IDVD 08 Suddenly Won't Launch

iDVD launches, but then immediately freezes up. The only way out is to force quit. I've de-installed and re-installed the application twice, but no luck. I've verified and repaired the disk permissions as well, but that didn't help either. All other iLife apps and all other apps in general are working fine. Any ideas?

Hi
Try deleting the pref file - see down
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.

IDVD 7.04 won't launch

iDVD 7.04 won’t launch. When I try I immediately get a window that states “The application iDVD quit unexpectedly…”. Previous to this iDVD would launch, but would hang on creating a new project. I haven’t used this application in over a year.
Any advice?

If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets

ITunes suddenly won't launch

I suddenly can't launch iTunes. I have followed Apple's iTunes uninstall procedure to the letter, restarted my computer and downloaded and reinstalled iTunes, the latest version. It won't even open.
It crashed while I was updating my iPod Touch. I realised it was filing the empty space with music which was going to take too long and clicked off the option. The program suddenly crashed and now won't launch. I removed everything to do with iTunes and reinstalled it several times. Still not working. Are there other files that iTunes uses that are not listed but might be causing the problem? I don't want to have to reinstall the entire operating system and all my programs again just to use iTunes.

Oh yeah... I tried deleting the com.apple.iTunes.plist file. Didn't do anything. Also verified the disk (no issues) and repaired permissions. None of that fixed it...

Lightroom 4.4 suddenly won't launch

been using this program for years. suddenly it won't launch from ANY start location
windows 7 service pack 1
lightoom 4
photoshop CC

So I've had no answers to this problem. I've tried deleting the.plist file - this resulted in a promising couple of screens that confirmed my licence numbers etc. but still the application won't open. I'm beyond frustrated and wonder now is there any actual customer service at Adobe I can contact for assistance.

Acrobat Pro 7 Suddenly Won't launch

I'm trying to print a PDF I made last week, and Acrobat Pro 7 won't launch. I get the standard "The application Acrobat quit unexpectedly." message - no codes like some others I've seen. I'm planning to upgrade to CS4 in January, but I have to get work done NOW!
Any help is appreciated.

My permissions have been repaired. Still not launching, but it does pretend for about 30 seconds before I get them window.
As for preferences, where the heck are they hiding? OS X doesn't make that search easy. I have a lot of preference files related to Adobe, and four for Acrobat. I have removed each one, tried to boot Acrobat, and after failing put the file back.
I'm surprised that there is nothing addressing this item in the knowledgebase.

Fireworks 8 suddenly won't launch

I've been using Fireworks 8 on Vista Home Premium quite
happily until last night. When I tried to launch Fireworks, I
received an Internal Error message telling me that Fireworks was
unable to launch. I rebooted, and had the same problem.
My first thought was that the install had been corrupted, so
I re-installed - same problem.
I then wondered if a recent Windows update may have a
conflict with Fireworks, so I restored the system to a checkpoint
dated previous to when I last successfully used Fireworks - still
have same problem - it just won't launch!!
I don't know what else to try; the only software I have
installed recently has been Google Sketchup 6, and Open Office. I
have searched for a solution online, but I'm yet to find anything
helpful.
Thanks in anticipation of any help!

Try deleting the Fireworks 8 preferences text. On my machine
it's located at

Final Cut Pro 7 suddenly won't launch

I have had this same configuration working for almost 2 years and suddenly, Final Cut Pro 7 won't start.
I have:
Mid 2012 15" Macbook Pro i7 2.3 Quad
8GB Ram
512MB Nvida Graphics card

It gets through asking for hardware setup, then hangs. Under Force Quit it goes to red (Not Responding)
I've done the following:
Trashed preferences manually, then used the Digital Rebellion utility to trash preferences

Re-installed FCP 7. Tried to launch without updating, no go.
Uninstalled again
Re-installed and updated before launch, it will go through profiling for RT, then hangs. Under Force Quit it goes to red (Not Responding)
It was not updated to the latest ProCodec update (1.0.5?) The only thing that I've installed between the last time FCP worked and now was Blackmagic Davinci Lite. Any thoughts?

I'd try uninstalling DaVinci. I

Aperture 3.3.1 suddenly won't launch

My 2009 iMac 21.5" had to be replaced after the hard disk and logic board both suddenly failed. Luckily I had backed up my data recently. I started by migrating data and apps from my 2007 Macbook. Then I updated the Aperture library from the vault on my external hard disk. So far so good with one anomaly, the Aperture trash wouldn't show any files unless I clicked on the individual projects. Other than that it worked OK. BTW I notice that the trash in the Aperture on my Macbook also doesn't show files at the root level of the trash folder. Anway, Aperture was working normally up to maybe a couple of days ago.
Today I tried to open Aperture and it bounces once in the dock and then will not launch. Several restarts did not fix whatever the problem is.
I tried trashing the Aperture application as well as the pref file and application support folder then reinstalling Aperture from the Mac App Store. No luck there. I also tried reinstalling OS 10.7.4 from the combo update and no success. Aperture still bounces once in the dock then... nothing. I noticed in my Library folder that no new Aperture preference file or app support folder have been created.
Things I'm considering doing next:
• Copy the Aperture Library from my Macbook onto the iMac and see if that one opens?
• Copy the Aperature pref file and app support folder from my Macbook onto the iMac?
I'm kind of at a loss for how to proceed so any help would be appreciated!

IDVD '08 suddenly won't open older iDVD projects

All of a sudden, my iDVD projects created with iDVD 06 will not open in iDVD '08.
No changes to the system or software, currently running iDVD 7.0.2.
I've copied older iDVD projects from an external HD to my desktop and tried to open them with iDVD, and iDVD goes unresponsive after about 5 minutes. I've tried opening them directly from the external HD and still no joy.
Ownership and permissions don't seem to be a problem, and the files are not "project locked".
One week ago, this process was working like a charm. (Occasional "project locked" issues, but that's a trivial fix) Now, with absolutely no SW updates or anything, it's hanging up on me.
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, have you solved it?
Thanks in advance!

IDVD 6 suddenly won't open projects

I have burned dvds from this project before, but now when I open Idvd, I can't open any project. The files are in the light grey text that makes them unopenable. What could be the cause of this?

The first things to try are to delete preferences and do a permissions repair.
To delete preferences, close iDVD and trash the file com.apple.iDVD.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. iDVD will create a new .plist file on relaunch.
To repair permissions, use the Disk Utility app found in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Select your hard drive in the list in the pane on the left hand side of the Disk Utility window, and click on Repair Permissions. Do this before relaunching iDVD.
Then restart your computer and launch iDVD.

After Effects CC suddenly won't launch

It's done this twice before, but has been fine lately. I have a last-minute deadline job that just came in and I can't get AE to even start! Last time this happened, I just kept trying and after about 15 attempts, it launched...not doing that this time. Help?
Thanks!

Help! iPhoto suddenly won't launch - just get the coloured spinning wheel

Help! My photos are so important to me. I store my iPhoto on an external drive as I was running out of space on my Macbook. I haven't had any trouble accessing the drive. All of a sudden, a couple of days ago, when I tried opening iPhoto, all that would happen is that I'd get a coloured spinning wheel, nothing would happen and ultimately I'd have to Force Quit the application.
This is terrifying me! Please advise how I sort this out.
I have backed up to Time Machine (though I stupidly haven't actually checked if the photos have been backing up properly) - I have tried opening Time Machine to see if the photos are all there (30,000+) but can't open the backed up iPhoto without the iPhoto application working! So seems incredibly frustrating and scary.
Please advise... Thank you!

Delete the cache file ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto
Move that file to the trash and secure empty it. You can try to do a normal empty but it normally doesn't allow go through.

Mail won't launch

Late 2009 iMac.... mail suddenly won't launch. It opens then I get the spinning beach ball. After a time it offers to Quit or Quit and Rebuild ; I chose rebuild which is supposed to fix issues but it has not. Using 2 gmail accounts on Mail and it has work flawless until now. My wife recently deleted a ton of old emails from this account using her ipad. Not sure if that had anything to do with this?
I tried deleting Mail from dock and copying a fresh Mail from applications but that didn't work either
any help would be appreciated.

Typically, the deletion of mails via iPad should not cause trouble, since the mails are then deleted only on the Google server. They would simply not show up in e.g. inboxes on the Mac anymore after next sync.
The fact that Mail offers you Rbuild indicates that there's something wrong with the mail 'database', but since rebuilding doesn't help... hmm.
Do you have a backup?
It won't hurt, especially if no backup exists (?!), we may try finding the cause of the trouble:
Launch Console from Applications -> Utilities. Perhaps you'll see some Mail related errors at the bottom of the window already. Otherwise try launching Mail again, and click Rebuild again. When that should be done, check Console, and copy and paste all related messages into a post here. (I trust it won't be hundreds... we don't want to see that many here...)

Application (Civ 4) won't launch

Hi, strangely (and frustratingly) Civ 4 suddenly won't launch for me; no error message, nothing, it just bounces a few times in the dock and stops. I've never had any problems before. I found a few similar threads here, and followed the advice there, but nothing seems to help. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, I've verified that I have the latest software updates, and have repaired permissions (twice, once in safe mode). Not sure what else to do. I'm a relative mac newbie, so advice for dummies would be appreciated!
I have a MacBook Pro, running Mac OS X 10.4.11, 2.2 GHz Intel processor, with 4 GB of RAM and 35 GB of free memory. Never had any similar problems, this just popped up out of the blue, and only seems to affect this one application. Thanks for any help, David

Here's the crash log from attempt to launch Civ4 Warlords. I note that this was the first time I tried to launch is after installing the new Quicktime 7.6.
Thanks,
