IDVD Freezes when creating new project!?

Hi all,
When I open iDVD, it give me the main screen, I click Create New Project. The window comes up, but it has trouble opening the stuff inside the window, and does the dreaded rainbow ball.. Never comes out of it. I have to force quit it to get out.
-for any ppl who want it.. here is a sample of it freezing useing Activity Moniter. http://home.comcast.net/~samkirsch/iDVD.txt
please help!

Quit iDVD.
Locate a file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and get rid of it. iDVD will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permission repair using the Disk Utility.
The files can be found here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist

  • Imovie freezing when creating new project?

    My imovie app- seems to be freezing the loading icon won't go away - all other functions seem to be working but when I create a new movie and add a movie clip- it starts to freeze and the pop up new movie window just keeps on coming back up when I try to add a clip. Then it just does not respond to any prompts and I have to force quit.  I also did delete a few projects earlier to free up space & it just seems like all the projects have been deleted.  I tried restarting but that did not work. Any suggestions?

    Have you tried deleting iMovie preferences? Home-library-preferences-com.apple.iMoviepref

  • IMovie HD nor iDVD will not create new project.....

    Anyone know of any issues why iMovie HD and iDVD are not able to open projects or create new projects? iMovie HD just stops "loading" the new project and freezes, and iDVD gives me an error code:

    I am having this same problem. I am able to import the film, and iMovie seems to be fully functional with a very short movie, just a few frames. When I click on a clip after I've imported an hour's worth of film, iMovie crashes and doesn't even ask me if I want to report the problem. I tried saving the file then quitting iMovie, and when I opened the file again all of the clips were in the trash.

  • BUG:  Advanced Actions duplicated when creating NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8.

    Need:  CREATE NEW PROJECTS FROM TEMPLATE using Adobe Captivate 8. 
    Problem:  NEW PROJECT (.cptx) duplicates the Advanced Actions originally configured within TEMPLATE FILE (.cpt.).
    For example: Template file (.cptl) advanced action "_initializeModule" gets duplicated as "_initializeModule1", "_initializeModule2", "_initializeModule3" within NEW PROJECT.  FYI, the original "_initializeModule" advanced action still appears.
    MAJOR BUG, what the heck is going on?!?!!!  Planning to deploy this template file to use for multiple courses with multiple users, this WILL cause epic confusion across the board.

    Similar problem, think they are working on it as well: when dragging a shared action from an external library to a slide or object event, and that action is using a parameter that was already created for another shared action, there will be a new parameter created which really screws up the shared action contrary to this problem. Tip: for the moment do not drag shared actions from an external library immediately to an event, but drag them first to the Library: Reuse Shared Actions in other Projects - Captivate 7 vs. 8 - Captivate blog

  • Photoshop CS4  shuts down only when creating new project.

    I've had CS4 web premium since nov. 08 and everything worked fine until the most recent update from adobe.
    I ONLY have this problem with Photoshop cs4: when creating a new project after selecting the aspects (name, width, hight, etc.) when you press ok it shuts down and no error is given as to why it shut down, it just does.
    opening documents that had been created prior to the last update isn't a problem, I'm able to do everything Photoshop cs4 has to offer.
    I can also open a file started in another program and edit them in PS CS4 (ie: fireworks , or AI).
    but for some reason if I want to start a project in photoshop it just shuts down, never used to happen. any clues? any one else have a similar problem and know how to fix this?
    running on windows XP

    I think you mean a new docuement - Photoshop doesn't have "projects".
    Photoshop shouldn't "shut down" - there should be some message about a crash.
    And the most likely causes at that point are OpenGL (try turning it off in prefs) and your default printer driver (try changing default printers).

  • VS 2013 - Settings lost when creating new project

    I am having this is odd issue with my VS 2013 settings.  I setup VS 2013 with all my custom settings and colors.  I can open and existing project and my settings with be there.  If I create a new project all my settings are gone.  I
    backed them up so I can import them and everything looks correct again.  Is there something I need to do to make the settings permanent?

    Thanks for Kulasangar's help.
    Hi heffer86,
    Like Kulasangar's suggestion, the real issue would be related to how you custom settings and colors in your VS IDE. For example, generally some settings under TOOLS->Options->font and Color or color theme like the following screen shot in
    VS IDE, it would be saved to your current VS settings file, so it still have the same feature if you create a new project with the same settings.
    But certain settings just were used for your current projects, I mean that they are not saved to your current VS settings file. So it would change to the previous settings if you create a new project. So you would check the
    real settings file and make sure that which settings are saved to this file.
    Or you didn't enable the settings when you export the settings file, so it would have this issue when you use this settings file next time.
    Best Regards,
    Jack

  • Showing GL, PA Period error when create new Project

    Hi All,
    I am facing an Issue while creating a Project through Template, though I have opened PA Periods and GL Periods of current, but still showing following error
    "Cannot copy a budget to a period which is out of the range of system defined periods (e.g. PA period or GL period)"
    Please help me in resolving this.
    Regads
    Madhu

    Hi
    I assume your template budget has periods within the range dates of the template project, between the start date and the completion date of the project.
    When you copy the template to create a new project, enter the start date of the new project as the start date of the template. If your project start date is different from the template start date, the system will try to more the end date, and may also try to move the budget periods, so those will keep the same lenght, but starting from the new project start date. In those case you might be creating budgets in other periods then the original template budget.

    I had the same issue then I found out all you have to do is to set the default view to List before opening any previous or new project and it worked, credit goes to this user below who found the solution.
    ahmedMac25
    I was able to resolve by workaround:
    1. Closed all open applications
    2. relaunch Finder
    3. run  sudo find / -name ".DS_Store"  -exec rm {} \;
    4. this removes all  .DS_Store old files on the computer
    5. launch finder and set default view to "LIST VIEW" as shown here:http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/Setting-Finder-Views-For-Folders-And-Su b-Folders_2.htm
    5. rerun the offending application and file chooser works

  • "Multiple Validation errors" message when creating new project in   FCPX

    As a test I have now managed to change the file format from older quicktime file to .m4v and  import into FCPX.  I had to use Handbrake to change the file format to .m4v. If a free software can do this then why can't the $300 FCPX - and allow me to import directly?  This would save me MANY hours of extra work!
    But then, when I try and edit this - first trying to create a new project  I get the message "Multiple validation errors occurred"  The same message even if I try and custon settings rather than use the default
    Does this mean that after all the work and hours it took me to tarnscode the file format, import and then render etc - I will be unable to use FCPX - to edit this footage?

    Update on trying to create a new project - and getting "Multiple Validation errors" message
    I quit FCPX and tried to use iMovie to make a clip to send to you.  Decided against this - and so I opened FCPX again
    To my surprise there were now over ten projects - as every attempy had appeared!  This is bizarre - why did they not show up when I tried to create them first? 
    So, I had to delet most and just use one.  This appears to be working as a project and is allowing me to edit clips into it.
    It will be a reall bummer though if I have to do this every time I need to create a new project!

  • RoboHelp 7 crashes when creating new project with files from VSS

    RoboHelp crashes when I create a new project and choose to get existing files from Visual Source Safe to load into the project.  Does anyone have a solution to this problem or a suggestion as to why this may be happening?  I'm attaching the errors associated with the crashing.
    Also, we have a very large Help system (985 topics) which compiles into a 46 MB chm file.  Is there a maximum suggested topic size (per topic) and a maximum suggested number of topics per project?  Could this be part of the reason RoboHelp is crashing?  We've always had a large Help system since we started using RoboHelp several years ago but the crashing is a more recent problem.
    Thanks,

  • FCPX not responding when creating new project

    My FCPX isn't responding when I'm trying to create and edit a new project. I can create a new event, import a video in but if I try to play it or create a new project to drop it into it stops responding and all I see is the beachball twirling. I need suggestions and fast. Already erased FCP preferences, did the purge script and repaired disk permissions in case it was a RAM issue. No other programs seem to be having an issue.. and I've been using FCPX just fine for 8 months..HELP
    Final Cut Pro X, Mac OS X (10.8.5)

    Try these general troubleshooting strategies.
    Use this free app to trash the preferences even if you have already done it. This should be the first thing you try when any problems occur.
             http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Shutdown FCP X before you do it.
    2.  Trash Layouts folder. With FCP X shutdown, hold down option key and select Go>Library>Application Support>Final Cut Pro  .  .  .  trash the Layouts Folder.
      3. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
      4. Trash FCP X using this free app and reinstall it.
          http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
      5. If these 4 measures don't work, create a new User Account (Admin) in System    Preferences and try running FCP X from that as it sometimes works miracles.

  • Video Format when Creating New Project

    I'm using iMovie HD v. 6.0.3 and I'm wondering, when I first start the movie creation process in iMovie, which video format do I want to choose?
    DV, DV Widescreen, HD 1080i, HDV 720p, MPEG-4, or iSight? I will be exporting it to iDVD to burn the final copy to view on an HD TV.
    Thanks.

    iM is by concept for camcorders; usually, iM automatically detects the format of your device
    so, it depends on your source' format.
    if DVD is delivery-format, the two 'webcam' (the last in the list) formats are too small.

  • IMovie HD freezes when create a new project

    We still use iMovie HD 06 in our schools. It freezes everytime when one studnet tried to create a new project. I deleted com.apple.imovie.plist file, but it didn't help. I tried logon with another user, iMoive HD didn't freeze on creating new project. Saved this project to Shared folder and give everyone Read&Write permission. Login back the first student, tried to open the good project, but it still frozen.
    They are all AD users, I checked their own ~/Library/Preferences folder, but didn't find any plist file crushed.
    Any idea? Thanks,

    Hi
    My main guess is that there are a troublesome pref file but figuring out
    which one will take for eons.
    Can also be plug-ins to eg QuickTime.
    I would bite the sour Apple (sorry) and make new accounts to all users.
    At least they will start working again.

  • Project Server default groups when we create new project site

    Hi,
    When we create new project site in project server 2013 in site settings page some default groups are already present with some default permissions and some default members.
    Interesting thing is that the members of these group are same when ever we create a new site.
    Can you please help me understand, what these groups are, how they get created and how they are having some default members. Where are these members coming from.
    Our project server is having project server permission mode.
    Thanks,
    Bhawna.

    I briefly searched the MSTechNet but was not able to find a succinct article on this point for 2013, if someone has that, can they pls share. However, if you read most of the articles under this area,
    you get the idea.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161361(v=office.15).aspx
    From 2010 this applies and is still "similar"
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197668(v=office.14).aspx
    In 2013, for every Project Site (connected SharePoint site as it is now called in 2013), 2 Site specific SharePoint security groups are created: "SiteProjectName Project Managers (Project Web App Synchronized)"
    & "SiteProjectName Team Members (Project Web App Synchronized)". 
    And Web Administrators (Project Web App Synchronized) is also created.
    In addition, the default SharePoint groups for: Site Members, Site Owners, Site Visitors are present but remain empty.
    Project Server controls the creation of these groups and the membership. The membership is a "formula" that goes something like this: If the user is the Project Owner then put them in the PM group.
    If the user is a PWA Administrator, then put them in the Administrators group. If the user is a team member on the project, then put them in the Team Members group. There are other factors like RBS that are used in the formula.
    Reading the descriptions of the groups reveals that for Project Managers =
    Users who have Published this project or who have Save Project Permission in PWA. 
    For Team Members = Users who have assignments in this project in PWA. 
    I believe these are the old 2010 descriptions and actually Team Members = anyone who is part of the Build Team even if no assignments.
    Further complicating matters is that if you are a site collection admin, you will see all the groups, for PWA and for all the project site (b/c you are actually seeing the site collection groups). 
    But only the ones mentioned above apply specifically to this project site.
    Hope this sheds some light on the topic,
    Thanks, Eric S. Pcubed
