IDVD 7.0.4 Works Abnormal in Snow Leopard (10.6.1)

The iDVD 7.0.4 in My iLife '09 Works Abnormal. My Computer Is iMac 420. The DVD Menu Preview Become Black Screen While I Use a 3D Theme. 2D Theme Looks Fine.
When This Software In a Same OS on My Another iMac (MA199),That's Works Fine. Who Can Tell Me What Problem Is It?

Nihao, Lance & welcome to the forums
I don't experience the same issue on my computer, sorry, so the only thing I can think of is to try deleting the iDVD preferences.plist file to see if there is some corruption that may be contributing to your issue.
Quit iDVD, go to your home folder, then find--> /Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist and delete that file.
Run iDVD and see if that helps.
You may also wish to ask for comments on the iDVD forum at this link:

I took Lion off my Macbook Pro and put Snow Leopard back on and now I can't access Mail or iPhoto. How do I get Mail and iPhoto to work with the Snow Leopard I just put back on?

Hi. I was having slowness problems with my Macbook Pro and thought I would re-install Lion but put Snow Leopard back on by mistake. I bought the computer used with Lion on it and don't have access to the USB drive or a username/password to reinstall Lion. Now I can't access Mail or iPhoto since I put Snow Leopard on.
Is there a way to get my Mail and iPhoto working again with Snow Leopard or do I have to "re-upgrade" to Lion?
Thanks!
Steve

You can't. When you converted those libraries to Lion's format, you lost the ability to go backwards. Unless you saved a bootable backup./clone or Time Machine backup of your previous SL installation, you're up the proverbial creek w/o a paddle.

Font not working after loading snow leopard.

My font named Smash is not working after loading snow leopard. Is there any way to fix this?

I suspect you're talking about a free font called Smash. Read Kurt Lang's paper on font management
<http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html>
and especially his strictures on free Windows fonts. The free Smash is a good example of what his talking about. It's a bad, poorly made font. Trash it ASAP.
If you want to check it with Font Book, use File > Validate File…, then locate smash.ttf and proceed. You cannot use File > Valide Font, because that command works only with installed, 'working' fonts.
For the real font, go to

FF 3.15 worked perfect with Snow Leopard. But everything after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right. On Facebook. And on ALL different language websites. Should I stop using FF? Heard Chrome is good.

[Edit: It should be FF 3.5. I mistyped FF 3.15]
I have MAC OSX Snow Leopard. 10.6.8.
FF 3.5 [apologies; I mistyped 3.15] worked perfect with Snow Leopard. NO problems.
But '''everything''' after that, till FF 8, crashes left and right.
Facebook crashes the most within few short seconds.
And NO different language websites even open.
I read online to use Safe Mode and try. I did. No change.
I read online to reset font cache or or something using atsUtil from the Terminal. I did. Nothing.
It is super frustrating. Same problem in my wife's Mac as well.
Should I stop using FF? I heard Chrome is good.

Please help Apple??? It worked fine with Snow Leopard??

I recently upgraded to Lion and now cant see my Windows 7 laptop in network? Or see my macbook Air 2010 on my win7 laptop. Please help Apple??? It worked fine with Snow Leopard??

You're not addressing Apple here, you are addressing a user based community. An Apple employee may read your post but he/she will not officially respond to it.
You didn't say if your networking is Wi-Fi or USB Dongle based so I'm assuming Wi-Fi in this response. If you do a search of the forums you will find that quite a few are having Wi-Fi issues with Lion--things that worked fine with Snow Leopard are flakey or don't work at all with Lion so your problem may be another instance of the Wi-Fi issues in Lion. If not, then perhaps someone with knowledge of your specific issue will post. I see my other Macs (MBP, 24" iMac, 27" iMac all running Lion) fine but I don't have a PC to test.

HT4864 I must install Snow Leopard to use iCloud fully. Is IMovie 6 and iDVD vs 7/0/4 compatible with Snow Leopard?

I must install Snow Leopard to use iCloud fully. Is IMovie 6 and iDVD vs 7.0/4 compatible with Snow Leopard?

You were misinformed. iCloud requires 10.7.2 or later. Snow Leopard is required to upgrade to either Lion or Mountain Lion. See the following for the upgrade path and information to determine if your computer can be upgraded.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Will the newest version of Safari Mavericks work properly with Snow Leopard?

Will the newest version of Safari Mavericks work properly with Snow Leopard?

Are you asking if you can install Mavericks on a machine running Snow Leopard?
Upgrade to Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
Application Compatibility
You can also check which applications are PowerPC by going to the  menu, select About this Mac, click on More info…, then click System Report and select Software/Applications.
If you do decide to upgrade, make sure you do a backup before installing.

HT201250 My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1

My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1
I have tried everything, even buy new external disk from different manufacture.
If I cant get a fix soon, I am downgrading back to SnowL.

Still no luck. I tried all the tricks, reconfiguring TM (remove selected disk option, and re-setting it, and trying different disks). Tried new combo updater, and the newer TM update after that. Tired two different disks too (one is my older firewire WD MyBook 1TB, and my brand new 3tb Seagate GoFlex USB... either one plugged into back of computer - no intermediary devices). I did get the TM buddy wiget and it produced the following log, from the last attempt, where I setup lots of exclusions so that backup quantity was small (under 10gb). Still it failed to complete. Here is that log, for what it is worth:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/TM-Disk/Backups.backupdb
9.56 GB required (including padding), 911.15 GB available
Waiting for index to be ready (101)
Copied 0 files (0 bytes) from volume Mac HD.
Backup canceled.
To prove a point, I will take these disks are run them on my other Tiger and Snow Leopard laptops to prove TM works fine on those with these disks. But I fear the only options are to either have my tech re-install LION... or just have him reinstall SL instead. Im at wits end.

Home computer is Lion, Work computer is Snow Leopard

My home computer is Lion, my work computer is Snow Leopard. My work computer needs to stay Snow Leopard becuase of a major program which runs the presspress department is not supported with Lion yet - so I cannot upgrade yet. I also jsut got an iPhone and want to use iCloud so that all three of those two computers and my iPhone sync together.
So, if I use iCloud for my home and my iPhone, what does that do to my work computer running Snow Leopard? Can I still get my mail just like I always do through "Mail" at work? I guess I just need to know what will change for my work (Snow Leopard) iMac?

You do not lose your mail account when MobileMe terminates in June. However, when you move to iCloud you will not be able to sync your calendar or contacts with the Snow Leopard computer. You may want to read the following:

I have a MacBook White. Everything worked great with Snow Leopard including Mathematica, and all Pogo games. I downloaded Lion two days ago and now neither program works. The box states that I need J/Link, and/or java runtime. Help.

I have a MacBook White, early 2009 model, just downloaded/installed OS X Lion. Everything worked well with Snow Leopard - Mathematica, pogo.com games. Now, with Lion, I am getting a box that states I need J/Link, and/or java runtime. Software update feature states all software is up to date. Help.

What about the incredable lag time from clicking on a program to the time it opens (or the time till the loading screen starts)? I wish I could record it and play it so I could see if thats normal from other members... the icon just sitting there for over 35 second (I just counted 36 till the loading screen popped up) at first I thought it was me not clicking hard enought cuz the mouse button I have is real stiff (any ideas on that?) but no it takes that long just to get to the app loading screen... this happens every time same amount of time with the 3 programs I use the most, prolly more but I know for a fact world of warcraft, uTorrent, and Google Chrome. I would just chalk it up to slow hardware but they load real quick in windows 7 and once this bad spot is loaded the program runs so fast and nice afterword. Maybe some tweeks? I wonder if this would happen in Snow?
The coment "few outdated programs" Ive seen alot its not just a few its a lot and since games are not Apple's strong point I would think they would want to keep as many as they could...
An example of the rants you will see from a lot here. Don't be put off as these problems are generally user specific, and these same old comments come out after the release of every OSX I can remember. When Lion is upgraded to the next OSX you can gaurentee these forums will be full of people screaming about how great Lion was. Happened with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard.
So come to think of it you may be better off Googling sites that give you unbiased views on Lion, rather than expect any positive comments here. For every one complaint there are probably 100,000 people with no issues.
Cheers

IDVD not working right with Snow Leopard...a possible fix

I was having the following issue with iDVD and my new fresh install on a new hard drive of snow leopard 10.6.4:
iDVD would open to the screen where you chose what you want to do
I would click create a new project and get to name it
Nothing would happen but I knew the program was still running. I could see it in the activity monitor
I would go to quit iDVD and it would ask me to save changes and the beach ball would start spinning and I would have to force quit from the dock
Then I found this post after looking litterally all day for a fix....these instructions worked for me and my iDVD is now working normally...
(1) Go this folder:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Framew orks/
(2) There should be 3 aliases there:
ImageIO.framework
ImageKit.framework
QuartzComposer.framework
(3) In my case, the QuartzComposer.framework was actually a folder. I removed this and created a new alias to
/System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzComposer .framework
After making the new alias, iDVD now works just fine. Not sure why this frameworks folder had become damaged like this. I am hoping that there are no negative effects on any of my other applications, but I've kept a backup of the original folder just in case.
I moed the quartzcomposer folder to 2 levels back and made an alias and put it in the A/frameworks folder and viola...iDVD worked for me! I am a happy mac user now

Thanks, had exactly the same problem.
Switched to administrator
$ su adminusername
Navigated to the folder
$ cd /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works
Listed the contents of the folder
$ ls -le@
Renamed the folder QuartzComposer.framework
$ sudo mv QuartzComposer.framework/ QuartzComposer.framework.old/
Replaced with a symbolic link to the correct framework
$ sudo ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QuartzCompose r.framework /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GraphicsAppSupport.framework/Versions/A/Frame works
iDVD works!!!

IWork is all white and doesn't work properly with Snow Leopard

Whenever I open Pages or Numbers 09, everything is displayed as white. The text colour is black but I can't see the blinking text mouse icon (which looks like I). I can open templates and can only see the text when I highlight it otherwise the screen is white and I cant even type in a blank document. It all worked fine until I installed Snow Leopard.
I had similar problems with iMovie and iDVD 09 with transparencies not working. Could this be a problem with the graphics driver for my Nvidia 8800 GT? Or is there another way to fix it?

Apple's instructions are:
*Transferring files from one account to another on the same Mac*
*You can use your Shared folder:*
1) Log in to the account you wish to copy files from.
2) In the Finder, navigate to the Shared folder. It is located in the Users folder.
Copy any files or folders you wish to the Shared folder, such as items on your desktop, in your Documents folder, in your Music folder, and so forth. You may be asked to enter an administrator password when copying certain items. Note: To ensure that you copy items (as opposed to moving items), hold the Option key as you drag files to the Shared folder. Depending on item permissions, some files or folders will copy by default, some may move by default.
3) Log out of the current account.
4) Log in to the new account (that you are transferring files to).
5) In the Finder, navigate to the Shared folder. It is located in the Users folder.
Copy any files or folders you wish from the Shared folder to the desired locations, such as desktop, Documents folder, Music folder, and so forth. You may be asked to enter an administrator password when copying certain items.
And I'll add an additional step and a warning:
6) Having copied the files to the new account, Get Info, and change the ownership of them to your new account name. The easiest way to do this is to select each folder inside the user folder (ie Documents, Pictures etc). These should have the permission set properly to the new account owner. Click on the gear icon and select Apply to Enclosed Items
The Warning
It is safe to copy the contents of your Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies and Sites folders but since the problem is likely to be inside the user Library folder it isn't a good idea to copy it. You can probably safely copy your Safari bookmarks (not the entire Safari folder), Calendars, and Mail (but open the folder and delete the Bundles folder inside because it contains Mail plug-ins which might be the problem). I'd be very leery of copying any more than this since doing so might copy the problem into the new user folder. I often copy a one or two items from the Library folder at a time, restart, and then if all seems okay, copy a couple more. But I never copy the Preferences which means re-serializing a lot of programs and one or two programs might need to be reinstalled. The Applications Support folder is another one that may not be safe to copy over, but then again may be. It is one that I move into my new Library folder a couple folders at a time.
In short, moving items into the new account via the Public folder is, itself quite easy though you do need to be sure to that the ownership gets changed to the new account. As I said, the data is easy and safe. The Library is where the problems tend to be.
Incidentally it might seem easier to keep the old account and just moving the user Library elsewhere since that's where the problem is living. I've found that it isn't such a good idea for a number of reasons. Copying to the new account may be more time consuming but safer and in the long run better.

Help! I've spent hours researching this and can't find a solution...
I upgraded 3 Intel Macs in the house to Snow Leopard last weekend. All went differently...but all were successful. I found that the connection to my HP Officejet 7410 (connected wirelessly to 802.11g Airport Express (AEX) network) was "broken". Deleted then "re-intalled". Documents could now be printed. I then found out scan function was "broken". Figured out how to scan with new Snow Leopard "baked-in" driver and Scan tab...different, but it worked.
Then, tonight, on the eve of my birthday, I was given the green light to purchase an Airport Extreme 802.11n (dual-band) base station (AEBS). I set it up and got 2.5X speed on the two 802.11n laptops in the household. Glorious! Then I went to work to ensure print and scan functions were still operational. Tried to re-connect HP OJ 7410 to wireless network...when it found the network it asked for the "WEP" key (on previous AEX network I was secured utilizing WPA2/Personal)...I entered the WPA2/Personal password (same as previous network) and got the error message "Key must be 5 or 13 characters OR 10 or 26 length with 0-9 and A-F (hex)". So I turned off the wireless radio and instead plugged the 7410 into the AEBS via USB. Deleted the previous queue and re-installed. Found the printer no problem but now without the Scan tab or function anywhere...despite following all the recommendations found both on the HP site and here in the Apple Forums. I print fine. Can't for the life of me figure out what the problem with the now lost again Scan function is.
Only strangeness I can think of is the following: When setting up the network(s), I had the option of naming the 5 ghz band something different. I set mine up with the same name of the 2.4 ghz network with 5ghz in parenthesis (i.e. BobbyG and BobbyG (5 Ghz)).
Sorry for the long post but we need the scan function in the house for my wife's teaching purposes. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
Very Respectfully,
Bobby G.
