Idvd does not launch

iDVD will not launch for some reason. I'm just getting the bouncing icon in the dock. It was working fine and it allowed me to burn a few dvds but not it won't start up at all. I click on the application icon and all i get is the top idvd menu and the color wheel (hour glass). They actual program won't run and the only way to stop it is to force quit :-(  I am using iDVD verison 7.1.2 ... i normally would uninstall and reinstall but my imac didn't come with the disk. Please help

Hi
Most probably there was something in last iDVD project that iDVD can not handle e.g. strange Video Codec or Audio file format or Photo file format. So try to start iDVD so that it makes a brand new project and put in one piece at a time - then Save as a DiskImage to test to see that all is OK.
• To start iDVD so that it has to create a new project. Click on iDVD icon WHILE KEEPING alt-key down during up-start. Then Start a new project.

  • IDVD does not start

    With the launching of iDVD6, the loading of the topics the programe stop.
    I am obliged to force to leave (iDVD does not answer any more)
    Have you a sollution
    Thank you and excuse me for the bad language I am French

    Hi N
    iDVD takes a while to start up.
    How do you know that iDVD doesn't answer any more ? Using activity monitor ?
    Well Activity monitor isn't to rely on in all circumstances. When rendering in
    iMovie and coding in iDVD it indicates that either of them is not answering but
    they are running as normal as ever. Just wait.
    If iDVD doesn't start up the most common origin is that the user has installed
    new programs but not run "repair permissions" with Apple Util tool.
    As no:2 I would locate iDVD pref file and move it to desktop Then restart iDVD.
    Still not working: I would start a new account, logg-out of this-one and into
    the new one (it forces Mac OS to create several new pref files).
    Now it should run.
    What Mac are You using, processor, speed, RAM, free space on hard disk,
    Mac OS version, iDVD version and QT version ?

  • The "edit in" does not launch if I make any develop changes.  I am using LR 5.6 and all of my plug ins are properly installed, up to date and were working just fine.  Edit in does work if I reset the image or load an unmodified DNG.

    I am using LR5.6 on a Windows 7 machine with plenty of memory.  LR, CS5 and all of my plug ins have been working just fine.  Tonight I've found that if I make any kind of significant adjustments to an image, and the go to "Edit in.." that function does not launch.  I can use the Edit in command on an unmodified image, or if I reset the modified image.  I have the issue with all of my plug ins, including Photoshop, all of the Nik software, RadLab, and OnOne.  I believe that all of the plug ins are current.  I've been working with them yesterday and I had no issue.  I cannot recall anything that has changed since then, and I have not installed any software.  I'm at a loss!!  Please help!

    I have traced the problem to a corrupted profile.  When I captured the images in question, I also used Color Cherckr to create a profile for processing.  When I apply that profile to the adjustments I make, I can no longer "Edit In".  If I use another profile, even one that I created using Color Checkr at a different point in time, I don't have the issue.  Something seems to have corrupted the new profile.  I will re-create the profile and see if the issue is resolved.

  • HT1941 Hi i have recently updated my version of iTunes in order to sync music from my macbook air to my new ipod shuffle. After a successful installation the application does not launch and I am unable to oepn iTunes of access my music! Someone please hel

    Hi,
    I have recently updated my iTunes to the latest version in order to sync music onto my new ipod shuffle. However after a successful installation the application does not launch or open? There are no error messages. The application is just unresponsive.
    I have already checked the compatibility with Safari, my operating system and checked my firewall is not blocking it - all is fine.
    Does anyone have any other resolutions?
    Many thanks

    Hi Carolyn,
    Thank you for your time and response. The trouble is I am unable to launch iTunes? I have restarted my macbook air a number of times to try and initiate the application but the issue persists and the application remains unresponsive. Will not launch?
    Thanks

  • "Big Bridge" does not launch with Mini Bridge

    When I open Photoshop and launch Mini-Bridge, it does not launch "big bridge."  The littel wheel turns around and a note says "waiting for Bridge CS5," but Bridge CS5 never opens.  The little wheel keeps turning around and keeps waiting and waiting.  I have gone into settings and tried both settings.  1. Open Bridge automatically when Mini-Bridge starts.  2.  Do not start Bridge until browse files is checked.  On either setting, Bridge still will not launch.  Does this call for a re-install of Photoshop?  Need advice.  Thanks

    I have not kept up on this issue.  There was quite a discussion on the topic in the Photoshop Forum when CS5 came out, but issues must have been resloved as have not see anythiing on it for awhile.
    Make sure you have the latest Bridge and PS updates.  The use the search fuction (many times google is faster) and read some of the replies.

  • Using Calendar client version 4.6 on Unix to connect to Calendar Server 4.0, I get a core dump and the client does not launch

    I am using Communicator Pro with Enterprise Calendaring, Calendar client 4.6,
    and when I attempt to launch it I immediately get a core dump and it does not
    launch.
    <P>
    The 4.6 motif client is not able to run against the 4.0 Calendar Server.
    It is strongly recommended that you use the 4.61 motif Calendar client (bundled with the 4.7
    Communicator Pro release) or 4.51/4.52 against Calendar Server 4.0. There are
    known problems when going offline while using the 4.5 client on any platform
    against the 4.0 Server. Both the 4.51 Windows and the 4.52 motif clients have
    repaired this problem.

    You can get Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

  • When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help,  Bruce

    A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

  • Lookout 6.1 build 27 OPCClient does not launch the Opto 22 OPC SEVER

    In the same computer, with the same Lookout 6.1 a few weeks ago, I had communication between Opto 22 OPC Server and Lookout using the OPCClient in Lookout. Settings in OPCClient were for a really fast scanning rate (50 milliseconds) and de deadband was set to zero in order to see all the inputs changes with the best resolution. These I/O units are Opto PAC EB2 brains, and the OPC Server belongs to the suite of PAC 8.0 (I tried also 8.1) of Opto 22. The I/O Configuration and the OPC configuration was done with the same OPTO22 software version.This was a test done in order to see if I can get 20 samples per second from all the I/O's. It did go well, even a little faster than required. It was informed to my bosses, then I had the 'go' for the project I'm working on. That was the main concern of everyone here; the fast communication between Lookout an the Hardware.
    The computer runs windows XP SP2, has two ethernet ports; one with dynamic IP address on motherboard (for the company network), and a PCI ethernet cad with a fixed IP address in the range of the IP addresses of the Opto 22 brains dedicated to talk to these I/O units.
    I called first to the tech support of OPTO 22. They shown me how to double check and to launch manually the OPC Server, there is a tester software for it. The OPC Server was launched and I saw it in the task manager under processes tab.
    When I create the object in Lookout, it does not see the server, neither launches the server. I can see the data members of the OPCClient, but I can not see the variables or tags from the server.
    Again, it did work a few weeks before in the same PC, with the same Lookout and the same Opto 22 as a test. Now I need to add the OPCClient to my application and make the corresponding connections, but I can't.
    This is becoming a kind of hurry, time is running and the application can not get to work.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    When the OPC Client object is created, I can select the OPTO22OPCSever.2 in the dropdown list of servers. It is there, and the object can be configured normally. I must see in the object explorer (expanding the OPCClient object) the tags configured in OPTO 22 Server,but they are not there. The Client object only shows its data members. Once Lookout is open with the OPCClient, the task manager/services does not show Opto22OPCSever.exe running, that tells me that Lookout's client does not launch the server and that's why it does not show the tags configured in the server.
    I have uninstalled Opto 22 software and re-installed, I called Opto 22 tech support and they shown me a way to launch manually the server, even how to monitor some of the values of its tags. I saw the Opto22OPCServer.exe in the processes list of the task manager, I read values of some tags with the OPC tester, To me, the server side is working fine.
    Then, I installed Lookout .During this process there was an error 1922 and a message saying that files mssgl.mdf, mssgl.mdl, and mssgl.ldl are not found, These files must be located in C:\ Program Files\ National Instruments\Lookout 6.1\ Database. During the first installation of Lookout 6.1, I followed the instructions in the README file, where some specific commands must be typed in the run windows and executed to create the database properly. It was done, no errors were displayed during the first installation.
    The thing is that this OPCClient/OPCServer DID WORK before. For some reason it does not work NOW.
    this computer didn't have any previous version of Lookout installed, there is no possible old database messing here.
    Again; the computer runs windows XP SP2, it has a dual core processor.

  • IDVD will not launch in iMovie HD 5.0.2

    The iDVD will not launch as a notice says it won't launch with my version of osx. I want to be able to burn DVDs but can't. Suggestions???

    If you want to use the iLife programs,per Niels response on your other post, you need to upgrade to iLife '06. Looking at the requirements, iLife '06 is the only version you can upgrade to, as iLife '08 and later require Intel processors for iMovie and other functions. One place you can buy it from is: http://hardcoremac.stores.yahoo.net/ilife06.html .
    There are some freebie DVD burning programs available, however, you lose the integration that the iLife programs bring with them.
    Roxio makes several programs that will burn DVD's. I've used Toast Titanium for years and can recommend it. See http://www.roxio.com/

  • Clicking on program icon does not launch program

    I just purchased my new 21.5" iMac and when clicking on an existing app, the app does not launch. I am using the new Magic Mouse; also, when hitting enter key on highlighted app it still does not launch. Eben if I hav e Pages launched and an open doc as an icon, clicking on the icon does not open it.
    It worked very well under my MPB 17" using SL 10.6.2! What gives? Do I have to return this machine already?

    OK. here goes: Most of the Apple Apps, either on the dock, in the Finder (in list view or any other view), or on the Desktop do NOT respond to double-clicks to get them going!
    For example, I live on Preview, yet when I double-click a PDF file, nothing happens; Preview does not load and the document does not open. I can start the document by either holding down the Control key and Open with.....
    I have owned six Apple computers during the past 8 years and have never come across such weird behavior! I am really not to bugged by this as this is with a brand new iMac 21" but it would be a shame to have to return this because of this odd behavior.
    I have a template of Pages on my Destiop, yet I double-click on it nothing happens; Pages does not load nor does the document open.
    Other Apps do start up normally.
    I powered the machine down; I ran and fixed Permissions. I do not know what else to do. I know it cannot be the MM as it works flawlessly on everything else.
