IDVD 11 Themes won't load?

I just purchased Ilife (old version) so I could load IDVD.  It loaded fine but when I try to use the program it can't load the themes and ends the program.
I located themes version 6 and 7 on the HD in application suppoprt, but even if I try to open the themes with IDVD the program ends abruptly....
Thoughts?

Try this basic troubleshooting fix:
1 - delete the IDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete IDVD'S cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iDVD folder. 
3 - launch IDVD and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • 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!
    Lizzy

    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.

  • Pr0blems using igoogle themes on firefox,theme won't load

    no matter which theme I choose from igoogle it won't load on firefox. it loads ok on IE and chrome. I also have no colour on gmail at all

    I was having an issue with gmail after upgrading to FF4. Trying to load gmail, FF kept asking to save a file of type application/binary. The file itself was a .part file. Not sure what all this was about, but I deleted all gmail related cookies and gmail loaded and ran fine after that.

  • Old iDVD projects won't load correctly!

    Hi,
    A few years ago I bought a Titanium Powerbook and made many iDVD projects with it in iDVD 4 and iDVD 5. I recently migrated all my stuff over to my new Intel Mac. I tried opening my old projects in iDVD 6, but it says it doesn't have the theme I used (Sky), so it reverts to the 'Travel' theme and all the fonts and placement of menus is screwed up. Can someone please help me? I've spent countless hours on all of these old projects and would like to retrieve them on my new Mac. I almost always used 'Sky' because it was a simple theme where I could just drop all of menu screens I created in Photoshop. Re-creating each menu all over again would be unbearable!
    Thanks!

    SKY is one of the very old themes that dates before iDVD 3.
    As you have found out, it is not included in the iDVD versions that come with new machines.
    Do you still have your Ti book?
    Apple has changed the location of the iDVD themes - in iDVD 4 and earlier, the themes are in the application package. That changed - I think in iDVD5 and they are in another location in the Library.
    If you still have your old machine, there is a very slight chance you might be able to use the extracted Sky theme in newer versions.
    Otherwise, you need to bite the bullet and redesign your projects. Green linen is fairly plane and you might be able to use it as a basis for your redesigned themes.

  • IDVD 6 won't load themes

    I just installed iLife6 and I find that iDVD 6 hangs when trying to load the themes - hangs means it shows the "loading themes" barber pole but never finishes. Solution? I noticed that there are only folders iDVD 4 -6 in my Themes folder in iDVD inside Application Support. Could that be the problem?

    I would like to put my hat in for the people who are having this problem. I have read everything that has been suggested in this forum (delete plist files, delete themes file, reinstalled from iLife 06 disk, reistalled just the themes).
    I have gone as far as to compare the install on my Powerbook (which works) with my G5. Found that in the user level directory plist file that the path was wrong, I edited it, still doesn't work.
    I have copied the themes from the system Library directory to the user level one and that didn't do anything.
    What I have found is that each time I start iDVD it hangs on the loading bar and punts the error to Console (which is the same as the above user's output). It then creates one theme at a smaller size than the same theme in my Powerbooks iDVD user level Application Support directory (usually only 44Kb compared to 166Kb). Each subsequent restart of the app creates a new theme in the user level Application Support directory. Once it has created that theme it will hang for as long as I have patience (which has been as long as 3 hours).
    Each time I have reinstalled iDVD it builds the system level iDVD Application Support directory just fine but does not create anything in the user level directory.
    Finally as mentioned before I have compared my working Powerbook .plist file with my G5 .plist file and found that the Powerbook's searchpath is set to the system level iDVD Application Support directory where the G5 is set to the user level one. Even after changing the G5's path it still does not function. No amount of reinstalls will fix this.
    Thanks for the help.

  • I just updated to the latest aperture, i have projects previously saved on a drive (in the old version) that now won't load... how do i update them?

    Hi,
    i just updated to the latest aperture, i have projects previously saved on a drive (in the old version) that now won't load... how do i update them?

    But, unless I missed something, you are doing the repair with Aperture 3.5 so if 3.5 can't open an earlier library before doing the upgrade then unless I'm missing something the library will be upgraded before the repair is run, no?
    OT:
    You got me there, Frank - I wondered about the same thing, but Aperture is behaving differently, when upgrading a library, depending on if you are launching into the First Aid Tools or not.
    I repeated my experiments, to explore this difference:
    I restored an Aperture 3.4.3 library and launched the First Aid Tools:
    Apertur went directly into First Aid Mode without first asking to upgrade.
    Then "Repair" asked to be allowed to upgrade the library as you predicted.
    During the upgrade "Aperture"showed "Rebuilding", not "Repairing" or "upgrading". 
    Second experiment: When I only double-click the 3.4.3 library instead of repairing, the upgrade alert is very different:
    It takes a shorter time and does not show "rebuilding".
    I am quite certain, that Aperture will use a different upgrade prodecure, when launched into the First Aid panel for repairing or rebuilding.

  • My iMac won't load email email until after I have been on it 10 minutes or more.  The carrier says it is not them it it my computer.  Help please.

    My iMac computer won't load my email from the local carrier until I have been on the computer at least 10 minutes.  They say it is not them.  It is Apple.  Any suggestions?  Thanks!

    First of all, rule out a network problem:
    Run a speed test via Safari. You can use http://www.speedtest.net  
    In order for your emails to load within a few seconds, you'll need an internet connection of 1MB p/s or faster. Anything slower than that may cause the connection to the email server to time out.
    If your connection checks out, try setting up your email address in a new user account. Sign out, and then sign into Guest. Set up your email there. If it's still slow, then you'll need to test on another computer.
    Testing on a Phone or Tablet won't give accurate results, as they use different methods of accessing your email server.
    If after tesitng on another computer, the connection is slow, make a back up of your emails and as your provider to clear your inbox on the server end. This will remove emails from your inbox if it's an IMAP account, or they won't be downloadable if it's a POP account.
    After they've confirmed that's been done, try sending yourself a test email. Monitor the reaction time.
    If all else fails, yell at your ISP

  • IDVD won't load large project file..Help!

    iDVD won't load large project file once I close the program for the first time since finishing the project.  Basically, I made a compilation DVD of numerous individual files spread across quite a few folders/sub-menus totaling about 236 minutes on a Dual Layer DVD+R.  I closed the project prior to burning but now, iDVD gets the rainbow wheel everytime you try to load that particular project.  What's the deal?
    Notes:
    -iDVD does still load if I want to load another (smaller/simple project) or start a new one.
    -I've tried to start over from scratch a make the exact same project.  When I exited out and went to load it, it did the same thing.
    -I'm running Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and iDVD 7.1.2.

My machines will definitely be Norton-free from now on ... N

    Hi Maquillage,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend troubleshooting the iPhone by following the instructions in this article:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Cheers,
    - Ari
