IDVD launches but thats all it does do!

Hiya I have recently got iLife '09 (I still have '08 on my mac).
iDVD launches as you would expect but when I go to create a project and press ok it just doesn't do anything, it doesn't create the file or load anything.
Then after a while it just closes.
I have deleted the plist and reinstalled it aswell.
No luck

Hi
Please tell what You want it to do. Just to understand the problem better.
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
iMovie updated ?
QuickTime updated ?
Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    Can I upload a simple iPhone App that all it does is direct the User to a Filemaker Pro URL   fmp://~filename.fmp?$VariableName=Value  This launches Filemaker Go and directs the user to the Database Hosted online
    Right now there is no app store for Filemaker Go.   Filemaker Forgot about us.
    So I want to create a simple native iPhone App that all it does
    is launch
    fmp://~/filename.fmp12?$VariableName=value
    This URL will launch the Filemaker Go App
    Filemaker Go is a app that the user will have to have
    downloaded already on the device..
    The Simple Native app will launch the Filemaker Go.
    The fmp  URL has the information where the Filemaker Pro database is hosted
    and get  the user where they need to be..
    Help Me please

    That would be software. And, you said "upload." That's "uploading software." Why do you question what you stated?
    I don't know where you even want to upload this software. The only way it can be downloaded to a device is through the iTunes store. Do you even know what you want to do?

  • HT201263 iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off

    iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket, it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off.
    this is coincidently after an ios update for iphone which i did just approx two days earlier which was suppused to fix battery issues?
    also battery shows 100 percent full but as i explained if disconected from socket it switches off altogether.

    Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

    When i turn my ipod on i get purple vertical lines and thats all it does, what is wrong with it?

    It may have a bad display screen but you could try resetting to see if that helps.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

    this is yahoo messenger im talking about
    thanks
    george

    okay george, I'll try to help you
    1-download yahoo messenger. save the .dmg file to your desktop or downloads, wherever your downloaded files go. Double click on it after it has downloaded and it should open up. (ah, I see-i checked out the youtube video on how to install it). then read the terms and conditions, click on agree, then drag the app (the smiley face) to the Applications folder (the square, as you call it), then it should copy it to the Applications folder. Then right or control click on the open yahoo messenger .dmg thing, and choose Eject, which should eject it into the trash. You are done installing Yahoo Messenger. click your hard drive icon on the right top of your screen and move to the Applications folder. Yahoo Messenger should be there. If you need quick access to it, or use it a lot, you can drag a copy to the dock....
    Why are things so difficult? it's good to be curious, george. Might I suggest booking some time at the Apple store, or if you can afford to, pay for some one-to-one training
    Using the Mac isn't difficult, but it does take some practise and getting used to

    Hi, I've an iPad Mini with the latest version 6.0.2, a windows 7 Home Premium laptop and iTunes 11.0.1 (12), but I can't synchronize my music or videos with it. I managed to syncronize my books but thats all.
    I also have an iphone 5 and everything seems to work fine with it.
    I see all movies and music available to be sync but when I click on the sync button, the process starts, the bottom bar shows an increase in consumed space then nothing happens and the bar goes back as nothing was added.
    Please help..
    I have tried everything but nothing works.

    Thanks Sk8dreams,
    ....but I wish I could have lol like u right now..
    If I could get a free iPad everything I'd already kept my iPad connected and restarted iTunes, I think I'd have had a truckload of them by now...
    I've done all of these..
    Like I said earlier I syncd everything to my iphone5 successfully...
    I got my PDF ebooks to this same iPad... Films & Music do not seem to be getting through..
    I'm sure someone out there knows what to do..

    I turned off my ipod and when i went to turn it back on again it showed the apple but thats all it shows.  I can restart it by holding the power button and the home key but it never turns on.

    Try connecting it to your iTunes library in Recovery Mode and restoring it.  See this article for help on getting your iPod into Recovery Mode.

  • I just bought two ibooks. they power up but all the screen will display is a little folder that blinks icons but thats all i have two disks for software installation and software restore but all it does is that folder thingie. please help.

    Please help. Is there any other way to reset to factory settings without the disks.

    You need the original installation disks specific for each machine or compatible Mac OS X retail disks which you can buy on eBay or from several dealers.
    To see which OS X you can use go to thse links and look up the specs on your iBooks.

  • IDVD launches, but doesn't function.

    It allows me to use that nifty menu to select how I can start the project, asks me where to save it, but from there it seems to stop responding. The menus on the top bar do not respond.

    Run Disk Utility and repair permissions and verify the disk. If the verification indicates repairs are needed than do so.
    If the above doesn't help, log into another account and try from there. If iDVD does launch and work as it should then the problem is with your account. If iDVD still doesn't work as it should a reinstall of iDVD would be warranted. If you do try a reinstall of iDVD you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iDVD" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    If iDVD works in the other account it could be a preference file, other than iDVD's, that is conflicting with it. Here's how to determine if that's the case.
    Trouble Shooting Preferences
    Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
    If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
    Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
    If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
