IDVD 4.01:  Some menus/folders are BLANK after burn.  HELP!

I have a eMac, G4, 1GHz, 512mb and up to this point, iDVD has worked flawless.
I'm working on a large project. Probably the largest I've ever done with iDVD. There are many pictures, several movies, a whole bunch of seperate folders, and everything has audio... The DVD previews perfect. Everything is the way I need/want it. However, the contents of some folders are blank (appearing black) after a burn. I'm stumped? I've tried recreating the folders, movies, images, audio in the affected areas. But, it's almost random! After some burns one folder will come out ok and a different one is affected. I'll fix one and the one I just fixed is blank! Any ideas? (I'm at witts end here)
I've set iDVD to the 'Quality' setting in the perfs so it rebuilds everything on every burn. I've deleted all assets several times before a burn.
Thanks in advance...

Wow. Nobody had a soultion to this one...
I decided a drastic change was needed. I absolutly had to get this DVD created. I assumed that either there was a problem with OS X 10.2.X, iDVD 4.01 or a Firmware problem with my Superdrive. The Firmware update for the Superdrive required OS X 10.3.8 or greater. So, that's what I did... I upgraded to OS X 10.4.2 and iLife 5. After the 2hr install and updates were applied, I attempted a burn. IT WORKED! I fixed the problem with a $70 purchase on eBay. I'm a happy Mac user once again.

    My mail messages are blank after upgrading to OS X Mavericks. How do I fix this??

    Hi, I had this same problem. I have a load of work subfolders and was showing the message header but no content. I think it lost the link to the original messages.
    There may be a simpler way but I fixed it by going to the mail folders in finder. I took the following steps:
    Go to user library (hold down the alt key whilst clicking the Go menu in finder to access user library)
    Go to user/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes. You should be able to see your mailboxes and your original messages (ending .emlx) after clicking down the hierachy in each mailbox. For some reason mail added a "-2" onto the end of each mailbox which I think has caused the problem.
    Copy each required mailbox (.mbox) onto desktop. I removed the "-2" at this stage to clean things up.
    In Mail, choose File/Import Mailboxes....
    Import data from: Apple Mail. Click continue, navigate to desktop and choose the relevant .mbox folders. Click Choose.
    It should then import the mail to a new folder called import in mail. You can then rename that folder or move the subfolders out.
    I moved the .mbox folders on my desktop to my documents folder as a backup just in case. I then deleted the problem mailboxes from the finders mailboxes folder.
    Problem solved - for me anyway!!
    Hope this helps.

  • My Macbook Air does not show up on my network to any of my other computers, Other computers on my network appear and disappear, some shared folders are not accessible

    My Macbook Air with Lion does not show up on my network to any of my other computers (PC's) , even though it is connected to my wifi and does access the Internet. In addition, my other computers sometimes show up in Finder and sometimes they're not there. Sometimes they do show in Finder and when I click on them, I get "Connection Failed", other times, they connect. Also some shared folders on those other computers, which are PC's are not accessible, even though fully shared. My network is Apple Airport Extreme and works perfectly otherwise, including all PC's being able to see each other. Help would be much appreciated

    I got the same problem. I want to access my shared folder on my home windows7 from my MBA. Tried many suggestions on the web but all to no avail. I thought that should be very trivial. Maybe a Lion bug?

  • Some NAL folders are missing

    Hello!
    For some days, we have a strange problem: We use ZfD and NAL to give our
    users access to their applications. When they login, they sometimes miss
    some folders in NAL. Some other folders appear, but they are often
    incomplete, i.e. some icons are missing. Has anyone seen this before? Does
    anyone have a hint where to start searching? (dsrepair showed no problems.)

  • Some Blog Pages Are Blank

    Some of my blog pages are blank. This typically happens with longer entries. The problem seems to be with the number of links on the page. When I add links and publish, the page is blank. When I remove some links, it is readable again.
    For situations where the page is blank, if I double-click on the page, it seems to be selecting the "invisible" text. I can copy and paste it into Word and then it is visible.
    I'm using the modern theme with no extra bells and whistles, just plain text.
    Any suggestions?

    How to I report problems? Does the "Provide iWeb Feedback" option under the iWeb menu actually work? Do they read that feedback or is there another place to go for reporting actual bugs in the program. I have a long list of concerns and issues:
    http://web.mac.com/resourcesforlife/journal/writings/Entries/2007/8/19iWebReview.html
    anything is better than nothing, I had my fare share of iweb ranting.
    when you decide to report problems; include your link and this thread.
    if apple sw engineers look at these posts (as much as they looked at my site -so closely- a year ago), perhaps they'll fix the problems.
    until then, chin up and keep smiling

  • Some input dialogs are blank - no cursor, but chrome ok - why?

    I am trying to set dialogs in a JomSocial profile edit page. Some dialogs are editable, and others are blank and apparently don't accept input. When this is done using Chrome, there is no problem.

    Can you try in safe mode?
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

  • Some site pages are blank

    Just within the past few weeks when I visit sites that have me look at another page it sometimes shows up blank. Mostly this seems to be pdf file pages that are viewed on line. Also occasionally video files. Doesn't happen all the time but never did in the past. Getting frustrated because I have to switch to Mozilla to open the pages.

    Hi Jacqui,
    This is something new I have been finding as well, I think it started after my last security update for QT or one prior that,
    I also find that clicking on the reload button in the address bar, usually makes the page load. Yes it's frustrating.

  • Some iPad icons are blank, not complete

    Since the latest update some of my ipad icons are blank

    Hi chriscess,
    If you are having issues with your icons on your iPad's screen, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

  • Some Monitoring Reports Are Blank

    Hello,
    We have deployed monitoring reports for Lync 2013 on SQL 2012 mirrored back end database servers.  When I try to open any reports under System Usage Reports, the report is blank.  For example, if I try to open report called "User Registration
    Report", it is blank.  However, if I open any reports under "Media Quality Diagnostic Reports" like "Server Performance Report", it works fine.  So, just wondering why I don't see any data for reports like "User Registration
    Report".  The SQL account I'm using has full sysadmin role on the SQL server.  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Please check if FE server have MSMQ with Directory Services integration installed to complete the message chain between FE and Monitoring server.

  • Mail 4.5 folders are empty after 10.6.8 reinstall.

    Hi Guys,
    I need advice about Mail 4.5.
    I've been obliged to reinstall ALL my data.
    On a brand new hard drive, I did a clean DVD install of 10.6.5, and then a clean Software Update install of 10.6.8, in my MacBook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo, with 4 MB of RAM.
    I have NOT been able to rely upon my Time Machine backups (long story).
    Instead, I've been obliged to do a raw copy of all my data from an external hard drive.
    Everything seems to be back where it was except Mail 4.5.
    Mail launches fine, it can see all my accounts, it can pull down new mail, and I can see all my Mail folders, as evidenced by this screen grab:
    The problem is that ALL my Mail folders (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, Junk, etc) appear to be empty.
    So, for example, the Mail folder called 'Newspapers' shows that it has 20,418 unread messages within it.
    However, when I click on the 'Newspapers' folder, I can't see ANY messages, either read or unread.
    Instead, I just get a blank white screen.
    All my Mail accounts are running on standard POP configs. 
    No IMAP complexities, or anything like that.
    I've installed EXACT copies of these three folders, all of which worked fine before I was forced to reinstall all my data:
    - Users/Name/Library/Mail
    - Users/Name/Library/Mail Downloads
    - Users/Name/Library/Preferences
    I've also repaired Permissions in Disk Utility, and pulled restarts.
    In view of the fact that Mail can see my messages, but won't show them to me, I'm stumped.
    Your wise and kind advice would be gratefully received.
    Many thanks.

    Hi Softwater,
    Thanks for your kind and swift response.
    It's not the recent e-mails which I'm worried about.
    They can stay on the server until I've resolved my OLD e-mails, 99% of which are long deleted from their servers.
    I'm deliberately keeping Mail offline until I've retrieved my 20 year e-mail history, all of which has been put into sub-folders within sub-folders within sub-folders.
    I've got to get my e-mail history back.
    Thanks.
    Best,

  • Some C1242 Radios are disabled after WLC 5508 upgrade to 7.3.101.0

              One week ago I use a WLC 5508 to place and replace another WLC 5508 with version 6.0.199.4, when I conect the new WLC all AP´s works OK only 10 dont work and not are recognizes from the WLC with version 7.3.101.0. The fail is the radios stay disabled. All ap´s are AIR-AP1242G-AK9 . See the image below, the only difference this ten AP´s are conected in switches cisco all the rest are connected in switches of ohter vendor.  
    If possible some command in the configuration is not neccesary and make the bad function?
    This is tipically config apllied by the customer in they cisco switches

    switchport port-security violation restrict
    switchport port-security aging type   inactivity

    spanning-tree portfast
    spanning-tree bpduguard enable
    I reed some documents but i don´t found the right solution can any help me?
    Thank

    Are the APs being powered through POE or perhaps an injector (if injector, do you have the injector override enabled for joined APs with their radios down?)  What's the disparity of the models; are all 1242s in this "down radio" state, or only the 1242s plugged in to the Cisco Switches?
    When you say the 10 don't work and are not "recognized" by the WLC, are you indicating that they have not re-joined the newer WLC or are they joined but their radios are not operationally up?  Please clarify the state of these APs.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/release/notes/crn73.html#wp965532
    Please note that a version prior to 7.0.98.0 cannot be upgraded directly to 7.3.101.0 from the WLC perspective, but it's possible your 1242 AP's image (used from the 6.0.199.4 release) is not able to properly join and download code for the 7.3.101.0 WLC that was put in to place.  The 1242 APs in your scenario would still be running the old 6.0.199.4 image.
    I'm curious what all is or isn't happening from the questions above, but you may need to load a newer recovery release on the 1242s to have them join properly - or - downgrade the WLC to a version that allows a direct upgrade from 6.0.199.4 such as 7.0.240.0.  Let the APs join the downgraded WLC and finish up any image downloads and re-join, then upgrade the WLC back to 7.3.101.0 (would recommend latest 7.3.112.0 instead) and see if they rejoin and radios are online.
