I can only refer you to threads where folks have successfully removed these plug ins. I personally make it a point not to use them.

Side question ..... have you tried making a separate user account on your mac and then launching iDvd'08 from that new account?

  • IDVD will not start

    I recently upgraded to iLife 08 and iDVD will not start. Sometimes it will ask me what kind of project I would like and sometimes it even lets me name it and specify the files location, but then it just crashes. I deleted the themes as per Apple's instructions, but this had no effect. I also attempted to re-install the software. Same result. Help!

    Problem solved. I found the solution posted by Frizzonk at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1087028&tstart=15
    I had to delete the entire installed themes folder but then iDVD worked. Thanks for the support folks.

  • My iDvd will not burn a disc...there is an encoding error that comes up after the title screen

    Like it says in the title...My iDvd will not burn a disc...there is an encoding error that comes up after the title screen.
    Here is the process that I have been doing.
    1. put in a blank disk and with the project already being done, i hit burn (not too hard).
    2. iDvd then starts to encode the title.
    3. After the title has been encoded, the burning stops and a message comes up saying "there was an error during encoding" and when ever I try to burn the same message keeps on coming up.
    I am running version 7.0.4
    any help would be extremely helpful

    Try using this workflow:
    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.
    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.
    Then you can concentrate on the content if you can't create a disk image of the project.

  • IDVD will not initialize in 64 bit mode

    I upgraded to Snow Leopard and booted up in 64 bit mode. I just discovered that IDVD will not open in 64 bit mode. Rebooted in 32 bit mode IDVD works fine. Has anyone else has this problem or a similar problem with any APPLE apps in 64 bit mode. Is there a fix out there for this type of problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The current iDVD application is not 64-bit. In fact none of the iLife or iWorks applications have been converted to 64-bit. It's not likely they will be since there's a large user base that can only use the universal binaries. There isn't that much use for 64-bit booting at this time unless you are a developer creating 64-bit only applications.
    This is not a problem for which a fix is even possible.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    I have purchased VGA adaptor & HDMI adaptor to connect ipAd1 to a TV - it will not.  Help please

    Only certain apps that had this feature added will show from an original iPad to a video out - whether VGA or HDMI. It does not have true mirroring, like the iPad2 does.

  • IDVD will not encode audio

    Hi,
    Just as the topic says, iDVD will not encode the audio......well whats happening is that it says its in the process of encoding....the bar turns grey, and has the loading color wheel thing and thats basically whats happening. Its been doing this for the past hour. I have lots of ram and memory so i dont think thats a problem.....any solutions??
    Thanks

    This question is frequently asked!
    iDVD is probably not 'hanging'. Disregard any messages that iDVD is not responding. It is. Do not force quit.
    Encoding audio is the slowest part of rendering, and can take many hours. Great patience, even an intermittent alternative hobby, is called for.
    Make sure no other application is running, make sure you have not set the hard disk to go to sleep and that the screen saver will not come on. Leave it overnight, or have a 36 hole game of golf.
    Sooner or later iDVD will finish!

  • IDVD will not launch in iMovie HD 5.0.2

    The iDVD will not launch as a notice says it won't launch with my version of osx. I want to be able to burn DVDs but can't. Suggestions???

    If you want to use the iLife programs,per Niels response on your other post, you need to upgrade to iLife '06. Looking at the requirements, iLife '06 is the only version you can upgrade to, as iLife '08 and later require Intel processors for iMovie and other functions. One place you can buy it from is: http://hardcoremac.stores.yahoo.net/ilife06.html .
    There are some freebie DVD burning programs available, however, you lose the integration that the iLife programs bring with them.
    Roxio makes several programs that will burn DVD's. I've used Toast Titanium for years and can recommend it. See http://www.roxio.com/

  • Itunes, Iphoto, Imovie, Disc Utility, Idvd will not work

    Can someone please advise.
    Itunes, Iphoto Imovie, Idvd will not work. All of my related files are there ie, all my music and photos but the actual programmes will not open. I read about using the Disc Utility but that will not open either. When I try to download say Itunes or Iphoto and lick on the download safari opens on google?
    Please does anyone know what is wrong?
    Its a PowerPc G5.
    Cheers Mary

    Our powerbooks can not run iMovie'08. Not enough horsepower.
    That is why we are offered a free download of iMovie '06.

  • IDVD will not launch to burn DVD

    In my iMovie HD 5.0.2, the iDVD will not launch to burn a DVD. I have tried everything. When clicking the iDVD, it says to go to Finder to launch. In Finder, I go to applications and click iDVD and get:You cannot use this version of the application iDVD with this version of Mac OSX.
    What are my options???

    Just a little confused. I already have iphoto, imovie, garage band etc that would be in a ilife download so what are the benefits? Currently, when I click for software upgrades, there are none. Would downloading ilife really change anything?

  • I just downloaded Premiere Elements 9 and it will not open Help!

    I just downloaded Premiere Elements 9 and it will not open Help!

    kmeg55
    From where did you download Premiere Elements 9 at this late date? What computer operating system is it to be running on?
    Do you have the 9.0.1 Update installed?
    Adobe - Premiere Elements : For Windows : Premiere Elements 9.0.1 update
    Are you getting any display card errors?
    We have just gone down this type of road with another 9 user, so let us start with what finally seems to have worked for him.
    What video card/graphics card does your computer use? Is the driver for that card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of that card? If not, update the card driver. If the driver is up to date already, then delete the BadDrivers.txt file.
    For now I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    9.0
    and in the 9.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path shown. After you deleted the BadDrivers.txt and reopened Premiere Elements, the program will generate a new BadDrivers.txt file but now the problem should be gone.
    Please review, consider, and then let us know the outcome.
    The rationale behind deletion of the BadDrivers.txt file can be found in post 10 of the following thread
