I can not find Idvd on my iMac, and I have Apple USB super drive

Where can I get IDVD from, I can find updates but not the original file. I bought my iMac last year with the Superdrive but was never given the IDVD programme

If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

    Firefox does not allow me to highlight html documents when on line and then copy and paste

  • I bought a HD and the Itunes Stores say that the movie (Pretty Women) has Itunes Extras. Why I can not find it? It is a mistake from Apple? What happen if I buy the movie because the Extras and now I can not watch it? I have an Ipad last generation.

    I bought a HD and the Itunes Stores say that the movie (Pretty Women) has Itunes Extras. Why I can not find it? It is a mistake from Apple? What happen if I buy the movie because the Extras and now I can not watch it? I have an Ipad last generation.

    What version of iOS do you have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Version), and is it connected to wifi ?
    From Buy and play movies with iTunes Extras - Apple Support :
    Here’s what you need to stream the new iTunes Extras:
    Mac using OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 or later and iTunes 11.3 or later
    PC using iTunes 11.3 or later
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation or later) using Apple TV software 6.2 or later
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 8 or later (You need to connect to Wi-Fi. Extras won't appear if you're connected to a cellular network.)
    An active Internet connection
    You can use the steps below on your Apple TV, Mac, PC, or iOS device for any purchased, HD movie that features Extras:
    On your Apple TV, select Movies, then select your movie to see the Extras menu. Extras aren't available from the Computer tile on Apple TV (Home Sharing).
    On your Mac or PC, open iTunes and go to the Movies section in your iTunes library. Double-click your movie. If there's no Internet connection, the Extras menu will be skipped. The movie will immediately play if you already downloaded it.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the Videos app, then tap your movie. If you're connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, the Extras menu will appear.

  • I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?

    A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
    "...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it."  Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct  25 2013.
    If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
    You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • I can't find iDVD on my computer, and I need to burn a movie onto a disk. Help?

    I can't find iDVD on my computer. I need to burn a movie onto a disk, and I need it quickly. Can someone help me? I've searched for iDVD in applications, but it's not there.

    iDVD is no longer supported by Apple and does not come pre-loaded on new Macs.
    If your computer did not come with iDVD and iWeb preinstalled, you can ask Apple for a free copy here:
       http://www.apple.com/feedback/idvd.html
    Alternatively, you can purchase a boxed version of iLife '11 from Apple, Amazone, etc. Boxed versions come with iDVD and iWeb still on the disk.

  • Qosmio G30: I can not find Linux drivers for Bluetooth and TV Tuner

    I have the Qosmio Q30 HD-DVD(PQG32) running on Ubuntu Linux. My Problem is I can not find drivers for Bluetooth and TV Tuner.
    Does Toshiba support Linux? If yes when I find it?

    TV tunner, forget it there is'nt a Linix driver for it yet.
    Bluetooth NO PROBLEM
    First turn on your wireless card.
    2nd runn the command toshutils -b I think
    toshutils is a support program for toshiba laptops.
    you also need to have the bluetooth drivers loaded on your machine.
    If everything is working correctly a little B bluetooth logo will appear on the top toolbar

  • I made a movie using iMovie. I went to share and selected idvd. It processed the movie,but nothing happened. The tutorial shows icon on bar,but I can not find idvd. What am I doing wrong?processed

    I made a movie in imovie. I went to shate and selected iDVD. It processsed the movie for about 5 min. When it finished I did not have the icon at the bottom of screen like the tutorial displayed. How do I find iDVD?

    Check in your Applications folder to see if you have the iDVD application there? 
    Do you have a new Mac that came with Lion preinstalled?  If so you won't have iDVD nor iWeb.  Apple has discontinued iDVD and iWeb and is no longer selling them.
    In that case you'll have to purchase the boxed iLife 11 disc from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: iLife 11.
    Also it's best to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu opiton in iMovie and then add the movie from the Media Browser in iDVD to the iDVD project.  It provides a better qualtiy movie to iDVD. 
    Also follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.

  • Can not find a table in DBA_TAB_PRIVS and ROLE_TAB_PRIVS

    I get a table 'KNA1', a table of SAP R3 ERP application, and tried to find out all privileges granted to 'KNA1'. Using the SQL statement below, I am sure 'KNA1' is existing.
    SQL> SELECT * FROM DBA_OBJECTS WHERE OBJECT_NAME = 'KNA1';
    OWNER
    OBJECT_NAME
    SUBOBJECT_NAME OBJECT_ID DATA_OBJECT_ID OBJECT_TYPE
    CREATED LAST_DDL_ TIMESTAMP STATUS T G S
    SAPR3
    KNA1
    7480 7480 TABLE
    30-JUL-02 30-JUL-02 2002-07-30:15:26:22 VALID N N N
    However, when I tried to find 'KNA1' in 'DBA_TAB_PRIVS' and 'ROLE_TAB_PRIVS', the result is 'no rows selected'.
    SQL> SELECT * FROM SYS.DBA_TAB_PRIVS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'KNA1';
    no rows selected
    SQL> SELECT * FROM ROLE_TAB_PRIVS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'KNA1';
    no rows selected
    SQL> SELECT * FROM SYS.ROLE_TAB_PRIVS WHERE TABLE_NAME = 'KNA1';
    no rows selected
    Dose that answer mean 'KNA1' did not be granted to any user or role?
    If it is true, why can I still use KNA1 wtihout any problem?
    If it is not true, where can I find the privileges information related to 'KNA1'?
    Thanks a lot.

    Yes, I have, I use 'SYS', with DBA role, to login Oracle. thanks for ur response, but could u please say more, because I can not get ur point. thank you.

  • It appears that I can not share documents between my iMacs and mac air without first opening document in an IOS device.  Is this correct?  If so then iCloud for me is a giant step backward especially since idisk will be discontinued next year.

    It appears that I cannot share documents between my iMacs and and Mac air using icloud without first opening document in and IOS device.  Is this true.  If so, then icould is petty much worthless for me, especially since idisk will be discontinued next year.

    You are correct.  However, a document can not be opened by another computer unless the document has first been open by an iDevice.
    iwork on iOS uses different file formats ( *.tef ) then iwork09 on Mac ( *.key , *. number , *.page ).
    Uploaded documents to icloud.com must first be updated to the *.tef format and then re-written to the cloud system. The online service behind the iwork web-app does the re-conversion to Mac formats, pdf or Microsoft office. All that is happening "in the cloud", not on your Mac as he misses the engine to do the transcoding from the *.tef to the other formats. Mac simply does not know what *.tef is.
