IDVD crashes on my iMac 24'' with Leopard

However, iDVD crashes on my iMac 24'' (old version). It works fine on my MacBook.
I tried a lot of things including reinstalling and updating to Leopard 10.5.1 and iDVD 7.0.1. But still is crashing after start. As I would like to burn my marriage I really need to have it running.
Any further help is welcome. I feel that the NVidia driver for Leopard are **bad**

Hi iscger,
I've had the same problem, only after having kernel panics first.
You might find usefull information in the following topic.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1203323&tstart=0
Somewhere near the end I have posted a summary.
Just to my interest. Did iDVD work at first? Have you created a project already? Or did iDVD freeze the first time you used it.

  • Aperture 3.0.1 Crashing...iMac I7 with 8GB RAM

    I upgraded from Aperture 2.0 to v3.0, and then today to v3.0.1. The version is crashing every few minutes. The previous v2.0 was very stable. The software is running on iMac I7 with 8GB RAM. This is one of the worst software I have ever used. Apple should be ashamed of launching a buggy product.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    I'm not familiar with this particular plug-in (I don't even use Smugmug), so please take this as a general comment.
    It's not uncommon for older plug-ins to crash newer versions of the application for which they were originally written. They might partially work, but when you carry out a particular action, they'll cause unexpected behaviour. This is because, for example, assumptions made about the host application when the plug-ins were written are no longer valid with the new version comes out and conflicts arise. It's been 'common' with third-party plug-ins for Safari in the past.
    - +"This new version of Safari is buggy rubbish!!!"+
    - +"No it's not - it's your (now) old plug-ins!!!"+
    Once identified, the solution is usually to uninstall the offending plug-in and wait for the author/publisher to release an updated version.
    The best way to rule out the possibility of the plugin being at fault is to remove it temporarily. The first step is to Quit from your host application - Aperture in this case. The second step is to go to the plug-ins folder(s) and remove anything in there. To ease reinstalling a plugin in case it's found to be innocent, you could, for example, drag it out to the desktop - rather than deleting it. It can then be dragged back in later on. The path is
          /Users/ your-home-directory /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins
    There might also be plug-ins installed at the global equivalent folder:
          /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins
    Of course, sometimes you can get multiple problems and solving one might still leave other +undesirable behaviour+ occurring and requiring further trouble-shooting.
    Hope this helps...

  • Will my new iMac come with Leopard or Tiger?

    Hi,
    I'm going to Uni on Monday and want to finally purchase my Mac now that Leopard has been released.
    My question is: If I order my new Mac on Monday, will it come with Leopard or Tiger?
    In the online store it still states that it will come with Tiger, but maybe this has just not been updated?
    If people don't know the answer, would you happen to know an Apple contact email address or telephone number I can call (in the UK) to check prior to ordering?

    Are you sure you want to get a Mac with Leopard preloaded?
    It may actually not be compatible with some of the software you depend on, and will have no chance of being so (unless the product is updated) because Macs historically have only been able to use the operating system they ship with and newer operating systems, and we are still learning which products need updates for Leopard.
    The online store has a phone number in the upper left hand corner:

  • Repeated Freezes & Crashes! 27" iMac 2011 with 256 GB SSD & 2 TB HD

    I did a search to see how widespread the freezing problem is that I've experienced since the day I bought my 2011 iMac with SSD and 2 TB HD on September 6, 2012. I've had the machine in to Apple (no result); completed clean reinstall of the system after erasing the SSD, now at least 3 times; worked for over 3 months with what has become my own personal AppleCare senior advisor; had AppleCare Senior advisors capture data for analysis by engineers -- all to no effect.  Before I left for a week-long business trip last week, the Senior Advisor and I were suspecting that Mail was my main culprit, but along the way various advisors have suspected video memory, Migration Assistant, Evernote, and numerous other sources.
    This morning, I had the typical freeze; only, after forcing shut down and rebooting, the machine would not get past the grey screen with logo and spinning gear. The senior AppleCare advisor had me initiate yet another clean install. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind. Is there ever a point where Apple decides that they will just replace a machine?
    I have lost many libraries of photos and HUNDREDS OF HOURS trying to get this machine to work properly and have yet to have the machine I paid for function cleanly.
    I'm losing my respect for Apple after 30 years of dedicated trust.
    I should be getting a call-back from the Senior Advisor in 15 minutes. Can anyone share anything that would give me hope?

    Ever? The short answer is yes. The somewhat longer answer is that deciding just when to do that is ultimately up to Apple.
    If you are using any third party products that modify OS X, such as the Drobo or any anti-virus utility, then don't reinstall any of them after restoring your iMac to a factory new, unmodified condition. Such system modifications alter OS X in ways Apple cannot predict or control.
    If your Mac operates normally without them, you found the problem.

  • Front Row a complete failure on new 24" iMac aluminum with Leopard.

    One of the features I have enjoyed on my recent Macs, Front Row, is now one of the biggest disappointments on my latest iMac. Each movie will start by showing the usual progress bar extending to the extreme right (2.29 minutes,it would seem,) but then the actual movie clip stops and starts, sometimes in ten second increments. While all this is going on, the progress bar will indicate repeated progress out to the extreme right end of the bar, but it is then followed by the small segments of the clip, sometimes as many as ten segments until it finally reaches the end and puts me out of my misery. Anyone else experiencing this or has Steve singled me out for some rather cruel and unusual punishment ?

    The strange thing is that Front Row works just fine on my Apple TV.
    The application on the Apple TV is called "Back Row" inside Apple. I don't think this will have anything to do with Front Row on your Mac. (Except for the fact that both might share some music files, movies and pictures from your Mac.) But if your movies files do play on the Apple TV, it might indicate a problem with iTunes, QuickTime or Front Row on your Mac. All of those parts need to work together for Front Row to function correctly.

  • IPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie don't work with Leopard

    Hi, I just installed Leopard onto my machine and iPhoto, iDVD and iMovie no longer work properly. For all three I get the error message "(This program) has unexpectedly quit." Can you help?

    my husband was having the same problem and it even bled into his sys prefs. the problems actually started after he ran software update last night (things were working find before that, and he's running leopard btw)
    he archived and reinstalled (he unchecked the "preserve users and settings box") and we're about to find out if that solved it.
    to summarize, you may need to reinstall if software update doesn't fix it. not sure what caused this problem. perhaps some corruption of files?

    I have not yet tried reloading iPhoto from my original install disks, as I thought I read somewhere in the various Discussions forums, that Leopard would not recognise such a low version of iPhoto.
    Can anyone comment on this before I have to buy an up-to-date version of iLife, if a reload of iPhoto 2.0.1 is not successful.
    Thanks for reading this post and I look forward to any replies.

    same problem here.
    coincidentally or not, i noticed lack of access to iPhoto after installing Leopard on G4 Powerbook. i simply get "The application iPhoto quit unexpectedly" warning, and am asked to Relaunch, which yields the same message.
    Get Info tells me it's Version 2.0.1 of iPhoto.
    access to iPhoto library is also blocked, as when trying to change Desktop photo through System Preference. names of albums and folders in iPhoto appear to the list on the left, but icons to the left of the album names, and the albums themselves, are empty.
    no such problem on iMac G5 with Leopard. don't know version of iPhoto there.

  • Printer Sharing with Leopard

    Hi,
    I just got a new iMac 24" with Leopard, and I'm really excited about it, but Printer Sharing is having a major problem! I don't know if this is a problem with the printer or the computer, but it is really getting on my nerves. For example, I am printing through my family's Windows computers fine, as well as my iBook 24", but after the first document prints, an error message shows up and says "Printer offline", but when I look at the printer it says, "Ready." I have figured out that if I press "Pause" and then "Resume" again, it will connect. But before I do that, it just sits there and does nothing. With my iBook, I can share my Epson printer just fine...It works perfectly! So do I need to change the settings on my printer or computer? I have a HP LaserJet 4000 Series printer, and so it's pretty old, but it works great, and I'd love to get another year or two out of it. Is there a script or something that I can do to fix this? I have tried Automator, it doesn't even work when I press "Watch what I do" or whatever. Thanks for your help!

    your doing better than I am - we are still trying to connect to a printer on a windows (XP) machine- via a wireless connection. DO you remember how you did this?
    We already went to the windoes machine and set the printer to share. When I try to add it to the macbook, it shows me the computer- but not the printer.
    Puzzled in Ky.

  • VOIP bluetooth with Leopard?

    Can anyone recommend a VOIP bluetooth earpiece that will work on a iMac Intel with Leopard installed for use with Skype?
    Thanks!

    There's no such thing as a 'VoIP Bluetooth earpiece'.
    There are 'Bluetooth earpieces', but the earpiece itself has no concept of what it's talking to - whether it's a phone, a computer, or anything else. And it doesn't do VoIP itself, that's up to whatever it's connected to.
    Additionally, Skype (like most other VoIP applications) lets you define the audio input and output devices. This can be set to any device registered with the computer.
    Therefore if you have a Bluetooth headset paired to your Mac, then Skype will identify that and allow you to use it as either an audio in (microphone) or audio out (speaker) device, or both.
    So any headset you can pair with your Mac will work. I've used several over the years and don't have any recommendations - they've all worked, so pick a headset that has the features you value most (e.g. noise cancelling, dual pairing (so you can use it for both your cellphone and your computer), battery life, aesthetics, etc.).

  • Freezing/crash of iMac under Snow Leopard when backup with Time Machine

    Hi!
    The backup on my external hard drive with Time Machine cannot be completed.
    After few ten Go out of 360Go the backup stops suddenly and the computer freezes/crashes.
    I have got an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 − 64 bit. The external hard drive is a LaCie 500Go.
    Also, backups for another Apple computer can be done with this LaCie external drive. So, it is not the cause of the freezing/crash of the iMac.
    I tried to solve this problem applying the following steps:
    1- I started with the installation disk.
    2- I repaired the internal iMac drive and the permissions with the Disk Utilities soft on the installation disk. All was OK.
    3- The LaCie drive was erased, formatted again with one GUID partition (500Go) and the disk verified. All was OK.
    4- I re-install the OS with the installation disk -> 10.6 Snow Leopard
    5- Updates to 10.6.8, etc… security update 2012-004 and the 13th Java update to v1.6.
    6- I deleted in the folder /Library/Preferences the file com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    7- I deleted the file com.apple.finder.plist in the administrator account Preferences folder.
    8- The iMac was shutdowned as well as the external LaCie drive.
    9- I restarted and changed the name of the external LaCie drive.
    10- I choose the LaCie backup drive with Preferences System > Time Machine with right exclusions.
    Unfortunately, the problem remained and the backup was again unsuccessful followed by another freezing/crash of the iMac.
    So how to solve this problem?
    Here is what I obtained from the system.log with the Console utility (crash/freezing at: 10:48):

  • My iMac Seagate 1T hard drive crashed. I replaced it with a Western Digital 1T hard drive. Where can I get the Lion OS?

    My iMac Seagate 1T hard drive crashed. I replaced it with a Western Digital 1T hard drive. Where can I get the Lion OS?
    The iMac comes up with a ? in a folder, even after starting with Option/Command/R keys pressed.
    Please help.

    Call Apple to purchase replacement discs or order a copy of Snow Leopard from Apple's Online Store. Follow these instructions:
    Drive Preparation and Install Snow Leopard
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. When completed quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard. Once you boot from Snow Leopard you should open Software Update and install all the available updates required. After you complete this and restart the computer open the App Store application in the Dock or Applications folder.
    8. Sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password. Purchase and download Lion.
    9. After Lion's installer downloads, install Lion.

  • 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.

  • My iMac with Leopard does not see Vista PCs on the network

    My iMac with Leopard cannot see any of my Vista PCs on my network. I have an older G5 iMac (tiger) and the Leopard system see that one just fine. My older G5 sees my Leopard mac and all of the Vista computers. I just want the Leopard mac to see the Vista computers. Please help.

    I'm having the same problem. It was literally working one minute and not the next. I also had this issue with my MBP but it was never resolved. I can ping the vista machine but not connect to the folder structure. This is really annoying because my vista machine is acting as a server and I need to remote desktop from the iMac to the windows machine.
    Any ideas people?

  • Problem with networking HP Laserjet 1100 with Leopard with new Intel iMac

    I have an HP Laserjet 1100 that I have used with my old iMac running Panther. I had used the HPIJS drivers in the past with the HP Laserjet 5 driver selected. It worked flawlessly. I use IPP to connect to the printer via a printer server.
    I have purchased a new iMac which is Intel based and runs Leopard. I am having a lot of trouble getting this printer to work with it. I went to the website referenced above and installed Ghostscript, Foomatic RIP and then finally HPIJS. As I add the printer, it gave me the option to select an HP Laserjet 1100 printer (from the HPIJS set). When I add the IP address, it says it is valid. When I try to print, there is no response; the job just times out. I had the same problem with the Gutenprint driver that was installed with Leopard.
    Finally, I tried the HP Laserjet 6 from the HPIJS driver set. It had the word "recommended" next to it which was intriguing. It too did not work.
    I would appreciate any help.
    Steve Kirchner

    I'm afraid that Ghostscript, etc. are PPC only applications and any printer plug-ins they install will not work on an Intel Mac. You should uninstall all the third-party stuff you've installed for the printer, then only use the included printer driver installed by OS X unless HP has a universal binary driver compatible with OS X and Intel Macs. You might try using LPD rather than IPP for the printer.

Maybe you are looking for
