IDVD 4 will not open
I keep trying to simply open the program, and I get the wheel of death, and it just will not open. Any suggestions? Help?
Thanks,
Tony (please email : [email protected])
REPLYING TO EMAIL:
Try deleting the iDVD preference file, com.apple.iDVD.plist, that's in your User/Library/Preferences folder.

I click the iDVD icon, it bounces once and will not open. I have reinstalled the bundled software and that did nothing. I'm stuck and don't know what to do. Can anyone help ? Thanks
Do these help?

iDVD '08: The application may unexpectedly quit when opened for the first time
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306290
Remember also to delete this file:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
Good luck!
Btw .... if nothing above helps then also try this handy little utility first:

While in imovie, idvd will not open
finish making an imovie - go to share to open idvd and it won't open.
if it doesn't open regardless of what is suggested above, then drag and drop the plist/s from iDvd to the trash followed by a complete restart of your mac.
The plist is located in your HOME folder > Library > Preferences >
com.apple.iDvd.plist
Hope this helps but if not just come on back. -
Idvd will not open/quits with leopard 10.5.8
everytime i try to open idvd it quits, so i read on this forum delete idvd plus empty library/receipts restart-did that , then they said insert OX system disk >select optional software >select idvd... but it aint there!
so what do I do now!?

This must be the software restore disc that came with your computer. Did your computer come with Leopard installed? -

Idvd (and imovie) will not open
Just recently idvd will not open. I should say it opens, but that's it. Can't use it, locks up, won't respond. I have tried dumping the plist for both programs, disk repairs, multiple restarts, still not working. Any ideas?
It was a Wild try.
250Gb is more than sufficient. My minimum is 25Gb.
TRY - Start iDVD but keep alt-key down during full up-start - then create a new iDVD project - old ones can be problem makers.
or May be help here.
Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
iDVD pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named.
*com.apple.iDVD.plist*
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple’s Disk Utilities application)
• Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK will work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iDVD’09 v. 7.0.4, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (does work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
or
Macintosh HD/Users/Your log-in//Library/Application Support/iDVD/Installed Themes/ zzzzzzzzzz
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
iDVD updated ?
Apple Codec updated ?
Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets
No of Colors - must be set to millions
EdinSF writes that, The 10.6.3 update with an Open GL fix seems to have taken care of the problem.

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. -
I recently ran monolingual and removed all but the intel-64 bit architectures. Now my iphoto (along with Idvd, garage band, imovie) will not open. Here is the message that I get.

I just created a new DVD video using iDVD, but after burning the DVD and trying to play the DVD on any computer, it will not open unless I open the DVD Player first (I have my settings on DVD Player to automatically open DVDs). Any ideas?
Hi
Most common origin to this are
• Use of Cheap DVD brand e.g. Memorex, NoName etc. - I only use Verbatim (more organic dye in them)
• Burn speed - I set it down to x4
• Use of DVD-/+RW disks - I only use DVD-R as they also play on older DVD-Players (DVD+R don't)

Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?
Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue. -
