IDVD 08 won't load or open... WHY? please help!

I've tried everything I read on the forums and nothing had worked. I have r=trashed idvd themes 1-4 and the preference file from the harddrive and still nothing. I click on iDVD and the opening window comes up, I can choose any of the options and then it will "Load Themes" for endless amounts of time. I've even left it on or hours and it won't quit, load, give error message, nothing! It will just load themes forever. I can click the file menu and everything will be unavailable (grey), even the Quit option so then all I can do is force quit. Please help. I haven't reset permissions because I don't know what that mean and don't want to mess up my machine.
Anyone with help or who has experienced the same problem please, I really need to get this working.
Thanks a lot!

Don't know if this will help but I bought iLife 08 when it first came out and couldn't load it properly. Tried the usual fixes listed here on the forum but tonight I got it to finally load correctly. I followed the Apple fix from late last fall by deleting the iDVD themes 1-4 from the hard drive under Library/Application Support/iDVD themes/DVD 1,2,3 & 4. Then deleted from my home directory Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes and also Library/Caches/com.apple.idvd. I tried to open iDVD 08 as instructed but just got the themes loading and nothing. Rather than trying to re-install themes 1-4 from the 08 install disc, I quit iDVD and I went to Software update to re-install the old themes and get the updated fix. It took about an hour but after restarting when the update was completed, voila . . iDVD 08 came up perfectly. Hope this may help if all else fails.

  • .swf won't load remotely...please help

    Ok, so I have been working with the FlipBook dreamweaver extension and once I upload to my server
    the .swf file won't load. However, everything works like a charm when tested locally. All corresponding
    xml and js files are in place and the code looks fine. I've had this issue once before, and after much time spent on Google it
    seemed there could be a problem with how the swf is being uploaded. I finally got it to work via uploading
    through the web based control panel. Unfortunately, we switched hosts and can only upload via FTP now.
    So I'm stuck again..any ideas how to remedy this situation? Thanks. -Bryan

    MAke sure you have all the supporting files loaded to the srver.  Also, the flashvars line(s) in your embedding code that appear to have some stray "&"s in them that probably needs to be a real "&"s
    <param name="flashvars" value="movie=FlipBook.swf&amp;flashvars=configSource=config.xml&source=book.xml&amp;swfversion=9 .0.45.0" />

  • Movies won't load onto iTunes! Please help me, desperately seeking advice

    Hey all.
    I just bought a new macbook and new 60g iPod and can't watch movies on my pod.
    I try to move them into iTunes and nothing happens, won't drag and drop, won't work if I try import or try to crtl click open with. Just zero happens. I have also tried converting them with iSquint into ipod compatible movies and still nothing. They just won't go anywhere near iTunes. It simply acts as though nothing has happened.
    However, my friend was able to put videos onto my ipod from his old iBook.
    So frustrating, i bought this new computer so things would work properly and so far not so good.
    I have iTunes 7.0.1 and current ipod updater installed on iTunes
    Could someone please help me before I tear my hair out!!

    What you need to do is download a movie file converter to convert your movies to mp4 which is the ipod format. I use one called "ipodvideoconverter" just google it and you'll find one that works. Just a heads up though... it usually takes 3-5 hours to convert a 2 hour movie.

  • Whenever I try to download an app, it says review account information. I click review but then it won't load. Can someone please help me?

    Whenever I try to download apps, it says review account info. I click on review but then it won't load. Is there any way I can get around this or can someone please help me?

    Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
    If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
    And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I may have deleted something and now iPhoto won't load any longer.  Please help me

    I'm very new with my macbook pro and I have been using iPhoto from day one.
    However, I was messing around with the photos, and I deleted neccessary items for iPhoto unknowingly, now my iPhoto doesn't loat at all.
    It shows loading logo spinning but never load and screen is blank.
    Please help me get back my iPhoto.
    Thank you.

    Do you have any idea what you deleted? 
    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a new, test library.  If you can then the problem lies with the current library.
    If that's the case make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

    Open the j3dedit.bat in a text editor and scroll to the right until you see
    %CLASSPATH%. Just remove this word and the problem should be solved. Dont forget to save the file before you close it.
    I hope this is a help.

  • Internal Drive won't load Mac OS X, please help!

    I am trying to reinstall OS X 10.4 on my macbook, however I get this message: "You cannot install Mac OS X on this volume. Mac OS X cannot start from this volume."
    I am having to reinstall on a 160GB 3rd party HD which I bought to replace the stock 60GB. I used super duper some time back to copy the old onto the new, and then stuck it into my Macbook. Everything had been running fine except for two things, one of which was a problem.
    First, when I would start up my computer, just a fraction of a second, before the gray apple would show up, it would show a file folder with a question mark on it, but this never bothered me too much.
    Second, and more importantly, Boot Camp would never even initialize, saying it could not partition the drive. I ran Disk Utility to no avail.
    So now, I have backed up my important files, ran a disk erase, and even tried an external, but nothing is working, please help!!!
    I would really like to have my computer up and running again, and even more so to have Boot Camp operational.
    Here is a link to a pic I took of the problem with my phone:

    Thank you so so much for your help. I knew you knew what you were talking about, but I was confused because I was unaware that there was a difference in selecting the volume and the disk, and so I wasn't seeing a partition tab, but I figured it out. Thank you again, this is wonderful. I love the mac discussion forums, its great to see fellow users helping each other out.

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.
