IDVD 4 won't reinstall

I have iDVD 4 and I need to reinstall it from my iLife 4 DVD. It won't install though. It says that one of my iLife apps is running, but none of them are.
Any ideas?

It is probably caused by iTunes helper.

Iphoto continually quit on MBP and Air, now won't reinstall on Air

I have a MBP and Air with ilife 08 and all the latest apple software updates on each.
For about three weeks iphoto has been shutting down on either computer whenever i email a photo, or download and save a photo from the internet.
Today i removed iphoto from both computers and reinstalled.
After reinstalling my MBP it seemed to work fine, only shutting down once in about 15 emailed photos (as compared to every time previosuly). Thinking all was well (or at least acceptible) I went ahead and installed the three updates from apple via the software updater in system preferences. After i installed the automatic updates and used iphoto again, it shut down every time i emailed a photo. At that point I uninstalled the iphoto and reinstalled it without the latest apple updates. It seems to work fine now.
So, I tried doing the same thing on my air, but now iphoto won't reinstall, even though each time at the end of the process it tells me the install was successful. The first two times I only uninstalled (dragged to trash) iphoto, but the next two times i also dumped garageband, iweb, and idvd. Each time these programs were reinstalled, but not iphoto. When I search on iphoto no results.
Any ideas on how to get iphoto back on my air? I am using remote disk and have never had any previous problems with it, and obviously the other programs reinstalled fine.
Thoughts on why iphoto won't work with the latest apple updates installed?

fishbio:
Before reinstalling iPhoto make sure you've deleted all files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder. Otherwise the installer will think that iPhoto already exists and doesn't need to install.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't open Photoshop CC-says need to reinstall but won't reinstall

I activated the free trial and used Photoshop- it was perfect. Now 2 days later, when I try to open the application, an error message comes saying that some application components are missing from the application directory and to please reinstall the application. But, when I go to the Create Cloud Installer and click on Photoshop, it says "up to date" in the column and won't reinstall or do anything really.... I tried putting the existing app in the trash, but that's not helping....

Mobile device support won't reinstall?

my parents bought me a new computer as an early Christmas present (it's Windows 8.1), but iTunes 12 wasn't loading properly when I installed it - so I uninstalled all of the components using the Apple-recommended method and reinstalled iTunes... except for some reason mobile device support didn't come along.and now it won't reinstall. every time i try to install it, it shows me this:
i'm not sure why - yes, i did uninstall all the components in the order Apple told me to. i've done it eight times now, probably. followed every suggestion google gave me, even. there's not exactly many / any helpful ones for iTunes 12 when it comes to mobile device support issues right now.
:/ i've got an iPad Air, an iPhone 4, and an iPod Touch 5, so it's really frustrating to have all of these devices and no way to get my music onto them! it's not so much a problem for the iPod/Phone, since i've had them since before my old computer crashed... but the iPad is brand new, and not all of my music is iTunes purchased! so i can't get that stuff on here. or ringtones. or any of my apps that don't show up in the store otherwise.
basically if ANYONE has any idea what to do with this, or needs any more information so they can help.... just please do. this is really frustrating.

Not sure what broke the link. Let's try again. Re: I keep getting the error message "iTunes requires a newer version of Apple Mobile Device Support. Please uninstall both Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes, then install iTunes again." Please help
Still not quite right. It supposed to take you to my post in the thread that reads thus:
You could try logging the install of AMDS to see if you can work out what the problem is. Try the following command. It has both the .msi file and the output log located at the root of the C: drive but you can edit the paths to taste. The second option switch is slash el star vee and generates a verbose output log.
msiexec /i "C:\AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi" /l*v "C:\Log_AMDS64.txt"
And in a hint from another thread try deleting the following files before attempting a reinstall of AMDS.
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\usbaapl64.sys
C:\Windows\System32\usbaaplrc.dll
I've also assumed 64-bit iTunes/Windows so you may need to adjust if it is a 32-bit system.
And perhaps the subsequent posts in the thread may help, which is why I wanted to link you there rather than just copy the text here.
Perhaps I've assumed that the MS Fixit can be applied to an .msi installer as well as an ,exe. I haven't had to use it in anger myself. If it won't pick up on the .msi then will it work if used with the main iTunes installer .exe?

I downloaded an app called 'Cinema but instead of promised movies got trailers. Then I deleted it etc A dvised on help page and now it won't reinstall any ideas? Have contacted itunes x 2 but no response and unable to contact app developers.

I bought an app from itunes called 'Cinema' It promised loads of movies but all I got was trailers. No way to contact the developers of the app. So I followed the 'Support' advice and deleted etc and now it won't reinstall. there is no install button next to it!. It was only £6.99 so not a fortune but I'm wary of trying any others now. Where did I go wrong and how do I put it right?

Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

Adobe Flash Player has Disappeared from my FF Add-ons & won't reinstall

Adobe Flash Player has Disappeared from my FF (version 4.0.1) Add-ons & won't reinstall. The Adobe Test page says that I've successfully installed the latest version (10.3.181.34) of Flash Player but after trying this 4 times, Flash just refuses to show up in my add-ons/plug-ins and now some websites are not working correctly. (Using a Win7 Home, 64-bit, SP 1 desktop.)

Because the are different products and load/use/display different types of files. You either have both installed because you have used websites that need one or the other, or you don't. Don't worry about why they are named the way they are named, that is Adobe's decision. Just accept the facts and go on with your life.

IDVD project won't open

I've been working on an iDVD 06 project which is relatively complex - a number of submenus and short movies (it's 4.4Gb archived). iDVD 06 won't open it: it opens the iDVD window, takes a long time loading themes then the header bar says Loading Project, but it doesn't get any further and then crashes. I've tried trashing all the iDVD-related preferences and caches I can find to no avail. I've tried opening the project on another machine (an iMac G4) and the same problem arises.
I really don't want to have to start this project again from scratch - any ideas? Or if I do have to start from scratch, what should I avoid doing to prevent a recurrence?

Welcome to discussions, Tom
Does this project reside on an external drive that is not formatted OS X extended?

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

ILife won't reinstall after archive

Recently archived system & now iLife will not install. Says error on installation. I have OS 10.3.8 running & have iLife 5 as well as 4, but when I got the error message trying to reinstall 5, I tried 4 & same story. When I try to make a slide show using iPhoto, photos are missing in the slide show, but appear in the thumbnails. iPhoto commands (stop, add music, etc.) while the slide show running do not work, either. iLife 5 is in the applications folder after the archive & I have not deleted the previous systems folder yet, waiting to see if everything works. Done the repair preferences numerous times, ran MacJanitor, too.

This is just an update. After repairing permissions from the OS 10.3 install disk a few more times, I got iTunes 5 & iPhoto 5 to reinstall on the custom install feature. iMovie wouldn't install till I finally dumped the previous system folder (or most of it, anyhow). Two tiny files of 8kb remain. One called "resources" & one called "missingfiles/nib" were still in use, even though they were in the previous system folder. Don't know what they even do. They remain in the trash because they won't leave. Restarted & repaired permissions several more times, but iDVD still wouldn't install, either, until I installed it without the previous themes. Just have the iDVD 5 themes now, which is OK. Haven't tried it out with a slide show yet, but am optimistic.

I-Tunes stopped working - wouldn't transfer music to library or IPod. I uninstalled it. Now it's gone but won't reinstall - just says "Thanks for downloading" when I hit the download button.

Hello! I'm having a giant I-Tunes problem. It started acting up a few weeks ago - wouldn't let me add information to songs, etc. and now it's full-blown screwed up - won't transfer music into the library, won't transfer music onto my IPod from my library, etc. So I finally decided to uninstall and reinstall and hope that might help. I uninstalled it and it is no longer on my computer. When I go to download it, though, it immediately comes up with "thank you for downloading" after I hit the the button and does NOT download. I can't get it back and if I do, I don't know if it will work. Any advice? Much appreciated! Tom

I have found turingttest2 very helpful in these matters.

HT1222 I have Windows 7. The latest iTunes update messed it up. I tried to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Now, it won't reinstall (64-bit). Error pops up: missing MSVCR80.dll. Any suggestions? Thanks.

At the last iTunes update about a week or so ago, my iTunes quit working. I do not remember the error at the time. I unistalled iTunes and attempted to reinstall. About 95% in the installation, there is an error. I cannot get by it. If I choose to "ignore" the issue, it says iTunes is installed. However, when I try to open iTunes the error: "The program cannot start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I've tried this multiple times with no success. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I have a Toshiba Satelite laptop. Windows 7. Need iTunes 64-bit.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

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.

IDVD disks won't play in home DVD player. They used to

Hi, can you help
I'm using iDVD 5, iMovie 5, saving as disk image, mounting image and burning using Toast 6 to firewire LaCie D2 DVD burner. I have done this many times using same configuration, but not for a while. The disks created will play in the Mac, but not in the home DVD player.
I have tested the burner using a peecee and it creates other types of DVDs OK. This has got me stumped because I don't seem to be doing anything I haven't done before. I've tried different disks, cleaned the DVD player, everything. In addition I have tried burning disks from some old disk images I had saved from previous movie creations. Same result. Is the problem likely to be with Toast?

Still no luck. I have tried using some Verbatim -Rs and have the same results, if not worse, since the disks created won't mount in my Mac either.
In answer to klaus, yes the Mac does recognise the LaCie drive.
I'm starting to think the problem is with iDVD or iMovie since I have tried creating a disk image, copying to my Peecee, running through Shrink to generate a 'clean' series of Video_TS, Audio_TS folders, and burnt them from my peecee, which still doesn't work, even though I know that older and other movies play OK in my DVD player.
