IDVD has ceased to work.

I tried to open up my iDVD app and received the message that it is not compatible with my version of the OS. But I have always used it, what has gone wrong ?  I have auto-update on the applications, and currentluy have iDVD v 7.1.1   and OS X 10.5.8. Why are they not compatible ?  Please ??

OK I've just worked it out !   My HDD went down and had to be replaced, which meant a complete re-installation of everything...the worst possible nnightmare. I had not realised that the Snow Leopard had not been re-placed, so now I have V10.6.8 and all is working correctly. Phew !

  • Background music option in slideshow has ceased to work in iPhoto

    I have followed the instructions in the "Setting slideshow options" page to the letter and am unable to hear or prelisten to background music for a slideshow from within iPhoto. I have no problem seeing my iTunes library from within iPhoto and the music I am selecting is not protected. This functionality used to work in iPhoto and I can listen to music directly in iTunes (not a hardware issue). The symptoms are that the slideshow starts as if no background music has been selected (it has of course). I have updated to iPhoto 6.0.5, I'm running iTunes 7.0.2 and I have all OS (10.4.8) and firmware updates on this MacBook Pro. I am starting to think that this functionality stopped working as a result of updating Mac software but I'm ready for something more obvious. Anyone had the same problem? Can anyone please help?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you repair disk permissions after each of the updater were run? It's important that it be done after any software installation or update. I'd give it another go and see if that helps. Also Terence's question regarding Quicktime is important.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • My iPhone4 Home button has ceased to work.

    It was intermittent for a while and now has stopped working altogether.  Any ideas?

    If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage definitely have Apple resolve the problem for you.
    If no coverage, first step is to clean the iPhone Dock Port to see if this returns the function, use a clean dry toothbrush. If nothing, try cleaning Dock Port with a bit of Isopropyll Alcohol.
    If still no function, next step is Restore iPhone Firmware. If still problem then Home Button Flex will need replacement or you have serious Logic Board problem.
    If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage definitely have Apple resolve the problem for you.

  • After updating Firefox on my MacBook Air (OSX 10.6.8), it has ceased to work. I open it, but it never gets beyond the Connecting... message.

    I have always used Firefox on my MacBook Air. But since updating to the latest version of Firefox (7.0.1), it freezes as soon as I open it - there is a constantly running "Connecting..." message, and the little circle turns continuously, and there is a blank page. Eventually, I get an error message saying "Connection Timed Out" - and it does not matter which website I try to contact. All my other browsers (Safari, Chrome" work fine

    Hi franverdi-
    It sounds like you've run into issues from the upgrade. I've found a Support article that helps with issues of not being able to connect after an upgrade:
    [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]]
    I hope that helps!

  • ITunes has ceased to work.

    I've tried rebooting, I've tried reinstalling, I've tried everything the http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ page suggests. When I open iTunes, it immediately gives the "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." error message.

    Haha. I have about 45 GB of content total. (thousands of songs, hundreds of audiobooks, hundreds of music videos, a few movies) I'm using the most recent version of iTunes, whatever it is. =P and my computer is very screwy. I've had it freeze 3 times where I had to restart the computer by holding down the power button, and sometimes the screen becomes covered with noise and the monitor becomes completely useless for a few minutes.

  • HT2638 since updating iPhoto it has ceased to open.  i have tried to Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard but it does not work.  iPhoto still does not open

    Since updating iPhoto it has ceased to open.  I have tried to Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard which is the suggested solution to then open a suggested solution to rebuild the library,  but it does not work.  iPhoto still does not open.  can someone please help?
    thank you

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
        Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
    Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    and, if there is one, the
    Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

  • Phone microphone has ceased working. Callers can't here me. Ideas?

    After a year of working flawlessly, the phone microphone has ceased working. Though I can hear callers, they cannot hear me. Problem came on gradually in the last week or so. It was first reported as sounding like I was in a tunnel and under water, and now no sound at all

    Did you try this, copied from iPhone: Sound muffled or low from the speaker or when speaking into the mic, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1631
    If you are using a third-party iPhone case, make sure it is not covering the speaker, microphone, or top microphone. Try making some calls without the case to see if a caller can now hear you more clearly or play music to see if the speaker's volume is better.
    If you have not removed the plastic display film used for protection during shipment, either ensure that the microphone and speaker are not covered or remove the film completely.
    Check that the speaker, microphone mesh covers, and top microphone hole are not clogged with lint or other debris.
    If the speaker, microphone mesh, or top microphone (iPhone 4 only) appear clogged, please use a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush to clean them. To do this follow these instructions:
    Use the brush to carefully and gently brush the speaker and microphone mesh.
    Brush away from the 30-pin dock connector to avoid getting any debris into the dock connector.

  • Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5?

    Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5? I've tried the disable and reboot but continue to get the network error.

    Apple has not been forthcoming on the explanation. My Siri worked on my iphone4 (not 4s) immediately after upgrading to IOS5, but I take it they have redirected the servers that used to support Siri to only work with Iphone4s.
    It is one thing for apple to only bundle the improved Siri with IPhone 4S, or  for them to remove Siri from the Ap store.
    But it is another thing all together for apple to purchase a company, and then cease the service that many of us paid for.
    Attempts to contact apple at apple store and via email have been unhelpful.

  • Airplay on iPad has just stopped working with Apple TV2

    As of today, Airplay on my iPad with Apps that were working (eg TED, ABC iView) transmitting video and sound to Apple TV2 has ceased working. When the Airplay logo on the iPad app is pressed it remains white, not changing to blue as it normally does.

    Thanks for tip. Rebooting iPad fixed it. Apple TV seems very sensitive to connection issues. I have normally have no issues with my iMac, iPod, iPad, and Airport Express connections

  • Dock ceases to work as it did before

    My dock has suddenly ceased to work as it did before.
    It used to appear on moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen, and the icons would magnify as the mouse was passed over them. Now this does not happen (though the dock can be obtained in other ways).
    After reading up on problems people had had with the dock, I went to library/preferences and deleted the files beginning com.apple.dock, then restarted.
    This has not brought the dock back to how it was. It still does not appear on mousing over and does not magnify in the correct way. Yes, I have re-set the dock preferences.
    It's an iMac ruuing 10.8.2.

    I've fixed it now. The solution was to unplug the mouse transmitter and plug it in again. Very strange.

  • HT204266 My you tube application has ceased to be shown on my ipad, how can I restore it, together with all my favorites?

    MY You Tube application has ceased to be shown on my ipad, what can I do to restore it, together with my favorites ?

    YouTube is not now part of iOS 6.
    However, you can go to the App Store and do a search using YouTube. You can download several YouTube apps: YouTube (for the iPhone, a IPad app is in work), several users  like Jasmine and YouPlayer.

  • Can iDVD 09 open and work with an iDVD project i made in 06?

    I am bringing over my iMovie 06 and iDVD projects over to new mac with iDVD 09. I took out iMovie 09 and resinstalled 06HD. The iMovie 06 files now open ok, but not the iDVD 06 projects, when I try to open them with iDVD 09. Should I remove iDVD 09 and install iDVD 06.
    I heard that iMovie 06 files will import ok into iDVD 09, but now assuming that the iDVD 06 projects themselves will not open in the newer program.

    i uninstalled iDVD 09 and installed iDVD 06 to see if I could open the G4's old iDVD projects.
    Error message says iDVD 06 will not work with this OS. What gives? Apparently iMovie HD06 will work, as far as I can tell, with just a few tests.
    What CAN I DO HERE to bring over my iDVD 06 projects so I can work them on Snow Leopard?
    Luckily the dvd projects are not many and not complex. But there are so many issues with all of this. I might as well have a computer that knows only Chinese characters. I got the new mac so my video work wouldnt clog up on the old G4. But this is beyond clog. This is cement, stuck at the starting gate.
