IDVD 4.0.1 error - not compatible with Mac OS X

I have a Mac PowerBook G4 and I updated the software with leopard. I have Mac OS X Version 10.5.7. For some reason, every time I try to open up iDVD the following message appears:
"You cannot not use this version of application iDVD.app with this version of Mac OS X."
I have tried to download updated iDVD software, but my Mac will not allow the update to go through.
This is the information regarding my iDVD software:
Version: 4.0.1
Last Modified: 3/1/04 1:01 PM
Kind: PowerPC
Get Info String: iDVD 4.0.1, Copyright 2001–2004 Apple Computer, Inc.
Location: /Applications/iDVD.app
How would I go about updating my iDVD software so it will function on my Mac?
Thank You.

You need to purchase a more current version of iLife. From your information, it would seem that iLife '09, which is currently being sold, would work on your computer. To be sure, check this out. http://www.apple.com/ilife/systemrequirements.html
If you do not wish to purchase iLIfe '09, then see if you can find a copy of '08 on sites such as eBay.
I hope this helps.

What version of iDVD is compatible with OS X 10.5.8? I get an error message that iDVD 5.0.1 is not compatible with OS X 10.5.8.

It won't mess up anything. The preference file contains the preferences you set in iDVD such as this:
Follow this to delete the iDVD preference file:
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.

HP C5380 DVD/CD Printing Feature Not Compatible With Mac

I purchased this all-in-one specifically for the feature of printing direct to cd/dvds. Other functions work fine but this will not. After contacting HP Support I am informed that this feature is not compatible with Mac. Surely this is false advertising as nowhere on the packaging can I find any reference to this. Under specifications it shows that system requirements were Mac OSX 10.5.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix? I have searched mac support but can find no reference to this. Interested to hear other viewpoints and experiences.

Hello,
I would try printing directly on CD/DVD from the application HP Photosmart Studio.. Follow the steps below:
1. Open HP Photosmart Studio
2. Select an image from the Photosmart Studio library/browser
3. Choose "Create" in the toolbar
4. In the menu on the left, choose the following settings:
- Project: CD/DVD Label
- Label Type: CD/DVD (5 inch/120 mm)
5. Move the image from the media bar to the label, resize it if necessary
6. Click "Print" on the toolbar
Regards,
Vicarious

IPad not compatible with MAC OS X 10.4.11

I just bought an iPad and just realised that it's not compatible with MAC OS X 10.4.11 when I tried to hook it into iTunes. Therefore I will need to upgrade. C
an someone advise on what OS I should upgrade to and how? I assume Snow Leopard would be my best option, but I'm not sure if I can upgrade to this from MAC OS X 10.4.11.
Also I've never upgraded before, so will everything on my current Note Book be preserved such as iTunes library, documents, iPhoto's library etc.
Thanks in advance

I was faced with the same dilemma, and wound up upgrading to Leopard on my G5. My approach, which worked well, was to get a retail box through eBay, then upgrade online to 10.5.8.
You're always well advised to do a backup before an OS upgrade. Find many discussions about upgrading in the OS forums.

I purchased Acrobat Standard, not realizing it is not compatible with MAC. I need to exchange. I just chatted with a so-called "specialist" who told me to sign in and download the same program. I got the same blasted message. I need help. I need to exchange this program for one that is compatible with my MAC. The standard is of no use to me at all. I feel like I have been ripped off

Hi Kargi,
We are working on getting things straightened out for you. You should be hearing from a Customer Care agent shortly.

Photoshop CS3 gives me an error "not compatible with his version.." when trying to reopen files

Photoshop CS3 gives me an error-
"Could not complete your request because this file is not compatible with his version of photo shop" when I try and reopen psd's or layered tiffs,
it usually happens to files over 1gb in size,
I can open them up in illustrator but not in photo shop,
this is very annoying, it also happened today in CS2

"could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop"
We've just had te same problem with a PSD file, it could not be opened by Photoshop CS nor CS3, and ImageReady showed the layers empty. So we downloaded The GIMP to give it a try. It took a extremely long time for The GIMP to open the 500MB file, but it did, without throwing error messages. Some layer masks were interpreted incorrectly, and the color profile tag was ignored. But at least the project could be saved to a new Photoshop file, which was opened by Photoshop without error messages except for the color profile tag.

DVD Player error: not compatible with OS

Trying to fix a coworkers G5. She has 10.5.8 running, and can't play any DVDs. She is up to date on all software updates.
When I went to the DVD player settings, I couldn't choose "DVD Player". When I tried to open the application it told me that DVD Player is not compatible with this version of the OS X.
Can I reinstall that application? If so, where do I find it? Is it on the system installation disk? Do I need to do a reinstall of OS X?? Any other options?
Thanks for any help given.

CS6 not compatible with mac retina display

I recently purchased the Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium at school. (It's not the creative cloud)
Upon installing, I noticed that all of the programs are blurry. After a quick google search, it says that when a program is blurry it's not compatible with retina display.
I did an update on all the programs, and it seems like only photoshop and illustrator were updated to have retina display. The only other program I really need to be retina compatible is InDesign. I don't care about dreamweaver and such.
Anyone knows if there is an update for coming for that? Any work arounds, or who I need to contact to see what they can do? I spent a ton of money on this, and was not aware that there was a retina display issue, and my software is obviously now non-returnable.

There is nothing more to do. CS6 is now 3 years old and there simply won't be any further updates, be it just for simple technical reasons.

AirPort Extreme card not compatible with Mac Pro???

Hey,
I recently purchased my Mac Pro without thinking to include any hardware for connecting to a wireless network.
I have recently moved into a new apartment which I am keen to join to a wireless network which has just been set up by my roommate for his PC and Laptop.
I was going to buy an AirPort Extreme card, but I have read that it is not compatible with the Mac Pro. Yet when I looked at the configure process for a new mac it was listed as one of the devises offered for wireless networking!!
I am very confused...
I was wondering if anyone could help me, i just need to know what hardware i will need and how it would be installed.
thanks, all help will be greatly appreciated!
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

the mac pro takes a slightly different airport express card. you have to purchase it at the retail store and have them install it. in my experience they will not allow you to purchase one and install it yourself due to the difficulty of installing it. best thing to do take your macpro into a apple retail store and see what they can do.

I have a class where I need to use SmartDraw but it is not compatible with Mac probook what are some other software programs I can use to make floorplans and building plans?

I am suppose to download SmartDraw to my computer for a class but it is not compatible with Probook is there another program that does the same as SmartDraw? I am planning a building addition and need it for the floor plans. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There are lots of choices. Just go to the App Store and type in Cad Drawing in the search field. Also Sketchup from Google is a cloud based solution hat works pretty well.

My MacBook Air 2013 is 'not compatible with Mac OS X Mountain Lion'

Hi,
I just bought a new MacBook Air 2013 yesterday.
I think there may be some driver issues with it as the graphics seem a little choppy.
I tried redownloading Mac OS X Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store but a message constantly pops up saying that Mac OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with my computer.
Is anyone else getting this issue?

Wait until the next update, or reinstall it from the recovery partition, which is accessible by pressing the Command and R keys at startup.
