actually start with iLife 08 (needed for the install of the old iMovie HD 6 which I prefer to work with), install iMovie HD, then go to iLife 09, and finally to iLife 11 (with updates in between).

  • HT1338 Pages will not update on my mac!!

    Pages will not update and because of that I cannot open pages files

    It sounds like you already have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • HT1338 my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update.  It crashes every time I try to do an update.  I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple.

    my MAc Book PRO 13" Retina display will not update.  It crashes every time I try to do an update.  I have sent in the information on each update but so far nothing back from Apple.  Also it does not matter what I am trying to update, the operating system, and application, each caused the same crash.   This mac book is less than a month old.

    That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed).  Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

  • HT1338 I have OS X 10.6.8 on my mac and have just downloaded 10.7.4 (needed for imovie 11) but it will not update.

    I have OS X 10.6.8 on my mac and have just downloaded 10.7.4 (needed for imovie 11) but it will not update. What has happened to the downloaded update?

    When you downloaded Lion from the Appstore (and paid 29$) you have 10.7.4.
    After the download you will find it in the Applications folder: that is the installer ! The installer vanishes when used, thus if you want to make an installer disk (to avoid a later redownload), you should do it before you run this installer. You can use "Lion Diskmaker" for that (use a 8GB USB stick), http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39701/lion-diskmaker/

  • HT1338 My iPhone 4S will not update it's been saying error for the longest. Is there something wrong ?

  • HT1338 Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

    Final Cut Pro will not update after new os and compressor will not run until the update is done. System shows no updates available

    Sorry for being unclear.
    When I am using the update in the App Store App, there will be a list of various applications that have updates to be installed (Final Cut Pro will be in this list).  I will already be logged in with the Apple ID I use for everything (my dev account).  I will be able to update all of the other various applications needing updating except for my Final Cut Pro.  When I click the update button next to the FCP update, it will give me an error saying  "This download is not available for this apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled"
    I have not had any applications refunded or cancelled and this has only happened since my update to Yosemite.  FCP was working fine until the upgrade.  Is there anything that can be done to fix this?

    If you're running Tiger on a MacBook(this is true for some MacBook Pros too), your system is incapable of running Mountain Lion.

  • HT1338 MacBook pro will not update past 10.5.8

    What can I do if my MacBook pro will not update past OS X 10.5.8
    When I check for software updates, it says there are no updates and it is up to date.

    OS X 10.5.8 is the last update for that version. If you need to go to a OS X 10.6 then you are going to have to purchased a DVD for the upgrade.

  • Idvd will not burn after upgrade to maverick

    Hello-
    I just upgraded to maverick and now iDVD will not burn a DVD - says it does not have a compatible superdrive. It was working fine until I upgraded. How can I burn a nice DVD now?

    Suggestion only. Before launching, did you also check for updates via apple's software updater?

  • Idvd will not quit

    This has been an issue for quit some time now. I am in desperate need for an update on my MacBook Pro, and everytime I allow is to restart my computer, it says it can not be done. This is because iDVD will not quit! i have tried everything! It simply will not quit. Please help!

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut it down from there. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can and use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit loginwindow.

  • IPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers?

    iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open.  So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.

    Maybe. See:

  • HT4623 My iPad will not update to 5 at all. I don't even have the option of software update in settings. I've tried to update over iTunes and it doest work there either.

    My iPad will not update to 5 at all. I don't even have the option of software update in settings. I've tried to update over iTunes and it doest work there either.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • My iPhone 4s iOS 7.0.4 will not update music or apps from iTunes 11.1.3.  this was true of my pc and the new MacPro.

    My iphone 4s ios 7/0/4 will not update music or apps from itunes 11.1.3.  this was true with my pc since ios 7.0.3 even with update 7.0.4 and now continues with my new MacPro also runing itunes 11.1.3.   as most state in previous threads, syncs all non itunes related data with no issue and appears to work correctly on itunes data but then hangs on the last step of updating until it times out.  i have tried marking specific music to transfer, setting up new playlist, deleting some old playlist on phone but stopped short of restoring my phone back to new due to the amount of non itunes data that i will lose.  The itunes setup on the macpro was completely with the download of all music from a previous external backup and the creation of new playlist - on the first sync with existing phone it did ask to overwrite all phone itunes data with macpro itunes data which i did accept - no different result - no changes on phone.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved. 
    If the problem continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Firefox problems - Can't open from Downloads - Can't print - FF will not update and more and more...

    I've been having several problems with Firefox, to the point that I almost can't use it anymore. In no particular order, they include:
    1. When I download something, 'Downloads' opens. When a d/l finishes I used to be able to run an install or open an image from there, but now I get this error message,
    Windows cannot access the specified device, path of file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
    ...but I can go to my Downloads directory and run or open it from there.
    2. If I go to File > Print or File > Print Preview, I get this
    Printing Error:
    "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer. Do you want to install a printer now?"
    and if I click yes, i get this,
    "Operation could not be completed."
    3. Firefox will not update itself. I go to About, it downloads the new update, and I click the Apply Update button. Firefox closes, and nothing happens. A few minutes later I click to run it, and it opens with a 'Software Update' window that says,
    Update Failed
    "The partial update could not be applied. Firefox will try again by downloading a complete Update"
    ...and that does not work.
    I download the new version, and when trying to run it from Downloads, I get the error (as in #1 above):
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path of file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    When I go to the folder it's in and run it from there, it installs, but the problems persist.
    4. I go to Help|Troubleshooting Information, and clicking the Reset Firefox button only closes Firefox. Clicking the Show Folder button doesn't do anything.
    5. I used to be able to drag a url to the desktop, a folder or even a email, but now all I get the the O with a / through it.
    6. I also used to be able to, when I click Browse on a site to upload a jpg or a gif, I could right click the file and open it in a photo viewing program (Irfanview or Paint), and now I get
    "Windows cannot access the specified drive, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
    I've created a new profile and it makes no difference.
    I've disabled all add-ons and it makes no difference (I have to disable them manually).
    The problems are there for different user accounts in Windows.
    I've uninstalled Firefox, and removed the profile - rebooted and reinstalled it, but the problems persist.
    What more do I have to do more to completely uninstall it?
    I've kinda saved myself by using Firefox Portable, which I'm running from it's own directory. It runs as it should, but I'd prefer not to have to use it.
    If i can't fix it, I'd like to completely uninstall Firefox, and just install it new and have it work properly. I have no (or only occasional minor) problems with Firefox on other computers. This computer is Win XP, fully updated

    The post I was responding to said,
    "Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps. "
    Somehow, I think that means Windows...
    I've tried Firefox in Safe Mode - it makes no difference.
