IDVD is not starting - only bounces once
I have reinstalled iLife 06 and all other programs work except that iDVD only bounces once when clicked. I need to burn a DVD from iMovie asap and it won't load. I do have enough HD memory when I reinstalled. Help Please.
Search for "com.apple.iDVD.plist" -your iDVD preference file - and delete it.
Repair disk permissions on your startup drive with Disk Utility, in your applications folder.
Then try again.

I recently upgraded to iLife 08 and iDVD will not start. Sometimes it will ask me what kind of project I would like and sometimes it even lets me name it and specify the files location, but then it just crashes. I deleted the themes as per Apple's instructions, but this had no effect. I also attempted to re-install the software. Same result. Help!
Problem solved. I found the solution posted by Frizzonk at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1087028&tstart=15
I had to delete the entire installed themes folder but then iDVD worked. Thanks for the support folks. -
Lotto.nl will not starts, only with MS explorer
lotto.nl will not start, only with microsoft explorer on my laptop asus x 51 series
Dear Smith_123:
Thank you for your reply. However, Office had never been previously on the OS as it was never purchased. I do have Office for Mac 2011 but that is 32 bit and is not on the VMWare / Windows side of the machine. But even if I had, I would not know
how to clean up the residual file or registry keys without assistance.
After 1 hours and 20 min on the phone last evening and being handed from person to person through literally 9 different people, I finally reached someone that seemed knowledgeable in MS Support. But all they would give me was a circular answer:
We can't help you because it is a Trial Version for which there is no support offered. When I explained I wanted to be sure Visio worked on my machine prior to spending between $300 and $600 on a copy, Support could only say that I would have to purchase it
first before they would give me any help to see if it works. When I offered to purchase it right then since I had finally gotten to someone who appeared as though they could help, he told me that he was Support and not Sales so I would have to go elsewhere
to purchase the product. Very frustrating. -

Logic Wont Start - Icon Bounces Once then nothing
Hi All, really hoping for some help here as I am freaking out and can't get my logic pro 8 to open.
The only thing I have done to my mac since it last worked was installed SampleTank 2XL, which should not have caused a problem. So just in case it was the issue I uninstalled it again.
I have ensured my computer has the latest updates.
The icon just bounces once, and then nothing, no error messages or anything to help me work out what the heck is happening.
Hope someone might be able to help.
Thanks
BrettAgreed. Download Appcleaner http://www.pure-mac.com/diag.html#appcleaner
Drag the Logic app on it, and reinstall (just the app) after deleting. -
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 FrenchHi 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 ?

MBP will not start, only has 99Mb free
Hello, I am trying to fix a friends Macbook Pro, which will not start. The logo appears with the spinning cog, but nothing else - it can stay on this screen for hours. I tried to reinstall Tiger, and then discovered that it only has 99Mb free, and Tiger needs more space.
I can access Terminal, but I am not familiar with UNIX to be able to do anything there. Is there a way of accessing the hard disk via my own iMac or wife's MBP through Firewire so we can delete something. I guess Target mode will not work, as there is not enough space to start the OS. Any help appreciated.
Our friends MBP is one of the original, 1.8Ghz Core Duo with 512Mb RAM.The computer will probably still boot up in TD mode, Simon, even though it can't boot the Mac.
When used as the boot disk the computer needs plenty of free space to set up virtual memory areas and the like. That is one of the reasons why you should always make sure that there are always quite a few Gigabytes free for safe operation (Never let it get below 10% free space and try to maintain around 20% or more if, for example, you ever burn video, or other very large files).
TD mode essentially turns the computer into just another external HD, and the process occurs before it really needs to make use of the internal drive in the boot cycle.
So give it a go (just hold down "t" while starting the MBP). Your iMac should then see it as a second, external, HD.
Don't try and install any OS until you have cleared LOTS of space - 50 Gig or more in a situation like this where many of the files themselves will have become badly fragmented (because the normal OSX processes for defragging can't operate when a drive gets this full) . In fact I'd STRONGLY suggest that you back up or clone the entire drive to an external, or to another computer, wipe the internal, and only then start putting things back on. Otherwise you will have horrendous levels of free space fragmentation.
Cheers

Will not start only spinning wheel
My two-year old iMac 21.5 will not start. All I get is a gray Apple Screen and the spinner. Before this restart, I changed the permissions for the hard drive to allow the administrator to have access to the whole hard drive. I got a start series of interminable warning saying that certain plug-ins or such had to be replaced.
Can anyone help?paulfromnyon wrote:

You just hosed the installation. Most OS components require the system to be the owner, not the administrator. All I can suggest is to boot into your bootable backup/clone, wipe the HD, and restore it. It might be possible to boot with your SL install disk and restore a TM backup, but I don't use it.

When I click on iDVD icon, it says "You cannot use this version of the application iDVD.app with this version of Mac OS X.". I have OS X 10.5.7. I downloadedd iDVD 5 update but it did not solve the problem. Can someone help me out? I would really appreciate it!
Thank youHI! Appreciate some help. I just realized my IDVD 5 will not work with OS X.5. I have read through the post of others having the same problems about IDVD 5 not running with OS 10.5., but I am not clear about the solution.
Do I need to buy a new Ilife suite or can I just download iDVD 6 from here

I went to www.firefox.com
I downloaded the software
I went to my downloads file and double clicked to install firefox
The file disappeared from the downloads folder and I got the blue screen of death. and my machine crashed
Windows will not start anymore and keeps reverting to BSOD but I cannot read the failure code because the screen changes too quickly
I'm sending this from another machineDownload the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another install. Does it go through this time? -
[SOLVED] Imapd does not start (only during boot process)
I'm running a courier-imap server.
A few days ago I noticed I did not receive any mails anymore. Then I found my imapd daemon was not running anymore.
I then stopped the daemon process together with the xinetd daemon (which lets me connect to my imap server via my local network).
I restart from a terminal both daemons (imapd an xinetd) and ... everything is up and running ! Note that I have to stop xinetd too because only stopping imapd and restarting doesn't help.
I reboot my PC ... again no imapd anymore. During the boot process I do not get any error message though ...
I'm completely puzzled
The problem started when I upgraded to the linux 3.0.1 kernel ...
Last edited by Strider (2011-08-14 07:59:41)I managed to get the problem solved by removing and re-installing the courier-imap package. Don't know why that solved it though ...

IDVD Icon does not appear in the dock and iDVD does not start.
I have been trying to solve the above problem. I have archived and installed OSX upto 10.4.9 and reinstalled iLife 06 and have had no success in getting iDVD to run. All I see in the dock is an icon saying "application".
Would welcome some suggestions - will I have do a total reinstall? Hope not.
Many thanks.
Chris Fox[Welcome to the forums.
If you go to the Applications folder, what happens if you try to start iDVD directly? Your Quicktime also needs to be updated to be compatible with iLife6 (beware though that you'll lose your Pro capabilities if you're jumping from QT6 to 7).
